The young ladies Of the Maryland
State Formal School are stated to have
made decidedly new departure In the
matter Of personal appearance, and now
appear without the frlzzes and bangs or
piccadlly fringe so commonly and In
many cases so unbecomlngly worn by
girls of the period. The metamorphosis
IL Is said to have come about by the
principal, Professor M A. Newell, who,
having had his salary cut down by the
Legislature, was probably OF the opinion
that there were some other things which
could also be curtaied in the school, and
particularly the time spent In curling
and crimplng, which should and could
be more prohLably employed. Ii ap-
pears that the young ladies took the
Professor at his word, and now appear
in all the glory of beauty unadorned by
pufIs, frizzes or bangs, and in ye primh
tive style of ye maiden of Puritanio age.
Even more than this, II is said on good
authority that the change effected does
not unfavorably disturb the tout. ems en-
ble of the school, but rather adds to the
general attractiveness.

Keep Yourself out of Sight.

A gentleman with fishing-tackle and
other necessary appliances, went forth
to stream where he toiled all day and
caught nothing. Toward afternoon he
espied little ragged urchin with u
tackle Of the most primitive order taking
the fish out of the water with marvel
Gus rapidity. Perfectly amazed, he
watched the lad for while, and then
went and asked him if he could explain
why he was SO successful, in spite OF his
meagre outfit, while the expensive ap-
paratus could catch nothing. The boy
promptly replied, The fish'l mo-
catch, sir, as long as ye dinna keep yer
sell oot o. sicht."
Here is a suggestive lesson for " fish
ers of men," They may spend much
care on style and rhetorical adornment.
in all of which they may attract much
attention TO themselves, and yet utterly
fail to win men to Christ. Keep your
self out of sight'-the wisest advice
that can be given--for only thus can the
sinner be brought face to face with the
Saviour. 8 For we preach not ourselves
but Christ Jesus the Lord and our
selves your servants for Jesus sake. -

Reverence.

A Minnesota correspondent sends this
to the Editors Drawer OF Harper's
Magazine for May:
"We have had for many years in this
county, as clerk of the District Court,an
intelligent and careful German, who,
during the sessions of the court is very
fastidious about violations of decorum.
Recently in an important trial some
what bumptious' young man from the
rural districts was called as witness,
and took his place on the stand without
removing his hat. He was then told to
hold up his hand, which he did, and
the clerk proceeded to administer the
customary oath, reading it from the
statute. He had read about half way
through, when, happening to glance up
over his spectacies, he noticed that the
witness had not removed his hat. The
clerk slowly lowered the book, and gaz-
ing intently at the young man, said
" Look here, sir, when you swear before
me and Gott, take Off your hat, sir ~

Tricks of Shop Llfters.

A NEW YORK merchant speaking
n of shop lifters says: When the
article stolen is a trifle, we watch the
woman so as to remember her face, but
usually do nothing more. Not frequent
ly we see thefts committed by women
that we believe are not habitually tres
passers, but were urged on by strong
temptation and poverty. Such women
we take to o private room. We tell
them our suspicion. If they confess
and give us what prove to be their right
names and addresses we let them co.
But all this is very delicate matter, and
to make u mistake Is very dangerous

the speaker, "very often wear great

The Coolest Town on the Globe.

