Will nay youngest American readers
my very youngest-please give me Their
attention?
All, here you are! Well, my little
ones, as you very 500 are to begin to
learn your letters, if, indeed, you are not
already learning them, it, may interest
you to know that the babies of other
countries, IS well as baby Americans,
are expected to know their alphabets at
a very early age; and some of them, be-
cause there are more letters in their
alphabets, have even a harder Iims than
you do. Some again have less to learn.
For instance, as sprightly and learned
correspondent informs this pupil, the
Sandwich Island alphabet has only IL
letters; the Burmese, 10; the Italian, 90;
the Bengalese, 81; the Hebrew, Syriac,
Chaldee, Samaritan and Latin, 90 each:
the French, %; the Greek, "a; the Ger.
man and Dutch, 90 each; the Spanish
and Slayonic, 81 each. But, on the other
hand, the Arabic has IS; the Persian and
Coptic, 49,; the Georgian, So; the Arme-
nian, 38; the Russian, ii; the Museoyite,
40; the Sanskrit and Japanese, so; the
Ethiopic and Tartaric, 203.
If this information bewilders YOU, nv
poor listle letter learners, don't mind it.
1t will keep. One Of these DAYS you will
be big and able to play tag, and, later on,
baseball in these languages. Then, a few
letters, more or less, in any one of them,
will be a matter of small consequences to
You. Even now, / dare say, after what
| have told you, you'd be able to play
with the letter blocks of any country. In
truth, if | were you, / think / should pre-
fer a box of Ethiopic Oh Tartaric letter
blocks to begin Whilst. Nicholas.

sunday In Paris.

Every year Partisan tradespeople are
becoming less disposed to Sunday shop
keeping, and there are even fewer arti-
sans to be seen at work than was formerly
the case, says a correspondent. The in
habitants of the proverbially lively city
have not, of course, adopted the strict
Sabbatarianism of their British neigh
bors, and 1t is even doubtful If many of
them p~atronize the metropolitan churches
on Sunday mornings. Their great OBJ
ject seems to be to extract as much ra-
tional amusement as possible out of the
enc. day in the week when they are not
tied down to their eternal desks, ledgers
and counters. Dissipation there may be
in some cases, and there is much un-
cody reyelry carried on during Sunday
evenings in second class cafes, low dane
ing saloons and absinthe reeking resorts
of the "Assommoir" type; but the re-
spectacle portion of the community takes
its holiday in a decent fashion, and en-
! joys itself in a ann at which only the
sourest disciple of Calvin or the most
melancholy minded follower of Me
lancthon could cavii. Serious, steady
and respectable Parisians walk leisurely
in the Champs Elysees on Sundays, when
the weather permits, OF attend morning
performances in the theatres or the after
noon concerts. Then they go home to
dinner and have a family reunion, or
wind up by a quiet game of cards or
draughts in a favorite cafe.-Boston

In the Ripper's Domain
AN ENGLISH COMMUNITY SCARED
By TERRIBLE CRIMES.
MURDER AND M%UTILATIoN
Discovery OF tho Dead and Horribly Mu.
tiiated Bodies of Young Boys. sug-
costing the Work of the
whitcchapeI Ficnd.

LONDON, Dec. ga horrible discov-
cry of a young boys dead and mutilated
body was made at Bradford, and the
town is wild with excitement, fearing
that Jack the Ripper y or an apt imi-
tatorfof him, has made his appearance
here. The body was found in an out
house, and Was that of u boy named
John Gill, aged 8. The boy WAS last
seen alive sliding on the Ice with a num-
Der of companions. His legs and arms
were roughly chopped of and tied to the
body, his ears cut off, and two stab
wounds found in his breast. The heart
aud e~ntrails were torn ont, and lay
OF the ground near the body, which We
wrapped in a rough covering and thrown
into an clubhouse. The police hold to
the theory that the crime was committed
by a gang of drunken lads, whose minds
were infiamed by reading the accounts of
the W~hitechnpel murders. No arrests
have yet bees made, though detectives
have been sent down from London.
Scarcely had the people began to re-
cover from the shock of the first crime,
when they we're Mortified by the report
of another boy murder. The body OF the
second boy wal horribly mntilated, and
was found ut Kiiwich, near Keigtley.
There Is no clew to the murderer in
either case. The police are searching
the country round, and are assisted by
volunteer parties. All railways are
watched.
A late dispatch from Bradford says:
A milkman has been arrested on sus-
picion OF having been implicated In the
crime. The murdered boy occasionally
accompanied him on his rounds. The
prisoner was first to recognize the re-
mains. 1t IL certain the body was
placed In the clubhouse between the
hours Of A End Z o'clock a. m.

