Ramed tho Lingulsts.

The late Prof. Stephen j. Young, of
Bowdoin, was an accomplished linguist.
One day he was on train bound for
Bangor to Brunswick, Me-, when the
conductor who knew him entered his
car to ask him to come out to the sec
ond-class coach to try and find out
where a certain stupid foreigner was
going. The conductor had attacked
him in all the foreign lingo he could
master, and could get no other response
than q stupid stare. Prof. Young went
back to the rear of the train. The pas
senger sat there looking very much
disturbed and bewildered. The pro-
fessor went at him in Canadian French,
then in German, then in the languages
of Scandinavia, Egypt, Italy, Spain
and every other country on the face of
this green earth. Still the passenger
sat "mum as an owl" while the look of
bewilderment deepened on his face.
The professor was nonplused, and was
turning in defeat to his own car when
the man looked wearily out of the win
dow and remarked sadly to himself:
''By gosh, wish was ter hum" He
was an Aroostook Yankee and he could
speak nothing but English.-Chicago

ANIMAL VISION.
Evidences That Discrimination in Colors
Ia Lacking.

Is LachiuSs
There is little positive evidence that
the larger quadrupeds, oxen, deer, the
felidae, or dogs, have much sense of
color; and their power of vision in its
wider sense varies so greatly in differ
ent species as to suggest that the mem
tai factor in sight is often so little ex-
erted for the main purpose of discern
ing objects as to leave its more special
lied use for distinguishing color very
imperfectly developed. Domestic ami
mails which see bright colors other
than green in large masses more fre-
quently than wild ones, might be sup
posed to exhibit the consciousness of
such differences in the most pro-
nounced way. Yet it is next to impos-
sible to cite an instance in which a dog
exhibits curiosity as to color, or iden-
titles an object by its hue.
The writer has seen a setter refuse
to retrieve black rabbit because it
apparently thought its master had
shot black cat. But house-living
dog shows no preference for red car
pet or rug over a blue or variegated
one, and expresses no surprise or Curl
osity whether its master wears red
uniform or black evening suit. Do
mestic cattle are so far affected by vio-
lent contrast of white and dark that
the presence of black, white or very
clearly spotted animal in the herd
sometimes results in calves being
thrown of the same color or markings.
But though red is said to irritate bull,
and to excite hunters by association of
ideas, the latter statement rests partly
on surmise. They are equally excited
by the sound or sight of hounds, or of
q number of riders, whatever the color
of their coats None of tie cats,
whether wild or tame, shows any par
tiality for bright hues; and among all
the stratagems used from time imme-
mortal by hunters, the use of color as
lure for quadrupeds is notably alb
sent.-London Spectator.

ALASKAN MISSIONARIES.
Their Lives Full of Dangers, Suf-
ferings and Hardships.
Trying Experiences of the Bearer of
the Gospel Message 60 the
Tanana Indians In
the Interior.

Many volumes could be written
about the dangers sufferings and
hardshlps of Christian missionaries.
Sometimes the hariships are more
difficult to bear than the dangers. 1t
is thrilling and inspiring to be always
ready for martyrdom; but to suffer
steadily from bitter hardships. with
out the spice of danger rom huran
enemies, is harder, ami quite as de-
serving of the crown of reward
The missionary in the remoter parts
of Alaska knows what these hardshiDs
are. Mr.. Provost, missionary to the
Tanana Indians, has perhaps the larg-
est missionary parish" in the world.
1t covers more than one hundred thou
sand square miles; and Mr. Provost
has Travelled, with dogs and sledges,
fifteen hundred miles on one tri3 to
preach the Gospel.
With dogs and sledges, we say: but
this does not mean that the missionary
rode. He ran behind the sledge, for
the dogs had enough to do to draw The

Like the apostle, this missionary
might truly say that he had not run in
vain, for the Indians give proof of hav-
ing heard him, attentively On one
occasion a party of Tahana Indians
travelled more than three hundred
miles with sleds and dogs, in order to
bring to the mission station at Fort
Adams the dead bodies of woman and
child, that they might receive Chris
tian burial. Other Indians have Jour-
neyed four hundred miles in order to
receive religious instruction from MIR.
Provost.
This missionary has induced these
boreal Indians to build houses and
adopt some of the ways of civilized
life. He has printing press, sets his
own type, and issues q newspaper
twice year. This is twice as often as
he receives any news from the outside
world. He did not hear of the last
presidential nominations until eleven
months after they had taken place.
Although the missionary welcomes
hardships, he is not averse to using the
resources of civilization in the propa-
cation of the Gospel. There are two
thousand miles OF navigable water, in
summer, in the Yukon river, in his
parish" ana he has hopes of obtain
ing an electric launch which will en-
able him to make more rapid journeys

POLICEMEN IN SPAIN.
They Have Divers Duties Best des Catch
ing Criminals.

