In New York women are allowed to prac-
tice at the bar, but the legal schools are not
open to them, while in Zurich they are free
to study law alongside the men and are ad-
mitted to all the legal degrees, but find end
less obstacles in the way of establishing a
practice after they have graduated. And
DR.. Kempin, having graduated with honors,
found it necessary to some TO New York to
make a practice for herself. Being a gradu-
ate of another university, the University of
New York was Obliged to admit her to their
lectures, where she has familiarized herself
with American law, having been perfectly
familiar with the language before she ar
rived, and Is now prepared to teach law in
the new school. She is already beginning to
build up a practice here, and the Swiss in
New York come to her TO have their wills
drawn up and to get advice on questions of
international law.-New York World.

Whose Eye Is 1t?

Paste or pin several newspapers to-
gether. Cut a number of holes in
them about eighteen inches apart and
each a little larger than the human
eye. Now fasten this big paper
around three sides of a clotheshorse.
Some of the party go inside and look
through the holes in the paper, plac-
ing their faces close to it. The rest re-
main outside and try to decide the
owner of each of the various eyes
beaming upon them. Strange to say,
however familiar all the players may
be, they will find this a very difficult
task. Try it and see. The game is
well worth the very slight preparation

1t is with much alarm that l read in n
London Journal of a young lady playing on
the drum at an afternoon party. She was
accompanied by her sister on the piano, and
the performance is claimed to nave been de-
lightful. Having gone through every form
Of musical torture, the drum solo is the last
thing left for society's edification, but there
is something uncanny in the idea of that
hollow instrument becoming a rival to the
fiddle or the banjo. 1t looks as though soci-
ETY. was sadly put to it for entertainment
when the drum is brought into requisition.
In such a connection it is a dead beat.-Bos-

"Dr. Hammond's alarming paper on the
misuse of ice water will do no good" says a
woman writer. sit is men who are the
greatest sinners in drinking quarts of half
frozen water when overheated and just be-

newspaper men will ridicule the faults of
their own sex. II he had written a paper on
the abuse of ice cream, every editor west of
the A~lleghanies would nave quoted him APP

A correspondent of The Christian Advocate
has sent to that paper the following recipe
for medicated blackberry cordial, which she
says was obtained from a celebrated physician
In the lower part OF the state, and has been
used with great success:
Two quarts blackberry juice, one pound
loaf sugar, half ounce nutmeg, half ounce
cinnamon, half ounce cloves, quarter ounce
nllspice and one pint brandy. Pulverize the
spices and add to the juice, and boil for a
short time. When cold add the brandy.
Keep in a cool place. Dose, from a teaspoon
full to a wine glass, according to the age, until

The plant worship, which holds so
prominent a place in the history of the
primitive races of mankind, would ap-
pear to have sprung from a perception
of the beauty and utility of trees. Sur
vivals of this still linger on in many
parts of Europe. The peasants in Bohe-
mia will sally forth into their gardens
before sunrise on Good Friday and, fall
ing upon their knees before a tree, will
exclaim: 81 pray, o green tree, that God
may make thee good" At night time
they will run to and fro about their gar
dens crying: Bud, o trees, bud, or /
will fog you"
In our own country the Devonshire
farmers and their men will t o this day
go out into their orchards after supper
on the evening of Twelfth day, carrying
with them a large milk pail of cider,
with roasted apples pressed into it. All
present hold in their hands an earthen-
ware cup filed with liquor, and taking
up their stand beneath those apple trees
which have borne the most fruit, address
them in these words:
Health TO thee. good apple tree,
Well to bear pocket fulls, hat fulls,
Peck fulls, bushel bag fullsr"
simultaneously dashing the contents of
their cups over the trees. The observ-
ance of this ceremony, which is locally
known as "~wassailing," is enjoined by
Thomas Tusser in his work entitled
Give Hundred Points of Good Hus-
bandry," wherein he bids the husband
man:
Wassail the trees that they may bear
You many a plum aud many a pear;
For more or less fruit they will bring,

eide, as frequently has beer remarked.
Twenty-eight doctors in Boston were
asked about the healthfulness of drink
ing ice water. Sixteen pronounced it
beneficial. Twelve agreed it was very
good if not taken in excess. Three didn't
know, and only seven thought it ought

LITTLE WILLIE.



