for the ten thousandth time.

right ahead of me, and he struck the
boat underneath with his prolonged
jaw, knocking it out from under me,
and fell straight over into his mouth. !"
'sWhat did you think then?" asked a
listener, as the captain paused.
Thought was goner," answered
the captain, especially when he shut
his mouth on me. But he was, fortu-
nately, in the agonies of death, too
worried to think of me, and after giving
me one savage crunch, he blowed me
out of his mouth, covered with blood.

captain; Though, after good while,
he recovered, with the ugly wounds that

his quid and calmly firing at the box of

EnUl;sh Goffee Tayerns.

Statements which are made at the re-
cent annual meeting OF the Coffee
Tavern Company, in London, show that
this movement for providing the work
ing classes with innocent and healthful
places of resort, is proving avery great
success. The operations of the society
during the year have more than doub-
led. Eight new houses have been OPEN
ed, and music licenses have been appli-
ed for by eleven of the taverns, and
granted 10 five In an address at the
meeting, Lord Derby remarked that q
in Liverpool within the last two or three
years, and that a few months ago,
thinking to give it lift" he deter
mined to buy some of the shares, but
discovered, to his surprise, that there
were none to be had. The enterprise,
which was started with benevolent
purpose. had become not only self
sustaining but profitable, and the
shares stood at a high premium. At
Manchester and some other places,
there had been similar success. Lord
Derby expressed his opinion that people
should have their choice as to what
they would drink; but, hitherto, there
had been but very few places where a
man could get a cheap cup of anything
but that which would make him drunk,
and the workingman usually has had
to drink beer or go thirsty. The coffee
taverns crafty the social instinct and
afford pleasant places of resort, and the
extent to which their patronage has de-
veloped shows how much they were
needed. Boston Journal,

their surface, representing another in
veStment of at least S270, 900. The ex-
treme average life of the fencing is Is
years, and during that time the painting
must be renewed st least twice, or if the
owner have any pretension to tidincss,
four times. These figures, which are by
no means overstated, will give some
idea of the amount of money that is
thrown away in fences. When it Is
considered, too, that 999 of the gates
belonging to these fences are woeful
failures against the casual dog; that they
either will not shut or else will not stay
shut; that if they do shut they shut with
such bang the paterfamilies is always
on thorns for fear his children S fingers or
his dogs tail should be sacrificed; and
even as the interposing medium between
procrastinating ''spoons," the front gate
is really nothing but nuisance, deriv-
ing all its pleasant memories from as
sociations only; it will be seen that the
case to be made out against front fences
and their concomitant gates is simply
crushing They have, in fact, only the
one little redeeming point previously
indicated, namely, that the young cub
of the human species has apparently
been born with respect for fence
which is in realty no barrier whatever,
but only the symbol of a barrier-the.
survival in fact of the moat, drawbridge
and portcullis, which were once the pre-
requisites of sound nights sleep.

GUS fences are innocent of all utility
except that they exercise some slight
restraining influence upon tbe hordes
of young barbarians who prowl about
seeking for mischief to commit. Probab-
ly few people have any idea of the
amount of money which is wasted in
these fences. Assuming that we have
100 miles of street so adorned, this
makes 1, ,O56, 900 feet of front fence; and
taking the lots to be of an average width
of 80 feet; and the houses as standing
at an average distance of 10 feet from

1t is finished. The grand Gothic pile
which in inception, in promise and in
construction, has stood in the focus of
religious and national interest for
twenty generations, has at last reached
completion, has been distinguished by
the ceremony of dedication, and now
takes it's place as one of the most mag
nifeent monuments of history. We
have already called attention to the rise
and progress of this lordly and impos-
ing edifice. For more than six hundred
wears it has been one of the leading fea-
lures of the city of Cologne, and the
question has ever been not when would
this massive structure surrender to time
and decay, but when would time and
enterprise of quickened thought and
purpose carry to completion this work
so nobly planned? Its prospects have
indeed looked dark at times, as dark as
the ages through which its towering
heights have stood; but its fortunes rose
with the barometer of progress and
enlightenment, and it stands to-day in
its grandeur the finest specimen of
Gothic architecture upon the footstool,
and triumph of the artistic ideas of the
past. When it was planned the refor-
nation was in the remote future, an
agitation undreamed of. The trans
forming influence of that religious rev.
olution upon the thought of Germany
has given to this work character very
different from that which lay in the
minds of its pious founders. The total
absence of the Catholic clergy at the
dedication is proof enough of that.
Whether this absence was due to the
wish of the German Emperor, or to the
preferences of the clergy themselves.
we can not tell; but, in either event, it
is to be regretted. Even tradition
should have had more honor paid it, and
evident, as well as recorded, purpose
should have been a platform broad
enough for the representatives of Cath
olic and conservative church and Prot
estant state to meet upon in dignitied
commemoration of the great events of
the past and hopeful dedication to the
good of the future. The German En-
peror wished to make it tho seal of
united Germany, but his national spirit
was evidently warped and fettered by
his prejudiccs. The glory of empire is
far more to him than the consistency of
history He has discarded the past, and
has refused recognition of all the sig
niiicant eras in the progress of this
monument, except so far as it reflects
German enterprise at the present time.
We are glad that the world has such a
monument and such Il historical shrine,
and, whatever Kaiser Wilhelm may
think, it will mean much more to the
visiting hosts of all nations than the
glory and consequence of his imperial
majesty.

