ArethuKi Allen w as only eiht-en when he came t tirotou Gorpi to take charge of the district school a hlijrht, dark -eyed nlil of a thiti).', with a low voice, and Mich a uhy, timid way, that the hi; j;irl and the rehellious Ikivm at once jiunpt-d to the coin la-ion that fhe would lie con ijuerol at iitiif in her rapacity as a " Kchool-niami." They dir-oeretl their mistake, howev er, iu a very hrief jn-riod of tiint. Mis Allen illicit lie quiet, but she had the spirit of Joun of Arc. ."-lie reluced her little tiin k to order, and kept tiieni there, t.-. Mrs. Linns, who presided over the tjiotye Hodse, also bore testimony in lie haifof An thnsa Allen. " I didn't s' pose, w hen I first see her, that she would amount to a row of pins," said Mrs. Linns, who weighed three hun- jj jun,ls, and stood five feet eh'ht ijH.lics in her stockings. - A sIiui,school- prl.,,k;lls; creature like tlilt And J , . , , had not a room to siiare, and I didn t see. j how I could KiK-ibly acouiinoilate her. But she simke up ) pretty like, that she hadn't no friends and didn't know where to iro, i- say I : ' It you don't mind j iiioiii .iter me luiuiiiry, i tan iit'ui out ..ne..fthrtom.and j."t uP a .-..t ie.i I till the season is over. If s a noisy place l in the day time,' says I. 'with them Chi nese oacklin' and Bcreechin", but it's still and peaceable of ni-diLs. And if you'll help me make out the bills and keep the accouiiLs, Misx Allen,' says I, 'I'll connid er it in your board, for I ain't no scholar and lieer was." Mrs. I'.inns was an ungainly creature to look at, but she was as Wautiful at heart astlwiVenus de Medica's seltand Arethu sa sism felt herself at home in the little nom over the laundry, whose windows looked out at the thread -like fall of a sil ver cascade, ami the unfathomable gloom of the fir glens lieyond. For tiroton iorge was as lovely a place as ever lean ed from mountain plateau over the misty valley below ; and the (rnton Housewas full of city lumpier. Nor was the domestic statf contempti ble. Mrs. Itinus had all her servants fr im the city during the summer season, and to ail appearances everything went on velvet. I'ntil one fn:gy August morning when Mrs. Linus awakened to find herself racked in every joint by acute rheuma tism, and utterly incapable of mov ing.

" but we ladies and gentlemen low n stairs have concluded to ask for an increase of salary. And until you have conceded to our demands, we shall lie im pelled to resist from work." Mrs. Linns opened her eyes in aston ishment. "Ain't I payin' you good wages al- readv?" said she, ' And I can't alfonl , , .... ,, . , .... - V li'l iie'.w .i.'tA'eiO' . Mrs. Mackenzie took out a roll of paper from he.r apron cket, and tiened it. " I have here, ma'am," said she, purs ing up her thin lips, "the signatures of all the ladies and gents at present assist- in in the ineilitcminean n-gioiis down i stairs, including the four waiters of the ! t-o..nd gender, and the two Chinese wasbi-r-laundi ii-s ; and we won't none of us stay another hour without you'll agree iu dis-umenlary writin', ma'am, to raise our salaries." And Mrs. Mackenzie tossed her head in spiteful satisfaction. Mrs. Linns sunk wearily back on the pillows, " I can't give no answer," said she "riot with this pain in my bones. Send Mis Arethusa Allen to me, please." "Oh, certainly, ma'am certainly!" said the cook, rising. Sirry you feel so poorly. But bear in mind, ma'am, that we shall expect an answer immediately." And Mrs, Mackenzie w ithdrew. Presently Arethusa Allen came in for, as it chanced, the district school had clicd a week previously for the summer vacation and found Mrs, Linns dissolv ed in tears, "What is it, dear Mrs. I5inn?" mid j Arethusa. j Tlie lie lo has all struck for higer wa- ges r cried Mrs. Linns. "And Tin payin' j 'eiu more than I can afford now. And j all the prices of pro Lsions hare riz, and j I may as w ell close the place at once. ; Oh, Arethusa, my head aches so I can't think! Whatslialll do? Tell me ther'a j a dear!" "yolliirig,"said An-thusa.juietly. "Just lie down again, and let .me send for the doctor." " But tlie bnlers and the dinner?" omer SOMERSET, " I'll see to that," said Arethusa. "Trust me, and all shall be right. Those people dow n stairs have been grow ing idler and more domineering every day ; wid now they want you to pay them more money for doing lew work. There must be an end to this. Yon will empower me with full authority T Mrs. Linus sent for the cook "Mrs. Mackenzie," said she, "I'm too sick to parley with yoa, but Miss Allen will represent me fully. What she says, I savT And she lay down and turnel her fiice to the wall, with ehtiteyes,as if she wash ed her hands of tbe w holecvncern, while Mrs. Mackenzie bridled and turned to the slim young school teacher, who in her heart she secretly despised as no better than a servant herself, with all theoi aire and graces of hern." " Well, Miss Allen," said she, "what's