A Good wav to Learn a Language,

There are many ways of making the
study of languages interesting, but
probably none by which, apart from
interest, it can be made easy. In the
requirement of tongues all labor, unless
it be absolutely and wastefully misdi-
rected, tells in bringing about the de-
sired end A good plan is for the stu
dent to obtain translation of some
book with which he Is already familiar
IN English and read the foreign version,
using the original as a dictionary. A
work like Uncle Toms Cabin, which
has been translated into the principal
languages of Europe, is excellent for
the purpose. Bibles, now published at
a low cost in hundreds of tongues, are
also useful
When the aim of the learner is to
write as well as read in foreign tongue,
he can translate his original page by
page, and can use that original at once
as means of comparison and correction.
But whatever be the kind or extent of
the lingual knowledge sought, constant
repetition is essential as a means of con-
serving what has been acquired. -Bos-
ton Herald.

Captain Thonegal, of the schooner
Queen, which arrived at Astoria from
Vladivostok, Siberia, via Hakedate,
Japan, tells an interesting story of his
trip.
Way out in this faraway land, on
the borders of the Sea of Japan, at this
Siberian city, he found 80, 900 inhabit.
ants, and strange to say but one Amer
lean family among them. Nearly TWEEN
ty years ago Richard Smith, a young
Bostonian, ran away from a whaler
which put into Vladivostok for sup
plies, and remained among the Rus
slams. who owned the town. BY hard
work and careful management Smith
succeeded in saving up few thousand
dollars, and started back to Boston, in
tending to settle down there; but when
he reached his old home he found every
thing changed. To use his own Ian
guage, ''the people had become too
smart, and it required too much effort
to keep up with them and make money"
so, investing his money in a stock of
firearms, he again set sail for his far
away home, where he has since made a
fortune. He seems happy in his isola-
ton, and says he will never come back
to the United States again.
Vladivostok is the port from which
the Russian exiles are conveyed to the
islands near by, and like other Siberian
citias is almost under martial law all
the time. Cor. Portland Oregonian.

He Was Needed Anyway.

Here is a story that comes to me at
first hand a night watchman having
charge of a number of houses at well
known summer resort in this state was
desirous of getting another house, so he
went to the owner of it
"No," said the latter, II don't need
any one to take care of my house at
night If a burglar comes in I'll shoot
him.
That's all right" said the ready
watchman, but after you've killed
him you want some one to pull him out
of the house for you"

IT WAS SPORT Foa THE INDIANS.

The Lucky Ruse THAT Saved Western
Stage Coach from the Redskins.
Mr.. Carlyle had many encounter
with the Indians while on the plains in
the old days of stage coaching. He
tells of one that has a vein of comedy,
as they say of the melodrama. Mr..
Carlyle was out with new driver, fifty
miles east of Cottonwood, now Me
| Pherson. He found that band OF red
skins had taken possession of one of his
posts.
| The coach was too close to the station
for fight, and besides there we're about
two tons of mail and baggage matter
around-too much for fast travel So
Carlyle determined that the only way
TO do was to brazen the matter out.
He drove directly up to within 100
yards of the station, and claInbering
down from his seat, coolly set about
watering his horses.
The Indians were hilarious. They
clustered around Carlyle and greeted
him noisily-" "How2 howP'-slapping
him terrifically on the back. One buck
was particularly hearty in his slap and
almost stove in Carlyles shoulder,
maddening him with pain. Carlyle
was at the time lifting bucket of wa
ter from the well. With all his giant
strength he swung the heavy iron
bound bucket at the Indians head.
The latter ducked and the bucket
slipped downward, completely envelop-
ing his feathered head.
And there the heavy vessel stuck,
and the more Mr.. Indian tried to wig
gle out of it the tighter it stuck. This
struck all the other Indians as highly
humorous. They crowded around the
unfortunate buck, hooting and screech-
ing. They rolled him along the plain,
they kicked him, they buffeted him,
they cast handfuls of dust upon him,
and had a merry little picnic riding
around on their wooden headed com
rade.
While this picnic was in progress
Carlyle was busy. He had cut the
straps that held the coachs heavy cargo
of baggage, thrown off part of the mail,
and, bidding his frightened driver to
whip up, the coach was soon making
good time toward Cottonwood When
the Indians had tired of playing with
the buck and prepared to loot the
coach, they found it rapidly disappear
ing. With renewed screecbing they
raced back to the stables for their
ponies, ard mounting set out in pur-
suit
Carlyle, sitting on the top of the
coach, fought them off with his long
range Henry rife, and there was a very
pretty running fight all the way to Cot
tonwood, the Indians dropping the pur-
suit as the town was approached. =

Apes Bite of Each Others Fingers.

