' Early erery rporntnjj there wera curious
y acenee around J'ark lodge. In Jamaica tha
' negroes bare to wme extent tbe unpleasant
habit, common to the colored Inhabitants of
all tbe West India Islands, of standing; im
movable bjr tbe quarter hour staring at any
thing that attracts their attention. When
atone they stand erect and silent as statues
till they seem about to take root. When tbey
ha vrtompony they are more likely to jabber
as fast as their tongues con move. When tbe
object of their curiosity happens to be
a stranger who is not used to this
sort of admiration, he Is pretty sure
to lie embarrassed, and very like to
become indignant. But it Is only to some ex
tent, as I have said, that tbe 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 tbe country to sell their
jfcodiice. Those who live in Kingston are
hsed to seeing strangers and pay no attention
a 'to them. In Jamaica eyes Park lodge is a
marvel of everything stylish and elegant,
and the darkies coming In from the bills to
bell their bananas and akees and "nice fresh
eggs, boas," can rarely pass the open gates
without stopping to gaze at the wonderful
sight within.
DARKIES SEEING TBI EIGHTS.
It was no uncommon thing to see four or
Ave colored ladies and gentlemen, with
loaded trays balanced on their beads, stand
ing in front of the Park lodge gates at once
fairly drinking in the Oriental magnificence.
- Tbe groat sight consisted principally of the
fountain in the middle of tbe yard and a few
strangers sitting under the archway leading
to the hotel office; 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 bad a
' long walk before them. , It is only fair
- to the colored people of Jamaica to
say tliat they do less of this sort
of thing than their brethren on any other
l!nglib inland In tbe West Indies. In
Monbterrat, for Instance, they regard a
ch ange white man as a colossal aggregated
Circus come to town, and follow him wherever
be goes. In Nassau, though they are used to
seeing strangers, tliey surround a new arrival
in droves, and make great efforts to secure a
sixpence or even "a big copper, boss." In
Jtarbadooa, where the Improvement of the
jiogro race under British rule is seen to the
Lest advantage, they set after a newly ar
rived stranger like a crew of Malay pirate
till he is driven to take refuge in tbe nearest
shelter. But to Jamaica they are quiet, in
offensive, and generally well behaved and
polite. Of course those who make infrequent
trips from their country borne to the capital
feel bound to see tha Bights when they are in
town. I thought at first that these lads and
lasses with trays on their beads who stopped
to stare in the gate were waiting for a chance
to sell their wares; but they bad no such idea.
Two or three special ones came in every
morning to sell eggs and fresh fruit, bat tbey
were aiL One morning a girl came In with a
dozen fine alligator pears, which 1 bought for
a few pennies; but I found soon afterward
that I bad oaptured tbe hotel's supply for the
day, and I bad to surrender tbein.
C?r.e of tbe earliest arrivals every morning
was tha man who sold photographs. This
Aftle I rive bina, Tbe man who sold photo
graphs," partly out of courtesy and partly
becauxe I do not know what else to call him.
He was hardly a man, although be bad the
outward appearance of one, for be bad no
more mtelligence than one of tbe goldfish in
the fountain, and be did not sell photographs,
for nobody ever bought any; tbe pictures he
ottered wore hardly worthy tbe name of pho
tographs, being the worst smudges tbe sun
was ever made accountable for.
TH VICTORIA MARKET.
Pork lodge is perhaps a trifle over a mile
from tbe end of tbe street car line, and the
market is one short block from thp terminus.
This is the Victoria market, the principal
one in Kingston. There is another, called
tbe Jubilee market, in another part of the
city. The Victoria market I consider the
finest in the West Indies. In tbe early morn
ing it is crowded with bpyersaellers and
goods, and by early morning fmean from G
to 0 o'clock. It U a wonder of a market for
any West Indian city, built entirely of iron,
SOU feet long, and 1(30 feet wide. The ends
OHof sides are open, there being no side walls,
''it3 none are needed, but tbe whole place is
surrounded by a tall iron railing mounted on
a brick walL Everything about it is as
clean and sweet as possible, and even whef
the fish and meat stalls are full one smells
nothing but the sweet odors that float over
from tbe flower places. It cost about fl?Q,
000, and is well worth the money.
"The beef, it is all raised on the island, and
U originally very good beef before it goes
into the hands of tbe butchers. But they
kill it and sell it tha some morning, appar
ently cutting the whole animal into slices cr
chunks, without regard to choice parts or
poor ports. I know the beef is good when
properly handled, because whenever I dined
in a private house the roasts were excellent,
having no doubt been kept for some time oti
ice; but in" the hnteL where it was used within
b few hours of its coming from market, it
was utterly unfit to put on tbe tabla. The
mutton, too, was good when properly Iced;
but the best Southdown lamb, if killed at
dayliglit, would not be fit to use for break
taat 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
Tory largely for tbe wretched meat com
monly served in that part of the world,
itoat mtat la not to be laughed at, provided
it comes out of a tander kid. J ate my first
plate of roost 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 tbey are
very small. Tbe native way of keeping
bouse is to send a servant to market in the
morning to buy provisions for the day, and
for oca day only, and these will erbaps in
clude a pound of onions, two cents' worth of
small vegetables, a pineapple, and every
thing on tbe same moderate sea la Thar is
reason for this, for scarcely anything will
keep without ice, and ice is dear even when
cheap, because in hot climate it melt so
fast.
These early morning boors for sight teeing
and noticing the habits of tba people were
for better than tbe evening. I have always
made it a rule to be tinder a roof if pca-ille
after dark in tropical countries, and to tui 1
attribute in great part my escape from a
single day's illness in all my years of resi
dence and visiting in the West Indies. But
there are many nights in tbe worst climates,
even, when one can be out with perfect
safety. You loam in time to tell by tbe feel
of the air whether It is safe or not. William

