Excusable Ignorance.

The sailors Idea of the only correct
school of manners Is amusingly illus

"ChOke your lufY, will you!" was the
reply. That's the President of the

Patriotism in Germany.

In Germany they teach patriotism in
the popular schools in England We
do not at any rate, not officially. In
Germany the Kaiser's birthday, the
anniversary Of Sedan, and other ma
tional landmarks are celebrated in the
rational schools. They have feasts sand
music and excursions but the chill
dren have kept clearly before their
eyes the reason for their rejoicings.
Indeed, the law impresses upon pa
rents and children that all voluntary
absence from these school feasts is an
offense. There were parents who kept
their children back, especially from
the Sedan commemoration, and this
on conscientious grounds. But now
no longer; ''for," says the magistrate,
"any unexcnsed absence from patriotic
festivals established by the school
shall be considered as voluntary non
attendance, and inspectors, teachers,
and the authorities concerned are
hereby instructed to this effect"
Patriotism Ia pedagogue, perhaps,
but patriotism none the less and the
children of great empire might per-
haps do we'll to take leaf out of q
book made in Germany. Let us i'm
acine the astonishment of the English
child if he were told that he was to
have holiday and fete for the sake
of some great event in our own his
tory. But Germany has these patri-
otic school-feasts, and Franco the en-
blem of the republic in every school
room, because they actually imagine
the patriot is made as well as born.-

The Turquoise Craze.

A remarkable furore has lately pos
sessed the women of this city for tur-
quoises. Turquoise hearts are con-
sidered by far the most dainty and de-
sirable of all the big jeweled hearts
worn quite as muca by men as by
women, and turquoise beads are now
being introduced instead of pearls to
stud the fine gold chains to which
eyeglasses and fans are suspended.
Another novelty in love tokens, and
one of the most eccentric ideas eman-
ating from the brain of Nine la Mode,
is 1.-THE beloved eye." This, of course,
is not the genuine article, but a
miniature painting of the human eye,
done most exquisitely on ivory, and
set about with precious stones. and
is either worn by the enamored swain
as watch charm or, clasped by q
long, slender chain, nestles beneath
the lace on his lady's bosom. The
painting of the eye alone is by no
means trivial task, and the one who
wishes to offer presentment of his
or her optic to the beloved one must
give many sittings to the miniature
painter in order to enable him to pro-
duce the exact color and expression,
SO the fad for "beloved eyes" is too
eccentric and too costly to be lasting.

Wives in Persia.

Persian weddings are grand affairs,
the bridegrooms often going deeply in
debt and squandering two or three
years income in feasting and enter
tanning their friends. Nevertheless,
the status of married women ill these
parts appears to be even below the
Oriental standard.
When the couple settle down to a
humdrum married existence the Per-
sian theory is that man has linked
himself to being inferior to him in
every ay, who must submit to his
sovereign will in all things. From
bis extreme youth he has been taught
by the priests to pay no attention to
the counsels of his wife, and they have
strongly impressed upon him that if
a woman advises him to any course OF
action lie had better do the exact con-
trary.
I remember on one occasion calling
on a lady when her husband was pres
ent, and the latter ut once asked ne
whether I thought his wife pretty in
much the same way as if she were n
horse OF dog, says London Stand
ard writer. He also bade me remark
how i'll at ease she was in his pres
ence, adding with pride that if they
were at table together she would have
trembled in every limb from fear OF
her lord and mast'r. 1t was impos-
sible to make him understand my in
dignation at this state of things; but
yet, as human nature is the same all
the world over, there are occasionally
henpecked husbands even in Persia.
For instance, the wife of one gov
ernor Of my acquaintance WAS q lady
of great force of character, and all
who considered themselves to be ag-
grieved at any decision OF her hus-
band, would lay their cases before her
by means of the servants of her IAN
deroon," and it frequently happened
that if she thought fit she would in
sist on her lord and master reversing
his DEGREES
It is now the fashion in Persia, de-
spite the example set by the Shah, to
have only one wife. This is, in a
great measure, due to the fact that the
Persians of today are usually very
poor, and naturally the keeping up of
two or three entirely different estab-
lishments is very great tax on n
mans resources, to say nothing of the
trouble involved of experimenting the
servants and in examining the ac-
counts OF each household.

Earnings of Canadian Indians.

There are some astonishing figures
in recent returns presented to the Do
minion parliament showing the amount
of Indian earnings for the last year.
According to these statistics the In
dams of Canada received as proceeds
of the fisheries 50,270.85, and as
earned by hunting s4Os, 1883. The
statement earned by hunting" as
our longtime Quebec correspondent,
Mr.. J. U. Gregory, tells us, is to be
understood as including all furs,
wherever sold, to the Hudson's Bay
company or others. In these days,
when we are all talking about the OBJ
liberation of wild creatures, this an
nual fur catch of more than $400, 600
for Canada is significant of an enor-
NOUS native supply, all the more re-
markable since the fur industry has
been carried on for so many decades.

Habits Of Snakes.

An eminent writer on birds and rep
tiles declares that the notion frequent
ly entertained that snakes fascinate
their prey Is utterly exploded. 1t would
be somewhat interesting If this gen
tleman would tell us what power 1t Is
that snakes exert over birds which
draws them against their will within
easy distance Of the reptiles jaws. The
writer Of this paragraph has seen birds
fluttering in the air above the heads
Of snakes, apparently unable to resist
the influence that attracted them.
Whether it be fascination or some 9th
er force, it unquesticnably existed, al
though every one may net have OBJ
served it. Snakes never bite. To bite
would be impossible. from the forma-
ton Of their jaws. They strike from
above, fastening their fangs into their
prey, after which they dispatch it, ord
inarily by swallowing. Many varieties
of snakes have the power to conceal
their young in their mouths. The tiny
snakes play about the mothers head
and upon the slightest alarm she opens
her mouth, and they Immediately van
ish, reappearing when tho cause for
alarm seems to have been removed.
Whether the mother snake has the fac
ulty of communicating their danger to
them Is not known; in all probability
she has. There are certain fish that
open their mouths and engulf their
small brood when danger threatens.

portunity for interesting research In

A Fortune From a Scare.

An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an effica-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. AS result he has
brought out and patented pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most vic
ious dog cannot withstand o few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
yet there is no danger of actually in
jurins valuable animal which might
playfully annoy rider. The weapon
has proved so much of success rs a
means of defense rs well as fl1n-mak-
ing, that the lucky inventor isr ,alizing
much money from his device.

The "First Indy" of Alaska.

1t is not generally known that Mrs.
Brady, the wife of the governor of
Alaska, was missionary in that
country when she met her husband,
over 20 years ago. She is devoted
mother, and during her trip to Wash
ington recently visited the National
Congress of Mothers, attending nearly
every session. A visitor at the con,
gress says that she is 4 charming and
unaffected woman, whose heart is
evidently divided between the two
children who accompany her and the
three who remained behind in Sitka,
and who Will not sec their mother un-
til next fall. Mrs. Brady has decided
literary tendencies, and is arranging
to take course in stenography, with
the ultimate idea of putting into pub
lication form the interesting material
gathered by Governor Brady during
his life in the land Of gold and seals.
