The plan OF number Of well known
ladies Of the city to form an institution
for the education Of present and pro-
spective servant girls in culinary At,
needlework and many other household
accomplishments has been discussed in
servant girl circles during the week,
and judging from . communication 10
ceived from q servant girl, the young
women are not as enthusiastic over the
proposition as many Of the promoters Of
the innovation would desire. The COM
munication, portion Of which Is used
expresses the sentiment Of at least one
household servant. It says: s.They (ths
LADIES' are seeking to solve q problem
that they cannot. They had better use
their money, if they had any to spare, in
their own homes or for some charitable
purpose, where their kindness will be ap-
preciated. They may offer any induce
ment they like, but they will never get
the better class Of girls to co-operata
with them. Any girl who honors and
respects her mother will carry her teach
ings through life, and will not be taught
over again by these ladies. The average
girl can teach them more than they
know think if they would only teach
their daughters that which they propose
to teach us they would reach the desired
end more readily. They set themselves
up to teach the working girls what they
themselves don't know. They had bet
ter put their energies together to invent
machine that will do the work for
them, and thus find means al escaping
the annoyance of the queens of the
kitchen They can then set their little
machine in the corner when its days
work is done. 1t will not demand any
wages at the end of the month, it viii
not want an afternoon out every week
and will not have beaux coming to see
it. 1t will work all day and all night il
you wish it to. We working girls are
called servants, but we are as independ
ent as those we work for. and, it seems
more so, Judging from the outcry Of
those poor unfortunates. I" - st. Loui.

The famous oak under which Tasso is
supposed to have spent the greater part
of the day during the last year of his
life, when he had retired to the convent
of SAINT Onofrio, was blown down, it is
said, during a violent gale recently. The
tree, which all visitors to Rome used to
visit, was kept standing for years by
supports of masonry on all sides. The
trunk, it is reported, will be kept as a
relic in the convent of SAINT Onofrio. =

And Montezuma's festal bread

And lavish as leaves and flowers the sheaves

1t often seems strange that bird will sit
on a roost and sleep all night without fall
ing off, but the explanation is simple. The
tendon of the leg of bird that roosts is SO
arranged that when the leg is bent at the
knee the claws are bound to contract and
thus hold with sort of death grip the
limb around which they are placed.

Achilles and the Tortoise.

There is one paradox which upon its
face appears to be very easy of solu-
tion, but which, after careful study,
does not pan out SO we'll Tho story
was first told upon a gentleman named
Achilles, who was rather prominent in
early political times, and who had Il
reputation as Ill all round athletic. He
could run, and run fast at that One day
no started to catch tortoise, which was
as slow i'll those days as he is today.
Achilles was some distance behind tho
tortoise and set out to capture it. Achil-
les went twice as fast as the slow old
tortoise and gained constantly, but he
never caught it. No matter what prog
ress Achilles made, tho tortoise went
ahead just half us far. BY this time the
distance between the two, had they lived
to this day, would have been infinitesi-
NAL, but yet if Achilles and the tortoise
ran with the proper mathematical pre-
cision there would still DO an interval
between tho two.-St. Louis Globe

piorations-An Abyssinian Adventure.
The woman traveller is becoming ey-
cry year less of novelty. Recently
MIR. and Mrs. Theodore Bent, pair of
interchangeable English "globe trotters,"
started for south Arabia to continue the
explorations they have been making in
various countries. They began their
work in 1884 by digging along the
shores of Greece. The next year they
went through the 90 Cyclades isles and
carried good many objects back to
the British museum. During Ecr first
visit to Greece Mrs. Bent was unac
quainted with the language, and the
people pronounced her nice, very nice
but dumb. Three years later she re-
visited them, and, much to their sur
prise, conversed fluently. In 1885 they
visited Thasos, an Egyptian island, and
the next year sailed along the coast of
Lycia. In 1880, wishing to 20 still
farther afield, they started for Bahrein,
on tho Persian gulf, thence going across
Persia and over the Caucasus, attended
by n special escort from the shah.
On all these expeditions Mrs. Bent
"roughed it, like the rest. A tent was
her only shelter, and she slept in a ham
mock. The scarcity Of water was the
greatest privation, for in some places
the supply had to be so carefully hus-
banded that baths were an impossible
luxury, and even tea was sometimes
impracticable.
The most dangerous expedition made
by MIR. and Mrs. Bent was to Mashona
land. They started in January, 1891,
reached the ruins of Zimbabwe in June
and retraced their steps through path
less country via Beira, reaching Eng
land in January, 1893. They immedi-
atcly returned to Abyssinia, where the
natives became so fond of them that
they would not allow them to leave.
This was an uncomfortable sort of pop
ularity, and after tho travellers had
been twice defeated in attempts to get
away the situation became decidedly
unpleasant
Hearing that troops were pouring in
and that there was a prospect of seri-
Gus lighting, Mr.. Bent said that they
must make strong effort to escape.
Mrs. Bent is an ardent photographer
and was ut the time engaged in develop
Ing somo negatives she had made of the
Abyssinian women around her. She
finished her photographs first, and then,
watching for favorable opportunity,
tho little party mounted mules, and as
sisted by an Italian officer and 400 SOL
diers who had been sent to rescue them
managed to escape from their devoted
Abyssinian friends.
Mrs. Bent brought away the negatives
she had persisted in finishing, and these
show the costume of an Abyssinian
woman to consist of two garments-a
pair of trousers fitting tightly around
the ankles, and n long, loose overdress
lavishly worked round the neck and
down the tapering sleeves, which are
80 tiny at the ends that one can hardly
imagine how woman's hand could
get through the cuffs.-New York Sun.
