A Strange sEventful History.

Mile. Roussea, the once celebrated actress,
is about to return to the scene OF her first
triun1phs Her history is a strange one
During the war she nursed the wounded SOL
diers, like many other actresses, and her IA
miliarity with pain and death gave her
gloomy view of life. She, however, con-
tinued her career, end created the role of
Caverlet in Emile AuSier's play, but in the
Eent Of 1876. Pere Didon preached at Notre
Dame, and his sermons imbued her afresh
with religious mania. She used to lacerate
her flesh like Saint Theresa, and looked upon
herself as veritable Magdalen. She con-
ceived violent disaster for her profession;
tried literature, but failed; and eventually
entered convent. This secluded place she
left some time ago, being tbereunto induced
by q Young mystic and poet. Latterly she
reappeared on the stage at Cairo.--European

Rose Insects.

The insects most harmful to roses are the
green ay, red spider, rose hopper or thrips,
and the rose bug and the black slug. Now,
though these insects involves some little trou-
BILE, yet success will attend all persistent ef-
forts The green fly, the thrips and the black
slug can all be kept under by Swinging the
plants with solution Of whale oil soap. One
pound of soap is sufficient for eight gallons of
water Throw the water in q fine spray on
the under as well as the upper side OF the
leaves 4 syringe with bent nozzle is the
best instrument with which to apply the
LIQUID to the lower sides Of the leaves. The
red spider can be held in check by Swinging
the leaves with clear water; in dry times this
should be done every day. If the rose bug
melolontha subSpinosa) makes its appearance,
which is not very often, it can be destroyed
by the nsectexterrlinator.-Vick's Magazine.

ladies' Hair,

Long and thick hair is SO scarce among
ladies that when one comes to have her head
washed who has a full suit she is always the
subject of remark and envy. Not more than
one in ten ladies have full suits. Some who
had long and thick hair as children have lost
most of it through carelessness. The hair
will fall out if not kept clean, and many find
that, after reaching certain length, it breaks
of. However, if lady has just enough hair
to hold switch the hairdresser will do the
rest. Style, moreover, has favored the short
haired, for less and less hair has been worn
lately From the immense waterfalls to the
present scanty head dress is a wonderful
change. Switches are universally worn, but
in constantly decreasing SIZE Still woman
with long hair is to be envied, for her hair
will always look natural Aswitch needs re-
freshing, because, without the natural oil Of
the head to keep it bright, it will look differ
ent from the wearer's own hair. Some sleep
in their switches 50 that they may take the
oil from the head, but this is bad for the
scalp, making it too hot and causing the hair
to fall out. So many ladies wash their hair so
seldom that do not wonder they lose it,

Chained Hands.

From those suffering from chapped hands,
or for those liable to them, nothing can excel
the healing qualities OF mutton tallow. This
may be bought at the druggists or made at
home, and ought to DO kept in every house.
Take the fat of mutton, usually that around
the kidney, and try out, strain, pour into
cup and put aside TO harden. II liked it can
be taken from the cup before it is very hard,
and worked into ball, and in this shape is
much more convenient for use than if left re-
manning in the cup. To apply it, first hold
it before or over a fire until the surface near
the fire is soft, then rub this soft tallow to the
afflicted parts, working it gently into the
skin. 1t is very soothing and gives relief al
most Immediately. There are very few cases
of chapped hands, provided proper attention
is paid to washing and wiping them, that will
not yield readily to this treatment.-Cor.

and INDUCED, is expected to render strict ac-

yourself telling her, because compelled by the
necessity of the case, of every cent you spend
on personal luxuries2 She may dip into her

expenses foot up 8 far larger bill
First and last. in many otherwise happy
homes, there is a good deal Of friction and
consequent discomfort with regard to the
management of the finances. Either there is
not money enough to warrant the style as
sumed or attempted, or else husband and wife
do not agree perfectly about the spending Of
it, or, again, there is a lack Of openneSs about
the resources Of the married partners.
Among wage earning classes this does not
so often occur, where the husband quite often
puts his weeks salary without reserve in the
hands Of his wife, taking what she chooses to
give him for spending money, and leaving to
he- the disposition of whatever mis- hard hand
labor has gained
Where, however, there is a auctuating in
come, and man desires that his home shall
present brave front to the world, making,
for business reasons, or those Of personal
pride, a goodly show in the eyes Of his towns
people and acquaintance, there is often great
injustice done to wives. Their extravaganza
is taken for granted by the uninformed
How shall the wife Of lawyer, doctor or
business man know precisely how to arrange
her expenses, If she is treated like child or
potted dependent, told to buy whatever she
pleases and send the bills to her husband, she,
in the meanwhile, uncertain how far she may
go, till some day there is mutter, a rumble
or storm, when payment is asked; or, when
walking heedleSsly OF lava crust, with ruin
seething under her feet.
Entire and candid explanation Of the
finances OF tne business firm, in which hus-
band and wife are partners, and the manage
rnent Of home affairs, according to business
methods and in common sense way, would
relieve great deal Of embarrassment and
prevent no end Of annoyance and pain The
most considerate of husbands do not dream,
dear, generous souls, of the dislike which the
most trustful and loving wives feel when
obliged 20 ask for money, unless it be directly
for purposes of household economy. 1t is the
exception that proves the rule, when, even
after years of ksppy marriage, q wife is found
who owns to no dread in this regard, is con-
scious OF no reluctant aversion-feels about
her husbands purse as she would about her
own.-Margaret E Sangster in Once Week

