The PRIMER OF PoLITENEss: a
Help to School and Home Government,
By Alex. NJ Cow, A. 81. Philadelphia:

James Dryer. Price, rs cents.
This is a book for young people,
and is essentially a text book. The
aim has been to instruct in the prin-
ciples of politeness by illustrative
and interesting anecdotes, thus ina
printing the matter upon the mind
of the reader or student. The theory
is that politeness is not intuitiYe
but must be taught, and the proper
time to instruct is when the mind is
young and impossible. Thesubject
is treated in all its branches,-as tC
society, personal habits, language.
gracefulness and so on. Its a val
liable little volume, and will be the
means Of doing much good.

The extreme and natural reaction from
the late high prices of hops is causing sus-
picion on the part of spectators in the
interior, as well as in the market, that they
have made bad mistake in buying for a
rise. As illustrating the difference be-
tween profits in contemplation and losses
out of pocket the following, from the
Waterville On. W Times, is the point ::
"Mr. Woodruff, of Madison lately sold
20 bales to firm at 90 cents per h.,
which cost HIM 81. Thomas Garvey sold
to the same firm $50 bales,a 90 cents.
which cost him from 60 cents up" In
both instances, these sellers had opportu-
nifty to realize aprofit Like the dog in
the fable, they lost the substance in the
reaching out for the shadow, and close
their trades with many thousand dollars
subtracted from their bank account
From the highest point reached, hops are
now down more than 81 per pound-a
decline which quite overshadows any
shrinkage which has overtaken any other
products this year.

Learning the Koran.

1t used to be, perhaps it is now, customary
in country villages in the United States, to
give reward to that Sunday school scholar
who could rattle of correctly the largest mass
of verses from the Scripture. The Turkish
papers are recounting with pride feat of
this order just achieved in this city Two
very religious gentlemen, connected with two
important mosques of the city, lately got into
dispute as TO the time necessary to repeat
the whole text of the Koran. They finally
made a bet upon the subject. The winner
was to have the coat of bis opponent, and the
loser was to walk home in his shirt sleeves.
Both gentlemen knew the whole Koran by
heart, and large circle of friends assembled
to witness the contest. In fact the affair
created quite rs much interest as cock fight.
Both started off in fine style, giving, as the
papers put il, "what attention to the vocali-
cation and the proper sense of the text
was possible under the circumstances The
man who gave the challenge was worsted
His opponent, a well-know Imam, repeated
the whole Koran, from beginning to end in
six hours time. The vanquished Imam, not
relishing the prospect Of exhibiting himself
in the streets of the city in his shirtsleeves,
refused to give up his coat; and an appeal
was had to the nearest police station. The
inspector of police decided that the bet must
be carried out to the litter end; and the
newspaper in reporting the affair gives de-
vout thanks that the capital contains eamong
its other perfections a man capable of doing
such great and holy work in so short q
time = Turkish Cor. ". T. Tribune.

Great strides are making in the conquest
of frontier lands. A correspondent says
that Colorado has added l25, 900 acres to
her fertile territory for 1888. This is due
to reclamation of barren uplands of no
actual value and substituting an equal
acreage of land insured against drought
and assured of perennial crops forever,
This transformation has been effected by
canals of irrigation, outstanding mountain
streams in reservoirs and spreading the
waters over the land. California adds to
this years agricultural capacity tour
times as much land, and the extension
now in progress will add as much to next
years capacity.

D THESEyEN BIBLES OF TIE WoRLD.-The
seven Bibles Of the world are the Koran Of
the Mohammedans, the Fri Pitikes of the
Buddhists, the Five Kings Of the Chinese,
the three Ecdas of the Hindoos, the Zen
davesta, and the Scriptures of the Christi
ans. The Koran is the most recent of these
dating about the seventh century after
Christ. 1t is q compound Of quotations from
the Old and New Testament. the Talmud
and Gospel of st. Barnabas. The Eddas of
the scandinavians were first published in
the fourteenth century. The Pitikes of the
Buddhist contain sublime morals, and pure
aspirations, and their author lived and died
in the sixth century before Christ. There is
nothing of excellence in these sacred books
not found in the Bible. The sacred writ
ings of the Chinese are called the Five
Kings, the word Kings" meaning web of
cloth. They contain the best sayings of the
best sages on the duties of life. These
sayings cannot be traced farther back than
eleven hundred years before Christ. The
three Vedas are the most ancient books of
the Hindoos: and they are believed to date
not beyond eleven hundred wears before
Christ. The Icndavesta OF the 'Persans is
the greatest of the sacred books next to our
Bible, Zoroaster, whose sayings it contains
was born in the twelfth century before
Christ. Moses lived and wrote the Penta-
teuch fifteen hundred years before Christ:
therefore that portion Of our Bible is at least
three hundred years older than the most
ancient OF other sacred writings

IT SEEMS passing strange to every body
whose attention has been called to it, that
with all the millions of surplus money. for
which there is no use, in the Treasury, the
Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary
of the Treasury, or some one else
i'll authority, should not recommend
to Congress the expenditure of few
thousands in the purchase of an ice boat
by which to keep the harbor of the national
capital and its approaches open during the
winter. Now and for nearly month past
the harbor Of the District Of Columbia has
been practically blockaded by the ice. and
water communication with Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, this
city, and all other points trading with the
District, almost entirely suspended. The
chief point of obstruction is just below Wash
ington, whclc the ice from the Georgetown,
the Washington and the Navy Yard chan
nels meet and becomes SO packed that moth.
ing less than all ice boat can pass through
it without danger. With such boat to
open the way and keep it open at Giesboro
and at Fort Washington where lesser ice
gorge sometimes occurs, other steamers
would have little or no difficulty in naviga-
ting the Potomac even in the coolest weather,
and the federal capital have an open water
way to the sea, rs it should have, ull the
year round.
