A Fre,chman's Experience With Crabs at
Rockaway Beach.

A Frenchman's Experience With Grabs at
Rockaway Beach.
A Iarty of Frenchmen who were out
sailing on Jamaica Bay were caught in
a suoden squall the other night and
compelled to stop over at one of the
small. hotels at Rockaway Beach. One
of them, a late arrival, was greatly
exercised over the discomforts of the
place, and complained bitterly about
the lack of elegance in the fittings and
the i%nadequacy of the menu to satisfy
a refined palate. A member of a fish
ing club, who had been out grabbing,
c%ourteolsly gave up his room to the
foreigner, and shared the bed of one
of his companions. But in vacating
the apartment he left behind his fish
ing tackle and a basketful of the crabs
he had caught.
The Frenchman sought the chamber
rather late, and retired at once. Dur
ing the night he awoke. and fancied he
heardla noise that was not the murmur
of the surf on the beach beneath his
window. He sat up and listened. Yes.
He Was sure of it then. A strange,
scratching sound. In a moment
he was out of his bed, for it
came from the floor underneath
his feet, and from different parts of it,
too. In a fright he CROPPED for his
matches and struck a light. Then
with a yell he made for the door. The
basket in the corner had tilted over and
released the crabs, which were strug-
| Cling about all over. In the gloom
the frightened foreigner could hardly
make out the appearance of the mis-.
%shapened creatures, and he never
stopped to investigate.

self from the charges of exaggeration'
and misstatement of facts in regard to
the Congo region. In conclusion he
says: !
Gordon accused me of being too:
literal. He asked me, in a letter to,
me when he found that my conduct in
Africa had been the subject of Parlia-;
mentary debate, why [ was foolish
enough to say anything about it, and
if | had been compelled to fight. If I
had not said So, no one could have
charged me with having been violent
toward the natives but General Gordon,
and other people who blamed me for
my candor forget that it was a news
paper enterprise of the Herald and
Telegraph which sent me there, and
therefore I was bound to be as literal
and as faithful as though ( had no con-
Germ with these events. In the same
way I have endeavored to be Just as
candid and literal in my descriptions
of African climate, scenery, manners
and customs as though 1 had no con-
Germ whatever in Africa; for 1 have
told you in my preface bluntly that it,
is immaterial to me whether you do
anything to Africa or not. My duty
lies in giving you a faithful description
of what I see. Hence l think they are.
unjust who charge me with exaggerat-;
ing. have a fond feeling for Africa,
1t: is true I like Africa. I think
Africa capable of what I say It'll
is; but | say there is a way of pro-
ducing that %capability to its fullest ex-
tent without endangering your own,
life, and / give you certain ideas as to,
how you should endeavor to conform
yourself under the new regime re-:
quired by a tropical climate.
CHOW, as 1 have no pecuniary inter-
ests in the Congo or Africa, / think,
the terms fraud and sswindle' are a
gross misuse of words, and to say that
a man 'exaggerates' when he simply,
states his candid opinion is also a mis-
use of the word. Though I say these
things, it is immaterial to me what you
do. My duty is, just like Emerson, to;
teach men by going about my own
business; and it was my business to-
give you a faithful impression such as
l had of Africa and the things I saw.
l have no further interest in it. No
body is required to do anything for
Africa unless the spirit moves him.
There are fields as open in Africa for
Americans, if they are enterprising
enough and have the proper CONNER,
cial spirit, as there are in China or any
other part of the world. I have dis
covered a field where the white mems
enterprise can do a great deal of good,l
not only to themselves, but to the
natives. That is really the raisonj
d'etre Of all 1 have said. I have tried
to open this new field for the worlds
enterprise. At the same time I beg to-
say that it is perfectly immaterial to-
me whether they do it, because there
is no loss to me or to any of the officers
of the Congo State, who have nothing
at all to do there except to do their
duty, get their pay, and come home
and be happy"

SEASlCkNESS.
S~elf-Control a Potent Element in Conquer
ing the lnfirmity.