A Richly Merited Rebuke.
Tbe literary wife of a western senator
went to bear Riley one night; the price for
tbe author's readings were too high for Jher
purse, and sho gladly availed herself of a re
duced rate to bear tbe star of tbe combina
tion. 8be was much in earnest. It chanced
that her seat lay among a lot of frivolous
women to whom tho going was a "fad."
They did not care for Itiley nor bis reading,
and tbey talked small talk all tbe evening.
The senator's wife was distracted by their
clatter; she could not follow the reader, and
she sent several severe glances to tbem with
out avail. Finally sho could sit under the
outrage no longer, and, rising, she 6aid in a
tone loud enough to be 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
people hear what they jmid their money for,
not your nonsense." There was quiet in that
neighborhood through tho remainder of tbe
programme. Washington Letter.
'Bagging at the Knee.
A great many inquiries are mode 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 cant help it. The bagging can be less
ened by frequent pressings and taking good
care of them, but as long as men bend their
knees in walking their pants will bag. Tbe
skin would also, if it didn't settle back. A
great many men pull thjfcir pants up on their
knees when seated to pi event their bulging.
This is very foolish. The smallest part of tha
trousers is that around the calves of the legs,
and, of course, in pulling them up and bend
ing the leg a greater strain is brought to bear
on the cloth. There might be some way to
sponge tbe cloth so it w ould not stretch so
much, but so for no tailor has succeeded in
hardly lessening the cause of the complaint.
The tailor who does make tbe discovery will
at the same time make a fortune. Tailor in

"Loud Dress" of Actors.
It seems to the ordinary observer that as
soon as a person adopts tbe stage as a profes
sion tbe aforesaid adopter must instantly put
himself or herself on the outside of tho
flashiest, loudest and broadest clothing and
dress tbatxuan can conceive o hw Weave.
It looks to the common, everyday, plain
American citizen that the dress is affected to
save the adopters from carrying a perambu
lator sandwich reading on both sides, "I am
an actor," in all tho glory of yellow, red and
green letters. The men get into the queerest
cMt garments tbey con find, and tbe women
itro always looking for soma headpiece,
waistpieco or gawgaw that will attract the
gsze of tbe gaping multitude. Fine feathers
may make fine birds, but loud dress on tbe

Tlie Prairie lark's Ixve Song.
As the full springtime comes on tbe 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 tho love
fires aro kindling and that each musician is
striving to tbo utmost of his powers to sur
pass oil rivals and win tbo lady lark of bia
choice. On oce occasion, as I lay in biding
near a fence, three lark3 came skimming
over the plain; they alighted within a few
yards of me, and two of tbem burst into
song, sometimes singing together and some
times alternately, but tbe third was silent.
When at last they flew up J noticed that the
silent one and one of tho singers kept to

Clam Shell SCO a l-air.
CoL Silas Moore, of Southington., sold
a pair of clain, shells last week for $G0.
The pair were two feet and ten inches in
length and about one foot and ten inches
wide, and weighed 304 pounds. Col.
Moore is the owner of a pair weighing
330 pounds, which ho would not sell for
$100, These large elam shells came from
the Mediterranean sea, and there are
some in Italy which weigh 700 pounds.
Most of these shells have a blemish, but
in a public museum, where they are not
bandied, the blemish may not be seen.
In a private collection it io desirable to
have perfect shells. Col. Moore's $ 100
6hells are perfect and the finest in the
United States. There are parts of the
meat of these big clams which are good
food. 04. Moore has seen a clam steak
six inches wide and a foot long. In his
collection are clam shells bo small that
ten pairs would not weigh an ounce. To
outweigh tho 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
be easy to satisfy bis wants in any part of
the country. How the cream and butter
como to be sq good is a mystery to me,
for assuredly the Finnish cows are the
wow,t and most scantily fed of their kind.
What other cow that respected herself
would be satisfied with bay soup in which
the water formed so unfair a proportion
to the hay? Tho most meagre looking
hay, mixed wth tho dried branches of
alder, simmers in a huge iron pot, and
ono sees the poor beasts dipping their
noses into the unsavory broth and fishing
out its soddened contents with the evi
dent relish of hunger. It was complained
to mo by a resident in the country that
cows could not be induced to look upon
sawdust as the staple of their food. How
far he had seriously made the trial I do
not know, but should he ever succeed,

