under the instruction of those who know
all about it, and there is no earthly rea-
son why there should not be education
al establishments where young women
can be instructed in the duties that they
are expected to perform.
In the matter of bread, for instance,
tho possibilities of the staff of life in
breeding domestic strife are innumer-
able. A young wife, ignorant OF the
mysteries of bread manufacture, may
make UP her mind to married life OF
misery, for the reason that no husband,
no matter how devoted he may believe
himself, can retain his devotion for
any considerable length of time IL reg
ularly furnished with heavy bread. He
may try. For time he may succeed.
Morning after morning he may worry
down the soggy mass in the hope that
nature will be good to him and by the
kindly operations of her mysterious Ia
boratory remedy the deficiencies of his
wife's knowledge. Nature, thus ad-
jured. falls to and does the best she
can, but sooner or later, generally the
former, throws up the job In despair,
and admonishes him that there must be
a change. Often he does not know
what rs the matter with him. He be-
comes cross, surly; is guilty of that
most grievous and unforgivable of all
offenses in married life, talking back"
to his wife, and she, poor thing, thinks
he has ceased to love her, and goes to
her room and cries about the change,
when 1t Is only in accordance with the
order of nature. She thinks his love Is
vanishing, when, in fact, It is only his
liver out Of order, and prompt change of
diet would soon speedily remove every
cioud from the domestic horizon and
make the twain an harmonious one in
stead OF snappish and discordant two.
Blessed, therefore, forever blessed,
be the memory of him or her, as the
case nay be, who invented housekeep-
ing and cooking schools; that is, OF
curse, provided they teach people to
houseixecp and cook; IL otherwise, they

fidIng men to yield gracefully to the

establishment where housekeeping and
cooking are taught, she must neces.

1t is an enormous feeder. The nat
uralist Tschudi mentions the case OF
one which ate eighteen pounds In one
day and the next day appeared to have
as big an appetite as If it had not eaten
for weeks. COndors often eat so heav-
lily that they cannot fly, and then If at
tackled they disgorge their food in order
to be able to get away.

height of 10000 or $4,000 feet above
the sea, In the Andes Mountains. They
make no nests, laying their eggs on
the bare rocks.
They usually live In little companies.
Together they descend to the plains for
food, and then return to their mountain
stronghOlds.
The condor is said to soar to height
of six miles above the level of the sea,
or six times the ordinary height Of the
clouds. This is a higher fight than that
Of any other bird.

A Clever Advertisement.

a physician of Montpelier was in the
habit of employing very ingenious ar
tifice. When he came to town where
he was not known, he pretended to have
lost his dog, and ordered the public cricr
to offer, with beat of drum, reward Of
twenty-five louis to whomever should
bring 1t to him. The crier took care TO
mention all the titles and academic
honors Of the doctor, as well rs his place
Of residence. He soon became the talk
OF the town. "Do you know" says one,
"that a famous physician has come
here, a very clever fellow? He must
he very rich, for he offers twenty-five
,ouis for finding his dog" The dog was
not found, but patients were.

Whenever this happened his master
called him up, gave him n lecture, and

One day. however, Jack was playing
about the paint-shop all alone. Sud

The universally of education at the
present day and the unprecedented
number of academies, colleges and uni
versltics have led to some curious re-
suits, not the least singular among the
number being the fact that so general
is the respect for mental training, APP
parently no matter of what nature or
degree of efficiency, that not few
people have the idea that q
little knowledge, If acquired by the reg
uiation method, is preferable to no end
of learning picked up helter-skelter; or,
In other words, 1t is better to be a
blockhead by rule than wise man by
hap-hazard. This opinion once thor
oughly understood, fully accounts for
the immense number of institutions
which propose to teach anything that
the-human mind is capable of grasping.

A Romantic Murder and Suicide in
Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, May l0.-A ter
rible tragedy was enacted on the
sidewalk in front of No. SO North
Seventh street, this morning in the
presence OF throng Of persons, by
August Topper, manufacturer Of
novelties, aged SO years. He shot
Clara Herbold, alias Schmidt, aged
26 years, twice and then sent bull
let through his temple, dying al
most instantly. The girl was re-
moved to a hospital where she
died half an hour later. The MUIR
der and suicide was due to love.
Topper was married man, though
he was desperately in love with
the Herbold girl. His advances
were coldly received. The girl
came from Germany about a year
ago and went to live with the Tep-
per family as servant. Tepper's
attentions became so annoying to
her that she left his place about a
month ago. Tepper's attentions to
the girl did not cease and the latter
part OF last week she went before a
magistrate and swore out war
rant for his arrest, but Topper con-
tinued to annoy her.
Miss Herbold left her room this
morning to go for some work which
she was to take to her home. On
her way back Topper met her and
shot her. Tepper's body was taken
to his former home, but his wife
refused to receive it and it was
taken tn the morpue.

A CUBAN BATTLE.
Insurgents Are Reported to Have
Won a Great Victory.

Insurgents Are Reported to Have
Won a Great Victory.
TAMPA, Fla, May S.-Passengers
arriving on the plant steamer Mas
cote, say the condition OF things is
encouraging to the Cuban insur-
gents. 1t is declared that CANA
quay has been invaded by Gomez
and he, with 5000 insurgents, be.
seiged Guaymaro Monday. There
are about 10000 Spaniards in
the city, and so the passengers
say, after the fighting became
disastrous for the besieged regi-
ment, Cadiz arrived attacking the
Cubans in the rear. Gomez quickly
recovered from the first onslaught
and while the small forces kept up
a conflict with the forces in the
city, his main body faced the new
enemy. The fighting was very
fierce, but it is asserted, the strate-
CIV OF Gomez and the valor Of the
Insurgents resulted in their victory.
The regiment OF Cadiz, it is said,
was routed and cut to pieces and
the city was taken and is now in
the possession Of the insurgents.
The Cuban loss in killed and
wounded is put at 700, while 1T is
asserted the Spanish loss in killed
and wounded is 5000.
Small pox and yellow fever are
said to be very prevalent. Campos
is said to be greatly displeased
with the situation and the Cuban
insurgent leaders are hopeful for
another crisis in the cabinet which
will require Campos to return.