| Se11.COulTO1 d LoVcuJ LISel1cuC LII OOkl4uCE-
ing the Intirmity.
Captain John Goldman declares that
he has succeeded in warding off sea-
sickness by what he calls s%elf-control.
He states that when the sickness first
comes, the victim will notice that he
invariably '.braces up his nerves and
muscles against the foe. He uncon-
sciously tightens and stiffens his chest
and abdominal muscles. What he
should do is the very reverse. Captain
Goldman says: ''When the first symp-
toms are felt, undo everything that con-
fines the waist; do not lie down, but
remain quietly seated, and let your
whole frame and structure respond
easily and freely to the motion of the
vessel, even adding swing and sway by
your own effort. The stomach will
soon grow accustomed to the novelty
of the thing, and you will soon be
knowing to the full the Joy of the per-
petual restlessness of the oceans life.
Have faith and you will be successful.
There may be moments when you think
the next win be your last, but it won't;
and the victory once won. your tri-
umph will be enduring. The whole
process is the best example Of conquer
ing through yielding that the physical
world has so far slDwn." This is
worth trying at any rate. All accounts
agree that eating heartily at sea, if you
can do so, is one way of alleviating the
horrors of the NAL de mer.-Demorest's

Peculiar Condition of the Planetary Bodies
"A Tremendous Storm Foretold.
f. Stone Virgins, of Canada, is
making some very interesting predic-
tons regarding the temperature, etc.,
next year. The following appears in
the Detroit Free Press:
In a recent issue Of your journal you
say I have predicted that next winter
will be unusually mild. This is news
to me. With the great planets, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, all so
near their perihilion, a mild winter for
1886 is an absolute impossibility. In
fact the extremely cold weather now
prevailing in the Southern Hemisphere
teaches a lesson of an opposite signifi-
cation. Unusual proximity OF the
n%eighboring planets to our earth in
yariably means cold. When u moon
is in perigee, and especially at the time
Of her conjunction, the temperature
falls and this is increased when our
second satellite has a similar relative
position. The old theory that the
nearer a planet is to the sun the hotter
it is is absurd! The opposite is the
fact-the colder it is! All planets
must increase in size and attractive
power, either by meteors falling to
their surface or by the increase in the
number of their satellites, which
must mean that they are gradually
receding from the sun. Our earth
is much further from the solar orb now
than she was ats the glacial age, or
when our visible satellite first appeared
in the Silurian eras, and Saturn is much
more distant than when he carried but
a single moon in his then smaller race
course around the sun. Then as the
four great planets just mentioned are
so near to us their attraction forces
our satellites nearer our primary, thus
increasing the attraction on our earth's
surface, and as a result densifying our
atmosphere. 1t was for this reason |
predicted in the New York Insurance.
Times that the winters and summers OF
1884 and 1885 would be remarkable for
their GOODNESS, for the depth of snow in
winter and the rainfall in summer, and
how exactly this prediction has been
fulfilled! AS the same conditions will,
to certain degree, exist, tits impossible

GERMANY
Why She Takes the First Place at the Head
of the Nations.

Why She Takes the First Place at the Head
of the Nations.
Germany keeps herplace at the head
of other nations because of the super
ior intelligence of her people. The
proportion of illiterate people is less in
that country than in any other on earth.
All the young men impressed into her
armies grade higher in intelligence and
education than in the most favored
nations. OF a hundred and fifty thou
sand recruits tested, only one and one
half per cent. could not read OF write.
In some provinces, such as Wurtem-
burg, not an uneducated person could
be found. We Americans have Wanted
our superior education, but some
| seventeen per cent of our population
are illiterate. In the years 1883 and
1884, thirty thousand, four hundred
and nine books and maps were pub
lished in Germany, against only seven
thousand, five hundred and sixty-nine
in the United States. This shows the
superior literary activity OF the Ger
! mans; and what is still more mortffy-
ing to our national pride is, that most
of the works published in the United
States are stories and romances, while
a larger portion of the new German
literature is scientific and philos-
phical. It is no wonder, therefore,
that Germany is not only the arbiter of
Europe, but that it is making its in
! iuence felt in every part of the globe.
| The English merchant has heretofore
| taken the leading position in trade cir
cles in all quarters Of the earth, but he
is rapidly giving place to his more in
telligent and thoroughly trained Ger.
man rival. The expansion OF the Ger.
man power in the way OF colonies and
commerce is because of the greater
mental activity developed by the edu-
cation of the German people. The
German military system would be very
unpopular should an attempt be made
to naturalize it in the United States,
but the training it involved has worked
wonders for the German character.
The drill and discipline has been an
education itself. 1t has taught the
Teuton how to command as well as to
obey; physically, mentally, and NOR
ally the German race has been wonder
fully improved, not only by its
thorough education in letters, but be-

virtues due to the discipline of the bar
