The first time I met a camel train near
Peking I reined up my pony and feasted
my eyes upon it. And although I hare
seen thousands since then, I find them just
as amusing as ever. The two-humped or
Bactrian camels of Korthern China are
much bigger than those we know at home,
and I hare seen few tights so picturesque as
a string of them approaching over these
brown plains. A dozen are fastened to
tether by a cord attaching the nose of one to
the tail of the ether; a bell, a couple of feet
long, is hung round the neck of the last to
warn the driver in front by its ceasing if the
line breaks anywhere; a medley of bales and
boxes and clothing is slung on their backs:
ruddy-faced Mongols, dressed in scarlet and
yellow, with ornaments of gold and silver
in profusion, sit up aloft and smile at you
as yon pass: the great shaggy beasts
step softly along, ingeniously out of
step, litting their sponge-like feet and
dropping them again -with perfect
and unvarying deliberation, the whole
train moving with the silence of a dream,
broken only by the jang-jang of the solitary
bell. Their big brown eyes look you straight
in the face and there is something pathetic
and reproachful in their glance. ,tYou are
laughing at me," they seem to say, "and I
know I am an extraordinary looking creat
ure. But then, if you only knew it, so are
you, and it would be kinder to think of my
services than to laugh at my shape." All
day long, one street of Peking is filled with
these picturesque processions, gaunt, wretch
ed creatures, with worn-out coats and cov-

