JerroId and His Frisnss.

Douglas Jerrold's humor was
usually of the biting sort, says Mr..
Harry Furniss in some stories Of
Famous Raconteurs," and he was
an ever present terror to his friends
as well as his enemies.
"Ah, Jerrold, you and | are row.
ing in the same boat now" friend
ostcntatiously remarked TO the sat-
irist on one occasion.
"Yes," replied Jerrold, but not
with the same skulls"
Ills humor, however, did not al
ways hurt the victim.
One evening a journalist came
into his club, complaining that the
proprietor Of his paper had dis
missed him and saying that it was
his intention to 60 into the coal
trade.
"A very good choice, too" said
Jerrold. you've something to
start with, you know-yoa'ye got
the sack"

understood that we don't care a
rap if the State loses the 24 cent
passenger fare case in the United
States Supreme Court, provided
only its side is adequately pre-
scented. The recently over
shadowing issue of State sover-
eighty and State self respect be-
ing now definitely settled, the
matter resolves itself into a SIM
pie question of dollars and cents.
If it develops that the rate is
really confscatory the State
shoule be glad to lose. Indeed,
public sympathy should now in
cline to the railroads, for they
hardly stand a fair chance. A
rate may not be confscatory and
yet may be illiberal and unfair
we remain firmly convinced that
the 24 cent provision should
never have been passed. The
Supreme Court can be relied
upon to Go justice as nearly as
possible. May the right prevail.

MARINE ETIQUETTE.
Elaborate System Of Statutes For Use
as Occasion Requires.


There is in existence a most elab-
crate system of salutes, the strict
observance of which is insisted upon
in marine etiquette. The following
examples give an idea of its CON-
plication:
When a ship enters strange port
il greets the flag of that country
with salute of twenty-one guns,
which is answered Immediately from
the shore, usually by the harbor
fort or by special shore battery.
When foreign warships lie in the
harbor their national flag also is
saluted by the incoming steamer,
and the salute is returned by the
ships lying at anchor. When high
er officials chance to be on the other
warships in port they, moreover, re-
ceive their salute above described
but the flag of an admiral is saluted
by a foreign warship only once in a
year.
But marine etiquette is not ex,
hausted at shooting. When a war
ship enters a harbor Immediately
upon its arrival it makes a visit
through its guard or pilot officer
on the other warships already lying
in harbor or on the native squadron
During the entire sojourn in the
aarbor the strictest attention must
be paid to marine etiquette. Wher
an admiral's ship lies in the harbol
all the other warships adjust theil
flags accordingly-that is, at even
ing, with music, drumbeat a.:
other military honors, they lowel
their flag after the admiraPs shiI
has first set the example. Likewise
in the morning they wait to raisC
their flags until the admiral's shiI
has hoisted its flag.
Even in the national hymns which
the orchestras of the ships pla!
etiquette rules must be observed
For instance, when a German war
ship enters a strange harbor wher'
other ships are lying its music a
noon, when, according to the old in
ternational custom, all the ship or
chestras are assembled on thei
decks, always begins with the ma
tional hymn of one Of those state
whose ships are present in the har
Dor. The order in which these ma
tional hymns are played depends oil
the degree and rank of the oldes
officer among them.

PROVERBS ABOUT TREES.
Beautiful Thoughts Finely Expressed
by the Hindoos.

e j. d
Many are the proverbs relating to
trees which are to be heard in India.
Among the proverbs that speak OF
the banyan there is one which says,
"As the banyan, so are its hanging
shoots; as the father, so the son."
This probably means that if the
tree be in good soil and well nour-
ished it will be strong and thriv-
ing; so will its shoots. just so the
fathers health and character will
be reflected in his son. Tales of
brinjals growing on a banyan tree
is an expression equivalent to
travellers tales"--a gentle hint
that the narrator is drawing the
long bow. The nimb (Azadirachita
indica) recalls a saying the appropri-
ateness Of which can be understood
by those who know its thick shade
and who know also what the burn
ing heat of a tropical sun is, "a
mothers love is like the shade OF
the nimb tree"
1t is a beautiful thing, this Hin
doc mothers love, seldom, if ever,
absent, and carried often even to
such excess that it becomes weak
ness. 1t is so deep and true that it
cannot understandable action is
altogether beyond its comprehen-
sion-that a mother could part with
her young children for them to be
educated in another country. The
wild fig tree is said not to flower at
all, yet people believe that it really
does so, only it is at night, and then
but for a minute or two, although If
procured it is marvelously bene-
fetal; hence it comes to be applied
to a visit from a friend after long
absence-a great rarity. Another
form of it is, "ro meet with the
flower of the wild fig and to meet
YOU are alike" There is a descrip-
ton of laziness than which it would
be difficult to find anything more
explicit, ITO die from starvation
beneath a ripe fig tree"
The teak tree (Tectona grandis,
is the one tree of all Others in In
dia that is useful and indispensable
1t is not, therefore, surprising tc
find this belief expressed as follows
among trees there is only one
the teak. The rest are old women.
The same truth is expressed in
different way, "Wood of the teal
and the child of king" But these
are the very best of their kind; a
is the Importance and rank Of
prince among subjects, so is th'
quality of the teak among trees
This saying relating to the mang'
(Mangifera indica) may be given
"I.et us throw a stone in the mang'
tree and see. II il hit. it will hit
If it doesn't, it won't" 1t is tn,
equivalent of "having q shot at
thing-trying to get something GU
Of a good and benevolent man. i
if succeed, well. II not, then Their,
is nothing lost.-Times Of India.

Cardinal Meuuefan.i,. Memory.

Cardinal Mezzofanti had a mem.
ory little short of miraculous. Dir.
Russell, his biographer, says that
the cardinal spoke thirty languages;
that he spoke fairly well nine; that
he used occasionally, but not with
any fuency, eleven more; that he
spoke imperfectly eight, and that he
could read eleven more. Taking in
addition the number Of dialects he
used. some so diverse from the
mother tongue as to constitute a
different language, DR.. Russell says
that the cardinal was master Of no
less than Ill different languages
and dialects. His German was so
excellent that he was taken for q
native Of Germany, while his French
and English were equally pure. DIR.
Tholuck heard him converse in Ger
man, Arabic, Spanish, Flemish, En-
glish, Latin, Greek, Swedish and
Portuguese at one Of the pope's re.
ceptions, and afterward Mezzofanti
gave him a poem in Persian and left
him to take a lesson in Cornish
He knew several Of the American
Indian languages and nearly all the
dialects of India.
