Noah and the Flood,

There is department of the Sunday
school connected with one of the
churches in New York city in which
Chinese are taught. Among others
there is one, Sam Sing by name, who
has attended regularly for IA couple of
years. He is quite a bright fellow and
has good memory On Il recent Sun
day that portion of Genesis relating to
the floor was given out as the lesson
for the day. After explaining the pas
sage very fully to Sam Sing, his teach
er requested him to tell the story in
his own words. This the Chinaman
proceeded to do, and his teacher took
it down in shorthand, verbatim, as it
fell from his pupils lips. Sam Sings
version was as follows:
Noe he good man, and got three
son, and son got wife, and Noe wife,
that mean eight, eight good man. He
God know him good and God tell him
to make boat and him, Noe, wife and
whole family go in de boat and get
some meal, and fruit, and all fruit all
kind good for eat, and put all samec
cattle, and horse, chicken, all same
kind of life, all put it in there.
Then, bime-by soon, the flood come,
and has all people die, and just as say
rain forty day and forty night, and
then say to Noe, whole family and all,
live. All bad people all die, every one,
cut him up. The rain come because
Noe he good man, and he God wanted
save Noe, whole family, and wicked
people, every kill him die; rain hard

The Care of Providence.

When Whitelock, CromwelIs embas-
Sador, was on his way to Sweden in
1868, he was greatly troubled in mind
as he thought of the distracted state
of the nation, so much so that when he
stopped over night at Warwick he
could not rest, but walked the room in
his agitation far into the midnight
hours. His confidential servant, who
had a couch in his room, finding that
his master could not sleep, at length
said, pray, sir, will you give me leave
to ask you question: Certainly"
was the reply. well, sir, don't you
think that God governed the world
very well before you ever came into
it?" Certainly" was again the an
swer. "And pray, sir, don't you think
he will still govern it quite as well long
after you have gone out of it," Ser
tainly," was again the reply. Then,
sir, pray excuse me, but don't you
think you may trust him to govern it
quite as well while you live?" To this
question Whitelock, as if struck by
new idea, had nothing to say, but turn.
ing himself to his bed, was soon in a
sound sleep in which he remained till
he was Weakened in the morning to en-
bark on the vessel that bore him to
Sweden.

Do DOGS UndcrStand 2

TO a boy ON familiar talking terms
with dog this question may not sound
absurd; but there are many learned
men who maintain that, while dogs
often understand our meaning. it is
not our words, but our tones, looks and
gestures that they comprehend
But almost every child who loves a
dog could bring some story to contra
dict this theory.
Here is true story on the subject
that will please all tony masters of
bright dogs:
A traveller in Portugal purchased Il
native dog, which soon became much
attached to him. When spoken to in
English, even accompanied by the most
expressive looks and gestures the mas
ter could command, the dog appeared
puzzled, and he seldom found out what
was required of him. But when his
master addressed him in Portuguese
badly as his master spoke 1.-THE dog
joyfully executed his wishes.
After a time, by repeating the words
alternately in Portuguese and in Eng
lish. the dog learned the latter as we'll
as the former, and would obey readily.
But the same command given in
French reduced him to a state of de-
Spair again.
Afterwards the dog was carried to
France. After residing there some
time he became so familiar with the
language that he understood directions
given to him, though-perhaps because
he had grown older and Il new Ian
guage was harder to acquire-hc never
responded quite so readily as to COM
mands in Portuguese and English

WHAT MIGHT SEEM A RIOT.
Often is Only Russian or Polish jews Dis
cussine the Rabbits Last Sermon


1.-THE Russian and Polish Jews are
often accused by the police, through
ignorance of their character and Ian
guage, of getting into rows" said an
intelligent east side rabbi. 1T is the
nature of this sort of Jew to be de
mOnstrative and noisy. These attri-
butes have been recognized to some eX-
tent by the caricaturists, who have eX-
plotted them in humorous sketches and
Illustrations, but they can only be fully
understood by the student who appre-
ciateS the characters of these people.
l have frequently seen groups of them
at meetings, social gatherings, in the
SynagogueS and on the streets, who
would be supposed to be quarrelling
angrily, when, as a matter of fact, they
were most peaceably disposed. Physi-
cal and mental nervousness are large
ly responsible for the violence of their
actions and the loudness of their con-
versation. Life in the ghettos has af
fected their nervous systems particu-
larly, and the slightest excitement
arouSeS them.
Both the Russians and Poles are fond
of religious discussions, and it is not
unusual to see them splitting fine hairs
in dispute as to the meaning of some
Talmudical sentence. They love an
argument and a difference between
two of them on the street as to the diff
ference to be drawn from the chief
rabbits latest sermon is sure to attract
a crowd The latter will surely take
sides, and the result will be pushing,
wrangling, excited mob, which the po-
lice may think Is rioting. Such a scene
Is exactly like those that were of daily
occurrence in ancient Jerusalem, and
even in Alexandria, after the Jews
were brought there by Ptolemy, one of
Alexander's generals. New York Sun.

