TREASURES OF THE EARTH.

The London News tells Of fete
in celebration OF the twenty-fifth
anniversary OF the date when a Ger
man servant girl" entered the
service OF q family in Berlin. In ac-
Acknowledgement of her faithful and
unremitting service members OF the
family came even from distance,
and brought her costly and beautiful
gifts. The Boston Herald, telling
the story, boots at it, calls it fairy
tale, says that the girls name will
soon be known throughout Christen-
dom, and adds that it believes she is
already seeking another place. We
think that the Boston Herald Is real
mean; but what it says is such nom
sense that nobody need care.
Twenty-Five years Of faithful service
is commendable, but not exceedingly
rare. We are sure that in Boston
there are many cases Of it, just as in
this part Of the country there are
instances Of twenty-five and thirty
years service. A servant accepts a
place aware of the work and the
wages. Her staying depends, then
very largely upon the kindness and
common humanity shown her, upon
the employers remembrance that
servant is not "a slave, but, in the
good old fashioned parlance, 1.-the
help" 1t is no great art to keep a
servant. Why should she not pre-
fer to stay in single family? Is
her heart so dead that she can feel
no interest in those she serves, no
affection, finally, Of certain sort
sufficient to make her prefer that
known family to total strangers?
We know Of households where long
service has given rise to mutual
fondness between employed and en-
ployer; OF one New England family
in which, on the death Of a servant,
she was buried in the family lot.
When one servant after another
leaves a house, with only short SER
vice, it is almost always safe guess
that large portion OF the fault is
the employers. The gala occasion
in Berlin should have been time of
mutual congratulation. The long
consideration on the part OF the
family was quite as noteworthy and
commendable as the faithfulness Of
the servant Rochester Post Ex-

Central Asian Deserts.

Mr.. w. Woodville Rockhill de-
scribes in an entertaining style, in
the Century, his attempt to cross
Tibet. His picture OF a portion Of
the country he traversed is not allur-
ing. Life in Central Asian deserts
is rough indeed, he says. Nature is
without attraction Of any kind; it is
bleak and repelling; never tree is
seen, and scarcely a flower, except
for a month or two in the year, Prob
ably the Artic regions alone offer a
coarse grass, or bare, gravel-strewn
ground OF reddish tinge. In the
most favored valleys, and near some
brackish lakelet, are occasionally
seen punches Of long black-haired
yaks, antelopes, or wild asses. A
stray hare or wolf runs across the
trail sheldrake or eagle flies slowly
off at ones approach. Were it not
for the wild yaks, travel across this
great plateau would be impossible,
for dry yak-dung is the only fuel to
be found. Should murrain destroy
the yass, as recently it destroyed the
lyre-horned antelope, travelling ex-
cept along two frequented trails,
would become unfeasible. Violent
winds sweep the country daily, car
rying va them dense clouds of al
GaliLD dust, which parch and crack
the skin and blind the eyes. When
it j not blowing, it is showing, hail
ing or raining. Bogs, marshes, and
sa Idy wastes, cut at short distances
by low raSses of mountains rarely
rising above the line Of perpetual
snow (though, be it remembered, the
lowest valleys are at a greater eleva-
tion above the sea than Mont Blanc),
are the characteristics Of the bleak
country which we had to cross before
the inhabited region Of Tibet could
be reached.

Digestive Action 81 Vinegar.

A health writer, discussing the
effects of vinegar on digestion. says:
1.-THE microscopists have discovered
that the eels OF vinegar sometimes
take up their abode in the alimentary
canal as parasites, and become
source Of irritation and disturbance
to the digestive organs, And now,
according TO Virchow's archives, they
have been investigating the influence
OF acids upon salivary digestion, or
the conversion Of starch into sugar,
ansa<he fact has appeared that acetic
acid, connected with tartaric and
oxalic acids, very materially hinders
this portion Of the digestive process.
- 1t is worthy Of note, as being in
line of scientific progress, that many
Of the most skillful chefs are substi-
tuting, in their culinary processes,

Ing at once the wriggling eels and
the misunderstanding acid.-[New

A NEW BRANCH OF EDUCATION.

There is II boarding-school in New
York, where the girls are taught
to be elegant rs they are taught cube
root or rhetoric. One special teacher,
who receives Sl5 an hour for her re-
fined influence, dresses beautifully,
comes in n coupe and pays n formal
visit. She leads the conversation,
discussing all the current topics Of
interest to polite people, and frown-
ing down mistakes and bad taste.
Everything she says and does, every
gesture and everything she wears is
said or done or worn to teach dis
tinguished manners" When she
goes home she writes letters to the
girls and the teachers, containing
compliments and criticism, respect
lively. During the school year each
girl is this elegant lady's guest at
breakfast, dinner or the theater.-

BELvA LoCKwooD's HAT.

Attending the session Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States on
Monday, writes n correspondent from
Washington, was lady who differed
from the other ladies in the chamber
for two things; First, she was seated
within the space reserved for the
members of the bar; second, she
wore no bonnet or hat. The lady
was Mrs. Belva Lockwood, and she
was waiting with her attorney, ex-
Chief Justice Christian, Of the Nir-
ginia Court of Appeals, for the an
nouncement Of the ruling of the
Supreme Court upon her motion for
n writ of mandamus upon the Nir-
ginia court, TO show cause why il
should not permit her to practice nj
its bar. She had made the applica-
tion, and it had been refused. As
she sat thus, without headgear OF
any kind, some Of the older practi-
TONERS were reminded OF an incident
that occurred when Mrs. Lockwood
was admitted to practice before the
Court OF Claims. The late Judge
Drake was Chief Justice OF the court

willingness of the Court to admit the

The Sweet Tooth.

In most cases, then, where we find
considerable quantities of sugar con-
spicuously massed in any part Of a
plant organism, the sweet juice is
placed there on purpose to be eaten.
In comparatively small masses, it is
stored in flowers or elsewhere for the
use Of insects. In larger amounts,
in fruits for the use OF birds and
mammals. And it is these conspicu-
Gus storehouses Of native sugar that
man in the first instance began to
seize upon for his own purposes.
Himself n descendant of the fruit
eating monkeys, he has always re-
mained to great extent fruit
eater.
In the tropics, to this day, he sub
sists largely upon plantains, bananas,
mangoes, breadfruit and cocoanuts,
though he also depends to no small de-
gree upon subterranean storehouses
Of starch or sugar, such as yams and
sweet potatoes. In temperate cli-
mates, on the other hand, he derives
his food more from seeds than from
fruits; wheat, rye, maize, barley,
oats, rice, and millets form the staple
of his diet, while his subterranean
food, the potato, is starchy, not
sugary, Accordingly, his inherited
sweet tooth feels the need for sugar
"A need which he has endeavored
from all time to satisfy, especially in
youth, with dried fruits, figs, raisins,
and other like devices.-[The Corn
