A Family of Shnms.

The mart of old did not suffer more than some people we have all known for the sake of appearances. A large family, poor and proud, living in a good house and fashionable neighborhood, had their reception days, and all through the cold winter never had a fire in the furnace excepting on those days, At other times the family crowded into small sitting room on the second floor for warmth and comfort, if they were not In the gay world The paterfamilias of this estab- ment had his chamber in the fourth story of the house, to which he always retired after the 6 o'clock dinner and there worked till midnight. He once said that he had earned $100,000 in his profession as lawyer, which his family had spent. His sons at the time were doing fairly well. It would answer for them to work and help maintain the family, but the daughters would consider it disgrace to earn a penny, although they are all accomplished. Said one of these fair maids:
 ''We are family of shams, except poor papa. We girls expect to marry rich men. It is our only escape from poverty
 And they have married rich men just in time, too, for poor old papa is dead, and ambitious, intriguing mamma is in ill health, worn out in her battle of shams. Eagle.

Another Prodigious sham,

For "sweet charity's sake" covers another prodigious sham. If a woman desires to become a shining light in society charity is made the ladder for such an ambition. She finds the poor orphans and the nameless women and children very interesting and pitiful, and offers her services and her dollars for their relief. The patrons of the institu- tion find her assistance useful. By and by, through such companionship, madam's name is added to their visiting list. It was woman of this kind-an arrogant, unconventional, and tasteless person, who. after earning her own bread, became the wife of a millionaire and edged herself into society through various charities-that snubbed a young author in her own house, who had gone there by invitation to read or recite The occasion was for a charity. The poor fellow shoes were dusty and his clothing of an unfaslIionable cut, so madam, not being acquainted with literary folk, eyed the young man with distrust and asked him to take back seat. An! who of us can forget how his eyes fairly famed and his cheeks burned when he was called for ward to recite Misunderstood, " a genu- inc touching little poem of his own. Brooklyn Eagle.

A Triton's Head Discovered.

The excavations on the Acropolis, at the southeast angle of the Parthenon, have resulted further in a discovery of the highest importance. At a depth of about four meters from the present level, near the new Acropolis museum, has been found the bearded head of man of heroic size, carved in porous stone, well preserved and retaining @ covering of rich and brilliant coloring. The hair and beard are, as usual, painted blue and the face red. What is remarkable, how ever, is that the pupils of the eyes are not only painted in, but also delineated with chisel. This head, which forms one of the most ancient sculptures ever found upon the Acropolis, will attract consider. able attention both from the style of workmanship and the material of which 1t is made. It appears to be the head of a triton, the rest of the body in the form of serpent, ending in the tail of fish, having been found a few days before near the same place.-London Athe- nRum.

Chinese Mending Women.

To my mind, the unique feature of Hong Kong streets are the professional menders, or sewing women, ugly, old Chinese women, with half dwarfed feet, who come out in the morning with low stools and basket of rags and sit ny tine curbstones or in archways, recesses or doorWays, and sew away all day long. They do not exactly darn stockings and sew on buttons, but their labors core spond to that, and for trifle Q poor workman can have his tattered coat patched and mended or his old garments made over. Peddlers of oranges, dry goods, lamps, toys and fancy wares stop bowling their wares through the streets to chat with the professional msnders, and of all Chinese women the menders seem to have the pleasantest lot.
 They are wise looking old Bettys, all of them, and sometimes they wear huge horn trimmed spectacles that make them look like Minerva's bird. To watch them planning and turning and twisting their garments and rags is most diverting; and two old menders down the road here are beginning to look upon me as an intend- ing customer from the way in which they try to further engage my attention each time they display their skill. The menders look dswn the social ladder a great ways at the coolie women employed on public works in the streets, but the coolie women probably find some further below to drop their superior gaze on.- Cor. Globe Democrat.

The Nutriment in Oysters.

Speaking roughly, quart of oysters contains. on the average, about the same quantity of actual nutritive substance as a quart of milk, or pound of very lean beef, or a pound and half of fresh cod fish, or two-thirds of a pound of bread. But while the weight of actual nutriment in the different quantities of food mate rial named is very nearly the same, the quality is widely different. That of the very lean meat or codfish consists mostly of what are called, in chemical language, protein compounds, or ''hesh formers'' the substances which make blood, muscle, tendon, bone, brain and other nitrogenous tissues. That of the bread con- tains but little of these and consists chiefly of starch, with little fat and other compounds which serve the body as fuel and supply it with heat and mus cular power The nutritive substance of oysters contains considerable of both the flesh forming and the more especially heat and force giving ingredients. Oys- ters come nearer to milk than almost any other common food material as regards both the amounts and the relative pro- portions of nutrients and their food val ues, of equal weights of milk and oysters Ii. e., their values for supplying the body with material to build up its parts, repair its wastes, and furnish it with heat and energy would be pretty nearly the same.-Professor w. O. Atwater.

As Old as the Exodus.

A most interesting experiment culmi- mated the other day in the raising of some wheat grown from seeds as old as the Exodus. The experimenter is David Drew, who last year received from a friend in Alexandria, Egypt, some grains of wheat taken from mummy exhumed near the ruins of Memphis, and belong ing, it is believed, to the period of the Ninth Dynasty, which would make it grown about 5000 B. C., or be nearly 5000 years old. He planted the seed early in tho spring. and carefully nursed it. It grew rapidly, and at the time of cutting measured from six and half to seven feet high. The leaves alternate on the stalk like common wheat, but the product of the plant is the most singular part of it, for, instead of growing in the ear like modern corn, there is a heavy cluster of small twigs in place of the spindle which hangs downward from it's weight, and each twig is thickly studded with kernels, each of which is in 3 sepa- rate husk. From what is threshed Q larger crop will be grown next year, as the result proves this ground to exceed ir quality anything that the modern grain can grow.-Plymouth (NIass.) Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Family nesemblanccs and reculiaritios.

