Did You know this Before?

The following bit of information
is gathered from the correspondence
of an English gentleman. We re-
produce it for the benefit Of the
TELEGRAPH-CoURIER readers:
"A few days ago | was standing
by an American gentleman, when |
expressed wish to know which
point was north. He at once pulled
out his watch, looked at it, and point
ed to the north. / asked him wheth-
er he had compass attached to his
watch. GAIL watches" he replied,
care compasses." Then he ex-
planned to me how it was. Point the
hand to the sun, and the south is
exactly half way between the hour
and the figure XII, on the watch
For instance, suppose it is four
o'clock. Point the hand indicating
four to the sun, and II on the watch
is exactly south. Suppose that it is
exactly eight o'clock, point the hand
indicating eight to the sun, and the
figure on the watch is due south.
My American friend was quite sur
prised that I did not know this.
Thinking that was very possibly
ignorant of thing that everyone
else knew, and happening to meet
Mr. Stanley I asked that eminent
traveller whether he was aware Of
this simple mode of discovering the
points Of the compass? He said
that he had never heard Of it. |
presume, therefore, that the world is
ii the same state Of ignorance"

The Girl at a Boys College

The girl who goes to the Univer-
sity of Michigan to day, just as when
| entered there in 1872, finds her
own boarding place in one Of the
quiet homes of the pleasant little
city vhose interest centres in the
$500 students scattered within its
borders. She makes the business
arrangements for her winters fuel
and its storage; she finds her wash
erwoman or her laundry; she ar
ranges her own hours of exercise, of
study, and of sleep; she chooses her
own society, clubs, and church. The
advice she gets comes from another
girl student of sophmoric dignity
who chances to be in the same
house, or possibly from a still more
advanced young woman whom she
met on the journey, or sat near in
church on her first sunday. Strong
is the comradeship among these am.
bilious girls, who nurse one another
in illness, admonish one another in
health, and rival one another in
study only less eagerly than they all
rival the boys. In my time in col
lege the little group OF girls, sudden
ly introduced into the army Of young
men, felt that the fate of our sex

Christianity The Remedy for
Social Evils

If Christianity was universally
adopted, all social evils would van
ish; there would be few very rich
persons; comparatively few would be
poor, and those would be worthy of
abundant sympathy and help, which
they would receive. At a gathering
of socialists at the grave of Carl
Marx, celebrating the anniversary Of
his death, one of the speakers de-
clared, The three things which the
world needs are solidarity, energy,
and self-sacrifce. +" Self-sacrifce is
another word for disinterestedness,
and this needs Christianity; for, as
F. D. Maurice. the English rector,
socialist, and friend of Kingsley,
said, BE very.sure of this, that no
human creatures will be found say
ing sincerely Our brothers on earth
unless they have said previously
Our Father which art in heaven. +"
Prescriptions for the relief Of
symptoms or for deadening sensibil-
ity to pain can at best serve but a
temporary purpose. If while serving
that purpose they divert attention
from constitutional maIadies which
I if left to themselves will inevitably
prove fatal, the good that they may
do becomes inhnitesimal in compari-
son with the evil. Reformers may
or may not have doubts Of the super
natural origin of Christianity, and
may or may not openly ally them
selves with any Of its visible forms,
but without its aid, directly or indi-
rectly, any scheme which antagonizes
Christianity must be limited in its
application and restricted in its dur
alton to the lifetime Of its founder or
his immediate SUCCESSORS From
christianity and Socialism, by Dr.
J. NJ. BUCKLEY, in Harpey,s Maya
zine for July.

The Girl to be Avoided.

She is the girl who takes you off
in one corner and tell you things
that you wouldn't repeat to your
mother.
She is the girl who is anxious to
have you join party, which is to be
"a dead secret and at which, be-
cause people are very free and easy,
you are uncomfortable and wish you
were at home.
She is the girl who tries to induce
you, "just for fun, to smoke a cigar
cite, or to take a glass Of wine, and
you don't know, and possibly she
doesn't, that many of the sinners Of
to-day committed their first sins
"just for fun"
She is the girl who persuades you
that to stay at home and care and
love your own, to help mother and
to have your pleasures at home and
where the home people can see
them, is stupid and tiresome; and
that spending the afternoon walking
up and down the street, looking at
the windows and the people is Gust
delightful"
She is the girl who persuades you
that slang is witty, that loud dress
that attracts attention is stylish, .
and that your own simple gowns are
dowdy and undesirable. She doesn' t
know, nor do you, how many women
have gone to destruction because of
their love for fine clothes.
She is the girl who persuades you
that to be on very familiar terms
with three or four young men is an
evidence of your charms and fascin-
alton, instead of being, as it is, an
outward visible sign Of your perfect
folly.
She is the girl who persuades you
that it is very smart thing to be re-
ferred to as "a gay girl" She is
very, very much mistaken.
And, of all others, she is the girl
who, no matter how hard she may
try to make you believe in her, is tc
be avoided.-Ruth Ashmore, in ZHt

A Victim Of Fate.

