The American Youth.

If the truth were told most young
American men are not especially inter
esting. They do not keep up their
reading. They have national OBJ
tundity when 1t comes to music, to art,
to literature, nor do many Of them
take any of these things at all serious
~. The young among them are not
good conversationalists. Our cleverest
men are monologists pure and simple.
They lecture admirably. They are
born orators along modified lines. They
are inevitable story tellers. None Of
this is conversation, and women like
conversation, like its courtesies, which
at least pretend a little interest when
their turn comes in the game. Knowl-
edge Of people and affairs outside our
own country pricks more than one
bubble about our young men.-Anna
A. Rogers in Atlantic.

Breaking Away From Work.

Our business men ought to break
away from trade exactions long before
they do-ought to do so as matter Of
VolitiOn and ethical judgment rather
than of physical necessity. They ought
to get and give more enjoyment in life.
They ought to do less for self and more
for others. They ought to live more in
books and more in the open and less
at their desks and realize better health
and longer lives as a result More ana
more culture in all its forms is exer-
cising growing influence. which must
manifest itself in lessened effort along
the lines of money getting and the de.
votion of more time on the part of our
business men to the pursuits which
naturally accompany fortified leisure.

gain leisure" and Aristotle was wise

A cRuMB OF BREAD.
Us Effect on the Tip of Vivaeious
Womans Nose.


Isn't it terrible" said the society
woman, what a tiny thing can prove
tragedy to poor. self vaunting man
kind. A speck almost invisible in the
eye of an athlete may disempower him
utterly and render him as helpless as
a baby. And lost hairpin or the
breaking of a buckle may transform
the most smartly groomed woman into
an object of amusement to all Observ-
ers.
"At a dinner 1 attended not long ago
lady sitting opposite me lodged. in
some ineXplainable manner a large
crumb of bread directly on the end of
her nose without being conscious of
the fact, and there it remained. The
ludlcrous effect was beyond the power
of words to describe or of human
risibles to resist She is an extremely
vivacious woman, generous with smiles
and little bows and motions of her
head, and as she chatted gayly with
those about her 1t was impossible for
us to restrain our unseemly mirth.
Naturally she thought this was caused
by her remarks, and she continued to
toss off jests with lightsome air. We
were all in agony, but no one sum-
moned courage to tell her, each Of us
preferring to leave that kindly act to
another. After time she addressed
a remark to her husband. who sat
next to her and had been devotlng
himself to the lady at his other side.
He turned to look at his wife, and in
an instant a clever touch Of his nap

He even lies down in the middle Of

He doesn't enjoy as large a vocab-

The CABBAGE CURE.
Old Ezekiel Had Long Been Wanting
a Boiled Dish.

Bolled OlShs
This idea that people thrive best
on the food they like best is not as
modern as you seem to think" said
the old doctor to the young doctor.
when Ezekiel Holmes was something
over 100 years old he was taken sick.
and my grandfather, one of the best
physicians in that section. was called
in to see him after the family had
done their worst to make him better.
Grandfather pronounced Mr.. Holmes
very Ill and told the family that the
end was probably near-he might not
live out the night AS soon as this
news spread through the neighborhood
several friends called to sit up or
watch with the sufferer. Among them
was sea captain. who took the sec
ond watch.
"a little after midnight Mr.. Holmes
awoke and said the doctor was starv-
ing him. The captain asked what he
would like to eat.
"'COrned beef and cabbage replied
the old man.

and gave him a generous plateful,

so long as the old mans hours were
numbered he might as well have what
he wanted while he lasted. After eat
ing heartily Mr.. Holmes said he felt
much better and went quietly to sleep.
The next morning. when grandfather
called, he found his patient on the
road to recovery. The old man not
only got well, but kept so for four
or FIVE years afterward, and he al
ways stoutly declared that his mid
night meal had cured him.

