Mme. de Stael was never beautiful in any strict sense of the word yet in her later years she charmed all who approached her, as-well as in her youth, by her vivacity, her wit, and her unfailing resources of mind. Harriet Mary, Lady Ashburtqn, who so vexed Mrs. Carlyle’s jealous soul, was nei. ther young nor beautiful, yet “ Jeanie," before she had learned to hate her, calls her “the most amusing and most graceful woman of her time 1" Whether or not the charms of this grande dame proved dangerâ€" ous to the heart of the Sage of Chelsea, she played well her role of precieuse, according to Mr. Greville, inspiring ardent admiration in the minds of such men as Charles Buller and John Stuart Mills. The husband of this precieuse, who figures so often in the Carlyle “ Life and Letters," was the grand. son of the once celebrated Philadelphia beauty, Mrs. \‘Villiam Bingham. Her daugh- ter, Anne Bingham, married the first Lord Ashburton, and this William Bingham Bar- ing was their son. A curious legend is related by an eastern traveler who, describing a river which flows from the Caucasus into the Black sea, says : “ Every year there arrives in this part of the river a. great" quantity of fish. The people cut off the flesh on one side of them, eat it, and let the fish go. The next year the fish return again and offer the other side, which they had preserVed untouched. It is then discovered that: new fish have re. placed the old.” All alon the charming gulf coest from Mobile tofihy St. Louis, or, in the other direction to St, Mark's and‘ Tallahassee, there is note cot, no matter'how lonely or lowly, provided it has a fig tree, that there is not a. pair of mockingr birds to do it honof.’ The scuppering vineyards, too. are the concert halls of this famous singer. Near the 'home of Mr. Jefferson Dwis. and, I believe, upon the estate of the ex Confeder- ate chieftain, I sat in the abode of a. water; oak and heard a. mocking 'bird sing in a thrifty vineyard, the rare dropping song of which naturalists appear to have taken no notice. It was a balmy’doyin March ;- the sky, the gulf, the air all hazy and shimmer- ing, the wholeworld swimming in a pur- plish mist of dream, and Ifelt-that the song was the expression of some such sweet, passionate longing as exhale from Keat's “ Ode to the Nightingale.” Under the low- hungiug boughs and oven the level. daisy- sprmkled grouud.

The Japanese have arlegend that fish are the emkodjm'enr, oh;th fioul'g of~_na.Va1 effi- cers, and‘ the Africi‘id 'négméd’ béliei‘le that magicians assume the shape of fish and come to their nets to work evil. ‘ An amusing story is told of the skate. It seems, that, in years gone by, when the fish assembled to select forjthemselves a. king, the skate‘was behind hand, and his mouth is now one-sided from his not being chosen king. According to a popular notion once credited, the plaice was produced from a small crustacean animal of the shrimp kind. But this vulgar error has been explained by the fact that the ova. is deposited in locali- ties frequented by shrimps. The pike is an important fish in folk- legends. In Russian fairy-tales the pike is a. form assumed by the devil in order to eat the you 'g b' 0'; Who was become aiittle perch. Some 401 naitlnalisbs 113..ij account- ed for the sudden and mysterious appear-V ance of the pike in ponds far from other water by the theor) that they were pro- duced by the heat of the snnf‘from a Weed known as pickereLweed. > ‘ ‘r There was an old Highland tre dition that the herrings quitted the coasts where blood had been shed, and it seems that th a notion was revived‘ after the battle \f Copenhagen, “ when it was said that, they had deserted the Bmltic on account of the noise of the guns.” The fishermen in Scotland declare that the salmon's tail is pointed “ since Loki be- came a. salmon, and was caught by that ap- pendage While slipping through a nefi set for him by ‘the gods”. Curious to say, in some parts, of Scotland the salmon is held in great aversion, its name not' even being mentioned.