your mind on the subject? The sooner the question is settled, the better for all parties. We ain't jtoin to stimd her im position." Whatever idea Arethusu might have entertained a to a compromise was thor oughly banished by the cool insolence of this last remark. " You may go," she said. " Hey T said Mrs. Mackenzie, bristling up like a setting hen. " I decline to entertain your propoHa!," said Arethusa calmly. "Pack your things all of you, and leave the house at once. I If you are expeditions you may succeed in taking the noon train, that stops at the ! l iorge." And she paid their wages out of Mrs. Iiinnscherry wood secretary and discharg ed them, as the good lady afterward re marked, " horse, foot and dragoons." Then she called a convention of tbe boarders, and told the tale. " If you won't mind a dinner of cold lamb and lettuce to-day," said she " with a dessert of snow pudding that I can make myself, I w ill promise you some thing more elaborate to-morrow." And they cheerfully consented. John, the stable boy, was the only ad "heretit left, and he harnessed up the hor ses an 1 drove down the mountain side to a farm house, w here lived Mrs. ISease ley, the mother of the big boy w ho had Iieeu the school ma'am's worst enemy at first, and her most faithful ally ever af terwanL " Mrs. Leasley," said Arethusa, " I want to borrow your two daughters'" " Bless me, Miss Arethusa." said she, "what forT " To help ine at the ieorge House '." and Arethusa told her story. "Joanna and Fanny are quick, smart girls. I'll pay them a dollar and a half a week to act as waitresws." "They'd oblige you, Miss Arethusa, cheerfully, without a cent," said Mrs. lieascley. " They w ill oblige me more by accept ing a suitable compensation," said Are thusa. "At this stage of the world eve rything is worth money value. yon know. What say you, girls? Will you go?" "And welitime," said Fanny. " If we can learn the business," said Joanna, w ho w as shyer, and more dis trustful of herself. "I ll make it my business to instruct you," said Arethusa, brightly. " Pack np your things. Re ready to jump into the wagon w hi n I come back." " Can't I do nothing Miss Allen?" said big Junius. " I'm going to get Susan Lich to do the washing," said Arethusa. "If you would turn the handle for her sometime " " I'll turn it from now until doomsday, if it'll help you, Miss Allen," he said. " Susan ain't half a bad girl, neither, if she didn't chaff a fellow so." "Thank you, Junius," said Miss Allen. "You will oblige me very much." .Mrs. Ridley, w ho had once lieen house keeper in a grand Poughkeepsie family, and now lived on her interest money, volunteered as cook, with the assistance of Marian Sevier, the rector's daughter, w ho bad spent a winter in New York and taken lessons of Miss Parola. " It w ill lie such fun," said pretty Mar ian, dancing up and down. "And Mark is to be Miss Allen's caterer, and send in supplies to her." " Yes," said Mark Sevier a college l'n"" - ,"u "a" J1"41 c,m,e "ome 10 the jiarsonaiw to sin-nd his vacation e 1. . I . 1. . "theliorge House shall be Iilierally sup-plie-1, even if I have to turn highway rohlvr for Miss Allen's lenefit. But I hopi'. Miss Allen, there need be no dan ger of our coming to that extremity. I know the farmers w ho raise lambs, and calves,and tender voung' broilers. I can put my finger in brooks w here trout do congregate, and boy who would like nothing better than to catch them. I know where the berry-pickers live, and there isn't a melon patch or a plum or chard that I can't press into service. You shall live like epicures at the liorge House !" "Oh, Mr. Sevier, how can I ever thank you!?" said Arethvsa, w ho had scarcely known how to manage this portion of her duties. " lM not try," said Mark, gaily. Miss F.nphrasia Botrgs, the dress-maker and Kitty Plntne, who wove rag carpets, swelled the ranks of waitresses, as soon as they learned that Miss Sevier was go ing into the kit Jien, and that Arethusa herself was to give out the linen and help with the deserts ; old Mrs. Jenkins came as dishwasher. " Anything to earn an honest penny," said she. A nd the waitresses, when off meal duty were to act as chambermaid's, under Are thusa'a own direction, so that by night fall the new staff of attendants were all ou service. " Well," cried Arethusa, gaily, to Mrs. Linns. " What do you think now ? " I dunno what to think," said the landlady, with a sigh of intense relief. " It does seem an if yon had witches' blood in yonr veins, Miss Allen." The little band of industry worked well nuder its enthusiastic young leader. Of course there were some " hitchea." some awk .ardness, a few blunders. What housekeeping machinery w as ever devoid thereof? But on the whole.it was a dis tinguished success. Gotge House had never known a better season. Mrs. Binn's treasury had never represented more i satisfactory balance. ' And when the boarders, driven by keen October frosts, went away, many