NOT so HUMBLE NOW.

An English scholar has been collect
ing statistics in regard to the manner
in which men and women make love to
each other. He informs the world that
the number of young Englishmen who
embrace their SweetheartS at the mo-
ment when they are inviting them to
become their wives amounts to Sc per
cent. On the other hand 81 per cent of
the men in love kiss their sweethearts
on the lips at the critical moment
while 4 per cent shower kisses on their
hair and per cent content themselves
with kissing their hands. At one time
II was the fashion for love-intoXicated
youths to fall on their knees when
about to make proposals of marriage
but this fashion is evidently dying out,
for we are assured that only 3
per cent of those in love at present fall
on one knee and only per cent vent
ure to sue for the lady's favor on both
knees. A curious reason has been as
signed for the decadence of this chiv-
alrous custom, which is that of late
years the neither garments of males
have been so constructed that it is
rather risky for any man to flop down
suddenly on his knees in a woman's
presence. On the other hand wooers
of to-day seem to be far more nervous
than the gallant men who wooed and
won century ago. Twenty per cent
Of the English lovers of to-day are aW-
fully nervous when the decisive mo-
ment comes. The behavior of the
young women is similarly remarkable.
When the men invite them to share
their homes eighty-one out of every
hundred fall without a word into the
outspread arms of their chosen ones;
6S per cent blush very becomingly, and
in maidenly fashion shrink away, as
though frightened at their companions
boldness; one out of every hundred,
possibly more, possibly less, says our
English statistician, falls on the sofa
as if about to faint and 4 per cent are
really astonished at receiving propo-
sails Of marriage. On the other hand
eighty out of every hundred know very
we'll what the men have come for and
hence behave just as they should on
such a momentous occasion. Further
more 60per cent look their wooers bold
ly in the eyes, but the most curious
fact of all is that one maiden out of
every hundred runs away before the
young man has finished his pretty love
tale, with the object of telling the good
news TO her girl friends.

LINCOLN MADE A CONVERT.

at have story on Abraham Lincoln
which has never been printed" said
United States Judge c. G. Foster. "In
the winter of 1S59-60 Lincoln visited
Kansas, making speeches at Troy and
Atchison. AT Atchison he put up at
the old Massasoit House, which every
old-time politician will remember. Gen
eral Stringfellow, John A. Martin, Tom
Murphy and / called upon Mr.. Lincoln
at the hotel. In the course Of the con-
versation Lincoln turned to Stringfel-
low, who was a pro-slavery advocate,
and said:
" General Stringfellow, you pro-sla-
very fellows gave as one reason why
slavery should not be prohibited in
Kansas that only the negro could break
up the tough prairie sod. Now, I've
broken hundreds of acres of prairie sod
in my time, and the only question
which remains to be decided is whether
am white man or niger
General Springfellow admitted the
force Of the argument, and congratu-
lated Mr.. Lincoln upon his pointed, log
ical way of putting things. ''-Syracuse

A SIMPLE BEGINNING.

The featherbone industry at Three
Oaks, founded and developed by e. K.
Warren of that city, is now univer-
sally known by reason of the unique
and successful direction of his energy
and genius, says the Benton Harbor
(Mich.) Palladium.
Nearly twenty years ago Mr.. War
rem was in the dry-gdeds business and
knew the varied uses to which whale
bone was put in dressmaking. He also
knew that whalebone was growing
scarcer and higher as the demand for
it increased, and he as we'll as others
thought some substitute would have
to be supplied.
One day he held a toothpick in his
mouth, and as he meditated he chew
ed the little piece of quill, as is the
habit of some people, and the harder
he thought the harder he ground the
quill, until it was reduced to fibrouS
fragments. Taking these fragments
in his hand the thought suddenly oc-
Cured to him that here was a substi-
tute for Whalebone. 1t was very
tough, exceedingly pliable and quite
durable. Later he visited a factory
where they were making feather dust
ers, using turkey feathers, which were
best adapted to the purpose. All
feathers that had brush only on one
| side, now known as turkey pointers, -
| were thrown out as useless, and, gdZ-
ing at the great pile of this waste, Mr..
| Warren wondered if these discarded
| quilts could not be put to some good
use. The toothpick incident REQUIRED
| to him, also the growing scarcity and
! expense of whalebone. He saw that
! the turkey pointers" had the best
! and largest quilts, and, following UP
! this idea, the establishment of fac
| tory at Three Oaks for the prepare
ton of featherbone became a substan-
| tiaI reality about fifteen years ago.
AT first the quilts were treated in q
crude way, the feather being stripped
and split by hand, and originally sold
to limited trade as simple fiat pieces;
now 100 machines put the feathers
through a score of processes that
transform them quickly from plain
turkey pointers, received in great
gunny sacks from different sources OF
supply, into the finished preparations
known by a dozen different names to
the trade and used in dressmaking
and for other purposes the wide world
| over.
The factory employs $50 hands here
and fifty in it's branch factory al
Porter, Ind, and has it's own electric
light plant and machine shops. II
contemplateS adding machines tC
make the paper boxes, of which il
uses large numbers in disposing of its
products. 1t has a corps of statesmen
and saleswomen on the road, and theil
sales aggregate $500 day.