from the western hills into Peking; and the
far finer and better kept animals bearing
tea away up into the .North. During all
my stay "in Peking I longed for the moment
when 1 too shonld ride away at dawn toward
Mongolia, in the worn tracks of these
strange beasts and their merry masters.
TBATXXHJG THEOCOH A IABTBINTH.
My pony -was a little creature not much
bigger than a dog and with a white coat as
long and thick as a Polar bear's. The mafoo
had bought aim a few days before from a
Mongol for 20 taels, and he had never had a
foreign saddle and bridle on till 1 mounted
him. Therefore tbe all-day ride was not so
monotonous as usual, and for the first five
miles' it was even exciting. "We started at
daybreak, and the sun was veil above us
betore we 'got outside the two gates of
Peking. Then the mafoo took the lead.
Once in the open country, -we -were on a
(rreat alluvial nlain. dotted with mnrl tinnM
Broken by irregular patches of verdure and
cultivation, laced in all directions by dozens
of bridle-paths, and ending on our lelt in
the dim outlines of the "Western Hills, the
summer sanitarium of Peking. "We plunged
into the labyrinth of roads and the mafoo
threaded his way among them without a
moment's hesitation. Afterward I found
that he had been over them 46 times before,
but for my own part I could see hardly any
signs by which to distinguish one from an
other. Till 11 o'clock we trotted steadily on,
reaching then a small town called Sha-'ho,
where we stoppedan hour for rest and tiffin.
Here already loreigners are scarce and I was
the center of much curiosity, keen and in
quisitive, but quite good natnrcd. Crossing
a river over two very old, broad fiat bridges
orVtrbite marble, built curiously at an obtuse-angle
to each other, we emerged again
into the plain. This grew more nneven as
we advanced, till at last we are riding along
a narrow path on the sloping stony bank of
a dry water course. The stones grew bigger
and more numerons, till they could no
longer be navigated, and theh my guide
struck up to the right, and an hour's detour
across country, with half a mile of such had
going at the end that I got off and led my
pony, brought us at 3 o'clock to the fortified
city of Nan-k'ou, 30 miles from Peking, our
resting place for the night
PICTTJBESQUE KAK-K'OTJ.
Nan-k'ou is a very interesting little place.
Its wall is in ruins, but that only makes it
the more picturesque; on the hills right
and left of the entrance to the pass which
the city is supposed to guard, are two
sprightly little towers; a dozen others are
just visible dotted about the chain of hills
around it; its one broad street, paved once
with great blocks of stone, now worn away
and upset till a pony'can hardly make his
way at all over their slippery, rolling sur
face, is crowded with traffic of men and
beasts, and every fifty yards a wide arched
doorway leads into a spacious inn vard.
This street is part of the great commercial
"highway between China and all her neigh
bors of the North. Through it a constant
stream of camels and ponies and donkey
and even laden coolies passes, bringing
Mongol produce to Peking, and taking
brick-tea back from Tientsin to Kiackta, on
the Russian frontier. And through this
street this stream has passed for who knows
how many years thousands, at any rate.
Next morning we embarked upon little
white donkeys, the pass beine impractica
ble for ponies. This road in its glory is said
to have been paved with great smooth granite-blocks;
now in the valley it is a broken
mass of rough stones in a river bed, through
which a stream runs; while during the
ascent and at the height of the pass it is a
bad mountain road obstructed by great
masses of rock. A couple of hours' riding
and walking brought us to another walled
town called Chu-yung-kuan, famous for a
heavy arched stone gateway, the whole in
side of which is covered with" sculptures
in low relief and a Buddhist inscrip
tion in six languages Chinese, Thib
etan, Mongol, Sanscrit, and two others
that X could not get anyone to identify.
Prom the other side of this gateway
the pass of Nank'ou is spread out before
you, a brown, barren, rock-strewn gloomy
valley, rising and narrowing till it disap
pears in the hills, through which an endless
file of brown camels is slowly passing, fill
ing the air with the dost of their feet and
the clangour of their bells. Por an hour or
more we jog on. Then when the pass has
become wearisome and I am thousands of
miles away in thought, my mafoo rides up
beside me and silently points to the hill top
on the right. I strain my eyes and there,
sure enough, the sky-line far awav is broken
by tho crenellated ontlioeof the Great "Wall
itself. "This," said Marco Polo when he
saw it, "is the country of Gog and Magog."
I THB GEr AT VALt
TheGreat "Wall of China is, after all, only
a wall. And it wis built with the same
object as every other wall to keep people
from coming where ther wtrc not wanted.
.Mr. Toole's famous account of it is as
'histosically accurate as any. "The most
important building in China," he is accus
tomed, to say,-"is the Chinese Wall, built
to Tceep the Tartars out. It was built at
such an enormous expense that the Chinese
never got over it But the Tartars did. And
the way they accomplished this feat was as
follows: One went first and t'other went
arter." It differs from other walls in only
two respects, its age and its size. The
former is 2,102 years, the latter is such that
it is the only work of human hands on tbe
globe visible from the moon. (I take no
responsibility for either of these statements.)
The Chinese name for it is Wnn-li-ch'ang-eh'eng,
"the wall ten thousand 11 long."
And the gate on this high way is called Pa-ta-ling,
and is about 60 miles northwent of
Pekiug and 2,000 feet above the sea. Be
yond it lies Mongolia,
Half an hourai'ter this first glimpse I stood
nponthe wallittelf. Theateway is a large
vuuuone,,iritn( square tower upon ft,
"which a dozen old oneslie in ft heap, show
'in that at cn&time the road was seriously
defended at this point. A Tough stairway
leads to the top which is about 20 feet wide,
with a crenellated parapet on each side, and
you can Aalk along it as far as you can see,
with here and there a scramble where it has
fallen in a little. On the whole it is in ex
cellent repair, having of coursebeen mended
and rebuilt many times. Every half mile or
so is a little square tower of two stories. The
wallitself varies a good deal in height ac
cording to the nature of the ground, aver
aging probably about 40 feet. On one side
Mongolia, as yon see it. is a vast undulating
brown plain; on the other side China is a
perfect sea ol brown hills in all directions,
and across these stretches the Great Wajl.
On the hill top, through the valleys, up and
down the sides, it twists in an unbroken
line, exactly like a huge earth worm sud
denly turned to stone. Por many miles it is
visible in both directions, and when you can
no longer trace its entire length you can still
discover it topping the hills one after an
other into the remote distance.