of them had engaged rooniB for the ensuing season. Mm. Binu'a hngged and kissedAretbn sa with the heartiest good wilL " My dear," said she, " if ever a fat old set ESTABLISHED 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, woman as don't deserve it hail a guardi an angel, you're mine. And you'll be here next season to help me? Promise now!" "Oh, I couldn't promise !" faltered Are thusa. "I am going to Europe next summer, with with Mr. Sevier. For one second Mrs. Binn's was struck dumb. "I might have known it," said she, re covering herself at last. "There wasn't never anything going on but Mark some how always gets mixed up with it. He's the h indsomest fellow hereabouts, as vou are the prettiest girl. I hate to lose you, but I can't find it in my heart to grudge your good luck ; and I must try and get along without yoa as best I can next summer, but I do hope to gracious that I shan't have no more strikes. Bill Nye's Speech. Fei.iiw OmzEss: It has now been one hundred and eleven years since the most successful and; most prosperous re public known thus far to history, sent forth upon the sultry air its first feeble cry. One hundred and eleven years ago this morning, the small red infant known as American liberty jammed her purple fists into her watery eye and made a few desultory remarks which were heard in the uttermost parts of the earth. To-day she is a full-grown person with a dignified mien, and has had a statue of herself taken, which stamls in the harbor of New York, and although she lights up the country for miles around, with her tall torch, there is no one who has ever been able to hold a candle to her in the Liberty business. Those who are to-day within the sound of my voice, and who are over one hun dred and eleven years of age, will per haps recall to their minds the deplorable condition of things here in our young and struggling country at that time. If we moved out west in orderto secure more freedom, the venturesome savage filled us full of arrows till we looked like tooth-pick holders, and when we come back for protection, the haughty Briton assessed us and crushed us beneath the iron heel of the despot. Now, wherever the starry banner hangs out to greet the gentle breere, all, all are free. Little do we know here in Ameri ca, what it is to suffer for freedom. Lib erty does a good buaines here in the I'nited States now, and the man who runs out of freedom shows that he is a shiftless man and a poor provider. Only a little over a century ago we ilared not go out after dark without a chilled steel corset, for fear that the maroon-colored children of the I rest might let the pale, shimmering moonlight in among our vital organs by means of their crude tomahawks. Then life was indeed uncertain and disagreeable. People re mained at home rather than return to their houses with - holes ii themselves and wiltliy disheveled brains. Now a man can start nut and go any where if he-will pay his fare. And so we are marching on. What a grand stride it is from the despotism of a century ago, to the long and short haul of to-day ! What a mighty leap from the barbarism of a hundred years ago, to the glorious sunlight of freedom which we enjoy now ! Where once the slow-going ox team and Belcher box wagon crept through the wilderness, liable to lsj scattered over the greensward at any moment by the yelling injun, now the patient news paper man, the member of Congress and the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, with their coats over their arms, toil along the level sweep of railroad which they assisted to build by means of their land grants and moral encourage ment, looking ever and anon over their shoulders for the approach of the yelling modern Injun. Times have indeed changed in the past century. A hundred yearsago w his ky was sold at forty cents per gallon and every other man was a statesman. Now you have to pay fifteen cents for enough w hisky to wet the bottom of a small tum bler, and there hasn't been a speech made in the house of representative) for three years that was listened to by any body but the stenographer. So liberty, while enlarging her field, has not always ameliorated the condition of mankind. We are prone to boast over the enormous mass of freedom w hich we have accumulated here in America, and yet the freedom of the press has been greatly impaired, if I may be allowed that expression. Too much casfe has been the result of recent laws. A year ago I held up my head and mingled w ith a class of men who to-day refuse to recognize nie. They were then, and are now, of course, men of wealth and social position ; but so am I. 1 allude' to the railway conductors of the Cnited States. A year ago I knew them from New York to San Francisco, and associated with them frequently, allowing myself to be drawn forward into the smoking-car to mingle with them, ami visit pro and con.. But what do I find to-day! I find the same men running on