THE LOWER EDUCATION OF WOMEN. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, In her letter to the Boston Journal in regard to the 'Smith Industrial College for women, hit a key note in otir lack in the educational •way, when she said: "I have not a word to &ay against the "higher education of women.' I rejoice in the increasing opportunities in this direction. Bat in the meantime almost nothing is being done for what Cannon Kingsley called the

Mower education' of women. And both the women who must work and those who need the skilled work of women, and are willing to pay for it, are suffering." There Is no one who has felt a deep interest in our system of public Hchool education,, who has not found this lack a rock ahead. In every public school, even in our high schools,its need is felt. How much more must it be a necessity in the class of young girls thrown upon their resources by the time that they are in their teens. Jf public schoolteachers tell one that a score out of every class graduate# and fitted to teach are much better suited naturally to something else,if something else only offered, it has become time for the matto be remediod. Employment for women, that is, work in which they can take a pride and in which they can satisfy their ambition, is scarce, and all other female labor is too poorly paid to be called remunerative. Deep interest in this question has convinced us that such a college as Mrs. Livermore inquires abont would raise manual labor in re•p&rt and cure many of the fol-du-rol notions picked up by girls in the mixing of elements in tho public schools, as well as elevate that class of womankind who for lack of being taught to do anything well, are almost deprived of the merest livllliood.

IF SOCRATES SHOULD AWAKE. Tho Waverly Magazine, of Chicago, contains in a recent number a remarkably clover paper from the pen of Austin Blerbower, conscl for I)r. Thomas in his church trial of some months ago, in which the writer works out with admirable skill, in the hackneyed form of a dream, the problem. What would Socrates say if he were to wake up in Chicago, unconscious of all the progress made since he was the wisest man in the world? First of all, tho sage was astounded to find that all the gods of Olympus were dead, none so poor as to reverence to any one of them, a native of tho i*»tty and barbarous Judea having supplanted them all. When tho tele-graph-polos and wires were explained to him tho blunt philosopher coolly remarked, "How you do lie," and it would bo*'slmply impossible for any ancient mind to form, at first, the slightest conception of our modem mercury. A train of cars ho mistook for a village on wheels. Tho most common tilings wero equally novel, umbrella, spectacles, omnibuses, watches, guns, otc. Noting th« (irw»k (nomenclature of modern ingenuity and science, Socrates observes with a pith aud foreo worthy of Emerson. "The Greek language contains more thought dead than it did living." Tho conclusion of the Athenian sage is worthy his recorded wisdom: ''Well, I have seen it all, and am satl*f\ed,M ho said. "I do not want to live in this ago. I should have to be a child and learn everything over again. 1 ain't talk in your terms or think In your distinctions. Nearly every word in Jrour dictionary is now, and means aofnething of which I never heard. I imh'Ieat your food, or believe your faith. My country, my language, my gods are gone. I am too much alone, and In this age I should be tot) great astrangor. I was a wise man in my generation I should be a fool in thisand you will be a fetal in the next. So good-by. You get away and I'll go to sleep again."

A NEW BUSINESS.

A very quiet and modest business has, according to the Spectator, just been begun in St, Louis and has already realized a small fortune for its discoverer. It is warranted uniformly successful, and requires very little capital to establish it. The diaeoveror is ready to sell State or county rights, and will guarantee largo pro tits. The scheme is to start a livery stable on a fashionable street next to a new and costly house, and refusing to sell out except on terms satisfactory to "starter." The Spectators astonished that a greater number of onr citizen* do not take held of It, "There area great many blocks which have not yet been ruined by the livery stable racket, and numbers of our best ci listens have escaped blackmailing."

About a month since the corj*e of a boy was found on the railroad at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. A citlreu of Bristol claimed it as the remains of his son and had it buried. The funeral was hardly over, however, wben the son appeared. Reading of this, a father in Sharon,named Seaborn, had the remains disinterred, and to his astonishment found that they wens those of his son, who had ah* been missing. The funeral arat held and corpse again committed to the earth. A month passed, wben the young Seaborn appeared, very naturally to the consternation of his family. The Identity of the corpse has not yet been aowertained, end its usefctineas in reetorinjf foet children to their parents may be greatly prolonged.

