MIKE'S SIGNS.
How an Intt-lllgiMit lrUliimui I'ohimI a n
I'rotiasiir.
The writer heard the following story
a few evenings since. To him it was
very amusing, as well as a good illus
tration of the aptness of dilVerent minds
to misconstrue the same facts in quite
opposite directions.
Some time ago a learned Frenchman
became very enthusiastic on the subject
of a universal language for the human
race. After much thought and theo
rizing on the subject he came to the
conclusion that the only language that
could be universal ut the present day
must bo a language of signs. Hcing
deeply impressed with the importance
of tli is language t'o humanity, he deter
mined to travel from country to country
and teach it in all their colleges and
universit es.
As it happened, the lirst country he
reached in liis travels was Ireland, and
the lirst itist tut on he went to was the
University at Dublin.
lie called upon the President of the
University, and after some conversa
tion With him asked him if he had a
professor of signs in li s University.
Now there was no professor of signs in
the University, but the President, not
wishing to be behind the learned
Frenchman, told him that they had one.
The President was asked to be intro
duced to him. The Presidentwastaken
aback at this, but told him that he
could not see the Professor that day,
but if he woidd call the net day at the
same hour he would introduce him.
After the Frenchman had gone the
President called his professors together
and told them the lix he was in. and
told them that one of them must, play
the part of professor of signs next day.
They all demurred and objected to this,
being afraid that they might lie caught
by the Frenchman.
As none of them were willing to play
the part, they at last decided to train
Mkc. tli" chiir.'inan. for it. Mike hid
lost an eye, and was very sensitive
about it, thinking that people were
constantly noticing it and making allu
sions to it.
Mike was consulted, and consented
to play Iho part, providing that the
Frenchman should not refer to his de
feet. The nevt day the President and pro
fessors dressed Mike up in a good suit
of clothes, took him to a recitat on
room, seate I him alone on the plat
form, ami then retired, for the French
man was to see li'm alone. 15 'fore
they left him they told h'm w hat to do,
ami that he must not spi ak.
He replied. "Sure I 11 not, if he si'
lioth'n" about me oye.-'
At the siiipointed time the Frenchman
called, uiui was ushered into the "recitation-room
of the Professor of Sign-."
The President and profc-sors waited in
an adjoining room anxiously for the re
sult. In a short lime the Frenchman
came buck to them, apparently much
pleased.
"How did you like our Professor of
Signs?"' iniuired the Presid 'lit.
"Very much indeed. I congratulate
you on your aide Professor. 1 am more
than ever convinced that the language
f signs is to be the universal language.
When I went into the room 1 held up
no linger, meaning there isonetiod.
He understood me at o ice. and held up
two lingers, meaning Father and Son.
1 then held up three lingers, meaning
there are three persons in tin? Trinity.
He replied by doubling up his hand,
meaning: And these three are one. I
then withdrew. It is wonderful, lam
delighted."
After the Frenchman had gone, the
President and professors sent in haste
for Mike, for though they were
pleased at having gotten out of the
dilemma, they were very anxious to
hear Mike's account of the inter
view. Mike came in, very angry. "I
tould yez he would say .-omWhing
about rue oye. The lirst thing he d-d
as till liould up wan linger, in anin
I had bat wan eye."
"What did "von do then, M kei'"
ftsked the President.

PUBLIC CONDUCT.

