AMERICAN MANNERS.
Ara Muob Beater Than the Average
Britasher of London HES
Amy Idea OF.

The ordinary Londoner who has
not had the good fortune to cross
the Atlantic is wont to picture ms
American cousin wearing goatee
and a victim to the constant chewing
of tobacco and liberal expectoration.
On arriving in New York he Is
amazed to discover that the goatee
is conspicuous by its absence, tobac-
co chewing unnoticeable and ex-
pectoration practically unknown. In
this respect he finds the New Yorker
far more clearly in his habits than
the Londoner, more especially Oh
public cars and in public places, says
an eastern exchange. The unre-
strained indulgence Of splitting on
and off the tops of buses and IN ran
way trains, and the random chewing
and smoking of tobacco IN ana
around London are simply odious'
and make travelling intolerable ana
ofttimes disgusting even to smok-
er. Here the strange prohlbltloh
against splitting in public places ana
the sensible regulation as to smok-
ing are so thoroughly observed that
travelling becomes n pleasure. ii
London would only copy the most ad-
mirable example existing in New
York in this respect the English
metropolis would soon be rid OF
most unwarrantable and filthy habit

A BLIND GIRLS POWER.
She Detects Absence of Flow RS from

She Enters.

There is wealthy young woman
living in Philadelphia, says the Times,
who has the misfortune to be blind.
When travelling as a young girl she
contracted Roman fever in Italy and
lost her sight. She is the only living
member of her immediate family now,
and occupies a handsome house in the
residence part of the city. She has a
companion who seldom leaves her, but
the ability she shows for conducting
her own affairs in spite of her misfor-
tune is wonderful. Her remaining
senses are marvelously acute, and it
seems to people who are not well &C.
quainted with her almost uncanny her
cognizance of everything going on
around her. On one occasion recently,
when her companion was away at dim
ner time, the butler either by intent
or carelessness, failed to place flowers
on the dining table, according to his
custom. If he expected to evade the
duty he was mistaken. The mistress
of the house had hardly entered the
dining-room when she discovered the
omission. James" she said, you
have forgotten the flowers tonight"

INSTINCT OF A MOTHER.

ern Cattle Herd.

II might seem trlt where half a
dozen herds were mingled together, it
would be impossible toselect the calves
belonging TO particular owner with
any degree Of accuracy, says +. Mayo,
writing on "Beef" in Leslie's Monthly,
that in the roundup they would be-
come hopelessly mixed But all this
is obviated by a very simple rule. which
is that the calf belongs to the cow
that claims it, and consequently to the
concern whose brand she bears. Long
experience has taught the cattlemen
that the calf may mistake it's mother
sometimes, but the COW her offspring
never. or course, in these days of wire
fences when the free riders OF the
range are degenerating to the rank OF
the eastern "hired man." and each
"bunch" is kept to its own territory,
there is small occasion for the exer-
else OF this test; but in the old days Of
the open range it worked perfectly,

CHINA MAKING PROGRESS.

Europeans and Americans who nave
lived long in China are quite unani-
nous in the opinion that the greatest
country Of Asia taking account OF
area, population and natural resources,
is making steady progress industrial
~ and commercially. and the general
belief is that more rapid gains are as
s,lred for the next few years. Stats
ties Of exports and imports tell the
same story. SO does the development
Of railways and telegraph lines. The
world wide Importance Of this progress
is not easily exaggerated Itpromises

prctexts as might have been discovered

HAD A CHINESE NAME.
Archibald Was Called Archie ana tho
Monaghan Thought 1t Was
"Ah Chez"

In the household of a prominent Bos-
tonian is a Chinese servant who was
brought east by the family several
years ago from California, where he
had ingratiated himself during win
ter sojourn at Pasadena.
Recently a young man named Archl-
bald has been visiting the family, and
the Chinaman seemed to take strange
fancy to him. He is called Archie for
short, and every time the name OF
Archie was mentioned the Monaghan
would grin and beam at the guest with
a pride that seemed little less than
paternal. That it was at least frater-
nal was disclosed one day, when he
said: "Why for you have name alice
samee like Chinaman" Archibald
was rather taken back. what do you
mean?" he asked. "Why, you name,'
replied the Chinaman, according to the
Philadelphia Record. when they
talkee to you they callee you All Chee!"

THE STUDY OF CHINESE.
Advocated by United states ConsuIAF
Agent In the Interests A !.
American Trade.

Mr.. Charles Neuer, United States
consular agent at Gera, in an official
communication to the state depart
ment advocates the study Of the Chi
ncse language as a means of extending
American trade in the Chinese empire,
says the Washington Star. while
China is considered the land of prom
ise for our farmers and manufactur-
ers." saws he, THE Importance Of the
knowledge of the Chinese language is
greatly undervalued. submit the de-
tails of a recent interview with lin
guist who has given special attention
TO this subject. It Is well understood
that in order to enter into perman-
ent commercial relations with for
eign country it is indispensable to
know its language. When Russian in
dustries began to develop the Germans
recognized that in order TO engage in
profitable trade in that country it was
necessary to learn Russian, and there
is now no country where the Russian
language Is so much taught as in Ger
many.
"The Chinese language IS telegraph
ic. 1t conveys the idea and not the
word for the thing, as the figure 81 rep
resents the idea and not the word. The
Chinese have invented more than 49,
900 marks for their writing. In the
opinion Of my informant il will require
only about 5000 marks for mercantile
rorra.nonSan.e and IL will he ea Sier
10 learn them than the words Of IN
ordinary foreign language.
Russian is more difficult for Amer
leans than Chinese. IT. takes much
longer to learn the spoken language,
because Of the variety Of dialects: but
any one who can learn enough Of the
writings 10 answer ordinary purposes
in a few months and have his knowl-
edge perfected by a linguist within
about a year. An exact instruction in
one Of the Chinese languages can only
be given by Chinaman.
"This method has been adopted in
Germany. Besides the professor for
the theory Of language, there are four
Chinese linguists in the Oriental sem
mary Of Berlin teaching the business
tyle and the language Of Picking,
Shanghai and Canton. tits not intend
