ing they have in the English language. “Why did Washington let his house die out?” was once asked me by a .Japanese gentleman, who couldn't conceive any reason for such neglect. He thought our great general might have adopted some one to keep his house and
name from perishing.
“How Jong has he lived there?” I asked once concerning a certain person. As “he” Is one of the pronouns that ha<l to be translated into the mental contents of my pupil's brain, he took it to mean “house,” and replied: “Oh, he has been there two hundred
and fifty years.”
“How long have you lived here?” I
asked a merchant.
“Three hundred years,” was the prompt reply, with a look of satisfaction at the thought of his house having* passed through ten generations. We can hardly use the word “parent” without thinking of the duties he has to his child. Hut here, the prevailing thought in this relation, as in all others, is that of duty from the inferior to
the superior.
They had a high ideal, and the noble words are in their books that “the first duty of the parent is to instruct the child in the way,” and “the most efficient teaching is by example.” Vet the burden of the teaching was that children owed everything to their parents. And this obedience lasted
for life.

carted
They Are r*ed on Street Cars In Kalamazoo and Work Well. The latest use for aluminum is for street car tickets, and it must be conceded that the metal is singularly adapted for the purpose, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. A street railway has just made its first issue of these light and ornamental tickets, which are about the size of a silver quarter dollar. One is round, for ordinary fare, the other octagonal, for children. The adult’s ticket is sold by the railroad company to the public at the rate of six for a quarter, and the child’s ticket at the rate of ten fora
quarter.
The company does not allow its employes, either conductors or motormen, to sell the tickets to the public, and disposes of them in ten dollar lots to the several storekeepers, who handle them exclusively. This method of distributing the tickets overcomes to a certain extent the difficulties which have always attended the sale of tickets by employes in connection with the receipt of cash fares. The aluminum ticket has also the great advantage of requiring no cancellation. As soon as the tickets are turned in by the public to the railroad company they are done up in packages and sold again. 11 is said that the tickets are much in favor in Kalamazoo, where they have been introduced, and that they are handled by a great many storekeepers, and even by some of the banks as cash. The use of the tickets docs not clash in any way with that of the ordinary quarter, from which it is easily distinguished, both by the difference in shade of the metal and by its lightness. INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE. Pronounced by the Bed men to Be of Vuftt
Antiquity.
Lieut. II. L. Scott, U. 8. A., recently carried on a long sign conversation with several Sioux Indians before the folk-lore congress. He said of this language, as reported in the Chicago
Tribune:
"Indians of all tribes unite in saying that the sign language is of vast antiquity; that it was handed down to them as were their spoken languages. Those who do the most traveling and meet the greatest number of people of a different tongue have the greatest necessity for Its use. The Comanehes are less versed in its use than any other tribe, because the Comanche is the court language of the southern plains and all need of any other means of communication was consequently but little felt. While many of the signs are immediately suggestive of the object they are Intended to represent, others are greatly abbreviated and conventionalized lieyond recognition. Most of them are made with graceful and flowing gestures, for the Indian, never being crowded for time, prefers grace of motion to rapidity of execution. “There few postures or facial expressions in the sign language, most of the thought b-'ing expressed by the hands. It is a living language, for new signs are constantly brought into use to describe new objects and capable of entire supplanting the spoken language." Insect Sting*. A Vienna scientist has made a series of interesting experiments with the virus of such insects as bees and wasps, and comes to the conclusion that the effectiveness of the irritating substance depends largely upon the mood of the insect. A drop of the flu 1*1 taken from
spring of that year, and among other things discussed was the feasibility of running a dining car over the connecting lines, especially on one train then known ns the ‘lightningexpress,’ which ran between New York and Chicago. Trains as fast as this one were compelled to make two stops for meals while making the run—one at Marshall's, the other at Jackson, twenty minutes for each meal, making fortyone minutes of valuable time lost. “After discussing the question for some time it was finally decided to try it. The seats were taken out of an ordinary coach and tables were put along either side, with stools fastened to the floor, giving it the appearance of a restaurant. The rear half of the baggage ear was fitted up to answer the purpose of a kitchen, and there the cooking was done. Some trouble was experienced in bringing the food from one carlo the other, and when crossing the platform the cinders would rain down on the head of the waiter and into the dishes he was carrying. Sometimes the waiter in trying to hurry across the platform would strike the side of the door with his tray, spilling the dishes and narrowly averting falling from the train himself. The first advancement was made in the waiters, the company after awhile being very particular to get those of a certain color, all of about one size and good looking. The car was a success from the start, the meals being fifty cents
each.”
“The gentleman who recalled the foregoing was at that time.” the Host says, “dining car conductor on one of these cars.”
A VANISHED PEOPLE.
The
.Mystery of a Cavern Which Was
Hullt by Them.
On the shores of lirittany there is a mysterious relic of forgotten ages which escapes the attention of most travelers, says the Million. Far out in the Morbihan sea—across which legend tells us Arthur sailed with his knights in pursuit of the dragon—rises a little island. It can be reached in a boat from the coast only in a calm sea. A Hreton shepherd has a solitary hut upon it and feeds a few
sheep.
Crossing the grassy slope off which they browse the traveler finds himself at the foot of ahill, in the face of which has been excavated a great tunnel or cave, floored, walled and roofed by huge flat rocks. Some archaeologists say that this cavern was the work of the worshipers of the serpent god Hoa—a race that lias passed into oblivion. The unlearned traveler knows only that the mysterious cavern antedates all history; that the rocks of which it is built came from the mainland, a distance of more than one hundred miles inland. No rocks like them make any part of the geological formation of the
island.
Even with our modern engineering knowledge and machinery it would require vast labor and skill to bring these enormous blocks of stone and place them so securely as to defy the wear and friction of ages. How were they brought here by men who had, perhaps, few mechanical appliances—nothing but the strength of their bodies and their faith in a strange
god?
The race who built the temple are dust. Even their names ages ago perished from the earth. Their religion is vanished. These stones are the monuments of their indomitable resolution. That defies the flight of years.
A MOCK WEDDING.
Pennflyiranitt Girl* Amusing Thrirmelven
In the Absence of Young Men.
Society in West Pittston, a wealthy and fashionable town nine miles from here, says a Wilkesbarre (Pa.) correspondent of the Philadelphia IVess, is amused over the recent escapade of twenty prominent young ladies of the place. The girls of the town, those between fifteen and twenty years of age, are a jolly crowd, and are compelled by the lack of young men to amuse thcmselws to u great extent. Some of the most adventurous a few days ago decided upon a novel entertainment and rapidly completed preparations for the affair, which came off recently. The greatest secrecy was maintained, but, unfortunately for the girls, several young men were suspicious of their unusual activity and managed to obtain a clew to their
object—mock marriage.
It was held at the home of one of the young ladies and was a complete success Ten of the girls were attired in men’s suits, three being in full dress. The ceremony was performed in regular style. A temporary altar was formed by a table, the minister stood waiting as the hridaJ party entered the room, the bride leaning on the arm of her pretended father, and the bridesmaids following. Then came six ushers in male attire. The groom and

