ZINC Young Mem OF Enc south.

The idea prevails largely in our current
literature that the young men Of the "new
south" are full of force and energy, eager t.
grapple the difficulties of their situation, and
quite prepared to wiring success from unwilling
fortune. The picture is not wholly one Of
fancy. There are such young men among us
and they are illustrating what may be done
in the new order Of things amid which they
are thrown. But they are not very numerous
are, in fact, painfully exceptional. Tn,
great bulk Of our young men are Of the oppc
site type. They so about business, if they e
at it at all, in half-heartod way, es if they
regarded failure as foregone conclusion. A
great many do not engage in any steady voca
ton, but accept any little job by which they
can earn few dollars.
Perhaps there never were so many men who
cannot be said to be pursuing any regular
calling. An ambition to get behind counter
or to secure q travelling agency for some bust
ness house, is that which generally takes pos
session of the minds of our young men. There
is a turning away from agriculture as if il
were not calling which promises to patience
energy and industry the very best rewards
We must own it, that the bold, ambition,
young man, who is willing to foreSo prcsen
ease and display, and who win not be content
with any expedient that may meet the present
emergency, is an exception among us. Ther'
is as good chance to lay the foundations of {
fortune now as there ever was, if young mel
will only exercise the proper industry anC
economy. Sunny South.

Fatigue weskens the Memory.

Fatigue of every form is weakening to
the memory. Impressions received
when we are tired are not permanently
fixed in the mind, and their reproduc-
ton is often impossible. Fatigue is the
result Of an excessive activity of any
faculty, continued until its stored-up
nutriment is exhausted. After a period
of rest, and a return to normal condi-
tions, the memory also returns. A very
interesting illustration of the result Of
fatigue upon memory has been given by
Sir Henry Holland. he says: Il de-
scended on the same day two very deep
mines in the Hartz mountains, remain
ing some hours under ground in each.
While in the second mine, exhausted by
fatigue and inanition, felt the utter
impossibility of talking longer with the
German inspector who accompanied me.
Every German word and phrase deserted
my recollection; and 1t was not until I
had taken food and wine and been at
rest for some time that my memory re-
turned"
A fact like this, and many others
which might be mentioned, goes to show
that there is a close relation between
memory and nutrition.-How to
Strengthen the Memory.

THE supreme court of the United
States h as rendsred its decision IN the
extradition case of Frederick M. Kerr,
the Chicago embezzler recently kid
mapped in Peru by the officer sent to
demand his extradition. The court
does not see that the constitution, or
Ia ws, or treaties of the United States
guarantee him any protection from
such seizure, but the court holds,
however, that this decision does not
leave either the prisoner or the gov
ernment Of Peru without remedy for
his enforced seizure within its terri.
tory. The existing treaty with that
country provides for the extradition OF
p ersons charged with kidnapping and
on a demand from Peru. the party
guilty of 1t could be surrendered and
tried in its courts for violation of its
laws. A decision was rendered in an
other important extradition case, viz:
the United States against William
Rausch. Rausch was an officer of an
American vessel who was extradited
from Great Britain in answer for the
murder of q seaman, and who was
afterward brought to trial for q differ
ent offenss, viz: cruel and unusual
punishment of seamen. This case
brings up an important question
which has long been the subject of
diplomatic negotiations between the
United States and Great Britain, viz:
whether under the extradition treaty
in force between the two countries a
person extradited for one offense can
be tried for another. The court rules
that he cannot be 30 tried.

A FAMOUS DIARY VILLAGE.
Cheese and Butter Industry Of Northsrn
Holland-A Glimpse Of Brock.

Cheese and Butter Industry Of Northsrn
Hollsnd-A Glimpss Of Brock.
One boatload of excursionists, such a.
is seen every Sunday on the bay of San
Francisco, would drive all Holland from
Helder to Rotterdam and from The Ha-
que to Zutphen, to the verge Of distrac-
ton. The voyagers are of the tranquil
sort. II there is any hilsrity it is for
eign element. They do not generally
exceed twenty or thirty, chiefly inhab-
itants of the villages that border the ca
nal, or farmers from the houses that ap-
pear here and there on the face of the
country like islands, and as some Of
these are surrounded by dyke, and q
ditch with drawbridge, islands there
are indeed capable of being defended
like medieval castle, against all COM
ers. There is probably on the boat man
interested in dairy produce, who tells
you in melancholy tone that cheese
has fallen. This is sad, for if there is
one thing more than another that the
causal traveller is interested in, it is the
price of cheese.
Cheese and butter are closely related
to the prosperity of the North Holland
canal, because several villages along it
are engaged in that industry. One Of
these is Brock, which lies about midway
between Amsterdam and Monnikendam,
and has for untold ages been famous for
its dairies and its neatness. Formerly
everybody went to Brock, for fear that
il he did not when he got home all his
friends would ask him in chorus, Have
you been TO Brock" and he would re-
luctantly be compelled to answer, NO"
Brock lies along its main dyke and scat
tered over considerable space behind it.
1t has the usual allowance of small
canals, several neat shaded streets, and
a church or two, for it has some 1,600
inhabitants who live by butter and
cheese alone.
We did not land at Brock, but as we
glided along almost under the shade of
its trees we made an acquaintance with
it that was sufficiently intimate. 1t
turned for our benefit its back doors to
the canal, and about them were hang
ing dairy utensils shining in the adul-
terated sunlight. 1t also left its stable
doors open, that travellers might gaze
therein and remark, though the spotted
cows were grazing in the meadows, the
porcelain stalls in which they pass the
winter and the appliance for attaching
their troublesome tails to the spotless
ceiling. Travellers have recovered from
their commonplace infatuation regard
ing Brock, and are now contented to
study Dutch cleanliness in a generic
way in towns less noted for that virtue,
and simply as an incident of passage.
The fact is, personal neatness is less ex-
ceptional in Europe than it was fifty
years ago.-Amsterdam Cor. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Oysters That Grow on Trees.

The boat soon reached the mangroves,
and, pushing in as far as possible, we
found ourselves surrounded by the life
of the tropics, As the tide was out, we
could reach up from the boat and gather
over our heads the oysters which were
growing in great clusters on the roots
and branches Of the trees. The clear
water was filled with fishes of strange
forms and brilliant colors, and they were
perfectly fearless, SO that they could be
examined without difficulty, as they
chased and captured their food among
the submerged roots. The bottom was
thickly covered with beautiful sea
anemones, and everywhere, on the bot
tom, on the roots and branches of the
trees, and on the rocks at the waters
edge, we found wealth of mollusks
and crustacea, which soon taught US to
regard the mangrove-thickets as rich
collecting grounds. w. X. Brooks

They wished to reintroduce into the
schools the system of flogging which

was very small, and the most prominent
