Mrs. Logan's Scheme.

An excellent project, said to be de-
vised by Mrs. Logan, is thus described
by the Minneapolis Tribune:
In Germany there is a custom which
SOUNDS as if it were survival from
sent to the great families to be trained
as pages, and girls learned to spin,
sew. embrOider, brew, and bake under
the supervision of the chatelaine of a
castle. This custom, in its modern
form, is to send girls, after they have
finished school, to live year in the
household of some noted house wife,
who teaches them all the accomplish
ments which it is held fitting haus-
mutter should acquire. Many women
in Germany who are left widowed and
in need of money, keep their homes in
this way. They take as inmates young
ladies, who are given year of train
ing in housekeeping. They are taught
all the mysteries of washing paint SO
that il will not peel; of sweeping car
pets so that the nap is not taken away
with the dust. They learn how floors
should be waxed to look like glass,
and old mahogany polished to resemble
a mirror; how silver should be cleaned
and china and glass properly washed;
what will soonest cleanse and brighten
mirrors and windows; how lamps are
kept in order, and what is the secret
of the satin gloss of properly laundried
linen. They learn how to market, to
choose the best meat, fish, and vege-
tables, and how they should be cooked
to be tender and we'll favored. Their
pastry falls into flakes at a touch,
their bread and rolls are light and
sweet. They know how to can, pre-
serve, and bottle all sorts of fruits and
lust how tables should be set, dinners
served, and wines cooled. They know
the art eff bed-making, busting, pack
ing, arranging closets, and regulating
servants work, and they are taught all
the important rudiments of needle
work. At the end of the year they are
fitted to run 4 house economically,
literally, and with oiled wheels, war
ranted not to squeak. This is the sys-
tenn Mrs. Logan is making a study,
and her idea is to found just such a
home in this country where girls can
take postgraduate course of year,
learning all these very important &C
complishments, which would go far to
negativing in many homes the sugges-
ton that marriage is failure. She
thinks it is said, of founding the home
in Chicago, and has already some
twenty young women promised her to
begin with. She does not propose to
make the year all work and no play
The home is to be big, handsome
house. fitted with every comfort. sup
piled with books and music, and the
girls are to find that part of the curri-
culum is in learning through practical
experiments how to entertain in every
fashion. Mrs. Logan is woman of
great energy and executive ability, and
if she undertakes this project she may
be trusted to carry it out with benef.
cial results

''THERE are moments when silence
prolonged and uubroken.
More expressive may be than all words
ever spoken.
Look at that wan and wasted woman,
once the picture of health, now so pallid.
She cannot begin to tell her suflerlngs,
but as from day to day she goes through
the house, attending to her many cares,
her at.enuated form, her white face, her
stopping shoulders, her pinched features
all tell that she is silent martyr to dis
ease. Her once CHEEKY voice is seldom
heard, but her silence tells her suffering
more than words could do. 0! We silent

THE TRADE IN LOVES FETTRRs
is an occurrence for a gentleman TO pur-
chase al engagement ring on the first of
the month and about the last to return
with his lady love to select the hoop of
gold that is to bind them together for
life. In some instances, and not few,
either, the lovers come here together aud
buy the engagement and wedding rings
at the same time. Some years ago such
a thing was never heard Of
"Do we ever sell engagement rings to
women9
"Of course we do. When the man
hasn't got the requisite cash and is at all
backward in making advances, the lady is
often considerate enough to buy the ring
herself, and TO save him any enbarrass-
ment she is thoughtful enough to name
the day without putting him to the
trouble of asking. Strange, too, that
women who do that sort Of thing are
generally old enough to know the value
of money. "-Jeweler's Weekly.

AFRAID OF SPGOkS.

