The Discontinued Young Woman.

There is the discontented young
woman who '.has aspirations which
she longs to crafty. She wants to go
on the stage. She wants to be a great
authoress. She wants to sit high up,
and be seen, and courted. and talked
of, and admired, and envied. She wants
to rule over many empires, and scorns
to rule over one of which she is now
the lawful Queen. Her children are
neglected, her husbands best coat is
moth eaten, her kitchen LEFT entirely to
the servants, her pantry full of croton
bugs. her household marketing given
over entirely to menials. She thinks
this work beneath her. She has
aspirations. Kitchen government is
not in her aspiring catalogue. Govern
ing household has for her no aspira-
tons" Her ambition scars ABOVE such
things. She can not get up an interest
in such occupat ons. She does not
know that the MUD which fails of in
terest in one field of effort may in tn,
end so fail in all fel.is. She has yet to
learn that the governing mind governs
in all fields, and that to excel only III
one is to be the slave of that one. 1t
was he who was faithful over the small
thing that was set to rule over the
many. 1t was the servant who buried
his one talent that was cast out as I'M
profitable 1t is the mind disciplined
to rule with order and method in one
field that learns to rule with order and
method in all fields. What is gained
by the disc pline in one field of effort is
good for any other field. Peoples sue
cess in this world depends very much
in knowing how to do the right thing
at the right time and in the right place,
and this is best learned by beginning
practice on the work before
US. aspirations too, are good
things. but the steps upward and

The People Of Canton.

I wish it were possible in this short
sketch OF Canton to convey some ade-
1uate idea of this marvellous place to the
reader-its crowded streets. well-filled
shops, swarming population, myriads OF
boats on tie river and restless energy.
But no word-picture can give notion
Of this strange city, which is supposed
aow to have nearly 100000 of inhab--
ltarts, and to be built on less space than
an English town of 10000 people. Not
an inch of space seems to be wasted.
The streets. too narrow for any vehicle,
and in many parts only lust wide enough
for couple of sedan chairs to pass each
other with difficulty, have on either side
Of them houses of several stories, all
crammed with human beings, who live
heaven alone knows how, but are full
of energy and perseverance, and appear
to be perpetually in motion; while the
boats IN the river, which are estimated
to contain nearly $4,000 people. many
of whom hardly ever step ashore. are
tenanted by populace that rests hardly
night nor day, and exists under condi-
tions which would be impossible to any
Europeans. Yet these people are in the
enjoy ment of health; they are not so
big az the Cinnamon of the North, but
they are wiry and strong; their women
pull the boats all over the river with a
force that would shame some English
men, and there is cheerfulness every
where which can but be observed.
Strange to say, too, there are very few
obnoxious smells in the whole Of
this thickly-populated place. and
the streets. even in wet weather,
are extremely clean. / know
many an avenue in London which could
not compare with these Chinese thor
oughfares for healthiness, and yet there
can he no drainage. The fact is that
all refuse in this highly cultivated
country is held to be valuable, and is
carefully carried away every morning
to d stance from the town, where it is
saved up and used for enriching the
soil. And so it comes about that, by
this plan of utilizing the sewerage Of
the city, the place is kept sweet and
epidemics and czymotic diseases are al
most unknown. 1t is true that the Can
tonese have the reputation of being dirty
eederI, and certainly the pressed ducks,
fat polk, strange fish, and, worst of all,
the cat and dog stalls, bear out the
charge to 3 great extent. But think l
detected humorous twinkle in the eye
of the Chinese cook, who saw frying a
cat in the Chiu-hing street. and my
guide declared that none but the low
est Cantonese ever thought of devour-
ing tabbies. That the little ''chow"
dog was regarded as a delicacy there
was every evidence to show, and learnt
that his hams were estimated at two
dollars a pound. But, after all. we in
England eas the red mullet and the
duck, of whose habits the less said the
better; so that. perhaps, the consump-
zion of ''chow" dog may not be so very
dreadful. There was, on the other
hand, a Chinese restaurant where 100
different dishes might be had, while
some of the food VIII Oh 1 tasted was as
delicate in its flavor and as clean in its
appearance as though it had been
cooked in cafe on the Boulevard dies

Etiquette in Holland.