STUFFING THS MEMORY.
That Faculty Cultivated In Our Schools a4
tba Kspena of Otbar Power.
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 tboy did to giving a child any
amount of practical knowledge. Tbe educa
tional premium Is now for stuffed memories.
That faculty and organ is cultivated at tha
expense of other powers. The "smart" boy
or girl is the oue who can repeat the most
names, dates, word 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 months.
Such over stimulation of memory deadens
other faculties. This is often proved. The
smart scholar in after life very often be
comes tbe literary drudge to tbo very man
who when a boy at school was called stupid
because be wouldn't learn his lesson. Bo fur
as a certain practical success in life is con
cerned it was fortunate for him that -be
wouldn't or couldn't make of his braiu a
stuffed mental sausage case full of names,
dates, boundaries, delinitions and sentences
of whose real meaning (if there was any) be
knew next to nothing. Hod he been thus
turned out the premium prize essay memory
crammed scholur, the mental rag bag, full
of shreds of information, bo 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 li9 did in saying that
"any child was fortunate who escaped the
abuses now rampant in 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 oue factor to pick up and bold what
it needs for the time to carry out such re

indicates tbe drawing out und exercise of
the powers and talents inherent and born i
with a mind, and not tbo cramming of a

Clianncey M. Depew on Oratory.
I think oratory is something that cannot
be taught. Undoubtedly a man can learn to
be a fair talker. He can, by practice, learn
to present his ideas consecutively, clearly and
in what you may caJl "form," but there is as
much difference between this and an oration
as thoro is between a skeleton and a living
human being clad in sensitive, throbbing
flesh. There are millions of skeleton makers,
millions of people who can express what may
be called "the bones" of a discourse, but not
ono in a million who can clotbo 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 you teach
him there is tbe same difference between the
man who is 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 da For instance, he should
never drink water while talking, because the
interest is broken and for the moment be
loses control of his audience, no should
never look at his watch, for tbe same reason.
He should never talk about himself. He
should never deal in personalities. He should
never tell long stories, and if he tells any
story ha should never say that it is a true
story and that ho knew the parties. This
makes it a question of veracity instead of a
question of art. He should never clog bis
discourse with details. He should never
dwell upon particulars he should touch uni
versal, because the great truths are for all
time. New VTk Mail and Express.
The Science of Electricity.
The last twenty years have seen more ad

bell and scare the burglar. We take it as a
medicine, light our gas, see by it, hear from
it, talk with it, and no? we aro beginning to

arises in contemplating this subject: What

Locusts are now a regular part of the day's

that they Rre best plain boiled. The long,

For catching locusts morning is the tune,
when they aro half benumbed by cold, and

When gun cotton or other high explosive

impression produced by the exploding mass
is an almost exact copy of that face of the

it can bo shaped according q fancy, and

"Chains "for Russian Prisoners. -
A point on which falso information has
been spread relates to tho manner prison
era wear their chains, which some, like
the author of "Called Back," would have
us believe is tinder their trousers. Cut
this is purely a hoax. I have in my pos
session pairs of Russian handcuffs and leg
chains, and a prison suit which I obtained
in Siberia, where also I saw scores, not to
say hundreds, of leg chains. The last
consist eaoh of two rings, to be riveted
around the ankles, and attached by a
chain thirty inches long, which, for con
venience in walking, is suspended in the
middle by a strip of leather from the
waist. Between tho rings and the pris
oner's skin there is worn first a coarse
woolen stocking and over that a piece of
thick linen cloth; then come the trousers,
over which is bound round tho shin a
leather gaiter. How, then, could these
chains be worn under the trousers The
chains in my possession weigh five and a
quarter pounds, the handcuffs two; but
of these latter I should observe that in
going across Siberia and through its pris
ons I saw only one man manacled, and ho
a desperado, who, to the crime for which
he was judged, added that of murder in
the prison. Henry Lansdell, D. D., in

Parisian Lack of Comfort.
Each day that I live here, certain things
strike me more forcibly in this great city,
and just now I am trying to solve the
problem of why the French people have
not the many comforts about them that
we Americans have in our so much
younger country. To begin with, they
Are only beginning to have gas put into
their houses from garret to cellar; tele-
E hones in private homes are few and far
etween, and the messenger boy system
is not even known. You can get a mes
senger, it is true, but he is not the bright,
agile American boy, but a man grown old
with hard work. Then he is called by the
dignified name of commissionaire, and ex
pects to be made much of aecordinglv,
and never half does his work. I hive
already spoken of the poor arrangements
for fires. Could we transfer some of our
fire brigades to this fair land, the good
people would fairly marvel at such a won
derful institution. Then, again, the
general use of elevators is only just mak
ing headway, and a hundred other things
that have become second nature to us are
still to be heard of in the city of cities.