TWO WA Y8 OF CURING DISEASE OF THE HEART. When a woman is disappointed in her heart-hopes, her impulse leads her to commit suicide. This seems, from present indications, to hare been the case with a very beautiful female of some thirty years of age, Josephine Parant, who recently suffocated herself with gas at the Stortevant House, New York. Shcha£ all the characteristics of one of the most refined and bewitching of French Canadians, who somehow ripen gloriously in the region of hyperborean Quebec, and apparently had much to live for. The sad fate of the lovely and accomplished governess is wrapped in mystery, yet no one can doubt that her life was ended in consequence of bitter disappointment of tbeaffections. Women so young and captivating do not kill themselves unless man's perfidy drives to desperation. The man lives on in such instances the beautiful victim rots in her grave but there never was nor never will be a time when the wrong does not overtake the wrong-doer in some way or other. From such a tragic disappearance from life as that of the French-Canadian stranger, one turns to the case of a woman who, disappointed with marital life, indulges in a comedy. Frank Millhouse married at Padu'^h, Ky., a woman whom be regarded as liis aflinity. Josephine, his wife, about a month afterward, deserted him without any fault on the part of the plaintiff, who now sues for a decree of divorce. Did Mrs. Millhouso commit suicide wben she determined to carry no more grists to the mill of her husband She had no such sentimental idea. Packing her duds, the bfido of a month, just out of tho honeymoon, went to Mercer county, Kentucky, and joined tho Shakers. Having accepted the creed of the community in bocoming a member, she of course violated her marriage vows. Tho Shakers do not marry. They do a great deal of kissing and hugging in brotherly and sisterly way, but celibacy is to them the gate of heaven. Precisely how osculations and embraces lead them to the gates ajar and within them, is a puzzler, seeing that human nature, secular and religious, is about the same everywhere. Tho men claim to be saints of the pattern of Paul, and the women "brides of hoaven," and so the outside world is constrained to leave them to their fallacies. What a queer world is ours. Josephine Parant found surcease from sorrow iu gas suffocation, while Josephine Millhouse found a Lethe iu the Shaker community for marital disappointment. Tragedy and comedy chase each other here like cloud and sunshine. If life was not so serious in many of its aspects it would bo a downright farce.

THE NI$W DEPARTURE. The following is related by a Boston paper, and when a Boston paper confesses judgement against Boston tho accusation may be accepted as true: Not very long ago a lady, in everj' sense of the word, applied for the position of governess in one of the best families on Beacon Hill. She was thoroughly educated, a good musician, and spoke French as it is rarely hoard out of Paris. There was three little children to be instructed, and the mother particularly desired them to be grouuded in those specified accomplishments. After conversing for some timo on the moral, mental aud intellectual capacity of the applicant, and saying she wished her.children to have every possible advantage, she added, 'You understand that I do not take a governess into my family, or receive her at the table. Several Boston ladies (naming them) and myself havo determined to begin a new system here, and do liko the English nobility, who would not permit an equality with a governess any more than with a lady's maid.' Seeing a look of scornful surprise on her visitor's face, she quickly continued, 'We have had such difficulty with governesses, you know, that we must protect ourselves.' •I should imagine so, replied the governess, rising to take leave. 'It must be difficult to find a person in this American republic who, being fitted to form a child's mind and manners, would submit to being treated like a ervant by the family that employed her. I wish you good day.' It would seem by this that some of Boston's 'best families' attacked by Anglomania a little too hard for comfort.