the si. trie trains, but they are arrogant, haughty anil re served. One of them placed me on a side track last spring in the night, in the midst of a pitiless storm, because I trie. 1 to renew a former acquaintance and ride into Chicago. He said that I could not ride on my ac quaintance with him by no means, hut t hat I would soon be riding on the small of my hack if I did not pay my fare to the citv. And so I remained that night in the midst of some ancient ruins called Mon mouth ; I was not acquainted in Mon mouth, and I hal no business there. No body ever had any business there that I ever heart! of, and yet I remained there through what was Lift of that terrible night. I often think that our forefathers did not suffer any more har.lshipe than we do, and if I hail fitted myself for it I would just as soon be a forefather as to be the pampered child of wealth that I am to-day.

In the four years that followed the up rising of the South, the people of the North furnished to the armies of the Union nearly 3,!KXl,0iX) men; and the South gave to the Confederacy over I,0l,0U0 more. From less than 32,000, 0110 of inhabitants in the entire country and within the space of four years, 4,000, 000 men were under arms in that terrible conflict. Contemplate the fact that one in every eight of our entire population, or one in every four of our male popula tion was actually engaged in that contest and you get some idea of the terrible drain that the war made on the flesh and blood of our countrymen. In the entire military history of the world there is nothing to be compared with that mar tial enthusiasm of our people. It is the boast of Germany, the greatest military nation of modern times, with a popula tion of 41,000,000, she can in time of war furnish an army of l,2T)O,00O men, bnt in the war of the rebellion the North,witha population of only 2l',utlO,000, had in act ual service at the close of the contest, more than a million of men. Gen. Grant, during the campaigns of lS'4-'ti."i, com manded more soldiers than any other general since the fall of the Roman em pire. The loss of tbe L'nion army in the battle of the Wilderness nearly equaled the lose of both armies on the field of Waterloo. No battle base ver been fought on the continent of F.nrope with greater letenuination or with as much I.mk as that of tiettysburg. For half a century Waterloo has stixxl in history, Song, and story w ithout a parallel. It was reserved to the descen.lants of the men who fought under the Duke in that famous engage ment to convince the world that courage and tenacity has not degenerated since the days of Waterloo. Gettysburg may fairly be said to be the greatest battle of modern times. The numbers engaged exceeded tluwe of Waterloo, the duration of the battle longer, and the loss greater. More than one-third of the l'nion army and nearly one half of the Confederate were killed, wounded or missing in that engagement Tlie famous charge by Pickett on the third ilay, and its subsequent repulse will live for all time in military history. The i famous "Old Guard," veterns in the ser vice of France, wavered before tbe first volley from the English batteries, and the second fell back hi confusion. But Pickett's divlsi n at tiettysburg, with less men, advanced a mile under the galling fire, its lines unbroken. A Wife's Retort. Old Joe was a quiet old man, but some what too fond of the bottle. When in bis cups, his ideas tended toward theolog ical matters, which he always avoided in his solier moments. It was Saturday af ternoon and his good wife wanted some wood for the oven, as she had bread to make. " Joe, I do wish you would go and split some wood ; here it is nearly two o'clock, and the fire Isn't made.7 Joe went out to execute his commis sion, and fearing his physical condition was weak, marched to the neighboring tavern to fortify himself therein. He re turned home utterly oblivious to all things save his pet theories. Seating himself on the chair, he said : " I suy (hie) Jane, do yoa (hie) think (hicl the Lord (hie) means to burn us all up in fire?" His venerable sjiouse, being exceeding ly irate, did not answer. Again he repeated the question. Still an ominous silence. " Wife, do you think tiie Lord means to burn us all up in fire everlasting?" " No !" said the now thorougly amused housewife ; " no, you fool, not if he waits for you to split the wood." Death-Bed Repentance. An old soldier lay dying in a little tow a j in Pennsylvania one day last week. " Is j there anything on your mind that troub-j les you?" asked his pastor, as an expres-j sion of grave concern passedover the yet- j eran's face. " Yes." said the dying man, I " there is. I have not made one of my opportunities. I was in the war about four years, in many battles, and thouuht I tried to do my duty. But I never pick ed np a lighted shell, w ith its burning fuse sputtering close to the shell, and threw it over the parapet of the fort.