have no idea of attempting to tell
anything new about Holland or the
Dutch. But there are some things about
domestic etiquette and the like
that only a woman would no.
tice. of which l may write,
and which are just what sour Dutch"
practiced. The man is ''lord of ALL in
Holland, and woman is almost without
the shadow of estimation. The typical
Dutchman hasn't a particle of the chiv-
alrous about him, and abounds in the
arts of sighting and impertinence. He
is sort of a bear, tame and good
natured, but still full of the bruin ele-
ment. His country women are actual
ly afraid of him, especially when out
side their own door. The Dutch woman
lives in constant fear of insult; and
when she is out on the street she acts as
if she was afraid that her ursine broth
ers were going to bite, paw or hug her.
Not that the men are dangerous, for
rarely is it heard that the bears have
bitten. Look out on the street, and you
will see that the ladies walk in the road
and the gentleman on the sidewalk. AL
ways so, no matter how muddy or dusty
the road is, or how many teams are
passing. Watch them, and you can not
help but notice that the gentlemen and
ladies never speak to each other on
the street. That would be a breach of
etiquette that society would hardly par
don. Even when man meets his wife
he is not permitted to ask what he shall
bring home for dinner! The gentleman
bows first, the same as in France, and a
lady may have bows from any number
of men whose names she does not even
know. And the bowling is marvel.
The forehead almost touches the knees
in the act, and there is no halfway work
about it-no nod1ing or a sweeping
touch of the hat, but an entire removal
of the hat to supplement that intense
bow. Everybody bows, then all take off
their hats to one another and profound
ly bow. Your friends coachman or
lackey does the same toward you as his
master does, and the servants are just
as polite to each other. A lady is
bowed TO by all the friends of her
father, husband or brother, and your
housemaid's friends as well. Every
man bows to- the house of his lady ac-
quaintances when he passes; bows,
smiles and raises his hat, no matter
whether the ladies are visible or not. If
they are visible they return the bow
with an over-polite bend of the whole
bOdy.-COr. Boston Herald.

A Volcano In Arizona.

Il has long been known that little
butte, rising about the center of the
Santa Cruz Valley, some nine miles
south of Tucson, has crater. 1mme-
diately after the earthquakes of last fall
in California, different people. some
miners and farmers, who live in the vi
cinity of this particular butte, for which
there seems to be no name, observed
smoke issuing from its summit. A
party of boys out hunting reported
hearing strange noises emitted from the
same butte, and they were afraid to go
near it. A majority of the residents in
the vicinity generally discredited these
statements, Still, no one felt possessed
of enough curiosity to satisfy himself.
Last Thursday prospector said that
when coming from the Omega copper
camp he certa My saw smoke arising
from the top of the butte. Two gentle
men who went out hunting to Arivaca
some three weeks ago wandered off
from their road, and one night camped
at the base of this volcanic butte. They
heard strange, rumbling sounds in the
night, as if water was boiling or some
hard blasting was being done
far beneath the earth's surface.
They did not explore the hill,
not knowing of the existence
of any crater there. These different
rumors determined the Citizen reporter

If there was anything extraordinary

left Tucson to investigate the alleged
crater. An old Indians trail led up
over several well-defined lodges, till the
summit was reached. Here the eharac-

Irish Conger Eels.

al was reading in the Sam the other
day q story of big eels and sea snakes"
said an old fisherman. who once caught
mackerel and behring's off the deep sea-
coasts of Ireland, but now earns his liv-
ing by grabbing in Newark Bay. IL
don't think the average American has
much idea of what real big eel is.
When they see one a little larger than
usual they say it is serpent. If they
saw the congers off the Irish coasts
they would have some reason to call
them serpents; for you know there are
no snakes in Ireland. ST. Patrick drove
them all into the sea. and it is COM
mon superstition that they became
conger eels. You can't find them any
where else in the world. OF course
they catch eels here, and everywhere,
that they call conger, but they are no
more like the Irish conger than
q sprat is like saD0on, l know it
is hard to credit it, but have caught
scores of them, each ten feet long and
nearly as thick as a mans thigh. They
are only to be found in the deepest
water, and are fond of lurking under
great rocks. They are caught with a
stout line and hook. and will grab at
any bait offered them. But fishermen
don't much care to hook them. and
when one is hauled into a boat he
makes, usually, an unwelcome addition
to its occupants. He lashes around
like a boa constructor. He never at
tacks man, but if your foot gets into
his mouth you must take his head of
to get it out again. An Irish fishing
crew, however, is not likely to be long
bothered with him. They daze him
with blow from boat hook and then
cut deep into the back of his neck; but
even after that has been done he must
be watched, or he will pass quickly over
the side and back into the sea.
Dublin, l suppose. is the best market
for conger cells, and after we had caught
a lot of extra big ones we used to run
for Kingston harbor, and land them on
the pier. Ladies strolling on the pier
often nearly tainted at seeing one
going straight at them. 1t was impos-
sible to persuade them that the eel did
not intend TO attack them. The fact
is congers get stone blind when they are
a few hours out of the water, and have
no idea where they are going. They
will live for days, however, out of their
element.
"No, not even in the sea viii conger

