One Of the Bores OF the Period
is he who has passed . few weeks abroad, and
Is continually thrusting the fact into your no
tice, and descantlng upon the sights he saw or
the acquaintance he formed. The circumstance
that he rushed with lightning speed through all
the places Of note In Europe does not detract
from his immovable determination to have his
opinions accepted respecting the people, their
governmental institutions, material progress or
achievements In the arts and sciences. There ia
no such blunderer as the travelled bore. His
bird's-eye views of foreign lands are so mslead-
ing that brief European trip makes him tre-
mendous receptacle Of misinformation, which is
forced upon unwilling ears In season and out of
season. As the London Truth says, s.if you want
to be able to talk nationally and not too much
about any foreign country, never go there.
the well-worn tag about the traveller changing
his sky, but not his mind, Is all moonshine
When man returns from foreign country
especially II he has only been there week. he
leaves his mind In 1t. "-B0ston Tr0nsc5ipe

breakfast such as had never before been
served up in Berlin was last week set before DR..
Hermes. the director of the Aquarium, his fam
lily and some invited friends-scrambled snakes
eggs A few days before an Indian python,
lately received at the institution, had laid fifty
i've eggs. From thirty of these DIR. Hermes had
the singular dish prepared in the presence of his
guests. They were broken up into frying-pan
containing the requisite modicum of melted bat
tor. The eggs have no yelk. but are filled with
grayisi-white liquid; the shells are neither
hard nor brittle. as in birds eggs and after
being emptied of their contents resembled pieces
OF leather. The taste of the savory plate was
hkened TO that Of mashed potatoes mixed with
rice All the guests but one partook heartily.
Az apparatus has recently been put up at the
Aquarium for the artificial Matching Of these
eggs, and we may soon hear Of native Berlin
boare0nstrictors.

From Manton's Field Botany"
Specimens should be gathered, when possible,
in fine weather. If taken in wet weather, or If
water plants, the moisture should be shaken
from them, and they should be dried as much as
possible before putting to press. When the
weather Is very warm the vasculum Ga tin box
for cOllecting may be lined with large leaves,
and its contents occasionally sprinkled with
fresh water. This will generally keep the speci-
mems in good condition. As rule, specimens
should not exceed sixteen inches in leugth, and
the entire plant, with its root, should be pre-
served. If you will examine plant you will
find that often the lower leaves differ very much
from the upper leaves, and many times only
by means of the lower leaf, or the one or two
above it, Is it possible to tell the kind of a
plant. Therefore, when the plant is 30 large
that it is impossible or incOnvenient to save it
entire. you must preserve the top or some of
the branch leaves and the lower part of the stem
having the first or seed leaves. Ii it is not prac-
ticable to retain all of the root enough should
be kept to show the nature of the plant. Speci-
mems should always be either in flower or fruit
In the herbs both will often be found existing at
the same time on plant. At least two leaves
OF fern should be preserved, otherwise the
specimen Is incomplete. Do not hold specimens
in the hand any longer than is necessary, as the
warmth hastens whiting. Make note of local
ity where collected on a slip Of paper and at
tach it to the specimen before putting into the
vasculum. Plants should lie with their roots
together at one end Of the box. AlgR (sea-
weeds, ETC., should be placed in wide-mouthed
bottles. containing, if seaweeds, salt water;
otherwise, fresh water. The bottles may be car
ried In small basket. A small scoop-net at
tached to telescope handle will often prove of
service in taking specimens from the water or
from pools between rocks. which are otherwise
inaccessible. The best time for collecting alga
Is after storm, but a plenty will always be
found on the seashore early in the morning.
Drags and fishermen's nets often contain choice
and rare specimens.

One must walk or drive over the smooth

down Connecticut avenue south, to see the
magnificent residences that have risen within
five years. Don Cameron led off with house
that numbers some thirty rooms, four stories,
with mansard above. 1t could not be built

house next to it, and over the way Senator
window has just settled his family in an ele-
giant home. Further on, reside Justice Harlan
and Senator Vance, and on the next street,
Chief Justice Waite, Representative Bingham,
OF Pennsylvania, and Representative Washburn,
OF Minnesota, all in houses that would be con-
sidered handsome anywhere.
Across Dupont Circle stands Mr.. Blaine's
new house. that is to be finished by next au-
tumn. 1t is square, three stories. with man.

From the Congregationalist

In the bitter waves Of woe,
Beaten and tossed about
BY the Sullen winds that blow
From the desolate shores OF doubt,
Where the anchors that faith has cast
Are dragging in the gale,
am quietly holding fast
TO the things that cannot fail:
know that right is right;
That 1t Is not good to lie;
That love Is better than spite,
And neighbor than a spy;
know that passion needs
The leash OF a sober mind:
know that generous deeds
Some sure reward will find:
That the rulers must obey;
That the giverS shall increase:
That Duty lights the way
For the beautiful feet OF Peace:
In the darkest night Of the year,
When the stars have all gone out,
That courage Is better than fear;
That faith Is truer than doubt;
And fierce though the flendS may fight
And long though the angels hide,
know that truth and right
Have the universe on their side:
And that somewhere beyond the stars.
Is Love that is better than fate;
When the night unlOcks her bars,
] shall see Htm-and will wait

carriage stopped in front Of Tom Lees
cigar store. and woman in costly attire mo-
toned to Chinaman who stood in the doorway
to come out. AS he approached the carriage
she said
II have just discharged some of my servants,
and want two Cinnamon to take their places.
Can you find me such2'
Chow much you want to pay?" was asked.
"AbOut $12 O month and board. They can
come home at night. My housekeeper will want
them at in the morning"
81 don't think can find you servant at that
price, the Chnaman said. "The poorest worker
gets $40 week in laundry, and then works
only parts Of six days"
The carriage moved on.
ut Is the biggest piece Of nonsense to suppose
that Cinnamon will work cheaper than other
persons OF the same grade and condition of life
as they" the English-speaking Chinaman said,
turning to person who stood by and heard the
foregoing conversation.
"But is it not true that they work cheaper than
almost everybody else?" the person thus ad-
dressed inquired.
"Just wait moment and let us see," the
Chnaman said. "YOu get your shirts washed
by Chinese laundrymen, don't you? Yes, well,
do you pay any less to the Chinaman than to the
Irish or to the American laundryman?"
"a good deal more than to the Irish laundrg-
woman, and trife more than to the American, :"
was the reply.
"Did you ever buy anything at a Chinese
store?" was the Chnanan's next question,
Eyes, two or three times"
And did you pay less than elsewhere?"
GA little more"
"That woman" the Chinaman went on. "is
one In about five hundred that have Deen here
lately to hire Cinnamon as servants. Some of
the watering place hotels have asked for Chinese
help: Farmers from the west stopping at the
hotels here. have called to see about Chinese
labOrers, but they found it cheaper to take bows
or girls from an institution home with them
The Chinaman spends as much money as any,
body else who works for his living and does the
same grade Of work and excepting those who
are put under the necessity of taking any Job
they can get in order to comply with the condi-
lions under which they got money to come here
Cinnamon will not work tor less money than
others would get for the same labor"
