ADVICE TO TAKERS.

"Brcvity Is the Soul of Vit"--"1odesty
Eecomatll the Wise Man."
If you are a real blooming idiot al
ways sit in the middle of the room; if
you are wise man you will sit in the
corner. Speak of yourself as little as
possible; the rest of tho company will
do enough talking about you when you
are not present. Speak well of the alb
sent, says the Chicago Herald, unless
you are sure they are quite dead or
have left the country never to return,
otherwise you may sometimes find
yourself in an embarrassing position.
In stormy discussion, take care not
to take sides with either party until
you see which has the best Of it, and
then You can do good deal of talking.
In q general conversation, never joke
with q superior, however innocent your
pleasantly may be, because you may be
using the only joke he has in stock, and
he won't like you ever afterward.
However absurd may be a tale which is
told you, If the narrator assures you
that it is true, you must appear to be-
lieve 1t thoroughly; that is, you must
give no sign of incredulity If, at the
church social, the minister says what
seems to be improbable, it is not good
form to cxclaim: ''Oh, rats!" If you
desire to put yourself on record as dis
believer, you can make sundry sly mo-
tions, and quietly wink at the others
present in manner that will show
that you are on to his little story.
Don't talk politics in the presence OF
ladies, for to do SO proves ut once that
you are deficient both in tact and polite
ness TO them politics is as uninterest-
ing as "take three stitches, cross four,
purl two" is to men. Do not deliber-
ately tell lie if you have any reason to
suspect that there arc those present
who know you are falsifying; but if.
after telling a lie, you discover by the
expression on some ono's face that you
have been found out, take the doubling
one aside and in some manner square
yourself before the task assumes gigan-
tic proportions.

The prophecy of President Lincoln.
made by him in q private letter to

lustrated than to-day. He then said:

Here is the method employed by the
hunters of British Columbia who poach
upon the sealing grounds: When the
schooner sights seal the little boats
are lowered. A hunter armed with two
shotguns and rife and two sailors to
pull the boat take their places and the
hunt begins. The seal may be swim
ming at the surface, or rerchance he is
sleeping. The boat is pulled quietly to-
ward the animal. In nine cascs out Of
ten the seal takes alarm and dives out
of sight before the boat is brought close
enough to use the guns with effect, and
in no case does the hunter shoot unless
he feels sure of his quarry. The seal
when shot at once commences to sink.
and the boat has to be pulled rapidly up
to it. when the body is "gaffcd" and
hauled aboad. This is repeated as long
as seal can be seen. In many cases
only one or two will be killed during a
two days hunt, while at other times as
many as twenty viii be taken.

FEMALE GLAcKsMiTAs.

Efforts arc being made in Great Brit
tain to secure legislation that would
prohibit the employment OF women and
girls in the business of making nails,
spikes and chains. 1t has been said
that female employment in this direc-
ton was compulsory. not of choice.

smithy, with its lurid glare of lcaping
sparks. its sonorous chimes of the fall

The red-hot metal. Eve waiting on
Vulcan has involScd the pity and caress
of humanity and furnished the text for
many political TRADE against the
government and civilization that made
such conditions a necessity of industrial
life, says the Age of Steel.
We have nothing to say against this
crusade for female emancipation,
though il the truth be told the amazons
of the black country, with it's countless
furnaces and it's sinolsc-darllcncd sky,
are by no means the scrfs they seem to
be, and arc so far exempt from the
Winchestcrs that have been conspicu-
GUS in some labor troubles this side of
the Atlantic
We do not believe in female employ
ment in such muscular business as
making spikes and chains. The forge
is no place for a woman; but If she
chooses to swing hammer who can
prevent it? 1t may be an abnormal
prediction, and by no means coinci-
dent with the parlor and piano idea of
the modern Eve, but in an age when
women are captains of ships and run
ming the municipal government of cities
no law can annul the right of the gentle
sex to make the shoe orpound the anvil.
That there arc two sides OF this ques-
ton of female blaclismiths can no
longer be doubted, since q delegation of
lady iron-worl1crs waited on the home
secretary to protest against interfer-
cncc with their rights. There was
nothing savoring of sickness, atrophy
or nervousness in this amazonian
deputation. If dry goods were but
poorly represented, force and flesh were
here in robust conditions. One of the
speakers had reached the modest age
of fifty-sevcn years, of which quite fifty
had been spent hanarncring iron, with
occasional relapscs, during which she
had bcqucathed fourteen children to
her husbands care and the census of
the nation.
A lass of sixteen years, who welded
hammer weighing eighteen pounds,
pleaded her improvement in health as
reason why the law should not inter-
fere with her business. Appearances
justified her logic, for she had the
nerve of lioness and the shoulders of
an athlete.

Peregrinating Perkins, having risen

Arrived at the grounds the boat
comes to anchor in water not very deep.
The floats are adjusted SO that the hook
will hang about six inches from the

two, as the blood very quickly attracts
the sharks, and carefully placed upon
the hooks, the point of each being well
covered. The end OF the line is made
fast to something in the boat; and the

Allow the shark to have his own way,
and to play with the hook for few
moments in order that you may be sure
that he has had time to get the bleed

give strong jerk.
If you have hooked him you will soon
know it, for lively scene will follow.
The shark is q very gamy fish, and ex-
presses very vigorously his dislike OF
changing his element. If he is of good
size, from four to six feet long, it would
probably be impossible for you to get
him in alone, and you will be very glad
of one or two more pairs Of hands to
take hold with you; and If now it

does, that one or two of your coIhpan-

People Who Consider lt q DUTY TO ATTEND

Ireland, owing to the natural confor-
nation of the island, Is especially
adapted to the rearing and breeding of
horses; moreover, the Irishman Is con-
stitutionally fond Of the horse, almost
as much so as the Mexican and the
Arab, and loves his stecd with an indi-
vidual and personal affection. In a
country where every kind of sport is
held in high esteem, says the n. Y. Sun,
where the ragged and pennless outcast

more or less excellent breed of horses.
Even when the highest prizes do not
exceed twenty pounds, and the bets are
in shillings If not in coppers, the popu-
lar interest is rs keen as if thousands
were lost or won. Moreover. Ireland is
the home of stecplechasing, and the ma

five hundred thousand horses represents
a sum of twelve million sterling, and

Third street yesterday noon, as he was

the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, fig