ilar villages are frequently met with, many of them being inhabited by the ! Indian fishing tribes of the Amazon | estuary. These strange inhabitants were first discovered by Alonzo de Ojeda, who accompanied Columbus on his second voyage to this continent. In heundertook an independent voyage to explore the northern part of South America.and he took with him Amerigo Vespucci, who wrote a graphic account of the expedition. The following extract from a translation of Vespucci’s work gives the origin of the name Venezuela and tells of the connection between the curious village discovered there and the name Venezuela: “Proceeding along the coast they arrived at a vast gulf resembling a tranquil lake, entering which they beheld on the eastern side a village the construction of which filled them with surprise. It consisted of twenty large houses shaped like bells, and built on piles driven into the bottom of the lake, which in this part was limpid and but of little depth. Each house was provided with a drawbridge and canoes. . . . From the resemblance to the Italian city Ojeda gave the bay the name of the Gulf of Venice (Venezia).” The country itself was afterwards called Venezuela, or Little Venice, the original Indian name being Coqulbacoa. In Lake lareuibo, south of the bay of Venezuela, similar pile-buildings are still erected by the Goa joir Indians. THE SLEEP OF FLOWERS. Rlosgom* That Haw Regular Ilmira tor Opening ancl ('Utsing. Why should flowers sleep? asks Sir John Lubbock in "The Beauties of Nature and the Wonders of the World We Live In.” Why should some flowersdo so and not others? Moreover, different flowers keep different hours. The daisy opens at sunrise and closes at sunset, whence its name “day's-eye.” The dandelion is said to open about seven and to close about five; Arenaria rubra to be open from nine to three: the white water lily from seven to four; the common mouse-earhawkweed from eight to three; the scarlet pimpernel to awaken at seven and to close soon after two; Tragopogon pratensis to open at four in the morning and to close just before twelve, whence its English name, "John go to bed at noon.” Farmers’ boys In some parts are said to regulate their dinner-time by it. Other flowers, on the contrary, open in the evening. Now it is obvious that flowers which are fertilized by night-flying insects would derive no advantage from being open by day; and, on the other hand, that those which are fertilized by bees would gain nothing by being open at night. Nay, it would be a distinct disadvantage, because it would render them liable to be robbed of their honey ami pollen by insects which are not capable of fertilizing them. I have ventured to suggest, then, that the closing of the flowers may have reference to the habits of insects, and it may be observed also, in support of this, that wind-fertilized flowers do not sleep, and that many of those flowers which attract insects by smell open and emit their scent at particular hours; thus Hesperus matronalis and Lychnis vespertina smell in the evening, and Orchisbifolia is particularly sweet at night. A DANGEROUS DOLL.
CoDHtorimtloii Created in Alftace by the Gay Press of a Baby's Plaything. The little province of Alsace has had a hard time in many respects since it was conquered by the Germans, says the Youth’s .Companion. Every possible precaution is taken to guard against any demonstration of the French national spirit, ami though the children are allowed to learn the language of their ancestors they nrc not allowed to be taught it by French governesses. ■ The following story shows the extent to which the government formerly carried its practice of watching the people: A few years ago a little girl was seen playing with a doll which was dressed in red, white and blue. The suspicions of the officials were aroused, for It certainly was dreadful to see the power of the German empire so badly threatened. The child was tracked to its home, and there the officer found that the doll was a present. He went immediately to the lady who had given It to the child and obtained the address of the store where the dangerous plaything had been bought. It was a modest little place, but the officer found it at last, and then discovered that the doll had been made and dressed in Leipzig. This .was a surprise, but the matter did not end hero, for the manufacturer in Leipzig was officially requested not to send any more red, white and blue dolls to Alsace. Plight of the tUt. The. leather-wing hat, a terror to girls and a source of unfailing amusement to boys, although far from smooth or graceful in his flight, has a control over his motions in the air such as most birds may well envy him. Naturalists have noted not only the marvelous ease with which he darts up and down in air when seeking his prey, but ho has been observed, when apparently making straight for a brick wall, suddenly to shoot upward almost at right angles, and thus to avoid a collision. Such a maneuver would be quite beyond the power of any bird.

