A JAMAICA MOMLNG.
SCENES NOTED BY A TRAVELER
WHILE IN KINGSTON.

gp of Night Air.
Early every rooming there were curious
scenes around I'ark lodge. In Jamaica the
negroes have to some eitent the unpleasant
habit, common to the colored inhabitants of
all the West India Islands, of standing im
movable by the quarter hour storing at any
thing that attracts their attention. When
alone they stand erect and 6ilent as statues
till they seem about to take root. When they
have company they are more likely to jabber
us fast as their tongues can move. When the
object of their curiosity happens to be
a stranger who la not used to this
sort of admiration, he is pretty sure
to be embarru&sed, and vory like to
become indignant. But It is only tosome ex
tent, as I have said, that the negroes in Jama
ica do this, and when it is done at all it is
nearly always done by those who walk in
long distances from the country to sell their
produce. Those who livo in Kingston are
used to seeing strangers and pay no attention
to them. In Jamaica eyes Fork lodge is a
marvel of everything stylish and elegant,
and the darkies coming in from the hills to
sell their bananas and akeos and "nice fresh
eggs, boss," can rarely pans the open gates
without stopping to gaze at the wonderful
sights within.
DARKJE3 SEEING TUB BIGHTS.
It was no uncommon thing to see four or
five colored ladies and gentlemen, with
loaded trays balanced on their heads, stand
ing in front of the Park lodge gates at once
fairly drinking In the Oriental magniflcenco.
The great sight consisted principally of the
fountain in the middle of the yard and a few
strangers sitting under the archway leading
to the hotel oflice; but this was enough to in
terest the sable tramps, who had already
trudged over miles of dusty roads to bring
their goods to market, and still had a
long walk before them. It is only fair
to the colored people of Jamaica to
say that they do less of this sort
of thing than their brethren on any other
Knglish island in the West Indies. In
Jilontserrat, for instauce, they regard a
k-ange white man as a colossal aggregated
circus come to town, and follow him wherever
he goes. In Nassau, though they are used to
seeing strangers, they surround a new arrival
in droves, and make great efforts to secure a
uixiience or even "a big copper, boss." In
ilarbadocs, where the improvement of the
negro race under British rule is seen to the
best advantage, they set after a newly ar
rived stranger like a crew of Malay pirates
till lio is driven to take refuge in the nearent
shelter. But in Jamaica they are quiet, in
offensive, and generally well behaved and
polite. Of course thosa who make infrequent
trips from their country homos to the capital
feci bound to see the sights when thfcy are in
town. I thought at first that these lads and
lasses with trays on their heads who stopped
to stare in the gate were waiting for a chance
to sell their wares; but they had no such idea.
Two or three special ones came in every
morning to sell eggs and fresh fruit, but they
were alL One morning a girl came in with a
dozen fine alligator pears, which I bought for
a few pennies; but I found soon afterward
that I had captured the hotel's supply for the
day, and I had to surrender them.
One of the earliest arrivals every morning
was the man who sold photographs. This
title I give him, "The man who sold photo
graphs," partly out of courtesy and partly
because I do not know what else to call him.
He was hardly a man, although he had the
outward appearance of one, for he had no
more intelligence than one of the goldfish in
the fountain, and be did not sell photographs,
for nobody ever bought any; the pictures he
offered were hardly worthy the name of pho
tographs, being the worst smudges the sun
was ever made accountable for.
THE VICTORIA MARKET.
Park lodge i3 perhaps a trifle over a mile
from the end of the street car line, and the
market is one short block from the terminus.
This is the Victoria market, the principal
one in Kingston. There is another, called
the Jubilee market, in another part of the
city. The Victoria market I consider the
finest in the W est Indies. In the early morn
ing it is crowded with buyers, sellers and
goods, and by early morning 1 mean from 6
to 0 o'clock. It is a wonder of a market for
any West Indian city, built entirely of iron,
S00 feet long, and ICO feet wide. The ends
and sides are open, there being do side walls,
as none are needed, but the whole place is
surrounded by a tall iron railing mounted on
a brick walL Everything about it is av
clean and sweet as possible, and even whei
the fish and meat stalls are full one smells
nothing but the sweet odors that float over
from the flower places. It cost about $120,
C00, and is well worth the money.
"The beef, it is all raised on the island, and
is originally very good beef before it goe
into the hands of the butchers. But they
kill it and sell it the same morning, appar
ently cutting the whole animal into slices or
chunks, without regard to choice parts or
poor parts. I know the beef is good when
properly handled, because whenever 1 dined
in a private house the roasts were excellent,
having no doubt leen kept for some time on
ice; but in the hotel, where it was used within
a fow hours of its coming from market, it
was utterly unfit to put on the table. The
mutton, too, was good when properly iced ,
but the best Southdown lamb, if killed at
daylight, would not be fit to use for break
fast that morning. This is the practice
throughout the West Indies to kill an ani
mal at 5 and eat him at 10, and it account
very largely for the wretched meat cenv
anonly served in that part of the world.
Goat meat Is not to be laughed at, provided
it comes out of a tender kid. 1 ate my first
plate of roast kid in Bermuda, and like it
quite as well as turkey. Strawberries are
scarce, and egg plants are not as cheap as
they look at two cents each, for they are
very small. The native way of keeping
bouse is to send a servant to market in the
morning to buy provisions for the day, and
for one day only, and these will perhaps in
elude a pound of onions, two cents' worth of
email vegetables, a pineapple, and every
thing on the same moderate scale. There is
reason for thi3, for scarcely anything will
keep without ice, and ice is dear even when
cheap, because in a hot climate it melts so
fast.
' These early morning hours for sight seeing
and noticing the habits of the people were
far better than the evening. I have always
made it a rule to be under a roof if possible
after dark in tropical countries, and to this I
attribute in great part my escape from a
single day's illness hi all my years of resi
dence and visiting in the West Indies. But
there are many nights in the worst climates,
even, when one can be out with perfect
safety. You learn in time to tell by the feel
of the 'air whether it is safe or not. William

