SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

In the calm blue light of q summer sea
A boat went fitting by,
And youth and maiden earnestly
Watched its beautiful white wings fiy.
They gazed a. only the young can gaze,
With longing, and joy. and hope,
And the white sail. lufing little, showed
The legend Of "SamsOn's Soap.
In the sweet stu light, another sail
Came fast and ever faster,
And the motto, bright. that 1t bore aloft
Was "DodsOn's Porous Plaster"
And farther OF, but hurrying ON
(F1erce roars the surf and louder,
Came sail with the sweet suggestion to
/" Use Lightning Baking Powder"
" How sweet" said the maid, cit is to SIT
At Natures feet, and adore her,
Reading and learning the virtues OF
The Thunder Hair RestOrer.'"

A Novel Theory Regarding Insanity.

A GERMAN physician has started q
pleasing theory with regard to insanity.
1t is, he thinks, mistake to look upon
it as an unmitigated evil. 1t is in many
cases boon rather than tho reverse to
the person Immediately affected. The
loss of reason lands the sufferer from q
sea of trouble into one of comparative
calm-often into one of decided hap
piness, and attempts to restore such q
person to sanity would be cruel rather
than kind. Moreover, he insists that
without q certain amount of insanity
success in life, in the ordinary accept
alton of the term, is quite impossible.
All ''eminent men," he contends, are
decidedly more or less mad. Many of
them are dangerous monomaniacs,
whom it would be desirable on public
grounds to shut up, but who neverthe-
less achieve grand careers, and are cred
tied with doing q vast amount of
good. This false notion he attributes
to the fact that the greater mass of
mankind are also insane and quite un-
able to distinguish between good and
evil. Whole nations are, he says, oc-
casi0nally seized, like individual per-
sons, with attacks of madness. and led
by eminent madmen either de-
stroy themselves or their neighbors.
These paroxysms are, he admits. un-
doubtedly dangerous, but when mad
ness is blended with just sufficient self
control to keep it within bounds and
prevent it from betraying itself, it
displays itself in nervous energy and
enables the lunatic to exercise immense
influence over his fellOw-creatures.

Fathers on the Bench and Sons at th,
Bar.

The London Law Times says: can
incident in the Briston County Court
raises question which we think is of
the utmost moment to the bench and
the bar. A son of the Judge appeared
as counsel before him and the counsel
on the other side declined to 60 on with
the case, as we gather, on that ground
alone. We think the Judge was wrong
in suggesting that this step could in any
sense be an insult to him." The Lon
don Law Journal says on the same in
cident: .In the United States the inn
preston has taken so deep hold that
an attempt has actually been made to
pronounce father disqualified, on the
ground of interest, to try q case in
which his son is engaged. Such views
say, altogether without foundation.
Judges sons cannot be ostracised from
the bar because their fathers were emil
inent lawyers before them. We do not
for moment believe that q single case
on record has been decided in favor of
a particular party because that party
happened to be represented by the
Judges son." But both journals agree
in the conclusion that the constant prac-
tice would be improper. The Times
says: ITO say that barrister should
never appear in a court presided over
by his father may be unreasonable. But
we most emphatically condemn the
practice of barristers adopting court
in which to practice over which their
fathers do preside or may preside
alone" And the Journal says: "This
appearance is not of sufficient impor-
lance to be taken into account in ordi-
nary cases; but still. if son attach
himself constantly to the court of his
father as Queens counsel in equity
attaches himself to a Vice Chancellor,
it must be admitted that an improperly
is committed"
The difficulty in the case is four-fold:
first, that a Judge will always be pre-
sumed by the populace to lean in favor
of his son; second, that the son will get

The Berlin papers state that early In
October in the present year an ordinary
sailing boat, well known on the River
Spree, win start from the Jannowitz
bridge for New York. The route win
lie along the Spree, tho Havel and the
Elbe to Hamburg, thence to Liverpool,
and from Liverpool across the Atlantic,
while the boat will return through the
West Indian archipelago to Lisbon. and
thence direct to Hamburg, the Elbe,
Havel and Spree. Four months have
been determined upon by the sanguine
adventures as sufficient period for the
daring voyage, which is for the first
time to connect as sister ports the great
cities of Berlin and New York. The
first thought of the undertaking was
due to q conversation at dinner Of the
Berlin Sailing Club. on the successful
ocean voyage OF two Englishmen OF
Americans in boat of sixteen feet in
length. A Berlin banker. q leading
member of the club, ventured the Opin-
ion that no German would dare to
undertake such voyage. The man
ager of q great place of entertainment
in Berlin, who was ormerly the captain
of German transatlantic steamer, pro-
pounded wager that he would find
German sailors and sportsmen who
would not shrink from the attempt to
journey all the way from Berlin, to
America in a little Spree sailing boat.
The wager was accepted by the banker.
and the sum fixed at 5000 marks.
which is to be paid on the day on which
the boat lands its passengers after the
completion of their voyage at the Janno-
WITT bridge. There seems to be no
lack of volunteers for the extraordinary
adventure, and the National Zeitung
states that q naval lieutenant and
Berlin journalist are accepted as two of
the companions of this Prussian Odys-
sev.-BOst0n advertiser.

