How a ScOtchman Took Joke.

was uotlong since sitting between a
Scotch and an English physician, when
the former remarked, Il never could
for the life of me understand why my
countrymen have this character" and
he himself thereupon related several
anecdotes which showed, at any rate,
his own keen perception of wit. Where
upon the English doctor said: What
you say may be true, but it is curious |
myself should know case which sup
ports the general charge against the
Scot. One day a very witty observa-
ton was made at the breakfast table
of a Scotch gentleman. but he failed to
see its point, and was as grave as a Judge.
He conducted family worship, and
what was the CONSERVATION of the fam
ilY and the visitors when Mr.. - burst
ont into uncomfortable laughter, he
having just come to Il sense of the wit
of the observation which had been
made at breakfast"
Well, if this accords with the notion
that a Scotchman does rot see wit
readily, or is not given to wit himself,
it also shows that when time is substi-
tuted for the brain operation which
Sydney Smith regarded as necessary in
the case of Scotchman, he catches
the idea at last, and then enjoys it as
heartily as the quickest-witted English
man. Person said of would-be poet
of his day, named Biackmore, He will
be read when Homer and Milton are
forgotten-but not till then" This is
an excellent example of the sarcasm
which Is also wit Unttersdl RecieU.

Mr.. Dockery Was There.

We were about to leave Louisville on
a down-river steamer, and the men
were just hosting in the gang-plank,
when tall, slim young man with a
great deal of cunning in his compost
ton, leaned on the rail of the promen-
AIDE deck, scanned the crowd of 200 on
The leyee, and called out in thin
voice:
Say! is Mr.. Dockery there?"
He ISL promptly replied voice.
Then tell him I'm coming back in
about week to sandpaper his head!n
1t was intended for joke, but no
one laughed. Just at that minute the
gang-plank was dropped for a be-
lated passenger, and a man from the
crowd rushed along it to the boat,
lodged upstairs like a monkey, and
next minute appeared before the as
tonished smart Aleck.
':5andpaper, my head, will you?" he
Kissed, as he reached out for hair
"Oh, now, but you aren't Mr.. Dock
ery!7 shouted the young man.
Aren't l? Don't | know my own
name, you luscious persimmon? Take
that-and that-and that!''
And he banged him right and left,
lifted him up and down, aud ended by
spreading him over the deck as far as
he would reach. Then he skipped off
to be received with cheers, while the
young man gathered up the fragments
and splinters and retired. He was on
the boat three days with US and dur
inc that time l never saw him but
once! Then he had his head out of his
state-room window to view the scenery
on the Arkansas shore. One of the
boys yelled: "Dockery" and the head
vanished, to be seen no more.-N. Y.

How Far Can You Hear?

Some experiments in judging dis
tance by sound were carried out re-
Gently by one of the London brigades
of the Metropolitan volunteers. This
branch of military tactics is quite a
new departure in volunteering, and
one which. if it is to be made of serv-
ice, will require more than an ordinary
amount of practice. 1t was first ex-
planned to the men that sound travels
at the rate of L, 100 yards in three Sec
onds, and on this basis they were to es-
innate the distance at which some
rifles were being discharged in the
darkness. The answers at first were
wide of the mark, some of the men be-
ing as much as $50 yards out in their
calculations. With little practice,
however, great Improvement was
shown, many of the men guessing the
distance exactly. | am told, however,
that the experiments are not as salts
factory as was hoped and it is thought
some time must elapse before Judging
distance by sound can be relied upon
with any certainty.-Lifa

Vanderbl1t's Southern Palace.

The palace to be erected by w. X.
Vanderbilt near Asheville, n. c., on
the splendid estate he has recently pur-
chased there will be 800 feet long, and
the superstructure will be of Indiana
limestone, which is of beautiful fawn
color The foundations will be made
of the stone taken out of Mr.. Wander
bits own quarries. Also the material
for the walls of the esplanade or pla-
teau, on which the house will be built,
will be obtained from the same quar-
ries. These walls will be forty feet
high in some places and the esplanade
will extend some five OF six hundred
feet in either direction, presenting tn.
point of the diamond-shaped plateau to
the French Broad. The palace, which
is to be built on this plateau, will not
be begun until next Spring. Then ex-
cavations are to be begun and the
foundations laid. Two towers have al
ready been erected on the site of the
house. These are just the height of
the first story of the building, and by
means of these can be seen what the
view will be from the house itself, and
the grading can be done accordingly.
All the forests which have been cut
down will be restored. The trees
which will be planted will be ever
greens of various kinds. mostly white
pines. The idea is to afford pleasant
winter view. 1t is intended ultimately
to have nursery, from which can be
supplied the trees needed on the estate.
The laying of the foundation for three
stables for cattle has been commenced.
They will be arranged according to
the latest sanitary ideas, and the water
will be led to them by pipes. The cat
tie will be stall fed. Altogether, Mr..
Vanderbilt's palace and its surround
ings promise to surpass anything ever
seen in the South