A ROUGH BAR
ON CHRISTMAS
One Schooner Forced to Put
Back Into Port and
Wait.
Another Cutting ARRAY Disturbs the
Holiday Quiet-CaPtain Brown
HOnOred.

A singular occurrence for Christmas
Day, happening as it does so seldom
as to be noteworthy at any time, the
bar was so rough yesterday that the
schooner Martha w. Tuft, which start
ed for La Paz, had to return and wait
a while. The peculiar fact was that
a light wind was blowing all day and
the bar is hardly ever known to be
rough unless a stiff breeze is blowing.
An alteration on board the scow
Pinole, lying at Howard street wharf
No. 3, yesterday, between the cook,
Henry Weigel, and the stepson of the
captain, a man named Henry Pan
horst, led to Panhorst being cut in
the neck over the cartoid artery by
the cook. The injured man was treat
ed at the Harbor Hospital, and DIR.
Deas asserts that If the wound had
been little bit deeper the man would
have bled to death. Weigel was arrest
ed by officers Dillon and MCGOWAN and
booked at the Harbor Police Station
on a charge Of assault with a deadly
weapon. He has a confused wound
over the right eye.
Captain 2. T. Brown, superintendent
of the State tugs, was presented yes
terday with a handsome onyx clock by
the officers and men of the tugs Gov
ernor Markham and Governor Irwin.
j. ]. Leary, chief engineer of the r.
win, made the presentation speech.
The steamer Alliance sailed at IL a.
m. yesterday for Seattle. She is bound
for Alaska in the interest of the Pa
cific Steam Whaling Company, and
full accounts of her trip have already
been published. She has been delayed
owing to necessary repairs.
The gasoline launch America, built
for Kitterman, the Stockton-street
furniture dealer, seems to be resting
under a "hoodoo." AS fast as one
thing is discovered wrong and repaired
another crops up. She is now lying in
Kane's Cove, and no use has so far
been made of her.

THE IRISH IN THE BRITISH
ARMY.

The world has been so widely thrilled
by the heroic incident of the storming
of Dargal Ridge that the following,
from an editorial in the New York
Evening Post, will no doubt be read
with interest:
There are now no Highlanders in the
British army, and there are compare
lively few Lowland Scotchmen. The
recruiting sergeant picks I'D few
boys about Edinburgh and Stirling
Castle, but the Stalwart battalionS who
fought at New Orleans and in the
Crimea, and followed Havelock and
Colin Campbell in India, are seen no
more. In fact, the Scotch have ceased
to enlist, for the simple reason that
they can do better. Scotchmen gene
rally are too prosperous and indus
trious and canny, and emigrate too
easily, to take 1.-The Queens shilling"
The famous Highland regiments are
now made I'D mainly of Engishmen
and IriShmen, and consequently are
really a kind of picturesque and harm
less imposture. Lord William
Beresford, fighting Irishman of the
navy, has gone down armed with sus-
picions to the War Office and dis
covered that the Gordon Highland
ers," who stormed the heights of Oar
gal-and set the Scotch bugles blow
ing, were mainly Irishmen, and that
CNGh Tie plPCA, VIII plpCO biO
Cock of the North" after being shot
through both legs, was an Irishman
named Findlater, and said, "Arrah, be
aiSy" instead of "Hoot, mon."
Probably everybody in the British en-
pire knows that Marlborough was an
Englishman and Lord Clyde a Scotch
man, but how many know that Wei
lington was an Irishman, and that
Lord Roberts and Lord Wolseley are
also Irishmen? The achievements of
these men and of others like them go
to English or Scotch account, while to
the Irish is left the glory of killing
landlords and cutting off cows tails.
1t is largely in these small things that
Irish misgovernment consists. 1t has
been made a crime and disgrace for
the Irish to be national while in the
Scotch it has been encouraged. and
the result is Irish hatred and aliena-
ton. The notion that it can all be
cured by visit from the Duke of
York and Mr.. Balfour is part of the
same huge mistake which has made
Irish history such chapter of woe.

Jules Marty Was Severe
ly Wounded by Nat
Wall, a Waiter.
Wall Was Searching for Nellie

F. McArdle Gashed on the Necl

a Fit of jealousy.

