Once in about every twenty-live years Jlorway and Sweden are the scene of a migration which is one of the wonders :m the natural world, says Harper's Bazar.

There is a tendency on the part of some mothers to do so much for their children that virtually a premium is placed upon selfishness. The child whose wish is anticipated, and for whom nothing is too good, is apt to grow up an exceedingly unpleasant person, un­ less, indeed, there be an extraordinary amount of natural good in him to counterbalance the undue indulgence. Shielding children from every chilling breath of life's air begets a life of ease and selfish enjoyment which becomes fixed when childhood is past. A mother, for example, had denied herself of every ppmfort She had risen early, and taken rest late, in order that her daughters might have a "perfectly happy girlhood." No duty was exacted of them. If they minded to help they might do so; if not, there was 110 one to ease the weary mother of her bur­ den. Small wonder is it that after these girls grew up their sole thought was for self. The mother was ignored by them; disrespectfully spoken of as "old-fashioned" and "without taste." Indeed, she was only regarded as one who could brake and brew, and was even "ordered"--no other word can be used--to wait upon them while they lolled in their easy chairs. Never hav­ ing been taught to Spend and be spent in doing good, these young women were not the helpers of those in need, and never carried sunshine into dark­ ened homes. Even their best friends tired of them, and their lives were un­ lovely and discontented. There can be no happiness in life unless the straight line of duty, which leads to "beauty's curve,"be conscientiously followed. Let every mother inculcate in her children's minds that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The opposite of this unpleasant pic­ ture is seen in a family of seven daugh­ ters, reared in wealth and luxury. There Was do absolute need of their doing any household work, as there were "man­ servants and maid-servants" enough to perform every duty. Although her first desire was to make her children happy, the mother of these girls knew there Jv could be no happiness without work; I so each child had her special duty and | was held to strict accountability for its performance. The mother was the central sun around which they revolved; her slightest wish was the command of an empress, so perfectly was it obeyed. The one thought was "to help to please mother." And the family was devoted to good works. In later years, when the older daughters had grown up, the whirligig of time brought severe re­ verses--so severe that the beautiful home, repleat with all that culture and wealth could command, had to be given up and a new home found among strangers. Was a word of re pining heard? No; although the new home was small, commonplace and without a trace of those comforts to which the family had been accustomed. But the girls immediately set to work to alter the dead level of disagreeable- ness and make "the desert blossom as the rose." The united endeavor of their trained and willing hands, under . the supervision of the mother, soon made a bower of beauty of the bare habitation. It became a place of re Legend of White Cap Mountain. • young and beautiful girl, the belle of all the country round, went up the mountain with her country lover to gather the favorite berry, and enjoy the beaxities of the view. He had long sought to disclose to her his attach­ ment, and ask her hand. Fear of a re­ fusal had deterred him until this oc­ casion, which had so loosened his tongue, that despite all the young maiden's saucy little capers, he suc­ ceeded in bringing her to the most satisfactory terms. Upon reaching the summit of the mountain (they had of coarse strayed from their party), the betrothed determined (true to nature), to plague her lover, on that day, to her heart's content. So, while he stopped to cull the finest branches of berries for Mary Lawson, she ran -like a frightened doe, beyond a large rock of granite, at some distanoe from him, and awaited in her concealment the eftect of her absence. He shortly perceived it, and com­ menced calling her. Receiving no re­ sponse. he rushed away in an opposite direction from the rock behind which Mary lay concealed. For a long time his voice might be heard, as he wan­ dered hither and thither in his search. In vain--she was securely hidden. Finally, he disappeared. The sun was sinking below the lofty mountains be­ fore her. She rose, now thoroughly calmed, and the horrid thought came on that she was left alone upon the mountain. She now wandered fran­ tically about, calling upon her lover's name. Alas! empty echoes mocked her. Night came upon her, and with sable mantle, wrapped the rugged crest. Wearied and exhausted, she had at­ tained at length the pinnacle--pre­ cipitous on the southerly side. In the darkness she lost her foothold and fell, into a deep chasm, hundreds of feet below. There, the next day, she was found by her frantic lover, who, sup­ posing she had joined the rest of the party, after vainly searching for her, followed after the others, who had al­ ready commenced the descent. To his utter despair, she was not among them. A few of his comrades returned with him to the mountain. In the darkness they could do nothing but call for Mary. No Marv answered, for they were many a weary hour's walk from her. At dawn of the following day, dragging through the bitter hours of that long night, they stood upon the pinnacle, and saw fluttering on the verge of the precipice a scarf. The dreadful story was told, full soon, to the seekers. Mournfully and slowly they bore the shattered remains of the once beautiful Jlary Lawson down that mountain path, to her bereaved parents, and a stricken band of companions fol­ lowed her to the grave. A simple mound marks the spot where she was found. And to this day the story is told with tears, and choking accents, by the children of those who knew and loved her. Secession Possibilities. j "It was fortunate for the Confederacy that we lost that for which we fought," said a gentleman who stood high in the cause for which the South fought a quarter of a century ago to an Indian­ apolis Journal correspondent in Wash­ ington. "Yes, it was fortunate that we lost," he replied. "Why ?" inquired your correspondent. "Because the result would have been secession within secession," was the startling reply. "The original con­ federacy would have split into half a dozen smaller confederacies, warring with each other, till we would have had in North America the same terrible con­ dition of affairs that we see in South America. Why, the very bait that was to be dangled under the nose of Louis Napoleon to induce him to recognize the new government presaged that re-, suit exactly. The French and Spanish Creoles of Louisiana," continued the gentleman, who is a prominent resident of that State, "never have been and never will be reconciled to the transfer of their allegiance from France to the United States. The old and influential families among them prefer a strong and showy monarchy to a plain re­ public like ours. They would jump at a chance to resume their connection with France or Spain. Soule was fully possessed of this view when he sailed to Europe to secure the recognition of France and England. He carried with him secret proposals from leading French Creoles to Louis Napoleon, to the effect that if he would assist in throwing off the yoke of the Republic, and thus give them a chance, they would, iu a few years, so shape affairs in Louisiana as to bring about the se­ cession of that State from the new con­ cern and its annexation to France." " Would not that have precipitated a new war?" "Those men did not think so. They held that they had the right to secede from the new government, just as they did from the old government, and that Jeff Davis and his followers would have been estopped by their own theory from preventing their withdrawing from the Government which they fought .^pr. But the unexpected power developed for the Federal Government on land and water thwarted the plan. Napoleon got scared and retreated from the position he was assuming, so the Con­ federacy went down. It was a good thing he did, too." Plantation Philosophy. De man what 'peers ter be in de bes* humor when he's in trouble, 'minds me o* de calacanthus, whut smells de sweetes' arter it's mashed.