THE attempt Of such de2agogues as
Col. Krel TO array the Germans of this
state IN opposition to the public schools
and in hostility to compulsory school
law will hardly provo successful. The
man who courts power by striving to
create national AMI n0sit,es in state
such as Wisconsin whose population is
multin2tion3l IS unworthy to be citizen
of this country. That the Germans OF
this county could be induced to act as
opponents of the pablo school system
at the bidding of Col. Krez is past belief
The first compulsory education law
passed IN this state was due TO the per-
sistent efforts OF the Germans. There is
not a German Immigrant who Is unable
to read and write the language of his
country. That education Is so general
in Germany Is due to the compulsory
school laws OF tina; country and it IS be-
cause they perceived the benefit Of such

intent upon securing similar legislation
IN their adopted land. Over ono-half OF
the population OF Manitowoc county is
German but Its public schools L "a well
challenge comparison with those of any
county ia the state. There is not town
in this county in which Col. k9ez would
dare TO say aught against the public
schools. There Is nothing which the
people prize more highly. There is moth
ing which they should guard more ieal
ously. Col. Krez is credited with aspir-
ing to the gubernatoriaI chair. Let lin
try it if he d@res on the issue he has
raised. Nen, before him, have sought TO
ride on the waves OF temporary preju-
dice: but never before has man placs d
SO low an estimate on the common sense
OF the people as to hope to be rewarded
for joining in crusade against popular
education and public schools.

Tom Thumbs Widow.

Tom Thumbs widow, who will not
consent to exhibit herself at museums
now, passed through the city a few
days ago, says the Boston Journal
Seated in an easy chair. to reach the
seat of which the need of a cricket was
absolutely necessary, the diminutive
lady extended the hand of welcome,
and with smile shook her head as her
visitor gave greeting to Mrs Charles
Stratton." No longer Mrs Stratton,"
she said. Il am now the Countess Magri,
and this is my husband, the count. :"
The gentleman thus introduced was a
handsome little fellow, whose wears
and whose inches are almost the same,
for the crown of his head reaches only
the level of an upright yard-stick. and
his ace is about 80. Mrs. Stratton-
Magri, if the double appellation may be
used, is AZ years old now. and she
stands head-that is to say, lilli-
putian head shorter than her hus-
band.
I'VE were married only four years
ago" she said, land | notice that many
people still find it hard to separate my
name from the generals. He, poor
man, passed away six years ago.

HindoOstani English.

Lady Dufferin's studies in Hin.

or the reverse, but some of the illustra-
lions she cites of native English" are
at least amusing. Our resident at
Bhurtpore was addressed by native
as "honored enormityr' A native de.
scribes the horse as "a very noble

do So" Poverty and progress is

THE Chronicle says it will be happy
day when we will all be Americans, and
there will be no talk of Anglo Americans,
Irlsh-Americans or German-Americans.
But that day will never come while the
professional politician lives, moves and
has a being. He will always seek power
by fiattering natlonalities. People will
be appealed to as foreigners and not as
citizens of the United States. In the cleo
ton of 1888 the Irish were asked to vote
for protection because England favored
free trade. There was not a bill board in
a city in the United States which did not
have a large cut Of Bismarck with a
speech of his favoring protection. The
politicians will nurse national prejudices
for selfish reasons.

is limited to Furnishing parents who fail
to send their children to any school, SO
that Mr.. Koerner's concern is wholly
without cause.
The paper supposes the extreme case
OF a parent being punished for keeping
his child at home to attend q funeral, a
wedding or christening. Has any such
thing occurred? Is there the least prob
ability of anything of the kind occurring?
Is there law on the statute books which
is not liable to abuse?
But the cream of the article is the at
tack On our public schools. Here is a
sample taken verbatim from the address:
1T is matter of experience that Ger
man children attending public school
learn just very little English and very
little of other branches taught in such
schools; In order to give our children a
! good education that will enable them to
get along in life our parochial schools
even though they did not teach English
are necessity"
| How is this as '1send off" for the pub
lie schools. Think of Arthur Richter of
this city going into the sophomore year
of the state university from a modest
graded public school and securing fell
lowship, But he is ignorant of English
and "other branches" according to Mr..
Koerner.
The address claims that English can
be best taught to German children by
not beeing:taught at all! What a glor-
ious theory!
English can be best taught in paro-
chial schools because explanations can
be made in German" Mr.. Koerner pro-
ceeds to say. There. are a number OF
bright young Germans teaching public
schools in this county whose experience
in this line would be of great value to
Mr.. Koerner if he is in search of the truth
They have succeeded in giving their pu-
pills knowledge of English by teach
ing the language. Can Mr.. Koerner sug
gest better method?