Chy Louis. Is It really you 1
Grown to womanhood, tall and cold.
Your eyes are still that wonderful blue.
Yet they do not seem like the eyes of old;
Eurely, it Is but a year or so
Since the time I drew you upon my knee,
On winter night by the back log's glow,
And told you stories of land and sea.
You had always a kiss for me
In those days. If my mem'ry serves me well;
Then your kinses you lavished free
For a flower, perhaps a caramel;
You had been nursed In a worldly school.
My lady mamma had taught you well,
Tltnt a girl or woman was half a fool
Who didn't know charuis were made to sell.
You have not changed since those days, Louise,
When I purchased your kisses with lollipops.
Though you plunged in the baut monde's treach
erous seas
Of kettledrums, Hermans and Thursday bops.
You will marry, I bear, if reports are true,
A titled loon, who is bent and old;
Yet matters are equal between you two,
For I'm sure that my lord will be Hold!

A Richly Merited liebnke.
The literary wife of a western senator
went to hear Riley one night; the price for
the author's readings were too high for Iher
purse, and she gladly availed herself of a re
duced rate to hear the star of the combina
tion. Bho was much in earnest. It chanced
that her seat lay among a lot of frivolous
women to whom the going was a "fad."
They did not care for Riley nor his reading,
and they talked small talk all the evening.
The senator's wife was distracted by their
clatter; she could not follow the reader, and
she sent several severe g!ancc3 to them with
out avaiL Finally sho could sit under the
outrage no longer, and, rising, she said in a
tone loud enough to bo beard by more than
those for whom the words were intended:
"For God's sake, women, stop your fool talk
or adjourn to the lobby with it, and let other
jKJoplo hear what they paid their money for,
not your nonsense." There was quiet in that
neighborhood through tho remainder of the
programme. Washington Letter.
Hugging at the linecc
A great many inquiries are made as to how
to prevent pantaloons from bagging at the
knees. There is only one answer to these, it
can't be done. Your trousers will bag, and
you can't help it. Tho bagging can be less
ened by frequent pressings und taking good
care of tliem, but as long as men bend their
knees in walking their pants will bag. The
skin would also, if it didn't settle back. A
great many men pull their pants up on their
knees when seated to pi -event their bulgipg.
This is very foolish. Tho smallest part of the
trousers is that around the calves of the legs,
and, of course, in pulling them up and bond
ing tho leg a greater strain is brought to bear
on the cloth. There might be some way to
sponge the cloth so it would not stretch so
much, but so far no tailor has succeeded ia
hardly lessening the cause of the complaint.
The tailor who does make tho discovery will
at the same time make a fortune. Tailor in

