PunlahnirntM Tlint Arc Meted Oat to BrltlNh Sailor. For Infraction of regulations some curious punishments are meted out in the English navy. It Is an everyday occurrence, says London Tit-Bits, to seo half u dozen sailors lined up on deck facing the paint work, holding their hammocks on their shoulders. At first the hummock isn't heavy, hut aft er an hour or so It drags on one's shoul ders like lead. Resides, it Is not at all entertaining to stare fixedly at a square foot of painted woodwork for an hour or more at a time. Another punishment that Jack de spises is bailing with u spoon. Ho Is placed upon the deck, with two large wooden buckets, one filled with water and tho other empty. With a spoon be must dip all tho water from one buck et and transfer It to tho other, being, meanwhile, Uie butt of his comrades' jests and Jeers. Sometimes a delinquent is made to walk Hlowly backward and forward along the deck, nursing In his anna a six Inch projectile, weighing a little over 100 pouuds. Once a sailor, who laughed at the stammering speech of his commander, was made to stand up on the forebrldge, In full view of the ship's crew, and laugh for an hour and a half. Spitting upon the deck of a man-of-war Is strictly prohibited. Cuspidors ore placed at Intervals along the deck, and these must be used. Upon some ships, when a sailor Is caught spitting upon the deck, 11 small tub is strapped to his chest, and he Is made to wear It.

ChliiRtfclicn In L'nllko Any Other I'lncc In Ctilfin. For at least 1)00 years tho town Chlngtecheu, In China, has been devot ed to the making of pottery. Every thing In Chlngtecheu belongs to the porcelain and earthenwnro Industry. The houses are for the most part built of fragments cither of old kilns or of tho fire clay covers In which the porce lain Is stacked during firing. The riv er bank is for miles covered with a deep stratum of broken chlnaware nnd chips of fire clay, and the greater part of the town and several square miles of tho surrounding country are built over or composed of a similar deposit. Chiugtcchcu Is unlike anything else in China. The forms, the color, the materials used In the buildings, the at mosphere, are reminiscent of the poorer parts of a civilized Industrial center. There are 10-1 large pottery kilns In the town. The greater part are In use only for a short season In the summer. During this busy season the population of Chingtechen rises to about 400,000 souls, but of this total nearly half are laborers drawn from a wide area of country, who come for the season, live In rows of barracklike sheds aud do not bring their families with them. Visitors to Chingtechen pass along street after street where every shop Is occupied by men, women and children, all engaged In the designing, molding, painting or distributing of pottery. The river bank is crowded for three miles by junks either landing material and fuel or shipping the finished prod uct. Mnnml and Maunder. Neither maund, a basket, nor maun der, to whine or grumble, Is obsolete. Both arc still In common use in South Notts and Leicestershire, at any rate. The former Is used only, however, of a particular kind of basket, used for carrying butter to market. The basket Is nearly square In shape and has two lids opening from the middle part, where the handle is, and It is called the "butter mown" (maund). Maunder Is usually heard in such sentences as "What are you maundering at?" A Northumbrian will say, "He's a maun dering old fool," when the man of whom he Is speaking strings words to gether In a senseless sort of way some what akin to maudllug. London Notes and Queries. The Color of the Ermine. It is n popular idea that tho ermine sheds Its brown summer coat nnd that on the approach of winter a covering of snowy white fur takes its place. This was a natural conclusion, as a possibility of a change In tho color of the fur had not occurred to scientists. Experiments, however, have been made, nnd the brown coated ermine has been placed in a very low tempera ture. Almost Immediately a change wob visible In the color of the fur, and without shedding the creature became snowy white. Snillea. There are many kinds of smiles, each having a distinct character. Some an nounce goodness nnd sweetness; oth ers betray sarcasm, bitterness and pride; some soften the countenance by their languishing tenderness; others brighten by their spiritual vivacity. Lavater. Threats. I consider it a mark of great pru dence in a man to abstain from threats or auy contemptuous expressions, for neither of these weaken the enemy, but threats make him more cautious, and the other excites his hatred aud a desire to revenge himself.

"Folks all well this morning, Tom my?" asked a frlen.l of the family. "Yes'm," replied Tommy. "I am glad to hear it. The last timo I heard from them your papa was suf fering from rheumatic gout and your mamma had neuralgia." "Oh, yes, they've still got 'em. I thought you meant was any of us sick." The Gentleman. It 1b possible for every man to as sume an elegant manner, but the true gentleman Is nature's own nobleman, who never forgets to be polite to ev ery one, and it Is as easy to discern the assumed from the' Innate good brooding as It Is to distinguish pasta from diamonds.
