BRITISH OPINIoNs.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says Of the American girl in
England: Like the wind, she goeth
where she listeth, but every man know
eth WHENCE she cometh. She arouses
the hostility of English matrons the mo
ment she sets foot on British soil. Few
of them are aware that she has been
selfassertion, like her brother, from in
fancy. Such training shows itself in
her manner, which CRATES as harshly on
British feelings as her voice too often
does on British ears''

The Berlin correspondent of the
London Times writes: "Russian gov
eminent missionaries stationed at Hako-
dadi writing to the semi-ofiicial Church
Messenger, triumphantly relate the
steady progress of Orthodoxy in Japan.
The conversion of the Japanese to the
Russian religion, they say, is universally
considered by the japanese as a guaran-
tee of their success in the great work of
introducing European culture and civil
ization."
Let patience have her perfect work
and bring forth her celestial fruits.
Trust God to weave in your little thread
into the great web, though the pattern
show it not yet. When Gods people are
able and willing thus to labor and wait,
remember that one day is with the Lord
as thousand years and thousand years
as one day the grand harvest shall come
to its reaping, and the day shall broaden
itself to thousand years, and the thou
sand years shall show themselves as a
perfect and finished day.-George Mac.

About 80 years d. C., Hero. Of Alex
andria. formed a toy which exhibited
some Of the powers Of steam, and was
moved by its power.
A. ID. $40, an architect arranged sev-
ernl caldrons Of water, each covered
with the wide bottom Of a leather tube.
which rose to a narrow top, with pipes
extended to the rafters Of the adjoining
building. A fire was kindled beneath
the caldron, and the house was shaken
with the efforts Of the steam ascending
the tubes. This is the first notice Of the
power Of steam recorded.
In 1913, June IL, Brasco de Garay
tried a steamboat Of 900 tons with toler-
able success, at Barcelona, Spain. 1t
consisted of n caldron Of boiling water,
and q movable wheel on each side Of the
ship. 1t was laid aside as impracti-
cable. A present, however, was made

In 1880 the first railroad was con-
structed at Observation-Disclosures.

Absurdities Of Costume.

Speaking Of the present style Of ladies'
dress, we read of an English lady who.
after succeeding in seating herself, was
unable to rise without assistance, on ac-
count Of the tightpess of her over,lress.
What her sensations were must be i'm
agined. A woman who wears this un-
becoming garment might as well he con-
fined by a straight-jacket. She has no
power Of locomotion left worth having.
II she have naturally the gait Of We
nus, she can only move on with that
painful wriggle which we see in place
Of free motion; and the crumpled mass
of shirred ruf1es and anticipating and
French folds, which we call an over
skirt, flop after her like tho tail of a
whipped Newfoundland dog on q wet
day. She cannot step across-a wet spot
in the street-her clothes are too mar
row-she is tied back too tight. She
stumbles into a car and out of a car
riage; danger waits on her at every step.
The new bustle-that abominable pig
eon-coop, reaching to the very ground
which every lady of fashion must wear,
completes her discomfort. She cannot
sit down in it comfortably, yet she must
wear it; for, though she is the subject
of ridicule with one on, she is an object
of remark if seen on the street without.
She knows that she makes an absurd
spectacle of herself; the clothes jump
from side to side; as she walks, the bus
tie heaves and tumbles about like the
keel of q small schooner "in blow, "
and sailor would feel incliIied to cry
out, " Steady the helm there; hold her
fast!" The short hustle is a little ab-
breviation in length, but utterly uD-
manageable when the unfortunate
wearer desires to sit down. If woman
makes up her mind, sic will sit down
in spite of the whalebones. The loos-
ened bones penetrate through their COW
ering, and stab her in the back; she
knows that the diabolical concern is
crushed hopelessly out of shape, and
that when she rises she will resemble a
broken-backed barnyard fowl, or small
camel with an unusually eccentric
hump; yet, martyr to fashion as she is,
she bears it all as only devoted women
can bear ife's ills, and never dreams of
discarding the source of all her woes;
for is it not the fashion? Fashion, fash
ionl how much have you to answer forl
Make amends for past cruelty, and
speed the time when women can dress
with taste, comfort and decency.-

A Remarkable Dun.

