HOLLAND ETIQUETTE.
Cacallant Mlreet Manners of the Jlen
Am Eniittil Couple Wow in at
Home.
SprlnirflcM Republican.
The Dutchwoman lives in constant
fear of inHiilt; and when she is out on
the Hi root she acts as if she was ai raid
that Lor limine brother were goiug to
bito, paw or hug her. Not that the man
are dangerous, for rarel y it is heard
that the boar havo bitten. Look out
on tho street and you will see that the
ladies wulk in tho road and the, gentle-
men on the sidewalk. Always
no, no mutter how muddy or dimty
the road in, or how niuny team
are pawing. A"a.t::li them, and you
cannot help hut notice that tho auntie
men and ladies never speak to each
othor on the street. That would ho a
breach of etiquette that society would
hardly pardon. Even when a man
moots his wife he is not liermitted
to ask what ho hIihII bring home for
dinner I The gentleman bowi first, tho
same as in Franco, and a ludy may have
bows from any number of men whose
names she does not even know. And
the bowing is a marvel 1 The fore
head almost touohes the kees in
the act, and there is no half-way
work about it no nodding or a swooping
touch of the hat, but an entire removal
of the hat to supplement that intense
bow. . Everybody bows, thon take
off thoir huts to one another and pro
foundly bow. Your friend s coachman
or lackey does the same toward you
his master does, and the servants are
just as polito to each other. A ludy
is bowed to by all the friends of her
father, husband or brother; and your
housomaid's friends an woll. Lvcry
man buws to the house of his ludy au'
nnuiutanco when he passes; bows,
smiles, and raises his hut, no mutter
whether tho ladios are visiblo or not.
They return the bow with an over
polite bend of the wholo body.
If a ludy, alone or uocompaniod by
tither ladies, must needs enter a con
foctionory, a library or other place
whoro men will naturally go, and finds
a gentleman or two thorn, she will re
tire as precipitately as if sho had seen a
case of small-pox. 1 no men know tins,
but unless my lord, tho mnn,: hut quite
finished his business ha will not retire.
The lady retreats in a mo it undignitled
manner, and the human b;ar finishes
his book or his chocolate, even though
tho ludy is waiting at tho door for him
to luavo.
As soon as a young lady becomes en
gagod she has to take the young man
around to cull on all of her friends,
sweetly introducing him to all as her
promised husband. After that they pay
visits together liko a married couple.
with the dilTeronce that unlike man and
wifo they sit huiid-iu-liund, uud speak
with the utmost pride of tliuir ougagfl'
ment. A hug or a kiss are vory com
mon in those days of courtship; but
when marriage, comes the two ure us
stifT to each other in company ai
strangers would be, and they address
each other in company us strangers
would, and they address each other us
mynheer and tnovrouw.
iiut a chungo comes over the woman
at homo. No longer is she the afraid
body of the street. She has at hand
tho kettle of hot water, tho Hat irons
and the oilier articles of do!o;isu that a
woman ran use if necessary, uud no
longer does nho fear tho bears, film is
quite "at ho'iie. She does not put her'

The .llnsnriUiu of London.
(Ths Conliiient.
Mr. Richard Jeffries, in his essay on
"Nature Near London," remarks upon
the way in which tho magnetism of
London is a force in its remotest sub
urbs, and the inlluenco of tho mighty
city is felt in its most rural environ
ments, "In the shadiest lane," he says,
"in tho still pine-woods, cm the hills of
purple heath, after brief contemplation
there arose a restlessness, a fooling that
it was essential to be moving. ' In no
grassy mead was thero a nook where I
could stretch myself in slumberous ease
and watch the swallows ever wheeling,
wheeling in the sky. That something
wanting in the fields was the absolute
quiet, peueo and rest which dwell in ths
meadows, and under the trees, and on
the hilltops in tho country."
Tho inevitable end of every foot-path
round about London is Loudon; tho
proximity of the immense city induces
a montal, a nerve rcstlcssncsi ; and, as
you sit and dream, you cannot dream
for long, for something plucks at tho
mind with constant reminder "that the
inland hills, ami meads, and valleys, are
like Sinbad's oocan, but that London
is liko the magnetic uiouutain which
draws all ships to it."

TOYS AND NATIONAL TRAITS.