Remarkable Presence Of Mind.

A LAMPL1GHTER in Leeds, England.
while making his rounds, at haIf-past
four in the morning, noticed flames
bursting from booksellers house. He
gave the alarm, but the firemen arrived
too late to save the house. two stories
of which were already blazing. The
bookseller and his wife, who slept on
the third floor, appeared at the win
dows in their night-dresses and called
upon the firemen to rescue them. The
husband ran down the stairs leading
from the bedroom to the second floor
to ascertain if it were possible to escape
through the shop into the street, but he
found that the stairs leading from the
second floor were on fire, and he was
severely burned. fastening back to
his wife, and closing the bedroom
door to prevent the dense volume of
smoke which now began to roll up stairs
from suffocating them, he tied . num-
Der of sheets and blankets together,
and fastening one end round his wife,
lowered her from the window into the
street beneath. When she was still
some distance from the ground he was
compelled to let her drop, but she was
caught by the firemen and escaped un-
injured. He then leaped on the coping
of the shop, and thence into . blanket
held out to receive him by those below.
All this time the fire was raging fierce
ly in the small shop and the room
above, and few minutes after the in
mates had been saved the flames burst
through the shutters. Few men in so
great an emergency would have shown
such presence of mind.

The title of Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, borne by the British Minister
of Finance, has been in use since the
time of Henry l. That monarch formed
the clerks Of the Royal Chapel into
body of Secretaries or Ministers, to
conduct the affairs of the Kingdom.
Their head was called the Chancellor.
and when they regulated the finances
of the country they sat around table
marked into squares, like checker
board. on which the accounts were rem
dered.

Cormorant Fishing in China.

CoRMoRANTs are used for river fishing.
The most celebrated place for breeding
them is T'anghsichen. The inhabitants
are believed to possess a secret in cor
mountaineering which gives them special
success. The cormorant's book name
is lu tzu, and the common name yu ying
Cish-hawk), or yu va (fsh crow. The
females lay yearly from three to nine
eggs, but the eggs of the first season
(frst-mOon) are the only ones retained
for Matching, which are given to hens
to hatch, as the female cormorant is a
careless mother.
The eggs of the second season are not
used, the weather being too cold. The
young birds are first fed with mixture
of beancurd and raw eels' flesh cut fine.
When they have attained their full size
a string is tied to one leg, the other end
of it being fastened to the bank of a
pond or canal, They are then made to
go into the water, the trainer whistling
peculiar call, and using bamboo to force
them. Small fish are thrown them,
upon which they pounce greedily, as
they have been kept on short allowance
of food. They are now called back by
a different whistle call, and forced to
obey by means OF the string. AS they
reach the shore more fish is given them
This teaching having been gone through
daily for month, another four or five
weeks are spent in training the birds
from boat, AT the end of this period
the string is generally dispensed with,
The teaching being completed, the
cormorants are fed sparingly. A small
hemp ring is tied around their necks to
prevent them from swallowing large
fish, and they are taken on board the
small boat called cormorant boat " TO
the number of ten or twelve. They are
now as docile as dogs, and sit perched
on the side of the boat until they are
sent into the water by a whistle from
the master. They dive after fish, and
bring their prizes to the boat firmly
held in their hooked beaks. When
fish is too large for one bird three or
more join their forces and capture it to-
gether. After fishing two or three hours
the birds are allowed TO come on board
and rest. At the end of the day the
hempen string is loosend or removed
altogether, and they are either allowed
to fish for themselves or are fed by the
hand of their master. A cormorant
holds out for five years.

The Corset Candidate.

cock worse than ever man was beaten

leg by stufling his tight breeches with
bran. 1t was his only weakness, and
he was a man of fine intellect. Advent
well untik by mortifying accident,
his breeches got ripped one day, when
his plump leg collapsed in the presence
of lords and ladies. That fixed him.
1t will fix Hancock. ,........
That corset will become famous. 1t
will ridicule the Democratic candidate
out of the campaign, and possibly de-
throne his reason.
There may be thousand better rea-
sons why Hancock should be defeated
than because he wears corset, but
none will be so potent. 1t will laugh
