When Rear Admiral Sicard was q cap
tain, he vas stationed for a time ON the
old receiving ship Vermont I'm the Brook
Ign navy yard. To him Lieutenant Han
son II. Tyler, now retired, was ordered to
report for duty on the Vermont.
Tyler was a big, round, good natured

When he was in command of navy yard,
things moved off as IL was intended they
should move. So, when Tyler came aboard
the Vermont, Captain Sicard was dis
pleased because OF his tardiness.
GOOD morning, Captain Sicard, :"
drawled Tyler II am ordered to the YER
mont, and am here to report to you for
duty"
GOOD morning, Mr. Tyler" answered
Captain Sicard. "Will you have the good
ness to explain why you are four days
late?'
Certainly, captain, said Tyler, with
just the suspicion of a grin and an extra
attenuation in his drawl. "You see, my
orders were to report aboard the Vermont

An Anecdote of Jeremiah Mason.

Mr.. Mason was himself once subjected to
species of cross examination. Being in
Newport, distinguished member of the
Rhode Island bar, who had never before
met him, had heard of his habit of asking
questions especially of new acquaintance,
and when presented to him, he determined
to be first in the field with regard to this
particular qualification, and accordingly
began the conversation with series of
questions. He asked Mr.. Mason whether
he liked this, or whether he affected that,
and some of the questions were answered,
while others were parted Finally the
interrogation said:
"Well, Mr.. Mason, tell me what you do
like"
Quick as flash came the reply from
the great New Hampshire lawyer:
"Why, like to sit in this chair and
have Rhode Island lawyer ask me ques-
TONS"
There were no more questions asked

senator Hoar's Inapt Quotation.

Senator Hoar is regarded by younger
senators as the ablest man in the senate,
and some go so far as to add the foremost
statesman now in public life. At any rate
Mr.. Hoar is probably the best read man in
the senate, says correspondent in the
New York Tribune. He is gifted with a
marvellous memory and is able to quote
at an instants notice verse or prose which
he holds to be fitting to the occasion. One
day not long ago when eulogizing Eng
land Senator Hoar delivered, with much
evolutionary fervor, this verse:
More great than ever now and more august,
Now glorified she from her fires doth rise.
Her widening streets on new foundations trust
And opening into larger parts she flies
Now like n maiden green she doth behold
To her high turrets hourly suitors come
The east with incense and the west with gold
Shall stand like suppliants to receive her
doom.
All this was charming and made quite
an impression, until Senator Stewart, who
had listened intently, remarked savagely,
'That is So" Senator Hoar paused for
moment and considered what he had said,
then quickly added, ''Oh, do not mean
to have the United States stand up and DO
counted in that company" OF course tho
laugh was at Mr. Hoar's expense, and
Senator Stewart enjoyed it immensely.

Tickle Fortune.

In Venice not long ago lottery draw
ing gave rise to the opening of collins in
order that the sign of lucky number
might be detected in the eye or on the lips
of the corpse Shrouds dusty and covered
with mould were examined for traces of
writing that might lead to the sought for
knowledge, and new born infants were
closely inspected for birthmarks that would
reveal the secret, while it is said that la
dies of birth and education wore their
dresses with the insides turned out, in or
der to propitiate the god of the wheel. In
Naples begging monk was fallen on by
two footpads, who insisted that he should
tell them the lucky number, and on his
assurance that he was not able to do so
they beat him so severely that he after
ward died in a hospital. These expedients
to steal the secret of fortune display so
much ingenuity that it would seem as if
their practitioners might without much
trouble make more money In other ways.

The Spider Growing Industry.

When mine host in the ideal country
inn, which all of us seek, but none of us
find, brings up bottle of crustcd wine
covered with oobwebs and dust, this out
ward and visible sign is taken as convinc-
ing evidence of age. We grieve to have TO
record that the trust may now be mis-
placed. A bulletin Of the division of en-.
tomology of the United States department
of agriculture says that in France and
Pennsylvania an industry has recently
sprung up, which consists of the farming
of spiders for the purpose of stocking wine
cellars, and thus securing almost imme-
diate coating of cobwebs to new wine bot
ties, giving them the appearance of great
age. This industry is carried on in little
French village in the department. of Loire
and near Philadelphia, where Epeira vul-
garis and Nephila plumipes are raised in
large quantities and sold TO wine mer-
chant at the rate of $40 per hundred. This
application of entomology to industry Is
one which will not be highly commended.

Home Life Among the Indians.

One would hardly suppose that there
could be particular rules rs to the manner
of sitting upon the ground. But here as
in every other part of Indian life there is a
.isid observance of custom. Men may
properly sit upon their heels or cross leg
ged, but no woman may assume these at
titudes She must sit sidewse, gathering
her feet well under her, and make a broad,
smooth lap. When working she may
kneel or squat, and when resting she as
well as the men may sit with legs extend
ed, but at all other times men and wom-
en- must observe the etiquette of posture
distinctive of sex. To rise without touch
ing the ground with the hand springing
up lightly and easily to the feet is bit of
good breeding very difficult to one not to
the manner born. Careful parents are
particular to train their children in these
niceties of behavior.
Among the Winnebages the little girls
are drilled in the proper way of standing
when under observation on dress occasions.
Their position of hands and feet is also
the proper one for the women in certain
religious dances. While among the Sioux
a mother with good sized family of boys
and girls propounded to me the question
whether white women did not find their
daughters moro trouble than their sons.
She was sure she did. "Look at those
girls" said she. II have their clothes to
make, their hair to braid, and to see that
they learn how to behave. Now, my boys
are no trouble" AS l glanced at the group
of children, the glossy braids of the girls
falling over their single smock, and the
boys, naked but for the breech clout, their
miniature scalp lock ornamented with
brass sleigh bell surrounding snarl of
frouzy hair, recognized the kinship of
maternal perplexities the world over