Brooklyn Union.
"Show me a nation's toys," sad Mr.
Crandall. the "children's friend," "and
I will tell yon what kind of people they
are. Now, tho Germans, you know, are
a great toy nation ; thoy go in for quan
tity rather than quality. Thoy manu
facture cheap toys, and every child in
the country has thorn. Every German
child, sir, has plenty of toys. What is
the result? Why, we find them the most
sociable, kindly, honest people in tho
world ; possessed of all tho household
virtues; kind to their wives and chil
dren. Then tho French; they go in
for quality rather than quantity ; every
thing ther muke is a work of art; their
children have few toys, and thoso they
have are very expensive, and must be
played with in a quiet, genteol way.
riow do you find the Freudi Why,
very polite, rcfiuod, suave.
"Take tho Chinese. They are a great
toy nation; they ascend to tho sky and
descend iuto tho sou for ideas in regurd
to toys, und spure no puins in making
thorn. Dragons and giants and dwarfs
and strungn fish and sou-serpents and
curious nondescript beings and animals
all servo, and they give the children
plenty of them; result is that tho Chi
nese are like the Germain, anong
themselves sociable, great for feast days
and celebrations, and very industrious.
Japanese are much the same. The Eng
lish now run more ou outdoor toys and
games which exercise projectiles, ten
nis, foot-bull, cricket, shinny, hoop,
marblos. Tho boys play ta und pull
away and all such running games, and
the girls play ring games. How do we
find the English? Jovial, athletic,
rough and boisterous. A gun, loo It at
the Spaniards; very few toys thoy usV
What's tho resuit? Why, they are
trea 'lierous, harsh, iimdacabln. Then
the Indiansour own Indians the only
toy they havo is the bow. Well, now,
this cultivated the killing instinct only.
What was ths rcs:ilt? Why, we had
to kill them nil oil', they wero entirely
untamable. Tho Esquimaux, ho has no
toys at all, and he is the meanest speci

A Woman In Love Only With S.lrln.

Miss A loot t carries tho burden of her
fid years lightly. If you meet her now
you would see a stately lady, unusually
tall, with thick, dark hair, clear-seeing,
blue-gray eyes, and strong, resolute
features, full of varied expression.
How woll 1 rememb'r the humorous
twinkle in her eves, which half belied
tho grave earnestness of her manlier,
when she told me once that she was in
clined to believe in the' transmigration

she, "that I might have been a horse

do you think that?" I asked, in the

the blue-gray eyes sparkled with

in my life with so mauy pretty girls,

Chinese Weapon-Making.
A correspondent of The London
Telegraph who has visited the great ar
senal at Canton, now entirely under
control of Chinamen, declares that it is
turning out breeoh-loiuling rilles, artil
lery, and machine guns of the best pat
terns and of excollent quality and llnish.
"Ono thing," writes the correspondent,
"was ovident namely : That China
mon here knew enough to muke their
own weapons. As thero nro those who
think that iu the event of war China
would bo at a loss for breech-loading
arms, it is as well to mention that at
Canton, and Shanghai, too, I saw cases
of machinery not yet put up quite sulH-
lent to set another arsenal or two into
working order; and that nt Tientsin
and Foochow arsenals there are, as
well as at tho two first-mentioned
places, plenty of Chiuamen who under
stand enough of tho art of weuon-
making to get all this machinery into
working order."

parentage and of Ilopiiblican impulses.
They crossed each other curiously at
times. 1' or instance, he co.ild hardly
muke a Kpeech without going to see whut
was the litora'uio or the subject, und
bring ng to bear all the foreign und
English authors. He had fir , -at re-ipect
fur anybody who hud reached distinction
iu our service, or any other country's
service, partr ulurly in t ie line of
diplomacy und c inrt life. He was gov
erned wry much by whut he had read,
lie lived ery much amongst his books.
At the same time, while ho rendered
noiiiugi) to men of record, ho exacted it
for himself. Therefore his speeches
seem to la k that original strength thut
comes from the native western or Amer
ican mind. They reud like the speeches
of Burke or some of the old Englidi
parliamentary orators."
"Since yo i nro ou this question,"
said I, "tell mo which of the men oi
Massachusetts stands the best among
her people.'
"Do you mean living men or dead
ones?" said tho major.
Take them all in," said I, and to
start the major oil' I ment'onod John
Adams.
"I think Duuiel Webster," replied
Mr. Poore, "stands about the best
And he stands a great deal better now
than he did a few years ago. when the
anti-slavery passions opera! cd against
his fume. Webster is growing uguin.
A liberal concession is being made to
his limitations and necessities. Our
people know that he was deviled to
death by such men as Abbo't Lawrence
considering him to be their business
factor in the senate and government,
and going down there to make him do
things that were agninst his principles,
and that kept him in a consciously false
position. Webster had on obliging
tieurt, and he allowed himself to be
bullyragged many a time by tho old
magnate of tho state, wh: considered
him nothing; more than the lawyer they
had formerly employed."
"Who else stands high in Massachu