A business man in New Calisle, Ind,
has issued a circular letter to his credit
ors couched in the following terms:
My DEAR SB:-I want to ask you a
plain question in all Kindness and sin
cerity, and l would like to have you an

have the legal tender in your trousers to
pay his Just and lawful demands, worse
than you would to see an Indian, and

dated felt perfectly easy and contented,

money and waited patiently for wheat

WHY WE COUGH An italian investi-
gator has been studying the cause of
coughs, and has come to the conclusion
that they are the result of the presence
of q parasitic fungus in the air pas
sages. In severe cases the parasite null
tiplies, and takes possession of the lung
cells. Cuinine is said to possess the
power of stopping the microscopic
fungi, and is therefore recommended as
remedy. The italian doctor has sue
cessfully used powder composed of
the chlorhydrate of quinine, one part;
Bicarbonate of soda, one part; gum ara
bic, twenty parts. The soda is intended
to dissolve the mucus, the gum arabic
to increase the adherence of the powder
on the bronchial passages. The blowing
in of the powder should take place dur
ing deep inspiration of the patient, so
that it may penetrate the windpipe, the
chief seat of the microscopic fungus.
The remedy, whatever may be the truth
of the theory on which it is founded,
has the merit of simplicity; and if its
application did little good, it could not
do much harm.

Nor ASHAMED OF WoRK.-Two Of
the most agreeable. girls we ever met,
kept a grocery store-yes, and kept it
veil, though they had been rich mans
daughters. When that father lost his
wealth, and became confirmed invalid,
did they sit down and wiring their
hands? Did they go moaning all their
days, begging men to give them little
sewing, little teaching, little copy
ing? Not they. They began, in q small
way, to keep dry goods and grocery
store. They gave fair measure and right
change. They kept what people wanted;
and if anything was called for which
they had not. they put it down in the
list of their purchases. They had the
cleanest, the incest grocery for miles
around, hired clerk, bought horse,
built house, and are at this moment
independent property-holders, as well
as piquant and agreeable women. 1t
paid them to step out of the beaten
track, and find new road TO fortune.

TIE French Legislature has decided
that fish culture shall form apart of the
programme ofall farm schools. This was
a branch of industry formerly much cul-
tivated in this country, especially in
reference to carp, which is u most pro-
life and easily propagated fish. Weight
for weight, it fetches nearly as high a
price as beef, and no farm stock can
manufacture flesh SO rapidly as carp.
Any pool of water can raise the fry; at
two years Of age they must be trans
ferred to larger spaces of water, and

Woman's Nature.

Some wives are not happy who appa-
rently have good husbands. Thev have
married men who are sober, il dustrious,
economical, good providers, and who
ore respected and esteemed by their
neiphbors as good citizens. Where,
then. is the trouble? These men do not
understand woman's nature. She is en-
nbatically emotional. Her affections are
rery strong. 1t has been said that love
;s only part of mans nature, but it is
a voman's life. She is not willing to
take anything for granted. Do not,
then. be chary of affections language.
Tell her you love her, and show her by
vonr every act that you mean what you
sav. If there comes a bright, pleasant
afternoon, go to the house and take her
with you on buggy ride; no matter if
Won are busy planting corn, you can get
a man to work all the afternoon for fifty
cents. Talk to her of old times; let her
see that you live to make her happy
that she holds the first place in your af-
fections. Praise her attempts to please
Won. Let her see that her efforts are
sppreciated; and when the ride is over,
and YOU note the sparkling eye, the elias
tic step, and the bright, happy smile,
YOU will feel more than repaid; and one
thing more let me tell you. Such rides
and such treatment are wonderfully po-
tent to keep the doctor-aye, more, the
undertaker-from your door. Remem-
ber, then, always, that happiness is a
preventive of disease. Does your wife
love flowers? Then give her what
ground she wants; give it freely, as her
right. Assist her when you can. Try
to sympathize with her tastes. Consult
her on all important subjects. Does she
love music? Then get her an organ or
piano, even if it be at the expense of
great self-denial. Does she love htera-
ture? Then get her books and papers
Crafty her tastes. Let her cultivate her
mind-'tis immortal. Let men and
women both cultivate and develop their
finer qualities. There is something in
this life better worth living for than
mere dollars and cents. In the world
beyond there is eternal progress toward
perfection, and the more we develop
and cultivate the immortal mind here,
the higher will be our rank and position
in the world to come.-Er.