(iood behavior everywhere marks the
lady and gentleman. Hough, ill-mannerly,
unseemly conduct dil nguish the
boor. Just what constitute, good be
havior, however, is a mutter annul
which dillcf eiicei of opiuioi prevail.
Mere awkwardness may iud rate only
lack of knowledge and conse u 'ut cm-barras-nient,
and not r.nlene s, in tie
uninauih rlv sense. There are persons
who simply fail in pol ten nut frum
intent on, but from a lack of knowl
edge. Mere suavity is mil nt' p,,li:e.

liteness ut a street car. at church, in
the theater, on the street, and in any
public place, is diU'crciit from that in a
parlor, as to its form of man festatioii.
Touching rleeet ears, it is oficn a
question whether gentlemen should nl
was rise and oiler ladies their seals.
No do'ibt it is polite to do so. In the
case of the aged or iiilirm. or a woman
with a child in her aims, it is specially
desirable that the seat should be oll'ered.
Hut in other case-, while it is polite to
do so.'.t is also equally polite to recog
nize the courtesy. Ladies have them
selves to blame for the lack of courtesy
in this particular that is often seen.
Iiecaiise they do not acknowledge the
lavor, and also because they are not
usually careful to give room for others
when they might, an indillercnce to the
courtesy due them is soiuet'ines .seen.
It is far more common than was (he
case years ago for ladies to be left
standing in crowded ears. Tlie reason
is what we state above. Were they
more courteous they would receive
more al tent on in the particulars named.
It is not, expected that strangers should
cultivate familiarity, but there are little
concessions of courtesy that contribute
tocase and comfort that are proper in
all publ c daces. And when these are
shown they are apt to be reciprocated.
And this ton dies the essen-o of what
is politeness in puld e. It iinolvcs the
prompt percept on of the rgiit; and
comforts of others, and the w.ll ngainl
graceful concession of tlie-e. U here
this is clone, even il (he manner be not
all that could be desired, the spirit and
purpose au.-wer. These are apt to be
evident in the manner. And where
there is a purpose and ell'ort lo make
others agreeaide, the essence of true
politeness will appear, lint seilishncss,
that seei.s only personal en joy in. ut. at
the expense of all others, is the e-senee
of iiiipolil 'liess. There appear in pub
lic l:fe many who are polished a to
outward manner who are, at the same
time, at var.ance with all the rules of
goo.l conduct. A stately bow, a pol
ished expression, do not a.iswer'for
that regard for the comfort of others
which is the material element in good
conduct.
How frequently these points are il
lustrated in public places. Tlicre are
per-O'is who are noticed in all public
assemblies for their scif-iinp irlant airs,
their evident cllorl at display, and their
d 's re to attract admiration. Hut they
are egotistic, cold and proud. They
have given pleasure to none. They
only strutted as a peacock would, and
at'racled attention. Another enters,
quiet. una-Miniing. but cheerful and
brght. There is an inviting sin le that
draws k nillv ntteiit on and friendly
fcehng. Soon many gather round lo
be entertained with conversation and
ilel gbted wilh the agreeable manner,

SHADE TREES.

Hi' I nnlitl.
Tier "s noth ng that presents a more
attract. ve appearance to the weary
traveler over the highways of the coun
try, especially in summer, than to see
upon their sid"S lines of shade trees
th it have been se perhaps by a former
general :o I. We Were pained at one
time to bear a fanner say: "I wouldn't
care if there wasn't a shade tree by the
side of the road I don't think lie frost
gets out as soon in the spring and the
,o ids are bad." It has been -a d that
the condition of the roads of a country
are an index lo the c v l.z.it mil of that
country. Although tiie reference was
probaidy to the condition, it might ap
ply with equal propr ety to tin- general
character. There is something grand
about one of these old roads with trees
whose branches interlace over the trav
eled path, forming a -haded arch. Such
scenes are occasionallv met will, and
let the pre-enl general 'on hesitate not
to render such service as they owe to
those who come after them by continu
ing the work of setting shade trees by
the roadside.
If taken in the early spring there is
but little d tlieulty in making trees
grow, if they arc carefully raised and
the roots are not cut oil' loo much.
They can usually be selected in for
ests! and can be taken up w th a clump
of earth. Hefore sett ng the top and
branches should be well ci.t back, and
when placed m tie hole prepared for it
the earth sho.il. 1 be worked about the
roots so as lo conic in jus f ct contact

