A pamphlet published by the Anxious
Parent of three daughters who have
adopted the profession of governess
gives the following incidents: The eldest
girl, who is 81. holds a senior Cambridge
certificate, speaks French %fluently, is a
fair pianist and artist and sings moder-
ately well. She receives her board dur
ing term time. but earns only 500 a
year, and out of this has her travelling
expenses to pay. The other incidents are
still stronger arguments I'm favor OF "bet-
ter payment of the lady teacher"
The second is 10. She is very fairly
educated-that is, she can teach the rudi-
ments Of French, Latin, German, Euclid
and algebra. She holds a certificate
from the Royal Academy Of Music as hnv-
ing passed the enior local examination,
and has taken several honors and cortih-
Gates for drawing and painting. She
teaches in a large day school. but as YET
gets nc salary.
The third, aged ~, has acquired French
on the continent, is well grounded in
Latin and German, is well up in English
generally and plays the piano fairly well.
She gets her board and lodging, but,
alas! no pay.
The only remedy for this condition Of
poor pay which the anxious parent can
suggest is the formation OF a charitable
fund for aiding all lady teachers. lie
proposes that the girls attending the
schools shall be asked to give a trifie
toward raising such a fund.

A Worm Of australia

The Megascolides Australis, an earth
worm Of Australia, is the size of an ordi-
nary adder and at least six feet long. 1t
is usually to be found on the banks Dor
dering small rivers, though it occasion
ally seeks the open country, where one
may come upon it by pulling up a stump
or upturDing the EARTH. 1t is no. an easy
matter to drag this gigantic worm from
the winding galleries which form its re-
treat. 1t lives a comparatively peaceful
life, since its physical features furnish
admirable defense against such enemies
as it might naturally have. Its body ex-
hales a strong odor similar to that of
c~reosote, and has the power Of ejecting,
TO a distance of several inches, jets Of a
milky fluid.
Moreover, its life is entirely a subter-
ranean one, and thus it is secure from
the attacks of c~zrnivorous animals.
Naturalists, of course, have an interest
in its capture, and the aborigines use the
oily fluid into which the dead body Of
the creature resolves itself as a remedy
for rheumatism, but it is not very ac-
lively sought. When such worms are
once dragged from beneath the surface,
however, they lose the agility which,
Auteus like, they seek to gain from o n
tact with the earth, and lie absolutely
passive, making no attempt to ove.-
Nature.