And when you reflect that it is built of
bricks, in almost inaccessible places, through
uninhabited countries, that each brick
must have been transported on a manjs
shoulders enormous distances, And thai it
extends for 2,000 miles, or "one-twelfth pi
the circumference of the globe, you begin to
realize that vou are tooking upon the most
colossal achievement of human hands. The-
bricks. are so big and heavy that I had to
hire a little donkey to Tarry off two of
them. This is the only piece of "Vandalism
to which I plead guilty on this trip, but
the temptation was Irresistible, and "they
never will be missed." Nowadays, of
course, the wall serves no defensive pur
pose whatever and t is not guarded in any
wav. -Not a soul lives within miles of it at
most points, and it is but a land mark for
the Mongols' camel trains, a stupendous
monument to the great past of China, and
an evidence of Celestial greatness and en
terprise gone never to return.
After taking a dozen photographs, and re
flecting how comical were tbe learned argu
ments produced in England a couple of
years ago to prove that there was no such
thing as a Great Wall of China, we turned
back to Nank'ou, reaching there at night
fall. Next morning betore daylight we
started for the tombs of the great Ming
aynasiy, a miles away, ana as lanious in
China as the wall itself. These lie in a
pleasant green valley surrounded with an
almost complete circle of high wooded hills
an ideal spot lor an .Emperor s grave.
There are 13 of them, called the Shih-san-ling,
'disposed in the form of a crescent, but
the orescent is so extensive that only four or
five of them can be seen at once. I visited
the largest," the tomb of TTung-lo.who reigned
about 1100.. A square of perhaps 200 yards
across the face is surrounded with a high
wall of plain red brick. The side of the
hill forms the fourth side and entrance is
had through a pair of ordinary wooden
doors. When yon enter, the spectacle is not
at all striking. There are a few little
pavilions on either side of you, each cover
ing a carved stone tortoise or an inscribed
tablet, and in front a long low temple
shaped building with an approach of steps
and balustrades in carved white marble.
GLOOMY MAGNIFICENCE.
- Inside is gloom, through-whichyou faintly
discern the magnificent outlines of 32 enor
mous wooden columns, each a solid log of
hewn and polished teak 12 feet round and
32 feet high. Where they came from un
less it was from Burmah or how they were
conveyed hither, nobody knows, but their
grandeur i indisputable. In the center,
upon a sort of stone table, stands a perfectly
plain tablet of red lacquer, a couple of feet
high and a foot wide, bearing the posthumus
title of Yung-lo, "The perfect ancestor and
literary Emperor." But the ancestor him
self is not here. Passing out behind the
great columns and again crossing the gar
den, at the edge of the hillside there is a
solid square tower of brick and granite, sup
porting a kind of obelisk. The sarcophagus
itself is deepen tbe hill, and upon the obe
lisk a long inscription narrates the deeds
and extols the virtues of the long-departed
Min. On tbe whole, however, China dis
appoints you here oncemore, as everywhere
and always. The situation is finely chosen
for the last resting place of immortal em
perors, but man'shandiworkrather weakens
than enhances the effects of nature. There
is no suggestion, for instance, of the solem
nity of that cathedral aisle:
"Where the warriors in the gloom
Watcho'er Maximilian's tombf
and there is nothing to arrest the hasty foot
step lest even "the hushed tread"
"Should burst the bands ofthe dreamless sleep
That bold the mighty dead."
As vou ride away you pass through an
avenue of stone carvings, where pairs of
jtnignis ana courtiers ana stone lions and
camels and elephants glare at yon from each
side. They are enormous, being some 15
feet high and carved out of a solid block of
stone; and wonderful, for you canuot imag
ine how they were (transported. But they
are utterly dwarfed by the hills around
them and soon your only recollection of
them is only that your pony positively re
fused to pass between them and ended by
bolting with you. And I may as well con
clude by giving my little Polar bear of a
pony credit for the way in which he trotted
back to Peking, so as to get there before the
gates closed, in all 40 miles in four hours,
with three-quarters of an hour for rest and
food. I have known costlier horseflesh
make poorer progress. And when we got
back again at last to Tientsin my mafoo sold
him to the innkeeper for twice what he paid
for him. Hbkby Nobmait.

Aitsonia, COXK., May 1L Two aged
women have celebrated their birthdays the
past week, and it is a coincidence that each
has begun on her 103d year, last Monday
Mrs. Mehitable Straton Dayton, of South
Glastonbury, Teceived congratulations on
herl02d birthday. During the day hun
dreds of people from Hartford, Meriden
and neighboring towns called, and the
day was one long reception, at the close of
which Mrs. Dayton said, she was no more
tired than on any day. Mrs. Dayton is
slightly deaf, bnt with this exception hern

regularly as they come, and is able to main

one. She has been a widow 40 years.
Last Saturday Mrs. Betsy Averill, who
has before been mentioned in The Dis

home of her son. Deacon S. J. Averill, in
New Preston. In the same house resides
her grandson, H, O. Averill, and her great
grandchildren we also sheltered by the same
roof. Mrs. Averill's birthday is on May 5,
but it was celebrated on Saturday this year.
A reception was held at which her relatives

occasion was a merry one, and Mrs. Averill
was not the least lively person present. Her

