INV Nails Are sick-I DIE"

Burah, one of the famous company OF
Amazons exhibiting at the Crystal pal
ace, has died at the Norwood Cottage
hospital. Burah was taken i'll at the
palace with an affection of the lungs
and upon her case becoming critical she
was at once removed to the Cottage hos
pital. Burah upon being admitted to
the ward refused to lie on the bed and
persisted in lying on the floor, notwith-
standing the kind persuasion OF the
doctor and nurse. Her nature predomi-
mated, so that the nurse placed the mat
tress upon the floor.
After being in the hospital "a hours,
Burah appeared to revive wonderfully,
and in asking nurse for the doctor she
said, Medicine man good" and, to use
the nurses own words, Burah bore heI
acute suffering with the greatest pa
tience and was an example TO many Eng
Hsh people. Later, her case became less
hopeful, and she overheard the nurse say
''Burah is weaker, and their black pa
tent quickly answered;
Yes, Tze weaker, and looking very
earnestly in the face of the nurse Burial
held up her hands and drew the nurses
attention to her finger nails, which wer'
a pure white. Deceased said, IN!
nails are sick. die; die" and the BIZ
tears rolled down her cheeks. Burial
gradually got worse and passed away

Early Domestic Education.

Let domestic education commence from
the cradle. and then you won't hear so
,uch about the uselessness OF the girl OF
this period. Let the little girl not as
tall as the table wipe the knives, forks
and spoons and dust few chairs. On
baking days let her make actual biscuit
and bake them in a real oven. W hen
school days begin, there will be time for
domestic employment. 1t is better to
insist upon no study at home, and then
the light household tasks will benefit
and not injure.
As girls grow older let them be given
more important work. Promote them
from time to time to the charge of some
department. Change works till they
have gone the rounds. During the sum
,ner vacation trust the whole admins
tration of the household for time &c
