THE DUTIES OF THE eKTTLKR SIX
now BEST FULruLEp.
What q great task Is assigned to wo-
man. It's dignity can not be elevated. II Is
not her province to make laws, to lead
armies, nor to be at the head Of great en-
terprises, but to her 10 given the power 10
form those by whom the laws are made,
TO teach the leaders Of mighty armies and
the governors Of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest taint Of bodily infnnity touch
the frail creature whose moral, intellect
ual and physical being Is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul of her offspring those pure senti-
ments which in time to come will be
part of themselves, and bless generations
vet unborn. Yes, to woman is given the
blessed privilege Of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages Of his existence. She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothes the
bereaved heart. This Is her province and
duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed of a strong and healthy
bodyi The preparation Of DR.. S. b.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is just
the thing for persons suffering from ma
iority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. ]. w. Reynolds, Of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is noted ex-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
says she has suffered for years with con-
gestion of the lungs, catarrh in the head,
and was troubled with a bad cough. She
had tried a number of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her. She was in
duced to try PERUNA, and Immediately a
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERUNA. Mr.. ].
w. Reynolds, her husband, was con-
firmed invalid. lie could not sleep well,
neither could he work. He used PERUNA,
and as q result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
says he now feels like new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Seubs, St. Clair, st.
Clair county, Mich, says: =" have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA in the various
diseases to which parents and alarge fam.
lily of children are ever liable, and I find
itin every case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it."

1l16dels have VARIOUS ways Of sdver-
Using themselves In Italy they con
gregate together and pose on the stepi
Of churches in picturesque attitudes,
dressed in fanciful costumes calculated
to tempt the painter in search of fit
ting subject In our own country they
make periodical pilgrimages to studios
and leave greasy cards upon which are
ascribed their names and addresses,
with sometimes word or two added by
way OF recommendation. One will call
attention to his hands, another to his
arm, Ms having been pronounced perfect
by brethren Of the brush. The word
ing OF these documents is often obscure
and always original. The following is a
printed specimen from an italian who
was at one time in the model market
"Mr. Giovanni Stovilla just arrived
from Paris offre himself like model te
the painter on all performer, and beg to
written him at the following address;
Eyre place, Leather-lane Holborn." Az
q general rule. italian models are re-
markable for their sobriety and pune
tuality, as well as for their symmetrical
forms and powers of endurance, the lat
ter being very necessary qualification.
Some models are physically unfit for tha
duties sometimes imposed upon them.
There are models who delight in assrm-
ing postures difficult to sustain, and
make boast of this ability to their
brethren. Fictitious friars and sham
Christian martyrs have been known to
remain on their bended knees, with
hands uplifted to the studio skylight, for
several hours OF o stretch, while Others
have similarly "sat" in mid air sus-
pended by ropes and poles like aero
butts, for flying or angelic positions
II is recorded of one of the old masters
--Tintoretto, if ] am not mistaken-that
for picture of the crucifxion he pinned
his subject to cross An expressive
model is notso easily met with, as there
are those who cannot be induced either
to laugh, weep, show fear, anger, or ex-
hibit any other emotion. 1t is recorded
of theatrical "super" who used TO
sit for historical subjects that when told
to fold his arms he invariable accom-
panied the action by melodramatjc
soowl, which was alike out of harmony
with the character he was representing
and irritating to the artist who was
painting him. Another histrionic
worthy when requested to express sur
prise would persistently assume va
can't and an unmeaning stare.

ELEPHANTS AT WORK.

In turning square timber tusker
puts his ttlsks under the edge, lifts
upward and forward at an angle of forty
five degrees, and easily throws it over;
but the female or muckna, having no
tusks, has to kneel, place the base of
the trunk, not the forehead against the
side of the log, and by downward and
forward pressure against the upper edge
of the log push it over. In either case
the work is done in less than minute
if there be no special difficulty to over
come. In the Sungam timber depot all
the work of piling and arranging the
logs in regular order at equal distances
apart, with the right side uppermost,
was performed by elephants under the
direction of their mahouts A word of
command, silent touch of the hand or
knee was enough, There was no loud
bawling or angry swearing ct the labor
ers, such as would have been absolutely
necessary had they been Barbados or
Demerara negroes, nor was there any
insulting back talk CT insubordination,
such as those abominable scallawagg are
wont to indulge in. In fact, the ele-
plants worked like intelligent human
beings of the better sort,

