FRENCH SCHOOLGIRLS.
They Are Disciplined 20 Obedience ans

Mrs. H. c. Dana, writing in the At
lantic Monthly about what Frencl
Girls Study" remarks upon the ''elc
ment of stability" in education as it i
given at a French private school. Th
pupil enters it at five years of age, o.
perhaps at four, and remains under the
same teachers until her schooling il
over
''They calmly lay out for her courses
OF study embracing five, six, ten, ant
even twelve years. There is alway.
plenty of time and no hurry" OF some
other features of French schoolgirls
life, the writer says:
''School terms are longer and school
life is less broken into by vacations
than with us. The girls study moro
hours a week and more weeks in the
year than we do. School opens the last
week in September. and does not close
till the second week in August.
'There are no spring or winter vaca-
tions, and no Saturday holidays Six
weeks in the late summer, few days
each at New Year and Easter, all Sun
days and the principal church holidays,
and usually a half-holiday on Thurs
day, arc all the breaks made in school
life, which goes on almost uninterrupt-
ed in slow, healthful regularity for ten
months and a half out Of the twelve
Another element in French school
life is concentration. A girls time is
less broken into by outside interests
than with us, and there is less strain
upon nerves and imagination.
mot till her growth is attained, her
school life over and her mind and char.
acter are fairly formed is she allowed to
read novels, to go to parties and dances,
| to attend the theater, or to indulge in
any OF the distractions and dissipations
so frequently permitted to growing
schoolgirls in America.
"No matter how wealthy and aristo
cratic her parents, she is Injured to early
hours, simple food, plain surroundings
and regular occupations; and her dress
is the quiet, dark uniform, without rib
bon or ornament, which is customary in
day-schools as well as Neutrality-suspicious.
"In my experience of private schools
in both countries, it has seemed to me
that the French girl is more simple and
childlike, on the one hand, and more Sc
rious-minded, more capable of sustained
work and thought, on the other, than
the average American girl of the same
age.
From the fact of not having frivo-
lous amusements and sentimental vaga-
ries to disturb her mind and work on
her nerves, and being better disciplined
L rom infancy to obedience, regularity
and self-control, she throws her youth,
iul energy and enthusiasm more wholly
| into the interests of herschool work and
her family life; and as consequence
| she is less nervous than her American
sister, less subject to backaches and
headaches, works with less fatigue, is
more active and merry at play, more
simple in her tastes, more easily amused
and contented with everyday life and
labors, and perhaps more frank, loyal
and affectionate in her family relations
| and school friendships"

GALAPAGOS TORT0ISES.
A Race or Turtles That Is Nearly
Extinct 4
Owing to Their Excellence as an Article
of Food They Have Been Nearly Eaten
Out of Exisrenee-How They
Are Captured.

The Galapagos tortoises are the only
survivors of an ancient race of huge
turtles which lived SO long ago as the
early part of the tertiary. epoch. Speci-
mems weighing from six hundred to
seven hundred pounds have been cap
tured, and there is authentic record of
one individual taken which tipped the
scales at eight hundred and seventy
pounds. However, nearly all of the
very big ones have been caught and
Ilevourcd, aaait will not be long before
x&he race Is extnrminated - literally
s'eaten of, the faceof the earth by glut-
tonous men" 1t Is reckoned that ten
millions of these turtles have been
taken from the islands since their dis
covery.
No provisions for ships were ever
found equal to these tortoises, which
win remain in good condition for year
without food or water. A supply of the
latter is carried by the animal in q bag,
which contains as much as two gallons
sometimes. They are very sagacious,
and when kept ON deck can be taught
to confine themselves to any space ar-
ranged for their accommodation by
whipping them gently with a ropes
end when they get out of 1t. The meat
is said to be finer than that Of a green
turtle. Dampier, the explorer who Wis
tied the islands in 1884, wrote that the
flesh resembled a pullet's flavor. "The
oil" he says, 1--WE kept in jars and used
1t instead OF butter to eat with dump
lings." Rogers in 1707 wrote: 'The
eggs Of turtle are as big as those of
goose, white, hard shells and exactly
round. Two men rode on the back of
one Of the creatures, which weighed
seven hundred pounds, and 1t carried
them with ease" In 1898 Colnet report
ed that the nests of the tortoises
"were thrown up in circular
form, never containing more than three
eggs, which are heated by the sun,
hole being so contrived as to admit its
rays through its daily course" This
last remarkable statement would seem
to imply that these chelonians were
somewhat familiar with astronomy.
The tortoises are vegetable feeders,
according to the Boston Transcript,
browsing chiefly on succufent cactus.
1t is said that they are entirely deaf, so
that even the report of gun does not
startle or alarm them. At intervals
they make pilgrimages to the hill tops,
where water is to be found, travelling by
night only. Thus, in the course of CEN
turies. they have worn regular roads
from the shore up the mountain sides,
by following which the Spaniards first
discovered the watering places. They
havever long and snake-like necks and
heads, and their feet surprisingly re-
semble those of an elephant. Their
clumsy method of locomotion also sug-
gests likeness to the great pachyderm
Undoubtedly they live to very great
age, and their aspect is most venerable.

