"0UR MARGARET. -
Pathetic Little Story Told of New
Orleans Monument.

In the city of New Orleans there are
many monuments erected to the famous
statesmen and soldiers Of the South
But there is one which has more pa
thetic and deeper significance than any
of these. 1t stands on Prytania street
in the midst of beds Of flowers and sur
rounded by stately dwellings and groves
of orange and palmetto. 1t is the figure
of a stout woman. who is seated, hold
ing a child, on which she looks down. her
hOmely face illumined with a noble be-
nightly and tender love.
THAT is our Margaret" the stranger
is told when he asks what it means.
All New Orleans knows Our Mar
garet."
She was poor woman. who earned
her living by making bread. which she
sold from little shop; a thrifty. ener,
getic business woman. whose heart was
full Of love for children. Before the
counter was always to be found some
ragged urchin who would be sent away
with full hands and a happy face.
AS Margaret prOSpered, and her bake
shop enlarged into a cracker factory, she
had her lovers. like other women. But
she turned Il deaf ear to them all. The
only man she would have married was
dead. and her heart was full of love
for children. for the orphans and the poor
little outcastS more Wretched than or

she had.
SO wise. so tender and benignant was
she iii her care for them that this poor,
illiteratc woman. who was without
friends. became Our Margaret to the
people Of New Orleans. and a mother to
all the poor babies of the great city.
When she died other charitable women

SINGING SANDS OF ARABIA.
Singular Natural Phenomena that
Are the Wonder of Travellers,

The singing sands Of Arabia arc
stretches Of sand, sometimes on a hill
side of the interior, which. when moved
produce a distinct musical note Walk
ing through them, stirring them with a
stick, or in any way agitating their par
ticles will cause the sound, which con-
tinues some SECONDS. Scientific men have
been quite at loss to account for so
singular a phenomenon and have sug-
gested many wild explanations The
problem is complicated by several Curl
Gus circumstances in connection with
fLe sand. 1t has been ascertained, for
instance, that if carried away in bags
the sand loses its musical power, but re-
tains it if transported in glass vessels.
Wetting. the sand while in an artificial
receptacle destroys its power of produc-
ing tone, but rain has no such effect.
since as soon as the sand is dry it is as
sonorous as before. The singing sand is
found in no less than twenty places
on tie eastern coast of the United States
and in at least two on the Pacific.

THE USE OF PUBLIC GARDENS.
They Would Tend to Decrease the In
mates of the Reformatories.

mates of the Reformatories.
Children often become criminals be-
cause they have no outlet for doing what
they like and what is proper for them to
do. All children love to work in gar
Gens; and if there were public gardens
where children could voluntarily work If
they wanted to there would be no occa-
sion to fill the refGrmatories to half their
present extent.
None know better than those who have
interested themselves in reformatories
what are their weak points. However
well treated, the inmates feel as prisoners,
and there is the difficulty of placing them
for start in the world when the refor-
matory term expires-a difficulty growing
more serious every day. Aside from this
is the enormous tax on the community in
the way Of private benevolence or public
charges. None would welcome an i'm
proved method of lessening these pres
sures more than reformatory managers
Public gardens, as suggested, would
help to some extent-but they have not
been found practicable in large cities
from whence most of the population of
the reformatories come. - Meehan's

Printed Paper is Revered.

It is considered sacrilegious act to
tread on piece of printed paper in
China. Recptacles for waste paper are
on every street corner. 1t is merito-
rious act to gather the sacred characters
and save them from dissertation. The
love of learning is so great that many
learn to read from the fowery Oriental
signs over the shop fronts. 1t is said
that if all the classics were destroyed
the knowledge of these scriptures is so
diffused that there are 100000 men i'm
