The German WOman's Modesty.

The German woman is apt to be
modest in regard to her own attain
ments, which are by no means so small
as is often represented. Between the
ages OF eight and eighteen stately
procession of knowledge is marched
before her.
In fact, except for the dead lam
guages and higher mathematics, she
has during this time about the same
mental food as her brothers, and fire.
quently the same masters and profess
sors. In history, art and modern Ian
guages she is beyond rather than be-
hind the American girl of the same
age.
After marriage the household drudge,
so often cited in sketches of German
life. exists of course lis she wholly I'M
known in America?) but the compan-
ionably, charming and elegant woman
also. She knows English, not as we
pretend to know foreign languages, but
speaks them tluently; she is musical,
has always lived in an art atmosphere
dresses well, entertains satisfactorily.
and takes her part in discussions of
questions of the day.
But she is not mentally ambitious
not conscious of the slightest intellect
ual responsibility, writes Blanche
Willis Howard. She is passive, timid,
conventional to the verge of cowardice
above all, overshadowed by the APP
palllngly prodigious learning of the
German man.

THE DOCTORS WIFE.
At the Mercy of the Gratitude of Her Hus.
bands Patients.

'Most persons suffer occasionally
from the kindness of their friends. -
said physicians wife to the New Y ork
EUeni'ag Suns Woman About Town,
but the person who really needs to
pray to be saved from it is a doctors
wife. She is so at the mercy of the
gratitude of her husbands patients.
and that gratitude does take such GRO
tesque ways of demonstrating itself.
My earliest and hardest experience as a
victim in this way occurred when we
were first married We were settled
in small town and had just fitted
up the dearest little cottage home you
ever saw, into every detail of which
in coloring, draping, and furnishing
L had put my whole soul and whatever
artistic instinct | had been endowed
with.
One of the first persons to call on
us IN our new home was a patient OF
my husband, rich and disagreeable
and hideously ugly old woman, who i'm
agined herself to be the victim of every
disease she could hear of, and who
was, in consequence, the source of a
good round income to us.
when she rose to leave she said,
looking about my little parlors: My
dear, your rooms are charming, but
see one thing they need, and l shall
have that made for you at once We
were in a state of delighted anticipa-
ton stimulated from time to time by
hints of our benefactor. 1t will cost
a great deal of money she would say,
but it will be worth it, | am sure
''One day it came, a great, flat pack
age, which we opened as quickly as we
could. There, set in a huge gilt frame,
done in the brightest possible oils, was
a life-size portrait of the old woman
that was if possible, an exaggeration
in ugliness of what nature had done for
her. 1t was the work of local artist,
and was just the most unspeakably hid.
eous product of paint and inability that
| ever saw.
lin five minutes after the arrival OF
the portrait came the wheeling origina!
to superintend its hanging, and no.
where in the room could it 90 but in
the conspicuous place where my most
cherished etching hung. There was
no help for it. We couldn't afford to
ALLEVIATE the affections of thousand a
year, and up it went. 1t staid there
five years to spoil my pretty parlor
and bias my temper, and the first thing
| did after the old soul died and was
decently inferred was to cut the canvas
to little bits and use the frame for
kindling."

CahOkia Mound.

The Hon. Thomas T. Ramey of
Brooks, Madison county, H., wants
the Government to purchase and pre-
serve the famous Cahokia Mound
in that county, and he has &C.
cordingly addressed a letter to Sena-
tor Cullom upon the subject. He has
forwarded a survey and description of
the monument left by the ancient
mound builders, and asks the Senator
to introduce a bill authorizing the pur-
chase of 100 acres of the southeast
quarter of section So, township Strange
9 west of the third principal meridian,
which includes the large mound and
ten smaller ones surrounding it.
The large mound-called Cahokia
Mound" says Mr.. Ramey in his letter,
sis parallelogram with straight sides,
the longer of which are north and
south. 1t is about 102 feet high. The
top of the mound is fiat and divided
into parts, the northern end being four
or five feet higher than the southern
portion, the summit containing about
one and one-half acres. On the south
ern end, some thirty feet above the
base, is terrace or apron containing
nearly two acres of ground. In the mid
die of this terrace at the base of the
mound is projecting point, apparent
ly the remains of a graded pathway to
ascend from the plain to the terrace.
On the western side and about thirty
feet above the southern terrace, is an
other terrace of somewhat less extent.
The side of the mound below the west
ern terrace is very irregular and forms
projecting knobs. To the northwest
corner of this large structure there
seems to be small mound attached.
The remaining sides are quite straight.
The base covers over sixteen acres.
''Cahokia is the largest pyramid in
the world, surprising the pyramids of
Egypt in size.
''On the east and west sides of Caho-
kia Mound are the smaller square
mounds. The one on the east is about
Is feet high and contains about two
acres on its summit. The one on the
west side is much larger, being about
20 feet high. They are all straight
and well-defined, coinciding with the
points of the compass, showing a su-
perior knowledge not displayed else
where in the ruins or relics of this race
of people. "-St. Louis GLobe-Denaocrat.