ENGLISH LIABLE MANNERS.
Some Rules That Prevail Among Well


SUING NuleS InaG freVati Among ven
Bred Folks.
No English gentleman would ever
put his arms upon the table before a
meal or during its progress. A jovial
raconteur once told me how he was
broken of the habit, not an uncommon
one in this country. Having in mo-
ment of forgetfulness allowed his ell
bow to rest upon the table, he was
startled by hearing the master in
charge call "Parkins, bring a plate for
ing brought, the unfortunate youngSter
had to put his elbow on it and keep it
there throughout the meal.
No English lady would touch any
thing but her napkin until every one
had been served and a gentleman
would as soon don a pinafore or bib
as tuck his ''serviette' inside his shirt
collar or spread it across his shirt
front. A child who places his bread
on the wrong side of his plate, breaks
it off with both hands, or buffers it in
mouthfuls, is sharply reproved and
watched until the habit is broken. Nor
would he be allowed to smear his meat
with mustard or arrange it as a sand
witch, both of which offenses may be
witnessed any day at our tirst-class
hotels, committed by people otherwise
well bred
Children are promptly reprimanded
if seen to crook their elbows in rails
ing soup to the mouth, and sampling
tea or coffee with a spoon is some
thing never done outside the servants
hall. There is Il rigid code for the
manipulation of fork and spoon. 1t is
much-disputed point in this country
as to the transference or the fork to
the right hand for any purpose what
ever; but once accuStom yourself to
the English method-that of never
making such a tranSfer-and our Amer
lean fashion seems awkward and in
defcnsible. The utmost precision is
observed in leaving knife and fork up
on the plate when the meal is finished.
They must be laid little to one side,
the fork in the position in which it
would be used-that is to say, with the
tines down. 1t is a tritle, but it illus
trates the careful attention paid by the
English to table etiquette
When boiled eggs are served the shell
is not picked off, much less is the egg
turned out into a glass or cup. The
top is cut by a blow from sharp
knife, and when one is done eating the
shell is reversed in the egg cup so that
it may not offend by its untidy appear
ancc.
The invariable rule of the hostess
bowling to the lady guest as signal
to rise from the table may be conSid-
cred formal in everyday life. but it is
good form, and one to which it is easy
to become accustomed. New York
Times.

The Energy of Children

There is sometimes an element of
fierceness in the energy of children.
They are not only lively and active
and noisy, but they are aggressively so.
They are not satisfied without constant
attention and sympathy. The elders
must look at that, know this and
praise the other; and their placidity
being continually stirred, the elders get
weary of schooling their souls to pa
tience.
This aggressive energy is a terrible
strain on rasped nerves and tired body.
1t is in such moments of stress of spirit
that the mother makes the hasty, i'm
patient speech, and then, with self-re
proach, does for the child tenfold more
than she ought, to punish herself for
the brief sin.
1t is true, however some may exclaim
against it, that all mothers do not
merge their whole being in mother
hood. Sometimes the spirit is willing,
but the flesh is weak, and sometimes
the spirit itself rebels
A woman who was the mother of
twelve children brought up her sons
and daughters to honor and love her
She was a model wife, friend and
neghbor. Years after her boys and
girls had grown up and We're scat
tered she confessed, Il did used to get
dreadfully tired of my childrenr' She
was a faithful mother in spite of the
feeling, perhaps better because of her
perception of it, but she was a woman
first, and it was hard to forget that
Jobs comforters" come around, say
ing: Think how badly you would feel
if you lost them! Think how you will
regret the trouble when they are grown
up solemn men and women." All that
is true enough, though, like some other
truths, no present relief. But when the
intliction is worst it might afford a
little help to consider what q wonder
full mercy it is that children do have
such an abundant stock of aggressive
energy to start with! What a help it
is in the chances and changes of this
troublesome life! 1t is the energetic,
enthusiastic man who keeps a bold
front and a steadfast soul in the
worlds battlefelds. 1t is the ener-
