and the Salemsburg choir enlivened
the exercise with excellent music. The

Come, all you fair young housewives and
listen unto me,
n mean those lucky ones, who are from
servant bondage fEee}
And some advice I'll give you in q simple
little song,
With the simple little chorus of-}irls, as

D, as you go along,
Leave everything where it should be, girls
as you go along.
You take a fancy for cake, late in the
afternoon,
And four butter, sugar, eggs, and milk, and
bowl, and spoon,
And other necessary aids, the kitchen table
throng;
Don't let them stay, clear them away, girls,
as you go along.
o, as you go along,
put each one back in its right place, girls
as you go along.
And then you'll find how easily great dea
can be done
without your being tired to DEATH al

And though, sometimes, in. spite of care
things seem to turn out wrong,
Twill always pay to smooth the way, girls

Then never leave your work behind, girls

The bee is not without touch of

The coming and the going of the bee
are mellowed by poetic. associations.
She is proverbial for industry. The

coming is a stern reality, and his going
is lost in the murky atmosphere Of pro-

tain methodical parsonage, who dined
there every day, and always at the same
table, which the proprietor, with due
regard for so regular a customer, espe-
cially reserved for him. Once, how

found on arriving his usual place
already occupied by stranger; and,
inwardly fretting at the disappoint-

the mistress of the establishment, who
presided at the counter, and awaited
the intruder's departure as patiently as
he could. The latter seemed in no
hurry, for, after consulting the bill of
fare. he ordered another dish and
fresh bottle of wine, seeing which the
habitue, who would rather have gone
without his dinner than taken any place
but his own, resolved at all hazards to
get rid of the unweleome guest, and

of notice. They are kept at their studies
until they are fifteen years of age. They
then go through course of teaching in

years. Thus they learn to do every

. A FINNISH CUSTOM.

How the People of That Russian Province
Indulge in Their Annual Bath.
"In crossing the country noticed
that near every farm or settlement
there was small log hut with openings
all darkened by smoke, and on asking
what it was always received an answer
that it was the saVna. ssss
'The savna is in fact the common
bathroom of the farm and sometimes of
the neighborhood. Every Saturday the
savna is used by the whole family, the
servants of the farm, and any guests
that may be desirious of participating.
A huge log fire is lit on a hearth in the
room, and when the bricks or stones
are red hot cold water is poured on
them, which soon fills the room with
steam. When all is ready the bathers
gather of both sexes and all ages,
simply in the state in which we are told
our first progenitors disported thenn-
selves, and this even if the mercury is
frozen to lump in the bulb. When
the room is full fresh water is poured
on the stones. and the bathers begin to
belabor each other with birch twigs, an
operation which has about the same
effect as rubbing down the nude form
by hard brush and a powerful hostler
would have. The proceedings are
naturally carried on under great deal
of fun from the younger members of
the company. When the bath is over.
and profuse perspiration has been
caused by the whipping and the steam,
the whole company adjourn to the snow
outside, in which another bath takes
place. This over, the bathers adjourn
