English Ignorance Of America

Ex-senator and ex-Cabinet Minister
William Window has an idea that the
Importance of the American nation is
not fully recognized by the middle and
lower classes in foreign lands, says the
Minneapolis Tribune. He is led to
this from an experience he had last
summer when he landed in Eng
land. He sailed from this coun-
try on the third day of the Chicago
convention. and during the eight
days passage he was in such suspense
to know what was the result of tho
convention as man of his interest in
public affairs can apprecite. Archi-
bald Forbes, the English newspaper
correspondent, was on the same boat,
and the two did some tall guessing e
during the time they were out of sight
of land. When they were once on
British soil, Mr.. Window said:
You are newspaper man Mr..
Forbes; take your augur and 60 find
out who was nominated"
The first man asked was q boatman
at the docks. He had nearly forgot
ten the convention. but getting tho
two national conventions mixed in his
mind he said:
"They elected the same man they
did before"
A little questioning revealed the
fact that the man knew no difference
between a nomination and an cleo
ton, SO Mr.. Window did not know
whether he referred to the st. Louis
convention or meant that the Chicago
convention had nominated Blaine.
Another man was hunted up and asked
if he knew who had been nominated
for president of the United States
The man asked what states he meant
by the Omitted States"
''The United States of America"
said Mr.. Forbes. DO you know where
America is?'
81 have heard of Canada" was the
reply. lis America the same as Can
ada?"
They left him, and Mr.. Window got
his first information on the result of
the convention from scrap of a Ger
man newspaper, n week old, which he
found at a hotel, aud which the only
words he could read were two that are
the same in German as in English

LUCKY JEST

The French author Martainville,
who began his career toward the close
Of the last century, is said to have owed
the preservation of his life to witty
piece of audacity. He was q Royalist,
and did not hesitate to attack the French
revolution and its authorities. Presently
of course he was summond to appear te
fore the revolutionary tribunal, with the
terrible Fouquier at its head.
The revolutionary tribunals at that
time did not hesitate to send everybody
to the guillotine who had ventured to at.
tack them. Martainville expected to &c
with the rest of the victims.
"What is your name2" asked the re-
volutionary judge.
'Martainville, said the young auth
or.
"Martainville!" exclaimed the Judge.
"You are deceiving US and trying to
hide your rank. You are an aristocrat,
and your name is De- --Martainville.
''Citizen President" exclaimed the
young man, 81 am here to be shortened,
not to be heightened! Leave me my
nameW
A true Frenchman loves q witticism
about all things, and the tribunal was SO
much pleased by Martainville's grim re-
sponse that it spared his life.-Youth' s
Companion.

WHY THE BEAR GOT MAD.

Said Mr.. Southmayd: "When q man
goes out after them he wants to be sure
that his ammunition is all right. Three
weeks ago L was out cunning for birds
and happened to run across big black
bear. He was about ten yards away,
standing on log and looking at me in
the most impertinent manner.
II always carry couple of buckshot
cartridges in my left coat pocket for just
such occasions. Breaking open my gun
extracted the cartridges of small shot
kept my eye on the bear and inserted
two shells from my left packet.
Then I confidently 5lazed away al
his head. He didn't tumble over as he
ought to have done but snarled wickedly
aud made break for me. Without re.
treating step let him have the other
barrel, and that didn't stop him worth q
cent.
"About that time / began to suspect
that there was some hitch in my combi
nation and when he knocked the gun out
of my hands inferred that it was time
for me to get away. You oDght to have
seen me go. / guess he would have won

wide enough for me to get through, and

he stuck fast in the cleft long enough for
me to get hundred yards the start, and
then was safe.

they saw a man extended; 1t was Michel
Pierron. He had been there three
days and four nights.
Loud cries arose on all sides, and,
ringing loud above the others a cry
escaped from the lips of child. She
threw herself upon the body and clasp
ed it in her arms, half mad, weeping
and crying:
Papa! papa!'
He was nearly dead, poor Michel!
Exhausted by lack of air and nourish-
ment he recovered consciousness only
to sink back fainting; but he was alive.
Miss Papa had told the truth. The
man would not die without telling his
child, and the thought of her had sus-
tanned him and given him strength to
conquer death.
A week later he was out and ready
to recommence his work.
On the evening of the day before
that on which he was to return to the
mine grand banquet was given by all
the miners to Miss Papa. The place Of
honor was reserved for her. A loud
hurrah and wild applause greeted her
when she entered, holding on to
Michel's hand. There were kisses
given, shouts of 'Bravo" and wild
huzzas In honor of the little queen.
And do you know what she replied
to all this. smiling and clapping her
little hands?
She replied: Papa"
1t would be difficult to describe how
and in what tone she uttered that
one word. But all the brave fellows
whose eyes had never known a tear,
will tell you that they wept that night.

