Queer People" By William Henry $1; Street & Smith, New York. For sale
 by the Pease-Lewis Co.
 This is a collection of unusually clev- CT stories by our townsman Prof.
 Bishop of Yale, the most important of which is a delightful sketch of a Bow cry boy who is picked up by fashion, able lady. His attempts to reform and live respectable are pitiable. There are few such chequered lives as that of the "brownstone boy" who is, in turn, sea- man, drummer, actor, lecturer, druggist and reporter. This character is as much a type as "Chimmie Fadden, except that he talks in more presentable English. Some of his stories are excruciatingly funny, some are pathetic, but there is breeziness about the boy that makes one overlook his wrongdoings and see only the sunny heart behind it all. Nothing seems to upset the optimism of the youngster, although fate ruth lessly turns him down. His patroness is a lady who boasts home in the fashionable section of New York, hence the appellation of "brown-stone boy" which CllngS to the nero or MT. BlShOp'S little story. But there are other stories deserving of notice in the book. "A Little Dinner" deals with the at tempt of an ambitious woman to hide from enquiring friends the fact that she is not over prosperous.

From the Washington Star.
A ball of beeswax introduced into the
she'll of a living fresh water mussel
has resulted in producing the most re-
markable artificial pearl in existence.
1t is about an inch and a half in
length, oval in form and pink in color,
and is now the property of the Smith
sonian Institution
The ball of wax was placed near the
hinge of the bivalve, which, being kept
in a tank of fresh water, was carefully
watched. The irritation of the wax
caused the mollusk to protect itself
by coating the foreign object with a
smooth coating of pearl stuff-the
same material as that which is used
in lining the inner surface of its shell.
In the case in question the result was
an enormous pearl. Owing to press
ure, however, the wax ball lost its
spherical shape and became oval in
form.
At the end of two years the mussel
was taken out of the tank and opened.
and the pearl removed. The wax after
ward contracted, owing to dryness,
accident, while destroying the COM
mercial value of the pearl. made ii
possible to observe the thickness of the
nacreous covering, which is somewhat
greater than that of an ordinary sheet
of letter paper. If the pearl were not
hawed IL would be worth an enormous
sum of money, but even as il is it is
Sriceless as a curiosity.

MOMENTOUs HAND-sHAkING.
But for It's Effect, Says n Senator
New Mexico Would be n state.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Senator Patterson declares that a
handshake once prevented statehood
for New Mexico, and he does not hes
itate to tell just how and when. Sen
ator Elkins administered the hand
shake. and Senator Burrows of Michi-
gan was the possesser of the hand
shaken. Elkins is senator from West
Virginia and Burrows from Michigan,
but the time they were members of
the House. 1t was in the Forty-thrd
Congress. Elkins though born in
Chic was reared and educated in
Missouri, and is a graduate of the
State University. After he graduated
he went to New Mexico to practice
law. and it was not so very long be-
fore he was sent as the delegate in the
Congress of the territory.
Elkins was younger then than he is
now. but he showed signs of that tai
ent for the management of men and
affairs which has since made him a
wealthy man and one of the quiet
though powerful influences in the Sen
ate. He got up statehood bill and
had great success with it in the Sem
ate end of the Capitol. He felt sure
he would be able to get it approved in
the House of Representatives. He
might If Burrows, who was then
member and sat but few seats away
from the then delegate from New Mex
leo, had not made a speech. Bur-
rows spoke on the Force bill. 1t was
a notable effort and the one which
brought him into prominence, an eff
fort which he has never again equall
ed and perhaps never will. The subject
under discussion was the conduct of
nlnnfinnG hnfnro
Elkins had completed a canvass of
the House for his statehood measure,
and found the Democratic members
disposed to help him out with it. He
had pledges from enough of them to
assure favorable action. He listened to
the speech of Burrows. Burrows
waved eloquent. Elkins grew interest
ed. Burrows grew pathetic in the pic
| lures he drew of negro oppression in
| the South. Elkins waXed sympathetic.
| Elkins leaned forward in his seat and
devoured the Michigander with his
eyes. The Michigander, noting the
attention of his colleague. addressed
himself almost directly to Elkins in
! the brilliant poetic peroration. The
chamber sat silent, and as the last
| words of Burrows rang against it's
/ historic walls and Burrows had fin

enthusiasm, congratulating him on his

realized its spontaneous sincerity. Not

spell of oratory and settled back in his
seat before notes began arriving from
/ the Democratic side asking that he
alter his canvass of the House and
omit the writer's from his poll of those

quote, unfortunately, but many read
ers must be familiar with a puzzle so
often cited. In brief Mr.. Fisher met
an Indian whose language he did not
know, and asked him, by signs, wheth-
er he had passed six OK wagons with
three American and three Mexican
teamsters, and a man on horseback.
The question was put, and the infor-
nation given, as we are assured, not
less quickly than by word of mouth
Doubtless the story is true, or near
enough, and when one knows the an
swer the gestures detailed are perfect
ly ineligible. An Indian could not
fail to understand exactly what was
wanted. But If we study them thought
fully it becomes clear that they are
conventional Every native of the
prairies might comprehend. but not
savages in general. even though they
followed the same manner of life.
A Bushman, for instance, is perfectly
familiar with OK wagons. and mounted
men, and teamsters of varied national

The Only Means of COmmu nication
Common to All Mankind.