CONDUCTING A NEWSPAPER. There is a good deal of truth in what Editor Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, says about conducting a newspaper: "Some people estimate the ability of a periodical and the talent of its editor by the quantity of its original matter. It is comparatively easy for a frothy writer to string out|a column of words upon any and all subjects. Hi# ideas may flow in one weak, washy, everlasting'flood, and the command of his language may enable bim to string them together like bunches of onions, and yet his paper m«v be but a meager and poor concern. Indeed, the mere writing part of editing a paper is but a small portion of the work. The care, the time employed in selecting, is far more important, and the fact of a good editor is better shown by his selections than anything else, but that we know is half the battle. But, as we said, an editor ought to be estimated —his labor understood and appreciated —by the conduct of his paper, its tone, its uniform consistent course, aims, manliness, its dignity and its propriety. To preserve these as they should be preserved, is enough to occupy fully the time and attention of any man. *Ifto this is added the geoeral supervision of of the details of publication which moat editors have to encounter, the wonder is how they find time to write at mil.

WOMEN WITH SHORT HAIR.

WEAR DERBY HATS AND CARRY CANES.

Cincinnati Enquirer.

Decidedly masculine are some of the new walking.costumes of tweed, showing a white vest, cutaway coat, fastened just below the chest with one button, a standing collar, with round gold collar buttons, and.linen cuffs held together by large links or bti{.e cuff-buttons, and, crowning all, a jaunty, low-crowned Derby bat, devoid of trimming of any sort. This style is from Loudon, and a few who follow it £o to the whole English extent of carrying canes. These are quite slender bits of ebony, not long enough to be used in walking, and are sometimes expensively mounted with gold. It is fashionable, too, to wear cropped hair with these costumes. Cutting off the hair is not considered a very serious matter by women who are bold enough to adopt such distinctive and conspicuous toilets, for they almost invariably belong to the classes who wetr wigs, and therefore can put on long hair again at will. There are numerous women in New York who, being scantily provided by Nature with hair, hardly ever show it at all, but wear wigs on all occasions. This saves trouble, because they can be sent to a shop to be combed and arranged to order and brought back ready to be pinned on. Moreover, a variety of colors can be gained, lor uo hesitation seems to be felt in appearing in the morniug with raven tresses, in the afternoon with yellow frizzes, aud in the evening with a hersute revelation in red. Of course, it is an extremely artificial woman, not to say a brazen one, who resorts to wigs from choice. It is only a youthful and pretty face, however, that can stand cropped nair. The effect is extremely boyish.

MARRYING FOR A HOME. Elmiro Telegram. Every tiny schoolgirl from the time that she plays with the doll baby looks forward to marriage as the business of her life. All the novels that she reads end in weddings all her romances turn upon engagements all her day dreams are of weddings, bridal wreaths and honeymoons—all, doubtless, very sweet and innocent and pure, but perilously unfitting her for a just estimate of her own fitness for such a state, and renderiug her fatally susceptible to betray into a blind and improvident marriage. It is this feeling which leads them so often to neglect the most ordinary caution and marry a wretch who has already a half dozen wives living. B.it this is not the worst. A, girl hasn't a fair Chance at best for slie "marries for a home," and adopts marriage as a professiou. Now-, the man has a profession or trade, and is independent. He may marry when it suits him but the woman who has no profession or trade and must marry for a living too olten feels that she must "take tlio first good offer." Nay, many helpless women marry men who are distasteful to them iu order to have a home. YVomeu usually consider all marriage to be honorable and yet, to sell oneself for "a home" is at bottom selling oneself for a price, and might be called in plain English by a very ugly name. And are we not all to blame if we raise our girls without educating them to support and take care of themselves at need, and thus leave them dependent upon "catching a husband" as tho only path to honorable life? Is this giving the girls a fair chance? Would not all of our girl/1*, rich or poor, bo better equipped for making a good match if each one had a trade or calling by which at need she might support herself, without feeling the degrading necessity for "marrying a home?" Is it not a pitiable state of affairs that everj' old lhaid should consider her career a failure because she had the force and dignity to decline all offers of marriage that did' not come up to lior standard? _____________

WHISTLING. Piircnolgical Journal.