In Kentucky's shame, the lawless county of Rowan, was Wednesday morn ing of last week enacted what will, be yond all doubt, prove the final chapter in the bloodiest mountain vendetta known to the history of the State. The culmination was reached in the tragic end of four desperadoes, men who for feited their lives while resisting the mandates of the law. After the destruc tion of thousands of dollars worth of projierty, and up to this writing, (June 2Ji, the loss of 21 lives Rowan county can now return to peai-e and prosperity. Craig Toliiver.the fiimoua desjierado, w as probably the immediate cause of the out raged law being vindicated. Wednes day's gook work ended tne succession of tragedies that have been enacted in that country since the begining of the Martin Tolliver fend, not quite two years ago, the result of which up to date has been the sending of 21 souls into eternity ; the maiming and crippling for life of at least a score or more of persons : tbe destruc tion of all social relations and of nearly the entire bu.-iiies interests uf the coun ty , and the bringing about of a state of lawlessness and terrorism that have driven good men, with their families, aw ay from home and frien.ls to seek new homes in olher parts of the country, where they might live w ithout lieing in constant fear of their lives. In the August, 1S4. election, after a heated contest. Cook Humphreys was elect.si sheriff of Rowan county, by i7 majority over Sam tioodwin. During the canva-- many animosities were en gendered, the Martins allying themselves with Humphreys and the Tullivers with Goodwin's cause. Craig Tolliver, the leader of the latter fiction, whose name in Kentu.'Y has grown as notoriously familiar as was that of Jesse James in Missouri several years ago, swore after the election that Humphreys sh.sild never ride Rowan county as sheriff. Sim-e that date life after life has lieen offered np on the ailar of hatere.1 and bad Llood with increasing frequency, despite the efforts of the judiciary and liiilita, back ed by the strong arm of the Mate gevern nient. The names oi the victims in the order killed, are as follows: Solomon Bradley, John Martin, Whit Petfrey, B. Caiidelle. Deputy fdieriff Banmgardner, Mas. in Keeton, John Marlow.John Dais.Wi!ey Tolliver, a railroad employ? named Witcher. Willie Logan, Ben Rayb.irn, John Day. Floyd Tolliver, and a party whose name is not retueniliered ; Iw-sides the two recent victims, John B. Logan and W. II. Logan, to day's last Craig Tolliver, Bud Tolliver, Jay Tolliver and Hiram Cottier. The news from Rowan county Is of the most exciting kind, as it appears to be an indisputable fact that Cutig Tolliver Is killed and his gang dismembered for ever. Tlie news was brought by a Lex ington minister and others who came through Morehead Wednesday on the Chesapeake and Ohio train from Norfolk Ya., about 9 a. m. Wednesday. When this train was within a few miles of Morehead it was flagged by some citizens and hen it came to a -top they informed the conductor that a bloody battle was going on in Morehead between asheritfs posse and the Tolliver gang, and that it would not lie safe for the train to proceed until hostilities ceased. Tlie jiassengers and train men were all very much fright ened, and at their solicitation. the con ductor ran the train to Martin's switch, two miles and a half east of Morehead. There they remained until nearly 12 o'clock hen they were notified that the fighting was over and that the train might proceed through the tow n with safety. The train stopped for some time at Morehead, and there the pas-engers learned the particularsof the battle which appear to be about as follows : Sheriff H'vgg, presumably aiding under instructions from the State authorities, for he recently visited Frankfort to see (iovernor Knott, has been for about a week quietly organizing a very large posse of determined men in the upper part of Rowan county and in the adjoin- ing counties for the purpose of arresting Craig Tolliver, or ail the party were im plicated in the murder of the Loiran boys some two weeks ago. Craig Tolliver had received intimations of this, but they were so vague that he supposed the party would be regulators instead of a sheriff" s posse. Tolliver and his party, consisting of about 10 men, were quite vigilant and for suspicious characters, and to see that no one g"t off at Morehead but the they desired. Sheriff Hogg equipped his large party with Winchester rirles i-nd the amuni- tion was secretly conveyed to his rendez vous while he organized the posse. Everything was ready for the