AiHEir, S. 0., May lO.'-The poets have
all written and rhapsodied over beautiful
June as the month of roses, hut here in the
South in early May the roses are a-blowing
with illimitable and 'magnificent profusion.
In every garden along the streets, every
where, are roses, the beautiful La France,
GibiredeTMjon, Marechal Niel, Puritan,
Jacquejnijiot, Yictoria, Grand Duke Charles,
Sbuvpnirtineenof the Prairie every va
riety are jtoibo, seen with such wealth of
bloom as is never beheld in the North. The
whole airis perfumed with rose's, ' honeysuckles.'"-
sweet old-fashioned sinks, and
almost very flower that grows.
If people in the South ever get up energy
enoush to 'write poetry, Thompson's "Sea
sons" will be completely upset and Iong
fellow and Whittier, who have glorified and
made famous the "New England Spring,"
will be found a month or more behind time,
with their robins, and bluebirds, and lilacs,
and primroses, and cowslips in sweet and
beauteous May. But the Southern poet,
with all this inspiration of flowers and
sweetness and wealth of beauty in early
rosy May under his nose has not yet immor
talized himself in any Miltonio fashion
nor even given any picture of nature as seen
in the sunny South as equal to good old
John O. Whittier on Korthern spring and
winter. Latent inspiration amid such beau
teous scenes there must be, but Southerners
are too Jazy to work it out into immortal
verse or put it into words that glow and
burn.
'MID SWEET PERFUMES.
On a piazza, shaded by, it would seem, a
million roses,' white and yellow, more beau
tiful than can be expressed in "words, and
overlooking a garden full of roses, yellow
jasmine, fragrant pinks and honeysuckle
and other brilliant odorous blossoms sat a
company of ladies, all from the North, who
werednnting in, the delightful air, and in
haling the perfume of the sunny Southern
garden. It waj a woman's meeting devoted
to cheerful gossip, small talk and fancy
work and altogether a merry company of
old girls, representing perhaps half a dozen
of the progressive Northern States. They
were engaged in what men .are wont to call
useless work, hut as an accompaniment to
running tongues, and as tending to the cul
ture of the esthetic, and the beautifying of
homes, it may be counted as work of more
utility and less expensive than smok
ing cigars, or playing billiards, or
horse racing on the boulevard. One
was ornamenting in outline sketch
a bnreau cover in cobwebs and Iris
design, that was so greatly admired that the
worker was impelled to a vast spurt of in
dustry so as to show its elegance when done.
Another was knitting up orange worsted to
make oranges for a fancy tree at a fair,
where the crop of oranges that adorned it
were to be utilized as twine bags and sold at
$1 a piece for the benefit of the heathen.
Another was drawing threads prepartory to
working in the "hour-glass pattern" and
"cobwebs" and "double matrimony
stitches," and all the rest of the intricacies
of drawn work for a tray cover, and doylies
to enrich the dining table at home. An
other was "doing" washable silk embroid
ery of the most delicate description on
DAINTT DEVICES
for the luncheon table. Anothermore given
to the practical was knitting silk stockings,
and another equally devotedto- the-userttl
was knitting ribbed silk shirts which cost
like "sixty" at the stores, but as the profit
of picked-up minutes realized more than 100
percent " These and other occupations made
that piazza a regular working bee equal to
any sewing society. It was largely the re
sult of reaction from the exertion of doing
"the lions." of the town, which, though few
in number, had been made tbe most of in
the line of something to do and somewhere
to go. They had visited the schools and ex
hibited vast interest in the advancement of
the cute little "darkies," they had done
"Sand river," and the "colored graveyard,"
and the "cotton-ginning," and the "cake
walks," and the "Schutzenfest," and tired
ont they had settled down for a quiet time
on tne piazza in reciting cnairs, a state of
pleasure so. mysterious and unknown to
loreign writers on American subjects like
Max O'Bell.
In this state of beatitude so inadequate
ly pictured they discussed men and things,
as might be expected, and principally the
former, as women are wont to do. A text
was found in an article setting forth the
views of sundry and divers men setting forth
their ideal of wives and their hope of secur
ing them.
In these views of a dozen men as to what
they wanted in a wife it was pretty plainly
shown that what they desired was a wife
not so much as a lover and a companion and
a dear familiar friend as one so gifted with
physical beauty, so up to the highest mark
in housekeeping, so endowed with pretty
accomplishments, so possessed of the virtue
of economy as to be always able to make one
dollar do the work of two or mavbe thrpp
so unselfish as to be willing to give up glad
ly all their own likings and desires in defer
ence to those of men, and so
HAPPY TO MDflSTEB
unto their husbands in all things, and ac.
cept their doctrines in all matters, as to be
glad and willing to become "door mats" for
their feet, and to sew on buttons and serve
as kitchen drudges as if such work were
felicity enough for them to hope for or
dream of. These ideals of wives as por
trayed by men were not expected to have
brains in fact brains seemed to be held as
rather an objection and as tending rather to
independence than the subjection deemed to
be so lovely and .desirable in a wife. They
were to give up all for love and deem it a
good bargain to find husbands to accept
their adoration and ministration. Xike
most men, these brethren showed by their
expressed ideals that what they wanted were
beautiful beings, whose like was never seen
on sea or land. Not one of his own showiner