AN ELEPHANT FIGHT IN INDA.-Fo OF
the elephant fight proper the contending
pairs are carefully trained and prepared
beforehand, with stimulating food and
drugs, and advantage is also taken of
the periodical frenzy displayed in the
male elephant, which is known as must.
At such a time of natural excitement,
the elephant becomes fierce and fOrmid-
able even to his keeper, and only to
lead two such beasts forth into the arena,
and to show them for O moment the
waving trunk of the distant female,
produces q degree of pugnacity which
wants little additional encouragement.
When the fight does begin, such as
can look with pleasure on these things,
behold colossal duello. The enormous
creatures charge like mountains rolling
together, their tusks clash and clatter.
their huge feet delve chasms in the dust
and scatter it In the clouds; and they
rear up their hind legs and wrestle for
mastery, with an agility astonishing as
is their senseless fury. The trunk, ear
and flank are the weak places, as the
beast well knows; and what with each
keeping his own clear, and seeking to
seize that of his opponent, SO that he
may force him aside, and drive an ivory
under the elbow or hawk, or wiring off
his leathern ear, one and the other pro-
boscis fly about in the air like the arm
of an infuriated windmill. Shrill sig
mails Of fear or rage, of victory or defeat,
accompany the rounds, for the wrathful
elephant blows his own battle music
continually, and screams with tremen-
dous anxiety when he is getting the
worst Of it. Presently some advantage
is gained, and blow or q dig which
would annihilate anything but leviA-
than is dealt, whereupon, ordinarily the
sagacious brute VINO has fought in vain,
knows that he is defeated, and quite de-
clines to stand up to any needless pun
ishment. He turns tail and trots of
ungainly and discomftted, and covered
with dust and blood, and pursued lit
tie while by the victor, who soon, how
ever, is content 10 trumpet out an in
sulting blast, and range the arena for
another foe. 1t wants considerable skill
at such moment to slip the foot ropes
on the triumphant monster and get him
out of the way; but this is managed by
the adroit mahouts, either by cunning
approaches, or bringing in couple Of
females. Sometimes a weak elephant is
forced to the earth, and gored or
stamped till he dies, but generally they
live to fight another day, provided that
the tusks have not been fitted with
steel points, which is occasionally prac-
ticed.

STUDENTS FUN.-A professor, a teach
er of German, was once very much dis
turbed by an unruly bench of juniors.
At last, in his despair, he exclaimed:
''That bench will leave the room and viii
stay outside"
Whereupon the young rascals carried
out the bench and left it outside aad
blandly returned to the room.
"No, no, said the professor, "I do
not mean that, mean that the young
men viii go out and the bench will re-
turn"
So the young men brought back the
bench and sat on it, as though that was
all that could be reasonably expected of
them.
Another professor, who was the pink
of propriety, was sadly Disconnected in
the midst of q lecture upon Edmund
Spencer by a dozen rough and sporting
characters, who came into the room
without knocking, with all manner of
dogs to sell.
Finally one man let the cat out of the
bag (if we may use such an expression
in a dog story by presenting dirty
scrap of paper which read as follows:
Wanted-A Dog any breed will
answer; highest price paid for mongrel
pups. Apply to Professor -, room
No. 3, University. Bring the dogs
between the hours of ten and eleven.
On another occasion, this same pro-
fessor said to student who had blum
dered terribly through recitation:
'"How far off are you from fool?"
"I suppose, :" replied the student,
measuring the distance between himself
and the professors table, "about seven
feet and half."-AppletOn's Journal.

A good story is told of an old shoe
maker. he was charged with practicing
unlawful arts as an ague-charmer. "I
cure people" said he. ''by pretending
to do it; people believe 1 can cure the
ague, and when they come to me 1 say
/ can cure them. Bidding them wait
till my. return, I go into my garden, cut
a twig of some tree, make nine notches
in it and bury it in the garden; then 1
tell them l have buried the ague with it.,
and they have such confidence in me
that the ague leaves them.-Philadel-
