The Modern English Girl.

A rather severe writer in The Saturday
Review condemns the modern English
girl in the following terms: Neither
the moral nor physical training of modern
English girl is such as to justify the
hope that she will be invariably above
reproach. The lives they lead, the aim
set before them, all lead to degeneracy
and deterioration. They are permitted,
as they grow up, to develop all the vainer
elements, to study to show off to traffic
on their charms for charity, for popu-
larity, for notoriety, and their ambition
is to become professional beauties or some
thing equally poor and Objectionable,
ultra fast and fashionable women.'.
This is as severe as anything that
Bishop Coke or Rev. Morgan Dix could
say. 1t all shows that if morals are not
bad, manners certainly sre.-Mrs. NJ. z.
w. Sherwood in Philadelphia Times.

Tho Envelope for Use.

Never use square envelope. Few are
the male offenders in this respect, but
many, alasl the culprits of the gentler
sex. A square envelope, large or small,
but especially ,arge, is anathema in the
eyes of the postal clerk. Use an oblong
envelope of moderately large size-a
government No. ia or No. 8, CORE
spending nearly to the ordinary station
er's No. 6, is the best for general letter
writing purposes and for small manu-
scripts. An envelope which the en-
closure can Just be squeezed into is an
abomination to the sender, and particu-
larly to the recipient when he attempts to
return tho letter to its envelope, and sees
it break open the whole edge.-Horace
London in The Writer.

New Method of Swearing"

AS party Of Scotch concert singers
was travelling in Australia, the members
of it were obliged to take an exceedingly
difficult road, in order to follow their
specified route north from Brisbane.
Sometimes, during the hardest day g
journey, they were obliged to walk up
the long hills, urging along the horses,
which accomplished about three yards
at each pull. Finally, at the foot Of a
formidable ascent, the driver volunteered
a piece of valuable information.
"Folks generally swear here, said he.
cit makes the horses go better"
No doubt; but we could never think
of - The very thing use the names
of Scotch songs. We started up the hill.
''Jo-o-ohn Grumlie!" shouted one.
"Ye Banks and Bra-a-es!' shrieked
another.
"Get up and Bar the Door-oh, "
yelled third, frightening one of the
leading horses, who sticks manfully into
his collar. On we go.
"Oh, why left my Ha-a-me!' takes
us an immense distance.
''Castles in the Air!'' gets the coach
up about fifteen yards.
"We'rc a Noddin'," delivered with
imprisoned fervor, makes great differ
ence in the speed. 'My Hearts in the
Highlands" in despairing accents, sends
up slope, Willie "Tam Glen" "Ower
the Hills and Far Awa-a-a" in fierce,
excited tones by the entire company

hausted, to the mountains brow