an ounce and threequarters of water and
three and one-third ounces of the sulphuric
acid of commerce. Then add one ounce Of
sulphate Of soda in powder. In the center Of
this mixture stand small earthenware YES
sci, and let it contain the water which it is
desired to freeze into ice. Cover the middle
vessel, and then, if possible, revolve the whole
affair oy gentle motion. In few minutes
the inner vessel will contain block Of solid
ice, whilst the outer ingredients can be used q

ther blocks of ice by pouring more fresh
water into the inner receptacle. Work in
a cool place If greater bulk of ice is wanted
increase the mixture in the same proportion.

The American Girl.

A pleasing and constant topic of English
writers is the American girl, writes George
William Curtis in Harper's Magazine. One
Of the later commentators says OF her:
American girls have shown that they can
receive, travel and live without chaperons,
escorts or husbands, and are fast developing
a bright, clear, intelligent, self reliant, cour-
ageous and refreshing variety Of the human
race" Aad again, even Il IN future years
the slender Yankee belle is hidden behind the
anpler beauty of the English matron, we
may still heer from her lips the wit and
shrewdness, the accute accent, the Intelligent
question, and the rapid repartee that pro-
claim her original nationality" The 80
ciety" pictures in the papers and magazines
represent the disnay Of the British matron
with narriageable daughters as she surveys
the -avatar of the American divinity and
rival The essential differences of society in
the two countries are at once suggested, and
the alarm of the watchful parent IS justified.
/ The passages that we have quoted appar-
emily describe by contrast, which is q fact
which does not seem to have occurred 70 the
writer Doubtless at heart he IS loyal to the
English girl, and does not admit, even IN
debate, that her supremacy Of maidenhood
can be disputed When be says that Ameri-
can girls have shown that they can receive,
travel and live without chaperons, escorts or
husbands, he seems to mean that they have
shown this diStinctively as compared with
other girls.
When he adds that they are fast develop
ing a bright, clear, intelligent, self reliant,
courageous and refreshing variety Of the
human race, can he mean that it IS new
variety of girl, and that it IS not perfectly
familiar in England Soin the other passage,
VIXEN, supposing the American girl trans
formed into the British matrou, he remarks,
with evident admiration, I'VE may still hear
from her lips the wit and shrewdness, the
acute accent, the Intelligent question and the
rapid repartee that proclaim her original na-
tionalty,n would he have US understand that
these are not the characteristics OF tho Brit
;ish natroa Of today? Or does he intimate
only that the coming Of the Americans will
but enlarge the number Of these delightful
ladies2
The writer certainly seems to describe by
contrast, but he hes wisely left q little cloud
in which to envelop his retreat IN case OF
emergency. Certainly We need not press him.
Whatever he may think or say of the Eng
Esh girl, he has spoken well and truly Of her
American sister HIS description applies to
the girl who grows up amid the average con-
ditions OF American life, the girl who IS por-
trayed in her more jejune condition in Henry
James Dsisy s1iIIec. The two chief qualities
of that young woman. as represented by the
shrew,, and subtle artist, are self respect and
self reliance. Tho perple1ity of the phenone,

Some Facts from the Record Of An Ex-

Some of our esteemed contemporaries

ern sentiment. Pryor announces that
the doctrine of protection will break the
Solid South and that our people are
drifting in that direction.
Roger a. Pryor has no right to express
any sentiment for the Southern people.
He has not lived this side of New York
in twenty-four years, and new genera
ton has come upon the stage of action.
He has less right to speak for the men
who fought the war through. At the
battle of Sharpsburg he had command
of a brigade. The story among the
soldiers then went that his conduct
was such that General Lee never
suffered him to have another
command during the war. He
was around A. P. Hill's headquar
ters at Petersburg as kind of ''inde-
pendent scout going and coming as he
pleased a short time before the fall of

back on old Virginia, his own State, and
everything Southern. He left his people
in the darkest hour in the face Of the
enemy, who had their cannon trained
on the city where he had left his wife.
We know this to be true, for the
editor Of the iNedium wrote out for
Gen. Lee the full particulars of his de-
sertion as it was narrated by Lieut..

ing. If our contemporaries wish to
know who these men are let them go to
the legislative journals and count those
who voted to exempt cotton factories