"Loud Kress" of Actors.
It seems to the ordinary observer that as
soon as a person adopt3 the stage as a profes
sion the aforesaid adopter must instantly put
himself or herself on the outside of the
flashiest, loudest and broadest clothing and
dress that man can conceive or loom weave.
It looks to the common, everyday, plain
American citizen that th.6 dress is affected to
save the adopters from carrying a perambu
lator sandwich reading on both sides, "I am
an actor," in all the glory of yellow, red and
green letters. The men get into the queerest
cfit garments they can find, and the women
lire always looking for some headpiece,
vaistpieee or gewgaw that will attract the
gaze of the gaping multitude. FinG feathers
may make fine birds, but loud dress on the
street does not proclaim the wearer an
actor of genius cr a -shining light in the pro
fession. Clipper.
The Prairie Mark's Ixve Song.
As tho ftjll springtime comes on the num
ber of these short chants is greatly increased,
while their prolongations and variations are
without number, and soon it becomes evident
to the most casual observer that the love
fires are kindling and that each musician ia
striving to the utmost of his powers to sur
pass ail rivals and win the lady lark of his
choice. On one occasion, as I lay in hiding
near a fence, three larks came skimming
over the plain; they alighted within a few
yards of me, and two of them burst into
song, sometimes singing together and some
times alternately, but ihe third 'was silent.
When at last they flew up I noticed that tho
silent one and one of the singers kept to
gether. I had been witness to a musical
tournament, and the victor had won Lis
bride. - American Magazine.
Clam Shell fttiQ , J'air.
Col. Silas Moore, of Southlngton, sold
a pair of clam shells last week for $G0.
The pair -were two feet and ten inches in
length and fibout one foot and ten inches
wide, and weighed C04 pounds. Col.
Moore is the owner of a pair weighing
330 pounds, which he vrould not sell for
$100, These large clam shells came from
the Mediterranean ca, and there are
some in Italy which weigh TOO pounds.
Most of these shells have a blemish, but
in a public museum, where they are not
handled, the blemish may not be seen.
In a private collection it is desirable to
have perfect fehells. Col. Moore's $100
shells are jicrfeet and the finest iu the
United States. There are parts of the
meat of these big clams which are good
fo.xl. Col. Moore, has seen a clam steak
six inches wide and a foot long. In his
collection are clam shells so small that
ten pairs would not weigh an ounce. To
outweigh the big pair would require
more than 10,000 of the small ones.

Feeding Cows In Finland.
To any one who could be satisfied with
an unvarying diet of fish and black bread,
accompanied by the best cream and but
ter that can be found anywhere, it would
le easy to satisfy his wants in any part of
the country. IIow the cream and butter
come to be so good is a mystery to me,
for assuredly the Finnish cows are the
wortt and most scantily fed of their kind.
What other cow that respected herself
would be satisfied with hay soup in which
the water formed so unfair a proportion
to the hay? The most meagre looking
hay, mixed with the dried branches of
alder, simmers in a huge iron pot, and
one sees the poor beasts dipping their
noses into the unsavory brotli and fishing
out its soddened contents with tlio evi
dent relish of hunger. It was complained
to mo by a resident in the country that
cows could not bo induced to look upon
sawdust as the staple of their food. IIow
far Jie had seriously made the trial I do
not know, but should he ever succeed,
there will be a rich prospect for Finland

BABY LOUISE.
STUFFING THE MEMORY.
That Faculty Cultivated In Our Schools at
the Eipeniie of Other Powers.
We have seen a certain class of educational
"experts" who attached more importance
concerning the knowledge of the authorship
of some musty, dusty, rusty, long forgotten
book than they did to giving a child any
amount of practical knowledge. The educa
tional premium U now for stuffed memories.
That faculty and organ is cultivated at the
expense of other powers. The "smart" boy
or girl is the one who can repeat the most
names, dates, words and sentences and for
get them a year afterward. It is no indica
tion of a bright, comprehensive mind, quick
to see and quick to act, that it can repeat the
dictionary "by heart" after a few weeks'
study, or commit to memory a thousand sen
tences in six mouths.
Such over stimulation of memory deadens
other faculties. This is often proved. The
smart scholar in after life very often bo
comes the literary drudge to the very man
who when a boy at school was called stupid
because he wouldn't learn his lesson. So far
as a certain practical success in life is con
cerned it was fortunate for him that he
wouldn't or couldn't make of his brain a
Btuffed mental sausage case full of names,
dates, boundaries, detiuitions and sentences
of whose real meaning (if there was any) he
knew next to nothing. Had he been thus
turned out tho premium prize essay memory
crammed scholar, the mental rag bag, full
of stuedi of information, he would have been
loggy and top heavy with the load, slow to
see chances, incapable of an original plan or
idea, and afraid or indisposed to execute
anything unless it was previously learned
out of a book. Garfield never spoke a
greater truth than be did in saying that
"any child was fortunate who escaped the
abuses now rampant iu our public school ed
ucation." i
An intellect is not a mere memory. It is a
power to do and accomplish results through
ideas generated out of itself, and the mem
ory is one factor to pick up and hold what
it needs for the time to carry out such re
sults. Education from educo, to draw out '
indicates the drawing out and exercise of
tho powers and talents inherent and born
with a mind, and not the cramming of a
certain department of that mind. Prentice

