Oldest of Old Maids.

The following description Of a model
woman, written almost 5000 years ago, is
very pertinent to the matrimonial ques-
ton. a virtuous woman who can find ?
For her price is far above rubies. The
heart Of her husband trtIsteth in her,
and he shall have no Lack of gain. She
doeth him good, and not evil. all the
days of her life. She seeketh wool and
fax and worketh willingly with her
hands. She is like the merchant ships !;
she bringeth her food from afar. She
riseth also while it is vet night, and Civ
eth meat to her household and their task
to her maidens.
"She considereth a field and buyeth il,
with the fruit of her hands she planteth
a vineyard. She girdeth her ioins with
strength, and maketh strong her arms.
She pcrceiveth that her merchandise is
profitable; her lamp goeth not out by
night. She layeth her hands to the dis
taft, and her hands hold the spindle.
"She spreadeth out her hand to the
poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands
to the needy. She is not afraid of the
snow for her household; for all her
household are clothed with scarlet She
maketh herself carpets of tapestry: her
clothing is fine linen and purple. Her
husband is known in the gates " here he
sitteth among the elders Of the land. She
maketh linen garments and seleth them
and deliyereth girdles unto the merch-
ant.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she lausheth at the time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom,
and the law Of kindness is on her tongue.
"She looketh well to the ways of her
household and eateth not the bread Of
idleness. Her children rise up and call
her blessed her husband, also, and he
praiseth her. saying Many daughters
have done virtuously, but thou execellest
them all.
Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain,
but woman that feareth the Lord, she
shall be praised. Give her Of the fruit of
her hands and let her works praise her
in the gates"
Need your correspondents who wanted
the men to state their ideals 90 any fur

The writer was fortunate enough TO be

How a Steamer Got Ice.

The United States fish commission
steamer Albatross, Lieut. Com. 4. L. Tan
ner commander, recently arrived in port,
having spent nearly month in the
Straits of Magellan, where large collec-
tions were made in all branches Of natu-
raj history. Fishes of excellent quality
for eating were there seined in great
quantities. Vessels passing through the
straits. if supplied with seines, could
thus obtain an abundance Of fresh food.
Camps Of Tueyians were visited and con-
siderable chronological material was OBJ
tained from them for the National Muse
um at Washington.
In Eyre sound icebergs are usually TO
be found floating. as many glaciers flow
into the water there. The Albatross ran
into this sound and made fast to berg
for the purpose of getting a supply of ice
for her refrigerator Huge blocks we're
then cut of and hoisted in until six tons
had thus been taken aboard. The ice
was clear and compact and lasted until
the arrival of the ship here.-Iasaiaa

Of the pardon Is the fact that the Gov

Of Intoxicating liquor Such condition

sued by a Governor of this State.
The Supreme Court Of Iowa has held
that the Governor may impose any cou-

Distance Covered by a Waltz.

Mr.. Edward Scott, in his Dancing and
Dancers" makes the following estimate
of the distance actually waltzed over in
an evening by belle Of the ball room
''Do you, my fair and fragile reader.
think you would 90 six times around
moderate sized ball room, say, making
circuit Of eighty yards during a waltz?
Yes, at least, even allowing for rest.
That, then, is $50 yards, if you went in
straight line. But you are turning nearly
all the time, say on an average, once in
each ward Of onward progress, and the
circumference Of a circle is rather more
than three times its diameter, which will
bring each waltz 10 over three-quarters
of mile, or, at least, fourteen miles for
the eighteen waltzes."
