A Gravy Bath for a. Boor.

During the excitement of the recent South African elections two Dutchmen at boarding house dinner table were eulogizing the superior virtues of their race as opposed to the English. Pres ently Queen Victoria was mentioned, when one exclaimed, "D-n Victoria. ]" With that the Englishman who sat next to the offending Dutebman threw the whole contents of his plate on his head-meat, potatoes. cabbage and gravy. Every other boarder threw at him the article nearest at hand-half 9 loaf of bread, hot potato. or a jug of water-until the poor victim cried for mercy, which was granted him after withdrawing his words and making 8 suitable apology.

SMOKING IN EUROPE.
The American Smoker Has Hard Time
 of It While on the Continent.


 The smoking American has a hard time of it on the continent. Iii several Of the countries, notably in France, Spain and Italy, the trade is in the hands of the Government, or so enor- mously taxed that it is virtually a Gov eFnment monopoly. Whatever may be the benefits to the national exchequer, there are certainly none to the consum- CT, and if nationalist or State Social lst wants arguments to support his theories, let him shun the subject of European tobacco.
 Pipe smokers will find no plug to- bacco abroad. They can get American brands of long-cut or fine-cut only at eXorbttant prices. Where the monopoly prevails the common smoking tobacco offered for sale will cure the habit if anything will. Italian cigars are about the meanest cigars man ever Berpetrat- ed on suffering community. Frenck cigars are not much better Hayanas can be bought in Latin countries at high rates.
 The Germanic races come nearer un- derstanding what is good in the tobae- co line. Cigars are cheap in Switzer- land, cheaper in Germany, and dog cheap in Holland. In fact, Holland is the paradise of smokers. Tobacco is absolutely free of duty there. If I understand right, and partly by reason of the fact that Sumatra is Dutch pos- session, Holland leads the world in some branches of ths tobacco trade. So the discreet smoker will bring home from Holland as many cigars as he can. In Rotterdam or Amsterdam he may buy for cents apiece cigars that in many American cigar stores would re- tail at 10 cents straight; and for cents he can get luxury that in America a millionaire would deem extravaganza.
 The cigarette habit prevails in France, Italy and Spain, so that decent cigarettes can be bought; but Turkish or Egyptian cigarettes are not given away. In Germany and Austria pipe smoking is more common; in Great Britain it would seem as if most men smoked pipe, both indoors and out Going Abroad

Casting a Stutue.

Most persons think bronze statue is solid If this were so it would be in1- possible to move most of the large ones, for the giant statue of Pan, by George Barnard, which has just been cast in New York city, weighs four tons, and is only half an inch thick. The statue is thirteen feet long, a reclining figure, and the bronze cast ing, which is entire, is the largest ever made in this country. A sand mold, weighing 27 tons, was made from the plaster figure On the large surfaces three or four tons Of sand would be hammered solid, but in the intricaeies of the fingers and the curly beard tiny pieces of mold were made, taking weeks at a time, fitting together like puzzle. When the entire plaster statue was covered with these molds they were removed and baked hard as stone, then built up together and the hollow filled with sand, which was tamped in- to solidity. When the moIds were taken off a fine copy of Pan in sand appeared, but skilful hands went over the statue, taking off half an inch from the surface all over it. Then the mutilated sand statue was replaced inside the molds and the space between the core and the molds filled in with the melted bronze, which weighed four tons. This is the way bronze statues are made.

It will probably be a shock to many to learn that all the gold coins cur- rent throughout the world could be comfortably slowed away in any one of thousands of English drawing rooms.
 A careful estimate of the gold cur- rency of the world places it's amount at e755, 900 ,OO0. Althought this enor- nous sum will probably exceed our entire national revenue for the next seven years, it could, if converted into English soyereigns, be placed in a room 33 feet long, 30 wide and 20 feet high.

WAYS OF CANTON PIRATES.
in China Their Business Is Neither Hard
 Nor Dangerous.


 Probably never since Canton was open to foreign trade, says MT. Consul Brenan in his report on the trade of the city, has piracy been so rife as during last year. The boldness of inc pirate is, however, surpassed by the apathy of the provincial Government. Perhaps the word piracy is scarcely applicable to the acts of these adyen- turous robbers. They have no armed craft of their own with which to give chase and run down thir victims. The usual plan is for band of half dozen men to go on board a passenger launch disguised as honest men. When a suitable spot is reached they throw off all disguise, oYerawe the crew and passengers by fourishing revol- yers, and then half the party stand by ready to shoot while the rest pro- eeed to search the passengers and their luggage; and when they have taken all they want they transfer themselves to another boat or land near a friendly village, where a division of the spoil takes place. They are not devoid of certain ehivalrous feeling. Cases have been known where, after having robbed some rich passengers and made good haul, they have restored to the poorer passengers what had already been taken from them. On other oc- casions they have oVerpowered the master and crew of a launch and "bor- rowed" the use of the vessel for a few hours, during which they have over hauled junk known to have valua- bles on board. Having pillaged the junk they have steamed away to their own village, and before landing they have offered to pay the master for the time his launch has been detained. The owners of passenger boats are now given to engaging some old pirate as detective He points out suspicious looking characters whom it is better not to take on beard, and keeps in cheek any of his own friends who may have been premeditating a coup.

p,.b .s TuytIe Catchers.

A curious mode of catching turtle is nraoticed in the West Indies. It con- sists in attaching 8 ring and line to the tail of a species of sucker fish, which is then thrown overheard, and immediately makes for the first turtle he can spy to which he attaches him self very firmly by means of sucking apparatus arranged on the top of his bead. The fisherman then hauls both turtle and sucking fish in.