A story is related of St.» Corentin of Brittany that every mornin a little fish was seen in a. fountain near t 1e hermitage. The saint caught it, cut offa sufficient; quan- tity for his repnst, then threw the rest in the Water, when the fish became whole again, and on the following morning was ready for another Huartering. “In Normandy,” 'writes Home, in his “ Gimldus,” " affew days before the death of Henry IL, the fish of a certain pool fought so furiously with each other that the neighboring people were attracted to the spot by the noise. So desperate was the conflict that scarcely a. fish was found alive in the morning. thus by a Wonderful prag- nostic ioretelhng the death of one by that of many.” ‘ “An' author‘” ‘writes Miss Phipsnn, in her “Animal Lan of Shakespeare's Time,” “ actually nflirms that the Whale was (le- signed by Providence for the special pur- pose of. at; certain seasons of the year, frightening the herring away from its native shores into those regions where it would be obtainable with greater ease by man." A popular nicknzme for the bream in Cornwall is “choke~children.” The stor, runs that one day Sh. ‘Leven was fishing, when he caught two 01 these fish on one hook three times in succesgion.

THE Mom:st BIRD. The excavations proceeding in Piccadilly, London. Eng.. on the site of the new pre- mises of the Junior Travellerl’ Club, have brought: to light many intereating objects. The houses which are built on that poroion of the thoroughfare have for their founda- tions 8. series of well-formed arches at a. depth of about sixteen feet from the surface. In piercing some of these great difficulty 3W5: experienced an account of the toughness of the substance ‘of iv'r‘hich they are cgnstruct- ed. how'ng been overcome, a. series of subterranean passages, appa‘rently‘konnect ed were discovered. These were full of foul gasesandconraineda vastquantity of rubbish, among which numerous articles of interest have been found. Among the most remark- able are a. red granite tomb dated 15oz», some bronze armour, several iowling piects richly embossed, a lhmp and a large quanti- «ty‘oi vellum manuscripbs. The vaults have been only partly explored and further dis covcries are anticipated. Considering the unfortunate disclosures of the Figaro,,which ewnced much more journalistic enterpriSo than patriotism, the newspapers of Paris show a very kindly dis- position in pronouncing the French experi- ment at army mobilizationa success. Still, the interval was not long between the Figaro’s premature announcement that the Seventeenth Corps had been chosen and the issue of tho_.01ficial orders. Doubtless an equivalent period for preparation could be counted upon in actual hostilities both by the troops and the railroads. Thus it may he assumed that the capabilities oi trans- portation received after all a fair average test. The region around Toulouse cannot be considered the most commercially active in France, but offered sufficient advantages to the Government for seizing upon the cur- rent means of subsistence and conveyance for the troops. One thing clearly shown is the absurdity of the rumours started when the experiment was first proposed to the effect that it was ahostile demonstration against Germany. Some of the_ German against Germany. Some of the German papers were even considering under What; circumstances it: might be construed as a. declaration of war. It is announced that; Captain Renard, Chief of the military balloon service at the camp of Chelons, has invented a. mechanism for balloon steering and propelling. The balloon made bv him two years ago could not make headWay against a. current of the velocity of more than five meters a second, that is to say, against a. light wind. It is affirmed that with his invention the balloon will be able to resist a current of double the strength. If it is true it is a. step forward Which may render balloons really useful in . tune of war. Captain Renard is so confi dent 0f_ the success of his new propelling mechanism that, in order to prevent the ______........ uuun, Au ulucr w PLCVUUU vuc secret being discovered, he is havinv each piece of the machine made in a. different establishment andin various parts of France. When they are all finished they will be sent to him and he himself will put them together Itia aeid‘that the machine will be completed by about the end of next month, when the invention will be put. to a. test without de- 3y. Professor Prayer," a‘Etfliopean scientist 'bf considerable note, has published a. book in which he has recorded the results of his work in a. new branch of research. He has devoted himself to studying the growth of intelligence and observation in his own child, beginning with the day of its birth, and observing its deVelopment rather with the eyes of a. scientist than with these of a pn‘ent. He has noted the precise momer in which it first seemed to see things, and the circumstances under which it appeared to begin its thinkingâ€"the intelligent put- ting of one thing with another. " I took my baby," savs the professor in his book, “ to the window five minutes aiter he was born, and just as the sun was rising. His perception of the light (lid not seem at all keen. He opened