u It is my Observation that American
have not the lingua1 faculty "a Ger
man or Frenchman will pick up more
Spanish in a month than an American
will in a year. i have met countrymen
of mine who have lived most of their
lives here without acquiring it, but /
have never come across foreigner
who could not make q good showing in
q fortnight. Spanish, however, is. a
beautiful language, musical and easy
to learn. Its construction is simple,
and. what is of no small moment to the
student, it is pronounced precisely as
written. An hour a day for six months
should give a fair command Of it to
any young person Of average intelli-

The statesmen now directing the af-
fairs of Mexico are alive to the inpor-

he took off his shoes and stockings and

attacked them with a hoe. He slashed
a lot of them in two, b ut when the

Killed the Wrong Animal.

ran to the house to get his fathers

As we read the account of this sad

hould this desire to kill be SO fully de-
yeloped in a small boy, that when he
sees a beautiful little creature, full of
life and activity, Ills first thought is to
kill it? Granted that there is in hui
nan nature the natural desire to do

it. IF the father catches up gun to

expect that he will inculcate the same

will grow up with the bump Of de
structiveness largely developed. On
the other hand, il the boy is taught
both by precept and example Of his

Yacht Racing.

n A racing man must be observant. He
should notice where the tides are the
strongest, and also which way the.
flow is at the time Of the race If pos
sible, he should make himself familiar
with all this before the race, ard it
should have some effect on the course
of his boat. For instance, suppose one
/ of the legs of the course takes you up
a channel, as the outlet Of a river OF
bay. If the tide is against you, you
should hug the shore and avoid the
deep water, as the tide always runs
strongest in the center. Now suppose.
you have rounded the mark, then the
tide is in your favor, and it is clearly
to your interest to get in the middle of
the channel, so as to have it's full bene-
fit. It will easily be seen what might
be lost by a skipper not knowing or
observing which way the tide was
flowing. b
At all times you must he on the look
out to take any little advantage an op.
portunity offers, and to interfere with
an opponents wind If possible, when
passing a boat, always go to WindWard.
but do not enter into one Of those
senseless luhng matches which will
practically take the two boats engaged
out Of the race. Z
The price of success in racing is Wig
lance, observation, decision, and no
set rule can be laid down for the racing
captain. A great deal will depend on
opportunities and the manner he makes
use of them. There is some luck in
boat racing, but much that is ascribed
to luck is due to the foresight. Of the
captain. Very often you hear that such
and such a boat, with her usual good
luck, received the first advantage Of
the changing breeze. How is it that in
these cases it is usually the same boat
can we entirely and justly ascribe it to
luck ?-Harper's Round Table.

Uniform Came Laws.

lib noteworthy as presenting practicable
scheme for the protection Of the game Of
the country, which we are inclined to be-
lteve offers complete solution Of this much
svexed problem, and its senior editor, Mr..
Charles Hallock, who devised and rosnu-
lated the scheme, has also the ullest en-
sdorsement Of all leading naturalists and
sportsmen who have had an! opportunity to
examine 1t. Briefly, it contemplates divid-
Ing the entire territory Of the United States,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, into two
concessions along the line Of the fortieth
parallel Of latitude, or near it. for each Of
which there shall be uniform laws and uni
form close time, the whole to be under the
police surveillance of the National Associa-
3 ton for the Protection Of Game and Fish
through Its multifarious state anxiliaries.
The close time for the Northern concession
Will be from Jan. to Sept. /, and in the
southern concession from Feb. / to
Sept 3 during which no shooting shall be
allowed on any kind of game whatever, ex-
cepting that swoodcock and shore birds of
the order Limicolae may. be shot In August
The general close time for all kinds Of
inland fishes, recognized as game fishes, to
extend from Oct. 1 to June i, excepting that
fishes of the order Salmonidae, including
the trouts, may be caught in April and May.
These close seasons conform very nearly

A Hundred Miles an Hour by Elec-
trio Car

An electrical engineer has been ex-
hibiting in London the model of his
proposed single-rail electric line for
speeds of $50 miles an hour. The rail
is fixed on V-shaped trestle, and runs
up into the body of the car, which, as
it were, runs astride on it.. The car
runs on twelve bearing wheels and
seats 1876 passengers with space for
their baggage. One of the difficulties
met with in schemes for excessive high
speed travel is the tendency of the car
to run off the track. By running the
rail within the ear the lateral tendency
of the train is overcome But in this
late scheme the great difficulty seems
to be the passenger. What would hap
pen to the passenger when the train
took sharp curve while going at $50
miles an hour is not explained.
