THE ENGLISH GIRL.

The English girl, observes traveller in
the Boston Herald, is romantic and sub
missive. While as full Of sentiment as
the ideal love letters tied with blue rib
bons, she still regards man as her lord
and master. She rarely dreams of dis
putting the supremacy Of her husband,
father, OF even brother, and her privilege
and pleasure are to minister unto them.
She is so affectionhte in her home circle
that the average man has only to be adj
mitted there to straightway fall head
over heels in love with girl who wor-
ships her brother. is forever kissing her
fond father, and disputes with her sisters
the honor and delight of warming the
pateraal slippers. Even when of high
station" she takes her turn in making the
tea and preparing the toast and slpcrin-
tending the breakfast gcnerally-a task
which mamma relcgates to her daughters.
Tire English girl breathes this engaging
air of do!nesticity. Nan doesn't say,
s.How she can waltz! how we'll she
looks at the opera. how sac surpasses all
the other girls in the cotillion"
No matter to what advantage she may
lappear in evening dress under the soft
radiance of the wax candles, what the
most inveteratc bache!o; whispers to
himself is this: by George. what i
wife she would make! And what q
home"

IN JAPANESE COSTUME.

The Countess Oyana, wife of the Japa-
nesc Minister of War, is one of the few
ladies of the court circle at Toxic who
receive at their own homes in the native
costume which European fashions are so
fast driving out Of the land of the
Mikado. The Countess prefers the COM
Portable and picturesque japanese dress
to the foreign costumes which the court
has adopted, and this in spite OF the fact
that she is one of the first japanese wo-
men educated in America, having grad
uated at Vassaar in 1852, the only wo-
man of her race who has received the
baccalaurcate degree. Stematz 1ama-
kawa, as she was known before her mar
riage, spent about ten years in this coun-
try, coming with the japanese Embassy
of 1872, and returning so thoroughly
Amcricanizcd that she had almost for
gotten her own language. She is re-
mcmbered by her college mates as an ex-
tremely attractive girl, pretty-even to
American cyes--tall, graceful and well
formed. The return to her native coun-
try was to her something of an ordeal.
She came here girl of twelve, adopted
the Christian religion and the customs
and habits of thought of Western civil
ization and went back manageable
woman Of twenty-five, with the knowl-
edge that her parents would Immediately
find husband for her, very possibly
one not at all in sympathy with her ideas.
Fortunately the chosen spouse was the
Count Iwao Oyana, who was himself edu-
Gated in France, and as whose wife she
has taken immediate rank in social and
philanthropic circles in Toxic. A num-
Der of japanese women have since come
to this country as students, and several
are here now Miss Shige Nagai entered
the Vassar School of Music in 1878, and
made love match with Lieutenant Urin,
of the japanese Navy, who was educated
by his Government at our Naval Acad-
,emy at Annapolis. and first met his
piquant countrywoman at Vassar fete
to which number of Annapolis youth
were invited. The wedding was agreed
upon before either returned home. One
of the festivities attendant on the mar
riage in Tioko was the amateur presenta-
ton of the Merchant of Venice" before
the court and Milk ldo. Miss Ume Tsuda
studied at the Archer Institute in Wash
ington, and is now teaching in Tioko in
the Peeresses' School for Japanese No
blCwOnen.

The Origin Of" Hurrah.'

Writing to the London Times, with
reference to the remark of its Berlin cor
respondent that the exclamation "Hnr.
rahr' sis said to be of Slavonic origin"
DR.. c. A. Buchheim, of Kings College,
London, says: II presume your CORE
spondent must have some authority 1or
this assertion; but I hope you WILL allow
me to point out that, as far as l know,
the record is of purely German origin
tits generally assumed to be derived from
the initiative interjection hurr, describing
a rapid movement, from which word the
middle High German hurren, ito move
rapidlv,' or rather to hurry, has been
formed. Hurrah is, therefore, nothing
else but an enlarged form of hurr, and'
as I said, of purely Teutonic origin: IN
Grimm's sWortcrbuch' we find the inter
lection quoted from a Minneslnger. IL
also occurs in Danish and Swedish; and
it would be interesting to know when 1t
was first introduced in this country IN
the Angleciscd form of 'hurry.' In Ger
many it was frequently used during the
Napolconic wars ythe Prusslan soldiers,
and it also occurs in some political and
martial songs of those days. Since then
it seems to have been adopted also oy
other nations, even by the French IN the
form of hourra. That the interJectlon
did not become so popular in Germany
as a cheer at convivial gatherings as In
this country is probably owing to the cir
cumstance thatpreferencc was given there
to the hrief exclamation sHochn forming
respectively the end and the beginning
of the phrases 'Er lebe hoch' and 'Hoch
soil er leben.' Of late the word hurrah
seems to have become rather popular IN
Germany. 1t is just possible that the
English reimported it three or that it was
revived through the magnificent poem OF
'Hurrah, Germaniar written by the poet
laurate of German people, Ferdinand
Freiliprath."

