The Gentle Art of Charming.

A man says that woman to be clever

DRY. She must keep in mind so much
as she knows of the tastes and prejudices
of those present. If So-and-sos brother
fought in the Egyptian war, if such n
one has Scotch ancestry, if such another
had dear friend or an aunt or some
body who went on the stage, if such an
other has written n poem ON Mortality
and has opinions on immortality and so
on, of each and all she must remember.
And Gas you said the other day" is a
good way to introduce a pungent re-
mark; or, Gas your favorite author has
it," which shows fattering regard for
ones preferences. All these tricks, il
you call them so, must be studied. Don't
try to make man think how clever you
are. Make him think how clever he is.
Brighten him up. Lead him on to say
witty things.
You may even coax him up to a joke,
be he as glum as Pharaohs ghost. Re-
mind him of clever things he said "the
other day" Never mind if they are in
ventions of your own. Never mind if he
knows they are. So long as he does not
imagine that you know they are, you are
all right. Tell bright things about him.
1t won't take long to make him feel, es.
pecially if he is a really dull fellow, that
he is lot smarter than even he thought
himself, and he will correspondingly
adore you. A man is apt to frizzle un-
der the fire of your own humor and wit
and brightness, and of course a man is
never comfortable when he frizzles.-

Hiring Hand Organs.

The music of the great Italian com
poser, Verdi, enjoys a high degree OF
popularity. One form which its popu-
larity takes is its frequent application to
hand organs and piano organs, which
grind upon Verdi's music until the COM
poser himself is almost compelled to re-
greet that he ever wrote it.
One summer not many years ago Verdi
went for season of rest to the noun
tain resort of Montecaliere. Here a
friend called upon him and noticed be-
fore he entered that Verdi had taken a
rather pretentious apartment.
But when he entered the house he was
astonished to find that the composer was
using single room of the ''fat" as sit
ting room, dining room and bedroom.
The visitors looks expressed his sur
prise at this arrangement.
''Oh," said Verdi, 81 have two more
large rooms here, but they are just now
occupied with some objects which have
hired for the season"
He opened the doors of these rooms
and revealed to the visitor great pile
of hand organs apparently 100 of them
at least.
"These organs" said Verdi, contain
in their repositories music of my own.
wanted rest here, but when l arrived it
seemed as if all the hand organs in Italy
had come before me. They came under
my windows in the morning and played
a hideous cacophony of 'Rigoletto,' 'Tro-
vatore' and 'Traviata.' SO | hired all
these organs for the season, and all that
were likely to find their way here, and
here l have them all nicely piled up.
Oh, can take some rest nowr'-Y outh's

pecn,iar Method OF Fishing.

AtTetulia, one of the islands of Ocean
lea. M. Avlic Marin witnessed a peculiar
method of fishing. The scene, as he de-
cribes it, is picturesque and interesting.
The costume of the natives of Tetulia is
a kind of short tunic of seaweed or leaves.
They powder the hair white with chalk
and wear wreaths of gardenias or red
hibiscus on their heads and around their
necks. The warriors, unlike the men of
peace, powder their hair red. AS their
locks are very long they have quite a
terrible appearance.
At signal all the inhabitants of the
village assembled on the seashore. There
were about 200 persons. They plunged
into the water. each carrying branch of
the cocoa palm.
At a given distance from the shore they
turned toward it and formed compact
half circle, each one holding his palm
branch perpendicularly in the water,
thus forming a kind of seine. The leader
of the party gave Il signal, and this living
net approached the shore gradually, in
perfect order, driving before it q multi
tude of fishes. Surrounded by this living
wall and caught in the cocoa palm
branches, many of the fishes were cast ON
the sand by the waves, and others were
killed with sticks.
The women gathered up the fishes in
baskets. Some were at once taken to the
cabin of the chief of the village, and some
were cooked for M. Marin over hot Goals
and given to him without seasoning, but
with bananas and cocoanut milk to com
plete the meal. Youths Companion.

Wrinkle For Husbands.

The young wife of an engineer resid-
ing near the Thiergarten had gone to
spend the Easter holidays with hermoth-
er in Magdeburg and appeared so well
satisfied with the change that she pro-
longed her stay, notwithstanding the
pathetic appeals of her lonesome hus-
band. At last our involuntary grass
widower devised an original plan for in
ducing his little wife to return 10 her
hearth and home. He got a friend Of his
who kept a camera to take photo of his
house and send it to his wife, with let
ter stating that her intense longing for
home would no doubt be somewhat miti-
gated when she saw that the old place
remained as she had left it and that she
could now stay with her mamma as long
as she liked.
The very next train brought my lady
unannounced, greatly excited and ac-
companied by her mother. Whence this
sudden apparition? The photo in ques-
ton represented our engineer standing
in front of the house and engaged in a
lively conversation with the young lady
next door, whose laughing features We're
distinctly portrayed in the picture. Ex-
plantations followed to the effect that the
whole affair was a joke. but madam did
not quite see it and staid at home instead
of going back to Magdeburg with her
mamma.-Berliner Tageblatt.

Popularity of New Medicines.