Giving a Flavor to Meat.

Prom Land ami Water.
The following amusing story, told me
by the late Bransley Cooper, was after
ward published in the life of his dis
tinguished uncle, Sir Ashley Cooper.
1t is stated that upon one occasion of the
Athlete Club meeting at Mr.. Coleman's,
at the Veterinary College, he promised
Mr.. Norris, President of the Royal
College of Surgeons, who was a great
gourmand, that he would give him
Joint of beef from Markham's and
ordered fine sirloin to be sent on the
appointed day. The party met, the
promised beef soon made its appearance.
The host cut for his friend Norris. one
ultation, inquired if it were not to his
hearts content. To this Mr. Norris
replied, 1.-THE beef is good beef, but it
is not my friend Markham's.'' "Poohi
Poohr' said Mr.. Coleman: s.rll swear
it is, Norris, for I called myself at his
shop and ordered it, and this morning
had it delivered at my house by his own
man; but l may be wrong, Norris; how
ever, to decide the matter, if you please,
I'll lay you 3 bet of dinner for the
nrty that it is Markham's beef
The butcher was sent for. Coleman
put the question: '.Mr. Markham, all
have to ask of you is, was the beef
your man left here this morning your
own meatp'' '.No SIR" said he ssit was
not. / have to make a thousand
apologies; for although you yourself
gave me the order ten days ago, l never
thought of it till looked in my book
this morning, when knew had moth
ing in my shop that would answer the
purpose. 1 therefore myself went to
every butcher in the market and picked
out the finest piece could find, and l
hoped it would prove satisfactory; but
the beef is not mine" Norris laughed
heartily at the successful display of his
gastronomic faculties, and the whole
party joined in the fun against Coleman,
who was generally so sagacious in his
bets as to make it quite a novelty when
he lost. The secret is this: Markham
was in the habit of buying stock much
older then butchers usually buy for GER
tain of his most peculiar customers, and
afterwards feeding it himself in some
peculiar manner before bringing it to
the slaughter-house. So superior to
that of any man of his day was his beef
considered. that many persons, of whom
Mr.. Norris was one, would pay the
most exorbitant prices for meat to be
supplied by him. Mr.. Norris was the
grandfather of Lord Penzance and
several of the Wilde family.

Shut the Door.

The education of our youth is sadly
neglected in one direction, and that is
in closing and fastening doors after
them. Careful observation has salts
fed US there is no use of trying to teach
some people that accomplishment. 1t
appears to be a natural and, probably,
an inherited inability, just as with some
people there is no such thing as know
ing one tune from another, as with
others it is impossible to acquire facility
and Eandiness in the use of tools.
Modern ingenuity has tasked itself to
make up to !. suffering world for the
incapacity or negligence of people who
never close a door by the application of
weights or springs that will automati-
caily do what every man, woman and
child ought to do instinctively. But
these appliances themselves shirk their
duties; and they are not susceptible of
universal application.
There ought to be a thorough course
of instruction in our schools in the art
of shutting doors. The first lesson
would inculcate the elemental and
simple duty itself. Boys and girls
should be kept passing doorway, each
one opening and closing the door for
himself and herself until not mothers
son or daughter of them could leave q
door ajar. Then the finer features of
the accomplishment might be intro
duced. There are people who always
slam door; there are others who hold
it open and close it so slowly that
whole procession of diseases, including
colds in the head, catarrh, sore throat,
diphtheria, inflammation of the lungs
and the epizootic can march through,
and the mercury of the thermometer
has time to get down into his boots.
But without becoming too fastidious
it is important that every one should be
taught to close the door and fasten it
in some way. The amount of time a
professional man spends, and the dis
tance he travels in his Office, in Jump
ing up and closing the door after people
who neglect that duty would astonish
one who had never given the matter
thought. Be kind enough to shut that
door.

A Proof of His Innoeenca.

AT one of the seasonal divisions of
Dorsetshire, England, a certain we'll
known tradesman was summoned for
'.killing and taking" pheasant. He
was defended by the George Lewis of
the neighborhood and acquitted, the
magistrate remarking that it was dis
graceful to subject a respectable man
to such a prosecution. So delighted
was the defendant at the result that he
insisted on his advocate dining with
him. In due course pheasant was put
on the table, and it was pronounced to
be a most excellent bird. EYES," said