ing Criminals.
The little towns and smaller cities
of Spain have very effective system
of night police. These Spanish public
watchmen are clad in long black
cloaks and wear on their heads each a
black and red cap. In one hand is a
lantern with colored glass, in the
other kind of lance
"Sereno" is the name this policeman
goes under, and he gets the title from
the cry he is obliged to utter at every
few steps: "Sereno!" which means
fine. The phrase refers to the state of
the weather. If the weather is cloudy,
he would call out: "Nublado;" if it is
rainy: "Lluviendo." Under the blue
sky of Spain, however, it is generally
"sereno."
An extract from the municipal regu-
lations of Spanish town details the
duties of the serene in this wise: 'IIe
must perform certain number OF
rounds in all the streets, lanes, pas
sages and alleys on his beat, and call
out in loud voice the time and the
weather as he goes along. He must
lend assistance to citizens who request
his help for any reasonable cause, and
go for the doctor, chemist, midwife OF
Clergyman. In cases of robbery, as
sault or fire he must hurry to the
scene of the occurrence as soon as he
hears the signal. He must pay par.
ticular attention to such houses as are
pointed out to him and report to his
superiors."
Each "sereno" supervises certain
small territory, "demarcacion," as il
is called. He has three or four
subordinates, who act under his orders
and are known as ''vigilants." Each OF
these fellows has charge of a block OF
ten or fifteen buildings, and besides
having police duties he acts as sort
of porter to his houses, carrying the
keys to them all and being alone able
to open the doors. In the Spanish
towns ten o'clock is the signal fol
closing, and after that time the only
way the lodger can get inside is
dwelling is to summon the ''vigilant. >
To do this he must clap his hands three
times, and then the 'vigilant" hurries
up armed with his bunch of keys. Sc
also if anyone desires to go out dur
ing the night he claps his hands al
the window and 'vigilant" appears
When q street brawI occurs or an
attack is made, either 'sereno" OF
"vigilant" blows his whistle at the
first cry of help and chases off in tn
direction Of the sound. Up come the
other officers on the run, all blowing
their whistles loudly. If the criminal
gets away the whistles are blown in a
peculiar manner, signaling in just
what direction he has gone. The
outer rings of "serenos" and ''vigi.
lants" take up the signal, and in few
moments wide Gordon is formed in
the surrounding streets, which in
nine cases out of ten ends in the evil.
doer's capture within few moments
These police are paid directly by the
householders ON their beats, though in
every other way directly under
municipal control. The tax varies,
running from ten cents month to
sixty cents for each house. They alsc
receive New Years presents, and they
are by no means averse to tips

The Life OF Steel Rails.

\ Steel rails are assumed by the engi-
neer who examined the Atchison system
recently to have a life IN heavy traffic
lines Of Is years and on light traffic
lines Of % years, an average life Of
about 20 years. The New York Cen
trail reports the average life of it's rails
at ~ to 20 years. OF rails weighing 20
pounds to the yard, no tons are required
for each mile Of road; hence at least one
twentieth Of this amount, or 90 tons,
must on the average be renewed each
year. Most new roads may indeed be
safely operated for q long time with
small expenditure on account Of rails.
but then the renewals come all the
heavier later on.

BUENOS AYRES.
Argentine's Capital Is the Queen of the
Southern Hemisphere.

The Omniscient Whitaker, under the
heading British Possessions In Aus

its suburbs, contained Oh Dec. 81, 1894,
an estimated population of Al, $50 in
habitants, being the most populous
city in the southern hemisphere We
have always understood Rio de Janeiro
and Buenos Ayres to be also in the
southern hemisphere, and, oddly enough,
Whitaker himself gives larger figures
for both of these cities than for Mel
bourne. The remark is probably one
that has been at some time true and has
been carried on from year to year.
In any case, the results Of the ensus

Buenos Ayres to he the greatest city Of
South America and Of the southern
hemisphere. With allowance for imper-
fections in the execution Of the census.
inseparable from the way in which it
was carried out, the figure 655, 688 may
be taken as practically correct, and no
other city in this half Of the world a
lay claim to possessing within 100, 600
Of this number Of inhabitants.
The population of Buenos Ayres is
thus larger than that Of any city Of tho
United Kingdom. except London and
Glasgow. 1t is considerably larger than
that of Liverpool or Birmingham, and
it is only about $4,000 less than the
combined populations Of Manchester and
Stafford. OF the great cities Of Europe
only Paris, Berlin, Vienna, st. Peters
burg, Constantinople and Moscow sur
pass Buenos Ayres, and in North Amer
lea only New York, Brooklyn. Chicago
and Philadelphia. Our city is the second
city of the Latin world, surprising Mad
rid, Naples and Rome i'll Europe and
Rio Janeiro, Santiago. Lima and Mex
leo in the new world. The rate of
growth is no less remarkable than the
actual size, for in the last eight years
Buenos Ayres has increased about So