and closed his eyes alternately, the lids parting about an eighth of an inch. Somewhat later, the light having hecome much brighter. the he. by opened his eyes quite wide, and in open- ing them wrinkled hisjoreheo‘d.”w Mr. Freyer declares that it is a, greit mis- take to mammals that a baby is able tovsmile 303m éfcg'rms birth; It was on his twenty- sixth day that his baby first smilefl: and the double joy of the father, which was both parental and scientific, wu unquestionably. verfy gaggle. Pfis easy to believe that for thaxgolmlgpt the Inga of science was lost in the father. Professor’s Preyer's experiments with the child’s perception of color were extremely interesting, but t0u long to be repeated here; but we may see that the result of phemwas to convince him that the eye is 'és'fiéciall'y' affected by th‘e color red, and”, that at first wn'have hujz' him. color impressions â€"~first of that which is red, and second of all that is not red. This discovery Professor Preyer reached by experimenting with him from dayto (lay with moving candles. The. child at last, on the day mentioned, followed the move- ment; of the candles, up or down or righc or left, by moving his head. The child wore, at the some time, an expression of intelli- gence, as if he had made a discovery; . It was only on the hundredth day that the baby followed exactly, and with an n- stant movement as perciae as a machine 3, the swinging of a. large pendulum, and only in the twenby~ninth month of his life that he followed, with quickness and certainty, the flight ola swallow. filming the earliest days of'its life, an inâ€" fant, Professor Pre) er ascertained, rarel y keeps its eyes open. Even when awake, it is quite as likely to keep its_ eyes" closed as open; and when it; opens thein. it is never by one and the same movement, at first. One lid lifts and then the other, and some times the two are held open at an unequal width. This state of things usually lasts until the eleventh day. Prof. Preyer observed his baby's first wink. For fifteen Jay's he shook his hand each day before the child's open eyes, as: he lay on the pillow, without; causing him. seemingly, any fear or astonishment. On the sixteenth day after his birth, however, the baby winked quickly when the same movement was made, opening the eyes again together, and quickly. - .But as early as‘the twenty-third day of his life the baby “noticed,” as the nurse puts‘it; thzit is to‘sa-y, discovered that there was such a. thing as movement in the world about him. At the end Aof the seventh month, the professor found the boy quite capable of feeling and expressing astonishment at any act which he did not understand: ' Studying a Baby. some- equal lasts Fisn AND BRAIN Foon. in one of his articles on iood, in the Century 111091121316, l’rofessor Atwatcr dis poses in the following manner of the popular theories that thought is especially depend- ent upon phosphorus and that fish is par- ticularly a. brain food. Even if iish were richer inrphosphoms than meats or other food-materials, thisléuould not establish its superiority for the nutrition of the brain or the production of intellectdal energy. But there is no proof of any special abundance of phosphorus in fish. On the contrary, an extended series pf analyses in this labora tory‘have re‘vealed proportions of phos phorus in the flesh of our ordinary food fishes differing in no important degree from those which have been found tooccur in t e flesh of other animal's used for the food of man. Physiologists tell us that the way to pro vide for the we'fare of the brain is to see that the rest oi the body is in good order, that, in other words, the old proverb of “ a sound mind in a. sound body ” is sound doc- trine. And they are getting to tell us fur- ther that one way in which brain-work is hindered is by bad dietary habits, as, for Linstence, overl- riding the digestive organs by taking too much food. 0f the vice of over-eating (a vice which we Americans by no means monopolize). a. Considerable part, in this country at least, and I think in Eng- land and among well-to-do people on the Continent of Europe also, is the vice of fat eating. “'0 are a race of fat eaters. If anyone doubts this, I think the statistics to be shown in a. succeeding article will con Vince him, unless he is ready to deny the practically unanimous testimony of such facts as I have been able to gather. It comes about very naturally, and is really due tothe fertility of our soil. the conse- ,quent abundance of food, and the tooth- someness of food materials rich in fatty mat» ters. The result of this is that the quanti- ty of fat in the average American’s dietary is very large indeed, mainly because of the large amounts of meats, butter and lard consumed, and is far in excess of the de- mands of his body, unless he. is engaged in very severe muscular work or exposedto extreme cold, or both. For people with sedentary occupations, including the ma jority of brain-workers, this simply means changing the organism with the burden of getting rid of an excess of material. This excess, the physiologists and physician as- sure us, is detrimental. Now it seems tome very reasonable to assume that brainworkers and other peo~ sple who do not have a. great deal of muscu- lar exercise may very advantageously sub- stitute fish in the place of a portion .of the meat they would otherwise consume. I am very well aware that such hygienic advice might come more appropriately from a phy- sician than from a. chemist, and am there- fore glad to be able to quote from no less an ahthority than Sir Henry Thompson, who urges “ the valu: of fish to the brain~ worker” on the ground that it “contains, in smaller proportions than meat, those ma.