proprietor oe the Klondyke Hotel OF
Hattiesburg, was visitor to Mobile
yesterday. He was surprised, and did
not fail to so state, at the size and
enterprise of this city. 1t is his first
visit to this city since the completin
of the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas
City railroad, and for many years be-
fore his pilrgimages were to and be-
yond New Orleans, so while he had
been informed that Mobile was an ex-
cellent place he did not make sure of
it till yesterday. He said last even
ing, however, that in the future he
should make it point to do good
deal of his business here, as he found
the prices very favorable and the
transportation facilities even better
than he could hope TO get at home.

Down through the meadows we come
to the playground of the poet Shelley,
where the old mill still stands, it's
grinding stones propped against Its
sides, quietly registering the fight of
time. Swans glide to and fro upon the
pond or rest upon it's edge. Black and
white rabbits scurry across the wood
ed paths. Fantailed pigeons disport
upon the lawn. In the tall grass tiny
fawns feign sleep, while furtively
watching with half closed eye, and
everywhere the mischievous emu
stalks about in conscious pride Of his
importance in this strange land.
Being a special aversion of the game
keepers this bird takes apparent de-
light in annoying him in every way.
Prying about until he finds choice
nest of pheasant's eggs, he dispatches
the dainty morsels instantly, thereby
destroying the hopes of both keeper
and hen. Every effort to break him OF
this pernicious habit has been unsuc-
cessful. Once the keeper resolved upon
a plan which he thought would with
out doubt prove effectual. Having
hard boiled number of eggs, he car
ried them in steaming hot water to the
field and placed them before the ever
ready emu. Much to his surprise, the
dished seemed to appeal strongly to
the voracious appetite of the bird, for
in a twinkling they were gone, SEEM
ing look of wonder accompanying his
grateful appreciation of this unusual

Profanity In Europe.

The most ordinary conversation in
Spain is rarely carried on without oaths
being interpolated, and invocations Of
saints and expressions which border on
swearing are common even on the lips
Of ladies'. Spanish workmen do not I'M
derstand an order unless it is delivered
to them with strong garnishing Of
profanity; masters swear at their serv-
ants, ladies at their children, school,
masters at their scholars and officers at
their men. 1t must be remembered that
all over the continent profanity is more
common than in England. In Germany
even it is not uncommon to hear school
masters swear at the Toys, state of
things unheard Of and impossible here,
while both in France and Italy Oaths
are taken as matter of course and
applied equally to man and beast. At
the same time it should be remembered
that most continental "cuss words"
are not taken so seriously as ours

A HumOrist on Marriage.

Marriage, if not carried to excess, is
a wise provision and sacred obligation.
Marry your opposite as far as possible,
especially as regards sex. You will new
err regret it. If possible, marry above
your station. Both of you should do
this; it is sure to advance your race.
DO not marry foreigner unless highly
recommended by those in whom you
have perfect confidence or unless you
want to very much indeed. Do not en-
courage long engagements. 1t is better
to get weary of each other at your lei
sure after marriage than to do it be-
forehand. COurtship, however, is a
most delightful industry and should not
be rashly broken in upon by marriage.
Some people seem to be admirably fit
ted for suitors, but fail in other occu-
pations. This is very fortunate indeed.
No sutton can be sure of a permanent
situation. The supply greatly exceeds
the demand.

"Ich dien," the motto which belongs
to the Prince of Wales, is usually
translated Il serve" and tradition has
it that it was taken by the Black
Prince from the royal helmet of the
blind king of Bohemia. who was killed
on the field of Crecy. 1t is a notable
fact, however. that the late DR.. Will
liam lime, professor of English litera-
ture at Heidelberg. rejected this the
DRY. He held that the motto was of
Welsh origin and took it's rise at the
time when Edward l. presented his
newborn eldest son to the Welsh chief
tains at Carnarban castle as their fu-
ture sovereign. He held the child up
in his arms and exclaimed in Welsh,
"Eich dyn,' meaning this is your
man." The explanation is accepted by
many antiquarians.

The principle Of the arch may be said
to pervade the construction OF the hui
man skeleton. The late Professor Owen
points this out very clearly. telling NJ
that in man the skeleton is arranged
in series Of segments. which follow
and articulate with each other in the
direction of the axis of the body from
above downward.
This principle accounts for the
strength and yet comparative lightness
Of the whole fabric. From the dome
