Difference In Etiquette.

An American would never think
Of removing his hat prior to speak
ing to any nan on the street.
In Holland, before speaking to
the most humble individual out
of doors a man uncovers. In Hol-
land, too, men and women rarely pur-
chase at the same stores, but in cases
where they do, if a woman discovers
that men are assembled inside she re-
treats until they leave. Alive Amer
lean storekeeper would probably soon
change this feature Of Dutch eti-
quette. The Americans. English, Ger.
mans and Russians shake hands with
a man in bidding him welcome An
Arabs greeting is to rub his cheek
against that OF the person he salutes
and kiss him. \ Erenchman well
comes a friend oy embracing and kiss
ing him, though by slow degrees this
custom IS being superseded. -Philadel-

The Material for Towels.

Shall our towels be huck-a-back or
damaskl That, too, is a matter Of
taste, but il is also a matter Of COM
plexion. The skin needs vigorous rub
bing with a somewhat rough surface
to keep the pores open, and whatever
false notions some girls and older per-
SONS may have, cleanliness and open
pores are the first requisites Of a good
complexion. Huck-a-back seems best
for general use. then; but a few dam.
ask towels are a nice possession

An Inventors Folly.

\ few months ago an inventor Of a
certain apparatus of n very simple
character, which could have been
duplicated in many different forms,
was offered $4,000 for the right to a
certain inland town. He was a poor
man and needed the money badly.
The reader supposes, of course, that
the inventor jumped at the chanceand
pockeied the money on the spot. Not
he; he told the buyer that the patent
was worth 500, 900. and he was not 90.
ing to sell n town in New York
state for $4,000. The same inventor
was offered a similar sum for another
large town in the state, or SO, 900 for
only two cities in the country, but he
refused TO take it. We have these
facts from the inventor himself. and
they are correct. Before it was too
late to negotiate we berated the man
soundiy e. 40 ,olly, but he was deaf
to all argument. The sequel was that
the inventor never sold a single right,
and has his patent to this day.-Engi-

Electric Light Destroys Worms.

Attention was recently directed TO a
proposal to destroy insects by Turing
them against a charged cage, within
which is an intense electric lamp, the
shock from the bars killing them. A
well known industrial organ, in COM
menting editorially on this idea, makes
the statement that at Durham, n. c.,
since the city has had electric illumi-
nation, the ravages Of the tobacco
worm have been greatly reduced. II
suggests that a powerful electric light
in the center Of one Of the sea islands
growing the famous long staple cotton
might save all the plantations sur

frequently wrought by the cotton army

A Titled

An English paper asserts that there
is a titled lady whose chief pleasure is
found in exhibiting her muscular
powers in her own drawing room to a
circle of admiring and astonished
friends. Attired in a long and cling
ing gown, she lies down at full length
upon the floor, with arms held closely
to her sides. A friend is then request.
ed to fasten her skirts securely around
her feet and place her handkerchief
upon them. This done, the handker.
chief is conveyed by her feet to her
mouth. She then resumes her first
position, and, without moving her
arms, gradually raises herself until
she stands upon her feet, without a
hair out Of place or the tiniest bead of
moisture on her brow.-New York

WHY DON'T THEY STAY At HoMei


Ii Hung Chang, the viceroy Of Chi
ma, is reported as having made the as
sertion that within the next half cen
tury China would be covered with a
network of railways; that it would
have rolling mills and furnaces, with
immense mineral resources and an
limited cheap labor to back them, and
that China may do the manufacturing
Of the world.
While China is proverbially slow in
adoptingth the methods of the outside bar
barians, u striking change has been TAX
ing place there lately and today China
has AN excellent fleet of ironclads OF
the most modern type, is arming aud
disciplining its soldiers after European
models, has telegraph lines and at
least n railway in successful opera
ton, and is pushing forward in a phe-
~nomenally rapid way, for conservative
China, toward the acquisition Of the
majority of the arts aud manufactures
that but lately marked the difference
between it and other more civilized
nations.
The industrial momentum of a ma.
ton of 400, OOO, 900 inhabitants, cover.
ing one,tenth of the inhabitable globe,
ifonce fairly started, is well worth con-
sideration. Baron Richthofen, in de.
scribing the northwest of China, says
that the Shansi district is one of the
most remarkable coal and iron regions
in the world, and he estimates that at
the present rate of consumption the
coal of this district would supply the
world for thousands Of years to come.
1t is claimed by some writers that
Shansi. when more thoroughly ex-
plored, will bear away thr palm from
Pennsylvania, whose 20,G Coz square
miles of coal land have been hereto
fore considered the greatest single de-
post ia the world. Richthofen says
further that this coal can be very
easily and cheaply extracted on a
large scale, and that iron orc of an ex-
cellent quality is fouud ia quantities in
the immediate vicinity of the Goa!
fields.
De this as il may. mineral wealth is
abundant, aud when it comes to a
question Of labor the Chinese can fur.
nish this to an almost limitless degree.
and recruit il from a class that is nat
urally patient, skillful and content
with small gains. We do not agree
with the viccroy in his prophecy that
all he hopes for may he accomplished
in fifty years. China is too deeply
settled in its rut for that, and other
nations, with the many advantages
they already possess, will be NOV
ing, too, at an always accclerating
rate; but the Chinese may Some time
be very active competitors in the
manufacturing world. Engineering

TWO FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.
Two Stories About an Electrical Bolt by
an Old Frontlersman.

Two Stories About an Electrical Bolt BY
an Old Frontlersman.
IF you want to talk about light.
ming I'll tell you where it did some
good" said a frontiersman. 1T was
down in Missouri. | wasn't there at
the time, but | know its true, for |
know the girl that vas the heroine. !
wanted to marry her myself, but the
old folks wouldn't have il. because
there were eight in the family and !
couldn't support them all. Well, the
girl had TO do the work for the eight
of them, and if | was sorry that she
had to do it, SO was the lightning.
One day she was fixing up supper for
the outfit and there was a johnnycake
ready for distribution. A storm came
on, the thunder rolled, the rain fell,
the lightning fooled round rs usual,
until one flash or bolt, with more sense
than the others, came down the Chin
ney, hit the cake, cut it up in eight
pieces and then went down through a
crack in the floor. Il must have gone
through a crack, for it had nc other
way to so without hitting something
and nothing was hit.
II can also give you ali a pointer on
lightning, and tell you when it saved
one mans life, though it had to kill
two Others to do it. It's a long way
back, and, if my memory serves me, ]
guess the year '6s will call the turn.
Four of us were heading for what
they call Deadwood now, and were
travelling in an old time prairie
schooner We were up somewhere
near the sandhills, where the Platte
river starts out on its own account.
We were just going into camp, and !
struck off To take a bath, when | heard
the internal Sioux war whoop. ]
ducked, aud looked back. Two of the
boys were killed and scalped. and the
third was evidently reserved for some
worse fate. Some half Il dozen Of them
started to 60 through the wagon, and
two were evidently told Off TO guard
him.
II watched them march him away,
one in trout doing some kind of a war
dance, and the other following close
behind with ariile that seemed pointed
close to his back. There was a storm
coming on, but was too busy to no.
tice it until a flash of lightning shot
out from The clouds, struck the Indian
that carried the gun, killed him, dis.
charged the gun, which killed the jay
hat was dancing in front and let my
chum get a chance for his life. He
took the chance. and inabout a second
and "a quarter lac was up to his nose in
the drink where | was hiding. The
storm wasa heavy one, and as it passed
away 80 did the Indians I'm talking
about. This story is dead right, for !