move on the Tolliver gang several days ago. but, it was known that neither he noranv of his men would peaceably submit to leral j arrest of anv kind, it Was deemed best to have the plans thorough- matured before ,. . . , ,. taking anv divisive steps. It was finallv 1 ..,. .,.,.,, ,k ,.r ,i. av i. la, ill. m m- j,' lilt .y a 1,11c assassins Wednesday, June 22, in the day time, to prevent any women, children or offensive citizens from lieing killed by accident. Accordingly, at an early hour Wednesday morning people living on the line of the railroad within two or three miles of Morehead on each side of the town, were notified to stop all trains and inform the conductor of what was going on in Morehead, so that the passengers and trainmen would not ! placed in danger. Sheriff Hogg's band of resolute men, numbering more than 200, appeared sud denly at Moiehead about 8 o'clock Wed nesday morning. A cordon was first established around the entire town in the brush, where the men could not be seen. The Sheriff then entered the town at their head of abont 100 well armed men. Craig Tolliver and his 10 followers im mediately retreated to the Cottage Hotel, which they had previously barricaded in such a manner as to make it quite a fonnidible fortress. Sheriff Hogg then notified Tolliver that he had warrants for the arrest of all the men implicated in the killing of the Logan boys, and asked that they all submit pwuwibly to arrest tinder the law. ToIIiver's reply was that neither he nor his men would arrested and that 100 men could not take them. His party then opened fire upon the sheriffs posse. Quite a brisk rattle of musketry ensued and the fighting waa kept op probably for two hours. I WHOLE NO. 1878. The only casualty for a time was a flesh wound received by one of the sher iff's posse. The attacking party, howev er, were gradually drawing their lines closer around ToIIiver's fortification, and the besieged Iuity, finding things grow ing too warm, finally concluded to make a bold rush for liberty, cut their way through tiie sheriff's line, and take to the adjacent brush, which omv reached would afford them a secure escape. But as they made the rush they were met by a trvmen.li'U Volley which killed Craig Tolliver, Bud Tolliver; Jay Tolliver, and Hiram Cooper. They were all shot through the heart and died instantly. Craig Tolliver sceuis to have been a gen eral target, as he was thoroughiy riddled as to be scarcely recognizable. The oth er men of the gang gut through safely, but as they approached tlie brush they were met by a volley from the outside cordon, a hue of men stationed b or 12 feet apart all umiuid the town. This Volley wounded Cate Tolliver.a twelve-year-old boy and three others, all of w horn were captured except Cate Tolli ver, w ho craw led into the bush and es caped. The other three also escape.!, but one was captured afterward. This brought the battle to an end and the slain were viewed by the people and the passengers from the train. - McWhacker as a Politician. Rev. Joel McWhai ker tapped the tas scHated pavement of the Palace Hotel lobby with his well developed left foot, and gazed rcproachiuirly at a crack in the side of his boot, remarked that he guess ed bed ambulate out of town till the election was over.

" Well, I guess I'll tell you all about it as you have beard an incorrect version of the alfuir," said the Rev.

" Oh, well, that Is different," said the committee. " Well, then," said the manufacturer, " I shall take the Irishmen into part nership tomorrow ." We are told that in Bunnah "a man's rank is known by the of umbrellas he is allowed to carry, the King limiting himself to twenty -four."

Where Everybody Carries a Baby or So. Like China, the principal prodm-p of Japan is children a very great variety it does pro.lu.-e, indeed! They are of all patterns, very numerous, and almost always very small. It really seems to a foreigner that every boy and girl in Ja pan that is big enough to carry Inthy has one of them on his or her back. It is often hard to say which of tlie two is the younger baby, the one being carried or the one carrying, they are both so smalL But the carrying of these chil dren is not limited to the older children entirely. Fully one-half ifn.it ux.r.', of all tlie women seen about tiie streets or houses are aLo seen carrying bulges on their bucks. Ther carry them thus in the streets, in tlie temples ami in the stores. Everywhere you are confronted with a cheerful pair of faces, one beh.ii.1 the other, loitering about for the amuse ment of both often at work, tn often visiting friends.
