Amid our noted Southern resorts, Eu-
reka Springs, situated in the mountains
of North Arkansas, has become in the
last two years a very famous place for
summer visitors. This is due largely to
the healing nature of the wonderful
spring water, but as an adjunct to the
healthful water, the very superior hotels
OF this mountain resort, retain within
their pleasant hostelry every guest en-
joying week upon week and month after
month, the complete attendance, table ele-
gancles, air, scenery and the goodlie

remember many years ago when l was
city editor of The New York Times and
lived in Brooklyn, my mother wrote me
from the country, where she was spend
ing a few months, that a stranger who
judged of Brooklyn by what appeared I'M
der the head of Brooklyn news, would
imagine there was nothing in the City of
Churches except city hall, few Grim
inal courts, police stations and morgue.
In other words, crime has the call
No city in the world surpasses New
York in intelligence, in love of all that is
good and pure and noble and decent and
humane, but with the exception of few
idiotic reports of sermons with now and
then a record of some English lecturer or
Irish orator, all the upper realm is left
untouched Our reporters are instructed
to scent the carrion. They never bring
the rose with its perfume, or the lily with
its grace, the pansy with its dropping
beauty before the public attention but
the dead dogs of agitation and the swollen
carCasses of crime and the offal of dirt
and squalor, these are thrust before the
disguised eyes and under the offended
nostrils of an amazed and outraged peo-

you want something for the woman's
department-Women's work."
"Not necessarily women's work, but
decorative work and bric-a- brac."
"DO you know" he said eagerly, that
all decorative work is women's work
there never was a decorative thing on
earth originated save by a woman. l can
prove it to you. There is no savage race
but shows the decorative instinct i'm
planted in women. The man hunts,
fishes, kills the game-the woman cooks
it and makes the garments of the SKINS
see the beautiful tanned buCkskin-thiS
exquisite Ornamentation--w wonderful when
we consider the materials and tools. See
this wonderful piece of work, embroid-
cred with split bird quilts, fine as thread,
and laid as smoothly as stitches, through
perforations made, one at time, with a
bone awl. See this Navajo blanket; the
red in it is of rawlings saved from the
army refuse. 1t is BEAUTIFULLY wrought
into the undyed wool-none of the earlier
weaving of the NavajOs have bright col
ors. Now and then there is man
weaver among this tribe, and the right Of
women to decorative work is so under
stood by the Indians that these men are
called squawmen.
"And baskets l can tell tribe nj
stantly by specimen of its baskets, bet
ter than we can tell by skulls. Here IS
one made of the split roots of the spruce,
drawn while wet through perforatiOns
that made them smooth as waxed thread.
What an artist the poor squaw was who
wrought this water-tight basket, with it's
yarn-lke tibres and beautiful form. Here
is one with the decorative figures made
of the stems of the maiden-ha fern
woven in, shining as silk. Here is a
Moqui basket made of bits of greece
wood; in their desert land every twig of
this dwarfed tree is saved. There is no
piece in this basket over an inch long,
yet see how ingeniously the ends are hid
den. They work like the tapestry weav
ers, from the wrong side, and the beauti-
full shading is secured by using wood
gathered at different seasons, which
make the gradations of shading, which
are so artistic. Washington Cor. Gin

schooI-GirI's Fare in London,

1t is quite the correct thing to send
ones boys and girls abroad now for their
education, and there is no place so
swell" as dear old England, don't you
know" Perhaps this bill of fare might
disuade the young misses themselves
from the glorious idea, if it did not the
epiCurean parents. 1t is from the letter
Of young girl now at school in London.
"For breakfast on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, oatmeal porridge and cup
Of milk Oh Tuesday. Thursday and Sat
urday, bacon and cup of milk, and on
Sunday, eggs and ported meat. For din
ner, roast beef and mutton alternately,
with some sort of pudding or tart; on
sunday, cold beef and a very funny pud-
ing, which the lady principal calls cab
aet pudding but we call multitude pud-
ng.' 1t is bread pudding, with raisins
cut in halves and laid around it just over
the top. We have never yet found any
raisins below the crust. If you have read
Vice Versa you will know what built
tude' means For tea we have bread and
butter; on Sundays we have cake and
jam.
Fruit, you will notice, is conspicuous
by it's absence 1t costs money, and is
not very staying, and we should eat lots
of it. All this would cut down the profits
of the school, and that would never do"

Barefooted Pilgrims at Waterloo.

