"Some time before the death of Seth
Green, the celebrated fish culturist
and naturalist, said a Philadelphian
who takes great interest in piscicultu-
raj matters, II paid a visit with him
to the fish hatchery of that state at
Caledonia. In one of the ponds there
at that time were 5000 large brook
trout, every one of which had been
captured with the hy-tied on barbles
hooks-in unfrequented brooks in til
Adirondack regions. These trout, Nj
Green said, had convinced him that
fish have reasoning power and mem
DRY. When they were hooked, and
reeled in slowly by the careful fisher
men who were capturing them for the
state pond, they had time and oppor-
tunity to note the form and character
of the tackle that made them prison
ers. According to Mr.. Green they
never forgot that experience.
1.-THE trout had been in the pond a
long time, the females never being al
lowed TO spawn there, and would fol-
low Mr.. Green as he walked along the
edge of the water tossing bits of liver
into it. To show that his theory about
their memory was correct, he would
carry n cane and fish rod concealed
behind his back. If he took the cane
from its concealment and held it out
over the water, the fish paid no atten-
ton to ii, but the moment he produced
the rod with its reel and line attached,
away the trout scampered like a flash
TO distant parts of the pond. Mr..
Green told me that he would permit
any n to cast a fly in that pond to
their hearts content, as he was salts
fed that not one of the trout would
come e it, SO wildly did they re-
member their enemy of five years
ago.n-Philadelphia Press.

The civil list of the United Kingdom
amounts to e3s5, 900; the revenue of tho
duchy Of Lancaster amounts approxi-
mately to SEQ, 900, making a total of
G445 900. To this sum may be added the
income of the Prince of Wales-annuity
$40, 900 and e6o, 900 from the ducny of
Cornwall-and annuities to tho other
members Of the royal family making n
grand total of e6S5 900. In Austria the
civil list is e7s0,o 600, and the emperor has
n private fortune which probably brings
him as much. In Germany the emperor
as king of Prussia has a civil list Of
$780, 900, and besides has large domains,
the revenues Of which enable him to
provide for all the princes and ~princesses
of his house. The crown prince is en-
titled to ESQ, 900 per annum from the
country. In Italy the civil list of tho
king is over e6O0, 900. The revenue of
the car is probably as great as those Of
the other sovereigns combined.-London

Glove. of Human Skin.

Gloves which are sold as kid are often
made of human skin" said DR.. Mark l..
Nardyz, the Greek physician, yesterday.
The skin OF the breast" continued the
physician. lis soft and pliable, and may
be used in the making of gloves. When
people buy gloves they never stop to ques-
tion about the material of which they are
made. The s~hopkeeper himself may be
in ignorance, and the purchaser has no
mea of ascertaining whether the ma
terial is human skin or not. The fact is,
the tanning of human skin is extensively
carried on in France and Switzerland.
The product is manufactured into gloves,
and these are imported into this country.
Thus, you see, a person may be wearing
part'of n distant relatives body and not
know it,"
Then the doctor drew from n drawer n
brand c pair of black gloves. "'There,"
he said, sis a fine article made from the
skin of n child. As the hide Of n kid
compares with that Of n goat, so, of
course, does the skin of a child compare
with that of al adult, and 1t is much
sought in France for glove purposes

A correspondent much troubled with
''black heads" asks for q lotion. They
should DO pressed out either with the
thumb nails or n watch key. The opera
ton is likely to AUS some congestion of
the skin, hence the face should be bathed
with water as hot rs can DO borne. AS
n rule, those who have "black heads"
are sparing of the use of soap, which
ought to be used quite freely by them.
Ladies who object to it might use, in
stead, borax water, or water to which
bran Is added. Twice daily the follow
ing lotion may be applied: Ether, one
ounce; carbonate of ammonia, one
drachm; boracic acid, one scruple; water
sufficient to make two ounces. This
should be applied after the ''black heads"
have been pressed out and the face has
been bathed in hot water. Boston Her

Speaking of snobbishness, the Listener
is glad to have occasion to note n case of
old fashioned manly absence of that
unpleasant reality. Spending a Sunday
recently with a friend in a very delight
full summer resort not far away, where
a good many pleasant cottages have been
built on a cliff commanding a fine view
of the summer sea, the Listener happen
ed to be sitting on the veranda with his
friend as n milkman's wagon drew up in
he street. The milkman, a sturdy young
fellow, of pleasant face, d~ismounted,
rang n bell by way of warning to the
maids of the vicinity to get their pitchers
ready, and then started around with his
cans and his pint measure. AS he passed
around to the back door of the cottage,
the Listeners friend saluted him as one
gentleman salutes another. And when
the milkman had gone the other said:
"That young man is a member of the
class of go at Harvard college"