jump the claim. Moore and McCabe
Were caught in the tunnel by a band of
! fighters hired by the other claimants,
and cut their way out with their bowie
knives. Several men were killed in the
| fight, and as most of the dead had only
knife wounds, it is supposed that Moore
and his lawyer did some game and lively
work.
A little gambler named Barney Kenny

eighteen years ago. He was playing
poker with three other sports in a
saloon in Portland, Ore. Somebody was
caught cheating. and Barney grabbed
the pot. Instantly the three confeder-
ates pulled their pistols and blazed away
at Barney, who drew his knife and
waded in desperately. After a brief but
furious combat, in which fifteen shots

room, leaving the others on the floor.
One was dead, q second MORALLY

that he had to be in a hospital for

and gold quartz, and the colonel paid
$500 for the two weapons. Gamble gave
n to his friend Charles Norris, who
lost it some years later. 1t was a mere
fancy of CANDLES to have such a
weapon, as he was never known to use
it. Joe Winters, in 1864, walked into
Prices place with two friends, saw three
S75 knives in the case, bought them, and
turning around, presented one to each of
his companions just as he would hand
about cigars.
One of the men who bought an extrav-
agantly expensive knife from Price came
into the shop some tine after a fight had
occurred in anime and several men had
been carved to death, and exchanged the
weapon for some other wares. AS he
put the gold mounted bowie down he
said with a shivcr that he would never
use a knife again. When the weapon
was examined the blade was found rusted
with blood, and there was blood even in
the creeices between the slabs of the
handle and the frame. There were no
guards on the hits of these knives, be-
u the men who bought them carried
them for sudden use, and a guard is
likely to catch in the clothing and delay
the draw.
The first big knives made by Price
were for a party of United States sur
yeyors, who wanted them as substitutes
for axes in cutting trails through the
brush. The blades were twelve inches
long and very heavy, and in the hands

in the coolest weeks of the short table

windows are closed to keep out the chill,

The most disagreeable thing about
household life In New England during
the winter is the overheating of rooms.
The temptation is to make them over
hot. People even get to enjoy a dry heat
OF 80 dogs. But the danger comes when
you go out of doors into the keen and
eager air. In Mexican houses there is
little difference at any time between the
air in doors and that of out of doors. In
summer the house is cooler than the
street into which the clear and dazzling
tropical sun is pouring its rays, but there
Is no such contrast of indoor and out
door temperature as one finds in the
north in the winter months.
Here we have to be careful on leaving
a lamp lighted room in the evening and
going out of doors not to catch cold in
the eyes, for 1t is a popularity of the
tropics that the eyes are especially sensi-
tive to sudden changes from light to
darkness. knew of II lawyer who one

characteristic of the Cuban climate.
Most Mexicans IN winter evenings, when
emerging from the theatre or a house,
put a handkerchief to their nostrils SO as
to take in the cooler air slowly, and
many men light a cigar or cigarette to
warm the air passing into the lungs.
One learns to respect these customs after

COSTLY AND DEADLY KNIVES.

Blades Maac for Business In the EARLY
Days Of California.
In 1868 NJ. Price, who then had a small
cutlery shop, sat up nights and made q
fine bowie knife, which he exhibited in
the first Mechanics fair held in San
Francisco. After the fair Ward Eaton
took the knife to the Bank Exchange
and ratified it for $3.50. Price had taken
great care in tempering the blade, and
a offered to forfeit $100si if any better
steel could be found. AT that time Billy
Allison, of Yolo, was making knives,
which were sought by all men who
wanted reliable weapons.
Surveyor General Higley had an ALI
son knife, and he backed it against
Prices Blade. The test was made in the
Bank Exchange, and aroused as much
interest as a national election. Gen.
Higley laid a half dollar on the counter
and drove the Allison blade through il
without turning the point or edge.
Ward Eaton welded the Price blade
with a steady, strong arm, and. achieved
the same feat. Gen. Higley then tried
two half dollars, and the point of his
knife turned. Eaton piled up three of
the coins, drove the Price knife through
them, and when lie raised the weapon
q three half dollars were impaled on
the point, which was not turned.
That made Prices bowie knives MS
famous on this coast as Toledo blades
were in Spain, and every man who west
heeled had to9have one. Marion Moore.
a noted mining and sporting man, whose
nltro-glycerine blew up Wells, Fargo &
Co.'S express office on the corner of Cali.
Iornia and Montgomery streets, ordered
OF Price the best knife he could make.
Moore gave Price a gold brick and a
piece OF gold quartz that he had taken
out of a mine with his own hands, anil
told him to work the metalin. Price made
an eight inch bowie, having gold handle
inlaid with quarts. Moore paid S175 for
thu weapon, and handed back to Price
she gold that was left over.
Moore's lawyer, McCabe, got a gold
mounted knife for 500, and these two
expensive weapons played a leading part
IN q bloody tragedy in White Pine, New.