Poor little while
With his many pretty wfles;
Worlds Of wisdom In his look4
And quaint, quiet smiles;
Hair OF amber, touched with
Gold Of heaven so brave;
All lying darkly hid
In a workhouss grave
You remember little Willie;
Fair and funny fellow he
Sprang like a lily
From the dirt OF poverty;
Poor little winiel
Not a friend was nigh,
When, from the cold world,
He crouched down to die
In the day we wandered foodless,
Little Willie cried for bread;
In the night we wandered homeless.
Little Willie cried for bed;
Parted at the workhouse door,
Not a word we said;
All, 50 tired was poor Willie,
And SO sweetly sleep the dead.
Twas In the lead OF winter,
We laid him in the earth;
The world brought In the new year
On n Tue OF mlrth,
But, for lost little Willie
Not a tear we crave;
Cold and hunger n wake him
In his workhouse grave.
We thought him beautiful,
Felt it hard to part;
We loved him duttful;
Down, down, poor hearth
the storms they may beat;
The winter winds may rave;
Little Willie feels Lot,
In his workhouss grave
No room for little Willie;
In the world we bad no part;
IN him stared the Gorgon eye,
Through which looks no heart.
Come to me" said Heaven;
And, II heaven Will save,
Little matters though the door
Be n workhouse rave.

empress as IA lady, probably with crippled

their women; therefore, the ladies of the inn

A problem hat at a glance seems easy
enough to tempt many a schoolboy to
spend n portion of his vacation in an en-
deavor to solve it, appeared recently in a
Maine journal, and is as follows: Take
the number 10. Multiply it by itself and
you have 225. Now multiply 225 by
itself, then multiply that product by
itself, and so on until fifteen products
have been multiplied by themselves in
turn. The question aroused considerable
interest among lawyers in Portland, and
their best mathematician, after strug-
Cling with the problem long enough to
see how much labor was entailed in the
solution made the following discourage
ing report upon it:
1.-THE final product called for contains
$3.50 figures (the first of which are
1,412). Allowing three figures to an
inch, the answer would be over 1,070
feet long. To perform the operation
would require about 800 600, 900 figures.
If they can be made Mt the rate of 100 a
minute, a person working ten hours n
day for 300 days in each year would be
twenty-eight years about it. If, in null
tiplying, he should make n row of ci-
pliers, as he does in other figures, the
number of figures used would be moro
than 523, $50 ,22S. That would be the
precise number of figures used if the
product of the left hand figure in each
multiplicand, by each figure of the null
tiplier was always a single figure; but,
as it Is most frequently, and yet not al
ways, two figures, the method employed
to obtain the foregoing result cannot be
accurately applied. Assuming that the
cipher is used on an average once in ten
times, iI5,000, 600 approximatcs the ac-

A German who visited Pompeii writes
as follows concerning the bread discov-
cred there: "1n one room are shown in
well closed glass cases, side by side with
some precious objects, the oldest bread,
which was found in an oven-of which
more by and by-burnt, of course. This
bread is round and has four cuts, and
may have weighed when fresh about
three or four pounds To this day bread
like this is baked In Naples and the neigh
borhood, a proof Of how little advanced
the bakers trade Is in the south of Italy.
Our guide assured me that some of this
bread had been sold to foreign museums
for enormous sums of money, and that
before me would not be sold at all, no
matter what was the price offered. Hav-
ing seen this bread, l was curious to see
the oven in which it had been baked and
found. After n most interesting tour
through the streets of Pompeii, we found
ourselves suddenly before the house of
the Pompeiian baker.
THE houses IRE not built like ours of
today. They are without windows, with
an entrance into the interior, which is q
square, open hall, or rather yard, which,
In the better class of houses, contains a
fountain n water basin. Into this yard
the doors from all the rooms open. The
streets serve as drains for the houses MS
well as the streets. Great blocks of
tone serve as stepping stones to pass
from n side of the street to the other.
Within the house was also placed the
baking room, and the oven was built OF
baslatio stones, which were still in good
preservation. This oven was very much
like those which we sec in country baker
les Of the present day. In tho same
room, a little away from the oven, stood
also a corn mill, of dark gray stones,
similar to our old sugar mills. There
was n hole IN the upper stone, with a
bar to pass through, which slaves OF
donkeys had to turn around. "-Confec.

