without trial, to crafty his brutal appe-

st. Nicholas In England was deemed
the patron saint of children in general,
but more particularly of all schoolboys,
among whom his festival used to be a
very great holiday. Various reasons
have been assigned for his having been
CHOSEN as the patron OF children, either
because the legend makes him to have
been bishop while yet boy; or from
his having restored three young scholars
to life who had been cruelty murdered /;
or, again, on account of his early absti-
nence when boy.
The Mandan Indians have a peculiar
way of roasting meat; the roast is sus-
pended from the roof of the hut exactly
over the fire, the cord being passed
through and fastened to the center of the
piece keeps it in fiat position directly
over the flames. A person is seated near
it, and with small stick keeps it con-
tinually in motion by pushing it to and
fro. When one side is done, it is turned
over, and fit for use. This method is
much more expeditions than the common
way of roasting before the fire, and is
preferable, as it retains the natural juice
and flavor.

The Worlds Depot.

Nearly seven million men, women and
children have looked back in memory to
Castle Garden as the spot whereon their
feet first rested on the free shores of
America. Out of these millions many
have passed the barrier which separates
all from the future. To the general pub
lie nothing more is known OF Castle Gar
den than that it is place where foreign.
ers are landed. The extent of the daily
business done there, and the manner OF
doing it, are to them as sealed book.
There are still living many who remem-
Der Castle Garden as the place where,
previous to 1866, delightful concerts,
grand balls and brilliant receptions were
held.
Up to the year 1885 emigrants were
landed at the various docks along the
city front, where they became an easy
prey to the wiles of the boarding house
keepers and their satellites, the river
thieves, runners and the thousand and
one attaches of nefarious trade.
In 1866 the legislature of the State
passed a law leasing Castle Garden from
the city, which had owned it since 1922,
and designated it as a depot for the
landing of emigrant passengers.
Statistics show that from 1s47 to
1884 inclusive period of thirty y-eight
years, there has been landed 1881, 65S
emigrant passengers at the port of New
York. This shows an average of 207,
412 per year. The largest numbe,
landed in any one year was in 1882
when 476, 6sl passed through the gar
den. The lowest number received was
in 1877 when only 63, S55 were landed
In the rotunda of the garden there are
offices where railroad tickets for any
place in the United States can be OBJ
tanned at regular rates. The different
telegraph lines ave also branches there.
There is also an hospital connected with
the garden, which is in charge of an cx-
perienced physician.
A day spent in inspecting the work
ings of this really beneficial institution
will give food for interesting study.
Long familiarity with the wants and
needs of the new arrivals has made the
attaches efficient in the discharge of
their duties, and crowd of two thous-
sand, or even as high as seven thousand
people arc disposed of in one day.-New

The Oldest Dynasty in the World.

The present reigning dynasty of Japan
is the oldest in the world. 1t dates back
2,546 years, and its records are accur-
ately preserved for that time. During
this period the reigning houses of China
have several times been changed, and all
the nations now called civilized, without
exception, have had their beginning.
1t is sometimes marvellous to reflect that
any house could preserve its integrity
and occupy the throne for such period
of time. This fact of persistency of
family holds true of others than the
reigning family, though to less extent.
The Oldest son is necessarily his fathers
successor, and heirlooms are handed
down from father to son with the great
est veneration and reverence. Swords,
spears, beautiful garments and helmets,
bronze, laquer and carved wooden-wa
are held sacred in a family for ages.
One young man, the oldest son OF we'll
to-do father, told me that he had twenty
swords, some of the finest workmanship,
and, in answer to my invituble Yankee
question, he said: ".t is worth about
800 yen. - Ohicago Times.

Mr. Manning was born in Albany, N. Y,
August IL, 1881 His parentage was Of Irish,
English and Dutch extraction He was q
poor boy, and his early opportunities for
schooling were very limited At eleven years
of age he went to work as an office boy at
the establishment of the Albany Atlas which
was afterward merged into the Albany Ar
gus, with which paper he has ever since, in
one capacity or another, been connected In
1878 he assumed sole charge of the Argus,
and was elected president of the company,
which position he yet holds, though he has
done little or no writing for some time. He
was a member of the Democratic State con-
vention Of 1874 that nominated Samuel j.
Tilden for governor and was delegate to the
St Louis convention OF 1876 that nominated
Mr.. Tilden for President. He has been
member Of the Democratic State committee
since 1876, was its secretary in 1879 and 1880,
and was elected chairman in 1881, which place
he now fills. He was warmly interested in
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland for Presi-
dent at Chicago last July. Mr.. Manning has
long been a director of the Albany and Sus-
quehanna Railroad company and is president
of the National Commercial bank of Albany,
OF which he was first director and then vice
president. He is also park commissioner of
Albany and is a director of the Albany Elec-
trio Light company.

Chinese Bird.Fishery.

The cormOrant does all the work of
fishing for his master, who only has to
take care of the boat. The birds stand
upon the edge of the shallop till the
boatman gives the signal, when they
spring into the water to perform their
task. AS soon as they have captured
large fish or filled their throat with
smaller ones, they return to the boat and
their master takes possession of the prey.
If they find fish to large for one bird
to take care of it alone, two or three of
them will join to assist in bringing it in.
The cormorants are trained for their
business with great care. The most in
telligent birds are said to come from the
province of Che Kiang. The eggs of
the first spring laying, which usually
takes place in February, are collected
and put under hens, the maternal love
of the cormorant being only feebly de-
veloped. The young when first Matched,
being extremely weak aud delicate, and
prone to succumb at the slightest chill,
are put into wadded baskets, where they
can be kept at uniform temperature.
They are fed with pellets of beans and
finely chopped eel, till at the end of
month. when, having become nearly COW
cred with feathers, they are given the
eel alone; at the end of another
month, they are able to eat
small fish whole and are worth
five dollars pair. When they have got
their growth, which is about five months
after they are Matched, they are tethered
by string tied around the foot on the
banks of stream or II pond. The
trainer, stirring the water with pole, and
whistling an air which the birds learn is
the signal for 'take to the water" throws
in some small fish, which they attack
with all the more voracity as they have
not been too we'll fed. The trainer then
whistles another air, which is to be the
signal for coming back, and, that the
birds may not be mistaken as to its mean
ing, he pulls at the same time upon the
cord that holds them. These lessons are
continued for two OF three months, when
the scene of the practice is changed to
the boats; and at the end of another
month the cord is dispensed with. There
are, of course, differences in the capacity
of cormorants as well as of men. While
the stupid ones are sent to the pot, the
most sagacious and best trained male
birds are worth seven.o .or eight dollars
apiece, females less. The period of
service of the cormorsnts is short. They
begin TO lose their feathers and to go
into decrepitude in their fourth year,
and generally die before they are six
years DID, Popular Science Monthly.

Mr.. Bayard was born at Wilmington, Del,
October 90, 1929. He was chiefly educated at
Flushing school, and his early training was
for mercantile life. After having bad some
experience in business in New York he re-
turned to Delaware an studied law with his