[Amsterdam letter in Milwaukee Sentinel.] All the employes in every one of the diamond-cutting establishments in the city of Amsterdam are Israelites. It is a well-known fact that this city is the center and principal place where dia­ mond-cutting is followed. Everv re­ nowned gem of the first water has been cut by an Amsterdamer expert either in this city or somewhere else. The Koh-i-noor was cut in London,but a Holland Jew, Mr. Vogelsang, an em­ ploye of- the diamond-cutting firm of the Coster Bros., did the work, and it remains a lasting regret among con­ noisseurs, that his judgment as to the cutting of this "Mound of Light" was not foliowed. Mr. Vogelsang is at present past the eightieth millstone upon the roadway of life, but enthusi­ astic upon the diamond subject and proudly shows the visitor an auto­ graphic letter of Queen Victoria, in which the poor Jew of Amsterdam is thanked for his skillful manipulating of a stone valued then at $700,000. The letter Was accompanied by a present worthy of the high position of the writer, and Mr. Vogelsang's bank ac­ count was opened with a deposit of $4,000. The old gentleman's eyes shine like stones of high degree when telling that he received an order froni the King <pf Holland to proceed to London for the purpose of cutting the largest dia­ mond the world ever heard of and to rememl>er that the reputation of the Amsterdam lapidaries was in his keep­ ing. According to autlientio records the existence of the Koh-i-noor was known in 1304 beyond the shadow of a doubt, but traditions honored with belief in the families of Princes in British India carry it back fifty centuries. When Mr. Vogelsang took the precious gem in his hand for the first time it weighed 186 1-16 carats. He commenced the cutting July 6, 1862, and reduced the weight of the stone precisely 50 carats, it being 136 1-15 carats when the opera­ tion ftas finished. The old gentleman has been pen­ sioned by the firm his skill has made famous in the mercantile and scientific world, but his highest pleasure consists in talking "diamonds" to visitors. A few years before his retirement from actual labor he was sent by the Ern­ ies® of the Russians, and examined in bscow an uncut gem presented to the Czarina by . a Tartar nobleman and weighing 97 carats. At Mr. Vogel­ sang's advice the stone was sent to Am­ sterdam to be cut by him, and for seven months he labored faithfully to execute a task said to have been the most mar­ velous exhibition of a lapidary's genius. In the employ of the firm was a Polish young man of great promise as a skill­ ful manipulator of gems, who assisted in the difficult feat of smoothing the faces of the precious stones Every night when the day's labor was con eluded the valuable article was re turned to the hands of one of the firm who had it in custody when it was not on the bench. One morning, when it was being placed on the revolving disk and Mr. Vogelsang was in the act of oommencing his labors upon it, he fell to the floor in a faint All was com­ motion in the workshop, and when brought to consciousness the old dia­ mond-cutter's first words were: "My God, it is crystal." The gem belong­ ing to Russia's Empress, valued at $300,000, given into the custody of the largest diamond firm in the world, had turned into a piece of glass. Investi­ gation proved that the gem at that moment in the possession of the firm was crystal and worth about five gul­ dens, but that the Polish assistant had aided the simon-pure article to leave moisty atmosphere of the metropolis of the Netherlands. In the "English as she is spoke" by Mr. Vogelsang, "He was stolen entirely." Great was the excitement in the diamond centers of civilization. Telegraphic wires grew hot conveying descriptions of gem and thief into every police office of the Old World. For five days all trace of the Polish exile with his Russian possession was lost, when at 11 o'clock of the sixth night the electric messenger brought Mr. Vogelsang the cheerful intelligence that the compatriot of Kosciusko had been captured in the Jardin Mabille in sinful Paris, and that he had the dia­ mond in his pocket Mr. Vogelsang says he "bursted with joy," and nobody doubts. - Women of India* In the averages Indian family, writes Capt Richard Carnac Temple in a re­ cent paper, the strictest domestic economy is the rule of life, and the household work is done by the women of the household, not, as with us, by paid servants. Servants there are, of course, in all Indian families, but they are, as a rule, on a totally different footing from that of the European domestic, being, for the most part, in­ dependent persons with a clientele, for whom they perform certain customary services for a customary wage. The distribution of the daily work, down to the most menial kind, lies with the mater familias, who may be best de­ scribed as the oldest married woman iu the family proper, for widows can have no authority. The cooking, as the work of honor, she keeps to her­ self, but the house-cleaning, the wash­ ing, the care of the children, the draw­ ing of water, the making of the beds, and so on, are done by the less dignified members 6f the household, as she directs; and whatever is most menial, most disagreeable, and the hardest work, is thrust upon the bride. Not only is our bride thus turned into a drudge, often unmercifully over­ worked, but from the day she gives' up her childhood to the day of her death --it may be for sixty years--she is se­ cluded, and sees nothing of the world outside the walls of the family in- closure. She is also by custom isolated as far as practicable from all the male members of that little inner world to which she is confined. Free inter­ course, even with her own husband, is not permitted her while yet her youth­ ful capabilities for joyousness exist Every person belonging to the Europern races well knows how much common meals tend to social sympathy; how powerful a factor they are ill pro­ moting pleasurable family existence and in educating the young to good manners. There is nothing of this sort in Indian upper-class society. There the men and women dine strictly apart, the women greatly on the leav­ ings of the men, and that, too, in messes of degree, very like those in a royal naval ship. Pater familias dines by himself; then the other men in groups, according to standing, waited on by the women under fixed rules; and lastly the women, when the men are done, our poor young bride coming last of all, obliged often to be content, it need hardly be said, with the roughest of fare.