Melody of Sorrow Heard In Prison and

There is an air so popular in Russia
that it is even more familiar than their
national anthem to the people of that
great, mysterious empire. | have heard
1t in all parts of the cars dominions
from the Baltic sea to Boring strait
and from Archangel to the Caspian, in
the glitteTing palaces of Petersburg
and in foul prison dens of Siberia.
1t is a simple melody in the minor
key, suggestive, like most Slav music,
of sorrow and unrest, and it is called
''Matushka Tor MotheO Volga,' as for
some cryptic reason every Russian, be
he noble or nihilist, is taught from
childhood to regard this great river in
the light of maternal relative. Yet
the river is full Of sad associations,

ton of the journey to Siberia along its
broad, sluggish stream.

~oRAN AMOK p
The 1loodthirsty Malay When He 10
Maddened by Frenzy.


"Amok" is a religious fanaticism, a
madness under which a man makes up
his mind to kill any one he can until
he himself is killed. Brought on by
drink or religion or from whatever
cause, the process is the same. The
mailman seizes his creese and rushes
headlOng down the street, cutting at
every one he meets. To any one who
has seen creese or parang further
detail is unnecessary.
A man running amok is as a dog
with hydrophobia, but the panic caus-
ed by the former is by far the worse.
Like the mad dog, the mailman is fol-
lowed by noisy rabble, who sooner or
later run into their man and extermi-
nate him. When this vengeful rabble
is made up Of bloodthirsty Malays and
Cinnamon its wild rage and fury are
beyond control, beyond description.
The clamor and bloodcurdling yells of
ing shout of "Oran amok, oran amokp'
are incidents which can never be for
gotten by any one who has seen or
heard them. The bravest quails when
suddenly turning the corner of a street
his ears are greeted with the cry of
"Oran amokr' and a few yards of he
sees a Malay running straight at him,
brandishing in his hand the bloody
creese with which he has already
slaughtered all in his way.-London

TIDES AND FISHING.
Fish Are More Active In Search For
Food on the Flood Tide.

Food on the Flood Tide.
The most essential thing in sea fish
Ing. next to tackle and bait, is tide
table, because all marine fishes ex-
cept the fatfish-flOunder and fluke-
are captured more readily at certain
tide The main cause for such is that
fish are more active In their search
for food generally on the food tide.
Vast schools of little fishes move
close into shore on the incoming tide,
working their way into the smaller
bays and inlets. especially near the
edge of banks, where they, feed on
the small crustaceans, shrimps and lit
tie minnows that can effectually hide
from their larger enemies when the
tide is low and the large fish are I'M
able to get at them in very shoal wa
tiers.
1t is a common and interesting sight
to see a school of weakfsh slowly
moving in near the surface with the
early tide. Suddenly one sees the
smooth surface all in commotion. Sill
very minnows leap frantically In all
directions, looking like flashes of dia-
monds, then instantly disappear to GER
tain death At such times anglers
should be ready with their boat
trimmed snug, lines out floating forty
feet away, baited with live shrimps.
Tide affects bottom feeders, though
not to such a large extent. Fishing
from piers and docks an hour before
and after flood is most likely to give
good results. On wrecks much de-
ponds on the kind of fish. The last of
the ebb and at low tide is considered
the worst condition for general fish
ing. In the open sea, on the banks,
tidal influence counts for little or moth
ing. Any tide is as good as another

THE USEFUL SWALLOWS.
Light Cavalry of the Avian Army and
Friends Of the Farmer.


From the standpoint of the farmer
and the orchardist perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist
They have been described as the light
cavalry OF the avian army.
Specially adapted for flight and I'M
excelled III aerial evolutions, they have
few rivals In the art of capturing In
sects in midair. They eat nothing Of
value to man except few predaceous
wasps and bugs and in return for their
services in destroying vast numbers Of
noxious insects ask only for harborage
and protection.
1t is to the fact that they capture
their prey on the wing that their pc
cultar value to the cotton grower is
due. Orioles do royal service in catch
ing weevils on the boIls, and black
birds, wrens, flycatchers and others
contribute to the good work, but when
swallows are migrating over the cot
ton fields they find the weevils flying
In the open and wage active war
against them. AS many as forty-seven
adult weevils have been found in the

for when the ice is rough, as 1t almost
always is, his webbed, clumsy feet
soon become raw and bleeding. When

part he hops laboriously mile after