â€" terials which taken abundantly, demand much physical labor for their complete con sumption, and which, without this, produce an unhealthy condition of body, more or less incompatible with the easy and active ex~ } ercise of tha functions of the brain.’” With regard to children, we consider that an unlimited. diet of fruit would do no harm, always provided it was indulged in during the day, and not after a heavy meat nieal 01' late at night. Strawberries, goose- berries, plums, cherries, etc., are not only nourishing. but their use does away with the oppressive feeling so often suffered by children after meals, keep them cool, and out of mischief. Almost invariably, when we trace inconvenience from fruit-eating in children, We find that the feast has been a clandestine one, and the distressing symp- toms are probably due to over-indulgence in unripe or hot fruit. Propersupervision in the distribution of fruit to the juveniles is all that is required. Fruit should be ripe and cool; hot from the rays of the sun, it becomes less digestible and more likely to do harm, ofteninducing more or less acute febrile symptoms, together with evidence of gastric disturbance. FRUIT DIET IN SUMMER. No reasonable amount of fruit, if eaten when ripe and during proper season". will induce diarrhoea in healthy subjects. Many erroneously attribute summer dysen- ‘Jery or persistent diarrhwa. to excessive in‘ dulgence in fruit. This doctrine we have always held to be an exaggeration. To the overlabused stomach, indeed, fruit may possibly prove inconvenient, for the diges- tive system may be so far impaired as to assimilate only with the greatest difficulty the mosu. natural and wholesome of foods. With children and robust and healthy people generally, .however, this does not dpply; and afruit diet, so far from being noxious, will, on the contrary, prove highly beneficial. Its cooling and antiscorhutic properties are eminently'calculated to purify the‘hloo‘d, cleanse thetongue, 'palate, and stomach, cause gentle apd regular laxation, and, as a. necessary corollary, induce a. clear and fresh complexion. A person who in- dulges in fruit diet during summer will rarely feel that oppressive heaviness after meals. which is so commonly complained of, or be inconvenienced by heat rash. A heavy meal of animal food couduces to oppression, excessive heat, slow and irregular digestion, accumulation of the products of decomposi- tion. For a diet during hot weather we would recommend a liberal amount of fruit, either“ directly before or at breakfast, banishing from .the table the customary bacon and salt or cured fish. From the midday meal of people who dine late we would eliminate entirely every particle of flesh, and substitute either solely composed of uncooked fruit and dry bread, brown or whole meal being preferable, or fruit and farinaceous puddings with milk. Great numbers of people, invalids and strong, active worker's alike, would find such a. change improve their health materially and increase their enjoyment of life to an extent of which they can hardly conceive without 8. trial. Fruit is of great medicinal value, for the free acid contained in it (in the case of the strawberry and gooseberry about one~and-a- half per cent, in that; of the raspberry and current rather more), besides being an ef- fective antiscorbutic, acts as a. calcareous disolvent. Free fruit diet, if persevered in more generally, would mean less gout, less gravel, less urinary, calculi, and other more or less kindred diseases. In most cases an orange or lemon would be a far better “ eye opener ” than the matutinal cup of tea or somewhat bilious rum and milk which can min of the public so delight in. BEA LT ll. u'All over Germany exist what are calleJ ‘ Sparclissen' (savings banks), which corres- pond in a measure to the endowment plan of the American assurance companies. The -best known is the ‘,\\’ilhelmscuSse,’ named after the Emperor, who is )ti patron. At the birth of a girl the father and mother in- sure her (kanfen sie ein) in such a case for as they are able to bestow on the future of their newborn baby girl. The amount is paid annually. The mass lays out the mo- ney in behalf of the insured, at interest, chiefly in real estate, In this way the mo- ney accumulates, and at 18, on her majority, the girl is the possessor of a snug little capi- tal. This will serve her to sludy any favor- ed profession, go to some good conservatory, or start in business ; and last, but not least, buy her trousseau, if she has a chance to follow Woman’s truest mission. Now, why can not well-to-do Amsrican women estab- lish} such a way of providing for their less fortunate sisters. What a. blessed gift from a godmother to a poor little gix 1 such an in- surance Would be. I truly believe it would give zeal and encouragement to many true, poor parents, if by this small economy they could help to Irovide for their dear ones. It is better than a life assurance, for it takes away the “sting of death”â€".