The Piegans, as class-and we learn
ed the same is true of Indians everywhere
in the northwest-are exceedingly super
stitous. Their bette noir is the evil spirit
and somehow the idea prevails in the
mind of the average Indian that this
same drea led evil spirit roams about
after dark and is liable TO pounce down
upon his victims at any time. For this
reason the Indian will not travel alone at
night. He is in dread Of the wicked per-
soDage referred to and does not care to
cope with him single handed. He is
willing to travel at night if. accompanied
by others, aud take his chances, but
alone, never. When darkness overtakes
him and he is on the tramp be stops,
lights fire and camps Where he is until
daylight. With the Indian misfortune
and disease are regarded as the result of
the displeasure of the deity. Death in
some of the tribes in the great north west
is believed to be an unhappy, All unde-
sirable change, and when it occurs they
still live, although they take the form of
some creature among wild animals. And
so when this body puts off things mortal
it enters immortality in the form of some
lower animal.-Troy Times.

ALL KIND OF LEATHER.

1t has been demonstrated that all sorts
of skin may be tanned. Beasts, birds,
fishes and reptiles have been alike
brought to the tan yard, and the prices
Of their skins are regularly quoted in the
price current of The Shoe aud Leather
Reporter. Alligator skins have long
been a favorite material for the manufac-
ture of pocketbooks aud satchels. The
high price which the first product com
manded soon induced manufacturers TO
produce limitations. These are merely
embossed leather. The peculiar scaly
nature of the alligator's hide Is success
fully initiated by means of steel dies,
which leave a durable impression upon
the leather so Ierfect III resemblance to
the genuine alligator skin that only ez
perts can tell the difference. The same
process is used to initiate other fancy
skis, SO that there is no novelty that Is
not initiated within three months of its
first appearance. The alligator skins
were first put on the market In lS76.
Kangaroo skins have only been on the
markets about three years. The skin Of
the porpoise has lately been used for
shoes, and is well considered because Of
its fine grain making it waterproof. Ii
resembles goat skin. The skin of the
seal has also been made into leather, and
sells for about $40 dozen skins.
One of the latest novelties is rattle
snake leather, which is used chiefly for
making pocketbooks. The notified ap-
pearsnces of the finished skin makes a
pretty leather, and it is rather fashion
able. The limitations skins, made of en-
bossed sheep skin, FIRE already on the
market. The skin OF he monkey has
also been tanned and .sed for making
pocketbooks. Bear skins have long been
used with the hair on for caps aud coats.
and the hides have also been used for
leather. Of course these novelties are
not made in large quantities, aud are
mostly used for fancy trade. During
the past few years the hides of horses
have been successfully tanned and put
upon the market as a standard article of
leather.
American kid is now taking promi-
nent place in the leather market, and is
even preferred to French kid by many
manufacturers, who find it qnite as soft
plable and durable, and much cheaper.
1t is declared that American kid at
twenty five cents a foot is equal tc
French kid at forty cents. Pig skins are
vet in demand for saddles.-New York
Sun.

How MARY STUART LOOKED was
the other day looking at the various por
traits of Mary Stuart at the new gallery
in Regent street. Allowing that the
colors have faded, and that she might
have had q good complexion, it is clear.
by the concurrent testimony of all the
portraits, that she could have been even
passably good looking. But her nose
ana her forehead are positively ugly.
''How them" asked an artistic friend Of
mine, ''could she have been so success.

eyes" he said. "But her eyes do not
seem to have been exceptionally beauti-
full" replied. No." he said, ''they
evidently were not. l was abiding to
the mode in which she nsed them. !"
This is probably true, and it ought to lead
the plainest of girls not to despair of her
power to ensnare.-Lordon Truth.

A New CANAL SYsTEM.-A new system
of canal construction has been designed
and recently patented by an English
man. The object is to do away entirely
with the necessity for steam or horse
power in canal traffic, and this end
is sought to be attained by the creation
of current of water strong enough to
carry the boats along from point to point.
MIR. Pickard has designed double canal
at one end of which is a screw, resemb
ling the propeller or a steamship. This
screw which is worked by steam power
forces the current in one direction and
causes it TO return in parallel division of
the canal, the direction of the current
being reversible at will. BY this ar
rangement all loss of water is obviateto
and the bed of the canal is kept cleaen
This current is, OF course, confined d
each separate level of the canal, and WIN.
locks intervene another current has to be
created.-New Orleans Picayune.

