The Silent Monks.

The routine of one monastery is re-
petition of the life at every other house
belonging to the order Probably the
most trying part of it is the perpetual
silence. The monks may speak to the
abbot when absolute necessity requires
it. The abbot, the prior, the guest, and
the man who serves the guests are, of
course, at liberty to speak. Otherwise
perpetual silence is laid upon the order.
In certain parts of the house even those
officers do not speak except in devotion
al exercises. When Father Joseph, the
guest master, was describing to me the
business of the chapter-room he stood
outside the door, not being permitted to
speak in the room, though we were
alone there. The same thing is true of
the church and of the dormitory. I
noticed that when Father Joseph took
me into those places ne always put up
his cowl. He would not speak even in
the old and abandoned dormitory,
where are now only some piles of grain
and two unused beds.
The dormitory is an additional hard
ship. The beds consist of stats covered
by thin. hard mattresses, over which are
coarse covers. The beds are really
hunks. They are placed in long.
double line down the room. and each
one is inclosed in little box-like closet,
the partitions of which do not reach the
floor. In each room there is crucifix
and a scourge. | saw no other article
of furniture. A curtain hangs before
each doorway, The scourge, or discip-
line, as it is called, consists of five stout
cords, each knotted in five places, fixed
to wooden handle. Every Friday
morning, after the offices of the night,
the community repairs TO the dormi-
tory. Every monk enters his cell, and,
at signal given by the abbot, by
stamping on the floor. every monk, in
Guiding the abbot himself, whips his
bare shoulders with the discipline. The
abbot also gives the signal to stop the
punishment The abbot is subject, in
general terms. to the same rules as those
by which the others live. His bed is the
first, he sits at the head of the table, but
in all respects he lives like the meanest
of the order, except that he may talk

A Persian Bride.

Although the bride was very young,
having, at the most, seen sixteen sum-
mers, rouge alasl was no stranger even
to her pretty face. Her hair, which was
jet black and very long, was plated in
to number of tiny tails, the ends of
which peepe9 forth from under the
chagat of folded white linen she wore
on her head. Nothing can exceed the
ugliness or unbecomingnesso Of this head
gear; it is merely square piece Of mus
tin or cotton folded cornerwiSe and
lightly fastened with n pin or tiny
brooch under the chin, with two ends
hanging down the back, and the re-
naming two falling over the breast.
Over this again is worn the house yeil,
which envelopes the whole figure; Il is q
large square or rounded piece Of muslin
or gay-patterned chintz. and is not
fastened on, but simply kept in its place
by the arms. Her volumnous skirt was
of white and pink striped satin, hand
somely trimmed with gold lace, and
reached only half way to the knee; the
legs were bare. Often as many rs
twenty yards of silk or satin are en-
ployed for these skirts. which are
gathered into = band ut the waist and
are worn over four or five petticoats
very much stiffened. The more skirt
stands out the more fashionable it is.
The bodice is a loose sort Of a jacket Of
silk or velvet trimmed with gold lace;
the sleeves are long, and terminated in
a pointed cuff that turns back. reaching
nearly 20 the elbow This is worn over
a calico or linen shirt. Although all
dresses agree IN their leading features,
and the fashions never change in the
east as they do in the west, yet they diff
fer to great extent in detail, and af-
ford scope for the peculiar taste and
fancy of the wearer.-LOado71 Society,"

To Danish Flies.

If for forty-eight hours you can keep
every drop of liquid from a room the
flies in it will leave it. But the prohibit
ton is absolute. A drop of dew on a
rose-leaf, still more the CONCEALED
breath on a window-pane, gives quite
as much fluid as the thirsty fly asks for.
But a good housekeeper will remember
this rule SO as never to leave pitcher
of water uncovered in a room which
she wishes to enjoy nap In, or in
which she means to place guest And
she will carefully cover any other cup,
mug, glass. or other vessel which con-
tains liquids.
Observe next that the fly is tropical
insect, dislikes cold. and can not bear
1t long. For the same reason, probably
he is disconnected, even on warm dav,
by draught of air. DIR. Franklin, you
will remember, proved that a man
might be killed, as if frozen TO death,
by swift draught of air, even at the
temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
For practical purposes the fly knows
this as well as DIR. Franklin did. So
soon as your patient leaves room,
open the windows enough to start all
the draughts possible. Have paper
weights in abundance to keep books,
handkerchiefs. and all other movables
in place, that no one may have an ex-
cuse for closing the windows.
The old New England housekeeper
supposes that flies dislike darkness, and
the old treatment of summer rooms is to
keep them dark when they are not oc-
cupied by men, women, or children.
But think this is an error. The flies,
in darkness, simply recede into their
dens and caves, and holes of the earth.
So soon as the light comes he is out
again seeking his prey. 1t may be OBJ
served, also, that the apparent reason
why he annoys your patient as he does
IN the early morning, when no one else
is awake or wants to be, is simply that
he has been chilled at night and now
seeks the warmth of the pillow or the
cheek. He is not at that moment seek
ing food. If you have been careless
enough to permit any flies to sleep in
the room with your patient, you can
draw them TO another corner by light
ing one or two kerosene lamps, with
such an arrangement, for instance, as
every oil stove gives.
You should not have any flies in the
bedroom. Nor would you if the whole
house had been kept in proper condi-
ton. If the establishment is large, the
superintendent, if intelligent, will GER
tainly detail Il competent person early
in the spring TO the special business of
keeping out the flies and seeing that no
more are Matched. If your are in a
private house, read this article to the
housekeeper, and concert with her
thorough measures, taking pains to
interest and instruct the servants.

