Badness and Culture.

A learned German savant, DIR. Alex
ander Winckler. quoting tho statement
that the man Of the finished civilization
will in all probability be baldheaded and
toothless, proceeds to give directions for
enabling the average individual to reach
the state of high culture as soon as pos,
sible, at least so far as badness is con-
cerned-
The first rule to attain this sign of
culture quickly is to keep the head as
warm as possible Bareheaded nations
have thick hair. consequently they are
low in the scale OF civilization So
cover your head close and hot winter
and summer. In winter always wear a
fur cap In summer do not patronize
such uncultured and trashy devices as
straw hats, but bear about upon your
Uranium stiff felt or silk headcovering
Do not go bareheaded even IN the house
. Uncultured nature might then assert her
self and decline TO make yon bald Wear
therefore, fez or oilskin cap in the house.
If nature refuses to help women along
to badness rapidly enough. let them pin
on rolls Of false hair This is one Of the
best possible devices for Fastening the
sign of culture. So are hairpins, curl
ing irons and the old fashioned night
caps so priced by our grandmothers.
The hair waters and pomades of the bar
bers are also to be recommended So is
raking the head twice or thrice daily
with sharp toothed combs and steel
brushes Dissipation Is an excellent
means to the same end, Among ali
these. if in a short time your head does
not become as naked as peeled onion.
then it viii be certain that there is NO
capacity for the higher culture in you.

a ship on u Mountain.

About twenty years ago Commander
Gilkeson was an officer ON the United
States vessel Wateree. One clear and
calm afternoon. when about thirty miles
of the coast u Peru. an enormous wave
was seen bearing down on the ship. The
Wateree was brought about to meet the
wave, rode upon its crest. and thirty
minutes later was left high and dry upon
a mountain three miles back from the
Peruvian coast and / 700 feet above the
level Of the sea, having travelled at rate
OF over sixty miles an hour.
The loss Of life by this tidal wave was
frightfuI. one city alone Of 30. 900 inhab-
itants having been overwhelmed All
the vessels in the neighborhood Of the
Peruvian coast foundered, with the
exception Of the Wateree. and while. the
crew was safe the ship was loss and
it had to be abandoned. there being no
way of getting 1t down from the noun
tain. Several countries appointed COM
missions to investigate the catastrophe
but. while they advanced many theories.
they never satiagactorily explained the
cause. - Boston Globe.

Nothing illustrates the comparative
estimation in which women are held in
Great Britain and America better than
an incident that happened lately at a
working girls fair in England. The oc-
casion was the festival of the Girls
Friendly society. OF course various per-
sonages from the superior ranks
stopped from their heights to patronize
these humble creatures in their own
proper sphere. There were prizes offered
for the various accomplishments sup
posed to befit females in the humber
walks Of life. Among the prizes so of
fered his high mightiness the bishop OF
Bedford gave three-irst, second and
third best-for what? Was it making
preserves or bread or ironing or perhaps
the artistic arrangement Of the dinner
table? Well, no. it wasn't. 1t was fol

The Methodist Council.

Forty-five million Methodists win be
represented in the Ecumenical council
that IS to convene in Washington from
Oct. Z to 20. 1t will be the second such
great council in the history OF the
church, the first having been held in
London ten years ago. At the coming
one in Washington 500 delegates will be
present. 300 from America, 200 from the
rest Of the world. This proportion rep
resents the relative numbers of adher-
ents OF the church Of John Wesley in
the eastern and western worlds
The great council that is to meet is in
no sense authoritative, but deliberative.
The power that it yields will be moral
power. but it will be none the less felt.
The council has piled up for itself q
larger pyramid OF work than is usually
laid before congress Of the United
States. 1t will endeavor to discuss and
make recommendations on all the gem
eral leading questions of the day and
those of the Methodist church in par
ticular. Among these burning topics, so
to speak. are the Woman Question; tho
Labor and Capital Subject; Romanism.
Its Present Position as Political and
Religious Power; the Church and Tenn
perance Reform: the Bible and Modern
Criticism; Marriage and Divorce. and
the Church and Scientific Thought.
These are not quarter of the topics
laid out for this council to settle. II
these learned and devout men succeed in
disposing satisfactorily Of even one or
two Of them, they will do more than all
the rest Of the world has been able to
accomplish.

A correspondent writes thus in the
New York World: While setting out an
apple orchard would also plant an equal
number Of peach trees, alternating an
apple with peach. When the apple
trees have reached maturity ample room
is exceedingly important. When at their
best they should have at least thirty-five
feet space each way. and forty would
DO even better. Many years. however.
will elapse before they will require all
the ground devoted to them. and during
these early years. what in the newly
planted orchard seems like a waste Of
ground may be utilized by planting
peach between the apple trees. These
will have passed their period Of useful
ness without any damage to the grow
ing orchard. and if few are remaining
when the space they occupy is wanted
they can be cut down know that
some argue against this plan. but have
seen good many fine crops OF peaches
raised in this way without discovering
that any injury whatever was done to
the apple trees. !"

New YORK, June 1.-THE foreign metal
markets are thus reported by the Iron Age:
in London, the market for pig iron warrants
has been unsettled and irregular. Scotch
sold down 6S to Ass, and Cleveland went to
39S, while hematites moved up to sos. There
has been considerable excitement during
the week, but the squeeze in Scotch war
rants Is believed to be over and fresh bust
ness Is light. Buyers hold aloof, as though
awaiting lower prices, ana the I'M
preston that the London syndicate
are letting prices down, with a
view u checking a heavy increase in war
rant stores alS3 has n bearing. The stock in
CGnnal's stores is now 5l5, 900 tons Scotch and

the week, and, while prompts have COM
manded pre1Glum over futures at times,
considerable outside interest in the latter
has been attracted by the further reduction
in stocks here
Prices for cope, have ruled irregular and
there has been large turnover on specula-
tive account during the week in addition to
