IMMIGRATION BILL CHANGED.
Chief Features Eliminated Before Ac.
ton by House.

. Washington. June ~ Under a rule
limiting debate on all but two sections
the immigration bill was discussed for
three hours in the house and passed
without yea and nay vote being per-
mitted on any Of the paragraphs. E
This bill attracted much attention,
the representatives having large for
eign colonies in their districts lining
up generally against the head tax Of
IS, which was defeated, and against
the educational test. :' IS. B. A
After a very interesting contest a
substitute for the educational test,
providing that the whole matter be
submitted to a commission, was
adopted by a close vote .5 {,

Finest Mental Drfllmaster the World
Has Ever Known.
When the Romans placed over the
door Of the temple Of Janus Eek ORR
ente Lux ct Ludus Scacchorum" (Out
Of the East Came Light and the Game
Of Cness) they spoke Of the two great
est requests that the stored east had
ever made to the young and aggressive
west-the light Of religion and the
greatest mental achievement of man
since he came through Eden's frown-
ing portals.
In the middle ages, when the monks
and abbots watched from afar the bru-
tai so,diery of Christendom swooping
down like a pestilence on the sunny
plains Of the south, they chanted "A
furore Norrnanorum liberia nos, o Dom
inc" From the fury of the North
men deliver us, o Cod and returned
to chess-all that was left noble soul
in vain and turbulent world.
Chess is the finest mental drillmaster
the world has ever known. As a mind
trainer it ranks above Greek and dia-
lectics.
But, above all, it is the science Of bat
tie; It is war without bloodshed; it is
strife on equal terms, which all the
race loves and to which from the cradle
to the grave all mortality is subject

SOFT CRABS.

After Shedding the New Shells Hard
en- With Great Rapidity.
The supply of soft crabs for market
Is obtained by catching hard crabs and
keeping them until they shed their
shells. For this purpose large rec
tangular floats, made of laths and
planking, are employed, and three or
four times every day the stock on hand
is carefully inspected, all the soft
crabs being picked out and packed
without delay. They are put into shall
low boxes of moist seaweed. from ten
to thirty-five dozen in a box, according
to the size of the animals. When the
packing is done carefully the occu-
pants may be kept alive from sixty to
seventy hours after leaving the water.
Crabs have been shipped all the way
from the Chesapeake to Canada, arriv-
ing at their destination in good cOndi-
tiOn In summer, of course, ice is used.
But where soft crabs are concerned
it is necessary that they shall reach
the market quickly, because their new
shells harden with great rapidity.
At the end of twelve hours the shells
are like parchment, and in three or
four days the crab is as hard as ever
hence unfit for use in the form most
highly approved by epicures.-New
York Herald.

The Prim Dutch Girl.

The etiquette of Holland is exceeding
ly strict in all classes. The young girl is
most carefully chaperoned, and she
never goes anywhere, even to church,
unless accompanied by her parents,
some male relative or other equally
trusted attendant. At a dance the
parents sit round the walls slipping
their coffee or wine, and the young
men must make the best Of their
chances i'll the opportunities afforded
by the dance, for when it pleases the
guardians to depart there is no help
for it, the girls must 60 too. An I'M
married girl always takes the right
arm of her escort, while the matrOn
takes the left. perhaps because it is
nearer the heart.

Long and Short Days.

At Hamburg, Germany, the longest
day occupies seventeen hours and the

den, the longest has eighteen and a
half hours and the shortest five and a
half. At st. Petersburg the longest has
nineteen and the shortest five hours.
In Finland the longest has twenty
one and a half hours. In the north
ernmost parts of Norway the longest
day lasts from May Fl to July 2, the
sun not sinking below the horizan dur
ing this period, but skimming along
very close to it in the north. At Spit
bergen the longest day lasts three
months and q half.

An Example,.

One of the most Intimate friends of
NJ. Dumas fills was retired naval Of
ficer who lived in a distant corner of
Normandy. AS soon as the author of
Camille died the officer went over
all the letters which he had received
from Dumas and destroyed every one
which referred to any private affairs Of
the author. Where letters also con-
tained literary and philosophical dis
cussions he carefully blotted out the
personal parts in order that nothing
OF a personal nature might ever reach
publisher. This Is an example not
often followed.

AVOIDING the Doctor.

Dr.. SandersOn, an old Scotch ply
sician, was a queer character. but a
clever doctor.
So roughly did he handle his patients
that the ignorant were chiefly anxious
to escape him. The story goes that as
he was passing along the street one
day a sweep rolled from the top to the
bottom Of a staircase outside one OF
the houses.
Are you hurt?" called the doctor,
running forward.
"Not q bit, doctor-not bit" replied
the man in haste. Indeed, l feel q

hollands Continuous Performance
In Preventing Floods.
Holland is a country of wooden piles
and bikes. for the people are perpetu-
ally fighting against the encroach-
ments of water. One building In Am
sterdam rests on no fewer than 1869
piles, though the bikes around the
town. which have been erected at enor-
nous expense. effectually prevent any
chance Of a flood. The streets of the
Aourishing port of Rotterdam even are
frequently under water in the winter.
and In some parts of south Holland
the people are compelled to do their
shopping in boats.
When the Zuyder Zee breaks on to
the land. those who wade up to their
knees along the streets Of a flooded
village meet all manner of fish. This
is explained by the fact that the Zuy-
der Zee. with it's mud bottom. is liter
ally crammed with finny tribes; and
one authority states that If it were
we'll scraped of all its fish one year.
it would be full again the next.
The land of Holland is really of four
distinct levels. and from ten to twelve
feet between the highest and the low
est. To make the land dry, the water
Is pumped from the lowest level to the
one Immediately above it, and so on.
until the water has been returned
again to the sea. A large number Of
engineers are specially engaged to look
after the bikes, and no less sum than
$2,5OO,OOO is expended every year In
keeping these Notifications against the
sea in proper repair.

lost and found cases there is no rec
ogn1zed percentage of reward, but in
England there is such percentage.
namely, half a crown to a pound; that
is to say, about 10 per cent. Ten per
cent is what the finder must be paid

have to do before the Scotland Yard

pared to give at least 10 per cent to

the phrase special privilege" has been
used commonly to signify right, i'm
munity or benefit enjoyed by person
