A correspondent of the Shanghai,
North China, Herald says that to the
average Celestial it is a matter OF
Indifference how long he remains in
one position. He will write all day like
an automaton, he will work from
morn to eve without any variation
and apparently without any con-
seriousness ofthe monotony. The Chi
nese school children will undergo an
amount of confinement, unrelieved
by recesses or changes of work, which
would drive a Western pupil to the
verge of insanity. Even Chinese
infants are said to remain as impas-
sive as mud gods" To the Chinese
exercise appears to be superduous,
and they can sleep anywhere. With
a brick for a pillow, the "heathen
Chinee" can lie down on his bed of
stakes, or mud bricks, or rattan,
and sleep the sleep of the just, with
no reference to the rest of creation.
He does not want darkened room,
nor does he require others to be still.
The sinfant crying in the night may
continue to cry, for all he cares; it
does not disturb him. In the case
of most working people, and also in
that of many Others, position in sleep
is of no sort of consequence.

Wheat from Seed 5000 Years Old.

A most interesting experiment cul-
minated in the raising of some wheat
as old as the exodus. The ex-
perimenter is David Drew, who last
year received from a friend in Alex
andria, Egypt, some grains of wheat
taken from mummy exhumed near
the ruins of Memphis, and belonging,
if is believed, to the period Of the
ninth dynasty, which would make it
grown about three thousand years

old. He plan ted the seed early in the
spring and carefully nursed it. It

ting measured from six and half to
seven feet high. The leaves alternate
on the stalk like common wheat, but
the product of the plant is the most
singular part of it, for instead OF
growing in an ear like modern corn,
there is a heavy cluster of small
twigs in place OF the spindle, which
hangs downward from it's weight,
and each twig is thickly studded with
KERNELS, each OF which is in q
separate husk. From what is
threshed a larger crop win be grown
next year, as The result proves this
to exceed in quality anything mod
ern grain can grow.-Cincinnatti

How q Toad Undressed.

A gentleman sends an amusing
description of "How a Toad Takes

he has seen one doit, and q friend

"Ahout the middle Of July I found a
toad in hill Of melons, and not

but he appeared unconcerned and

all his skin into folds on his sides and
hips; then graaping one hind leg with
both his hands he hailed of one leg
of his pants the same as anyone would
then stripped the other hind leg in
the same way. He then took hiscast-
on cuticle forward between his fore
legs into his mouth and swallowed it;
then, raising and lowering his head,

The Old.FashiOned Girl.

She was little girl until she was
fifteen years old, and she helped her
mother in her household duties. She
had her hours to play, and enjoyed
herself to the fullest extent. She
never said to her motAer,s1 don't
antto," for obedience was to her a
cherished virtue. She arose In the
morning when called, and we do not
suppose she had her hair done up in
curl papers and crimping pins, or
banged over her forehead. She
did not grow into young lady
and talk about her beau before she
was in her teens, and she did notread
dime novels, nor was she fancying a
hero in every boy she met. The old
fashioned girl was modest in her de-
meanor, and she never talked slang
nor used by-words. She did not
laugh at old people nor make fun of
eripples, She had respect for her
elders, aud was not above listening
to counsel from those older than her.
self. She did not konw as much as
her mother nor did she think that
her judgement was as good as that
of her grandmother. She did notgo
to parties by the time she was ten
years old and stay till after mid
night, dancing with chance young
men who happened to be present.
She went to bed in season, and
doubtless she said her prayers and
slept the sleep ofinnocence rose up in
the morning happy and capable Of
giving happiness. And now, if there
is an old-fashioned girl i9 the world
to-day, may heaven bless and keep
her and raise up others like her.