The Precocious Child.

The idea that genius reveals itself
early in life does not at once recommend
itself to common sense. Observation of
Nature as whole suggests, first of all,
perhaps that the choicer and more cost
~ gifts are the result of long process
of preparation. And, however this be,
there is certainly more of moral sugges-
tiyeness in the thought that intellectual
distinction is the reward of strenuous
adolescence and manhood than in the
supposition that ii can be reached by
the STRIPPING at bound through sheer
force of native talent. And ii may not
improbably have been lively percep-
ton of this ethical significance which
fostered in the classic mind so wide
spread disbelief in early promises of
great intellectual power. We find 4
typical expression of this sentiment in
the saying of Quintilian: "Illud ingeni-
Drum yelut pr9cox genus non temere
umquam pervenit ad frugem." That is
to say, the early blossom of talent is
rarely followed by the fruit of great
achievement.
1t is evident that this saying embodies
something like a general theory of the
relation between rank and talent and
rate of development. Where superior
intellectual ability shows itself ut an
early date, it is of the sort that reaches
its full stature early. and so never at
tains to the greatest height On the
other hand, genius of the finer order
declares itself more slowly.
In order to estimate the soundness of
this view, two lines of inquiry would be
necessary. We should need to ask,
first of all, what proportion of those who
had shown marked precocity have after
ward redeemed the promise of their
youth; secondly, what number of those
who have unquestionably obtained
place among the great were previously
distinguished by precocity.
These two lines of investigation are.
however, in a measure distinct 1t may
turn out that large proportion of clev-
er children never attain to anything
but mediocrity in later life, and yet that
the majority of great men have been
remarkable as children. Hence, we
may coniine ourselves to the present
essay to the second branch of the above
inquiry, the retrogressive search for
signs of precocity in the early life of
those who have attained distinction. -

Cause of an Ostrich's Death.

For long period one of the proudest
attractions at the geological gardens has
been superb pair of ostriches, and the
feelings Of the superintendent can be
better imagined than described when,
a few days ago he found the female bird
lying in the cage dead. The preced-
ing evening she had been stalking about
the confines of her prison picking at the
grass and other edibles with aSiditv.
the picture of health and contentment.
He was completely nonplussed, and sent
to the taxidermist, Charles Dury, with
the request that he make a post-mortem
examination and remove the stomach
for analysis-this ON the supposition
that she had been poisoned. The fol-
lowing morning employees of the garden
transferred the remains to the taxider-
mists place in Avondale, and the first
thing he took cognizance of was the
fact that the thigh bone of the left leg
was frightfully shattered. This he
thought strange, but not more so than
that all the bones had an undue pro-
portion of lime in their composition.
On opening the body the mystery Of the
broken limb and the cause of death
were at once made plain. Therein he
found an egg of enormous proportions.
In its longest diameter it measured fif-
teen inches. while the shortest diameter
was nine inches. This abnormal de-
velopment had been caused BY the steady
and long-continued addition of layers
of shell to the egg as normally formed,
and which is not more than four and a
half by six inches. Forty-six eggs, in
all stages of formation. lay in her body,
SO that had she not been so woefully
afflicted there would have been more
than a chance that she would have
equalled the record of the emu, which
had record of fifty eggs. = Cincinnati

We have all dreamed our dreams with some

But time passed along until ambition was stilled
And life finds us living with them all unfulfilled
Our dreams are but shadows of what shall be
When the crudeness OF earth shall grow sweet

When the Marrow Gauge" system shall give
