Originate in Different Nations from Ger
tain Peculiarities OF tho PePple. VI
II is not, perhaps, q far-fetched sug-
gestion that we may detect good deal
of natural character in the idioms en-
ployed for salutation and affirmation
Thus the English, who are always busy
and doing something, say: ''How do
you dopn The Frenchmen, who are
always thinking of their appearance and
OF the impression they may mako by
their department. ask: How do you
carry yourselfp" The German, whose
wits are apt to be wandering in maze
of speculation, inquiries: 'How dg
you find YOURSELF" The Italian, who
when in good health. stands easily and
moves gracefully, deems it the most
pertinent question TO ask: ''How d.
you standP,' or How do you goP" AM
other curious fact is that the southern
and catholic nations always say: Il
believe So" where the northern and
protestant nations would say: 81 THING
So" It is as if the former took every
thing on trust as q matter OF belief,
while the latter refer everything to
their own reason, and accept Il as a
matter of opinion. The Romans seldom
gave token of assent by means Of a
simple particle like our Eyes. but usu-
ally answered by reaffirming the ques-
TONER'S proposition. Thus to the i'm
quiry: do you believer" they would
reply: II believe" Their 'Ita est"
seems TO have correspondent TO the
Americanism, That's So" One might
pursue this investigation through all
the idioms of ocialintercourse in differ
ent countries. says the New York Ledg-
er. and it would probably prove possible
TO explain most OF them by national
temperaments and habits or thoughts.

CHAPTER XI.

Nothing but the rain and the fate Of
Sir Philip Darrell was talked about at the
Larehes. Roland's face on tho night De-
fore had plainly showed that something
was very wrong; but he had vOuehsafed
not word of explanation, going straight
to his room; and now he was equally I'M
communicative. He sat at the table while
the buzz of talk went on around him,
and did not utter word. His appetite
usally hearty-had deserted him. He
drank eagerly, as If consumed by thirst,
but ate nothing; and his mother and sis
tiers arrived at the conclusion that he had
seen lima, spoken 20 her, and been reject
ed. Rose tried strenuously to Danish Sir
Philips name from the conversation, and
succeeded partially, but not entirely.
Directly after breakfast Roland with
drew to his study and locked the door;
and no one ventured to intrude upon his
solitude. The heavy fall of rain sill noon
frustrated his original intention Of seek
ing lima in the morning; but, as soon as 1t
abated, he sailed forth; and, as he crossed
the hall, Rose rushed up TO him breath
less.
"Roland, Roland, have you lIeard7''
"Heard what!" said her brother rough
ly. al have heard nothing"
"Why, job Heston is having the Mine

night the floods will be SO great that the

"Ah, by Heaven"
Roland paused suddenly, and q look
came into his face that made his sister re-
cola look she remembered afterwartts,
and read rightly then; now il only flied
her with vague horror.

led him into self-recollectioD.

He passed out, mounted his horse, and
rode away. When he reached the Grange,
he asked for Miss Costello. She was ut
home the servant told him, but Miss DurD-
ford was out.
This was just what Roland desired; and
he entered the drawing-room, and waited
with beating heart for lima. Would she
run away from him q second time? Nei
He heard q light step in the oak passage,
the door opened, and the girl entered. She
looked deathy white; and there was a
latent dread in her large eyes, but the
curved lips and firm brow showed nothing
but resolve. She drew back rs Roland
came. forward eagerly, and held out her
hand, as If by that action to deny him any
other salutation until she knew whether
he returned it as lover or as cousin. Ro-
land paused.
"Well," he said with a forced laugh,
which the angry flush in his cheeks and
the fierce CLEAN in his eyes belied," are we

TIMING BIG STEAMSHIPS.
The Way the Record is Kept and the
Points OF Observation.