LOST Four OUNCES OF BRAIN.-Omaha
physicians are very much puzzled over
the case of Kitty Edwards, who was she t
last week by John holland who after
wards suicided at tue house If his victim
in Council Bluffs. The ball entered
Kitty's brain, half an inch over the can
ter of the left eye, and passed down
some two inches in the rear of the left
ear at the base of the skull. The woman
has had full four ounces of brain matter
removed, and it was said she could not
live twelve hours. Sue is still alive how
ever, aud is constantly improving. She
is conscious aud converses with her
friends. Her physicians think now that
she will re cover, but are puzzled to know
why and bow.-Chicago Herald.

BREAD UNKNowN.-Bread is not the
staff of live to many people of civilized
nations, because they do not eat 1t
Baked Ioaves of bread are unknown in
many parts of South Austria and of Italy
and throughout the agricultural districts
of Roumania. Not many miles from
Vienna bread is never seen, its place
being taken by sterz, kind of porrldge
made from ground beech nuts, which is
taken at breakfast with fresh or curdled
milk; at dinner with broth or fried lard,
and with milk again for supper. In the
north of Italy the peasantry live chiefly
on polenta, porridge made of boiled
maize 1t is in every sense the Italian
peasants daily bread. The Roumanians
eat mama liga, made of maize and like
the polenta except that the grains are
not allowed to settle as in the Italian
dish. Sterz is also known as heiden and
takes the place of bread i'll Corinthia and
AID many parts of the Tyrol.-Good

RoBBING BANK-One of the most
daring bank robberies that / recollect
was committed in Winnipeg in 1882, and
there are many former citizens Of that
place now residing in St. Paul who will
also remember this event. The robbers
were never discovered. One morning
about II o'clock two men entered the
'erchants' bank on the corner of Main
and Postoffice streets. As usual at that
hour the bank was crowded. One of the
men stationed himself in front of the pay
imp teller's desk, as if awaiting his turn
to transact business, and hauling news
paper from his pocket began to read.
The teller left his wire screen pen a mo-
ment, and Immediately the stranger
opened the paper out and held it up
high, while the accomplish Immediately
behind him sprung up on the edge of
the counter and reaching over grabbed a
big roll of bills amounting to about
$4,000. He rushed from the bank, fol
lowed by the newspaper reader, and be-
fore any one realized what had occurred
had disappeared. No clew was ever OBJ
tained.-.S. Paul Pioneer Press.

WHEN We WERE BoYs.-Speaking of
"mibs." who has not INDUCED in that
fascinating game at some stage of his
youthful career? Every man has had in
time his favorite "shooter an
agate. an alley, or, perchance, a
cornelian-and he has had a bag of
marbles. He has been able TO make a
good ring on the soft dirt with the
sharp edge of his boot heel, and he has
often scooped holes in the ground for
'holey-boloy." He has practice tagging
at the ring for his shot, and he never
forgot the order of that shot. If he
were a smart boy he put the kibosh on
his better playmates by calling: Fen
picks an'fen everythings all aroun' the
camel" Often he has recklessly played
''chineys for keep" and even now he can
not pass crowd of boys playing mar
bles without involuntarily pausing to see
what the next boy did on his shot.
Marbles was and still is great game,
especially when played for keeps. -

Roof RIVER VALLEY GoLD.-The

ditional account of the nugget of gold
found near Whaian:
In speaking of the gold found at VIVA.
Ian recently, Mr.. II. Pitkin, who was in
California IN 40 and followed mining for
several years, says if it is as heavy and
as rich as stated, it might be we'll to look
the ground over carefully. After find
ing the gold in the crops of
the geese several years ago, which be-
longed to Mr.. Casey, Mr.. Pitkin took a
pan and found gold at several points be
tween Lanesboro and Whalan-in fact,
wherever he attempted it He thinks
gold exists at the Root river in quantities
sufficient to pay for working. We have
since learned that the nugget found by
Mr.. Ring weighed almost five ounces in
stead of three and a quarter.
