A Home in a Canoe.

| have been leading a strange but far
from disagreeable life. / have been
exploring and surveying large dis
trict between Old Calabar and the Cam
eron. 70 do the water part of the
journey hired at Old Calabar a large
native canoe with house in it, an ar
rangement family resembling the house

At one end of it is large box of
sand. On this my cooking fire is made
A fire, in fact, is kept burning day
and night, so that with few min
utes' notice | can have cup of tea or
cocoa.
In the house, which has two small
windows and two sliding doors and
tn atched roof, there is Just room for
my bed, dressing bag, table, chair, and
canteen. The canteen is wicker-work
boy, with knives, forks, plates, etc.
There are also shelves and hooks in
the house, by which lot of things are
slowed away in surprisingly small
space.
Outside the house. in the forward
part of the canoe, is clear space with
level floor and small seats around,
sheltered by an extension of the thatch-
ed roof. Here, in daytime, put my
table and sit, either eating my meals
or making my survey, as the canoe
glides along, propelled by eighteen
paddlers. This is really most pleasant,

Education in Citizenship.

Hitherto our higher institutions of
learning have neglected almost wholly
to instruct the young men in the prin-
ciples of the government and in the
duties which are to devolve upon them
rs citizens. They are taught a great
deal about the property of matter, but
very little about the passions of men;
much about the perturbations of the
planets, but very little about the in
teractions of parties; much about the
constitution of the solar system, but
very little about the constitution of the
United States; much about the laws of
the universe, but very little about the
laws of the land; much about universal
gravitation, but very little about uni
versal suffrage; much about the Grecian
democracies and the Roman republic,
but next to nothing at all about the re-
public to which they themselves be-
long. Indeed so far is the teaching of
our colleges at present from being
suited to prepare young men for the
proper discharge of what under our
constitution is really the most import
ant duty before them in life, that it al
most seems to have been purposely
planned to evade that object.-Ihe late

Crocodile Bait.

If mothers in general shared the
nerve exhibited by mothers in Ceylon.
trouble would be spared in many a
household, says the Ceylon Catholic
Messenger. Babies wanted for croco-
die bait. VIII be returned alive" If
newspapers abounded in Ceylon as
much as crocodiles do. advertisements
like the foregoing would be common
in their want columns.
As it is, the English crocodile hunter
has to secure his baby by personal So
licitation. He is often successful, for
Ceylon parents, as a rule, have I'M
bounded confidence in the hunters. and
will rent their babies out to be used as
crocodile bait for a small considera-
ton. Ceylon crocodiles suffer greatly
from ennui; they prefer to lie quite
still, soothed by the suns glittering
rays. and while away their lazy lives in
meditation.
But when a dark-brown infant with
curious toes sits on bank and blinks
at them they throw off their cloak of
laZiness and make their preparations
for delicate morsei of Ceylonese hui
mainly. When the crocodile gets about
halfway up the bank the hunter, con-
cealed behind some reeds, opens fire.
and the hungry crocodile has his APP
petite and life taken away at the same
time. the baby being brought home
safely to its loving mamma.
The sportsman secures the skin and
head of the crocodile and the rest OF
the carcass the natives make use of.

British Bank TellefS.

The edge of the English bank counter
is provided with Il lip to prevent the
coin from rolling over and to aid the
teller in scooping up the money. The
teller usually counts with the first two
fingers of both hands, simultaneously
Sometimes he uses six fingers, and a
teller has been known to count $50
in one minute working against time.
An expert teller will count f10O value
of silver in seven minutes. When it is
remembered that the coins are always
mixed and consist of siNpences, shil-
lingS, tiorinS, half-crowns and crowns,
with never decimal convenience
among them, this will reasonably be
considered as remarkable feat. The
annual loss from wear and tear of gold
coin in England by reason of the alb
sence OF small notes is almost incredi-
bic.
In Scotland the issue of FL sterling
notes displaces gold to a great extent
The Scotch teller eXcels in counting
paper money. In lingering a bundle of
notes he is the king of men. Plac-
ing the packets upright against
his left palm, and. Selling the top
corner between the finger and thumb
OF his right hand, he will turn the notes
so quickly that an ordinary observer
will be rs entirely deceived as by the
three-card trick, and will probably
count only sixteen or seventeen to the
teller's twenty. Then to check his ac-
count he will entirely alternate his
hands, or. placing the notes horizon
tally On the counter, he will count
toward himself with the same para
lying speed. The Scotch counter is
twice as wide as is the London one: it
is elevated in the center and is minus
the rim, which facilitates the English
teller's deNterity with the coin. The
Scotch teller in Edinburgh is rallied in.
His domain is Il little island by itself;
he takes no responsibility, he carries
no balances in his head. and will not
look at a check until the ledger clerk.
Tar of IN the corner, has courtersigned
it.-B0St0R Commercial Bulletin.

