THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. Mra. ELEANOR KIRK'S LETTER. IittooK!.tN, N. Y Dec. 1837. W. U. Whltnev in c.r,',Uu.A with tho lnildablu Intention lng an institution for tho thorough ilomestlo education of girls who ex pect to earn their living as eookn, ohnmbei-ina'.tl, nursos and waitresses. Whether this plan will work or not, remains liko other uveal and humnnn ideas to bo tested by experience. But tho servant girl quostlon is a very touchy and dolleato ono, and grows moro ami inoro loticuy every year. When Amcricau girls prefer tho hard cocfiuod work of factories and shops insmucinnt tooa anu scam clothing to pleasant homos in kind and reOned families, it seems as if tho evolution of tho foreign maid is not particularly hopeful. But money and brains aro tho levers that move tho world, and they may raise the lovel of intelligence in this resiiect. Mrs. Vanderbuilt said to havo remarked of this scheme "What courage, what amazing faith in humanity. I micht havo canceled suoh a project from a man who never had anything to do wuh BcrvantB, or a woman who had taught school or writ ten vofaes most of her lifo, but from a woman who knows ovcry phaso of the. Duemess it is asioumiiing. Uf courso every housekeeper will feel called un on to do whit she oan to help tho good work.'' Thero is nothing that Jenny Lind valued so much as tho patch-work quilt presented to Her by tho childron of tho United States, and which ac cording to her frequently expressed dosire, was buried with her. It seems strange that eo noblo and intelligent a woman should havo made such a heathenish request. An article that was so dear to her would have been a joy foreyer to those who loved lior. but in thb gravo it is simply a mouldy rag, of no service to its owner or any body elso. "Tho dear American chil dron, tho famous singer was wont to sav as she caressed tho pretty gift. "How many are dead I wonder, how many are married and happy with families of their own, and how many have gone astray ?" Soft flat muffs of fur or of material to match the outside garment ornament ed with ribbon bows, or tasteful passH nientarie will bo much worn this win ter. A scientific and a conscientious physician of this city declares that muffs should always be carried in really cold weather, and that the wrists should be proteoted by woolen wrist lets. He claims to havo had cases where acute pneumonia could be di rectly traced from exposure of tho hands to tho cold, and concludes by remarking that a number six kid glove on a number seven hand in tho dead of winter is a fashion that must have been set by the devil himself. It really seems as if woman of means and influence wero beginning to feel their responsibility in the matter of starvation wages for their miserable sisters. "Come with mo to v men tioning a well-known dry goods estab lishment, said one rich mans nte to another, "and I will show you some of the most astounding bargains in underclothing." "All right, '' said her companion. "Come with me first, and then if yon still desire it, we -will go therV' The two ladies drove to a tenement house in a wretched street, and after mounting four flights, of stairs wero admitted into a stifling apartment whore on a bod propped up with a chsir sat an invalid finishing off the exact under garments which had lately been so enthusiastically expati atod upon. Hero in this hole, on two (canty meals a day four adults includ ing the invalid a girl twenty-four in consumption, and a mother with spinal disease, a daughter fourteen, and a boy eiht lived on the income drived from makint: o nbirate night dress for two dollars a doz. Uread, tea and occasion ally bits of dry fih constituted the bill of fare from weeks' end to weeks' end. Tho result of this visit was some nourishing food, a cotiplo of months rent, and a vow registered to hiro all Bitch garments made at living prices. The working girls of New York aro now attempting organization as the only way "of relief from this terrible state of things. If every woman who oan afford it would make the same vow, and those who cannot would he willing to mako their own garments thoro would have to he a revolution in these mitter. It i time wo all ask crt with Thomas Hood, "Why shnnld bread be so dear and flesh and blood so cheap." A combination of black watered silk and faille francais is now very fashion able for dresses. Worth, says that tho end of drapery has arrived, and that there are really no more ways of loop ing and festooning. The most stylish di-nses now ara those that aro either nhirrcd at tho baok, or pleated and hung ivithont any restraining hitch to tho bottom of the skirt. Thero is nothing so comfortable as a Jong cloik for the evory day shopping and visiting occasion IVsearo made lopo and consists of four forms only, with bell sleeves or bIohvos out in long point.

