EDUCATION OF THE HlNooo GIRL.


-
Great Care Is Exercised In Training Her
For Housewifery.
Tho greatest care and anxiety of the
Hindoo mother is to bring up her daughter
to home life and make her good house
wife. When girl is z years of age, her
mother teaches her to cook and to clean
the pots. Hindoos have two kinds of
washing. One is the daily washing Of
everyday apparel for the clothes are
changed every morning after bathing
Every Hindoo must bathe before he takes
his meals. Religion requires that no food
DO cooked before the person who cooks it
has bathed. A woman first gives bath
to her children; then she takes bath her
self and thereafter goes to cook The
clothes are changed and washed every day
The little girl washes the smaller clothes
on stone and hangs them for drying
She assists her mother in many small
things; she sweeps the kitchen; she fctchos
the utensils; she cuts and slices the vege-
tables; she pounds and grinds the spices;
She takes out the small pebbles from tho
rice and cleans it in water, and, in short
she does all the petty work, assisting her
mother, II she has an Infant sister or
brother, she feeds 1t and lulls 1t to sleep
in the CRADLE She gathers flowers and
weaves them into wreaths, with which
tho Aindoo women adorn their hnir.
The mother teaches her to sow and to
embroider and to make her toilet, which
is simple. She has no paint on her cheeks
and no hooks and thorns in her hair She
adorns her hair with ornamental flowers
made of gold. These arc fixed on the knot
OF hair A small round mark of red paint
is made on her forehead. The absence of
the mark from the forehead OF n woman
indicates that she is widow, for widows
have not the privilege Of wearing it. BY
the time she is Is sho learns MI things
pertaining to general housekeeping and
cookery. In short, the mother makes her
daughter good housekccpcr before she
goes to 1.-Two with hor husband Chicago

Some years ago u contributor to LIN
termcdiaIie dos Chcrcheurs ct DIES Curleux
recorded that no found some 20 visiting
cards in tho interstico between the franc
and glass of an old mirror where, as in
our own day, they would appear to have
been stuck. They all belonged to people
of tho eighteenth century and were for the
most part pieces of playing cards, on the
backs of some Of which tho names were
written and on those of others rudoly en-
grnycd by an amateur.
b. the end of the last century visiting
cards seem to have come into general use

Miss Banks, the sister Of Sir Joseph Tho
card is coarse ana thick, and the name is
engraved in large italio letters. According
to NJ. Grand Carterot, who gives some
specimens by Rohida and other artists in

voidable II dealing with thicker sub
stances. Being nearly transparent, these
fakes should be lined at the back with
thin white paper, to which they should be
neatly secured with white glue. The lus-
ter of the thin mother Of pearl may not
equal that ofstouter pieces. Still the effect
Is good, and the facility with which 1t
may be used Is great recommendation.
Oriental designs are the simplest in
form and do not require highly polished
surface as q background. The pattern
may be made Of mother OF pearl only,
connected by incised lines traced with a
sharp instrument upon the wood before Ii
Is colored. Tho wood should be well rub
bed down with glass paper, tinted with
some dark stain and polished.
French polishing, although simple in
theory, is sometimes difficult In practice,
especially when the manipulation is not
light and even. A pad composed of linen
and cotton wool should be folded in a pear
shaped form In order that all corners
should be reached by the narrow end.
With 1t the polish should be laid on first
in long strokes backward and forward,

be worked up with little linsecd oil.
When the desired effect has been obtained,
/ the mother of pearl may be neatly glued
on. For italian designs, when tho wood
has been prepared the pattern should be
left unstainod, and tho stalks, with prob
ably some Of the leaves, should receive a
good coating of Chinese white to be sub
sequently outlined and veined with black.
Tho work may be then polished and the
mother of pearl added as before-Phila-

A Curious Addiction.

Near Floyd Springs, Co., lives an old
negro woman. Her husband was slave
who followed the fortunes of his master in
tho late war. Ono night during the war,
while the owls were hooting in an unusual
way, the tidings came that her husband
had been killed. Since that timo, so long
ago, the woman becomes violently insane
whenever she hears an owl in tho dark
ness. Tho fit, however, is momentary.-