Dangers Resulting from Exposure While
in Attendance at Durials.
The barred head at funerals is, for hy-
gienic reasons, becoming a custom OF
the past in some localities. An agita-
ton against it was started by Capt.
George A. Raabe, member of many be-
nevolent societies in San Francisco, and
as result of his labors nearly every
society Of the kind on the Pacific coast
has adopted resolutions to the effect
that the members shall keep their hats
on at the graves of their departed COM
rades. Grand army posts in California
have followed suit. Societies in Milwau-
kee are discussing the same question
Health Commissioner Wingate, of that
city, recently made these sensible re-
marks on the subject of the exactions
of the modern funeral: death comes
at time very often in family when
an overworkcd and nearly brolscn-down
mother or sister or wife, or perhaps a
husband, is nearly, if not completely,
prostratcd, and whose health is in q
most precarious condition. Physicians
can testify, as no other class in the
community can, to the often serious re-
suits OF funeral as it is conducted now
adays. A delicate member of the fam
lily, who, perhaps, has not been out OF
the house for q week, worn down and
prostrated by the care and grief Incl.
dent to the loss of a dear relative, is
subjected to long, slow ride in a car.
riage on cold, inclement day. Custom
has its way; the victim, following the
custom, thinking it a duty, returns to
her home, not to go out again till she is
followed over the same road to the last
resting place by others who perhaps
all victims after her. am a compare.

The ideal form of beauty in female
face lies, without doubt, in the eyes.
Blue of medium shade are the most
itrikingly beautiful. But the eyes do
not alone constitute beauty. There are
the hair, nose, mouth and complexion
to take into account. The hair should
be dark, the nose aquiline and the
mouth small and with rosy lips, and the
complexion should be of rosy tint.
There should also be set of pearly
teeth to show when you laugh, and Il
pair of dimples when you smile. This,
without doubt, constitutes feminine
beauty.

Statistics of Murder Committed In the
United States.
A gentleman who was seated in the
lobby of the Girard house, says the
Philadelphia Record, chatting with an
official from the coroner's office, said;
81 saw an article in leading English
weekly the other day which should be
of interest to you, and so jotted dowr
some of its figures, which are as grew.
some as any statistics ever came across.
The article was headed: "A Murderers
Paradise and had been written by a
man who, for two years, had made q
study Of the murder statistics of this
country.
According to him there were 1890
murders committed in the United States
during 1890 and 5000 during 1891, a sub
stantial increase of l,018. He has
didided the murders committed during
the two years under various heads.
Quarrels, he said, were responsible fol
2,1s4 murders in 1890 and 2,s2O in 1891,
and by quarrels he did not mean
drunken brawls. Murders which tool,
place while the murderer was under the
influence of liquor numbered 4s6 in 1890
and SIT in 1891, and it was pointed out
that the so-called prohibition cities fur
nished more murders in proportion tc
their populations than did the non-pro
hibition places. Murders committed by
unknown persons for unknown reasons
footed up 464 and $50. The infanticide
cases of the two years numbered 1877 anc
20s, and the persons killed while resist
ing arrest, 149 and 1872, Insane persons

the two years. In 1890 there were 10s
executions and the number last yeal