The Colonel's Monopoly liroken.
"It may be a fact," says an Arizona ex
change, "that the Western Union Telegraph
company is a giant and grasping mpnopoly .
as charged in some quarters, but it neverthe- .
less remains that the building of a line of
thia company to Bob Cat City has broken up
one of the worst monopolies that ever in
fested our city. We refer to CoL Bolo, who,
possessing the only tree in town with a large,
strong limb at the proper distance from the
ground, has been in the habit of renting it
out to lynching parties at $o per meeting.
It haa, of course, been an inspiring sight, and
one that spoke volumes for the get up and
get of our citizens, to see the colonel standing
on his well kept lawn, and, when business
was brisk, hear him shout: 'Cut down the gen
tleman I Kextl But nevertheless it has been
rather expensive and he could have well
afforded to have rented the tree as low as
twelve bits or 2.
"The Western Union Telegraph company's
plant has, however, done away with all this.
Last night One Eyed Smith was adjusted to
the cross bar of the pole in front of the post
office by the Willing Workers Vigilance com
mittee, while Yankee Bunker, Pizen Pete and
another gentleman, whose name we could
not leaen, vyera suspended from the next
three poles to the north undei' tb.6 auspices of
the Western Improvement society. It is
rumored that a prominent citizen of Paradise
Valley was seen securely attached to another
pole four miles north of hero. If it is true
the North Side Higher Plane association
must have commenced operations, as we
trust it has, there being a loud demand for
such an organization iu the valley. This
makes Bob Cat City independent of the
colonel's tree. He has put up a fine swing
for his children from the historic limb,
which, of course, pleases them, though Mrs.
Bolo, being fond of society, finds it some
what lonely at Hemp Retreat since the
various associations stopped meeting there."
New York Tribune.
Chauncey M. Depew on Oratory.
I think oratory is something that cannot
be taught. Undoubtedly a man can learn to
be a fair talker- ff o can, by practice, learn
to present his ideas consecutively, clearly and
in what you may call "form," but there is as
much difference between this and an oration
as there is between a skeleton and a living
human being clad in sensitive, throbbing
fk'-li. There are millions of skeleton makers,
millions of people who can express what may
be called "tho bones" of a discourse, but not
one in a million who can clothe these bones.
You can no more teach a man to be an or
ator than you can teach him to be an artist,
or a poet, of the first class. When j-ou teach
him there is the tame difference between the
man who i3 taught and the man who is what
he is by virtue of a natural aptitude that
there Is between a pump and a spring be
tween a canal and a river between April
rain and water works. It is a question of
capacity and feeling not of education.
There are some things that you can tell an
orator not to do. For instance, he should
never drink water while talking, because the
interest is broken and for the moment he
loses control of hia audience. He should
never look at his watch, for the same reason.
He should never talk about himself. Ho
should never deal in personalities. He should
never tell long stories, and if he tell3 any
story he should never say that it is a true
story and that he knew the parties. This
makes it a question of veracity instead of a
question of art He should never clog his
discourse with details. He should never
dwell upon particulars he should touch uni
versals, because the great truths are for all
time. New York Mail and Express.
The Science of Electricity.
The last twenty years have seen more ad
vance in the science of electricity than all
the 6,000 historic years preceding. More is
discovered in one day now than in a thou
sand years of the middle ages, so that, liter
ally, "a day is a thousand years." We put it
to all sorts of uses. We make it carry our
messages, drive our engine, ring our door
bell and scare the burglar. We take it as a
medicine, light our gas, see by it, hear from
it, talk with it, and now we are beginning to
teach it to write. The question naturally
arises in contemplating this subject: " What
is itr I can imagine the last man on the
last day asking this same question: "What
is iti" At one time, not long ago, it was sup
posed to be a fluid; by some two fluids, a
positive and a negative. But in this day
there are few who do not believe it to be
simply a mode of motion; not matter, but a
condition of matter; and not a mechanical,
but a molecular motion. By mechanical
motion is meant a motion of the mass, and
by molecular motion is meant a motion of
the ultimate particles of which the mass is
made up. Seientiiic American.

An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be alllictcd i It
you will remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as common as any
wold in the English languuge, yet this
word covers only th nuaniiig of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used witli nervous diseusrs,
n they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness-,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Eiliotis Fever, etc.