From the New York Evening Post
The language of signs is commonly
regarded as the natural means of COM
munication among mankind. Its vocab-
ulary. so to say, is limited,
no doubt; but, so far as 1t
goes. every human being can
understand what it means. Animals
have similar means of communication,
Ineligible among themselves, and to
us also in some measure. So, at least,
1t seems to those who have not travel
ed much in wild countries or have not
observed closely. But. in fact, the
language of signs is almost as arti-
flcial as that of words. There may be
certain gestures which have the same
significance for all races of men, but
they are few.
We should not feel confident that
pointing finger to the open mouth
would be understood by every tripe of
would be understood by every tribe of
few would certainly misunderstood
the gesture of putting out the tongue
to mean thirst. Motions which we
think instructive prove to be merely
conventional. a heritage from number
less generations in Europe. not COM
mon to humanity at large. Surely a
smile must be the natural sign of
ments. But Capt. Cook reported that
when New Zealanders met a friend,
after long separation. they 'joined
noses for half an hour, then sobbed
and howled most dolefully."
Missionaries have confirmed this
statement. When Mr. Marsden re-
turned to his flock they greeted him
with floods of tears and wailing as If
for the dead. In fact that was the ma
tiOnal mode of EXPRESSING n iOvOuS
recognition. And the Maories were
not the only people who thus defied
the laws of nature. as we think When
Drake visited California the Indians
received them with delighted rever-
ence. Says his chaplain and chron-
icler:
They raised kind of most lament
able weeping and crying out. which
continued a great while together; the
women especially extending their
voices in a most miserable doleful
manner of shrieking."
Chiefs came from a distance to be-
hold the wondrous strangers. and at
each arrival the women. as if they
had been desperate, used unnatural
violence against themselves, crying
and shrieking piteously. tearing their
flesh with their nails. and also their
cheeks in a monstrous manner" The
Babissa negroes wished to show that
they were glad to see Livingstone
again: so they threw themselves on
their backs. clapped their hands. and
made "a rather inelegant kissing. !"
Evidently a smile is not the universal
token of welcome. II is very well
known that the Chinese beckon by
Ringing the band outward instead of
drawing II towards the body. as we do;
one negro tribe at least does the same.

also-that is of his own. But we ven
ture to say that he would understand
the question as Mr. Fisher put it. Thus
it cannot properly be said that the
language of signs is a natural means
of communication for humanity at
large unless in a very narrow sense
Its significance is limited to certain
tribes or groups of tribes, as spoken
language is. But there are savages,
not very low down in the scale, who
cannot do without it. Burton was
ridiculed for declaring that the Rapa-
hos had to sit by the fire in order to
talk at night. But Miss Kingsley made
the very same remark. When 1 was
with the Fans they frequently said
We will go to the fire, so that we can
see what they say -

Norfolk. Va, April 2S-Capt. Nc
Donald of the United States collier
Sterling, which arrived at this port
to-day reports that about O'Clock on
Saturday morning, April 26, in lati-
tude 1880 north, and longitude 72.24
west, he sighted the wreck of the
schooner B. r. Woodside. The vessel
was a total wreck and was drifting
helplessly about. Her masts were gone,
with the exception of the foremost and
jibboom.
No signs of the crew of the schooner
were visible and nothing is known as
to their fate. 1t is supposed from the
appearance of the vessel that they
were all washed overheard and
drowned during the heavy gales which
prevailed.
Capt. Mcdonald tried to set fire to
the vessel so as to remove her from
the path of passing vessels, but found
it impossible to do so. Her decks were
awash, and she is a helpless derelict.

session here to-day. About $50 dele
gates were present, most of whom were
from the Mississippi Valley and east

represent interests aggregating over
$3.50, 600, 900.
The morning session was given to
addresses of welcome and the after
noon session to the reading of reports
by the president and secretary. Presi-
dent Thornton's annual address was
devoted chiefly to demonstrating that
the cotton seed oil industry deserves
a higher commercial rating, and he
urged that those present demand rec
ognition on a higher basis for their in
dustry.
The secretary's and treasurer's re-
port discussed the development of the
association from its organization at

TO its present membership of $50, and
showed a prosperous condition.
