I would havo girls Instructed in
hygiene, tho properties of food, tho
diet proper to infants, ami, as far as
possible in all tho practical branches
which have the most direct bearing
upon the life they are to lead It Is of
mall consequence whether they know
decimal fraction and tho boundaries
or population of China, but it 1 ol
the utmost Importance that they
should not waste the hurd-carncd
money of their future husbands by an
unintelligent household regime, and It
is also of much importance that they
know how lo take care of their chil
dren, hmv In escape avoidable disease
by a rational diet and regard for sani
tary laws. I doubt If any one rcalUc
the enormous waste of life and health
which tho ignorance of mothers en
tails upon society. A young mother,
uninstruct 'd in the subject mentioned,
is bound l,i experiment ruinously with
her own health and tlutt ot her chil
dren, and ijiilii experience at the cost
of untold tear, and suffering.
Witnessing this common tragedy, I
have not Iveen able to restrain the re
flection that we arc lamentably failing
in our duty to our girls, both rich mid
poor. We give them ornamented ao
eoniplishments, and teach them lo
blush at the thought of the state for
Which God has destined them, instead
of arming them with useful knowledge
which would enable them lo ce intel
lifpnth with the conditions tlu y will

doubled, the benoftt accruing to tNe
state from this kind of euuc.it nn would
be many times multiplied. Instruc
tion in the chemistry of cooking alone
very simple and fascinating subject
would save the community, in the
aggregate, ton times tho amount of the
increased taxation; skill in the making
of simple garments would save another
item scarcely less considerable. The
poor are wasteful from Ignorance, and
their ignorance In all practical subject

handling a pick and shovel for a man
who had contract-, for grading oil-well

MASCULINE JEWELRY.

"The fnslilon of wearing jewelry
mining men Is growing to higher points
than it reached even in 1H8 1. It was
then, you know, the practice reached
high-water marl;. It attracted a good
deal of attention at tho time, as prior
to that the jewelry of men had been
notable mainly by reason of its ub
Bouce. Tho dudes, who suppressed
wutch-chulns, scarf-pin and the like,
allowed themselves full liberty in the
matter of lliiger-rliigs, unci from this
the general run of clubmen took their
cues. Many a iiismonauio man wore
flvo or six rings oa his fingers, The
',1-eat design then was the snake-ring,
and alter that w hat wa known as the
glove-ring. Tho latter consisted of a
heavy band of gold, usually square in
design, in which were set a diamond
with a ruby or sapphire on either side
of it. The ston 's were set well down
in the gold mid were perfectly Hush
w ith the top, so that a man could pull
a glove on over the ring without dilU
oulty. Perhaps the greatest success which
was ranched then vas when the brace
let appeared us a masculine adornment.
Tin' natural result of nil this finery
was that tho smaller clerks and cheap
Johns of the town foi'owed the suit of
their leaders, and the market wus

the only one which lias a staple place

do men return to it after they have

ANIMALS IN CHINA.
John Warships All Hosts ml Burden a
aacred I rMlint
The Chinamen regard the beast of
burden as sacred animals because they
occupy the position of men In the labor
market. To eat the meal Oi an ox is
deemed sinful, even though these ani
mals should happun to die of old age or
overwork. Tho carcasse are either
tola or given away to tho poor, so that
their 0WMT1 might not oe tholr doe
cration by personally devouring them.
Tho mules and the jackas. a well as
ui intfeiiur.ilile cumiianioas or
tbefarraer. They usually live in the
same building with their masters, but
in a separate apartment which is ape
dally devoted to them.
By long association with these ani
mals their owner can rosily under
stand their animal language. Thu
the simple pawing of the hoof moans
"hny i wanted." Tho common brny
means either "water" or "oats." The
loud stumping in tho stall means "gen
eral starvation," and tho following, in
Chinese language, is believed to I un
dorsKxid by tho boasts: "Woh" means a
southern path, Yoe" a northern path;
"Ileh" means hurry, and "Woo'' meuns
lowly.
Strange to any tho above words are
all understood by animals of long service
and the whip is seldom used except
upon old, worn-out brutos in the hands
of cruel master. Thore being no so
cieties among tho Chinese for the pre
vention of cruelty to animals, it Is not
unusual to find an occasional bonovo
lonl and riot) Individual buying up here
and thero old beusts of burden, to turn
them loose In sonio garden of his own
where they can eat and drink until
they die.
The hind 1 o vnlmible In most of the
settled districts of China that hay ha
to be made out of the sialics of tho
grain that was raised for man. Corn
stulks are cut down the moment
the oar of golden corn are
plucked, to make food for the animals.
Tho principal hay-making stalks are
tho millet, which tho animals prefer to
any other. The next that comes in for
a largo share of animal patronage are
tho stalks and v ines of sweet poUVoes
and green peas. Tho termor lire dried
into a reddish brawn old cut up in two
Inch sections, and the latter even liner.
The sweot-iiotato vinos ure bettor en
joyed by oxen and cows thun by mu'es
or horses. Wheat straw is the princi
pal food for cows uvd the provender of
the other animals is only given them as
holiday inoalB or luxuries, us tho mules,
jacks Btid horses will not touch cow food.
Three times a day tlw horses, mules
and jacks uro given roasted lieons or
browned poos, with suit These are
nover given raw. l.litnese neiievetnoso
grains in their ruw stutu would make
the animals sick. Tho cheapest grain
with which lo diet unlmuls are cakes
iiiado from yellow beans the refuso of
the oil manufactories. These cakes
when fresh from tho mills weigh nlsnit
160 to 1 pounds each, and owing to
the extremely poor pressing machines
in the oil factories they retain about 40
per cent, of tho oil. Wholo families
have been known to exist comfortably
upon such cakes for mouths. Green
grass, even during the summer months,
is Boldom given to working animals. It
I deemed unhcnlthy for them, except
for cows, which ure usuully lund
loose to l)d by the wuyslde or wher
ever they oun find food. Altogether
the llfo of a Chinese jackass is not a
happy one nt best, us it is without
doubt tho hardest worked and the poor

HEROIC MAGGIE O'FLYNN.