There are tides in the affairs of
men" which must be taken at the
ebb instead of the food, and appar-
emily without the consent or the fault
of the sufferer lead on to the sever
est misfortune, says the Springfield
Mass Rebubltcan. The strange
case of Jacob Norcross, late of Ash
land, Ore, illustrates this in a strik-
ing way, and gives those philoso-
piers who have no room for luck or
chance in their systems an oppor-
tunity for mental exercise in tracing
the causes Of the chain of misfor-
tunes which began with loss of prop
erty and ended in sudden death.
Two years ago Jacob Norcross was
a rich ranchman who lived happily
with his family, surrounded by his
herds, in the Cascade region at Ash
land. But the winter was severe
and storms violent, and when spring
came the ranchman's horses and cat
tie had persisted, like the focks and
herds of Job, and almost none re-
NAMED. He still had his ranch and
his home, and stock to form a nu-
cleus for new herds, but for only a
brief time; for first a failure, then a
fire, and then another failure which
forced him to pay heavily on notes
which he had Endorsed, took from
him the remainder of his store and
left him as Job was left after Satan's
visit. Then he was bereft of child,
and then, following the analogy, Of
health and strength, and feeble and
discouraged and homeless Norcross
was forced to go to friends for shell
ter for himself and wife. This jour
ney was made in carriage drawn by
his only remaining horses, and just
before its end, while crossing the
railroad track, a special train run
ming at an unusual hour struck his
team, killed both horses, wrecked
the carriage, and bruised and wound
ed Norcross and his wife. There
was seemingly only one thing more
to happen to this modern Job, and
that happened almost at the end o.
his journey, when it seemed that
danger was over; for at Albany ne
stumbled, fell, and when his wife
bent over him he was dead. Per.
haps his death was not a misfortune
under the circumstances, but it moi
unhtly ended the series Of ills which
had its occasion-where Who car
tell where or point out the stages o.
the evolution of these successive
| blows :?

Worlds Fair Notes.


1t is reported that the Prince of
Wales, Emperor William of Germany
and the Shah of Persia all seriously
contemplate visiting the World Fair
in 1893.
The managers of the great naval
exhibition at Chelsea, England, have
consented to allow the model of Mel
sons ship, the Victory, to be trans
ferred to the Columbian Exposition.
More than $5,ooo,ooo of Exposi-
ton work is now contracted for and
is in progress.
The Sultan of Zanzibar has decid-
ed to make an extensive exhibit, and
a request for space has been cabled.
Massachusetts will devote SO, 900
to its education exhibit. The States
entire appropriation is $4,000.
The effort to have a tribe of Afri-
can pigmies exhibited at the Expo
sition is pretty certain to succeed.
Tippoo lib has given his consent
and the consent of the King of Bel
GUM, which also is necessary, can
easily be obtained, it is believed,
through the State Department.
The Exposition Directory has ia
ken action under which adequate in
surance will be placed upon all per
sons and property for which it can
be held liable during the Fair. It is
the intention to place an insurance
of something like $500, 900, 900 on
the exhibits.
No side shows are to be permitted
within the Exposition grounds. The
Directory has decided that the en-
trance fee shall entitle the visitor tC
see everything within the enclosure
There will be, however, several
theatres built and kept running, al
which the finest talent in the world
it is expected, will appear, and visi-
tors who choose to attend the per
formances will have to pay an ad-
mission fee. Such sights as "a
Street in Cairo" will be free, but
natives of oriental countries in a few
countries will be allowed to charge
a small fee to some special perform
ances of a theatrical nature.
Capt. D. P. Dobbins, Superinten-
dent of the Life Saving Service OF
Lakes Erie and Ontario and the
! Ohio River is IRVING to complete
arrangements for the exhibition, at
the Worlds Fair in Chicago, Of the
gunboat Niagara, which is sunk in a
good state of preservation in Massa-
sauga Bay, Erie Harbor. Captain
Dobbin's father was the builder of
the American fleet of. 1925, and
the Captain has in his possession
Commodore Perry's personal records
and memoranda. The Niagara and
Laurence were sunk soon after the
engagement of Lake Erie, eighty
years ago; the Laurence was raised
and taken to Philadelphia in 1876,
but was burned there. The Mag
ara was purchased by Captain Dob
bins and taken to Erie, where she
still lies under water. The guns
with which the Niagara was origi-
nally manned have been secured, and
will be upon the decks at the Fair.
Captain Dobbs planned and put into
operation the first life-saying station

At the Congregational Church this
evening the testimonial concert for Miss
Gertie Carly Aud will be given. 1t will
be her farewell to California, as she leaves
tomorrow for Europe to complete her
musical education. The story of this
young lady's musical progress is familiar
to the community which takes pride in
her advancement and looks forward to
her return with interest. She has deli
cate bird-lille soprano, flexible, pure and
sweet and well managed. Since she has
been under instruction in San Francisco
she has greatly improved. The hope ex-
pressed by San Francisco critics con-
corning her is that she may develop the
physical strength essential that is, that
training of her voice, which is of rare
quality, may not thin it more. But she is
young and with careful physical training
has everything III her favor for future
eminent success. The concert this even
ing is benefit to aid the young singer to
pursue her European studies, The pro-
gramme this evening is varied and prom
ises to be very enjoyable. c. A. Neale