The Widow and the Tramp.

The Albany journal states that q
tramp called at the house of Il Bethle-
hem widow, living alone, about Z
o'clock in the morning, and offered to
saw wood in return for breakfast.
The woman eyed him suspiciously.
"Are We hungry?' she asked. Yess-
mum-hungrier nor 4 bear" "Well.
We can have yer feed first, guess. :"
He was given { bountiful meal. At
its conclusion the tramp rose and took
up his ugly-lookiug bludgeon. 'I'll
keep nv eyes wide open tight he
said, grinning, ''and if see man as
wants ter saw yer wood fer his break
fast I'll give him yer address" Then
he opened the door and slouched out.
He had gone but few steps when he
heard the widows sharp voice calling
q halt He turned and with an oath
saw a gun pointing squarely at him.
The widow ordered him to come right
back. He came back and sawed not
one but two cords of wood, killed and
plucked two chickens. whitewashed
the hen house aud cleaned out the
cow stable. He will not repeat the
visit in a hurry.

A RISE OF LIFE.
From the Baltimore Teleora

From The Baltimore Telegram.
Twenty five years ago the now Prin-
cess of Wales and the future queen of
England was living on the third floor of
a corner house in Copenhagen and her
father who no one ever dreamed then of
being a king was poorer than many n
burgher in the same street. She and
her two sisters, now the Czarina of Rus
s;a and the Dntches of Cumberland, oc
cupied the same room scantily furnished
aud instead of a wardrobe curtain
drawn across the wall hid the pegs on
which their few dresses hung. They
had never worn silk dress in their lives
now A!exandrina doubtless has all the
dresses che wants, but it is more than
likely that she looks with pleasure upon
those years as the happiest of her life.

VELOCITY OF LIGHT. THE Danish as
tronomer, CLAUS Romer made the discov
cry of the velocity of light while taking
observation of the eclipse of Jupiter g
satellites in 1874. He found that the
eclipse of the satellites seemednt be re
tardeI as the earlh moved farther away
from the planet; that 'hey occurred too
soon when the earth was nearest and too
late when it was farthest away from
Jupiter. The astronomer found that this
retardation of the occurrence of the eclip
ses could only be accounted for satisfact-
oriy By the time that the light would
take lie crossing the earth's orbit and that
calculating the time occupied in accom-
plishing this, the velocity of light was
1872, 500 miles second. Tho best deter
minations made by the more accurate OBJ
servations of modem times make the vel
oclty about l86, 900 miles a second.

WHY FIRE BURNS BRIGHTLY.-There
are several reasons why fire burns SO
brightly i'll frosty weather. First the
air being colder is denser and heated Air
and gases from the fire are comparatively
more buoyant. Consequently there is a
greater draught. Then the air being
denser, contains more oxygen in an
equal volume and that gas being quick
~ supplied the combustion is fiercer aud
more perfect. In frosty weather too,
the atmosphere is comparatively free
from moisture which of course has ten
dency to damp fire.

"When Our Ship Comes In"

A little child dwelt by the flowing sea,
And her home was the home Of poverty:
She ran with bare feet DER the golden sands,
And gathered shells with her small brown
hands.
Gay strangers came in rich robes dight.
But the little maiden summed their sight,
And shaking her curls DER her blushing face,
SEED away like fawn that flies the chase.
When the strangers were gone said the moth
er mild,
what was it dismayed thee. my darling

She held up the skirt of her faded frock,
Sadly rent by the rugged rock.
And she said, with q deep and long-drawn
sigh,
"Win have such dresses as they by-and-byf"
Her mother smiled with grave, sweet grace,
AS she smoothed the curls from the half
grieyed face;
And said, when our ship comes in from the
sea
You shall lave garments and all things free.''
when our ship comes in!' said the little
one,
And away to the highest rock she ran,
And watched till mig hts shadows dimmed the
shore.
For the freighted ship and its treasured store.
Long and often she watched in vain,
No ship for her sailed over the main.