to become an able housekeeper, a good
manager, a fine domestic financier, must
necessarily have brain, and just such
brains too as men possess who run mills
manage manufactories, and achieve success
in any sort of business. One man objected
to his wife knowing too mnch of matters
outside the home on the ground that it
would make her discontented would not
care to have her take any interest in politics
as he could attend to that he wanted her
thoughts centerd alone upon him and the
family, and especially did he want an
economical wife.who could make both ends
meet on a small income. He' did not state
what he proposed to give in return for all
this affection and devotion and perfection,
but his description showed clearly enough
that he expected some beautiful and bril
liant girl to be delighted to receive her
board and clothes on his own conditions.

Another man, in addition io all the ex
cellences and virtues and beauties that
most become a woman, wanted his wife to
have an'IncomeDf herntrn nn1 to his. and
announced boldly that only in such a union
could the ideal marriage be found.
THE LADIES TALK.
The sisters on the piazza shouted as these
various ideal wives-were presented to their
notice.
"No men are such fools as to write all
that stufty'taid one well-to-do sister. "Those
yarns are all made up in the newspaper
offices. If they were true they would sim
ply shoV that the'trouble with marriage to
day Is that mechanics and workingmen
generally on small wages want to marry
girls whose education, cultuie and tasks
unfit them for such unions, and who, when
the first glow of happiness has faded, find in
the harsh graspings of poverty nothing but
discontent and disgust."
"Well, but," said the romantic old maid,
"love would sweeten everything. It would
give compensation for the hardness and
drudgery to know that it was done through
affection. It would keep a wife's heart
warm to know that by her work the man
she loved "was made happy."
"JGove! Pudgel" said the worldly-wise
woman whose lot had taken her over hot
ploughshares until she had been left the
rich widow of a stingy and penurious hus
band. "When pove'rty comes in at the
door love flies out or the window, and let no
girl forget it. Marriage is hard enough at
the best for any woman, but with poverty to
boot, it is simply an oft-told tale of hardship,
make-shift, drudgery and perpetual abase
ment.

and there are bad ones. Plenty of husbands
are faithful, fond and true, and, even though
poor, treat their wives so well that they are
happier however much of hardship they en
dure, than they would be with so one to
love."
"But, is it not pretty cool to demand
beauty, accomplishments, skill in manage
ment, .ability to cook wise judgment,
thrift, economy, and all other wifely virtues
with the offer of nothing in the way of re
turn but the companionship of a sap-headed
selfish man. Let another verse be added to
the litany, said another. Prom all such
men may the good Lord deliver ui forever

A X0TJNG GIRL'S BEADTIPDL BOOMS
AX EVEBLASTING TOPIC.
As a specimen of a morning's talk among
intelligent women the above is a short
sample, but it shows that the question of
marriage is constantly under discussion
everywhere, and since women are now
taking their own part as never before they
have done in the world's history some
food may be expected from the discussion
y both sides. Someone says that a millin
er's and dressmaker's account has often
proved to be the tiny germ of the perennial
thistle that grows up in many homes. But
as women must have bonnets and gowns
the point is how are they to be secured
without trouble as.rank as Canada thistles.
Moreover,swhen the sense, judgment, thrift
and ability to manage a home are deemed
essential why should men marry women
whom they flatter at aneels and bow down
to before the ceremony, but afterward they
make it unduly plain that wedlock is a
state in which they are to do as they please
and wives are to plod along as they must.
It stands to reason that such marriages are
not happy, and such wives are not the fond
ideals of men as pictured,;. To reach the
best happiness in" 'marriage men must alter
their ideals and manners. They must cease
to expect more than human nature from
women. Both parties are made of the same
stuff both have the same right in the pur
suit of happiness. If men want good wives
they must show themselves to be good men.
Bad wives are all too common, bnt they have

