HOW STURGEON rs CAPTURED.

To fish while mounted on the back
of a horse probably would be beyond
the capacity of gentle IZaak Walton OF
delightful memory, yet that is the way
sturgeon is captured in the frozen r1V-
ers of the Ural mountains. Russian
Cossacks fish in large ban1s. They
gallop along until they reach the point
in the river where the current has its
swiftest flight. There they dismount
and cut into the ice until they have
cleared a small pool of water which
extends across the rapid current al
most from one bank of the river to the
other. A net is then sunk to the bot
tom of the stream and stretched across
it at the open pool so that not sin
gle fish can swim beyond it's meshes.
Then the horses are mounted and the
Cossacks turn back ana ride along the
edge Of the river for about four or five
miles. Then the band wheels about
and gallops rapidly along the ice-cov-
cred stream, making picture that
would delight a Schreyer or Fromen-
tim. The loud cannonade caused by
the beating of the horses hOofs on the
surface Of the ice terriies the sturgeon
and they swim quickly in advance Of
their pursuers, tumbling finally in
swarms into the net that waits their
capture.

TO AMUsE A VERY YOUNG CHILD.

1t is the common experience of all
who have had to do with babies of
three months old and upward that
they tire quickly of toys which can
only be looked at and handled, while
something in the nature of an occupa-
ton, suited exactly to the child's
capacity, will hold his attention for
an almost Indefinite period. Such
occupations as pulling out the stopper
of an empty vial and putting it in
again, taking pins out of a pfncushion
and sticking them in, winding and I'M
winding a spool of thread, emptying
and refilling dish with sand or water,
will give pleasure for half hours at a
time and for many hours in the ag-
gregate. The instinct for classify
ing and arranging is very early
awakened, and small objects are
placed in rows or in piles; pebbles and
shells assorted by size or color;
beads and buttons strung upon wires
or strings with never-failing enjoy
ment. Thu toys may be largely dis
pensed with to the child's positive adj
vantage, and what he really needs is
a supply of play material, such as
sand, blocks, pebbles, seeds, small
boxes and bottles, paper and string.

SOME VERY OLD WORDS.
The Debt of the English Language to
the Greeks, Romans, etc.

A Short Story of the English Ian
guage is the title of a page of the
May St. Nicholas, written by Jessie A.
Chase When Caesar went to Britain,
in So B. c. land that is the first time
that we hear of the Britons in his
tory, there was no such thing as the
English language. No; it is only
about twelve hundred years old. And
for the first hundred years or so it was
baby language! For it did not grow
to look and sound at all as it does
now until after 1000 A D. But where
and when was it born?
The Romans, from Caesars time on,
ruled large part Of Europe. Spain
ruled a large part of Europe. Spain
and Portugal and France are still
called FLatin' countries, as we'll as
Italy, because in all these regions the
Latin race and the Latin language De-
came supreme.
Not so with England. In the fifth
century the Roman soldiers gave 1t
up and left Britain. The people had
adopted some of the Latin words, but
the language Of the natives was old
Celtic. This, however, was not the
mother tongue of English; the modern
forms of Celtic are Scotch-Gaelic,
Irish, Welsh, Manx.
No; our English is the child neither
of the Latin nor of the Celtic, but is
descended from an ancient German1c
language brought to Britain IN the
fifth and sixth centuries by some
tribes from the shores of the Baltic
Seattle Angles, Saxons, and Jutes.
The dialects of these tribes we're much
alike, and were gradually woven into
one language, called Anglo-Saxon at
first, and afterward Old English (from
the most powerful tribe-the Angles).
But surely, when we study Latin
and French, we find large number
of words that look like English words
of the same meaning. Where dld
these come from? English has always
been a great borrower; and just as
England has colonies all over the
world, so that "the sun never sets"
on the Queens dominions, so English
has words taken from all languages
We have noticed that some of the
Roman soldiers words were left IN
common use among the Britons of the
fifth century; these were adopted, IN
turn, by the Anglo-Saxons; and as the
Romans said strata via for paved
way, so the Anglo-Saxon said straet,
and we say "street." wonder II
Caesar would recognize the word! In
597 some Christian missionaries went
over from Rome, and many more
Latin words were adopted by the
saxons-" priest" church" psalms"
also words for plants and animals
Oily" "pea,' lobster" trout. "
In the ninth century the Danes in
vaded England, and left some of their
words.

Card parties are so much the rage
nowadays that the up-to-date hostess
must have her wits about her to de-
wise new and catchy ideas for her
numerous entertainments.
It is not so much a question Of
prizes, for the variety of these to be
found in the shops is so varied and at
tractive that it is only question of
madam's purse. What is more worthy
of thought is how to get the touch Of
originality which is going to make
ones party the smartest which has
been held in the club.
One very clever way of choosing
partners is to write familiar quota
lions of from four to six lines on
ally in two and distribute the halves
to the guests.
One girl varied LIS by writing
original verses on her cards, the
verses all having reference to the
game. The picking out of partners
caused no end of fun, as the verses be-
ing strange to the players, there were
no familiar combinations of words to
help them
Another way is to cut hearts,
spades, diamonds and clubs out of
cardboard or cenuloid, if the company
be composed of both sexes. Give the
spades and diamonds to the men, and
hearts and clubs to the women. Each
set of hearts, diamond, club and spade
is of one color, and bow of ribbon or
other device of corresponding hue is
fastened to one of the tables. The
player holding ,Ae red heart is the
partner of the one holding the red
club and spade are also paired to-
gether, and so on.

OBITUARY.

Mrs NINA NJ. NUCKOLS. wife OF r..
G. Nuck0ls, OF Hanover county, Va. de-
parted this life October 90 1850 in the
4lst year Of her life. In deep sorrow and
afiiiction that now saddens my heart, 1
must record the death OF my devoted
wife, which occurred 4 few weeks ago In
tho midst of her sOrely bereaved family.
Her sulferings Tor several months were
sometimes intense, but she bore them ell
with Christian fortitude and resignation.
She was ready and willing 10 obey her
Masters call, but was grieyed at the
thought Of temporal separation from her
husband and children. All that skilled
physicians, dear friends, and relations
could do was done, without avail. For
some years she suffered with some acute
trouble Of her head, and each recurring
attack became more and more severe.
until she was called away to the bosom
OF her loving Saviour. i'm whom she had
trusted since early life She was an az
fectionate wife, a careful and indulgent
mother, kind and generous neighbor to
those around her; her heart and hands
we're always willing 10 help forward the
Masters cause in any way she could. She
was true philanthropist. without guile
or deceit; she was no diplomat nor policy
woman; she rcbukcd sin and crime at all
times, whether In the palace OF the rich
or howell Of the poor: she encouraged
right and merit regardless OF the opin-
ions OF others; she would not tolerate
shams. deceits. or dishonesty. l married
her when she was 10 years or age: hence
forth she was the partner IN all my
trials. and adyersities. and victories OF
life. ill now when this tie Is broken. l
must now tread the wine-press alone
without her encouragement and wise
counsel-a sad requirement OF a better
life, unless the Christening rod shall draw
me closer 20 the Father that infiicts the
stripes She was a noble type OF old Vir-
ginia womanhood; the family circle 80
long intact Is now broken. and sadness
and gloom fills many homes and hearts;
may God. in His goodness and mercy.
dspel the midnight gloom that now hover
over our home. recently SO bright ana