If tho mere act of whistling can help to cheer a man so much, why should it be denied to a woman? It whistling will drive awav the blues and be company for a lonesome person, surely women have much more need of its services than their brothers, fgr to tliem come many more such occasions than to men. There are many who have not the gift of Ming. Why should they not whistlo as they rock the cradle or perform their household duties, or accompany themselves on the piano? But there is a physical or hygienic advantage in whistling which should excuse it against all the canons of propriety or "good form." It :s often, remarked that the average girl Is so narrow-chested, aud in that respect compares so unfavorably with her brother. May this not be due in some measure to this habit of whistliug which every boy acquires as soou as he arrives at the dignity of pants, and girls seldom do? Let any oue try for five minutes the inhalingand exhaling of the breath as occurs in the act of wnistling, and the effect on the lungs and chest cannot fail to lw noticed. A daily practice of this kind would be of more benefit than all the patent inspirators and chest expanders in the market. An eminent medical authority say?: "All the men whose business is to try the wiud instruments made at the various factories before sending them off for sale, are, without exception, free from pulmonary affections. I havo known many who, wben entering upon this calling, were very delicate, and who. nevertheless, though their duty obliged them to blow for hours together, enjoyed perfect health after a certain time.'' Tbe action of blowing wind instruments is the^amc as that of whistling, consequently the eftert should be the same, according to the amount of exercise taken.

HOW TO KILL A SNA KE. A working party on a railmad herein made up of mountaineers and Georgians. One of tbe latter performed a foolhardy feat the other day that made the blood of the unaccustomed spectators run cold. Tbey were at work clearing away tbe thick underbrush in advance of the engineer, when some one sb*uted,"Ware of tbe rattlesnakes!" He saw one of these reptiles about four feet long and fire or six inches in diameter lying just ahead. The deorgiaa cut a short stick with a forked end, and creeping up to the snake be deftly pinned it to the earth by pushing tbe forked end on either side of bis neck. Then setting tbe tail in his right band, he ran his hand down tbe snake's body, and grasping it firmly just back of tbe head. Be held it up at arm's length and called on tbe otbers to "look at tbe rarmint\i month." It was anything bat a pleasant sight, and mostof tbe spectators were horrified. After holding It for a few momenta for general inspection, be suddenly swung tbe snake over his head with his right hand, letting go tbe bold of his left, and dashed it with great force against a rock, killing it instantly. It was a cool and dexterous feat, bat very trying to tbe lookers-on, who censured the man for his "tolly," at which he seemed to be mightily amused.

BEVISI21NG OLD SCENES.

Mrs. D. M. Jordan in Cln. Sat. Night. If there is anything in the world which will make us realize the truth that we are growing old, it is to go back to the scenes of our earthly youth to meet, one after another, the gray and wrinkled men aud women whom we once romped with and called them by short, familiar names. Somehow we do not feel much older ourselves, and we are blissfully blind to the hieroglyphics that the years have traced upon our features. We look at them and secretly congratulate ourselves that we have been mercifully dealt with bv the great artist who "hews to the line, let tbe chips fall where they will."

It has been a recent experience of mine to visit the old home of childhood, one of those juiet places which seems to be forgotten the march of progress. Its still streets are not even so busy as they we»*e many years ago. A new "and moiiern school-house is about the ouly evidence of progression. They live serenely there, for no rumor of war reaches' them, at least not till it is a week old aud several battles have already been fought.

Everybody knows everybody, and wben there is a death in the place it is a common affliction aud a universal mourning.

One would suppose that kiudly brotherly love would prevail hero in all its sweetness, yet there are always in a wrangle over some neighborhood gossip

But the strange influences of tho place exercise a spell which is undescritwble. The ridging clink of the anvil is about I ho only sound which stirs tho still air, and as the old shop is just tho same as it was when we rail iu and out barefooted children it seems that the clink has been going on through all the years unbroken.

