(from the London Truth.) The way in which the traffic in young girls -for that is what it really amounts to -is conducted, is viRidlydescribed in. a brochure written by M. Louis Hoff - Mann, master in a public school at Eorgemont, who hiving been a private tutor both in Russia and.Russia Poland speaks with authority. There are 22. agents he says in St. Petersburg, 21 at Moscow, and 3.0 at Warsaw, for pro- viding Russian families with foreign governesses, tutors and bones. Most of these- agents make their requirements known through advertisements in Swiss papers, and many of these have cor- respondents at Geneva or Lausanne, to whom applicants are instructed to apply. The representations made to young women applying for places are always highly colored. Places at fair salaries they are told, can be assured to them before hand in highly respectable fitmflies-=•master and mistress generous and amiable- life easy and advance- went. certain. Inquiries as to character and qualifications are not very search- ing, and the testimonials required are generally easing furnished. The agent's remnuneration'consists of a commission of ten per cent on the amount of the, first year's salary, a like commission being paid by the employer, which is also deducted from the aspirant's salary (although she did not know it at the time of her engage - merit.) When a dozen or more young women have put down their names as accepting situations real or imaginary,a lady comes from Warsaw or St. Peters- burg to conduct them to their destina- tion. The journey is performed as rapidly as possible, all expenses being paid by the duenna-of course on ao count of her charges:; Arrived in War- saw or elsewhere, thetrios are placed in lodges kept by the agents. Some are informed that Mme. X , Y or Z - , is not . ready to receive them. ; others learn to their horror that Mme. A or B has changed her mind:, or that tired of waiting she has found a gaverness for- herself. On these and other pretexts girls are often - retained in the agent's house atleast a fortnight, often for several weeks. They are lodged in crowded and unwholesome rooms. For supper they have two cups of tea and a morsel of villainous bread ; for breakfast the same. For dinner soup, bad vegetables and detestable water. For this they are charged from 8tl t-oIOO kopecks per day. What with the expenses of the journey, the com- mission and the charge for lodging, the agent contrives to get the girls into her debtfor the whole of their first year's salary, and the law allows her to retain all her debtor's effects as security for her claim. In Poland the salary of a governess varies from 12 to 25 roubles a month (from 30 to 60 shillings), of a bonne from 25s to 35s. In Russia,how- ever, salaries are 100 per cent higher than in Poland. But owing to fluctua- tions in the value of the rouble, these figures are little more than approxi- mate. Monsieur Hoffman says that,. although the rouble is worth nominally 3.231to 3.,60f, its purchasing power for most of the articles a governess would be likely to buy, cannot be reckoned as more than a franc as compared with its valuein Switzerland. When this would be governess at length reaches the goal of her ambition and receives and appointment her troubles, with a few exceptions only begin, The family by whom she is en- gaged live probably in some wild place in the country, 20 or 30 miles from the nearest railway station. She finds her - sell' among; people with whom she has not a single ideain common, of whose language she does not know a word,and whose habits,.as likely as not, shock her sense of decency. If she be good- looking she will probably attract the comproming attentions of her master or her master's son, and whether she does or does not, she is almost sure to in- cur the bitter jealousy of her mistress. Her duties are hard and monotonous. Society and arnusement are equally laoking, and if she should fall ill - a contingency in the circumstances by no Means improbable -she is left entirely to such care as the native servants may choose to give her. If she dies there will be no loving hand to close her eyes, and she will be buried in an unvisited grave. Should our governess become a prey to homesickness and resolve to re- turn to Switzerland, the carrying out of her: intentions will depend altogether on the good pleasure of her master. If he does not want her to go (unless she is a person of unexceptional strength of character).go she does not. She cannot travel without money, so he postpones the payment of her salary. If she writes home for