SCHOOL 100 YEARS AGO.
The B1«U IHs«1pUb« Little Mary FalrflM
Woe Called Upon to Undergo.
It was not in this joyous fashion,
however, that school presented it
self to another and far brighter lit
tle girl, Mary Fairfax, who was
born over 100 years ago, and who
afterward became Mrs. Somerville
and one of the most learned women
in England. Mary was fortnnate
enough to live the first ten years of
her life by the seashore, the happi
est, wildei t, shiest child that ever
played all day long on the yellow
sands and made huge collections of
shells, and weeds, and pebbles, and
other treasures brought her as play
things by the waves. When it rain
ed and her mother would not per
mit her to ran out, she read over
and over again the three books
which formed her library—“The
Arabian Nights,” ‘‘Robinson Cru
soe” and “Pilgrim’s Progress.”
Now and then her father, who was
an officer in the English navy, came
home from sea, and finding his lit
tle daughter as ignorant as a child
could be he made her read alond to
him every morning a chapter of
Home’s “History of England.”
This was all her education until
she was 10 years old, when one
dreadful day her parents sent her
to a boarding school, a small and
very expensive boarding school, kept
by Miss Primrose, who was so state
ly and so severe that hei pupils used
to say they never saw her smile.
Thanks to the healthy outdoor life
she had always led, little Mary was
straight and strong as a young In
dian, hut that did not save her from
the ingenious tortures designed for
stooping children and which she de
scribes for ns in her memoirs:
“A few days after my arrival I
was inclosed in stiff stays with a
steel busk in front, while, above my
frock, bands drew my shoulders
back till the shoulder blades met.
Then a steel rod, with a semicircle
which went under the chin, was
clasped to the steel husk in my
.stays. In this constrained state I
and most of ihe younger children
had to prepare our lessons. ”
Think of it, you luxurious little
people who prepare your lessons
lolling on rocking chairs, nestling
in sofa corners or lying comfortably
on warm hearth rugs before oheer-
fnl fires! Think of studying a whole
page of Johnson’s Dictionary every
day, spelling, definitions, even the
very position of each word in tb*
long columns, and all the while un
able to lean backward or forward
or turn your head from side to side,
unable even to see what the girl
next to yon was doing. That was a
discipline which must have made
home and the dear shining ooean
sands a picture of paradise—of para
dise lost—to poor, tired, timid Mary
Fairfax. And the worst of it was
she learned so little at Miss Prim
rose’s school that, when she escaped
for her first holidays, she covered
herself with disgrace by writing
“bank knot” for hank note and was
severely scolded for being so idle
and wasting, such golden opportuni
ties.
She was taught to sew, however,
very neatly, and in after years she
grew so passionately fond of study—
of real, hard, severe, uncompromis
ing study—that it was necessary,
when she was 15, to take away her
candles, so that she might not sit
up half the night over her books.
Even then she used to arise at day
break, wrap herself in a blanket—
not being allowed a fire—and work
away at algebra and Latin until
breakfast time. She wrote a number
of valuable works on scientific sub
jects, andshe lived to be 92 years old,
proving that neither hard schools
nor hard study is certain to short
en our days.—Agnes Repplier in St
Nicholas.
Hot to Bo Fooad la tho Report*.
A prominent Philadelphia lawyer
was narrating to a younger advocate
some of the delays and complica
tions of a chancery suit in whioh he
was engaged. “Bless me," said the
junior advocate, “I never heard of
anything parallel to that exoept
Jarndyce versus Jarndyce.” The
other at once looked thoughtful, and
pretty soon, pleading an engage
ment, went off. The next morning
he went into the younger man’s o£
fice with an air of great vexation.
“Look here»” he said. “Why can’t
you remember names accurately?
Here I’ve spent the whole night try
ing to find that case of Jarndyce
versus Jarudyoe that you mention
ed, and there isn’t any snch case in
the Pennsylvania law reports at all l r