Coaches ply once a day to and from
Waterloo, which is situated only few
miles from the capital Englishmen are
always enthusiastic-more so, indeed,
than l ever thought them capable of be-
ing-while strutting about the historic
field. They cheer so Justly for st George
and merry England and that flag of theirs
that braved thousand years the battle
and the breeze" while gazing on the spot
where the old guard of Napoleon made
its last grand stand for their hero and
their idCD, that anyone witnessing such
scene, semi ignorant of his torical records,
would be apt to imagine that it was the
Britisher and the Britisher alone who had
plucked the laurels from the little COrpo-
RAILS brow, and laid his glory in the dust.
Blucher's allimportant assistance in
bringing about the result of the battle
seems TO be Systematically ignored by
every Britisher who pays a pilgrimage to
Waterloo. Yet / suppose where ignO-
rance is bliss it is folly to be WISE" and |
am far from blaming the cOckney who
thinks that it was the sole strength of his
fOrefathers that sent the great Napoleon
reeling down the abyss!
Some of these pilgrims are, in fact, so
extremely devout that, when they reach
Waterloo they divest themselves of their
boots and shoes, and walk barefoOted
over the classic soil. "Take the sandals
from off thy feet, for the ground whereOn
thou treadest is holy ground" has more
than theoretical or platonic meaning for
these patriotic children of Albion. If 1
happened to be a Britisher, and even go
as far as to believe in the Britton's hold
yOur-own jingoism of Tennyson, would
think twice before submitting myself to
such an ordeal for at times the Belgian
climate is very treacherous indeed, and,
however edifying such practical respect
for the national glory of ones country
may be, lively fear of coming rheuma-
tism is a thing too awful to be contem-
plated But as the old Latin writer has
it: de gustibus non est disputandum. -

NEW REVISION OFTHE SCRIPTURES.
Hair a Dozen Women at Work on An
other Trapsratfon-Tts Fsa.ures

Half Dozen Women at Work on An
other Translation-Its Features.
While in New Jersey had a peep into
a most interesting sanctum l saw the
Woman's Bible committee at work. In
richly furnished drawing room, about
broad table, q half dozen women with in
teIligent faces and busy pens Each one
had a cheap bible, which was being read
with care, and ever and anon a verse
would be cut out bodily by pair Of scis-
sors and pasted at the top Of a long sheet
Of white paper Then the other ladies
would cut from their bible the selfsame
verse, and when all had their text before
them they would begin to discuss it in
turn. One of these commentators Is an
excellent Greek and Hebrew scholar, an
other is deeply versed in current Biblical
criticism, while still another has gone
through with care all the big tones of
the great commentaries like those Of
Henry, Scott, and DR. Adam Clarke.
After the verse in question has been
fully discuss ed, each lady writes under 1t
what she has TO say about it and then
all the sheets are passed on TO a secre-
tary- This secretary, a recent Nassar
graduate, cuts out the verse from another
Bible, pastes il on sheet much longer
than those that have been just handed TO
her, and then carefully copies under it all
the notes made by the learned ladies sit
ting about the board.
Some of your readers viii begin to ask,
But what does all this Inean?" This was
exactly the question that l put to the
eldest lady of the group, who seemed 10
be the presiding genius of the conclave,
after l had puZzlingly witnessed what |
nave just recOunted in the foregoing para
graph. well" began my friend, with a
merry twinkle in the eye, I'VE women
mean to do what you men have been doing
for centuries; you have revised the scrip
lures after your fashion, and now we in
tend to do the same thing after our fash
ion. We have gone over the Old and New
TesJaments with great care, and we find
that about one-tenth of the Bible touches,
in one way or another, on us women. Now
we want TO know whether male transla-
tions, interpretations, ard commentaries
have been made in a spirit friendly to our
sex. We and great many other women
have our doubts on this point In a word,
we propose issuing what may be called
The Woman's Bible On our revising
committee sit able women from England
and America We have well-knOwn
publisher who stands ready to take our
manuscript, and before this time next
summer we hope to give to the Orld the
Bible as revised by women"
This very bold speech was delivered in
very gentle manner, and the lady then
fell to work again, one on the "board"
having discovered another passage that
was to be dealt with in the way already
described. l returned to New York, pom
dering over this strange scene and this
conversation, and / became convinced
that when this new book appears it will
create a breeze in church and state

a Singular Coincidence.

In another column is recorded the sui
eide of a Chinaman in the Queens Hos
pital, which took place Yesterday The
deceased occupied room together with
a companion of the same race. Prior to
the inquest several of the Chinese mem
bers OF the jury, who entered the room to
examine the bed, were in conversation
with this second occupant, who appar-
emily had no serious ailment and spoke
in a perfectly rational manner. Shortly
after the proceedings had commenced
Mr.. Dayton, the Coroner, suggested that
it would be we'll to call the evidence OF
this man, which was determined on.
Strange to say, upon entering the room,
although only few minutes had
elapsed, he was found quite dead. 1t
was satisfactorily ascertained that he
died from natural causes.

The ZeaIandia.

The Oceanic Company's Hawaiian
steamship Zealandia left for San Fran
cisco shortly after noon yesterday, with
general cargo and large passenger
list. The wharf was crowded with spec
tators to witness her departure, many
having friends among the outgoing pas
sengers. Several of the latter were
almost buried in leis, while others car
carried large bouquets of flowers. His
Majesty the King and other distin-
guished personages were present. The
Royal Hawaiian Band played a choice
selection OF music previous to the steam
er's departure.