Those who are dissatisfied with the
mild winter we have had can go to
Yakoostk, the commercial emporium of
all East Siberia-a town which Hum
boldt and other travellers have pro-
nounced the coolest on the globe. This
town, Jakatsk or Yakootsk, Is on the
left bank of the river Lena, $50 l. north
longitude 1892 44 east, and distant from
st. Petersburg 5,021 miles. The ground
remains continually frozen to the depth
of 300 feet, except in midsummer, when
1t thaws three feet at the surface Dur
ing ten days in August the thermometer
marks $50 but from November to Feb
ruary it ranges from 42c to 6So below
zero, and the river is solid ice for nine
months out of twelve.
The entire industry of the place-pop-
ulation about ROOFS comprised in can
die works, and yet it is the principal
market of Eastern Siberia for traffic
with the hunting tribes and the Buriats.
The former, mostly nomadic, having
large herds of horses and cattle, bring to
market butter, which is sent on horse
back to the port of Okhotsk The Bu-
riats, also nomadic, bring quantities of
skins of sables, foxes, martins, hares,
squirrels and the like,an many of them
are sold at the great fair in June, which
with May, is the active period of the
year. In May the collected goods are
conveyed to the seaports, whence they
are sent in every direction. The mer-
chandise, chiefly furs and mammoth
tusks, sold at the fair amountin value to
100000 roubles, ($3OOOOO)
The town stands on a plain surround
ed by lofty and dreary mountains. The
streets present q strange aspect, being
composed of houses of European stru Ct
ure, standing apart, while the interven-
ing spaces are occupied by the winter
yoorts'' or huts, of the northern no
mad tribes. These huts have earthen
roofs, doors covered with hairy hides and
windows of ice. There is q large stone
cathedral, another church, great stone
market place and wooden fort with
four halfsunken towers.
Its large trade gives this strange town
some importance-it being the empori-
um for, among other things, the trade
in the ivory from the fossil ele-
plants, which have been for untold ages
frozen into the ' thick-ribbed ice" ON
the shores of the Artic Sea, and in other
places in Siberia. These antediluvian
mammoths lived when Siberia was a
mild-mannered" country as to climate
and before the great and mysterious cat
aclysm happened that tilted the earth
over upon different inclination to its
orbit.

men who use It, and are liable to the
suspicion OF strainlng point in justlh-
cation OF their own selfindulgence.
On one point, though, believe the
authorities agree. No one denies that It
is damaging indulgence for boys. IL
means good deal when smoking is for
hidden to the pupils in the polytechnic
schools in Paris and the military schools
in Germany, purely for hygienic rea-
sons. The governments of these smolx-
Ing nations are not likely to be national
on that matter. But the use OF tobacco
by our American boys and young men
Is excessive and alarming. We ought
to save our rising generation for better
work than they can do If tobacco saps
the strength of their years, and makes
the descent easier, as, no doubt, 1t often
does, to worse vices. don't know how
to forgive myself for the temptation I
set before my Sunday School class of
bright boys,year after year by my smolS-
ing habits. / always hoped that they
didn't know that l smoked, but of
course they did. 1t isn't in the family
either that the sel6shness of habits is
most apparent. 1 don't believe, other
things being equal, there is any other
class of men who show such disregard
in public for other peoples comfort as
Tobacco users do. don't mean the chew
ers who spit In country churches and
leave their filthy puddles on car floors
They're hogs. A man would be consid-
cred rowdy or boor who should will
fully spatter mud on the clothing of q
lady as she passed him on the sidewalk.
But lady to whom tobacco fumes are
more offensive than mud, can hardly
walk the streets these days but that
men who call themselves gentlemen
and who are gentlemen in most other
spects-blow their cigar smoke into
her face at almost every step. Smokers
drive non. smokers out of the gentle
mems cabins on the ferry boats, and the
gentlemen's waiting rooms in railway
stations, monopolizing these public
rooms as coolly as If they only had any
right in them. can't explain such
phenomena except on the theory that
tobacco befogs the moral sense and
makes them specially selfish. Take the
people of Germany, for instance. No
other western people are such smokers,
and no others are SO boorish in their be-
havior-especially towards women. L
don't insist that one fact explains the
other, but have my suspicious"
The Majors train pulled in just then,
and, as he took my hand to say goodbye
its smoking car drew his parting shot :
See here. Did you ever reflect how
the tobacco habit levies its taxes on ev-
erybody The railway company fur
nishes an extra seat to every smoker,
which in the nature of the case, must
be paid for by an extra charge on all
the tickets of the passengers. What q
rumpus it would raise If the Legislature
should attempt to furnish luxuries to
any special class at the public cost in
this way. How we'd vote 'em down
vote against this thing by throwing
away my cigar"