Eyes. He is carrying himself through
entirely by his own exertions, and he
cakes this way of helping himself out. 1
dare say he makes enoughmoney selling
milk at II good figure to the people here
in the summer time to pay the greater
part of his expenses for the remainder
of the year at Cambridge"
"Does he.water his milk?'
mot perceptibly. 1t is worry good milk,
and l have no doubt he is Is honest as
the business allows"
There was n young man in the house
who belongs to the class below the milk
mans in college, and he testified to the
excellent standing of the young man at
Harvard.
Such an incident is one of a good many
which go to prove that Harvard men are
by nc means all idle swells. Perhaps
there is not nearly SO large a proportion
of students at Harvard who earn money
in the summer time by table waiting at
the mountain and seaside resorts as at
Dartmouth or Amherst, but there are
certainly a good many men there who
earn every cent of their college expenses.

It has been remarked of the Eiffel
tower as q specimen of engineering il
is simply a variation from the ordi.
nary method of iron bridge building.
The American engineers who visited
France, England and Scotland a few
weeks ago, greatly admired the Eiffel,
but regarded the bridge in course OF
construction eros the Firth of Forth
as far more remarkable. They do not
consider it a remarkable thing to erect
an iron tower 800 meters in height. II
reposes perpendicularly upon firm
foundations, and the weight of the
material is easily sustained.
1t is n far moro phenomenal per-
Torrance to build out on the can't
lever plan a structure extending, un-
supported by false work, for a thou
sand feet over an arm of the sea. That
was the wonder our engineers witness
ed in Scotland, and it was immensely
more impressive than the simple iron
edifice, notable chiefly for its perfec-
ton of details and colossal proper
the French exposition.
We have mentioned that there was
a proposition before the committee OF
managers of the Philadelphia centen-
NAL for the erection of an iron tower
1000 feet high, and that it was reject.
ed because the estimated cost, 81, 600,
600, was held to be extravagant. II
would be worth while to look through
the old papers of the Fourth of July
centennial, and see how closely the
work proposed and rejected for the
banks of the Schuylkill has been fol.

portions of the state. The leading
churches have been opened for lectures
and frequent Sunday discourses,
largely attended. A series of addresses
to colored people on GLOW to make an

to by great and attentive crowds. In
deed, the only drawback has been our
absolute physical inability, though
never in so firm health, of meeting half

no northern, like dozen southern
states, has been turned upside down
by revolution that Frustrated its
system of labor, impoverished its lead
ing class, and cast on the public some
times majority of penniless, ignorant
and unframed people, suddenly en-

no people in history have made, on
the whole, so good record for the
orderly and peaceable upbuilding Of
society as the southern states, and the
wonder is that so little of this
sort of outbreak has happened.
The turbulence of the south is chiefly
due, first, to the inevitable results of
an epoch of revolution and reconstruc-
ton; second, very largely to illiteracy
and bad whisky, and great deal more
than the southern people, realize to
their liberation of youthful vagrancy
in both races. Their towns and
cities sw arm with lazy and vicious

the old-time Texas politician was not
quite a new-time, common-school

public of Texas for the children, had
been so handled that, even to-day, the

who ought not to have them. Only

Under the Lone Star.

BY Rev. A. d. Mayo.
In the pleasant month of April,
1881. we made our advent in Texas, at
Galveston. 1t was fit time for the
great first impression which the Lone
Star state expects to make on every
stranger Never is the vast empire OF
the southwestern United States in so
roval attire as during the months OF
April and May, before the long, fierce
heats of the summer have parched and
cracked the plains, and the restless
winds blown their dust in cloud Of
500 miles wide. Indeed, what we cold
blooded Yankees call Summer" often
begins in March and holds on until
Thanksgiving, in this Favored" land.
That year, a cold, wet winter had laid
the foundations for gorgeous out
break of spring. All the month we
rode over endless prairies, blooming
like gardens of paradise, roamed
through cities smothered in flowers,
and looked up into skies that Italy
might envy for tenderness, depth and
variety of hue. 1t was our first intro
duction to southwestern spring,
and we came home the sort of lunatic
that every impossible northern visitor
returns from his first experience OF
nature "on her high horse" in these
realms of fairyland.
Our month was crowded full of great
interest. We looked in upon all the
leading cities and journeyed over sew
eral thousand miles of the about
doors of this great gulf state, noting
her promise rather than performance
on the lines of education, and the
group of influences and institutions
That always cluster about good sys-
lam of common schools. The achieve
ment was not yet great. There was
Enthusiastic proclamation by the
politicians and land agents of the vast
