The Hiad Woman."
I never lived ia a town yet which
hadn't a "head woman." We've pot
one in our town, and what she can't do

Daring the lat four years she lias
built a church, hired the minister, ap
pointed committees, elected deacons,
run all festivals, picnics, societies, and
conventions connected therewith, be
sides attending: to her own and hus
band's business, feeding all the poor
and converting all the heathen.
"She's a brick,' the boys say with a
wink as they skedaddle around the
corner; and the men sit on the boxes at
the corner grocery and talk theology,
well assured that their work will all be
r alone by thin one woman. -,
She knows every one's business better
than they know it themselves, is well
' acquainted with every one's character
and ability, and can prescr ibe their line

"ShcIi a head as that woman has! the

Nobody erer saya anything abont

The especial delight of this "head

Christmas days with a great basket full
of old boots and fchoesdone up in brown
paper on her arm. Of course people

Then the "head woman" readjusted the

with a sense or duty done, and, giving
the room a critical survey, went on:

Arithmetic Applied to Farmixo.
M. Evans writes and asks whether we
cannot apply our .figures to plowing,
and tell how much can be plowed in a
day at certain rates, width of furrows,
etc. Tables of this kind have frequently
been published, and the computation is
simple enough for each to make him
self. At the rate of one mile per hour,
and with a furrow 9 inches wide, a team
will plow about Ho1 rod In 10 hours,
not counting the turning. With a ten
Inch furrow it would be one-tenth
more, or about one acre. The amount
at other rates ana with various widths
of the furrow, can be easily ascertained
from this. The most interesting part
of such au investigation is the time lost
in turning. We give the following
table as computed by Stevens, showing
the comparative time lost in turning
while plowing furrows ten inches wide
and of the given lengths, in ten hour
of work.

According to this estimate, in plow

as much time is devoted to turning as to
plowing. The table illustrates well the
advantage of long over short furrows
in this respect.

Blinds ok Awsisgs. The Journal of
CKtmittrg, in an article relative to
blinds and awnings, sayi that the cus
tom which prevails with some house
keepers of closing doors and windows
in the early morning of a not day in
order to secure coolness is most perni
cious. The air thus obtained has the
chill and impurity of the cellar, and is
not fit for human life. If people must
live in-doors, the nearer their habita
tions approach the character or green
houses the better. The old-fashioned
roofed piazza is fast giving place, ex
cept in houses for summer use only, to
the uncovered terrace. This latter can
be sheltered by Italian awnings from
the rays of the noon-day sun, or from
the evening dews, or it can be provided
with a light wooden frame-work to sup
port a canvas cover that can be easily
rolled back, like the awning over a city
vhop front. On the score of expense
ese useful devices are much more
economical than the universal blinds.
The first cost of the latter, with the
additional outlays for periodical paint
ing and repairing, will far exceed that
of their substitutes. It seems rather
absurd for a sensible people to spend so
much money in making and glazing
windows only to spend a great deal
more in devices for obstructing them.

not distinctly heard him, he again re

were directed toward the organ-gallery,
from which a "clicking," half-smothered
sound emanated. Presently the curtains

iu helping these interesting and pecu
liarly situated jieople was t aptain
Scribner, of the ship St. John, w ho ar
rived again at this port recently. Capt.
Scribner never fails to heave to when
passing Pitcairn island for the purxise
of leaving a few words w ith his isolated
friends, who in turn have i 11 him the
only communicator with the outside
world.
This jieople, (numbering now about
eighty-seven ) are w ilhout law or money,
governed, if such a term may le used,
or, lerbaps, more procrly led, by Mr.
Young, who acts as their leader,
preacher, and schoolmaster, and iu all
things requiring arbitration or decision
is recognized as the high tribunal.
While the goods w hich were sent from
San Francisco were being packed, a
twelve year old daughter of one of our
merchants, .lames B. Stetson, thought
she would semi some articles to some
little girl of the same age. So she
tacked a liox. containing Koine dolls,
pictures, fancy articles, etc., and her
photograph in a letter, and directed Uie
liox "To any girl alxuit twelve years of
age on the Pitcairn Island," In the
letter she gave the tiiiiulier of school
childruu, churches... inhabitants, etc., of
the city, all of which was astonishing
to the young ishuidcrs. . The thing was
nearly forgotten, w lieu quite recently,
this little girl receive" I a package of
four letters from her Pitcairn friends.
It appears that a vessel hound for Liv
erpool (uuvsed near the. island, anil the
letters were sent on lioard and by the
captain placed in the post olliceat Liver
kk1, w hich in due time reached San
Francisco. The letters were well
w ritten. and would compare favorably
with those, of girls of the same age
among us. One was from Sarah K.
Young, aged nine years; one from
Sarah Emily Mc.Coy aged eleven years;
one from Amelia Ann McCoy, aged
nine years, .The. letters contain the
warmest expressions of gratitude that
any one in 41m great -uukiiown world
should think of them in such a manner.
They write that they have gathered a
Ikix of oranges in hope that some pass
ing vessel would stop so that they might
put it aboard to send as a slight 'reward
for the kindness. They describe their
school house which they use forchiurh
purposes also, they say they are very
proud and thankful for the organ which
wa sent them from San Francisco, and
have given it a very prominent position
in the building. The letters are full of
thaukfulnessvfor.the kindness of the
people xf San Francisco, who have so
liberally rewarded them for their hos
pitality to the shipwrecked sailors, and
for which they expected nothing. In a
postscript added to the letter of her
daughter, the mother apologizes for the
appearance of her daughter's letters by
saying she has only written 011 paper
but a very few times in her life. One
letter from a young lady of twenty
three is most excellently composed and
beautlfnllv written.