North Cardinals Breathing Cave.

In the range of mountains in western
North Carolina, known as the Fork
Range" a most singular phenomenon
exists. 1t is the breathing Cave. !"
In the summer months current of air
comes from it so strongly that person
cannot walk against it, while in the
winter the rush of air inward is just as
great.
The cool air from the cave in sum-
mer is felt sometimes for miles in di-
rect line from the mouth of the cave.
At times most unpleasant odor is
emitted upon the current from dead
animals sucked in and killed by coming
in violent contact with the walls. The
loss of cattle and other stock in that
section during the winter months is al
ways great, and is accounted for in this
way: They range too near the mouth
and the current carries them in.
At times, when the change from in
halation to exhalation begins, the air is
filled with hairs of the various animals;
not infrequently small dry bones have
been carried for over a mile from the
mouth of the cave as though shot from
an air gun. The air has been known
to change quite suddenly during ex-
halation from cold to quite hot, accom-
panied by terrible roaring and gurg-
ling sound.
Many scientific men have visited
the place. but the phenomenon still
remains unexplained: the residents of
that section fear a volcanic eruption.
Something is wrong sure.-NashUilte

Lager and Bitter"

One of the most difficult things an
Englishman has to do when he first ar
rives in this country, says the N. Y.
Evepiag World, is to get what he wants
to drink. So says well-known and
popular barkeeper in an interview.
When an Englishman goes into sa-
loon and asks for beer it is not lager
beer that he wants. but bitter ale; and
when he uses what | may call the slang
of his country and calls for glass of
bitter" which is bitter ale, no one I'M
derstands him.
The American, you know, drinks
whisky or lager beer; the Englishman
drinks brandy or ale, and he call his
ale beer. If he wants something very
strong, something that will put him in
a state of wild hilarity. he will ask for
glass of 'Burton's No. g." He could
not get it in this country, but it is
drink that will make man much
drunken than whisky. Two glasses
will put him under the table, 1t is a
powerful intoxicant, though it is only
an ale.
But the ale-drinking Englishman is
totally at sea here, for he can not call
for his beer without getting lager, a
drink which he naturally despises.

How We Look at Things.

You and I see everything to some ex-
tent differently. You see things from
the standpoint of your previously &C.
CURED groups of ideas; I from mine.
Strictly no two persons can see the
same thing in the same way, for it can
never happen that two persons have
precisely the same groups of ideas re-:
lating to any subject. These depend
upon our past experience or our edu-
cation, on the beliefs of our times, on
our various sects or parties, on our pet
theories, our interests, and our desires.
Here is simple illustration. Suppose
an artist and an engineer, standing
side by side overlooking a tract Of
country. What they perceive is the
same; what they apperceive is wholly
different. To the engineer the country
presents itself as a possible line for .
railroad, with here advantageous
grades and there economic bridges.
Before the artist is spread out a land
scape, with light and shade and har.
mony of colors. Suppose, again, plot
of level ground in the suburbs of city.
A college student riding by apper.
ceives it as possible background; a
young girl as tennis-court; a specu-
lator, as an addition for town lots; an
undertaken, perhaps, as a possible site
for cemetery.-ProfG G. T. Patrick IN

Destruction of Dead-Sea Myths.

Between 1870 and 1880 came two
killing blows at the older theories, and
they were dealt by two American schol.
ars of the highest character. First of
these may be mentioned DR.. Phillip
Schaff, a professor in the presbyterian
theological seminary at New York,
who published his travels in 1877. In
high degree be united the scientific
with the religious spirit, but the trait
which made him specially fit for deal
ing with the subject was his straight
forward. German honesty. He tells
the simple truth regarding the pillar
of salt, so far as its physical origin and
characteristics are concerned, and
leaves his readers to draw the natural
inference as to its relation to the myth.
With the fate of DIR. Robertson Smith
in Scotland and DIR. Woodrow in South
Carolina before him-both recently
driven from their professorships for
truth-telling-Dr. Schatf deserves hon.
or for telling as much as he does.
Similar in effect, and even more bold
in statement were the Travels" of
the Rev. Henry Osborne, published in
1873.
Thus comes out, little by little, the
truth regarding the Dead sea myths.
and especially the salt pillar at Usdum,
but the final truth remained to be told,
and now one of the purest men and
truest divines of this country told it..