This ideal summer abiding place is wilioughby t'ark, and bids fair to rival Bar lj arbor and other popular resorts on account of its near ness to historic Cape Ann, its. great groves in close proximity to the. ocean, and tho utter freedom from malaria. This spot is warmly recommended by physicians for tho.ir patiputs who suffer from bronchial or neuralirio troubles. "I am sorry you do not take up tho cudgels for prohibition," writes a dear friend whose whole heart is in the cause,' for it is the most vital cpiestiou boforo tho world to-day." Nobody living can moro earnestly deplore tho result of intemperance than I do. When I sou young men coming out of grog shops, and know the misery that these places biiug to our liomes, my houl is wroth within me, and I feel as if I could teai them brick from brick.

Kl.KANOlt Kiiik. Bill Nye's Avio to Girls. TltOWltlTS 8UaOE3TEI BY MISS fOSTKn's lstritoMMU mahiuaok in WISCONSIN. I nm sorry to into that within tho past few days several moro pcoplo havo married for a joke, among thorn a young lady, near Madison, wis., who was out lor a walk, and at tho suggest ion of a party named Pons, married him. Tho young lady whoso name was Foster, realizing that sho could marry Mr. Fobs without changing tho letter on tho tidy which alio had al ready made, preparatory to keeping house, did not stop to consider tho great responsibility which she assumed by ruarryluc an unknown man. but boldly launched herself upon tho gtcat loamy sea ot matrimony. Much has beon said about this irn promptu method of marriage but still people go on encouraging dlvorco by hurriedly acquiring a husband from tho great five cent counter of human ity. Miss Foster, it soams, was tho daugh ter ot a millionaire who edits a saw mill in Wisconsin, and who could havo boarded her as -long as sho lived. To tho casual observer it wonld seem that no temptation could woo a young lady from a home whero all day long hiio could near tho sq leal ot tho com plaining saw mill and the snoro of tho planing mill, turning out matched flooring, 2x1 scantling nnd dressed culls, nnd yet Miss Foster forgot the buzzsaw, with whiuh sho had been prono to monkey, tho gentle skid, the xxxx shingles, the moist slab, tho dummy joist, the select fencine and its finishing lumber, in order to fleo to the arms of a stranger. Matrimony is, in all cases, a serious matter but it is doubly serious when it is tampered with in a flippant and trifling manner on the start, only to bring sorrow, chagrin, complaint, an ser, joinder, rejoinder, surrejoinder, butter, rebutter and surrebutter, in harmony, parsimony and alimony at lant. Oh, girls, why will you do so? Why will you forget tho sheltering arms of your parents to take up arms against a sea of trouble? Why will you turn your back on the lumber business to marry a man without a change of canes to his baok? Why will you weary of tho old homo to see out a stranger who will break your North American heart and send you down, perhaps to a damp and undesirable drunkard's gravo. Try to get acquainted with the man whom you propose to wed,. As you get moro thoroughly acquainted, try to get a whiff of his breath. Seo that ho1 is temperate. If you find that he loves the flowing bowl, and that his hot breath as it courses through the douch ed teeth scorches the cotton in your ears, draw yourself to your full height. crack your heels together twice in rap id succession and go away. lilLL JNYK. A Carboniferous Monster. DlSCOVEItr OF THE PETRIFIED REMAINS OF AN ANIMAL. Mr, S. R. Dawson, of Perov. War ren county, Iowa, claim to havo dis covered the petrified remains of some huge monster near that place. He- was interviewed Saturday respecting his discovory. He says that his. atten tion was attracted to it when, passing several roas distant irora wiiere it lies on tho bank, and almost in .the bed of the Des Moines river. He. has made fresh measurements, and mvea as the total length of the body, without the head, forty feet. At. nipo. feet from the tail be describes it as four feet five inches, wjdeL, The. head seems to havo been tlotaicnjedfroin tho body, and lies abonnt forty.ftve feet distant un the stream. Mr. Dawson sayB in Bupport of his theory,that this is the petrified re mains ot some extinct monster, that is unliko tho store formation of that vicinity, and is not tie same all the way through. He says- that he finds a spar or quiirtito formation whero the intestinal canal and) Wood vessel should be, while a different formation is seen in other part. Tho seneral annear- anco of tho deposit is that of a darkish blue stono turning grayish on the outside. It was placed on the hlopo of a dip that lies at an angle of about 20 degrees, dipping to tho southwest. He is very