Fresh Water Mariners.

The number of sailors who ship from
Chicago annually is estimated at not less
than 10000. This includes captains.
mates, tiremen, engineers, cooks, deck
hands, and seamen. It is curious to
know that more than three-fourths of
these sailors are Scandinavians. A
Swedish lake captain, whose weather.
beaten face gave evidence that his life
had been spent on the deck OF vessel,
explained why it was that there were SO
many OF his countrymen leading sea.

"We are nation of Sailors" said he.
because in Norway and Sweden there
is not much else to do. There is but lit
tie agriculture in our country and the
whole male population becomes sailors
or fishermen. Boys go to sea at the
age of twelve years and are sailors all
their lives l myself shipped as cook
at twelve years OF age and for forty years
have been riding on the water. Another
reason why so many sailors in America
are Scandinavians is because young men
ship before the mast in order to reach
the United States, when they do not
have money to pay their way. On the
voyage they get a good idea of the work
and then take it up as trade. I think
it is generally conceded that Scandina-
vians make better sailors than any other
nationality, because they are less ad-
dlcted to drink and are more peaceable
on shipboard. In the Norwegian mer-
chant marine boy gets 81 month, and
when he is strong enough to go before
the mast as an ordinary seaman his pay

Frank II. Ingram and r. Ogden Dore-
mus, the committee appointed for the
purpose, have reported to the Medico-
Legal Society, of New York, upon the
proper method OF executing criminals
by electricity. The method recon.
mended is to bind the criminal in n
strong chair having attached to its back
a sort OF helmet to hold the head secure
~. Inc immersion of the body in a
large quantity OF water to act as one
pole, runs the report, or the placing of
large metal plates upon any part of the
body should be put entirely out of CON
slderation. Metal directly in contact
with the skin during the passage of nm
electric current burns and is liable ia
produce larcerations. The electrodes
should be of metal, not over one inch in
diameter, somewhat ovoidal in shane
and covered with thick layer OF sponge
or chamois skin. One electrodes should
be so inserted into the back of the chair
that it will impinge upon the " ne be-
tween the shoulders, and other
should be so joined to the he'll as to
press firmly upon the top of 4 h head.
The poles and the skin and ha at the
points of contact should be Oh roughly
wet with warm water. The ha.s should
be cut short. A dynamo generaaiDg an
electro motive force of at leant 5000 colts
should be employed. Either conainu-
GUS or an alternating current may be
used, but preferably the latter. The
current should be allowed to pass for
thirty seconds. The rheophornes can
be led off to the dynamos through the
floor or to another room, aud the in
strument for closing the circuit can be
attached to the wall.

She handed me the letter and glided
out of the room. l took it over to the
shaded lamp and read the following:
Dear Annie When beside your
fathers dying bed we entered into an
engagement of marriage; felt as he did
that the interests of the firm of which he
and were partners would be best sus-
tanned by our union. l wrote to you

that you have seensome one who pleases
you better than your humble servant

the desire of gratifying an ungenerous
impulse. Annie has since assured me

Can Animals Count ?

Houzeau de la Hale, tells of pelican
living in fisherman's family at Santo
Domingo that was fed upon the refuse
OF the tish-cleaning. Looking for its
food, 1t went to the shore every day and
waited for the boats to come back. The
fishermen rested on Sunday, and the
bird acquired so clear anotion of the re-
turn Of that day, when it had to fast
that 1t would not stir from the tree on
which it was accustomed to spend its
time. 1t is not necessary to suppose
that the pelican had learned to count
the six days at the end OF which its mas
tiers would not go fishing; but, while it
really estimated daily the time when it
must make its excursion to the shore. it
was informed of the return of Sunday
by observation OF what was going on in
the house, as. for instance, by the fish
ermen putting on their Sunday clothes;
in the same way as the dog knew when
its master was going to hunt by seeing
him with his gun and game bag. In such
instances, animals show that they have
the faculty of associating ideas, of OBJ
serving consecutive facts, and establish
ing correlative connection between
them-things which have been proved
by abundance of other evidence, and
which demonstrate not less intelligence

A Code Of Barber,s Ethics.

One of the most interesting things
which the German papers have been writ
ing about lately is the establishment of
u code of BARRIERS ethics. 1t appears
that some time ago call was issued for
Congress of BARRIERS 10 assemble at
Berlin. Four hundred Of them responded
and there was an interesting meeting
which lasted three days. When they
adjourned they had formulated code Of
trade ethics, which is we'll worth the
attention of their American brethren.
Here are some of the new regulations:
In future the operation of shaving must
invariably be begun on the left cheek,
and the old style over there of applying
the lather to the face with the hand
must be stopped and brushes used for
that purpose. No barber will be per-
mitted to remain member of the asso-
citation who persists in holding customer
by the nose while shaving him. To
their everlasting credit be it recorded
that majority of the Congress decided
that in SO far as talking to customers
was concerned great reform was neces-
rary, therefore they decreed that the |
BARRIERS should confine themselves to the
careful shaving or hair cutting OF their
patrons and not allow their tongues TO
ramble during the operation over the
liomsjn of politics, commerce and
philosophy, literature and the arts. Still

rush back to work, followed, at the con-
clusion of the day, by heavy meal when

pressure of the business. A more ra-
tlonal refreshment after heavy brain-work
is to partake of light reffeshment and

thus the power of digestion and social
enjoyment are restored to the man. Prob
ably the chief means of preparing a man

by careful training, both physical and
mental, before he enters upon the strug-

FALLING LEAVES.

Some in the sunshine. some in the shade,
Some In the bright and glowing noon,
Some meath the cold and quiet moon,

So every Geld and path receives
These fading, falling. dying leaves.

Some in the bright, unclouded light,
