som. German Spelling.


In the German empire no department
of life escapes the vigilant eye of gov
ernment departments. One of the latest
instances of this benevolent supervision
IS Il circular which has just been issued
by the colonial Office at Berlin. From
this document we learn that the foreign
Office. at the request of the colonial coun-
Gil, appointed Il committee of experts,
and presided over by Dir. HerZoS, secre-
tary Of the colonies. to consider the spell,
ing of geographical names in the Ger
man protectorates. The deliberations of
the committee have resulted in Il code of
rules, which start from the principle
that al] spelling is TO be as nearly as pos
sible phonetic, and to reproduce the pro-
nunciation of the natives, not of Euro
peans.
Then there are detailed directions for
the use of the particular vowels and CON
sonants. of accents and hyphens. A
promise is given that Il gazetteer will be
compiled i'll compliance with the direc,
tions above given. a standing commit,
tee is to superintend the work and ISSUE
from time to time lists of approved spell
ings, which will be enforced on officials
and which it is hoped mapmakcrs, jour
nalists and authors will follow.-I. .o,(.o.

I,ibcrality I'm Dress.

The invitation of an up river vicar to
boating men to attend the services at his
church in their 1iannels is another indi-
cation of the prevailing spirit Of liber-
ality in dress. The old restrictions seem
to be gradually in course of removal.
and there is some danger that contrary
extreme may in time be INDUCED in.
For instance, the presence Of a man in a
Norfolk jacket in the stalls OF a fashion
able west end theater the other even
ing gave rise to some fears on the part
of ladies present that 'the poor man had
had no dinner" Had he overheard the
conversation he would have experienced
no difficulty i'll comprehending the i'm
piled rebuke.
In Paris there has been Il movement
to revive frills and embroideries on
evening shirts, and more than one gom-
maux has adapted the jabot of lace-a
little plated frill that is familiar enough
in the portraits of the Seventeenth CEN
tury. Velvet facings to evening coats
have also been seen in Paris, and it
would not be improbable that the wear
ers would ostracize any stranger who
would appear even at a club in post
prandial hours in Norfolk jacket

Apples in Western New York.

Now that the cold winds Of winter are
beginning to blow over us, the apple
buyers are quietly storing away quanti-
ties of fruit to put on the market later
on. This years crop has been Il fairly
good one for an off year, and the price
of apples during the winter will be
within reach of every one, it is said.
Despite the unpromising outlook during
1.-THE summer months, growers have pro-
duced enough to supply the home de-
mand.
Erie county is behind in her annual
production perhaps, but Niagara, Or
leans, Genesee, Monroe and adjoining
counties will make up the deficit. In
!. the western states apples are said to be
scarce, but in the eastern, particularly
Massachusetts, aud New Hampshire,
equite quantity have been bought up.
The exports this year will be light
& Commission merchants say the year has
been especially good for pears and
quinces.-Buffalo Express.

s1ackcre1 WIN nc Cheaper.

Housekeepers Will be glad to learn
that nackerel, salt or fresh, which for
the last few years has been an expensive
article of food, and which is a most ap-
petizing and desired one as well, will
shortly be perceptibly cheaper. Mack
ercl it seems begin to run in onr waters
about the middle of April, at first np-
pearing in immense numbers. but small
size. For years the fishermen gathered
them i'll at the earliest possible moment,
thereby preventing them from reaching
good growth, and wasting thousands
of small fish that We're almost worthless
on the market
To prevent this IL law was passed pro-
hibiting the catching Of mackerel until
the lst of June, by which time good
that date they have become scarce in
this vicinity, the price became corre-
spondingly high. Next April the five
year embargo expires, and we will have
abundant and cheap mackerel until the
fishermen again overreach themselves.
a fish dealer said recently: .It was
wicked the way these fish We're wasted:
for twenty-five cents, a few years ago.
You could come into my shop and buy u
half peck Of lnackerel. small and big. as
they came. Then they grew SO scarce
that about the time the law Went into
effect a single plump fish brought one
dollar sometimes. There is talk now of
passing Il law to prevent the sale of the
small CLANS. which have increased in
price from six dollars per barrel whole
sale to thirteen dollars on account of
their reckless use. That will make the
Little Necks an expensive luxury for
awhile, but it will save the breed. New

a Dnnrrrons Fly l:itc.