Orangs have a very curious method
of fighting. In their conflicts among
themselves, which are frequent, their
effort is always to seize the fingers of
their adversaries and bite them. A
very beautiful group of these animals
at the National museum, mounted by
Mr.. Hornadsy, admirably illustrates
typical encounter of the sort. 1t is
owing to this method of battle that it
is almost impossible to procure skin
which does not lack some of the fin
gers If defending itself against man
the beast will always attempt to grab
the arms of his human opponent, so as
to chew off his fingers. For this pur-
pose its jaw is excellently adapted, be-
ing enormously powerful and equipped
with huge incisors. Interview in

Married His grandmother

In the village of Arreton, in. the Isle
of Wight, many years ago, there lived
young man who was betrothed to a
young woman. Both were poor and
in humble life, but the grandfather of
the young man had money, and he fell
in love with the young woman and
proposed marriage to her. The girl
naturally made her young lover ac-
quainted with this offer, with renewed
assurance of devotion to him alone. He
was vexed, but having pondered over
the same, saw way to extrioate him
self and his sweetheart from the di-
lemma. Marry him, said he to the
girl; "he is rich; he cannot live long;
when he dies youll have his money
and I'll have you" BY the marriage
she became the young mans grand
mother Not long after the old man
died and then she welded her first be.

Knew of No Such Rules.

ladies standing, went to the gentleman
and told him, loud enough for those
around him to hear:

II know of no rules of the road that
can compel me to travel with child
on my lap, replied the gentleman in
dignantly. THAT child isn't mine"
And the owner of the young vagrant,
just then taking in the situation, led
the child back to her seat, whence it
had wandered, amid the laughter of
the auditors. New York Herald.

Improve Your Razor.

The simplest method of sharpening a
razor is to put it into water to which
one-twentieth of its weight of muriatic
or sulphuric acid has been added, and
allow it to remain there for half an
hour Then lightly wipe it off, and
after few hours set it on a hone.
The acid supplies the place of a whet-
stone by corroding the whole surface
uniformly, so that nothing further than
a smooth polish is necessary. This
process never Injuries good blades,
while badly hardened ones are often
improved by it, although the cause of
the Improvement remains unexplained.

Early Life Of the EShorter and the Horse
That Caused the Change.
Before Sam Jones took to preaching
he ran a public dray at Cartersville, bis
native town. lie was a familiar figure
around the depot, and he at that time
bauled all the drummers' trunks from
the depot t. the hotel. Many veteran
druminers still remember Sam as
drayinan.
His outfit was a small, rickety, rat
tling. ramshackling wagon and an old
sorrel horse, that was old and expert
enced enough to have come down from
from the Revolutionary war This
horse was a character in his way and
some people say he was the cause OF
Sans reformation. He was as humble
a horse as one would wish to see.
He submitted to all Sans cuffs and
rebuffs without any protest other than
mildly backing his flea bitten ears. He
had an air of one who was always
deeply engaged in thought and looked
upon the frivolities of this life with
supreme disdain. And then Sans
horse was extremely unsociable in his
temperament. He never cared to
make any new acquaintances and
seemed desirous of treading the wine
press of sorrow alone. For many days
he went on in the same quiet way,
drawing Sans rickety old dray with
the sublimest fortitude. 1t was never
necessary for Sam to tie him when he
left him, for he had such insurmounta-
BILE constitutional objections to locomo-
tion that there was little danger of him
taking his departure. So Sam thought
and so it was for many, many days.
But things do not always remain the
same, alas!
One day Sans horse was seen, to the
most extreme surprise of the Carriers
Williams, tearing down Main street fol-
lowed by the dray, which was rolling
about from one side to the other. Down
the street he went like mad, and it
seemed wonderful to those who knew
him intimately that he could acquire
such speed Sam, who had left him
for some purpose, stood watching his
mad career eagerly.
"He's decided to emigrate," Sam re-
marked, as the horse continued in his
wild flight.
Presently the horse swerved to his
right and the wagon struck against a
tree, and, with a crash, came to a
standstill.
The spectators all went down to sur
vey the wreck. 1t was complete one
indeed. Sam stood and looked at it
silently for some moments in deep re-
fection. There was pathos in his
voice when he finally turned around
and said;
Il guess I'll have to find some other
way to make living"
In few weeks Sam left Cartersville
and went down near Columbus.
"The next heard or saw of Sam, ="
said the gentleman who told the story,
'he came back to Cartersville and
preached a sermon. l went out to
hear him, and | never saw such COM

Colonel Hart. manager of the Cor
nucopia mine, OF Neihart, tells the fol
lowing interesting little story
One Of the principal owners of the
Mollie Gibson mine, at Aspen, Colo,
had daughter who was married a few
years ago. Shortly after her return
from her wedding trip.she went to her
father and told him she wanted house.
The old gentleman. after few mo-
inents' deliberation, said ''My girl. I'll
tell you what Ill do; | will give you
one days work Of any two men in the
mine you I.iay select"
The bride thought this was rather
a slim allowance from one who could
well afford to be generous, and she
was not slow to express the disappoint-
ment which she felt. The young lady
was very popular with the miners and
when they heard of the proposition
which their chief had made to his
daughter they held meeting and Sc
lected the best two workmen from
among their number. These two
worthless presented themselves before
the young lady, and after a vast
amount of preliminary bowling and
scraping the spokesman addressed her
as follows: Say, miss, If you will only
choose us two fellers you'll never be
sorry for it, Wen git an everlastin
rustic on US, and we'll stick the old
man for you. You can just bet your
sweet life we will"
She selected these two men, and on
the appointed day they did git an
everlastin rustic" on them, and they
succeeded in sticking the old man to
the full extent of their promise. Ore
to the value of S31, 900 was taken out
by those two miners i'm one day, and
one of the very finest mansions in Aspen
was the result of their toll and the Sc
lection made by the young BRIDE
