The Indian Duck Trick.

A little tin or earthen pan, or some.
times a cocoanut shell, supported on
three stones, is filled with water, on
which is sprinkled a red powder, rem
dering it practically Opaque. A little
duck of wood or porcelain is placed
upon the surface, where it at first floats.
but at the command of the performer
suddenly dives. remaining submerged
until again ordered to rise. This very
ingenious trick depends upon the fact
that in the bottom of the vessel there
is a minute hole, through which passes
a hair. One end of this is attached to
the duck; the other remains at the dis
posal of the performer, and is attached,
by means of pellet of wax, to his TOM
tom or to one of the hands with which
he beats it. When he wishes the duck
to dive he pulls the hair; when he de-
sires it to rise he relaxcs the pull.
There is naturally some amount of leak
age through the pin-hole, and to cover
this the performer takes care, when fill
ing the pan, to accidentally (l) spill a
little water. The ground being thus al
ready wctted. the fact that it gets lit
lie more is not noticed.-Chambers's
Journal.

GO HE different manners by which
people meet death are peculiar.
- When an engine boiler blows up
without scratching the engineer, and
when the prick from needle causes
death In few days, one has reason to
wonder.
Blanche Young, OF Wabash, Ind, was
the victim OF a needle point. In sewing
she stuck the point deep In her finger,
but continued with her work. The pol
sonous fabrics caused the injured men,
Der to swell terribly. Blood poison de-
veloped and she died In agony.
Edgar i. Seeger, Chicago travelling
man, carelessly picked plmple, which
appeared on his face, with a pin ut
Ithaca, \. Y, and died shortly from
blood poison.
Within a week the dentists chair cost
three lives In more or less direct way
At Sioux City, Iowa, the filling of q
tooth caused a stroke Of apoplexy TO
DR.. Adelaide Il. Kilbourne, and she
died as she was leaving the chair. At
Loyal, Wis. an aching tooth drove Kim
bal j. Berry to dentist. 1t was q mo-
lar, far back in the jaw, and was so
firmly rooted that in the pulling of 1t
the jaw bone was fractured. Blood pol
son set In, killing the patient in few
days. In Chicago the other day Miss
Mamie Ferry, OF Oak Park, died from
fear Of the dentists chair, TO which she
was going.
Little Barbara Bothman. Of Jackson,
Miss, was the victim Of the acorn. She
complained OF pains in her side and
was obliged TO submit to an operation.
In the appendix the acorn WIS found,
much enlarged from the heat and moist
ure. The child swallowed 1t at play,
She died from the operation.
Lloyd Rogers, of Galesburg ILL.,, got

English covonevs.

a novel point of international interes,
has arisen at Southampton.
The American warship Chicago had
been lying off Neitley for some days, ant
at S o'clock one morning a member oil
her crew was found unconscious in {
boat lying alongside. He was lifted or
deck. and died soon afterward. Thu
ships doctor made post-mortem exam.
ination, and an inquiry was held or
board, with the result that, so far a.
those on the vessel were concerned. tn,
cause of death was satisfactorily made
out.
An officer went ashore, and arranged
for funeral, with full naval honors, ii
Southampton Cemetery. A handsome
coffin was ordered, and florists were
commissioned to prepare some Lowell,
wreaths. Vixen the registrar of death.
was called upon difficulty arose. HI
felt that he could not accept the certisi.
cate Of death, which was signed by the
ships doctor, not only because, said the
registrar, it was not made out by q reg.
istered medical practitioner, but also be-
cause death was not the result of natural
causes. He therefore, referred the Am
erican officer to the coroner.
The coroner was then seen, and he said
that as soon as the body was landed !.
came within his jurisdiction, and il
would be his duty to hold an inquest. To
this the representative of the ship de-
INJURED. pointing out that the deceased
was not British subject, and that /.
was not an English vessel, nor even q
merchantmen.
The coroner cited English law, and
was answered with quotations from the
American naval regulations. The argu.
ment was pursued in perfect good TEN.
per, but neither side would give way
and the position was the more compli.
Gated because the ship was due to sail ir
few hours.
Eventually the grand funeral wa.
abandoned, and the vessel left at the an.
pointed tire with the mans body on
board.
When the vessel had steamed beyond
the threc-mile limit the body was com.
mitted to the deep.-London Mail.

EDUCATION IN ENGLAND.
Great Progress Has Been Made In the
Last Fifty Years.

But what of the mass of the people !
What is education, or what passes for
such, doing for them? 1t is more than
fifty years since in England the first
faint-hearteh steps were taken by the
state toward the instruction of its citi-
zens-a duty UP TO that time aban-
doned TO private enterprise and the strife
OF religious parties. 1t is nearly thirty
years since the nation, in the education
act of 1870. for the first time set its hand
to manage its own schools and inaugu-
rated partially national system Of edit
cation. The schoolrnaster has since
been abroad throughout the land, will,
the result that almost every one can
read and write. and the entry "his" or
cher mark" in marriage register, once
almost the rule. is now rare exception.
BY slow degrees, through many fail
tires and mistakes. in spite of political
and theological obstruction, our educa-
ton authorities have evolved a system
of elementary instruction which OH pa
per leaves little to be desired. We have,
in fact. the raw material for a first-rate
system OF national education, and all
that is wanted. in the words of a re-
cent writer on the subject. is to make
it national and to make il educational.
How this is TO be done we do not now
inquire. But it is worth while to ask
what has been or is being done-what is
the effect of all this educational activ-
i,y upon the intellectual tastes and rec
reations OF the people?
Our laborer or artisan is not yet a
literary or even a cultivated person, nor
is il either likely that he will be, or nec-
essary that he should be. But education
is slowly widening his intellectual hori-
zon and giving him few sips OF the
Picrian spring. The machinery for Civ
ing him sucl, mental cultivation as he is
capable of is all there. and only needs to
be more intellgently applied. and for
a longer period. When more enlight-
encd public opinion. and the influence
and example OF his employers and So
cial superiors point the way, he may be-
gin to see that it is worth his while to
continue learning after he is twelve or
thirteen years old. He is now the DOM
inant factor in politics. His vote can
make and unmake ministries. States
men of whatever political party must
give or profess to give him what lie

Rabbit Had q Peculiar Gait.

There is sportsmans club on one OF
the lakes OF Sullivan County, and thither
came a new member last month for his
first shooting. The old members talked
enthusiastically Of the excellent sport 10
be had shooting rabbits by moonlight.
The new one was very anxious to try Il.
After dinner the old-timers offered to
take him out. One volunteered to stay
by the new man so that he should not be
lost, and two took their places on log
where they could overlook the edge OF
a marsh. After awhile there was a stir
in the bushes and some gray thing moved
across the open space. The new man
saw it first.
It's yours" said the old-timer. "You
saw it, and we make it n rule here to
never interfere with another mans
game"
So the new member fired shot from
his repeating gun. The object kept on
moving. Bang, bang, bang" roared the
gun until its magazine was empty.
Now there was a rushing of feet and
the other hunters came on the scene.
Their questions were numerous. The
new mans answers were indefinite. He
had seen something and had emptied his
gun at it. 1t had looked like a rabbit,
"but." he added, lit had blamed queer
gait"
The old members went with the new
man TO look for his game. They were
present when ne picked up an old shot
