Traffic In Swiss Girls.
1 N EEARIOUR BUSINESS CONDUCTED IN
RUSSIA. AND - POLAND.
(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

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. When a stoo . of hair is
nolle . ted py traveIling age ts, it is as-
eorte , washed and cleaned Then each
hair is drawn through he eye of a
needl : and polished. Wh : n the stook
is re • . y for the market- in Europe the