But there is no spot which stirs up tho depths of feeling and awakens such mingled feelings as the old graveyard. They do not call il cemetery. i'ou wander through the labyrinths of tangled grasses which have notted themselves together yeir after year, uutil thev are strong as cables. Here lies a broken stone covered with gray mold, through which yoy decipher a name once familiar as your own. You lift up the briers which hang in festoons over the leaning stones, and you feel the tearfc rushing to your eyos us you read the name of one whom you loved with the true and tender devotion of childhood,Jwitha love such as your later years iiave uot known. The years have traced deep lines in your face, and sorrows have chastened your life while that silent dust has been moldering awav. Mingled feelings sweep over the soul j'ou recall the long gone days and count the broken hopes, tho faithless loves and tickle liriendships which lie all along your pathway, which the friend of your purer days has missed by going away while yet the dew of youth was upon his feet, and the perfect trust of purity in his heart.

And these are some of tho emotions awakeued by revising scenes of childhood. Let the world weary, tired brain and discouraged go where they will, they can get no such fresh baptism of memories sad and pleasant as that which comes in the old, old home whore they wero little children.

A PRISON PICTURE.

"Dood bye, papa," laughed a little child as her mother held her up that she might kiss her father through the grated door of the city prison yesterday. "Dood bye, and hurry and turn back. Is all oo men doin' with my papa? 'she continued, gazing In on the rough looking prisoners who were crowding near the door "if oo is. dood bye everybody, and turn right back and see your little girl, too." Then she clambered down and ran away, while the big iron door closed after her, as a sullen cloud darkens the sunlight. This little child, with ber innocent prattle looking in upon and talking to a group of hardened men was a pretty scene. As »he put her little face against the bars and kissed her papa, the wretches within that prison could not restrain their tears. Men were there whose lives had been on tho darkest side of existence, who would hesitate at scarcely any crime, whose characters were hardened and corrupted by sin aud debauchery yet a simple little scene like the above, a few prattling words of a child, reached down through every covering and touched their better emotions. It kindled within them lingering memoties of other and better days, and stirred up the little remaining sentiment of manhood, husbandhood, fatherhood. The visit of the child loft an impression on those men and opened their hearts to better resolves. However, it was only one of the manv occnrrences that take place in that little world of itself—a city court and prison.—Cleveland Voice.

QUICK MATCH. Troy Times.

A few days ago a farmer, who gave bis name as Amos Miller, of Oermantown, N. Y., called at Castle Garden and said: "I will give a month and full b*ard to a man and wife who will come to work on my farm.'' There wero no married couples at the Garden. Miller asked permission to speak to some of the applicants for employment. This was allowed, and soon after, the matchmaking farmer induced a tall, tinelooking German named Adam Horner to join his life and fortune with a comely German girl named Rosina Hseffner, lioth of whom hail from Westerheim, Baden. The groom, who Is 24 years old, had for hH best man Captain Reichardt, and tbe bride, who is 18, wa* given away by matron Esslinger, and pastor Berkemier tied tbe nuptial knot. Tbe young couple bad never before spoken to each other. Farmer Miller, who appeared elated at the success of his match-mak-ing, gave tbe groom a five dollar note to "put up tbe beer," as he expressed it. After tbe ceremony abont half a dozen persons of the two sexes asked Captain Reichardt if he would kindly remember them the next opportunity, and "give them a show whenever married couples were wanted on farms.

The demand for female help is rapidly increasing with tbe growth of business interests ana tbe openingof new avenues to profitable employment. There are now forty thousand women employed inr telegraph offices in this country, who receive from 930 to $70 per montb. Female teachers receive from 9500 to $1200 per annum. Women are employed in tbe per •opera, cashiers, and accountants receiving from 96 to |18 per week, and saleswomen from 93 to $12. In abort, female experts have no difficulty in finding positions at fair enumeration in a vast number of capadties from which the prejudices of a few years ago who have debarred them, and with prospe ts of promotion which are never offered by the drudgery of tbe factory or tbe kitchen.