There nhoold be smoothness TliAt is what scores of men uay and great softness of texture; to the eye the texture should be close, the hairs standing out from the surface of equal length, not long and straggling. The heavier the substance is, in a given bulk, the better. In the case of blankets, the softness, thickness, and closeness of the pile, the closeness of the texture and the weight of blankets are the best guides. The non-conduct­ ing power of woolen fabrics lessens under continual washing; the soft fibers shrink, become harder and less absorbent In washing woolen articles they should never be rubbed or wrung. They should be immersed iu hot soap suds, moved about and then plunged into cold water; when the soap is en­ tirely removed they should be hung up to dry without wringing. Night dresses made of cotton are preferable.' In summer, a thinner material may be chosen; for winter use the so called "cotton-flannel" is the most comfort­ able. The night dress should be long, loosely fitting and button easily about the neck, lhose people who are habituated to sleeping with the arms uncovered ought in cold weather be se­ cured against chills by thick ubder flannel. All undergarments ought to be changed at night, and the undervest for night wear should be as warm as that during the day. The one removed on rising should be carefully aired with, the bed clothing; during the night the other should hang over a chair near the window. To dress and to undress in an ifatensely cold room is a hardship which should, if possible, be escaped. Wood-stoves, so rapidly heated, are better for chamlteis than those in which ooal is burned; light kindliugs soon warm them sutliciently, and the temperature quickly falls after the Bleeper has enjoyed his sponge bath and is comfortably ensconced in bed.-- Boston Herald.

' A Plcker-Up of Foreign Coin. A quiet, sedate young woman who wears glasses, always carries a couple of books, and looks as if she were an admirer of Browning, is one of the queer characters who hauunt the up­ town hotels. She is a shrewd young Jewess, in spite of her Bostonian ap­ pearance, and makes a good living by buying the foreign coin which is pick­ ed up at the hotels from travelers who exchange glittering foreign gold for the cart-wheel American dollars. The hote's get the coin at a discount, she buys it at a slight advance and dis­ poses of it in Wall street Her friends say there isn't a coin struck but she can tell at a glance.

Consumption.--Mrs. Edward Newton, of Harrcm'smitlu dat., writes: " You will ever be praised by me for tbe remarka­ ble cure in my case. I was so reduced that my friends bad all given me up, and I had also been given up by two doctors. I then went to the best doctor in these parts. He told tne that medicine was only a punishment in my case, and would not undertake to treat me. He said I might try Cod liver oil if I liked, as that was the only thing that could possi­ bly btive any curative power over consumption so far advanced. I tried the Cod liver oil as a last treatment, but I was so weak I could not keep it on my stomach. My husband, not feeling satisfied to give me up yet, though he had bought for me everything he saw advertised^ for my complaint, procured a quan­ tity of your' Golden Medical Discovery.'