I have noticed a curious thing with
regard to nightingales, namely, that
large numbers of people iu this country
dislike their singing. This is especially
the case with domestic servants. A
ladv who resided for many years in the
neighborhood of Stratford-oii-Avon told
me tbat she has often bad servants to
leave leeause "the nightingales were so
noisy." It would be interesting to know
whether there may not be mingled with
this some siiierstition. The nightin
gale, notwithstanding its beautiful song,
has not altogether escaped the suspicion
which has geuerally attached to birds
whose voices are heard in the night;
and there is one instance where a church
council solemnly exorcised as a devil
a nightingale which insistently sang
near their place of deliberation. Still
it may be only that the strange, plain
tive, and prolonged melody of the bird
disturbs the sleep of the servants. This
year the nightingale has begun singing
in some parts of the country three
weeks earlier than usual, the time
apMiuted for It being St. fieorge's ami
Shakspeare's l:iy April i. It has a
way of not keeping the calendar some
what in the same way as the Glaston
bury thorn, w hich in more orthodox
times was always seen iu blossoui at
Christmas, b.it of late years has mani
fested a heretical tendency to resemble
other thorns tbat have not the honor of
having blossomed out of Arimalhean
Joseph's staff. The lit of birds of
omen, good or evil, in the folklore of
Euglish countries is extensive, compris
ing the robin, swallow, martin, wren,
sparrow, titmouse, owl. raven, cuckoo,
plover, magpie, woodiecker, kite, crane,
heron, goo-e, peacock, jac kdaw, duck,
cormorant, cock, seagull, hoopoe, petrel,
eagle, bittern and kingfisher; but I
have never heard any mystical legend
of the nightingale in this country,
though there are many such iu Persia
and .Russia. This is curious enough.
that the English imagination should
wh by the passionate singer of the
night to Mud mvsterv and augnrv iu a
goose. CiH. Ci$HHfrfittl.
Watercresscs are now an important
article of commerce iu Paris, where
their consumption has of late year in
creased enormously, formerly tans
depended for its watercresscs on crops
g:ithered bv night from brooks and
ponds by persons who made it their
business to traverse the country for
some miles round the city in search of
them, and they were as a" rule of very
inferior quality. Iu 1"1U an officer of
the French army. Iieing at Erfurth. saw
a number of wide ditches tilled with
priug watercresscs, ami conceived the
idea of forming in the valley of .Nonet te,
between Seulis and hantilly, a similar
cress-growing establishment conducted
011 a system. This led to a graat de
velopment of cress culture and of the
market for this plant. Other cress
growers started in business in the envi
rons of 1'aris, and at the present time at
all season more than thirty cartloads
of cresses are sent into Paris daily, each
load lieiug worth about ;flw francs, rep
resenting a coiisiimptio:i of about U,(H
francs worth of cresses iu the twenty
four hours, or more than :t,iK.Ki.' francs
worth a year.
What Eyes in ldMlie ItliaaU.
Black eyed ladies are moat apt to be
passionate anil jealous, filue eyed,
soulful, truthful, affectionate and con
fiding. Grey eyed philosophical, liter
ary, resolute and cold hearten. Hazel
eyed, quick tempered ami tickle. A
woman is either worth a preat deal or
nothing. If good for nothing, she is
not worth getting jealous for; if she
be a true woman, she will give no cause
for jealousy. A man is a brute to be
jealous of a good woman a fool to be
lealons of a worthless one: bat is
double fool to cat his throat for either
of them.