Dryness Injuries Pianos.

every few know how to take care of a
piano." said musical man to reporter
for the New York Mail and Erpress, who
had visited his warerooms.
Chow do you do it here9" asked the
scribe.
cit is a popular notion that pianos
ought to be kept very dry. Nothing
could be more fallacious. Pianos are
not nearly so much affected by heat or
cold as they are by dryness, and, reverse
ly, 10y dampness. 1t is not generally
known that the sounding board, the life
of the piano, is forced into the case when
it is made so tightly that it bulges up in
the center, on the same principle as a
violin. The wood is supposed to be as
dry as possible, but, of course, it con-
tains some moisture, and gathers more
on damp days and in handling. Now,
when a piano is put into an ovcrhcated,
dry room, all this moisture is dried out,
and the board loses its shape and gets
fabby and cracks. Even if it doesn't
crack, the tone loses its resonance and
grows thin and tinny, the felt cloth and
leather used in the action dry up, and
the whole machine rattles."
GLOW will you prevent this?"
"Keep growing plant in your room
and so long as your plant thrives your
piano ought to, or else there is something
wrong with it. 1t should be noted how
much more water will have to be poured
into the flower pot in the room where the
piano is than in any other room. In Ger
many it is the practice to keep large
vase or urn with sopping wet sponge
in it near or under the piano and keep it
moistened. This is kept up all the time
the fires are on"

The Polar Bear and Her Young.

The female Polar bear is taught by a
wonderful instinct to shelter her young
under the snow. In December she re-
treats to the side of rock, where, by
dint of scraping and letting the snow
fall upon her, she forms cell in which
to live during the wiuter. There is no
fear that she should be stiffed for want of
air, for the warmth of her breath always
keeps a small passage open. Within
this strange nursery she produces her
Young, and remains with them beneath the
snow till March, when she comes out in5a
the open air with her baby bears. AS the
only use of the snow burrow is to shelter
the young, the male bears do not hiber-
nate like the females, but roam freely
about during the winter months.
Before retiring under the snow the
bear eats enormously, SO that she be-
comes very fat, thus laying in an interna!
store of food which enables her not only
to support her own life, but to nourisll
her young during her long seclusion.
By an admirable provision of nature the
Young Polar bears are extremely small nj
birth, and grow slowly 80 long as the!
are in their crystal nursery, thus needing
little food and space. When they emerge
from their shelter the mother bear is cx-
tremely thin and very fierce.

Fortunes in Glass Jars.