THE CHAMOIS.
Rome Sfurlra of lot mat 'oiirrrnln TMt
Wllil MioiillHlnm'r.
That chamois lure capable of passing
places that even a cat would hesitate
ut is well know n to every one w ho has
wandered much among the high Alps.
A few months ago I was in the wild an I
desolate region of Pi. Vadre 1, where
It overhangs the great tlrialetsch (ila
cier, iu the Canton des (irisous. From
the glacier I traced chamois tracks,
high up over some very steep snow
slopes, to where the slopes ended at
an absolutely vertical wall of rock.
This wall projeete I like a buttress, and
was probably tifty or sixty feet broad,
and four hundred feel at its base, while
all above was nothing but oveih inging
dill's. On the other side of the buttress
'.he snow slope was continued, and here
the tracks recommenced exactly on a
level with the other ones. How had the
chamois pas-ed that wall? Thai they
had passed it was certain. If il was by
a leap it must have been a terrific one,
and in their flight they would have had
to descritie a horizontal curve like a
bow. The more likely explanation is
they found cracks iu the f'co of the
rock for their wonderful feet, though
even with the aid of a good licl.l-glass
I was unable to delect tlie presence of
the slightest ledge in the precipice at
that spot, lu spite of their surefooted
ness, however, these animals do some
times come to grief. Mr. Whvmper, in
his "Ascent of the Matterhorn," relates
how he found a chamois in the neighbor
hood of lie Stock je, at the head of tlie
Zmutt dlacier. Tie animal had slipped
on the upper rocks, rolled over and
over, down a slope of debris, without
being able to regain its feet; and its
horns call lung in a notch in the rock,
II was unable to free itself, and had
starved to death.
Heeently I met a hunter wilh a cham
ois of forty pounds over his back,
toiling painfully down the lower slopes
of the Aiguille Vert, near Chainounix.
He had been on the mountain for two
days, the result being the one animal,
which he had recovered with great
dilliciilly after he had shot it, as it had
fallen over the precipice. This is a
common occurence, but it is seldom a
hunter will leave his quarry behind him.
Three years ago some Hermans mouut
aimvriiig in the licriese Oberland found
the decomposed body of a chanio's rest
ing on a ledge of rock ab .ut tif y feet
below them; and a few moments later
they were horrilicd to observe the body
ifamanona grass slope several hun
dred feel lower down Py making a
detour they ill innged to reach tho spot.
The poor fellow was lying on his back,
his gun barrel bent double, and the
stock smashed to splinters. His body
was terribly mutilated, and the face
was decomposed beyond all recognition.
His b my hand still chispe I the lock of
his gun. The position lie was lying in,
and the chamois up above, loiil their
ow n story, lie had shot the chamois.
It had rolled over on the ledge, and in
endeavoring to recover it he had lost
his footing and must have been lying
for many weeks w here he was found.
If once the sentinel buck of a herd of
chamois catches sight of a man, all hope
of coining up with Iheni that day is at
an end. Under such circumstances a
hunter will often follow the tracks over
the snow .iud ice all day, pa-s the night
in the shelter of some rock, take up
the trail again on the following morn
ing, when possibly his patience and
perseverance may be rewarded.
The chamois generally keep in herds
of from six to twelve heads, rarely
more. One of the number is always iu
advance, and another one some dis
tance in the rear. These are the ad
vanced and rear guards. Occasiona'ly
they stop. s'liiV ih ' air, and scan the
mountains, a id at tie slightest indi
ca'ionof danger 1'iey give the signal
and the whole lot go bounding awav as
if they had been Caught up by a whirl
wind. If they happen lo be on a glacier
or snow-liehl when started they almost
invariably make for the rocks. This is
probably the result of some instinct
which teaches Iheni Ihal their tawny
co'or renders them less liable to be seen
am mgst the d irk rocks than on the
snow. '- London Uritp.'iic.