The nnmben of young husbands and
fathers in the possession of vast wealth is
as much a mark of the times as the 'vast
wealth. In the last generation men expected,
to workTiatiently for their fortunes in order
to enjoy them in theirold aee. The present
caprice of fortune, the lady on the wheel, is
to catch up the vouth behind her before
they have struck a blow for themselves.
It is for the most part the young men
who have built the fine'houses of to-day. In
these fine houses provision is necessarily
made for the young children of the family.
This, in its approved' form, is modeled after
the children's establishments in the great
houses of England. Perhaps the most cred
itable influence of Anglomania is seen in
the lodgment and training of children. The
difficulty is, as with all other customs, that
we cannot transport the atmosphere in
which these thrive.
In England the children's apartment is
not only separate in location, but has its own
staff of servants, is governed by its own
laws, and in all things is independent ofthe
routine ofthe main establishment in which
move the father, the mother and elders of
the family. The wet nurse is, as elsewhere,
a law unto herself. Except the Czar of Rus
sia, or some eastern potentate, she has no
rival in her absolutism. But her reign is
inevitably curtailed by the sprouting of the
infant teeth. When the child leaves the
nurse's arms, it enters into a world of law
and discipline. The social duties of a wom
an of position in England are obligatory and
absorbing. Her maternal1 duties are neces
sarily transferred to another. This is a part
ot'the established constitution of things
which find no parallel with us.
THE HITESEBY GOVEBNESS.
Accordingly a substitute! i provided. It
is the nursery governess. She is a woman
of gentle manners, if with limited educa
tion. This is her profession. She has passed
from family to family. All her antecedents
areknown. She has a professional pedigree
which is open to inspection, so carefully is
chosen the woman who is to be governOress
of this mimic realm.
She has no menial offices to perform, the
nursery maids do these under her super
vision. She regulates tbe lives of her little
charges, establishes her own system of re
wards and punishments, looks after the
health, supervises the walks, hears the first
lessons, and begins the cultivation of those
manners which social standards for cen
turies expeot English children to possess.
If a child needs the sea coast or delicate
lungs demand the south of Prance, she as
sumes the responsibility. In brief, she is a
person competent to discharge the most deli
cate duties of a mother, and such are in
trusted to her. This position she keeps un
til the education is sufficiently advanced to
transfer them to the governess.
Tbe life and education of the children in
the schoolroom is as separate from the family
life as that of the younger children. To the
gpverness is intrusted their education, man
ners and morals, She regulates the studies
and oversees the work of the masters. Tbe
schoolroom is attended by a schoolroom
maid, and the governess presides at the
daily meals. The appointments are simple
but requisite and under the care of special
servants. Por the governess there is no
humiliation in the position. Her duties
have been prescribed by unwritten laws,
her position is one of authority and within
lines she is supreme.
ENGLISH DISCIPLINE.
Education is a much more serious thing
in an English family than it is here even in
the best of schools, for nothing is permitted
to interfere with it Theaters and chil
dren's parties are interdicted. The gayety
of the house does not penetrate the school
room. Children live more simply, dress
more, simply, eat plainer food and spend
less money. It is doubtful whether an
American child could put up with the re
strictions that an English child accepts with
out comment so influential is an American
child in the household. I know of a voune
girl who changed her school five times, be
cause another girl went to another school,
because she didn't like the teacher, because
the lessons were easier, one caprice being as
good as another, and only at the fifth change
'did her masculine parent discover that she
might not be the best judge of schools. This
same girl had a larger allowance than I am
sure the daughters of the Duke of West
minster did at her age.
A separate establishment for children in
the English sense is impossible here, for
children in this country lire with their
parents not only share their roof and
meals, but their diversions, and are in a
way'their companions. There may be many
arguments doubtless to show that the
American system of early education is by
far the best. Nevertheless English ideas
have been followed, at least, in form, if the
education is wanting. In the ne.w houses a
certain portion is made over to the children.
The apartments consist of nursery, bed
rooms tor the older children, sitting room
and schoolroom. These are fitted up with a J
degree of luxury tbat nnas no parallel in
English homes.
THE VAKDEEBILT MTTBSEBT.
In Mrs. W. K. Tanderbilt's house the
nursery Js separated from her own apart
ments by her bathroom. The nursery is In
the Pirst Empire styles. The wood is ma
hogany, add with the exception of a few
classic lines, is without ornament The
walls are in pink and tinted into harmony
with the wood. The furniture is mahogany
mounted in brass, and was made abroad in
keeping with the style of the room. Con
necting with the nursery is the children's 1
morning and breakfast room. This is in
pine, painted gray-green, and reflects old
English styles, with lockers in the window
seats. A dumb waiter connects with the
butler's pantry and kitchen. Here the
children are supreme. They may set their
own table, wash their own dishes
and play at housekeeping in a truly
serviceable way. A window in this
room overlooks the Prancis L room
below which was the scene of the great ball
a few years ago. This room isjntended for
gala purposes "and, from their perch above,
the small people can look down on' the gay
doings below. The schoolroom contains all
the most approved appliances for making
the royal road smooth. Of tHese the ceiling
is, most original. Here, in fresco, is painted
the heavens and the planetary system and a
