A Girls, High school in Iceland.

A year ago the first high school for
girls was opened in Reikiavik, Iceland,
details of which are just now becoming
known, so slow is communication with
this isolated country. The school was
started with fifteen girls, as many more
being refused from want of funds. The
curriculum is peculiar, embracing tai
loring, slojd whatever that may be),
Icelandic language and literature, Eng
fish, Danish, arithmetic, history, geog-
raphy, singing and writing. Cooking is
also taught. The tailoring department
is most important, but as there are no
tailors in Iceland, except a few in Reiki-
avik, women have to make the mems
clothes as well as their own. The high
school is perforce boarding school, as
the pupils come from distances taking
from three to fourteen days travel

house at Paris, the French journalist
Victor Noir, who, together with M.
de Fonvielle, had called for the purpose
of making the final arrangements Tor a

His mother was the daughter Of a

Prince Peter Bonaparte for the first
time in 1858, when not only she, but
also her sister Eliza became attached to

the war of 1870 Prince Petor lost the al

The lawsuit now in progress in the
French courts against Eclaireur news
paper of Nice for having denounced the
reigning prince of Monaco's presence at
the Columbian fetes of Genoa as an in
suit both to the Italian king and to the
French government, and the recent fail
ure of NJ. Edmond Blanc to get him
self elected to the chamber of deputies
at Paris, may serve to attract public at
tention for moment to these two per-
sonages, who, together with Prince
Constantine Radziwill and the so-called
Prince Roland Bonaparte, who is neither
''prince" nor ''Bonaparte,' own, control
and run the great gambling hell at
Monte Carlo. The latter has often been
portrayed in print, elaborate and de-
tailed descriptions have been published
of the manner in which the enterprise
is managed, as well as of the huge
profits which it yields every year. But

been led to believe by the corrupt
French press, which receives annually
close upon million of francs in bribes
from Monte Carlo Societe DIES Jeux,
is that M. Edmond Blanc is the munifi
cent mayor of La Celle st. Cloud and the
most enlightened patrons of the turf;

distinguished savant and an authentic

CURED the decoration by purchase,
since all the payments to M. Wilson for

law. M. Grevy, from the presidency of

Prince Constantine Radziwill, part
proprietor of the Monte Carlo establish

Blanc, owes his entire fortune to his
marriage with Nile. Sophie Blanc. OF
illustrious Russian descent-his family
possesses the titular dukedom of Olika
Nieswiez. Dubinsli and Birze-he is
nevertheless the least respectable
and least respected of the four-part pro-
prietors of the gambling establishment.
The younger son of an impoverished
branch of his family, he lived the life of
81 disreputable adventurer until his
marriage, dependent for living, like
Prado and Pranzini, upon the bounties
of the Trailer portion of the fair sex.
His means of livelihood, indeed, APP
peared so very questionable to the po-
lice authorities of Brussels, where he
resided for time prior to his marriage,

firmly, invited to take his departure

the assistance of her friend. the wine
merchant, and in April, 1874, she finally
succeeded in escaping from England
and in making her way to France.
Finding, however, that the British po-
lice were about to demand her extra
dition, she appealed for assistance to
lady who was renowned for her devo-
ton to the imperialist cause, and who,
for the sake of the name of Bonaparte,
advanced the $1,000 which were needed
to stop the prosecution and to effect
compromise with the persons who had
been defrauded. From that time forth
both Princess Justine and har two
children, Roland and Jeanne, lived at
Paris upon the charity of benevolent
people, especially of those belonging to
the Bonapartist cause. It was pre-
carious livelihood, however, at the best,
and by degrees everything that the lit

the pawnshop. In the autumn of 1877

woman's share in the worlds Progress.