conbrtent that it is really the tone remains ot somo hugo amphibian ftho carboniferous ace. No effort has been made to get a xcicntifio analy sis of the find, though the atteution of the State Goolngist will be called to it, and it is hoped that its identity and antecedents will bo established. Philadelphia 'Wjomen. A question! much discussed in par lor- and clubs, says the Philadelphia Times, is whether beauty is dying out. imuu iirupuuiiioiia appear to uo very generally accepted: First, that beauty among- women and young girls in tho larger cities is rarer than five or ten years ago; second, that ugly women are moro numerous, and third, that the higher and more exclusive tho circle,, the more fashionable and elegant the Nurroundiugs, the less, as a rule, the physical attractiveness of the women. That thero is a great decadenco in phy sical attractiveness among the young women and girls just entering wom anhood in Uit cities caunot he-doubled. Take the most popular thoroughfares, tne theatres and the great public- gath eriugs, suoh as balls, and. how rare is a genuinely pretty girl or beautiful wo man. it is not many years since it was a very ordinary occurrence to find ! a girl or woman, on Chestnut street so unmistakable pretty that passers-by turned to look at her. Tho songs, tho ballads, the poetry and tho fiction were lull of reference to beauty, whereas now beauty is but rarely sung. and even in fiction raoBt of the heroines aro commonplace. Hut tho scarcity ol beauty is not confined to fashionable socioiy, u circumstance that goes to show that fashionable dissipation is not the wliolo root ot the trouble alter nil. Farm Notes. It has been found that unlpbato of iron will destroy moss in grass lands, without injury to tho grass. A prosperous farmer saystho best crops ho ever raised were obtained by spreading manuro on over snow. Tho farm garden Is tho indox to tho state of progress of tho farm, and tho comfort, health and happiness of tho family. Ammonia from tho stables is very injurious to carriago varnish, therefore, tho carriago should bo housed in a dry placo somewhat removed. Parsnips contain moro nutriment than turnips or carrots, aud make sup crior food for dairy stock or fattening hogs, and, of all root crops, uono keep better. Fibrous matters may bo reduced to a manorial stato by tho aid of heat, moisluro and earthy matter. Wbere theso ere applied, hay, stalks or weeds may be rapidly rotted down. Experiments with commercial ferti lizers indicato that nitrogenous man ures appear to bo of littlo use. the seo ond Bcason on grass. Superphosphate and kainifbad moro lasting effect. Itioh, moist soil is tho best adapted to plum trees. If the lions aro permit ted to circulate Ireoly aboat the tries they will fertilize the soil and inter fere with tho itironds. of th curculio Hogs will almost winlcr on cloa cut when in full bloom, cured and pm whero it can. bo had, so tho hogs can bo foddered with it twice a day. Tho will cat It as hay, or better if cut and wcttsd, with a littlo bran or meat put on. it. When n cow on nnchonged. food bo gino lo dry off sho also begins to fat Vn. Putting on uVbIi is all right if net ovcrdouu nor commenced too carl). A few weeks, or perhaps two or thru months, if milk is not especially val uable, may be given to bringing the cow into condition. Every farmer in the land should by all monis keei a few sheen. Thev cost littlo in tho first placo. The cost ior uie sneep will never bo n.issed. Nothing is. nicer in the soring than a quarter of lamb. The majority of tho farmers aro not convenient to market, and consequently can not obtain fresh meat when most needed that is, in hot weather. A lamb can be eaten by most families before it spoils, and if not, it is easy to make an arrangement with neighbors to take a quarter and roturn it when they kill. By all means Keep a tew sheep. un somo larms enough straw is wasted to mako a handsome income. All straw is poor food, as it lacks in both tho elomcnts of growth and fat. j.ijo piuiiuruuus aro so smau mat. ani mals can not eat enough to make much gain. Thev will live on it. but tho farmer wants moro. By the addition of a little meal the straw can bo sold in a good market on tho farm and bo had for manure at the samo time. This is just what the farmer wants, to con vert into, a fertilizer all tho fodder and grain ho oan which has paid a good profit upon itself in other ways, as meat batter or cheese. When this is don tho farm will always be profitable. "I want you to send this messago to Miss Brown at Galveston. Her mother is not exoected to live," said a Texas granger to an Austin telegraph opera tor. Operator takes tho message, situ down at his table and begins to send it over tho wires.