lesson in astronomy is always in order as it
continually stimulates and'prompts inquiry
from the growing young minds.
One of thebest-equfpped of these private
schoolrooms was that in Mrs. William E.
Hovt's house on Twin Island in the Sound.
Mrs. Hovt will be better remembered as
Janet Chase, the youngest daughter of the
Chief Justice, whose life is now largely
spent devoted to her daughter's education.
INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Mrs. Hoyt's artistic tastes have carried
her into the industrial arts; a skillful
worker herself, she has been the means of
enlisting a number of other people, and
particularly in the training of young boys
whom the laws of apprenticeship have ex
cluded from trades. Her children are
taught to share in these tastes. The school
room was not only fitted up with the necessi
ties for mental training, but wai also a
workshop. Here the boys worked in iron,
and the girls had their wood carving tables,
served their hours, and fashioned many
cunning things.
Children who are educated in this way
are placed under charge of & Swiss or Ger
man mid whd'hat' been brenght over for
the purpose. ..one, has i received, them from
&2SftSi-i.,
the arag of the nurse, and when their edu
cation has got beyond the nursery governess,
or the kindergarten, she still has charge ot
them, but masters and private teachers
carry on their mental training.- The resi
dent governess ana tutor ere not preferred
In private houses. Social matters are too
ohaotlo here to render the position com.
lorvaoie ior either the employer or em
ployed. Many women look on a governess
as a species of upper maid, to be called on
for thimble and needle if need be. The
native governess, on the other hand, wants
to be regarded as one of the family, and
feels i privleged to indulge her feelings at
fancied slights. The butler and upper
servants, on the other hand, persist in -regarding
her as one of them. I know of a
governess who was dismissed, the lady of
the house frankly avowing that the servants
resented waiting on her, and ir was easier to
replace her governess than her butler. The
resentment ofthe butler extends even to the'
visiting teachers.' -
AH'DNFLEASAN POSITION.
".It happens often and shows that 'wealth is
not all powerful ih New Tork society.
Women Deloneinp.kt the same an0I.1l circle
but whd have lost tneir-moneyare employed
by their friends as visiting teachers. One
ol, them tells me that when she goe&to.her,
lessons the butler .makes her waitln'.the
hall, or at the children's dinner qmits to
servo her, but when she is agoest at a din
ner party she receives his most distinguished
consideration. The governess in a house
has not nn enviable lite. Her only compan
ions are the children and they are fre
quently with tbeir parents. Even the mother
who may have a desire to be amiable, can
not vouch for her friends. A lady of prom
inent position here who has an educated
German lady in her household, and who
dines with her in the family, never enter
tains her when she has guests lest, as she
says, they might be rude to her. In this
sort of atmosphere It may be imagined in
the children's eyes the dignity of education
is not strengthened.
The fashion of the moment is the English
nursery governess, the great consideration
being her "English accent," which has far
outstripped the language of Prance. The
English nursery governess is the most sensi
ble fasnion that has yet prevailed in educa
tion, for she brings with her, her English
ideas on the subject of lessons, sweeties, di
versions, scruooings, ciotnes, spankings and
waiting on onesself. I have seen one of
these gaunt English women who looked as
if she had just stepped out of a caricature
of an "English Mees," having charge at a
watering place of three Boston cubs who
the year before had been the terror of the
house. The lessons went on with the regu
larity qf the schoolroom, the exercises and
the walks were as punctual as the cloaks.
She brought her charges to the table and
they ate what she prescribed, if they re
volted they were carried forth and duly
spanked, while their beautiful and fash
ionable mother composedly ate her dinner.
But-the most pleasing thing was to see them
carrying pitchers of water for their own
scrubbing and being taught to wait on
themselves. Before the season was over
the gratitude of the house almost resulted in
A. PUBLIC TESTIMONIAL.
The English governess brings with her her
English ideas of health. Here she is vastly
superior to the French and German gov
erness, nationalities that have never real
ized the saving grace of water and exercise.
These the American people realize and abet
the Englishwomen. American children of
leisure class are splendidly groomed little
animals. This is, of course, accompanied
by much unnecessary luxury. The appoint
ments of the dressing rooms of some chil
dren equal that of any lady of luxurious
tastes.
Here is the description .of the suite of
rooms occupied Dy a girl of 9. Her name
I will not give, for it would be unkind to
pillory a child for the sins of her foolish
parents. She has a beautiful little sitting
room in white and gold. The walls are
hung in rose tinted silks, and special pieces
of furniture, diminutive in sue, and in
cluding a small secretary in ormolu
with Sevres plaque, that she may
carry on her little correspondence. Here
are her toys, the elegant gifts she re
ceives, and here 8b,e entertains her friends.
Adjoining this room is her bedroom in satin
wood, her brass bed hung with blue silk
curtains. A dressing room attaches and in
this is the culmination of luxury. The
dressing room is quite large. The marble
bath is set against the wall. The low mar
ble basin is supplied with perfumed soaps.
Sponges of all sorts and sizes hang in racks.
Perfumed waters in cut glass bottles, cold
creams, delicate lotions all find a place.
On her bureau are laid out expensive
brushes and combs in renousse. silver and
exquisite toilet bottles and manicure cases
in pearl. In one corner is placed a long
cheval glass that she may contemplate her
skirts and dainty footgear. The impro
priety of calling this child's attention as
specifically to the care of her body is al
ready manifest, and one can only wonder
what there can be in reserve for her when
she is grown.