Nat Wall, a co1ored waiter at the
Hotel Savoy, Post and Powell streets,
is booked at the City Prison on a
charge of assault with a deadly wea-
pom, and it is by the merest chance
it was not murder
Wall had been living at 112 Fourth
street with Mrs. Nellie Massey, a
woman who shot and killed her hus-
band, baggagemaster on the South
ern Pacific, about three years ago and
was acquitted in the Superior Court.
She left him Friday and early yes
terday morning he got filed up with
liquor and went in search of her. He
suspected she had gone to 211 Fourth
street, and about 3 o'clock he made his
appearance there. He knocked at all
the doors, asking in a loud tone of
voice if she was there, till finally Jules
Marty, the proprietor of the house.
went to him and told him to go away
and not raise a disturbance in the
house.
Wall was abusive, and, thinking he
heard the woman'S voice in a room,
he tried to break open the door. Marty
thought it was time to act and he at
tempted to eject Wall, who resisted
and plunged knife into Martyrs right
leg.
Marty fell with groan and Wall
fled. DR.. Forrest was summoned and
attended to Martyrs wound, which,
though serious, is not considered dan
gerous.
Wall was arrested yesterday after
noon by Detectives Anthony. and Dill
lon and was taken to I'll Fourth street
and identified by Marty.
Another stabbing ARRAY occurred
yesterday afternoon, and F. McArdle.
Gil Howard street, will have cause to
remember Christmas day for the rest
of his life. He has been living there
with JEANNE Boyd, and Friday night
Mary Hubbard, a friend of Jeannie's,
came to stay with her over Christmas.
Yesterday afternoon Thomas Lavelle.
who is in love with Mary, called at Nc
Ardle'S house to see her, as he alleged
she had taken 81 from him. He was re-
fused admittance, and forced his way
in by breaking a window.
When he got inside he drew his
pocket knife and attacked McArdle. A
terrific fight ensued, and the two
women rushed out and yelled for the
police. Policeman Murphy answered
the cries for help, and when he entered
the place McArdle was on the floor
with deep cash in his neck, severing
two large arteries, and another in his
scalp. McArdle was sent to the Re
ceiving Hospital and DR.. Howard
stitched and dressed his wounds.
Lavelle and the two women were
taken to the City Prison. Lavelle was
booked for assault to murder and the
two women for vagrancy.

some kind, and to accomplish that She

some kind, and to accomplish that she
must remain at peace.
Count Goluchowski, as we had re-
cent occasion to point out, is an ADLER
man than the British world has as yet
had an opportunity of perceiving, and
it is more than possible that he is also
a far-sighted one, while the facts
which alarm him are patent to all
economists and all ChancellorS of EX-
cheqners; but to make his prophecy of
other than rhetorical value he should
have told us more distinctly what
form he thinks the defense" of Eu-
rope should assume. The great prob
ability is that nothing effective can be
done by Governments at all, and that
economic safety for Europe-in other
words, the means of supporting her
increasing population-must be sought
in a totally different direction. We do
not suppose that the Austrian Chan
cellor thinks it possible to prevent
America, India, Argentina and other
producing countries from exporting
food, for Britain needs food, and
America wishes to sell food. That
would be to meet the united Anglo
Saxon race in. arms for its existence,
and is too big a job for any coalition
whatever to undertake.; and without
prohibiting production what can a
combined Continent" do? 1t might,
but if it does food will be dear, and it
is the dearness of food in Europe
which makes Asia dangerous in the
manufacturing competition. And it
might also prohibit Transoceanic man
ufacturers from coming in; but if it
does both things it will cut up trade
by the roots, and have nobody to buy
and sell with except Continental Eu-
ropeans, who cannot, on the hypothe-
sis, maintain themselves without eX
ternal commerce. Taking in one an
others washing is not trade.
Failing these two devices, both of
which have so far proved unsatisfac
tory, what is Count Goluchowski go
ing to do? He can hardly offer
bounty on everything that Continen-
tai peoples produce, as Germany ana
France do on beetroot, for no treasury
could bear the expense, and no people
would pay the necessary taxes. Then
what is to be done? The truth is there
is nothing to be done except to bear
competition in patience, using so lar
as may be the superior intelligence OF
European captains of labor, machin-
lists and inventors until success in the
competition develops among Asiat1cs
new wants, higher rate of wages,
and a greater reluctance to work ex-
cessive hours. AsiaticS like ease and
plenty and luxury like everybody else.
1t is quite true, as Count GoluchoWSk1
sees, that the worlds industry is go
ing to be pooled, and that this places
Europe for a moment at disadvan-
tage, especially as regards agriculture
but the process is a natural one, and
cannot be prevented. AS soon as it is
complete and commerce is free each
country will produce what it is best
qualified to produce; and we may rely
on it that Europe, with its superior
no hi
cation. will not be left hopelessly lag
cling in the race. Simplicity of life is
not everything in industrial organiza-
ton any more than in political, and on
the political side Europe has shown
herself an easy winner.
