Cases Of meanness are not numerous
among the animals. A surprising one is
the innocent dove, which sometimes
hides under her wings food for which
she has no need simply 20 deprive her
companions. The sense of property Is
manifested IN thecompetition for prizes
as IN the struggle for the female or for
food, rank territory or nests. The dog

ly angry-as men usually are when they
90 on such errands. He had called upon
a debtor and asked him politely for the
payment of a bill Of $2.5 and had been
abused for his pains. Now he wanted
the lawyer to collect it.
The lawyer demurred. The amount
was too trifing. 1t would cost the whole
of it to collect it.

care if l don't get a cent. so long as that
fellow has to pay it."
So the lawyer wrote the debtor a let

in high dudgeon. He didn't owe any
$3.50, and he wouldn't pay it.

Spirit rapping vocation for women in
Japan requires little apparatus. Rap
ping is perhaps not the correct word, for
there is really no trapping at all--the
clients are simply put i'll communication
with any spirit with whom they desire to
speak. 1t is not necessary that the spirit
should be that Of a dead person, but the
medium always inquiries whether the
spirit whose presence is desired is living
or dead.
The mediums always carry about with
them a mysterious wooden box, about a
foot or less square. Like the medicine
bag Of the Indian medicine man, its con-
tents are a secret to members of the
same profession. These women usually
have a bow of soft wood strung with a
single string, and this they twang on
the edge of the box like Il caricature of
violin playing.
If the spirit required is that of a dead
person, Il leaf plucked from a graveyard
is used to splash some water out Of a
small cup that stands in front Of the
medium. If the person is living, Il sim
liar ceremony is performed with a piece
of stick instead Of Il leaf. Then follow.
an incantation, and the spirit proceeds
TO speak through the medium. The
medium charges sometimes as high as l.
or 20 ccnts.-San Francisco Call.

Every one who is not Il s~choolm&ster is
aware that Il young Englishman knows
almost nothing of the literature OF his
own land. and what little he does know
he dislikes. because he has had at school
to translate it into Latin. 1t is most hui
initiating to hear an American youth
discourse upon this matter while our
own SONS sit mum and glum. Efforts
have been made of late to find out what
our boys do read for their own pleasure,
and the result Of these inquiries seems to
be that they read the accounts of prize
fights.
One headmaster tries to prove that
this is derived from the influence Of
Homer. but it is much more likely that
it comes from a pcrusal Of the sporting
newspapers and the general devotion to
athletics. From whatever cause it arises.
it is certainly true that while there Is no
deficiency Of good poetry and good iic-
ton among us the rising generation
cares for neither. London illustrated

The Captains Sight.

/: is sometimes a fault Of young peo-
pie 20 rely too fully upon their own opin-
ions or impressions, and there are grown
people who are quite too sure regarding
matters to which they have given little
attention. a passenger on a French
steamer tells this story:
The wind was fresh. and we were run
ming at the rate of 12 knots an hour.
Our mariners werc deceived in their cal
culations, and as the lead did not indi-
cate the proximity Of the coast they were
expected to approach they concluded
that the currents had carried us into the
channel. One morning ut break Of day
| heard the captain eXclalm:
II see breakers through the mist"
NJ. de rAiguille, an officer of superior
merit, who nevertheless displayed some
times too much of the confidence Of
youth, replied with IL smile, These
breakers, captain. are nowhere bat in

which our feet would inevitably have

An Electric Elevated Road In England.
No misgivings need apply to the case
of the new railway at Liverpool. lnsize
and power, as we'll as in the ingenuity of
its details, it surpasses the best American
models. 1t extends along the quays of
the great line Of docks on the Mersey for
nearly seven miles. Its carriages are of
full size. not arranged like a tram car,
but like the ordinary passenger car Of
the United States, each being in two
compartments and capable of seating 81
persons. Beneath each car is an electric
motor of from 100 to 20 horsepower, and
the speed will be as high as 80 miles an
hour.
The power to work the trains. and
with them the accessories of sign:iS and
light. is the same, and generated from Il
single point on the system. Tho whole
runs upon an overhead railroad or ON
tinuous bridge OF iron. That is not. how
ever, of the essence of an electric railway.
though the lightness of electric rolling
gear makes such an arrangement cheap
and suitable for the purpose. London

When q Mans Advice Was Good.

lie VINO q mucn OcCdS'On W De dDrOdQ
on the day when the snow, rain and
wind made merry with the population
of this town saw some queer sights and
heard some queer things. One of the
worst crossings in the lower part of the
city was 1T the intersection of Broadway
and FULTON street, where the slush and
snow formed IN eSpanse of something
which told nothing Of the depth Of the
mixture. Here and there was II hum
mock which might furnish solid footing,
but probably wouldn't. A young man,
essaying the crossing, stopped half way
between the curbs, and deciding that tho
rest of the ford was impossible turned
back. AS he did SO he ran into an eld-
erly woman who was close behind him.
BEG pardon, madam" said he, but
you'd better not try it."
The lady gave her skirts an extra
twitch and glared at the youth.
Il want you to know" she responded,
that | never needed a mans advice.
and | don't need it now. Lemme by"
The young man jumped to n side,
and she who would not be befriended
went ahead. There was a splash, n half
smothered cry, a wild scramble, and she
stood on the sidewalk. But the slush
had gone above the tops of her stout
walking shoes. Grimly she looked back
at her adviser, and the wind brought her
remark to his ears:
Il never took a mans advice, but l
wish | had that time" she said.-New