money he intercepts her letters, and if she wants to reach the railway he refuses her the means of conveyance. She has become a slave in fact, and there are hundreds of Swiss - girls in the interior of Russia and. Poland who have passed years without being able to communicate with their hones, and whose friends know not whether they are dead or alive. More than one such case is within the writer's own knowledge. A girl has been engaged as governess or bonne on terms that seem to be highly favorable. Heee kinsfolk accompany her to the statin and see her off, and they never see or hear of her again. Inquiries are made without effect, letters come back through the dead letter office. Even if the parents know or suspect where their daughter is what can they do ? How can a struggling Swiss father make a journey to the banks of the Don, the Dneiper or the Volga, in search of a lost child. Maria Mitchell. For nearly 20 years Maria Mitchell has been the presiding genius of the Vassar observatoy, and with every June, writes a correspondent of the "Woman's Journal," as regulary as commencement itself, has corue the "dome party" for the student;, of her department. Ono never finds her in finer mood than %hen the hostess of the dome. First and foremost, Maria Mitchell is au interesting wornan, or- iginal, stimulating. Her racy talk is free from cant or conventionality, aired often gives the listener an electric shock. Her spirited salutation imparts the im- pulse to conversation. Her surround - Ings are at oncethe chief topics of our talk. The parlor in which we find our- selves is curiously divided , between (society and science. Behind the rail- ing at one etand the chronograph ofd the sblemn sidereal clock. Between them, in the vine -framed window, is a bast sof Mary Somerville, presented to Vassar College by Francis Power Ciebb. Two tall book oases contain a frie dly crowd of books from Laplace's "Me ani- que Celeste" to the volume of L ng - fellow. Here is a picture of Humboldt in his study, there some astronomical cups and saucer, each . adorned with an astronomer's' portrait. On this table are books of autogiaph letters from many of the people best worth knowing on both sides of the Atlantic. The vines of the window gently sway to end fro in the still June morning.. On one side we look down into a quaint ittle garden, with a suggestion of old world sleepiness. Het* grow the first roses and the last chrysanthemums.` From the opposite window we see broad, rolling lawns, and beyond the distant Catskills. But the last guest has ar- rived and breakfast is announced. We form inline, precedence being regulated by the years of graduation. Up a fight of steps, through heavy baize doors',and we are in the dome -itself. Over our heads the great jequatorial telescope points silently heavenwards, itself a work as marvellous as the wonders it reveals. In its solemn presence our chatter seemed frivolous; but we reflect that this is the one dayin the year on which thejgrim old telescope desiges to "receive," except for strictly scientific purposes. Highland Austerity. A young man, Professor Blackie tells ns in his new book "Altavona," was walking to church one Sunday, in the Island of Skye, in company with an old gentleman. It was a bright 'day, and they had a long walk together,some ten miles or more, es is not at all un- common in the Highlands. The young man bad been taught, of course, that conversation on secular subjects was not allowed on the Lord's day ; besides for a. young man to commence conver- sation in company with a graveold elder might savor of forwardness, so he refrained and refrained once again when the word was already on his lips. At length when more : than half the way was left behind, and not a word uttered by his grave companion, unable longer to contain himself he ventured timidly forth - with the brief u ter- once :. "A beautiful day this!" "Yes indeed, young man, it is a b an- tiful day ; but is this a day to be t ik- 1 ing about days ?" Don't Find Fault. In the first place, does it pay to be continually finding fault ? It is a ery easy matter to pick Saws in any p ece of work, for no one's work is per ot. Fault-finding often becomes chr nie and grows on a man just as an vil habit does, increasing day by ay, There is nothing so disagreeable a to visit a home where fault-finding is Con- tinually going on ; where, at the break- fast, dinner and tea table, no pleasant word is spoken, but instead each one is finding fault with the other for some trifling error. I do pot mean that error should not be rebuked, but when the evening twilight is gathering, when the work of the day is over, then kindly call the little ones around you and gently and solemnly tell them of their wrongs, and see if you are not much better re- paid than if the little heads had drooped all day at the angry, glances and frowns on your face. There are many things every day that annoy us, but don't make life sadder by finding fault. The world might seem much pleasanter at all times if we would forget to fret, frown and find fault. 