Woman's Share in the Worlds Progress.
One Of the purposes of the woman's
share in the Columbian fair, and perhaps
not the least important, is that the ex-
hibits shall demonstrate that women
have had through the ages greater orig
inality and inventiveness than they have
been accredited with. Among the primi-
tive pupils women were the originators,
it is claimed, of industrial arts, and it
was only after they became lucrative
that men usurped them. Women de-
vised the curing and dressing of game
and the fashioning of the skins of ami
mails into garments. Women invented
the needle, the shuttle, the weaving of
textiles. She was the first potter, and
she originated basket making.
There will be shown as illustration of
the influence of women during MEDIEVAL
times a copy of the old Bayeux tapestry
made by Matilda of Flanders and her
maidens, which is the best and most au-
thentic history of the conquest of Eng
land by her husband, William the Con-
queror; reproduction Of the statues Of
Salina Won Steinbach, daughter and as
sistant of the architect of Strasburg
cathedral. To her is ascribed the change
from the stiff medieval angles to the
graceful flowing lines that followed, and
of the remarkable book prepared in the
Twelfth century by the Abbess of Her
rad, which contained compendium of
all the knowledge of the day, illustrated
by illuminations. and considered by
many to be the origin of the modern en-
cyclopedia.
There will be records, too, of the wo-
men who were professors in the early
Italian universities, and many other
things of interest illustrative of woman's
early prowess, and proving that the
present uprising in the ranks is only the
natural force of the stream seeking its
level, and not at all a new departure

Radziwill is an honored member OF the
illustrious Russian family of that name,
and that the prince of Monaco will re-
reason of the services which he has rem
dered to science. We are assured, more
over, that all four men accept with the
utmost reluctance the income accruing
to each from the Societe des Jeux; that
they are, SO to speak, the victims of
circumstances over which they have no
control, and that they endeavor to
atone in a measure for the ignoble
source of their wealth by charity prac-
ticed on scale proportionate to their
fortune.
The principal and managing partner
of the concern is M. Edmond Blanc,
chevalier of the Legion of Honor,
mayor of La Celle st. Cloud and the
proprietor of one of the principal racing
stables of France. His wife, still a
beautiful woman, being mayoress, is at

from Belgium. 1t is hardly necessary
for me to add that Prince Constantine,
and, of course, his wife as well, are
completely ostracised by all the best
Partisan society, as well by the foreign
diplomatic corps, and Notwithstanding
his Russian birth and titles, neither
Prince nor yet Princess Constantine
Radziweu have ever yet been permit
ted to set their foot inside the Russian
embassy at Paris. In the same manner
the court and society of Berlin, Vienna,
st. Petersburg, and indeed, Of every
capital of Europe, have closed their
doors against them.
Prince Roland Bonaparte, the third
member of the firm which owns the
Monte Carlo rambling establishment,
is, like his brother-in-law, Prince Radzi-
will, indebted to his union with Edmond
Blanc's sister, Marie, for his present
affluence, since at the time of his mar
riage he was absolutely penniless. I'm
like Prince Radziwill. however, he pos
sesses neither illustrious birth and an
cestry, nor yet authentic rank. For, as
I stated above, he is neither entitled to
assume the title of prince nor the name
of Bonaparte. His mother was not
married to his father at the time of his
birth, which took place at Paris in 1858.
For notwithstanding the fact THAT the
ordinarily correct Almanach de Gotha
gives the date of their union as March
%, 1865, the marriage was really cele-
brated for the first time on the 30tsl OF
December, 1871, at the French legation
at Brussels
Roland's father was Prince Peter
Bonaparte, who was famed as being the
most disreputable member of Napoleon
ILLS family. In his younger days
he had been obliged to fee from Italy
in consequence of his murder of game
keeper who had attempted to prevent
him from poaching on private property.

A certain hotel keeper in London de-
cided not to charge his customers for
attendance, but he found that many of
them objected to the omission, and ac-
cordingly there appeared the charge of
eighteen pence day in each bill. That
eighteen pence produced $4,000 a year.

A perfectly irrelevant story comes to mind
here. Do you know that in Madeira once they

for tho national poet to compose q national
anthem. and then was put DOWN. All that is
left OF the revolt now Is tho song that you hear