A number of gentlemen were ad-
miring the display of beautiful and costly
chemicals made during the session OF
the National Wholesale Druggists Asso.
citation. ''Why does that cost so much|
inquired one of the gazers of Chemist
Hurty, who stood near, pointing as he
spoke to six-pound jar which bore the
label "Hom-Atropine Hydrobromate,
cryst. ;" valued at S12, 900 for the guam
tity displayed, or S21oo per pound.
II have paid for few grains OF that"
said the chemist, Sat the rate of sixty
cents grain, or $4,000 pound. Why
does it cost so much? In the first place
the basis of the cost is in the labor and
skill required to produce it. Beginning
with the plant from which this is OBJ.
tanned, belladonna leaves, the labor of
extracting and presenting this form OF
the active principle, atropine, is almost
interminable. Perhaps from the beg
ming of the process until the product IS
in hand one years time has elapsed. 1t
has gone through series of processes
that even to attempt to follow IN the
mind would drive one to distraction.
After the product has been obtained it
must be taken into account that there IS
but very limited demand for it. That
chemical is used in eye practice for dill
ating the pupil, and in that one bottle
there is enough for all the earth and for
the inhabitants of any of the other plan
cts whose eyes require treatment. 1t is
the limited use of many of the chemicals
here displayed quite as much as the diff
Guilty of production that puts them upon
price currents at such high figures.
when the demand gets to be great the
price rapidly declines.
"Takc, for instance, cocaine (pro-
nounced l1o-ka-een), which few years
eco odd at nearly $500 an ounce and
now sells at S. an ounce. To pharma-
cists belong most of the credit OF having
brought it into use. 1t was the pharma-
cists who made it and who employed
men in the hospitals to make clinical OBJ
servations upon it. The result of these
investigations were distributed among
pharmacists and druggists all over The
land, and these in turn did more than all
other agencies combined to bring physi-
clans to notice and employ the new
remedy. In fact, these dealers fairly put
chains upon the necks of the physicians
and dragged them up to the remedy. -

Origin Of the Diamond.

Some theories about the origin OF the
diam ond are very ingenious and interest
ing, though the amount of truth they
embody remains to be proved. 1t has
been suggested that the vapors of carbon
during the coal period may have been
condensed and crystalized into the dia-
mond; and again, the itacolumite, gen
orally regarded as the matrix, was sat
urated with petroleum, which, collecting
in nodules, formed the gem by gradual
crystalization. Newton believed it to
have been a coagulated, unctuous SUBJ
stance, of vegetable origin, and was sus-
tained in the theory by many eminent
philosophers, including Sir David Brew
ster, who believed the diamond was once
mass of gum, derived from certain
species of wood, and that it subsequently
assumed crystalline form.
Dana and others advance the opinion
that it may have been produced by the
slow decomposition of vegetable material
and even from animal matter. Burton
says it is younger than gold and sug-
gests the possibility that it may still be
in process of formation, with capacity of
growth. Specimens of the diamond
have been found to inclose particles Of
gold-an evidence, he thinks, that its
formation was more recent than that of
the precious metal. The theory that the
diamond was formed Immediately from
carbon by the action of heat is opposed
by another, maintaining that it could
not have been produced in this way,
otherwise it would have been consumed.
But the advocates of this view were not
quite on their guard against surprise,
for some quick-witted opponent has
found by experiments that the diamond
will sustain great heat without combus-
tion.-American 4nalyst.-

A FEy WORDS TO GIRLS.

tIn the first place, girls, be very care
full about your conduct toward the young
men you meet. AS jewel of gold in
swine's snout so is fair woman without
discretion And no modern proverb
vendor or mender has said truer thing.
Be discreet; do not think that young
men are the only delightful people in the
world, or act as if you thought so. Keep
them at proper distance; no man likes
OF respects girl who runs after him, de-
fers to his opinion, or lets him say rude
things to her. Again, dent go out drlv-
ing or walking OF sailing alone with any
young man. Ifyou have no real chaperon,
take another girl with you. Be most par
ticular about the young men with whom
YOU associate. Avoid fast men as you
would lepers. Men who are disslpated
are inherently low; no matter how men,
how handsome, how highly placed III
what is called society. Such men are no
associates for pure young girl.
Don't be too fine in your clothes;
simplicity and exquisite fresh neatness
are more attractive in girls costume
than any extravaganza of fashion or
costliness of material; but even the
plainest dress may be made Haunting by
its immodcst style. Again, be just as
careful with what young women you are
friendly with, rs with young men. A
girl is always judged by her friends;
keep civilly aloof flom the fast, the
slangy, the giggling girls you will too
surely meet. Choose your company more
carefully than your dress, for your friends
are true index of your moral and mental
status. Nothing can ever retrieve the
mistakes you make hvw in these respects;
you are now making history hi2-
tory of your life. God never made,
aluong all the exquisite things Of creation,
more lovely, enchanting, admirable
creature than fresh, pure, charming
young girl, full of unselfsh thought for
Others, gentle, gracious and spotless. -
