SIGHTS IN FINLAND.
Where Women and Girls Act as Postboy

Where Women and Girls Act as fostpoys
and Even the Hogs Are Clean.
Our postboys invariably carry three
or four rings Of bread and some hay in
tbe cart to feed their horses at the end
of their stage before going back. At
some Of the stations we found no men
at home. The women would bring out
the cart, send lad to the field (or go
themselves) for the horse, and hitch
ii up, and twice women were our post
boys, but generally we had bright
little fellows from ten to twelve years
old, and a few times little girls. The
weather was showery while we were
posting, and we thus lost considerable
time. / employed it in speering
about and writing. Travel in Fin
land is ridiculously cheap in the in

two and our light baggage, cost sixteen
pennies a verst, or little under five
cents mile A run of ten miles
would take about an hour and a
half 1t really did us good to see the
real pleasure we afforded when we
hallmark, or ten cents, at the end OF
their stage. At the farm-houses or
post-stations where we spentnights we
would have good beds, supper on
bacon and raw fish, rye bread, and
Swedish hard bread (delicious), and as
delightful milk, cream, butter and
clabber as one ever ate: and in addi-
ton to these very good coffee and
sometimes eggs for breakfast And
the whole for two of us cost from sew
enty cents to one dollar. The travel
ers' rooms at the post-houses were de-
lightfully clean--one or two with strips
of carpet, others strewn with sweet fir
twigs.
Then, too, the little tow-headed chill
dren were so good-natured and two or
three pet hogs invariably grunted un-
der our windows with a sort of squeal
for crust The hogs, by the way,
were always clean and really not bad
pets. We had always beautifully curled

PICTURES ON STONE.
A sketch of the Progress of the Art OF
Lithography in America.

'Lithography is profession rather
than mechanical art" said Edward
Carqueville while speaking of his busi-
ness. The engraving of pictures on
stone seems as yet almost an infant in
dustry,N he continued, as he glanced at
large lithograph in seven colors that
hung over his desk.
Regarding the advances made in
photographic art, the introduction of
steam presses did much TO help along
the business There was time VIII.
all the press rk was done we have
and this labor made Ggain and ear
high that they wer- ,,iac rch may
reach of many people. s ii aim 5ses
came, however, about iiteen years
ago, and the art of engraving pictures
upon stone received n new impetus.
We were then enabled to make terms
with showmen and made posters for
less money than wood-cuts could be
made. Theatrical managers came to
us, and we not only made portraits for
them, but even their bills that were
photographic process. Then Barnum
and Forepaugh took advantage of the
superior quality of pictures that could
be produced by engravings on stone,
and circus managers were our best Gus
toners.
NEARLY all the pictures you now see
on bill-hoards and in windows are lith-
ographs. Fifteen years ago hardly Il
merchant in the United States thought
be could advertise by means of litho-
graphs, but now there are hundreds
who have costly pictures made Espe-
cially is this true OF tobacco firms and
patent-mediciue men, who give us
large orders for advertising pictures.
''In regard to the future Of the busi-
ness, there are no fears that any other
process will supplant the making Of
pictures on stone. We make in Chi
cago some of the finest Autographs in
America, because we have the highest
talent. The duplication of colors has
reached high state OF perfection, and
we are now enabled TO produce the
sane effects with two colors that were
originally produced with six"

The Importance of InstiIIng Into Their
Hearts Right Motives for Action.
While we are making beautiful orna-
mdhts for our rooms, and lovely pict-
ures to hang on our walls, to delight
the hearts and eyes of our children
and friends, are we trying, also, to
adorn the lives of our children by in
stilling into their hearts and minds
right principles and motives for ac-
ton? Let us remember that memory's
hall is a spacious chamber, capable of
containing many pictures, and that
the scenes being enacted daily and
yearly, before our children's eyes, and
in which they are taking part, are
forming pictures; and, unlike those on
our walls, they are to remain there
through life. If they are not pleas
ing they can not be exchanged or
effaced; so, don't you see how inn
portant it is that we are very careful
ter it will be in after years, when they
grow up, to be able to call up pictures
of green meadows, murmuring brook
lets, the delightful woods, filled with
harmless and beautiful creatures, and
fragrant wild flowers, than to remem-
Der these places only as they were
represented to their youthful minds as
the lurking place of something dread
full; toads, worms, bugs, and, as have
heard children say, wildcats as big
as "a cow
Let us try and teach our children to
be happy and enjoy their childhood
while it lasts. Sympathize with them
and try to call out all the good and
beautiful in their natures by calling
their attention to some of the thousands
OF wonderful and lovely objects all
around them. Tell them of the butter
fly and the changes through which it
must pass before it becomes the gor-
geous creature sailing among the flow
ers, and of the nests of the robin or
brown thrush, with their treasures OF
eggs or young birds, TO be sought for,
looked at and admired, but not harmed.

and plants, and the different kinds of
birds in their vicinity, with something