sidered by a thoughtful, intellectual
element there. In more modern times
John A. Andrew stands particularly
high for his attention to tho soldiers.
Massachusetts has had from the
earliest times a strong military instinct,
and the governor who steps o it with
tho soldiers nnd sees that I hey are
taken euro of holds n grateful place.
Andrew continues to be the modern
type of Massachusetts Wobstjris for
given for his u:t'inpt ou the shivery
question to span the whole co intry, in

Massachusetts at thut time."
" W hut is thought about John luincy

A few davs ufler the rebels had been
driven ' from liosuca the place was
visited by a terrific thunderstorm. Tho
I'liiou regiments were mo cly resting,
uud hud arranged no permanent shelter.
As the clouds ro e and the wind in
creased, the pup tents were pitched nnd
pegued close, and gum blankets donned,
shawl fashion. As the men were
crouching under the little white shel
ters, there was a vivid tluBh, u terrific
crash, und mon who had stormed in
treiichmetits a few days ago, started in
terror to leave tho ground. Tho light
ning had struck a house in which as
stored great quantities of shells, car
tridges nnd powder. Tho men had,
with soldier quickness, caught tho
meaning of tho crash. They saw the
sentinels about tho ammunition house
struck down as if by cannon balls, saw
tho boxes of ammunition hurled among
tho explosive shells, nnd without a
word thoy darted as one man away from
the place.
A shout caused them to pause. A
single man was creeping toward tho
place marked by tho little column of
smoke. He moved quickly, reached out
his hand with strange energy, and rais
ing a mass of burning tow or tilling,
shouted simply, "All right." Tho men
stopped, gave an answering shout of re
lief, and returned to their tents to sit
through tho fury cf tho storm, scarcely
noticing the drenching they got, in tho
wonder over the fact that lightning
should strike among boxes of shells nnd
cartridges and not cause an explosion,
and confusing themselves over the ques
tion of why tho man went forward and
prevented a general disaster by lifting

ERICSSON'S "DESTROYER."
The Destroyer is a marvel of compact
ness and power. Sho is I'M feet long,
carries a gigantic gun that is thirty feet
long, and yet has in her hold, all below
the water line, the most powerful
murine engines known. There are nine
seiuirate engines all within that spucj,
and none of them are near enough to tho
surface of the water to be reached by
modem urmninent.
The Destroyer can travel at a rate of
speed thut would exceed that of any
steam yacht. Her regular speed is
sevento n miles an hour through almost
any waters; and when going at the rate
of thirteen miles an hour can be fumed
about within twice her own length.
The destructive power of the cx
ploMves thut w ill bo put into tho torpo
does intended for the Destroyer's use
will equal -1(10 tons of powder, sulli
cieut to blow to utoms the lurgest and
most heuvily armor-plated man of-war
now atlout. The crew on a vessel
htruck by ono of those torpedoes would
sciirci ly reulize what had touched their
vessel. The gnn on the Destroyer will
nciid such o torpedo 1MI0 feet iu two
seconds. The trials already made
have demonstrated that. A fust craft,
going ut full speed, could not cs. upe
the torpedo, if the range is accurate
Tho purpose of the tests now with the
gitn ill be to discover exactly how
much tho course of the torpedo through
tho water is varied by the action of
tides or other influences. Shooting
torpedoes under water is an
untried science as yet, and pro
ficient gunners in that business
must be educated to its requirements.
All armor-pi nted ships have their armor
from two to three feet below water-mark
only. Their dranght of water yarieS,
however, and it is to accustom the gun
ners to make accurate ranges for such
variations that we are now practicing.
The torpedo does not come into view
before striking tho object aimed at, but
goes through tho water ten feet below the
surface of tho wuter.
A long net is used for the target. The
dummy torpedo goes through U nnd by
estimating the locution of the holes made
we kuow the exact deflections, horizontal
or lutcral, made by the torpedo during
its passage from the gun to the net. We
will shoot ut a (Hit) feet range.