In a cabin on a sunny hillsldo over
looking tho Bay of Dublin dwolt a
middle-aged brother and sister. Tho
man was a helpless cripple, entirely
dependent iihiii his sister s exertions;
and on her death a car was sent from the
poor-houso to bring him thither for
shelter. The poor vvYetch clung to tho
only homo he had ever known, and he
utterly refused to leave it. crying that
ho would dlo if deprived of his "suy

His loud lamentations had brought the
priest and some of the neighbors to his
side, and one of the latter, Maggie
O'Flynn, foil a doep impulse of pityto
vv ards the unfortunate man. She was
a single woman of about tlfty-iive, of
weather-beaten mill certainly not at

RATS AND POLICEMEN.
iDf ul.r Story of Whll. Ko4.nl lh.
Vol CHy Hsll station.
Several years ago the door-man of
the City Hall pol' ttloB WIW PT'
sonted with a young whit rat. For
some time after tho officer attached to
the station objeotod to the presence of
the animal, and the poor rodent was
driven to it wit' ends amid a constant
shower of boot, stray ploc of so up,
loose cartridge and innumerable other
domestic articles. But the rat was;
game, and a remnrkabto dodger, and
iusUsal of falling away borore tne no. -liirnal
onslaught, it thrived, grew
stout and more daring. Its nightly
depredations made rest for the lodgers
of tho station impo-"'1"' un(: teaeei
organization wa formed for the pur
pose of annihilating the rodent.
In ono corner of the dormitory is a
small hole in the floor. Here Mr. Kat
dwells when not roaming about. For
four night tho entire force of the sta
tion clustered about the hole awaiting
the advent of his ratship. But tho rat
has more than it share of fox blood In
it rich veins, and the whole of those
memorable (our nights were spent "at
borne." The other evening the organi
zation disbund Hi. At midnight Officer
Richard C.anley walked In. fianley l
one of the best members of the force,
having saved from drowning no fewer
than twenty-live lives. Ganloy's over
coat pocket wore stuffed with u king's
repast, which his wife of many years
hud fnithfully gotten up for his break
fast He hung his oont on a peg over
a chair and retired the for night In
the morning he arose and went to
hi overcoat tor hi faro. It
wa picked to pieces, and there
wa plenty of clear evidence
to how thut his ratship had climbed
up the hack of the chair and into the
well-tilled pocket This was another
blnck peg put into the rat's board of
life, and Oanloy renewed his oath of
revenge. Last night tiunley came
around again with his well-nileu
pocket He got a largo nail and hum
mer und put u cout-hunger high up on
tho vvull whore thero were no chuirs.
This morning on gotting up ho wont to
tho coat, shoved his hand into tho
noeket. und his bund ran over tho soft
fur of Mr. Bat The rodent had
climbed up the wall into the border of
und dropped down onto the cent
scrambling into tho pocket. It wus n
wonderful feat, the officers think, and
now the men hnvc foreswore their
word) of vongeunce. In future tho rat
will bo potted and fretted.
Rats appear to havs a great fondness
for tho guardians of tho peace. At the
corner of Maiden lane, and South street
is a coffeo and enke slinnty kept by an
ex-policcman. Kvery night and morn

If you want a good uppoti'e, don't
worry. If you want a healthy body,
don't worry. If you want things to go
right in your business, don't worry.
Women find a sou ot trouble in their
housekeeping. Some one says they
often put as much worry and anxiety
into a lout of bread, a pie or cuko, into
the weekly washing and ironing, o
should sullice for much weightier mat
tors. This accounts largely for the
angularity of American women. Nerv

reservoir of worrying it fountain
and source -i the bane of tho Amer
ican race. It is not confined to the
women, by any meuns. but extends to
the men as well. Kven business men
are sometimes afflicted, so we have
heard, and so our advice n
to yield to this habit will be mosl
kindly received by all classes of read
ers. What good docs fretting do? It only
inerenses with indulgence, like anger,
or appetite, or any other human im
pulse. It deranges one's temper, ex
cites unpleasant feelings toward every

a spirit of patience, both for

regret the step, for it will not only add
to your owu happiness, but the exam
ple of your conduct will affect those
with whom you associate, and in whom
you are interested. Suppose somebody
makes a mistake, suppose ) 4 arc
crossed, or a trifling accident occur;
to fly into a fretful mood will not
mend, but help to hinder the attain,

thoy were able to hear every note of

had come into general uso, nnd was
thought to be a groat thing by the
country operators, who used to pas
many a quiet night listening to tho
weet notes from Quinn's 'Musk-phone.'
Well, to return to the tramps; Quinn
