At the Nice Race Meeting.
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

are to be seen, each in his appro

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. ’ ’

To Test Steel.
The simplest way to tell iron from
steel is to pour on tbe metal a drop of

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

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.