Family ResemDlanccs ana fecuhHrl1les'
 It is just the same, be sure, in mental matters. There are family characters and family intelligences, as there are family faces and family figures. Each individual member of the brood has his own variety of this typical character, but in all it's basis is more or less persistent, though any one particular trait, even the most marked, may be wanting or actually replaced by its exact opposite. Still, viewing the family idiosyncrasies as a whole, each member is pretty sure to possess a very considerable number of peculiarities more or less in common with all the remainder True, Jane may be passionate, while Emily is sulky; Dick may be a spendthrift, while Thomas is a miser. But Jane and Dick are both hu- morous, Emily and Thomas both musical, Thomas and Dick both sensitive, Emily ,, and Jane both sentimental, and all four of them alike vindictive, alike intelligent, alike satirical and alike fond of pets and animals. Look at the persistent Tenny- sonian tone in Charles and Alfred Tenny- son; look at the parodying power of the two Smiths in Rejected Addresses" look at the Caracci, the Rossettis, the Herschels, and then say whether even minute touches of taste and sentiment do not come out alike in brothers and sisters.
 Almost everybody who meets brothers or sisters or cousins of his own after a long separation (when use has not dulled his apprehension If the facts) must have noticed, with mingled amusement and dissatisfaction, in ten thousand little ways and sayings, how very closely he and they resemble one another. Some times the very catchwords and phrases they use, their pet aversions and their pet svmpathies, turn out at every twist of life to be absurdly identical. One may even be made aware of ones own unsupported and unobtrusive failings by observing them, as in a mirror, in the minds of ones relations, like King George's middy in MT.

Distribution of the Eskimo.

A curious fact in relation to the dis tribution of the Eskimo is that they inhabit the coast of the arctic re- gions to the exclusion of other Indians, beginning on the east shore of Green land, ard following the coast line of that island around to the point farthest north inhabited by man. Then, beginning on the coast on the mainland, they occupy narrow strips on the north shores of Hudson bay and along the northcr1 coast of the continent around past Dc.l'.ng strait, and down the north west coast of the continent to Prince Williams sound. Throughout all this immense coast line the differentiation of language IS very small; so that an Eskimo from Greenland transported to Behring strait would in month be able to speak the language of the natives there as well as though he had been born there. In striking contrast were the numerous dis tinct families of Indians in the valleys of California and Oregon, whose languages are so different that they could not under stand each other.-Science.

Not Our Antipodes.

The Chinese are not our antipodes, h. deed, we have none. An antipode is one who lives on the opposite side of the globe, and whose feet are, of course, di- rectly opposite to the feet of those who live on this side, but directly opposite our country is wild waste of waters. The Chinese, who dwell on the other side of the globe, but in the same latitude as we, are our periecians. Those who live on the same meridian, but in the south ern hemisphere, are our anticians. Our antlpodes must oppose us both in latitude and longitude. Christian Advocate,

The Economical scotchman.

He is not man of brilliant qualities, but he is man of solid ones, who can only be appreciated at his true worth when you have known him some time, He does not jump at you with demon strations of love, nor does he swear you an eternal friendship; but if you know how to win his esteem. you may rely upon him thoroughly. He is man who pays prompt cash, but will have the value of his money. If ever you travel with Scotchman from Edinburgh to London, you may observe that he does not take his eyes off the country the train goes through. He looks out of the win dow all the time, so as not to miss 6 pennyworth of the money he has paid for his place. Remark to him, as you yawn and stretch yourself, that it's long, tir- ing, tiresome journey, and he will prob ably exclaim; Long, indeed, long! I should think so, sir; and so it ought to be for @ 17s. 6d. p
 I know of Scot, who, rather than pay the toll of a bridge in Australia, takes off his coat, which he rolls and straps on his back, in order to swim across the stream. He is not a miser. On the contrary, his generosity is well known in his own neighborhood. He is simply an eccentric Scot, who does not see why he should pay for crossing river that he can cross for nothing. Max O'Rell.

A Paradise on Eearth.

Honolulu is perfect paradise on earth "a place where one would suppose sor- row and trouble were not to be found. It is truly place of rest. where the spirit of repose seems to descend upon you, where the inhabitants lead kind of dream life, and where the chief event is the arrival of the steamer with budget of news from the outer world. I really believe that if some of our friends vert to live here they would add twenty years to their exjstence.-Edinburgh Ladies' Journal

The rics of nrs, rsoa,..

If the people talk as well as they do on the unceasing amount of rich food which they absorb in London, how ad- mirably would they talk if they would only eat less! It is marvellous that any wit at all remains in England under the daily burden of unceasing food with which men and women please their pal ates. and generate in themselves uric acid and nutritive plethora.

In Turkey everybody marries young, and, one might, perhaps, be permitted to add. those who can afford it marry often. Such a thing as an old maid is unknown among the Turks. They are a marrying race, and as a general thing the girls are married off by the time they reach their teens, and often a year or two before. A Turk may possibly fall in love with his wife after marriage, but it wouldn't be very easy for his affections to antedate this ceremony, for the first time he ever sets eyes on her face is in the n4ptial chamber, after the wedding guests have retired.