Looking Forward.

In !Scribner Joseph Wetzler CON
cludcs an article on The Electric
Railway of Today as follows: With
the advantages of the electric railway
so clearly pointed out and SO unque<-
tiOnably demonstrated in actual prac-
tice. it would not be unsafe to hazard
the opinion that in ten years ut the
farthest there will not be single
horse-railway in operation, at least in
our own country. The horse will then
be once more returned to his legiti-
mate field of labor and the street-car
passenger will be transported 1T an
increased speed and with all the COM
forts of easy riding in ears propelled
and lighted by electricity, while it is by
no means improbable that with fur
Their work on the line indicated the
passenger may step aboard a train in
New York at 10 in the morning and
eat o'clock dinner in Chicago on
the same day. Enough has indeed
been accomplished to show that cleo
tricity is destined to be one of the most
powerful factors entering into our So
cial conditions. and that the ease of
distribution and convenience of power
afforded by it must bring forth changes
in the social order which are even now
hardly realized.

Speaking a Piece.

Master Will had just come to the
time when he must give his first decla-
nation at school, and all the house
hold was made to share in his excite
ment. He had the greatest difficulty
IN choosing his piece, and in learning
it after it was chosen. His father, who
looks pretty carefully after his sons
education, thought it would be good
plan to have the piece rehearsed at
home, and SO asked the lad TO say it to
him the other afternoon.
Il can say it real easy. papa" Will
contided to him but my hands kind

''Oh, the most of them hang on to

all the time, and then they get in my

His father laughed and told him that
If he would only let his hands alone
they would probably take care of them
selves. Then he asked Will to 60 on
with his piece. The boy began in SO
absurd manner, jumbling his words
together and putting his small voice
down his throat rs far rs possible,
that the father thought he was inten-
iionally being funny
But, my dear boy" he said, as soon
as he was convinced that the young

sAcREDNess OF MARRIAGE.
Mrs. Stanton's Views the RESPONSE
bilfty of Parenthood.

Writing in the Arena on the subject
of divorce Versus Domestic War
fare Elizabeth Cady Stanton says:
The first step toward making the ideal
the real is to educate our sons and
daughters into the most exalted ideas
of the sacredness of married life and
the responsibilities of parenthood. |
would have them give at least as much
thought to the creation of an immortal
being as the artist gives to his land
scape or statue. Watch him in his
hours of solitude, communing with
great nature for days and weeks in all
her changing moods, and when at
last his dream of beauty is realized and
takes clearly defined form behold
how patiently he works through long
months and years on sky and lake, on
tree and flower; and. when complete,
it represents to him more love and life,
more hope and ambition, than the liv-
ing child at his side, to whose concep-
ton and aptoilatal development not
one soulful thought was ever given.
To this impressible period of human
life few parents give any thought; yet
here we must begin to cultivate the
virtues that can alone redeem the
world.
How oblivious even our greatest
philosophers seem to the well-known
laws of physiology. Think of man
like Darwin, so close an observer of
every form of life, so firm Il believer in
the laws of heredity. vcnturing on
marriage and fatherhood while he was
the victim of au incurable hereditary
disease. That he thought of this while
raising q large family is plain from his
published letters. in which lie deplores
his condition and groans lest his physi-
cal Affections he visited on his children.
Alas, who can measure the miscries of
the race resulting from the impure
and unholy marriages into which even
Intelligent men and women so reck-
less enter!
The fetichof our time is the legislative
enactment. 1t is considered that men
should be more moral, more temperate.
Immediately a party arises in the state,
clamoling for law to legalize its the
cries.
But unfortunately progress can not
be obtained by an act of parliament.
Development is Il plant of slow growth,
and the only soil in which it will
flourish is that of broad human Gull
ture. Harmonious progress is not to
be secured for the individual or society
by hasty methods. You can make men
hypocrites by prohibitory laws; you
can not make them moral.
