Always The Politeness.

A Germantown woman was not long
ago watching a workman as he put up
new window fixtures in her house.
Don't you think that you have
placed these fixtures too high?" asked
she, having reference to the curtain
rolls Mast put in place.
The workman, a stolid German, made
no reply, but continued to adjust the
fixtures.
Didn't you hear my question:" de-
manded the lady of the house. How
dare you be so rude?
Whereupon the German gulped con-
vuIsively, and then replied in the gen.
tlest of voices:
81 hat my mouth full of schrews,
und l could not spheak till swallow
some" -Harper's Weekly,

FOLLOW HE DIRECTIONS.

II you want to be sturdy and healthy,
just follow advice that you see
Embeished In magazine features, Snd
you will get strong as can be.
You want to get up very early, or, better,
sleep late as you can.
Your breakfast should be of alfalfa, or
biscuit made wholly OF bran.
You take a cold bath on arising, or, II
you prefer it, quite warm;
A tub full of brine nearly boiling WlA
answer and do you no harm.
You hang by your teeth to the gas jet
and hook your knees over the door,
And jump up and swipe at the ceiling
and turn somersaults on the floor.
Be careful and not overdo it, and, when
you feel willing to stop,
Just keep on and you will be stronger
no matter how often you drop
Just follow Instructions they give you,
and though some may seem to be
wrong,
Don't mind it, but do as they tell you, If
you would be healthy and strong.

Old ENGLISH FAIR.

The Nottingham England goose
fair was held recently. This insti-
tuition, which is so old that his
torians confess themselves unable to
fix the date Of its origin, was for
merly devoted mainly to business,
and covered a period of nine days.
The volume of business dwindled in
modern times until in 1876 it was
decided that five days was quite
enough, and in 1880 the period was
further reduced to three days. The
fun Of the fair, however, grew with
the decline Of business, and now it
is almost the whole thing. Farm
animals are still sold on the out
skirts Of the city, but the extensive
market-place is given over wholly to
shows and amusements.

FEAST AFTER THEIR FAST.
Worshipers of Islam in the observ-
anee of Ramazan.

The worshipers Of Islam are at
present in the full swing of alter
nate fasting and feasting. During
the day, from sunrise to sunset, they
do not partake Of any food and
drink, and strictly abstain from
smoking. AS soon, however, as the
thunder of cannons announces at
different parts Of the metropolis that
the sun has set and that the twelfth
hour Of the day, according to Mos
lem time division, has struck, the
feasting begins. Then the faithful
Osmanli tries to make up for the re-
s%trictions and restraints of the day.
As Ramazan is now falling when the
days are comparatively short his
fasting is less trying than when the
movable month happens to occur in
summer. All the quarters peopled
by Turks, which are at night at
other times of the year perfectly des-
olate and quiet, take during the
nights Of Ramazan a different as
pect. Especially is this the case in
Stambul, the heart of the Mussul-
mar population. All the streets are
then crowded with people. : Groups
OF yelled women are seen at every
turn. Music resounds in differ
ent corners, and near the famous
Shah-za-de Mosque theaters of
every description, from the national
Kara-Gheuz to a French cafe chan
tant, display in every possible degree
their skill and ability to attract and
amuse the passers by. All the
mosques and houses are brightly il
lumined, and in the latter the mem
bers of the family, the servants,
and eunuchs included, enjoy
the pleasure Of the chief night meal.

FOR NICKEL STEEL RAIL-
Bethlehem Company Would Make
Railroad TraUel Safer.

II was announced yesterday that the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation. which will manufact-
ure the open hearth rail exclusively. purposed
to give the railroads a steel rail that would
meet present conditions. provided the railroads
were willing TO meet the extra expense of pro-
duction. The management of the company. It
was said, was advocating a nickel steel rail that
would meet all requirements.
In speaking of the subject yesterday repre-
sentative of the corporation said: The lives Of
people are endangered as a result Of the present
quality Of the steel rail. and Il is up to the rail-
roads and steel representatives to lessen the
danger through rail breakage much as pos
sible regardless of the price of the steel rail.
81 think the solution OF the problem lies in
the nickel steel rail. 1t will stand the strain
and last longer than the ordinary steel rail, and
therefore offset TO large extent the additional
cost.
1.-The largest railroad system, the Pennsyl-
vania. consumes between 10000 and 2OOooO
tons of steel rails year costing in the neigh
borhood of 100000, based on the present price
of sos ton. l do not think railroad ought TO
object to paying $40 ton more for its rails. or
even twice as much, II it feels that the higher
priced rails minimize the danger OF travel.
At remember when c. NJ. Schwab strongly
advocated the of nickel steel tubes in the
boilers Of battleships. There was protest on
the part of the government engineers, who ar
gued that the steel would cost 81 a pound. But
they came TO tt"