JEFF DAvIs's oHILDRE3

Two Of the cherubims on the frescoed
walls OF one of the Senate committee

this frescoing was done Mr.. Davis was
Captain, now General Meigs, who was
then in charge Of the Capitol, the pic
lures of the children, and asked him 70
have Brnmidi use them 10 paint from.

was put there when Lee was ralnemb rcd
as a dapper man with no beard. Ye% !,

man who surrendered to Grant Brat
midi had no means OF knowing that he
had let his beard grow,
Two likenesses that are known t0 have
been put into this grand allegory intcn,
tionally are those OF Mr., Walter, He
architect and Robert Morris. the grea5
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Morris
is the figure representing the merchant,
Blumidi first placed the head OF General
Meigs upon this figure, but that gentle
man requested that il be taken ont,
much against the wishes of the artist,
who wanted to do this honor to his kind
patron. He finally agreed, however, to
substitute the head Of Robert Morris,
who was considered TO have done more
than any other man of his day for the
commerce of the country. The figures
of Franklin, Morse and Fulton were
used to personify science and invention,
and it is not unlikely that the artist
casting about for Discord in about the
year 1868 should strike upon the great
secessionists, and that the likenesses in
that case are as real as in the others.

WHY PEOPLE WERE BURIED.

When men began to bury their dead
they did so in the firm belief in another
life, which life was regarded as the
exact counterpart of this present one.
The unsophisticated savage, holding
that in that equal sky his faithful deg
would bear him company, naturally
enough had the dog in question killed
and buried with him, in order that ii
might follow him to the happy hunting
ground. Clearly, you can't hunt with,
out your arrows and your tomahawk; so
the flint weapons and the trusty bow
accompanied their owner in his new
dwelling place. The wooden shaft, the
deer sinew bowstring, the perishable
articles of food and drink have long
since decayed within the damp tumulus;
but the harder stone and earthenware
articles have survived till now, to tell
the story of that crude and simple early
faith Very crude and illogical, indeed,
it was, however, for it is quite clear that
the actual body of the dead man was
Thought of as persisting to live sort OF
underground life within the barrow. A
stone hut was constructed for its use !;
real weapons and implements were left
by its sides, and slaves and wives were
ruthlessly massacred, asstill in Ashantee,
in order that their bodies might accom-
pany the corpse Of the buried master in
his subterranean dwelling. In all this
we have clear evidence of very incon-
sistent, savage, materialistic belief, not
indeed in the immortality Of the soul
but in the underground life OF the dead
body.

occasions; my sister is now fourteen
years old d-you must marry her." AS
etiquette forhidsla plump refusal, the
gentleman thus honored gives half
ucquiesence, and then hurries off to
instruct some old lady to act as 60
between. Should he be satisfied with
the report made, after due inquiry by
this adviser tile wedding is arranged;
but not until the very last moment is
the expcutan. bridegroom allowed to
see his future spouse and then it would
be contrary to the prescriptions of soci-
ETY. to diaw back, however unprepos-
sessing she might prove to be. After
the performance Of the ceremony o very
curious piece Of etiquette comes into
play. Among the Asiatics and uncivi-
lized people generally it is the rule of
the bride-elect to feign coyness; but
among the Arnauts the bridegroom has
to make this pretence. After the mar
riage feast is over, and the newly-made
wife has Withdrawn, her husband fingers
behind, and is subjected to variety of
:ough usage by her relatives. Here,
however, the subsection of the husband
ends and his reign commences. The
wife is now subject to his caprices, and
is expected to be subservient 10 his COM
nands and wishes.

Hard ON the Dogs.

In Scotland in most of the sea coast towns
whore fishing is prosecuted stray ours are
few. Unwary strangers who go to eaze on
the ocean and al the quaintness of the fisher
folks aud their homes often marvel at the
sudden disappearance of tier pets. A cap
tive dog is speedily killed aad his skin
turned outside in and inflated, is dyed as
ruddy brown with 'cutoh'' ana used as a