The Way the Record Is Kept and the
Points of Observation.
The British government has a man
stationed at Roche's point who is paid
to record in book the exact time these
steamers pass his signal station. both
inward and outward bound. Since the
acute rivalry between the feet ships OF
the White Star and Inman lines has
sprung up this man has been even
more than ordinarily careful in carry
ing out his instructions, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. In passing Roche's
Point the vessels go through a channel
hardly three miles wide, and as a gen.
eral thing they pass within an easy
mile of the government signal station.
Since the fast ships began to reckon
their speed 80 carefully. this signal
officer has timed them from the mo-
ment they were exactly abeam OF his
station. The outward bound vessels
usually go past him at full speed.
What becomes OF them after that is of
no concern to the signal man. He inn
mediately telegraphs his record to the
steamship agents in Queenstown,
whence it is forwarded to the main
Office at Liverpool. Both the Inman
and the White Star lines have a man
of their own at Roche's Point to make
observations and figures. Sometimes
they differ. But If by any possible
chance the question OF vessels actual
time came up in British court OF law
the government signal. mans figures
would stand.
In similar way the official time
on the other side is taken the moment
the vessel is abeam of Sandy Hook.
The line is set by the compass and the
telescope does the rest. The moment
Of crossing is almost as clearly defined
as in the case OF the running horse on
the track Passengers on the trans
atlantic steamers date the time OF their
passage either from Lands End or
from the time the vessel starts until
she comes to anchor. The steamship
companies do not take this into &C
count at all in their official records
They know the time OF course that
vessel leaves Liverpool and of her ar
rival at Queenstown. But this is not
considered in the record of her pas
sage. The subsidized mail boats-the
White Star and Cunard-usually an
Choir at Queenstown. a mile or two
further inside Roche's Point than do
the Inman boats and other Atlantic
liners which are not obliged to await
the arrival of the Irish mail at Queens
town, except for stray passenger or
two. The mail boats are usually the
last to get away from The harbor.

PEARLS.

Beneath the tumult of the pillows
In the shadow of the shore,
Where is silence only broken
BY tho breakers echoed roar;
in the paths untrod by footsteps,
In the dimness of the deep,
Where the fairy sea nymphs wander,
And their treasures hidden keep;
IN the vast unfathomed stiffness,
Next tho underlying heart,
Where the forms that kindly shelter
Shut the outer world apart;
Touched not by the surging waters,
In the calm below the sea,
lie the pearl gems radiating
Light from far eternity.

The actual effect OF fog upon human
life is uncertain. 1t has been noticed,
however, that fogs in cold weather are
accompanied by rise in the death
rate. This may be due chiefly to the
cold. hut IL must be remembered that
cold is intensified by fog. which OBJ
structs the rays OF the sun. There is
no doubt OF the injurious effects upon
vegetation. which is affected, even at
distance, OF thirty or forty miles from
London. 1t is the sulphur, probably,
that does the mischief. There seems
to be no room for doubt that the num-
Der OF fogs will increase in London in
exact proportion to the growth of the
city, unless some means are discovered
in getting rid of the smoke. which
comes, it must be added. from the do
nestle hearths. not from the factories.
How this problem will be solved. il

LONDON FOES.
Number Constantly Increaslng-Of What
They Are Composed.

An important paper on London fog
was read at the hygienic congress by
DR. Russell, who has made it the sub
ject of special study. He says, first of
all, that the number OF fogs is con-
stantly increasing in the metropolis.
From 1870 to 1875 there were SO OF
them; from 1875 to 1880. 156. This
is the direct result OF the increased
consumption OF coal, which amounted
to 6. 400, 900 tons in 1890 as against
4, 400. 900 tons in 1885. DR.. Russell
claims to have proved that increased
smoke makes fogs more frequent as
well as thicker, by adding to impuri-
ties in the air. Fogs. he adds. are es-
pecially likely to occur in still. cold
weather. The composition of London
fog is as follows:

Friday night Hippard attended the temperance
meeting and after the meeting was over Fred
ericks struck Hippard on the head with a stick
Judge Miller told Fredericks that if it was not
for the wounds he had received and which had
left him a cripple he would certainly have to
go to Jail, but in consideration of his condition
he would let him off with fine of SIS.
SHE FOLLOWED HIM.
Solomon Bell, colored telegraph lineman