â€"-all may live and enjoy the fruit of their economy. How much better a yearly outlay would be, for people in moderate circumstances, than in costly toys and extravagant dress, by which children are brought up to expectations. A pretty story is told by a. newspaper correspondent of a. little Italian child sent out from Boston for a. week in the country. When the time approached for her coming back to town she asked the women having charge of the party if she could not take some grass home. She said there was so much grass in the country she thought perhaps somebody would spare her a. bit, and she had reasoned out in her wise little head that a turf would be more sure to live than a. flower; “because,” she explaimed, “it has so many roots they’d be sure not to all die.” A turf was given her, set into a. square tin box, and all winter it was care- fully tended in the dingy sttic where the child’s family lived. And the prettiest part of it all was that in Christh Week a. little pimpernel that had sprung in the midst of the turf put out two tiny red blossoms. The child was happier over her flowers than many people are over a whole conservatory of splendid blooms. It is a grave mistake for the multitudes of paor students of both sexes to crowd to Baris in search of the rudiments of educa- tion in the art and science. Most of these might have learned their incapacity by studying a few years at home. The craze for art is beyond all comprehension. Young girls by the dozens, without parents or guardians, and women of mature age, leav- ing husbands and children, struggle here during long years, in a. vain effort to win distinction in the arts, only in the end to be doomed for the most pert, to positive failure. “One who knows,” says that in the mat~ ter of dress ladies will do well to pay quite as much attention to what it is supposed Will remain unseen by the general run of her friends and acquaintances as they do to the outward and visible parts of their toilette. A handsome dress and stylish hat are all very well as far as they go, but they may go a. very little way, if the skirts are of a. doubtful whiteness or if the wearer feels afraid to lift them when crossing a. muddy street fqr fear of betraying the condition of her "stockings- Besides an accident may happen, and then picti‘xr‘e the confusion of a. woman who recovers frum a. fainting fit to find herself with her dress open and haf a. dozen strangers contemplating a soiled cor- set the whalebones of which project from their seams, or a. coarse chemise that has been worn a. week. It would be well if young women were taught early in life that there is a. false shsme and an uffectation of modesty as un- lovely as any cmrseness and which disgusts and repels as effectively as brazenness. To be on the qui vive for innuendoes, to have a. smart faculty for extracting the hitters of evil from any good, is all wrong and all im- modest. To see harm where harm is not intended is immodest. The young woman who thought she shonld die of shame because some gentlemen came into the gallery Where she was alone with the statue of the Venus of Milo, who fell into confusion and blushed mightily, advertised a. modesty that was possibly only skin deep. A blush is some- thing sacred to pure womanhood, and it is a. sad spectacle for thoughtful eyes to note a young woman sofar gone in the improprieties that she pretends to be shocked at things which simple. unsflected candor is far from thinking on at allâ€"Catharine Cole. The present difference in price in all kinds of clothing enables some travellers to almost pay for their voyage. No doubt our distin- guished statesmen, both Republicans and Democrats, who are now in Europe, and who have advocated protection in the halls of Congress, will lay in a. supply of clothes for some time to come, while the laboring masses at home will go on paying high prices for similar articles. Some say they come here to live more cheaply, as house rent, clothes, servants, amusements, can be obtained for less money here than in the United States. If these European Americans were as rational in their expenditure at home as here, the dif- ference would be trifling. In America they live in large houses! keep horses and carri- gts, entertain company. Here they keep modest apartments. drive in cabs, and give a few dinner parties. E.

One hearsa. good deal abéut the ‘i itchen mothers " and the “ parlor dang t‘er'sJ’ Many times this is the fault of the mother herself. She loves her girl and. wishes her young life to be free from _lda_.re._ .and work. She looks back herself, perhaps, to the time when she was a happy, free-heart- ed girl as the happiest time of her life and she wishes her daughter to enjoy her home and remember it in after days as the one pleasant place on earth. She is proud of her child‘s White hands and does not wish them to get rough and brown in such homely domestic service as making bread' and washing dishes.
