A race meeting ia much the same all file world over, and the Nice gathering can hardly be called the exception. There is the same noisy crowd and emsh at the railway station—the races are held at Le Var, some few miles oat of Nice proper—and the familiar line of beggars, blind, halt, lame and more so, as ready with curses as blessings—all the way from the station to the course. The three card trickster, the fortnne teller and the whole brotherhood of the ring, each with bag and board, the lat ter bearing an English name, as a rale, are to be seen, each in his appro priate place. The sun may shine with greater regularity and brilliance and the landscape with its slim rows of eucalyptus trees look more delicate and fragile than we are accustomed to, but otherwise all has the appearance of-the “correct card.” It is a charming little course at Le Var, and in fine weather it would be difficult to find anywhere a more repre sentative gathering of beanty and fash ion than may he seen in the paddock on a big day.—Pall Mall Budget. Missionaries. Archdeacon Farrar sets forth forcibly the large debt of science to missions in these words: “Is it nothing that through their labor in the translation of the Bible the German philologist in his study may have before him the gram mar and vocabulary of 250 languages? Who created the science of anthropol ogy? The missionaries. Who rendered possible the deeply important science of comparative religion? The mission aries. Who discovered the great chain of lakes in central Africa, on which will turn its future destiny? The mis sionaries. Who have been the chief explorers of Oceanica, America and Asia? The missionaries. Who discov ered the famous Nestorian monument in Singar Fu ? A missionary. Who dis covered the still more famous Moabite stone? A missionary. Who discovered the Hittite inscriptions? A missionary. ’ ’ —Exchange. A Possible Derivation of “News.” The word is not, as many imagine, derived trom the adjective new.

Mahone'a Flesh Wound. General Mahone was wounded at sec ond Manassas, and some one, to comfort Mrs. Mahone, said: “Ob, don’t be un easy.

'There is not flesh enough on him for that.” Those who have seen General Mahone can ap preciate the remark.—Buffalo News. Would Feel Natural. Wife—What effect will these powders have?

On rinsing with water a gray ish white stain will be seen if the metal is iron; a black one if it is steel.—'10 ronto Mail. Under Officer (to new cavalry recruit) —Never approach the horses from be hind withont speaking. If you do, they’ll kick you on that thick bead of yours, and the end of it will be we’U have nothing but lame horses in the squadron. An old lady who claims “to know all about it” says the only way to prevent steamboat explosions is to make the en gineers “bile their water on shore.” In her opinion “all the bustin is done by cooking the steam on board the boat.” There are just three women physicians j in the state of Delaware, and not one ' of these is native born. There are no 1 women lawyers, women journalists or women ministers in the state. hire was originally used to designate the proprietor of a farm. Rising in dignity, it was afterward applied to a nobleman, then used in addressing a monarch. Love with a young man is never so ' serious as with a'yonng girl, because he | has his mustache to distract hie atten tion. I THE OUO HARPOONER. A Bit of the I*oetry That Has Gone Oat of Whaling Life. The gallant seaman who in all tho books stands in tbo prow of a whaling boat waving a harpoon over his bead, with the line snaking ont into tho air behind him, is only to be found now in Paternoster row. The Greenland seas have hot known him for more than a hundred years, since first the obvious proposition was advanced that one could shoot both harder and more accurately than one conld throw. The swivel gun. like a huge home pistol, with its great oakum wad and 28 drams of powder, is a more reliable bnt a far less pictur es!] ue obiect. But to aim with such a gun is an art in itself, as will be seen when one con siders that the rope is fastened to the neck of a harpoon, and that as the mis sile flies the downward drag of this rope most seriously deflect it. So difficult is it to make sure of one’s aim, that it is the etiquette of the trade to poll the boat right onto the creature, the prow shooting up its soft, gently sloping side and the harpooner firing straight down into its broad back, into which not only the fonr foot harpoon but 10 feet of the rope behind it will disappear. Then, should the whale cast its tail in the air after the time honored fashion of the pictures, that boat would be in evil case, but fortunately when frightened or hurt it does no such thing, but?curls its tail up underneath it, like a cowed dog, and sinks like a stone. Then the bows splash back into the water, the barpoon er hugs his own soul, the crew light their pipes and keep their legs, apart, while the line runs merrily down the middle of the boat and over the bows. There are two miles of it there, and a second boat will lie alongside to splice on if the first sbonld run short, the end being always kept loose for that pur pose. And now occurs the one serious danger of whaling. The line has usu ally been coiled when it was wet, and as it ruDS ont it is very liable to come in loops, which whiz down the boat between the men’s legs. A man lassoed in one of these nooses is gone and fifty fathoms deep before the harpooner has time to say, “Where’s Jock?” Or if it be the boat itself which is caught then down it goes like a cork on a trout line, and the man who can swim with a whaler’s high boots on is a swimmer in deed. Many a whale has had a Par thian revenge in this fashion. Some years ago a man was whisked over with a bight of rope round his thigh. “George, man, Alec’s gone!” shrieked the boat wteerer, heaving up his ax to cut the line. But the harpooner caught his wrist. “Na, na, mun,” he cried, “the oil money’ll be a good thing for the widdia. ” And so it w’as arranged while Alec shot on upon his terrible journey.- -A. Conan Doyle in McClure’s Magazine. Cleanliness In One Home. Alexander Selkirk resides in Detroit, and, strange to say, his wife’s maiden name is Robinson. She is, take her a’ in a’, the very pink o’ perfection. When he comes hame at e’en, he is obligated to take off bis boots in the passage. She hands him his slippers. When he puts them on, be jumps frae ae mat to an ither till he reaches his chair. When he sits doon to supper, she ties a bib round his neck and twa or three nap kins on his knees. If a morsel o’ beef or bread should happen to fa’ on the floor, she directs his attention to it and informs him that a guilty conscience needs nae accuser. Her stove shines as bright as her coal black eye, aDd her tinware sparkles on the wall like dia monds in the darkness. When he is sitting on a chair, she will not permit his back to touch fhe back of it. He sits bolt upright. In a private conversation he said: “Sir, my wife bangs a’; she is the trigest wife I ever saw. In her pernickety ways I sometimes think that she is just rather to the rather. Yet wi’ a’ her faults 1 wad be as mad as a March hare if onybody was ignorant enough to apply to her the auld saying that a’ clean glove sometimes covers a dirty hand.” j —Detroit News-Tribnne. Measuring Hardness. For determining the hardness or fria bility of certain substances M. Bosiwal has described to the Vienna academy a new method devised by him which is characterized by entire simplicity. The measurements consist in comparing the losses of weight sustained by the bodies under investigation by scratching them with a given weight of polishing ma terial mounted on a metallic or glass base until the substance loses its effi ciency, the polishing appliances com prising dolomitic sand, emery and pure corundum. The diamond is assigned its place in the scale of hardness by comparing its effectiveness as a polish ing agent with that of corundum, prov ing 140 times as hard as the latter, and to these succeed topaz, 194; quartz, 175; adularia, 59.2; apatite, 8.0; flourspar, 6.4; caicite, 5.6; rock salt. 2.0, and talc, 0.04.—New York Sun. That Boy Again. "It makes me tired,” said Mr. Figg, "to see the style the Henderbys put on when every one knows that they are as poor as—as poor as” “Plaster,” interrupted Tommy. “Yes, as poor as plaster, poor as plaster —porous plaster. If you don’t send that impudent kid to bed in five minutes. I’ll lick him till he can’t see.” Then Mr. Figg put his hat on well down over his eyes, and not heeding his wife’s advice to wear his overshoes went down town.—Indianapolis Journal.