Not Eves- Babies' Eye .Arooilnjnrcd far the
LourrLIko tke'Fipreier" ,
By some, physiuaas it" is thought that
many cases of near-sightedness are directly
caused In infancy by children, gazing at the
sun. While the maids push the babies'
perambulators through the parks on tunny
days, the little innocents with upturned
eyes stare at the blazing face of heaven.
The question was suggested to Mr.
Steiren, optician, and he rather scouted the
idea. "Ofxourse," said he, "the hot sun's
rays are injurious to tbe eyes at any stage;
bnt, further than causing a little soreness
of tho lids, I do not think any injury results
to tbe optics. The pupil of the eye is not
permanently injured, and the idea that it
would be- scorched is ridiculous. The
nervea of the eye are very easily affected,
but not to i any such degree as that which
you say the sun's glare would cause.
"Nearsightedness in numerous cases is
hereditary; but the'loss of close vision can
beattributed to habits, and fancies of life.
Anything which is detrimental to tbe ner
vous system, will be in sympathy with the
eye, which' is practically a network of
nerves.' Cigarette smoking, I think, is very
damaging to the eyes, as well as to the
whole nervous system."

Mrs. L. H. Anberry, who resides at Mercer.Pa,
Mrs. A. had been afflicted with hemorrhoids!
for a number of years without paying very
mnch attention to them. Bat as the years
went by the disease began to grow upon her.
Pile-tumors, began to make their appearance at
each movement of the bowels. These tumors
began to Increase m size, and when prolapsed
wonld bleed profusely. The pain- and
suffering which she experienced from
them, together with the loss of blood,
from repeated hemorrhages gradually under
mined her nervous system until she became
physical wreck. She became weak: and languid,
Tho least Dhvsieal exertion caused ctbss
fatigue. She lived in constant fear that some
thing dreadful was about to happen. She suf
fered from melancholy, and felt that she would
never get well. A feeling would coma
over her that she was alone in the world, and
was constantly looking on the dark side of
life. She had tried the skill of so many physi
cians without nnding relief that sho
had given up a.l hopes of ever bains
restored to health. In connection with hemorr
hoids she suffered from female weakness
in its worst form, and had become so
thoroughly discouraged that she had given up

This Is but one case among hundreds. The

A form of private education mnch more