"FANNY FERN'S" FORTUNE.
Mr. J. C. Derby, the veteran pub
lisher, removed to New York in 1M53,
and set up the publishing business
under the firm name of Derby & Jack
son, und bitter of Derby & Miller.
Duo of his first publications was "Fern
Leaves from Fanny's Portfolio." These
leaves hud been first contributed to
Hostou papers, nnd Mr. Derby noticed
thut they wt re widelv copied und much
talked about. Witii true publisher's
instinct, be saw a book in them and
went on to Hostou to see Funny
Fern, und, if possible, to muke un ar
rangement with her.
He found her living in great poverty;
for, although she hud a husband, she
wus obliged to support herself und chil
dren ns best she could. When Mr.
Derby told her his miss:on she w us ns
much surprised us delighted. Sho was
th n contributing the "Leaves" to The
Olive Hranch mid Trim Fin? nt:?; a
"leaf." Mr. Derby told her that he
would print them in book form and pay
her $1,(100 down for all right iu the
book, or a royalty of 10 per cent. From
the necessities of her case she rather fa
vored the sale outright, but he advised
her totako tho royalty, or, nt any rate,
consult her friends. Sho did so, und
they sustained Mr. Derby 'u judgment.
The book was published, and her share
fortwelvo months amounted to $10,000.
Her reputation was then made, and she
never again had to fight against pov
crtv. Strange to say, her brother, N. P.
Willis, did not see that his sister
possessed nny talent for writing, and
she showed Mr. Derby a letter all
stained with her tears iu which he told
her that she was wasting her time fool
ing with her pen. and thut she had bet
ter go to mnkiiig shirts or some other
business for which she was better fit
ted. This only shows how cusy it is to
le misjudged by one's fainily.lt mny be
that Willis wns out of sorts with her
for marrying the second time and mak
ing such a mess of it. Her first hus
band was an excellent man, but her
second was a failure, nnd she was di
vorced from him. Her third was
James Parton, with whom she lived
happily to the day of her death.
TUK VG LIS ESS OF IT.
Philadelphia Times.
Hut of all hideous sights, that of 500
people lolling and plunging nnd posing
m whut are called bathing clothes is
perhaps the most disgusting. A tribo
of wild Indians at a war-dance are
graceful and beautiful compared with
the army of bathers nt the seashore. It
is difficult to realize thut men could by
any possibility look so silly and that
women could so soon lose all their
charms.
It is not onlv in the surf that bath
ers display themselves. Men with bout
and bow and bare logs of the size of
elephants waddle along the board walk,
mingling with tho silks and satins of
ladies. Women with the shortest
apology for skirts, and stockings show
ing very extensively, march back and
forth out of the water, displaying their
human nature at its very worst. If
any mnn doubts the truth that we are
saved bv clothes, lot him go to Atlantio
City. II any man wants to see in ad
vance the sort of summer resort mil