Personnel Of Congress.

The following luxurious facts from
the Congressional Directory" are pub
lished by the Washington Star:
Of the twenty-six Senators who were
sworn in at the beginning of the present
session only twelve are new to that
body. The other fourteen were simply
continued in the Senatorial harness by
reelection. Mr.. Morrill, remains the
patriarch of the Senate, though his col
league, Mr.. Edmunds, looks older, ana
is invariably taken for the Oldest MEM
Der of the body. Mr.. Kenna, of West
Virginia, is the junior member, and is.
perhaps. the youngest man who ever
attained the dignifed and exalted po-
sition of Senator. When elected he was
not thirty-five years of age. Senator
Anthony ranks all others in point of
service, having now entered upon his
fifth term. Senator Edmunds has been
reelected three times. and Messrs.
Bayard. Salisbury, Ransom and Morrill,
have been twice reelected.

Eight native Kentuckians are now
members of that body. Ohio comes
next with seven, while New York has
six. Georgia. Tennessee, Virginia and
Pennsylvania each have four. Maine,
Maryland. New Hampshire, New York.
North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Vermont and Virginia have native
sons in the Senate. Three natives of
Ireland (Messrs. Jones, of Florida. Fair
and SewelD, one of Scotland (Beck),
and one of England (Jones, of Ne
vada), are Senators. Ohio furnishes
two Senators for Indiana and two for
Iowa, the four gentlemen representing
those States having been born in the
Buckeye State.
The House of Representatives con-
tains twenty adopted citizens. Messrs.
Finerty, Cullom, Lowry, Collins, Nc
Adoo. Barr, Davis, of Massachusetts,
and Robinson. of New York, were born
in Ireland; Messrs. Morse, Breitung,
Muller, Deuster and Guenther are
German; Crisp and Spriggs are
English born. Hardy, Buchanan
and Henderson first saw the
light in Scotland. MIR. Nelson is
a Norwegian, and Stephenson was
born in New Brunswick. The oldest
member of the House is Mr.. Wait. OF
Connecticut; the youngest member is
MIR. Post. of Pennsylvania. The only
native of Washington in Congress is
Mr.. Gilbert NJ. Woodward, of Wiscon-
sin, who was born in this city in 1885.
The States of Connecticut. Delaware,
Maine, Maryland, Rhode Island. South
Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont send
solid observation-disclosures and Repre-
sentatives-of native-born citizens. In
the House there are thirty-five native
sons of New York. thirty-three of Penn

comes Kentucky and Virginia with sew
enteen each; Massachusetts, and Ten!

sixty-seven are lawyers, though several
of this number have practically aban-
doned the law for other pursuits.

Experimenting on His Lawyers Head.

Christopher Dunleavy, driver of a
United States mail wagon, was tried
yesterday in the General Sessions for
beating and robbing Michael Fleming.
He said that he quarreled with Fleming
and struck him, but did not rob him.
..How hard did you strike Fleming?"
asked Judge Cowing.
"Tl show you, Judge" replied Dun
leavy. "Just this way"
Turning suddenly he struck his coun-
sci, Lawyer Coleman. resounding
blow with his open palm on the side Of
the head. The lawyer sprang away in
evident CONSERVATION. Judge Cowing
joined in the laughter of the jury and
the spectators. The jury convicted
Dunleavy Of assault and battery, and
Judge Cowing sentenced him to the
penitentiary for six months.-N J. sam.
