SERVANTS IN NORWAY.

American women may be interested to learn how the servant girl problem Is disposed of in Norway, according to the account of an American woman who has been travelling in that country. Writing to the Woman's Home Journay she says:
 The employment system here Is vastly. dffferent-from any other coun- try, inasmuch as servants are universal ly engaged by the half year, rather than by the week or month. certain rate of wages decided upon the contract is equally binding upon mistress and maid and unless for some fragrant and unbearable fault, without release until the expiration of six months. This arrangement affords the servant an op- portunity to demonstrate her ability and worth after becoming fully ac- quainted with the work and ways of the household. The mistress can in this time have opportunity to test by careful judieious training whether the girl can be brought up to a reasonable standard of excellence.
 The day on which the semi-annual change of service occurs is known as Wandering Monday and Is time of domestic revolution.
 a "Custom compels both mistress and mdlQ LO SifS LHIS0 HlohthS hShASO 1T N change Is contemplated, and without a recommendation from the last place a servant cannot secure another sttua- tion in Norway. Wages are paid quarterly. or by the half year, accord ing to agreement. The usual corps of servants employed by the welI-to-do Norwegian families includes cook, chambermaid, nurse and errand boy. On occasions persons are called in to assist in extra work

 BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.

She says that the life of a blind person is not the great misery that 1t is general ly thought by seeing people, and 1t is show that even blind people may have A happy time of 1t. Here is a remark of Mrs. Osborn's that should not pass upnotieed, says The Philadelphia Record: 4
 If men knew what ideal wives blind girls made the blind girls would soon be all taken. I can cook, sew, darn, and do almost anything except to ven- ture far from the house.

intelligent Little Ones Who Work
Hard to Amuse.
At one Of the principal theaters of
Toxic the plays are played entirely by
children who are all, we are sure,
perfectly well-ftted for their arduous
roles. All these little people are be-
tween the ages of eight and thirteen,
and they go through their parts, often
of the most tragic character, with an
intelligence and precision which is
quite marvellous. A great deal of the
public dancing is done by children
also, who, at very tender age, are
compelled to go through most
severe training, including the per
formances of gymnastics, for acquir
ing suppleness and agility, whilst
their little fingers have to be artifi
cially hardened to enable them to play
the tambourine. They are allowed
but little sleep, and have early to ge
accustomed to extremes of tempera
ture. Indeed, the lot of the Japanese
child actor is not altogether an envi
able one, it is to be feared.

Historic Bolton castie.

There is now standing only one
stronghold in England in which Mary
queen of Scots was imprisoned, and
that is Bolton castle. 1t was built
by the Lord Scrope who was lord
chancellor in 1879. 1t was at Bolton
castle that the duke of Norfolk, then
head of the Roman catholic party, as
is now the present duke of Norfolk,
made the proposal of marriage to
Mary by which he hoped not only
to serve the faith but to make him
self king. Instead of bringing him to
the throne it brought him to the
scaffold.

The whale may claim to have a
skin thicker than any other animal
It has skin nowhere less than sew
eraI inches in thickness. The distinc'
ton of being the thickest skinned
auadruped belongs to the Indian
rhinoceros, whose hide has knotty
or graduated surface, and is so i'm
penetrable as to resist the claws OF
the lion or tiger, and the sword OF
bullet from old-fashioned smooth-bore
muskets. So stiff and hard is this
skin that were it not divided by

ed in it's armor could scarcely move
The skin of the hippopotamus runs
that of the rhinoceros very closely as
regards thickness.

Pathos and humor are combined in
a singular story from Russia, relat.
ing to a poor peasant woman living
near Vileika. who was left absolutely
destitute with six children to sup.
port At last luminous idea struck
her. She suggested to the neighbor
ing poultry farmers that she should
relieve them from the trouble and
expense of using incubators for hatch.
ing chickens and turkeys.
They agreed, and the eggs, care
fully secured from injury in wooden
cases, and packed in wool, were plac.
ed in the childrens cots. which were
constantly occupied, day and night,
by the six little ones in turn during
the three weeks required for incu-
baton.
AS each of the cots contained 400
eggs-200 on each side-the human
incubators succeeded in Matching
1,200 eggs at a time, for which they
received l cent an egg, or s12. Their
earnings, therefore, for lying in bed
for twenty-one days amounted to ex
actly 81 a week, a sum far exceeding