Atlantic City and henceforth retire to

to do his bathing. Shake a little salt

RAISING SHETLAND PONIES.
M KNTEUrKISB IS WHICH A WISCONSIN
MAN THINKS HE SEES MONEY.
Milwaukee Eveuinj Wisconsin.
L. C. Merrick, at one timo a well
known tobacconist of this city, who has
of lute years devoted himself to stock
breeding, has on his farm, opposite
Gilford s resort, in Waukedia county,
one of tho most remarkable herds of
Slu tland ponies ever bronpht into the
United States. The herd 1 nin'sTS
about fifty, tho little animals be.rg all
beautifully built and in vigorous condi
tion. They have been in their present
quarter only about a month. They
were selected nnd brought over from
the Shetland islands by Max Flowers,
a special representative of Mr. Mer
rick. One of the little ponies, Jnmbo by
name, is the smullestof his species ever
imported into the United States, being
less iu size I bun even the tiny pair of
horses which Ilurnum secured to draw
tho curriutfe of Tom Thumb. Jumbo is
150 inches in height, and as fine a minia
ture model of a stallion as there is in
existence. Heing from the island of
Netluud, Jumlio is properly a Netland
pony, not a Shetland. Alexander, a
pure Shetland stallion, w hich is in Mr.
Merrick's collection, is a handsome aud
very valuable animal. The prices
which Mr. Merrick secures for tho
miuiuture ponies uvernge from $150
upward. Hetius refused an offer of
(500 for a mat. hod pair of the best.
When the ponies were brought from
Scotland, a mouth or so ago, their
shaggy hair wus long and tangled, and
to use the 'express'ou which was most
frequently used concerning them, "they
looked pretty rough."
As is not infrequently the case with
immigrants, their residence in this coun
try has done much to improve their ap
pearance. In the Shetland islands it is
the custom to herd the little animals
after much the same fashion as cattle
ure herded ou our western plains. That
is to say, they ure turned loose and left
to shift for themselves. The islands
aro almost barren of vegetation, and it
is not wonderful that, according to pop
ular belief, the only nutriment which
tho ponies ac pure they get from snif
fling tho wind that blows from more
bountiful climes. It will reudily be be
lieved that whim the ponies arrive here,
fresh from such an uncared-for-existence,
they do not present an appeal ance
remarkable for sleekness. Tho mem
bers of the Merrick herd, however,
utter a month of euiofnltrooming, have
glossy ecu's, and lo ik us if they m'ght
liuvo been brought up in a lady's lap,
like pet poodles.
In a fe -v weeks Mr. Fl wers will re
turn to Shetland, for the purpose of
securing a herd of Shetland cows,
which Mr. Merrick proposes to intro
duce into this country. Shetland cows,
like Shetland ponios, it is said, ure con
structed upon miniature models. Thoy
ure credited with giving a gallon and a
half of milk per day und costing noth
ing to keep. The fame of the elfin
herd has spread through all the sum
mer rcaorts in tho ncighbouhood of the
Merrick furm, and when a Wisconsin
reporter visited the place yesterday he
found a number of curious sight-seers
watching the sportive gambols of the
ponies and making admiring remarks
concerning their beauty and their di
minutive s!ze.

Some three years ago I Injured my left
leg and knee to the extent that I thought
I bad become a permanent cripple. My
knee-cap was twice its natural size, and
my leg was so contracted and shortened
that I could not walk without considerable
fain and Inconvenience. During that time
had tried remedies innumerable, bnt
without receiving the slightest benefit un
til 1 gave St. Jacobs Oil, the great pain
cure, a trial, and much to my delight and
astonishment I began to get better; both
my leg and knee assumed their normal'
condition, and to-day I am free from pain
and can walk as well as ever I did in my
life. I feel it incumbent on my part ta in
form the public of the great benefit I have
received, and heartily recommend St. Ja
cobs Oil to any one suffering from pain,
and feel satisfied It has no equal as a cure.

NEW ZEALAND.
At the New Zealand International Exhi
bition, the magnilicent First Prize Medal
and llighent Diploma were awarded to St.
Jacobs Oil as the best pain-curing and
healing remedy known to mankind, and
among the valuable testimonials given in
support of them, Mr. Wm. Moor, coach
builder, Christ Church, N. Z., certifies
that one application of St. Jacobs Oil
cured him of Sciatica, which statement
was attested by Mr. W. Gee, of the Fost
otlice Department, and Mr. John Black
mere, Sergeant of the Armed Constabu
lary. CAPE OP GOOD nOPE.
Hon. Godfrey Sirhel, member of the '
Parliament of the Colony, Cape of Good
Hone, South Africa, according to the offi
cial report of the proceedings, published
in The Journal, Grahamstown, Cape of
Good Hope, arose and said: He could speak
from experience: he had spent a small
fortune, and could obtain no relief from
the medical profession. Ho had tried cal
omel, quinine, strychnine, and finally St.
Jacobs Oil, and it cured him. If members
affiicted with Neuralgia would only take
his advice they would get a bottle of St.
Jacobs Oil, and it would cure them.
CANADA.
The Hon. Billa Flint, Life Senator of the
Dominion Parliament, Belleville, Ontario,
Canada, writes: "I tried St. Jacobs Oil foi
ague in my face and toothache. It acted
like a charm. A few times rubbing with
it took away all soreness and pain; better
than having them drawn at the age of
seventy-seven."

from abroad are familiar to the public,
writes, as a result of his close observation
in Egvpt and the Holy Land, thut St. Ja

to lie a blessing to suffering humanity,
and that wherever he has traveled,
whether in England, France, Germany, or
elsewhere, the same unqualified praise is
given to tho Great German Itcmcdv as a
conqueror of pain.
