Yulxaritx No irish Trait.

There are certain nations that have
the quality Of vulgarity strongly in the
blood, and indeed 1t seems to testify
to strong and full blooded vitality, q
desire for self assertion, and thus we
may expect to find vulgarity logging
like shadow the footsteps Of strong,
capable and pushing natlonallties But
there are certain nations that have
been accused of many faults that yet
have never been accused of being vul-
gar. The Irish are a case in point.
They have been accused of levity, Of
undue conviviality, of frivolity, Of a
tendency to romance, of untrustworthi-
ness, Of responsibility, but they have
never been accused Of vulgarity. There
lies deep in the Celtic temperament a
rich vein Of emotion, strong relish for
the melancholy side Of life. It Is on this
that their Incompatible sense of humor
Is based, and it may be said that no
one who feels at home with melancholy,
who luxuriates in the strange contrast
between the possibilities and the per-
formances Of humanity, is in any dan
ger Of vulgarity, for one Of the essen
tial components Of vulgarity Is COM
placent self satisfaction, and If man
is apt to dwell regretfully on what
might have been rather than cheerfully
upon what Is there is but little room for
complacency.-A. G. Benson In Atlantic

An Incident of Life In New Y

An Incident of Life In New York.
The street beggar with pockets lined
with money Is fairly familiar figure
Of city life, but one Of the free dis
pensaries reports an instances Of an
attempt to get free medicine on the
plea Of poverty that deserves a place
In the catalogue of good stories Of
graft. A middle aged woman ap-
peared the other day and got pre-
scription, after which she took her
place in the line Of persons waiting to
have their medicine made up by the
apOthecary. This particular woman,
it should be said, had given satisfac-
tory answers to all the questions put
to her designed to show whether she
was proper subject for charity. Sud-
denly there was cry: "I'm robbed!
I'm robbed!' The victim was this
woman, who so far forgot her previous
professions as to assert that her
pocket had been picked and that the
thief had got away with 800: Then
she lost the opportunity to get free
medicine, thus adding, in her view,
insult to 1njury.-New York Post.

MEN. AND WOMEN,
Il story OF ole Bull,

A curious tale of Ole Bull is told In
a book on violins and sviolinists. It
seems that In 1881, being then twenty
one years Of age, the famous violinist
wandered to Paris. The cholera was
raging and Malibran singing. He went
to hear her, and his landlord decamped
with his possessions, including his vio-
lin. He was speedily reduced to ex-
tremity. During the last dinner that
he was able to pay for he made the
acquaintance of remarkable man. To
this stranger Ole Bull confided his mis-
cries. At the conclusion the stranger
said abruptly, well, will do some.

"Then 60 to Frascati's tonight at 10

go into the second, where they play
rouge ct noir, and when new taille
begins put your francs on rouge and
leave it there" Bull did as directed,
and when his francs had become 400
he took them up after an episode with
a woman who attempted to take them.

Eskimo Throwing Sticks.

A throwing stick" Throwing
board" or 'spear thrower," as it is
sometimes called, is a continuance for
casting a javelin or harpoon, which Is
employed by various savage races,
such as the Australians, some South
American tribes and especially by the
Eskimos, among whom its use is al
most universal. Roughly speaking, it
is narrow grooved board foot or so
long, with one end cut into handle
and the. other provided with a stud or
spur for the butt Of the spear to rest
against. 1t is used thus: Grasping the
handle as he would a sword, the man
fits the shaft of the spear into the
groove, with the butt resting against
the stud, steadying the spear with the
finger. Then, extending his arm and
bending back his hand till the spear
lies horizontal. he aims at the mark
and propels tie weapon by quick
forward jerk Of the stick. In this way
have seen Eskimo boys casting their
forked javelins at wounded waterfowl.

The British Toastmaster


The British banquet differs from the
American only in that the chairman
presides, but does not keep order or
announce the toasts. That Is attended
to by professional POSTMASTER, who Is
large person with a volcanic voice.
While the guests are assembling he
stands at the doorway and announces
the names Of the arrivals, who are
then greeted by the chairman and
passed into the push. When the guests
are seated he takes up his station be-
hind the chair of the presiding officer
and commands order In these terms:
my lords and gentlemen, I pray you
silence We will now listen to the toast
to his imperial majesty the German
emperor, responded to by his excel
lency the lord chancellor" For the
rest the speeches drawl and drag, as
in New York, with now and then a
sparkle of wit or a flash of mental en-
ergy, usually from some unexpected
quarter. The turtle soup is no better
than ours. The POSTMASTER gets $40
for a nights work.-New York World.

George Washington died of disease
that was then called quinsy, but
which Is now known as acute laryngi-
tbs. His physicians treated him ac-
cording to their best light and knowl-
edge, but such treatment now would
be little short of criminal. An eminent
authority says that If medical men had
known as much then as they do now
the distinguished patient would proba-
bly, have been cured in a week. AS it
was, he slowly strangled to death by
the closing of his throat. At the pres.
ent time physicians treat case OF this
kind by racheotomy-tha is, by max
ing an opening into the windpipe,
through which the patient may breathe.
They also diagnose a case by using
the laryngoscope, which enables them
to look into the throat and see exactly
what the trouble is.

A Nice Distinction.

with sharp tongue. Jones had come
home about in the morning rather
the worse off for few highballs AS
soon as he opened the door his wife,
who was waiting for him In the accus-
toned place at the top of the stairs,
where she could watch his uncertain
ascent, started upbraiding him for his
conduct: Jones went to bed and when
he was almost asleep could hear her
still scolding him numerically He
dropped off to sleep and awoke after a
couple Of hours, only to hear his wife
remark, II hope all the women don't
have to put up with such conduct as

Turkeys Way of RAISING Reven,

Turkeys Way of Raising Revenue.
The land In all Turkey and her de-
tendencies belongs to the reigning sui
tan and Is only occupied at his will. It
Is divided among those who wish to
cultivate it at a nominal rental of one
fifth of the produce, which goes direct
~ to the crown. Three-fifths more are
taken from the lessee on other pre-
texts, all for the maintenance of the
government, the pasta in each district
having the authority to lease the
ground and collect the taxes which
may be. in kind or money. If crops are
short, they take four-ffths of all the
man has in animals and even in house
hold utensils, sometimes all his posses
sions, to make up the deficiency which
Providence has withheld. Everything
that can produce, be it tree, beast,
fowl, worm or the labor of a man aud
his family, Is subject to the four-ffths
tax. Those who toll at any labor OF
trade othe; than agriculture are taxed
also pro rata according to their wages
and must pay or. go to prison.-Pear-

CLAIMS ERHs.

The CLAIMS eggs are carried by the
mother on her gills.s When there are
fish In the water with them the mother
CLAIMS discharge the eggs which soon
hatch, but If there are no fish they
carry the eggs until they decay. The
reason Of this strange behavior is this:
When the eggs are set free in the
water they soon hatch and the little
ones swim about until they find some
fish to which to attach themselves.
They live for time on the mucus Of
the fish and then drop of, sink to the
bottom and form burrows for them
selves. This curious semiparasitic life
ls no doubt reversion to the habit Of
some ancient ancestor.

Diamond Mine Prisons,

Each of the great South African dia.
mOnd mines has it's several compounds,
where the Kaffirs are imprisoned. These
are Enclosures with walls sufficiently
high to prevent escape, and around the
walls Is a stretch of roofing sufficient
to prevent the inmates from tossing
diamonds to the outside to be picked
up by confederates. In the early days
the Kafirs used to throw diamonds
over the walls in tin cans, SO that their
wives or friends might come and pick
them up. When the Kaf1rs 60 to Kim