PATHS Domestic Life.

l met Grau yesterday at the Gait
House and had very pleasant CONVEX
sation with him about the Queen of
Song. He tells me that Nine. Nicolini
is by no means the conceited conglom-
GRAFTON of melody and self-esteem that
her enemies would have us believe. On
the contrary, she is a very pleasant
spoken, warm-hearted little woman,
who feels kindly towards the world at
large, from whom she has received in
the past some measure of unkindness,
and reserves big warm spot in her
affections for her friends. Her voice
is her fortune and she makes it pay a
rich percentage, but she does not for a
moment forget the obligation she owes
to the public. She has never denied
herself to those members of the press
who are properly introduced, though
she is bound to draw the line at those
impetuous young men who think that
a mere business card, without any in
dorsement whatever, is sufficient Gre
Dental for admission to her boudoir.
He says Nine. Nicolini is an affection
ate, dutiful wife, good Christian wo-
man and thoroughly refined and
cultured lady, and that her voice pos
sesses the same fute-like tones that first
charmed the ears of the musical world
score and a half years ago.-Louss-

Sherman at the Theatre.

That grizzled old warrior, General
Sherman is an enthusiastic patron of
theatrical performances. He has the
entree to every theatre in the city. He
likes a seat well down in front, for his
eyesight and hearing are not as good as
they were when he marched through
Georgia. An expression of solid sat-
isfaction and he srty enjoyment fills his
face as he watches the show. He is
good listener, and follows closely
the unfolding of the plot. For the
good-looking girls of the company,
too, he has an appreciative eye. Moth
ing delights him more than to be taken
back of the scenes and be introduced
to some performer who has caught his
fancy. In his applause he is generous.
He always appears in evening dress,
and his well-known rugged face, prom
inent nose and closely cropped white
beard look much more familiar in a
swallow-tailed coat in these days than
if gold braid and epaulettes were be-

| though it were her heart beating there.
Her breath came fast as she took her
ferule from her desk. Her voice
trem bled.
Horace Gray, come herer'
The great, broad-shouldered fellow
rose obediently and came down the
aisle, standing respectfully before the
little teacher.
Hold out your hand" she com,
manded.
He held it out at once-his strong.
brown, right hand. Berta took it in
her own; then dropped it suddenly.
Her face flushed crimson, and the tears
came into her soft eyes.
81 can't strike you, Horace" she
said, you are too big, but l am not
afraid of you. 1t would be shameful
to strike you. It would humilate me
as much as YOU. What shall do with
you, you great, unruly fellow?"
He raised his eyes and looked at her
his whole heart in his eyes and on his
lips:
Love me-" he said, land be my
wife?"
Berta turned away and put the ferule
in her desk, locked it, and then did
sundry other little things about the
room before she noticed him. Then
she came back to him, and looked
straight into his eyes from the platform
on which she stood-with a strange
look in her eyes, a culver of her lips,
paling of her face-then she laughed.
THAT is the greatest punishment l
could intlict upon you, Horace!" she
said, " and I will do it,
When they were walking homeward
in the dusk, he said:
Il was bad purposely, Berta-I
longed for you to punish me. [ loved
you so could not help wishing to be
kept after school. 1 have always
made you trouble, haven't I? I can't
tell why, only that could not bear to
be unnoticed by you, and wanted
you to think of me, even as a bother
and trouble to YOU"
Berta looked up at her tall pupil, her
eyes alight with loving mischief.
'1t's perfectly ridiculous, isn't it,
Horace-my falling in love with one of
my own bad boys, and Squeedunker
at that! What will Aunt Marie sayr'
He did not come to school any more
that term. The children never found
out exactly how he was punished. but
supposed that, being too big to ferule,
the little teacher had expelled him.
At the grand concert which wound
up the singing-school Tryphena and
Tryphosa nudged each other in the
ribs, and nodded significantly when
Berta and Horace stood up together to
sing their duet.
"Must be they've made up" one vir-
gin sister whispered to the other; Just
like Horace Gray to 60 and marry this
highty-tighty city girln'
Berta's wedding outfit was simple
and inexpensive. Those who knew,
said it could not have cost more than
$40, but she looked as winsome bride
as ever the sun shone on when, in June
she gave her life into the keeping of
Horace Gray.
Rerta knew how she paid for her
pretty trosseau-and so do we.
ga girls freak her friends called
it, but Berta can never be persuaded
that fate was not in it after all.-N 7.