1 I O Jefferson's' Saw Mill. The following stn is told of Presi- dent Jefferson, and has a goodpoint in t.: -Jefferson wes agreat man, but he was far from practical in some things. When be was in France he was very mach struck with the utility of wind- mills. He thoughtlthey were wonder- ful institutions andjcost so little to run. He owned a large quantity of timber on a mountain much higher than Monti- cello, about a mile bff. He purchased 'n France a wind " ill and the ma- chinery for a saw ill at the cost of about $13,000, and ad it taken to the op of tho mountain. He had for a eigbbor a bluff old fellow named Cole.. ne day Cole came' to see him an& efferson took him pp to where he was; t. aving the mill built. It was as much = s they could do to climb the steep! ascent. When Cele recovered the breath be had lest getting up thet ountain he said, 'Mr. Jefferson you have a splendid saw -mill, and it is a splendid place to patch the wind, but ow are you going to get the logs up here to saw from ? The author of the "Declaration of Independence" started like a man suddenly awakened from a delightful dream, '.and quickly said, "Hey, Cole, how ? 1What ?" and them relapsing into abstraction, led the way: down the mountain towards Monticello. .1The wind mill yuan never completed, and S ears after the machinery was sold for old iron. I 1The Demand for Natural Hair.* There is at present a scarcity of fancy human hair in the market. The scar- estehair is pure white, and its value is constantly in creasing, and if it is nn - usually long, that is, from four to five eet, the dealer can get almost his own (price, while if it is of ordrnary length it his worth from $75 to $150 an . ounce. he fact that pure white hair is the eonrt coiffure in Europe keeps the de- mand for it very high. Moreover, it is imuch prized by American women whose own hair is white, and `who de- sire to enrich its folds, for white hair held to give certain distinction to the wearer. There is no fancy market for grey hair. Itis too common.;, It is used Ito work into wigs of persons who .are =rowing old. What is described as olden Bair, is either a washed-out pale ed, or a'dull blond. The gold color so uch valued has no relation to the red ,air, except in the vividness of its col - ring. The demand for the virgin gold olor is great in the capitals of Europe. woman who gets a coiffure of it is considered fortunate, A young Brook- lvn lady of rn twit beauty possesses a splen- did wig, which she chanced tis find in a hop in Nice. She was a blond but had a scanty supply of dull hair. It didnot take her an instant to decide to have her hair cut short and to wear the wig. There are four type -colors of hair white, blond, black, and brown -and each of these has been subdivided into sixteen different shades. The common- est types are black and brown, and these are cheap. Golden brown is muph in favor, aa.ia pure black, or what is called blue blank, or, whose natural hair, streaked with gray, shows in con- trast with the false covering. . Next 'to pure white hair 'the demand is for hair of 't e color of virgin gold. There are man braids made of hair colored to meet the demand with certain prepara- tions but they prove nnsati`sfactory. Man 1 foolish women have sought to exah: nge the color of their own hair tress; s, but they have uniformly repent- ed t e attempt, A fine suit of hair of the r • rest blonde types will sell for from 0303 to $500. -It is said that the Elmp essEugenie paid 1,000 francs an ouno: for a braid of golden hair that eXao,ly matched her own. The laegest' supply of hair comes from Fran e, Switzerland and Germany. The oonatry fairs are attended by e,gen s of merchants in London, Paris end 1 ienna, who ingratiate themselves into he favor of young girls and per- i cad them to sell; their tresses for glass prime, en a or other gew-gacts. Only at inter she's a prize like a p=rfeot nit of golde,• hair obtained, and it is said that there are orders ahead in t e shops of Pari and London for alb the golden hair hat can be obtained in, the next eve $ , years.
