The Study of Manners,

An Eastern female college has intro
duced into it's curriculum systematic
study of manners. 1t is to be hoped
that othe. institutions of. learning
especially public schools-will take up
a like course. AS a nation we are sad
ly deficient in this respect. Inv at
tempting to avoid the elaborate and
often absurd ceremonies Of European
polite life, we have gone to the oppo-
site extreme, and, as consequence,
sometimes Americans of the most re-
fined nature appear rude and uncouth.
We need to know, more of the con-
ventionalities of elegant society, with
out going into the finical questions Of
etiquette that are bothcrsome and un-
important. Teach our young men and
women the politeness that comes from
a gentle heart and a delicate percep-

A Cycle Storage Headlight.

The lamp itself weighs only about an

the cap.
A small storage battery of about
eight hours capacity is carried on the
bicycle or in the riders pocket, and
connected with it is a body wire,
which leads to the back Of the cap.
The lamp is specially suited to it's
purpose, for it is really a search-light.

IN which the rider looks. Its being at
tached to the visor of the cap secures
this advantage. The eyes of the rider
are thoroughly protected, because the
lamp rests upon the top of the visor.
AS it illuminates the way much better
than an ordinary oil lamp, it is sure
to add to the safety and pleasure of
bicycle riding at night Philadelphia

Something for Canoeists.

The supplies that a canoeist takes
with him in his boat should consist
OF a few pounds of sugar, a box of
salt, three or four pounds of coffee ~
tin box with a close-fitting screw It.,
some bacon, a pound of tea, couple
Of Jars Of marmalade or jam, q tin
OF deVlled ham, and a peund or two
of pilot-bread OF hardtack. There will
be lots of places along the course of
your cruise where you will be able to
replenish these stores should they run
short, and at the villages you pass
you can secure fresh meat if you care
for it or are skilful enough cook to
prepare it. Always have a line and
some tsh-hocks with you. for a can
oeist should be a good fisherman.
Is. to the cruise itself, it should be
carefully planned beforehand. Never
start off with only u generai idea or
where you want to go. 1t is a bad
thing to trust to luck in canoeing.
Plan your trip so that you will start at
the head of some river, or as near the
head as you can find good water. and
cruise down. Don't attempt to cover
too great a distance in one day.
Twenty five miles a day is enough,
and is more than YOU will care to
make if most if it has to be paddled.
further-never hurry. Take plenty of
time to fish, battle, land, visit the
country. and eat your meals regularly.
II you have only a certain number of
days to devote to your cruise, lay out
the distance you must cover each day.
and try to stick to your schedule as
closely as camping grounds will al
low. Keep a record of your adven-
lures in a log-book; this will prove
not only interesting but valuable in
the future.-Harper's Round Table.

STURGEON FISHING.
Landing These Monsters Is Work
for Able-BOdied Men.

: for Able-BOdied Men.
The fishermen along the river at
Essex and SaybrOOk are now engaged
IN sturgeon fishing. Few are aware
or the methods used to catch this mon
#ster OF the waters, for a monster it
su1ely is, often weighing 600 pounds
or more. The sturgeon fisherman is
: compelled to use good Judgment and
master his prey when caught, for the
hsh are desperate as we'll as powerful.
,YIne net Is of the same style as an
I ordinary fishing seine, the meshes be-
ing fourteen inches square Of twenty
seven thread twine. This thread will
not be sufficient to hold the fish when
caught, because of it's great strength
ana shape, but no sooner is he caught
III the seine than it becomes entangled
In the loose twine, and the work of
landing him in the fishing boat begins.
! The fishermen know when the fish
lis in the net, for the seine corks begin
to sink and dance on the water as
! though electrified. The fishermen in
the boat approach this troubled spot,
gradually haul in what is known as
the cork line, and the monster is raised
; until the lantern reveals it's position.
Then the hatchet is used on it's head
with repeated blows, after which the
fish is allowed to remain submerged
for a time until life is thought to be
extinct. But the fish er,nen are often
deceived, for the sturgeon may have
been playing 'Dossum, as Mr.. Daniels
and Mate BrockWay Of Hamburg will
testify.
They recently had a midnight en-
counter with a 45O-pound sturgeon,
which, after being safely landed in
the boat, came to life in good shape
and proceeded to take charge not only
Of the boat but of the crew, in such a
manner that the frightened fishermen
started their boat for shore and finally
reached it, but neither was able to
tell how, so excited were they. The
hSh lived two hours and wasted no
time; 1t succeeded i'll breaking two Of
the boards and one oar, as we'll as
tearing the sail, which was slowed in
the forward part of the boat. This
fish was considered one of the most
desperate kind of the sturgeon species,
being known as the "bu]l-nos,," which
does not often leave salt for fresh
water,
In gone-by shed-fshing days, when a
sturgeon got in a seine with a shad it
was always sure to liberate the whole
catch by tearing large hole in what
is called the ''bust." These fish are
always dreaded by the shad fishermen.
Their time for visiting these waters is
from the middle of June to the LIST of
September, and, like the swallows, all
go-or seem to gC-ir one day-Essex

WITHOUT SWITCHES.
A Railroad Should Be Built to Be
Absolutely Safe.

Absolutely Safe.
serious trouble, causing many
railway accidents, is that our rail is
not continuous, being broken in a
number of places by switches and
frogs. Perhaps only a higher wisdom
than ours can tell us how to avoid ac-
cidents caused by open switches, as
long as these dangerous devices are
not eliminated from the track. This
should be done, even if the cost Of
otherwise setting off the cars be moro
expensive. Let us make our rails alb
solutely continuous and transfer cars
bodily to adjacent tracks by the use
OF hosting machinery. Such devices
are used in England-of course, under
the control of a block system-and are
found very safe and satisfactory.
Particularly should tracks on which
very fast trains are run be made con-
tinuous, as accidents on such trains
are more serious than those that hap
pen on slow trains.-Engineering Mag

Walking 1000 Miles to Church.

