The Etbiieralifig PiMtiiii« Enjoyeil l»y the Fair Girl, of Norway. A correspondent gives the following account of a delightful sport which the inhabitants of Norway enjoy during the month of Marell, usually so sloppy and disagreeable here: "There is plenty of snow in Norway. There always has been, and this winter it seems as if the snow is lingering around only to please tlie young ladies, who are bound to have some fun out of it. You can see them now in their most convenient and lieeomiiig dark dress«-» made for the oci-nsion, marching bravely up hill on their largo wooden skates (ski) or gracefully sliding like fair visions down steep liills, and sometimes disappearing in the disip snow, presently to emerge again looking' like snow fairies. These wooden skates tire peculUr to Norway. Tlicy are about two yards long, ending in front in a curved point. The middle is provided with a strong leather strap, «•lose), titling the foot, and tho whole skate is just wide enough for tho foot to rest u;x>n. Stri;ggling to tho top of tlie hills on th»'«« skates is a very difficult matter, and would prove almost too much An the little feet were it not for tlie assist- :»n«-e which their escorts are only too gltul to render. It is exceedingly fas cinating to see hundreds and hundreds of young men and girls on a beautiful moonlight evening, walking on these long skatus among the d.’.rkniid mighty fir ami pine trees, or in tJie long ranks, hand in band, plunging down from ths top of a hill, singing ar.d laughing so that tlie cold, transparent air is ringing with joy. And then after some happy hours spent away from tlie city, march ing home, swinging their burning torches, which twinkle and sparkle against lite dear blue sky, when the moon now and then peep* down among the Ir»-«« tops, looking pale beside tlie dark red light of the torches. The ■oleiim pine forest around them light ins u]> as they pass, while the pure ivhite snow sparkles like diamonds, and turns into a ruddy hue from the «parks that shower down like a ruin of ire. in spite of the fact that the temper- •iturn is just above zero, I am sure all the»»' young Norwegian girls, if they had th«; slightest acquaintance witli American slang, would exclaim when •otning home on one of those evenings: • It wits just too lovely for any thing;” but as they do not use slang in Nor way. they would simply say: “Noth ing is like a Norwegian winter.”—A'.

They were cre ated by tlie Methodist General (Confer ence, utter a careful consideration of the ubjex-t by the comraitt.»«e On missions. Tho idea came from Rev. Dr. J. M. Thoburn, to whom it was »uggestod by an cx-C'utholic priest who had Ix com»! a Methodist, and who strongly advo cated it. The committee reported favorably, and the Conference inserted in tho discipline of the church a »ection regulating them. They are to be called deaconesaee, and they will I»» very simi lar to the nuns of the Roman Catholic Church, except that they are not to take vows of life service or of celiba«-y. Every annual eonfei-ence in which tin«««« iletu-onesses are establishi'd will have a Itoard of nine members to control this kind of work. Nothing more definite than that was done by tlie conference, but l)r. Thoburn tells your cou-es]«>nd- ent that the Methodist nuns will be very likely to wear distinctive costumes, and live in houses by themselves. 'I'hey will minister to tlie poor and the sick, («411-0 for orphans and do other work of charity. They will be required to serve a probation of continual servfce for two years before being made deaconesses, and they will have to lie at least twenty- live years of age. It has long been a hobliy of Rev. Dr. Dix. of the Trinity Episcopalian Church, to have such duties performed by regular orders of women, and ho succecxled. several years ago, in forming an organ ization of Episcopalian nuns, but they have not been formally indorsed by the deiKiniinntion, and so the Methodists are rhe first Protestant church in Aineriea to attempt the recruiting and uniform ing ol religious sisters. Dr. Thoburn says tho first of these deaconesses will I mj very likely to be seen in Chicago where there is already an informal »>.- ganization of a somewliat similar char acter; hut ho believes that in nil the large cities, within a year, there will be es tablished probationary classes. As two years’ service will lie required before -my woman may become a deaconess, there must ensue that amount of delay, Imt til»' work mid costuming of the de votees may begin at onco. "And what costumes will tho deacc-- i«ssc» wear?” wns asked of nearly evory member of tli«« committee responsililo for tlieir creation. No lieiinii»« answer could lie obtained.

KWU Why is' it, we sometimes hear the question asked, that tlie owner« and managers of newspapers do not take greater pains in the selection of »’•„ men who do the work on them? Why is it, the outsider wonder.'«, that men of shady character«, or with no character at all, are able to obtain situations as writers or correspondents of prominent journals. In short, why are not all th«' men engaged in an occupation which offers so tine a scope for talent, which is so attractive to men of brain—why are not all such men scholars and gen tlemen? The first suggestion th at these queries brings up is to remind the questioner that a large majority of tlie capable and successful journalists of the day are men of good character as well a« ol a careful education. There are a few great newspapers in the country ii. tile offices of which men wlio can worthily claim the name of gentlemen are not preferred to those who «re careless in their conduct and way of living. There is an improvement uotieeable in this respect from year to year. Tlie American newspaper as it exists now, is a very recent creation. It lias grown up since tho opening of the war of tho rebellion, flatty of th«» weekly newspapers of to-day have larger establishments and employ more men than most of tlie daily newspapers could show ill 1860. Some of the most valuable newspaper properties in tlie United States have been entirely built up within the past fifteen years. Men of limited means u ho have acqtiireil newspapers of small circulation and in fluence in certain localities, have seen them increase until they have become enormously remunerative. In nearly every American newspaper office what is knoaii as "the business mating« • nient” lias a vast deal to do with tlie growth and success of tlie paper. Sue- ei'ssful business management in many offices consists "in keeping down ex penses," and litis results oftentimes in tlie employment of men who are "cheap" in character and insensible to the value of a good name. They hit men who ‘lean get news” or wlio can turn off quickly a flippant and “fetch ing" article, hut wlio have such weak nesses as to render them incapable of advancement in the profession of jour nalism. They are men who never “gel altead." but wlio still have ability enough to make them useful in a way . They are tolerated because they per form tin amount of work which men o' better standing in the community could not lie got to do for tlie Bam» innney. Occasionally, of course, ther»' is some really brilliant and forcible writer wlio is able to make himself in dispensable in a newspaper office to which lie bring« a nost disreputable private life and reputation. But gen erally speaking, it may be asserted that tin* tendency in jonrt dism, as in other prof ssioi.s an.I calling», is to set up htatidards of comliict and charaetei which render it more .nd mor«» difficult for knaves anil blue .guards to obtain mi entrance into it.
