Steamship Tipping.

As ship nears land after a trip

travellers are always in a ferment in

one may give what one chooses and,
no matter how small the amount,
will never be questioned BY the re-
cipient, though his looks may mean
much. | may say, however, that it
is customary to give the table stew

night he was entertained by his

In the morning he tried to slip

A WOMAN'S WORK.

Could anything be a better illustra-
ton of the way woman do their work
as compared with the way men do
theirs, than to look over village of
say, a thousand families. on Monday:
In thousand little kitchens a thou
sand women would be seen thrusting
wood into a thousand little cook
Stoves heating thousand little wash
boilers, bending their backs over a
thousand little washboards, and hang
ing their clothes on a thousand little
clothes lines. If, by some singular
social revolution, the men of such a
village were to undertake to do the
work their first step would be to get
up stock company, invest capital
in building and machinery, so organ
lie the work that about a half dozen
men would do the work for the whole
town, receive good salaries therefor,
and the rest of the men would go
about their own business on Monday
just as on any other days.

BEING AND DONE.

1t is said ''To be good is the way
to be happy, but to be good and to
do good is the way to be happy.
What happy world this would be
if all would do the best things for
themselves, if all realized that the
only way to get out of life is to put
into it, that the way to receive is to
give, and the only way to be helped
is to be helpful, and the way to gain
life is to lose it for others, and the
way to go upis to go down, for The
meek shall inherit the earth" ''He
that humbleth himself shall be ex-
allied" 1t is petty, to live for self,
it is grand to live for friends, but 'tis
glorious to live for mankind, and, as
one has said, The only way to work
for God is to work for man."

Its the little foxes that destroy the
vines in home life. We have known
men who would lay down their lives
for their wives and children, who
almost have fits of apoplexy over a
button off shirt or mislaid paper.
There are women who would die at
the stake for their husbands, but who
have an almost unconscious habit of
nagging the poor man from morning
till night. Strange isn't it.

A Sailor sunerstitien.

'Tts funny" remarked an. old
skipper on the water front, chow an
Gent superstitions cling to the men
who go to sea. Take, for instance.
that sharks fin nailed to the tip of
the flying jibboom of that windjam-
mer. There's hardly any OF the peo-
pie who come down to the docks on
a Sunday afternoon that don't look
and wonder at it. But few know
what it means to seafaring men.
It's superstition as old as the art
of sailing and one in which all sea-
men believe. They think it takes
the ginger out of heavy seas when
the ship is showing her nose under.
and they also believe that so long.
as the sharks fin holds the vessel
will never be in collision. It is a
mascot which brings all good, be-
sides adding speed to the ship. A
sailor would as leave see the masts
70 by the board as to see the sharks
fin lost off the jibboom." San

Good night often soothes many a
troubled mind to rest, and heals the

are spoken or done in season or out

life progresses.

utterance, cheers the heart of faint
and fearful ones, and softens many a

humanity. The lovelight, that beams

such words as Good night" lights

rest and peace and to land of pleas

The home where Good morning,

by one to another, are the homes OF
the world where good thoughts are
generated, where good deeds have

lives.
Then don't forget to say Good
morning.; say it to parents, to child

and say it cheerfully and with a smile.
1t will do you good and do your friends
good. 1t will cheer the discouraged,

Tiny Screws.

Wonderful skill is displayed in

pieces that are used to ornament
bracelets and other pieces of jewel

watches are necessarily as perfect
as those used in a much larger time
piece, but much smaller. They must
be examined under powerful mi
croscope. rG s
Some of the small screws are only
one twelye-hundred-and-f ftieth part
of an inch IN diameter and seven
one thousandth part Of an inch IN IN
length. An idea of their size can
be formed when It is estimated that
it would require about 100, GOO Of
these delicate parts to Ell an ordi-

THE JAPANESE PRINTER.
He Has Troubles of HE Own in His
Composing Room.

He Has Troubles Of HE Own In HiS
Composing Room.
If the typesetters Of the western
world have their troubles they are
as nothing compared with those Of
the japanese composing room.
The japanese. like their breth-
rem. the Chinese, employ a written
language-what might be called q
literary dialect-that IS quite DIFF
ferent from the colloquial tongue.
In other words. they do not. as We,
write as they speak. This proceed
ing requires the printing Of their
Journals in two languages, the Kas
ma and the square characters sery-
ing as key to the other. These
square characters are modelled ON
Chinese ideographs. a tumble Of
geometric figures. crosses, ETC., pre-
senting a picturesque zigzag effect.
There are 1000 to 5000 of these
ideographs in everyday use. The
compositor must therefore be some
thing of a scholar, in the oriental
sense. to be able to recognize the
characters at sight. In order to
facilitate his task as much as pos
sible the arrangement of his work
room is something Ike this:
The compositor seats himself at
a little table, upon which are spread
forty-seven Kama characters. As
he receives copy he cuts it into,
small strips. handing each strip to a
boy. This boy marches along the
room until he has finally been able
to collect from number of cases
arranged in files down the room the.
different ideographs desired. About
six or seven boys are thus employed
in the average japanese composing
room running hither and thither.
As they go their rounds II search.
of the ideographs they keep up a.
dirgelike chant. which would Ger
tainly be very trying to the nerves
of any but an oriental.
When the boys have collected all
their ideographs they place them
before the compositor. who then
has recourse to pair of goggles In
order to decipher the characters.
fish out the corresponding types in
the Kama character and finally set
up the whole foF proving. The
proofs are sung aloud by one reader
to another, thus adding to the con
fusion of weird sounds already
reigning in the room.-New York
Tribune.

