In both of these systems the education of the child was much narrower and the general edu- cation of acountry among the masses was of a much lower grade than it 18 in the advanced civi- lization Of to-day.

It was ouly for a lew brief weeks, however, as the frail and delicate constitution inuerited froin her father and tue constant longing for her Iuallan home while in England developed a dread disease, which Wook her aWay from her sorrows in the very flush of young Womanhood. On the slab above her grave in an English chureh-yard 13 the ine: “aged ‘The Pug Dog ava Transmitter of Kisses, From the Chicayo News, : “It you Won't use my name,” said a boarder at a ‘Madison-street hotel, “I'l: tell you about a little love affair that is carried on at our house by means of @ pug dog. The proprietor’s daughter, a pretty young iady, has a pug that knows less than any dog I ever saw—why, be doesn’t know enough to chase his own tail. But the young lady thinks a great deal of Lilt, or at least lets on Unat she does, One Of the clerks of the house isa new young fel- low, rather good looking, and, notwithstanding he isa’ hotel Clerk, modest and bashful. It 1s the easiest thing in the World to see that he loves the proprictor’s daughter, and the next easiest thin} to see 1S that she loves him. But he ts so bash tl he hardly dares to 100k” athe to say noth ing of telling her bis passion, aud she, poor thing, gainot spean of her love beeduse she 13 a Woman.

One of these days That clerk's passion will get the better of him and he will grab the mistress of that dog 1n his arms and puta kiss on her iips that will burn into her Very soul, and he willbe surprised almost out of his wits to see how willing she will take it. But then the pug’s occupation will be gone.” Parisian Dudes in Doubt, Paris Dispatch to the London Telegrr ph. Parisian dandies are greatly exercised tn their minds just now asto what style of stick they ougat to adopt during the present season, They are Ured of the gold-knobbed canes, the crutch- canes and the canes with ducks’ beaks, which were once all the rage. An energetic inventor has there- fore sturted @ thick stick which almost aspires to ‘tue dignity and dimensions of a cwagel, and the povme, OF pommel, of Which Is the claw of a cray- fsb. ‘he article 13 already in the hands of the Jauding, and promises to be a fashionable success. While the members of metropolitan “masherdom” are thus busy about the “nice conduct” of a cray- fish cane their fermale counterparts are puzzled as to the style of walking which they shall adopt for Uhe season. As furs ate worn at this peridd of the Year the earrlage prescribed ts that of short stej with the “wagyle of the Ittule bird known a8 the beryeronnette, OF Water Wagtall. This “waggle” Should, of course, be graceful as possible, the un- dulating sweep of the hips being well accentu ited, ‘The Parisienne looks, as a ruie, adorable in furs, but she Is sometimes tempted to put in too much “waggle.” ‘The best danclag masters and protes- sors of calisthenics in convents, boarding-sehoois, lyceums for sweet girl graduates and similar es Tabilshments, are, therefore, engaged at the pres- ent moment fn instructing ‘their puplis in what may be called the art of Swagiling.” A Kansas Zephyr, From the Chicago Tribune. “There's quite a breeze sprung up within ‘he last. half hour,” said a Kansas man as he came into the house, “The roof has gone off the Court House ite St 0) BSB aCubs GHPIANO AND HARMONY, “sa7-2w* 10 22th RARING AND PAINTING ACADEMY OF FINE Dp 804 E, presided TOGENE A OWN LL. who has ‘had T3 twedels and studied £5 yours in urope with the most celebrated Eay wal be Teceived Sat artiste.
