The Captains Sight.

It is sometimes q fault Of young peo.
pie to rely too fully upon their own optn.
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 French
steamer tells this story:
The wind was fresh, and we were run
ming ut the rate of 10 knots an hour.
Our mariners were 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 at break of day
heard the captain exclaim:
81 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 a smile, "Those
breakers. captain, are nowhere but in
your glass"
"Young man." said our old captain
with tone of anger, "you are major
general to the squadron and may give il
the orders you think proper, but know
what have to do. 1t is I who answef
for the safety of my ship. shall there
fore give orders to tack, for there is no.
moment to be lost"
He accordingly gave that order, and
during its execution, the fog having sud
denly cleared away, we perceived al
about 200 yards from us the rocks against
which our feet would inevitably have
peri d. Fortunately the whole squad
ron initiated the movement of our yes
sci, and all danger was over.
The young officer lost no time in THANK
ing the captain for his wise reproof, an6
for his adherence to the duties Of his Pc
sition.-Yo Companion.

opinion chiefly upon an analysis Of q

WEALTH HERE AND ABROAD.


DttNS0M
America and In Europe.
The English and the Americans are
both rich, but which are the ficher7
Perhaps the statisticians know or can
find cut, but it is not certain that the
statistical answer would give the infor-
nation that one really wants and which
involves the distribution of wealth as
we'll as its mere existence. Most Amer
leans have to work; but, as is well
known, considerable proportion Of
English people toll not nor spin, and
make no pretense of doing anything tor
living. Is that because the English
are richer than we, or is it matter Of
taste or result Of primogeniture2 So
also it appears-from close study of
documents submitted by Anthony Troll
lope and other contemporaneous histo-
rians-that British gentlemen in re-
spectacle circumstances employ from
five to fifty servants and have several
houses apiece, all of which they live in,
and travel much besides. An Ameri-
can who lives in that way is looked
upon as a man of very exceptional re-
sources, but it would seem that an Eng
hsh gentleman who does not live in that
way is thought to be somewhat strait
ened. In England there are 500 or 400
hunt clubs, and something like 30, 900
Britishers ride pretty regularly to
hounds. But hunting is an expensive
sport that takes both time and money.
These English seem to have both to
spare
A returned traveller was speaking of
the shoals Of agreeable English people
he met in the Riviera and in all the
play places of southern Europe. WheS
asked if they were rich people, he said
not, but that they were able to live as
they did because they knew how and
got their moneys worth. He thought,
too, that the well to do English had q
more complete domestic apparatus ready
to hand than most Americans and
could spend larger proportion of their
incomes on travel and amusement.
Houses and furniture and such expen-
sive vanities they had already by in
heritance and were not compelled TO
spend useful money In providing them.

they supersede? They must have great
deal of money to spend, those enterpris-
ing islanders. No one would hesitate
to say that the Americans are richer
than the Russians, or the Italians, or
the Germans, or even the thrifty French,
but the Briton gives us pause. Is he

The invention Of playing cards has
been attributed to the Chinese, Hindoos,
Arabians and Romans, but cards as
now used were invented by Jacques
Gringonneur, painter, in Paris in the
fourteenth century. They were sup
posed to have been first made for the
amusement of Charles vi Of France,
who was deranged. The French had
particular names for the 10 court cards.
The four kings were David, Alexander,
Caesar and Charles; the four queens,
Angine, Esther, Judith and Pallas; the
four knaves or knights, Ogier the Dane,
Lancelot, La Hire and Hector de Gar
land. Cards seem originally, however,
to have been taken to England direct
from Spain, having probably been In
troduced into that country by the Moors;
the clubs, in Spanish cards, not being
trefoils as with us, but cudgels-that is,
bastos-the spades or swords, sspadas.
They were at first stamped from wood
blocks in outline and filled in by hand,
but after the invention Of engraving the
best artists engraved them on copper
and struck them off at once. Column
Dimes were spades; rabbits, clubs; pinks,
diamonds, and roses. hearts. Human
figures opposed to those of flowers and
animals were the ancestors of court
cards. Eagle.

An Electric Elevated Road In England

No misgivings need apply to the case
of the new railway at Liverpool. Insize
and power, as well 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 fo1
nearly seven miles. Its carriages are of
full size, not arranged like 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 10 horsepower, and
the speed will be as high as 30 miles an
hour
The power to work the trains, and
with them the accessories of signals and
light, is the same, and generated from a
single point on the system. The whole
runs upon an overhead railroad" or con-
tinuous bridge of iron. That is not, how
ever, of the essence of an electric railway,
though the Eghtness of electric rolling
gear makes such an arrangement cheap
and suitable for the purpose.-London

An English Boys Knowledge of Literatur.

an English Boys knowledge of Literature
Every one who is not schoolmaster is
aware hat 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 perusal of the sporting
newspapers and the general devotion to
athletics. From whatever cause it arises,
t is certainly true that while there is NO
efficiency of good poetry and good fc-
