A Lot Of Boston Natnrals.

Years ago, when Professor Agassiz
and a party of scientific friends were
making a raid upon the hills of New
Hampshire, they laid themselves open
TO the unconscious satire of their dri-
yer, who knows more about horses
than bugs. The Boston Herald re-
wives Il G old tale:
When the party came to Bethlehem
and were going mp long hill they all
got out and walked except G. c. Eel
ton, who remained with the driver on
the box. As the rest walked up the
hill, running here aud there, sweeping
with the muslin net, turning over logs
and stones, pouncing ON frogs, etc,
the driver said to Prof felton,, .sWho
are those you have with your "Oh,"
he repli d, "they are set of malural-
lists from an institution near Boston,"
There didn't seem TO be much in
this. but there was few moments
later. The down stage came along,
and as the two stages met they
stopped for moment. The other
driver gazed down the hill in aston
ishment and said: 'sWhat sort of
lively freight have you thcre?'
The driver of the distinguished par
ty leaned over and answered in a loud
confidential whisper, "They are set
of naturals from the asylum near
Boston; their keeper just told me So"

The Lake DMelIers.

In Swi Zerland, one winter when it
was very cold, the rivers were frozen
and the lakes were very shallow. The
people who lived on the border of one
of The lakes determined to make their
gardens larger, by running their side
walls out into the lake and building a
wall across to shut out the lake. Then
they were going 10 fill in the space
thus enclosed with mud taken from
the lake bed. When they commenced
to dredge they came upon quantity
of spiles, and ivory and stone and
bronze tools. Investigations proved
that above this lake and, indeed, above
others in Switzerland. had once risen
the homes of people who lived in
dwellings built high above the water
on splles or logs driven into the bed
of the lake. One lake having been
drained, two settlements were found
in it, one at each end. The part of the
eastern settlement which used TO stand
above the water had been destroyed
by fire, and the charrcd remains could
still be seen. Nobody had ever
dreamed of the existence of such peo-
pies. They are now known as the
"Lake DweIlcrs. ."-[6t. Nicholas.

Effect of the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Notwithstanding the Chinese ex-
clusion act, the Chinese population
of California at this time numbers
71,681. showing, as The Chicago
Herald states, that there has been
very slight decrease within the past
ten years. Many of the Chinese
residents of the state have returned
to their native country within three
years and many have left California
for other states. There has been no
increase of the Chinese POPULATION
through the birth of children, as but
very few Chinese women have ever
been brought TO this country. There
may be no doubt that Cinnamon reach
California from British Columbia TO
which they take passage from Hong
Kong. The federal government is
trying to put stop to this migration,
which goes on in violation of the ex-
clusion act, and it is reporte! that a
letter on the subject was recently
seat to the British Canadian customs
department, which replied that it had
no power to interfere with the move,
ments of Cinnamon who arrived in
Canada and pay the poll tax. 1t is
only by the vigorous enforcement of
this exclusion act along the whole line
of the Canadian border that the influx
of Cinnamon into this country can be
prevented.

The TOad's Quick Tongue.

A gentleman in Decring has a pet
toad that lives under plank walk in
his yard. At about the same time
every evening the toad comes ont TO
hunt for his food, and the gentleman
to enjoy his aftor-supper smoke.
He describes the toad methods of
getting supper, and says that, though
seemingly SO sluggish, in some respects
it is the quickest animal in the world.
lie has frequently seen it capture fly
so quickly as to deceive the eye. lie

In The Eli ISlnnIIs.

A generation ago the name Fiji was
common symbol for :he grosscst and
most rcpulsive savagcry. The natives
were not simply caunibals, but their
canuibalism was an every day affair,
forming necessary element in every
fcstivity.
The sovereignty of the islands was
first offered to England after dis
tressing history of internal fueds, in
1858, but the commissioner sent out
TO investigate reported adversely.
Meanwhile he influx of English and
other European settlers increased and
stable government became a ncces-
sity.
In 1889, accordingly, The protoc-
toEaf9sles again offered TO England

The administrative forms inlro-

cussion, writes Calvin Thomas in the
Chautauqua. Here, as elsewhere, the
policy has been, while doing away
with savagcry, 10 treat native usages
as gently as possible. The governor
of Fiji is "high commissioner of the
Western Pacific" and as such has been
a potent factor in checking the canni-
balistic and sIave-trading barbarities
for which The South Sea was until
lately notorious.

Calming Troubled Seas.

A new invention for spreading oil
on stormy seas has been brought out
by an English sea captain, and has
been tried with great success. The
apparatus distributes the oil in an
even and continuous flow from the
bows of the ship. thus securing econo-
my and effectiveness. The oil is con-
tanned in a tank connected with a
cylinder placed in the fore peak of
the ship and in such position that it
will be little above the water-line.
From the cylinder two small copper
pipes lead out through the bows on
either side, and the oil is allowed to
pass T-se!. .<as~s@s =. EatGF.----
The outlets of the pipes are but a
sixteenth of an inch in diameter, but

escapes is sufficient TO calm the most

gallons of oil in the tank and five in

The Difference.

A witty Detroit girl had two suitors,
both named Charles. One had scanty
hair, was timid, and did not dare to
speak the word lie wanted to. The
other was quite the reverse, and at the
first opportunity made his wishes
known. One day one of her acquaint-
ances asked her, "Nhat is the differ
ence between Charles the Bald and
Charles the Bold" by which she used
to speak of them to her girl friends.
"Only ayowal,n she answered quick as