The Eloquenee of a Tear.

One may guess the why and wherefore
of a tear and yet find it too subtitle to give
any account of. A tear may be the
p%oetical resume of so many simultaneous
impressions, the quintessence of SO many
opposing thoughtsl 1t is like a drop OF
N of those precious elixirs Of the east
which contain the life of twenty plants
fused into a single aroma. Sometimes il
is the mere overflow of the soul, the run
ming over of the cup of reverie. All
that n cannot or will not say, all that
n refuses to confess even to ones self
confused, desires, secret trouble, sup
pressed grief, smothered conflict, voice
less regret, the emotions we have
struggled against, the pain we have
sought to hide, our superstitious fears,
u vague sufferings, our restless presen.
timents, our unrealized dreams, the
wounds inflicted upon our ideal, the dis
satisfied languor, the vain hopes, the
multitude of small ind~iscernible ills
which accumulate slowly in a corner Of
the heart like water dropping noiselessly
from the roof of a cavern-all these mys
FERROUS movements of the inner life end
in an instant of emotion, and the emo.
ton concentrates itself in a tear just Wis
ible on the edge of the eyelid. For the
rest, tears express joy as well as sadness.
They are the symbol of the powerlessnes,
of the soul to restrain its emotion and
TO remain mistress of itself.-Amiel'f

strongest of the drivers take their places
on the sides at the front of the sled, and
the others hold On where they can; all
pull back as strongly as possible when
the speed increases. Some plant their
feet straight in front of them and send
the snow flying as if from a snow piow.
Others find themselves taking leaps thai
would astonish a kangaroo, are dragged
f%uriously along, or, maybe, come rolling
to the bottom after the sled. The dogs
regard the whole affair as a Joke, and
with their traces tied together come

barking ~ioyously, others yelping dis.
tressedly, as, caught in the traces, they

their reckless companions. 1t often

Welding Rln-

II marriage Is not a failure there isn't
a question as TO the Indifferent regard in
which the wedding ring Is held. Even
the jeweler has a neutrality-suspicious. way
of presenting the tray Of plain gold bands
and the tantalizing preference for dismal
tunes which he huns or whistles softly,
but none the less significantly. a he
makes a note of the initials to be in
scribed. Very young brides wear the
yellow band, but in swell circles young
married ladies have the bravado to lay
aside the emblem of undying love as soon
as the honeymoon is over.
Among older wives the ring is discard
ed altogether, and if you inquire about
1t the matron will calmly tell you it's
such an questionable piece of jewelry
to be obliged TO wear and as n result the
young lady daughters in the family arc
married with a seal ring, o one of
which a be procured for the paltry 81,
the price of the yellow band. Emeralds,
rubies and %turguois, set In small but
brilliant diamonds, are popular as we'd
ding jewels, and not q few br~idegrooms
have welded their ideal with n marquise
of diamonds.
A bride of n month ago was married
with n serpentine ring, composed Of two
snakes exquisitely carved, each with n
precious jewel in its head. To show tho
low degree Of enthusiasm for the time
honored symbol of conjugal love at the
last coaching club dinner party given in
the Brunswick, but three ladies out of
forty, all attended by their husbands,
wore the plain gold band. There were
clusters of diamonds, c~irclets Of pearls
and solitaire stones by the quart, but
the single trio displayed the simple yell
low hoop.
Grass widows find the band, particu-
larly obnoxious, and those gay and fcs-
tive wives who have n few more links Of
freedom than is wholesome never give
1t position outside Of the jewel casket.
At the resorts and in social gatherings
n hears frequent outbursts from the
young and innocent society men who
protest against what they consider mis-
placement of the only badge that dis
tinguishes n married woman from a
spinster.-New York World.
