 The Author Of aEVeIIna.s

Miss Burney, or Mme D'Arblay, re- tains place in literature partly by her novels, partly by her exceedingly inter esting diary. Nor must it be forgotten that, although Evelina" appeared SC long ago as 1778, there are many people still living who were young men and women when she died She has been praised by Macaulay for describing real life with broad, comic humor, yet in language that is never inconsistent with rigid morality or even with virgin delicacy," and it is true that "Evelina' '' possesses unique interest as a description of contemporary manners and is free from unnecessary coarseness. It is also true that the author has a keen eye for the ridiculous and a considerable gift of satire, Nevertheless Mime. D'Arblay is not entitled to any high place as novel ist. Her constructive skill is small, and her characters are for the most part what Johnson would have called "hu- morists ''-that Is, they are the incarna- tion of qualities rather than flesh and blood individuals. Moreover, the author herself is humorist. Her ruling pas sion ia morbid craving to be 'genteel. y She has no mercy for vulgarity or the vnl- gar, but she fails to see that her own wor- ship of society conventions is itself vul. gar. And hence one may doubt the pro priety of assigning to her abroad comic humor. ; She was too much of prig to be possessed of humor, which duplicates geniality.
 Still, Mime. D'Arblay claims respect on the specific ground that she did much to purify all important form of litera- tnre, while she has certain additional claim to remembrance from her connee tion with Dr. Johnson. Did not Dr. Johnson kiss her, and has she not record ed, ITO be sure, was little surprised, having no idea of such facetiousness from him ?''-Cornhill Magazine.

Six Hundred Feathered SonEsters In Mich
 igan's Principal Prison.
 Congiets in the Michigan state prison have many more favors than those of almost any other penitentiary in the United States, and it is the belief of the management of the institution that for this reason there are fewer outbreaks or lawlessness than are found elsewhere. Among the faVors granted to them here IS that of keeping and caring for birds. There are fully 600 feathered songsters in Michigan's principal penal institu- tions, all owned and cared for by the eonviets. and as soon as daylight ap- breaches on bright mornings their sweet notes are heard in striking contrast to the natural feelings of their owners.
 Many of the most hardened criminals, from their general appearance and his tory. would not be expected to care for anything of refining nature, yet they tenderly care for and caress their little pets.
 More than three-quarters of the cells in the prison contain one or more cana ries, and they are also found in various shops throughout the institution. Dur ing the day the cages are hung outside the cells to give the birds light and air. but as soon as the convict returns from work at night the cage is taken in- side
 Tho practice has been carried on in tho prison for years, and the officials say that, instead of any detrimental effect being noticeable, the little song sters havo proved benefit, as they not only give tie cells more homelike ap- pearanee, but they also wield decided influence in the way of humanizing the most reckless and hardened criminal.
 Besides beng permitted to keep the birds for the sake of their company and influence, the convicts are also allowed to raise them to sell, and many a dollar is credited 10 the accounts of the prison CTS from this source Of course the con vict handles none of the money realized from the sale of the birds until he iF discharged but it is placed to his credit i'll the prison bank.

WASHING DAY.
How the Family Laundering Is Done In
 Various Countries

How the Family Laundering Is Done In
 Various Countries.
 The hardest worked washerw omen in the world are the Koreans. They have to wash about dozen dresses for their husbands, and, inasmuch as every man wears pantaloons or drawers so baggv that they would come up to his neck, like those of a clown, they have plenty to do The washing is usually done in cold water and often in running streams. The clothes are pounded with paddles until they shine like shirt front fresh from a Chinese laundry.
 The Japanese rip their garments apart for every washing, and they iron their clothes by spreading them on a flat board and leaning this up against the house to dry. The sun takes the wrinkles out of the clothes, and some of them have quite luster The Japa- nese woman does her washing out of doors. Her washtub is not more than six inches high and is about as big round as the average dishpan. She gets the dirt out of the clothes by rubbing ehSAi pCbWtSH H6f uuuQS. Cl0 S0m6- times uses Japanese soap, which is full of grease, and works away in her bare feet.
 The Chinese girls do their washing in much the same way.
 The pretty short haired beauties of Siam wear their gowns when bathing in the river and wash them while talk ing their bath. When they have finish cd, they trot up the steps of their float ing houses, and, wrapping clean sheet round their bodies, they slip off the wet clothes and wiring them out to dry.
 The washing in Egypt is usually done by the men. The Egyptian washerman stands naked on the banks of the Nile and slaps the wet clothes, with noise like the shot of pistol, on the smooth stones at the edge of the running water, and such fellah women as wash pound the dirt out of their clothes in the same way.
 Frenchwomen pound the dirt out with paddles, often skipping the clothes upon stones as the Egyptians do. Pear sons Weekly
