Germans Ahead of the English.

Is England losing her grip? There was a time when that nation had way of gobbling up all the trade of barbarous peoples. English commerce and English shopkcepers penetrated to tho uttermost corners of the globe, and fattened on the possessions of the unsoDhisticated barbar- ians on whom they descended. But within a few years other nations have been reaching out for a share of the spells. Even such uncommercial coun- tries as France and Italy have been at tackled by the colonial fever, and Ger many in particular has entered the field as a serious rival And the Germans gc into tho contest N;Uh all the fcrvor of new converts. and with even more than Eng fish phlegm and stubborrncs3.

Death of Sir John Moore.

In 1740, and again in 1895, the bay was thc scene of q naval victory of the English over tllc French. But the name Corunna marks an cngagemont-One of the most celebrated in British military annal5-in which one fell whose name suggests the ideal soldier. There on that low, gray line, which marks the water batteries, not more than gun shot dis tant, the brave Sir John Moore met his death. The action ill which Moore fa,l was the firal one in { at d;sa5trCus peninsula camDaign. Retreating toward the sea, he EaI been holy pursued by Soult. but by 5uperhum2a efforts he had preserved the remnant of his army. At tempting to embark at Corunna, Moore was attacked with great force by the van of Soult'G column, which had rapidly closed on him. But against British steel in the hands of men rendered desperate by their position it was impossible for the exhausted plEsucTs to make any headway, much loss drive Moore into the sea. French voldgeGr8 and light in fantrv were hurled back over those hills, and the sturdy Soult could but content himself by bringing his artillery into ac- tion. and from this fire the city was well nigh destroyed.
 In ono of the last movements of the cnlbarkat:on. when the success of the op- cration v7as evident. Moore was struck by the fragment of a shell while standing near the water edge. and expired almost immediately. His death to every soldier cannot but he Gn enviable one. His Eody was hastily inferred on the ranparts; but ol the e; tire of the three days later Soult had the remains inferred in the citadel, with honors of war. A monu- nlent, erected in the Jardin de San Carlos by Inc British government, commence rates his bravery and intrepidity. The Spaniard5 reverence the name as if it were ono of their own generals, and keep the walks and shrubbccv in excellent CSI- dition. Tho scenery from the Jardin, looking up the bay, has a peculiar rugged ness, which reminds one of spots in OJ.T own Sierras in California.-Corunna Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

Boats in Ceylon.

Tho natives of Ceylon have queer boats. They are quite long, and 50 rarrow, says a correspondent, that I could not keep in one Of them without putting ono leg in front of the other. Tho whole affair stands well up out of the water and is kept from capsizing by long balance log about six feet out from the boat and secured to it by two lightly curved sparS. All that l caw had small square rags for sails, which could only be set with a free wind. When the wind gets strong one or more of the crew arc sent out to squat on the balance log, the number found necessary for this purpose denoting the strength of the wind-thus they speak of a one man gale, a two man gale and so on. They are said to be excellent sea boats and to make good speed. but no ore accuses them of being comfortable. For eign Letter.

Cases of Self Consciousness.

Said a lady who was neither beautiful nor ugly. and could nct, therefore. have been a subject of public remark: 'I dis Eko open ho-oo c2r5; one i3 SO congpicu- ou3 il t2cm!''
 ''I5 never occurs to mo that people in this busy city havo time to notice me, replied another.
 Thc latter theory is the most satisfac- tory; it not only saves one from the an- noyanco of feeling that she is an object of disagreeablc attention, but it has tl;e advantage of being much nearer the truth. A cat may look at king, but in this busy world pussy IS usually too much engaged ill her daily vocation of mouse watching to waste her gaze, even on royalty.
 A pretty woman, riding one day in an omnibus whispered to her companion: That person stares at me so consistently that must change my seat.
 Tho gentleman in question was gazing past her with distracted eyes, and prob ably engaged in innocent mental debate upon some business problem,
 Some people arc always receiving pub lie affronts, but it is only because they live in a state of expectancy. A little girl came home from school one night, complaining that the "big boys" had chased her.

A Splendid Fata 5Iorgana.

In Vidovcc, @ Hungarian village near Warasdin, the belief of an approaching war has seized hold of the entire popula tion. A splendid fata morgana was ob served during three successive days on the wide plains around the village. Enor- plous divisions of infantry with scarlet caps could be distinctly seen moving in the plains and performing exercises tc the words of command of a colossal chief, whose sword was seen flashing in the air. Tho phenomenon lasted several hours, and finally the soldiers disappeared in mid2ir. Tho people stood awestruck in great crowds, and observed every move mclt of tho phantom soldiers with breath less attention. Two gendarmes after ward went in tho direction of the scene of action to sec if any traces could be found, but Of course in vain. The pbe- noncnon is believed to have been re- hcction of come infantry divisions man. covering at some miles distance.-Boston TranscriDt.

Talking about ingenuity" said drummer to a reporter, q want to tell you what I saw last winter out west. was on Q train that was showed in for three days. The company sent us foods but they didn't send any cigars, and the train boy'G stock was exhausted the first day. In tho express car VIC found and confiscatcd Q box of smoking tobacco. but there wasn't pipe on the train. Among tho passengers was Q Connecticut Yan- kec who was just dying for a smoke. He got out in the snow and looked around for weed or something of that sort, which hc might use in making pipe,
 but couldn't find thing. lin going to have a pipe, anyhow, he Laid. So he took a Iced pencil, opened tho wood, took out tho lead, and, placing the two strips together again, wound them tightly with the tin foil which came out out of tho packages of smoking tobacco, making them air tight. Then he took an apple, hoIlowcI bowl out of it, and had ono of the incest pipes you ever Caw. If you don't believe it, make cne for yourself some time and try it. Chicago Herald.

OrI~jD of Natural Gas.

Dr. H. A. Mott, the chemist, has been making a study of natural gas. When asked what he thought was the origin of the gas, and whether he thought it was really volatized petroleum. as has been claimed. he rcplied: No. It seems to me that it cannot be; to so produce 1t would require a far greater heat than eX- ists at the depth where it is found. My theory is that the gas was thrown off during the first stage of decomposition of the hcrbaceous and Egneus plants, and has sinco remained undiscovered in the caverns of the earth. I say the first stage because I consider that in this case there were three stages of decomposition, the first resulting in gas, the second in petroleum and the third in coal.-New York Commercial Advertiser