To be threatened with death from the
bite Of an ordinary house fly is a strange
thing, but recently Joseph Swain was i'll
danger of losing his life from that cause.
Mr.. Swain had a slight abrasion on the
skin of his left hand. 1t was very sim
pie injury, not being severe enough to
break the outer cuticle. On Saturday,
while seated i'll his house, he felt Il
sharp, singing sensation on the injured
spot. A fly was biting him, and he had
to shake his hand several times to drive
him away. Immediately Mr.. Swain felt
pain i'll his hand and the hand began to
swell. BY evening the swelling and the
pain had extended to the wrist. and the
next morning. when DIR. Pevton was
called in, the whole arm as far as the
elbow had assumed abnormal proper
tions. The patient was suffering excr,,-
ciating pain, and he had passed a night
of agony.
Everything indicated blood poisoning,
and the physician regarded it rs "a se1i-
Gus case. The doctor is of the opinion
that there is a new species Of fly about
here, the bite of which is poisonous.
They resemble the house fly in every
way, excepting that they are smaller and
blacker.
The most probable theory is that the
fly injected into Mr.. SWANS arm some
poisonous substance drained from some
thing upon which the fly had been feed
ing.-Stockson (Cal. Mail.

A diver named Jones. residing in Car
diff, was engaged yesterday in attempt
ing to raise the steamship Accrington,
which was bcachcd at Penarth some
time since after being in collision. She
had several holes III her side. which had
been plugged while the vessel was;
pumped ont. Jones accidentally pushed
in one of these plugs with his right
hand, and the suction of the water be.
came SO great that his arm was drawn
into the hole to the shoulder, and he
could not withdraw it.
A message was teleSraphed to Cardiff
docks for another diver. Nearly two
hours elapsed before he reached Penarth
with his diving apparatus, and in this
time Jones had become so exhausted
that he was found hanging by the YES
sells side on his arm. When rescued,
which took some time, he was so ex-
hausted that lie had to be lifted on board

KANSAS CHURCHES.

The Methodist Protestant church has
now two churches in Kansas City; Kan
Bas, the Stewart Avenue Methodist Prot
estant church, Rev. J. S. Davis, pastor,
and the Peoples church, Rev. DR.. A. II.
Tevis, pastor.
The determination of the general
conference of the Methodist Protestant
church, in session at Baltimore, to es-
tablish large university in Kansas City,
Kan, has awakened a feeling of enthu-
siasm throughout the city.
Lindsborg.-At the great Swedish
Lutheran convention here the home and
foreign mission work was taken up. A
| ladies' home and foreign mission society
was formed, with Miss Evold of Chicago
as president, and Mrs. Eustace of Min
neapolis, Mimi, secretary. Twenty-Five
| young ministers were ordained and as
signed to churches. Rev. Prof. Olsen,
president of the Rock Island, ILL.,, sem
mary, preached the ordination sermon.
Wellington Mail: The members OF
the Lutheran church will hold 4 union
service with the members of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church next Sun
day morning at the usual hour. After
the conclusion of the services the Lu-
theran folks will hold a meeting for the
purpose of considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of rebuilding, but not on the present
location. AS the majority of the mem
bers reside in the east part of the city,
it is quite likely that their new edifice,
should they build one, will b. located in
the second ward.
Topeka Capital: A large audience of
non-ehurch members responded to Ma
ior Coles invitation and filed the First
Congregational church Sunday evening.
Many of them are rarely seen at church
services. The meeting was one Of pc
culiar interest. The Major had never
before in his life experience as an evan
gelist called such a meeting together,
and he spoke with great tenderness and
power. Slips were circulated through
the congregation and thousands wrote
anonymously upon them the reasons
which prevented them from being Chris
tians. 1t was interesting reading and
furnished the major with suggestive
texts for what he had to say. He told
the candidates why he was a Christian,
how it came about and of his deliver
Gnce from the appetite Of liquor which
at one time had control of him. He
was listened to with attention and deep
interest and at the close of the service
between thirty and forty expressed the
desire to become Christians. Most of
them went to the inquiry room, and
tyenty-three professed conversion.