THE HOME CIRCLE.

WHAT MAKES A HOUSE BEAUTIFUL. It is an excelleut thing to have a wellkept house and a beautiful appointed table but after all, the best charm of every home must come from the heart and'manner of the home mother. If that is cold and this ^ungracious, all the wealth of India cannot make tbe home pleasant and inviting. Intelligence, too, must lend its charm, If we would have home an Eden. The severe style of house-ordered neatness seldom leaves much margin for intellectual culture. Even general reading is considered as out of the question for a woman so hurried and so worried with her scrubbiug and polishing and making up garments. A simpler style of living ana house-furn-ishing would set many a bouded slave at liberty, and add variety to the comfort of all the house.

Hospitality rarely prevails in these spotless lino and letter houses. Company disarrange the books and disorder tne house which had work enough iu it before. The mother caunot throw off her household cares aud sit down for a "eal heart to heart converse with the old friends of her childhood. Still less can she enter into the joy and pleasures right and delightful to her own children because of the extra work of clearing away it will be likely to make.

With all your tools to make a houso beautiful, do not neglect the first element of all, to fceaiuify yourself, body and soul. A sweet, loving word, aud a warm clasp of tho hand are far more to a

groidered

uest than the most elaborately emlambrequins at your window or the most exquisito damask on your table. There are bare cabin homes'that have been remembered with pleasure, because of tho beautiful loving presence there and stately palaces which leave tho impression "of an iceberg on the mind.

SWEET MINDED WOME.t.

So great is the influence of a sweetminded woman on those around her that it is almost boundless. It is to her that friends come in season of sorrow aud sickness for help and comfort one soothing touch of her kindly hand works wonders in the feverish child a few words let fall from her lips in the ear of a sorrowing sister do much to raise the load of gritf that is bowing its victim down to the dust in anguish. The husband comes home worn out with the pressure of business, aud feeling irritable with tho world in general but when he enters the cozy sitting-room, aud sees tho blaze of tho bright tire, and meets his wife's smiling face, ho succumbs in a moment to tbe sootliiug influences which act as the balm ofGilead to his wounded spirits, that are wearied with combating with the steru realities of life. The rough school-boy flies in a rage from the taunts of his companions to find solace in his mother's smile the little one, full of grief with its own largo trouble, tiud a heaven of rest on its mother's breast and so one might go on with instanco of tho influence that a sweet-minded woman has in tho social life with which she is connectod. Beauty isan insignificant power whoucompared with hers.

HOME HYGIENE.

Health in the home depends very much on the air and on the temperature observed in the rooms where people sit or sleep. In general tho air of a cellar is close, damp, musty and vitiated that of the housetop clear, pure and bracing. On the surface of the earth the atmosphere is chill and impure, on the mountains it is dry and invigorating. The purer the air is tho more life it imparts to the blood, the more perfectly is tho brain nourished and tho more vigorously does tho mind work and tho body move. Hence, the office, the library, the family sitting room and tho chambors should always be in the upper stories and in such a situation as will allow the sun to shine into them for a large portion of each day. The higher we ascend the more raritied is tho air and the greater bulk is required to impart a given amount of nourishment to the system, this great rarity excites the instinct of our nature to deeper, fuller breathing without any effort on our part. When sunshine is added the air is still more rarified, and consequently the greater depth and fulness of breathing, which the atmospheric rartiy induces, tends still more to develop and strengthen the lungs. As for thejtemperaturo of rooms, that of a sittting room should never exce9d seventy degrees, while for chambers the temperature should range about fifty degrees in cold weather, and not run lower than forty. It is not true that because it is healthful to sleep in a cool room it Is more healthful to sleep in a very cold one. A great degree of cold in a room where oue is sleeping is said to cause dangerous and even fatal forms of congestion of the brain and lungs. The same ailments result from overheated apartments.

No law in married life, saysOurContinent, is of more positive application, and none baa been more calmly set aside than that which makes the wife tbe proper agent of expenditure.