From time to time some form of treat
ment for disease or some medicine be-
comes suddenly popular. Physicians of
repute give their testimony and record
their belief in the new specific, and the
patients who have been benefited mani
fest that strange enthusiasm to get 9th
ers into trying their remedy which is SO
marked a characteristic of the average
man and woman. The newspapers find
out the latest craze, and reporters be-
come learned in many long words tech
nically descriptive of various parts of
the body or of the action on these of the
new treatment.
For time he who reads or listens to
the talk of hers would believe that the
elixir has been found at last-that elixir
of which Pythagoras dreamed and which
Lord Bacon thought might exist, the
wonderful cure all which is to vanquish
every disease-and then, within six
months, a year, two years at most, the
new remedy has been forgotten or has
sunk into modest place in the pharma-
copoeia, and the new treatment is old
and of small respect. The part which
medical men play in putting these fads
into prominence and repute is most
important one. Without their counte-
nance and Endorsement nothing could be
done. That they so countenance and in
dorse them may be attributed to several
causes, some inherent in medical science,
others rejecting the highest praise ON the
physicians themselves, and then, again,
others which may only be condemned

LEARNING FROM US,
England and Germany Send Commissions
to Learn How We Do Things.

to Learn How We Do Things.
A commission was sent from England
to this country about six weeks ago for
the purpose of examining the American
system of public education in order to
ascertain if there be any of it's features
that can be advantageOusly adopted in
England or IAN be incorporatedin q new
school bill which is in course of prepara-
ton for introduction to parliament. All
of the five members of the commission
are ladies, and all are teachers in London
schools To each of them has been as
signed a prescribed district in this coun-
try. and the one of them OH service in
and near this city has performed her duty
thoroughly and has gathered large
amount of useful information, knowl-
edge of kind that cannot be obtained
from school reports or from books about
our system of popular education. The
commissioners are women of experience
and of singular capacity for the duties
intrusted to them. We trust that their
labors here will inure to the advantage
of their country and aid in the deamorti-
cation of its schools.
1t seems that Germany as well as
England is willing to learn something
from this country. The German gov
eminent has appointed a commission of
military engineers to examine the rail
road system of the United States and
make report upon it. They are to study
the agencies of direction, the mechanism
in use and the methods of transporta-
ton, with especial view to the obtaining
of suggestions that may be useful to
Germany in the event of war. We sup
pose that all persons who have Travelled
extensively over the railroads of Ger
many and have observed the way of
conducting railroad business there must
be assured that the commission can OBJ
tain a number of useful hints here. The
commissioners upon their arrival in this
country will doubtless endeavor to make
the acquaintance of DR.. Chauncey NJ.
Depew, who is entirely familiar with all
the details of railroading and with the
methods of transporting both men and
freight for long distances or for short.
DR.. Depew is now jaunting out west,
where he is charming the interviewers,
but we are sure that he will take time in
any month of the year to render service
to the German military engineers sent
here to devise ways by which the rail
road methods of Germany may be i'm
proved.
We are happy that our country is able
to give valuable suggestions both to
England and Germany. The English
system of popular education is not as
orderly as our system. The German ad-
ministration of railroads may be made
more efficient than it is by the adoption
of some of the novelties that are of use
here.-New York Sun.

The Cowboy of the Past.

The cowboys of picture and story ex-
listed in the brilliant days. At first they
had come from Texas, but in the zenith
of their romantic glory they came from
everywhere and from every class. They
included young Englishmen, college
graduates from the east, well born Amer
icans-all sorts who did not ''strike luck
at anything else and who were full of
vim and love of adventure. They got $40
a month and good keep during the great
er part of each year. They rode good
horses that had as much of the devil in
them as the "boys" themselves. They
bought hand stamped Cheyenne saddles
and California bits that were as ornate
as jewelry and stuck their feet in grand
tapaderos, or hooded stirrups, richly or
namented, padded with lambs wool, and
each as big as a fire hat. Their spurs
were fit for grandees, their ropes" or
lariats, were selected with more care
than a circus tightrOpe, and their big
broad felt sombreros cost more than the
Prince of Wales ever paid for a pot hat.
And then, alas! the cowmen began to
economic in men, food, wageS-every-
thing. The best of the old kind of cow
boys, who had not become owners or
foremen, saloon keepers or gamblers or
had not been shot, drifted away. Some
of the smartest among them became
''rustlers"-those cattle thieves whose
depredations resulted in what almost
came to be war in Wyoming. They in
sisted that they had to do it to live

What Poets Need.

A whimsical letter written by W. S.
Gilbert notes "a great want" among
poets. 81 should like to suggest" he
says, ''that any inventor who is in need
of name for his invention would confer
a boon ON all rhymesters and at the same
time insure himself many gratuitous adj
vertisements if he were to select a word
that rhymes to one of the many words
in common use that have very few
rhymes or none at all. A few more words
3hyming to love are greatly wanted.
Revenge and 'avenge' have no rhyme
but 'Penge' and 'Stonehenge.' Golf has
no rhyme at all. 'Starve' has no rhyme
except Ooh, ironyD carve Scarf has
no rhyme, though l fully expect to be
told that laugh calf and half are ad-
missible, which they certainly are not. "