There is sweet music in every
home where the heart strings are
touched by gentleness and courtesy.
The mild word, the gentle answer,
the tender act the patient consider
ateness, will touch cords of kindness
and make sweet melody in the family

place is home devoid of those little
courtesies which are practiced in the
best social life.

In regard to our schools, parents
have duties to preform, which they
can i'll afford to neglect. They should
show to their children that they
have an interest in the school. They
should examine carefully the reports
sent by the teacher, should see that
their children are in school every day,
and punctual: should assist and en-
courage their children to do all their
school duties faithfully and well (;
should cooperate with the teacher in
securing the prompt return of their
children home after school is dismiss
ed; should make a friendly visit to
the school, and talk freely with the
teacher and principal in regard to
same.

REGRETS OF LIFE.
an along the journey fife various

An along the journey fife various
regrets are strewn, and these regrets
increase as we near the end of our
journey. Many of these regrets
originated at the time when in our
ignorance, we believed ourselves
WISER than our elders. These regrets
me not as painful as those that come
upon US after we have passed the
meridian of life and are well nigh
down the mountain side. The older
ne grow the larger appear these re-
srets, and the more painful they be-
come. We presume no one will read
these lines who has not felt, and felt
-keenly, the presence of these regrets,
and will wish that their number were
less. Had we been able in our child
hoods days to have realized then the
keen anguish we feel in after years
ON the account of these regrets, we
are certain that there would not have
been so many of them to disturb our
minds in the autumn of life.
Themost useless and painfulregrets
that disturb our quiet hours are those
growing out of errors and mistakes
made in our mature years. These
regrets are often veritable night
Mares to US and haunt, what with
out their presence, would be our
most peaceful hours. These regrets
are to numerous to mention. We
all have them. We no doubt each
have our own private graveyard
IN which we try to bury our regrets,
bat find their ghost will not be laid,
but stalk about at the most unreason-
able todisturb our quiet hours. When
these ghosts begin to walk we would
give almost anything if we could live
our lives over, so that we could leave
unsaid the unkind words, and leave
undid the unkind acts, that caused
these regrets. Let US use the mis-
takes of the past as sign posts for our
future guidance to enable US to avoid
errors that cause regrets. Above all
things, let US not say word nor pre-
form deed against our brother that
can possible bring regrets in life.
Let US each strive in our daily life to
live up to the Golden Rule. If we
do this there will be no more regrets
to disturb and annoy our declining
years, and our last days will prove to
be our best and our happiest ones.

The Ancient, and Electricity.

Awriter in the Elektrotechnische
Anzeiger cites many incidents to
show that electricity was not un-
known to the ancients and that
Georg Ebers' suggestion in novel
that the Egyptians made use of
conductors was well
founded. Instruments much like
the modern heliograph were also
used, the writer says, by priests as a
means Of communication between
temples. There can be no doubt,
he says, as to the temple having
been protected by lightning rods.
The Biblical descriptions show that
the roof was proyided-with metallic
points held aloft by columns and
that these points, ending IN chains,
terminated IN great water tanks.

SENSITIVE PEOPLE.

Sensitive people seem to enjoy SEN
sitiveness. They are always on the
lookout for something to give them
pain. They are much like cat
would be with tail forty feet long,
dragging around on the floor ready to
be tramped upon. We are crowded
pretty thick uponlife' sgreatthorough-
fare, and can't well help Glowing
each other as We pass along. Ninety
nine times out of every hundred no
harm is intended, but those sensitive
people, who have the longest and
sharpest elbows of anybody, are
always attributing a motive to every
accidental jog they get. The fact
is, personal Importance is at the
bottom of this whole thing. The
world is not thinking about you-has
no desire to hurt you-but you i'm
agine that the whole world should be
run in your interest.

bear ranges all through the high
Sierra Madres wherever there are
good feeding grounds. and wher-
ever there are grizzlies one may ex-
pect also the huge cinnamon bear,
the grizzly's close neighbor. The
common brown bear is not 50 nu-
merous, but the black bear is quite
plentiful. The white faced bear is
more rare, though it is sometimes
found in the coast mountains. ]

from personal experience for the
quality Of their yenison. At many

they were household pets. where as

All the American great cats. in fact,
inhabit both the Pacific and gulf
coasts and the foothills. The small
American leopard is very numerous
all along the hot country coasts.
and the Mexican jaguar, known 10
cally by foreigners as the tiger,
preys upon cattle and ranch ami
mails to such a degree as to be very
much of a nuisance.
There are some timber wolves,
but they are not dangerous. The
one animal that is really dangerous
is the javalin, or Mexican wild boar.
1t runs in large bands and will kill
both man and horse. If javalin is
wounded the whole band will turn
upon the hunter, and woe to him if
he has not provided for escape or
safety. The javalin is very numer-
