safe from the seas where the solemn

And captain and sailors are singing of

And fairly they twinkled far Ger the white

Oh. ship. safe in harbor for all the LONG

Are you freighted with love-are you

The glove industry in Austria has
shown a remarkable growth within
the past few years. In 1880. the total
production of gloves within the en-
pire was about 100000 dozens; in 1897
it had risen to 1.750,000 dozens. and
at the present time it is not far from

The post Office authorities Of Cape
Colony have tried automobiles as .
means of collecting mails. and found
them unsatisfactory. Now in the
more remote districts ON the edge OF
the Kalahari desert, they employ
camels as mail transport. and find

carts.
The Trans-Siberian railroad offers
the cheapest travelling in the world.
The Russian government. in order to
encourage emigration to that colony.
has made remarkably low rates. For
instance, a ticket from Russia to
Toblosk only costs $1.1c, and from
that point to any city in Siberia the
fare is only $2.25. That is to say. it
is possible to travel 5000 miles for the
sum of $3.37.

An interesting rural custom is cele-
brated in the pretty Derbyshire vii
lage of Tissington, just prior to the
Whitsun festival. This is known far
and wide as Tissington well dressing.
The tradition is that once upon .
time there was = great drought In
the land, when pastures were burned
bare, robust rivers wasted to q trickle,
and there was suffering from want
of water. But to the very end of this
rainless time the five wells of Tis-
sington ran full and clear. So the
grateful villagers one day dressed the
wells with flowers and marked it rs
a holiday for all time. The custom
is very old.

The search for convenient ways Of
transportation by which the products
OF the Sudan may reach the outer
world has called attention to remark
able phenomenon of vegetable life on
some Of the head waters and tribu-
taries of the Nile. This consists Of
enormous growths of papyrus and
other plants, completely covering the
streams and forming carpets of ve9e-
sation two or three feet thick, beneath
which flows the water. Navigation bv
small boat is, of course. entirely inter-
rupted by this obstruction, which is in
places supplemented by vines and
clinging plants which arch the streams
from bank to bank. Heavy floods occa-
sionally sweep away the accumulations
Of plants, but they are quickly re-
formed.-Youth's Companion.

ASIATICS AND ENGLISH.
There II Much Ill Feeling Manifest.
ed by OrientaIs Towards
EuRopeans.

The manners of the European al-
ways strike the Asiatic as plebeian.
He expects in an equal or superior,a
kind of smoothness which few Euro
peans possess, and which they never
display in their intercourse with the
colored races. whose want of frank
ness, and tendency to be deferential,
and general failure to secure the re-
suits which Europe desires, slightly
irritate them. The Asiatic thinks that
want of frankness is essential to po-
liteness, is always reserved unless he in
tends to be insolent, and looks upon
familiarity, especially if there is any
difference Of grade, as offensive, pre-
suming, and in q word, rude. Very
few Europeans appear to him to be
gentlemen, and those few only when
they are not familiar, says the London
Spectator.
The Europeans laugh, in especial,
is to him as disagreeable as the laugh
of the uncultivated is to the refined
European, and European "chaff." per-
sifage, humor. is to him absolutely
uncomfortable. It is, he thinks, the
very quintessence of vulgarity, and
reminds him perpetually that he is
being civil or submissive to one who
is essentially, when the mask is on.
barbarian. This feeling, which is
universal and incurable, greatly in
creases his sense of his opponents
stupidity, which again is deepened by
his perception that the opponent is
fettered in using his intellect by all
manner of nonintellectual restrictions.
is apt, for example, to resent a cruel
or immoral suggestion. does not en-
ploy falsehood when falsehood clear
~ would be convenient. and does not
detect falsehood if it is plausible as
quick-witted man should.
Long observation has convinced US
that the Asiatic who lies to the Euro
pean despises the European SO much
for accepting the falsehood that he
often, out Of sheer contempt, makes
his falsehood less artistic than he
could. Anything. he thinks, will do
for mind SO dense as that. He Is
vexed, too, when his lie is too rough.
'y exposed: vexed. not as an ordinary
European is, because he has been de-
tected. but as diplomatist is vexed
when his smooth arguments are not
put aside as smoothly. He ought not
to be told that he is lying, but only
to be shown as lightly as may be that
the falsehood has not succeeded. Any
other conduct he classes as the result
of ill-mannered. not to say brutal. stu
pidity, and despises in his heart as
the gentleman despises the scoiding
Of the rough.

Both the vessels are old Atlantic

The one drawback to the scheme is
the slow work made OF coaling at