The history of Canada, especially it's
earlier history, preserves the story Of
many deed Of heroism and devotion
on the part of Christian missionaries
who worked and perished among the
Indians; but there are few stories
which reflect so much credit on Indian
plety as that published from Quebec.
Montagnais, an Esquimaux, came
from the southern shore Of Hudson
strait to worship in the province Of
Quebec. This involved a tramp Oh
foot of 1000 miles, No pilgrimage in
the Middle ages was ever made in
circumstances of greater hardship.
The citizen who is 10th to walk a

Other Suns than Ours,

If our sun could be as far removed
from us as are the seven stars, It
would hardly be visible in an opera
glass, yet there are sixty or seventy
such groups as the pleiades in sight
every night, each group being COM
posed of scores Of suns larger and
more brilliant than that which makes
life in our world possible.
Alcyone is sun 1000 times more
brilliant than our ''orb of day" and
Electra and Mala are each 500 times
larger than Old Sol Several of these
immense sun groups taken collective
ly and not reckoned on the basis of in
dividual members) are believed to be
as much as 4O,OOO,00O,OOO miles in
diameter. If this calculation is not at
fault, it would take light seven years
to flash from one extreme of such Q
group to the other.

No Use for Il Pig.

sleep. Instead. she ate a portion Of
his coat and trousers. When Dorsey

so he tied the pig where it was and
came home. Yesterday he went after
her. During the night she chewed the
rope with which she had been tied and
started for the swamp. When she got
there she went in up to her neck in
mud. Dorsey went after her. Three
hours after some men heard faint
calls for help, and found the pig sit
ting on what appeared to be an ami
mated log. The log was Dorsey, who
had fallen down In the mud and the
pig had mounted him to keep out Of
the mire. The men got him out and
took him, with the pig. home. At Me-

Elephants and Their Ailments.


"Elephants are very rarely the vic
Tins of serious Illness" said the old
animal trainer. ION rare occasions
when something is wrong with them
there seems to be little that can be
lone for their relief except to allow
them absolute rest On one occasion.
when one of the big beasts was look
InS worn and thin after a hard sea-
sons work, carrying the saddle every
lay, two quarts Of pure whisky were
given her with the best results. The
stlmulant seemed to brace her up i'm
mediatefy and has been used with
similar success in other instances. I
remember queer misadventure that
befeu one of the elephants during the
summer of 1894. There was a loose
board in the partition that separated
the elephants quarters on the ele-
phant car from the little room at the
end where the keepers slept.
The floor of the little room was
covered with straw mattresses and
one Sunday, while the men were
away, the elephant reached her trunk
through the hole in the partition and
before she was detected ate up an
entire mattress. The next day the
animal was taken violently i'll, going
into convulsions and making a terri
bic disturbance. The cause of the
trouble was not discovered until one
ef the keepers remembered that he
had concealed in the mattress five
pounds OF plug tobacco, which had
gone down the elephants throat along
with the straw. The oldest elephant
in the country is seventy years old.
There is a wide misapprehension in
regard to the ages of elephants. Ele-
plants are not as a rule much longer
lived than men and women. l doubt
It they ever attain a greater age than
l5O years.

CONFUCIAN MISSIONARY.

A Teacher of Chinese Morality Set.
tied in This Country. g.
Some months ago the Chinese minis
ter at Washington made a visit to-
this city for the purpose of looking
anto the condition of his countrymen.t
He perceived that they were well
supplied with joss houses, but sadly
in need of moral instruction. Accord
ingly he caused a hall to De hired in
the Chinese quarter and appointed
man learned in the doctrines of Con-
fucius to give lectures on moral prac-z
tices to such as would care to come:
and hear
A hall was secured for this purpose
at II Mott street, up two flights Of
stairs. On one side of the room Is,
posted a notification issued by the.
Chinese consul of this city informing
his countrymen of the new course
of lectures; on the opposite side is
the Chinese text Of the immigration
treaty recently concluded between
China and the United States.
The lecturer appointed by the mis-
sionary is huYang-Kow. He is
thin-faced man, with a pale, sickly
ders and a few struggling hairs on
his upper lip. Though he has been in
this country over fifteen years he can
not speak a word of English. His
countlymen hold him in high esteem.
On the platform he wears the full
dress of Chinese gentleman-a long,
flowing robe reaching down to the
ankles, with a shorter coat over it,
fC nd 1,,+
ton on top.
1t was at first intended that a lee
ture should be given every Sunday
and Monday and the first and ff-
teenth days of every Chinese month,
Sundays and Mondays and the first
and fifteenth days of the month stand
with the Chinese nearly as Sunday
does with the Christian people. But
the hard-working laundrymen do not
sermon a week, and the only meeting
that is now held is on Sunday. The
lecture is confined to sixteen topics.
These are the "Sacred Command
ments," 50 called from the fact that
mind. Here are some Of them:
fraternal duties, in order to give due
Importance to the relations of society.
LET peace abound among neighbors
in order to put stop to disputes and
litigations.
Encourage frugality and economy,
with a view to the saving of money
ind expenses.
:; Put down heretical doctrines, with
a view to e1xalt the orthodox ia itI,'s-.-
illustrate the principles of ~propri-
ety and courtesy, with the view Of
improving the manners and customs Of
the people.
Let everybody attend to his own
calling, to the end that the people of
the whole country may live in settled
contentment."
These apothegms were first given to
the world by kans-hi, the second
emperor of the present dynasty. They
are regarded as containing in a small
compass the fundamental principles