"Early the next summer we started to work it, but my hard luck came toddling along ami did me up.

FAULTS OF OUR HOTELS.
Fiirpignem Complain That the Bread, Soup, Tea and Coffee Are I'oor. Herr Freytagg, a chef at the Russian embassy in Rome for more than thirty years, and afterward the proprietor of the Hotel tics lies liritannlques in that city, told me. says a writer in the North American Review, that a good bed. good soups, good bread anil good tea and coffee were the foundations for an acceptable hotel, and he was right. As a rule, the American hotel is a failure in respect to all of these essentials. It is true, there are more good beds now than there were formerly', but neither the tea, coffee, soup nor bread has improved; if anything, they are worse than thirty years ago; now there is more pretense, i. e., attempts at “style” at the expense of all comforts, which have been banished from the average American machine hotel. Capoul, the French tenor, in one of his published letters about America, said: “This is a wonderful country, with the loftiest mountains, the longest rivers and the largest lakes, but without a soup.” Fifty years ago Judge Grimke, a noted holder of circuit courts in Soutli Carolina, ordered tea at a backwoods hotel; shortly after it was served he sent for the landlady, and astonished her by saying: “Madam, if this be tea bring me coffee, and if this be coffee bring me tea.” This command could, with propriety, be given ip line-tenths of our hotels to-day. w jjtsual hotel coffee would easily pass for some kind of medicine, and often the supposed tea defies recognition. The general aim seems to be to hoodwink patrons with a show of great liberality—hence the dinner bill of fare with from eighty to one hundred and twenty-five items upon it. and the breakfast menu with from forty' to seventy-five. Such a spread of printer's ink looks large, panders to national vanity', and convinces the native that he is not being
swindled.
The Neill■ of Alligators. Alligators’ nests resemble haycocks more than anything else to which they can be compared. They average about four feet in height and about five feet in diameter, and are constructed of grasses and herbage. First, the mother ‘gator deposits one layer of eggs on a mortar-like floor, and having covered this with a stratum of mud and herbage about eight inches thick, lays another set of eggs upon that, and so on to the top, there being commonly from one to two hundred eggs in a nest. With their tails the parents then beat down the tall grass and weeds to prevent the approach of unseen enemies. The female watches her eggs until they are hatched by the heat of the sun, and then takes her brood under her own care, defending them and providing for their subsistence.

Wonderful Success Obtained by Usi"gE b Remedies in Treat - ing Chronic Disease.
A Cnrloua Industry. A very curious industry was establl.shetl in 1801 in New York city, and lasted to the end of the war. it was the manufacture of confederate money. A regular business was done in this, remarkable as it may seem. A man who has twice been in congress since the war from a northern district made a fortune out of the stuff. It could not be told from the gonuiue, the only difference being that the northern article was rather better than that made in the soutli. Plantations were purchased with it, and one of the finest places in Mississippi was bought and paid for in confederate currency that cost the people who used it only about twelve hundred dollars in gold.

He Is Ilie Great Mae Doctor. He is the benefactor of humanity. He is the well known Herb Doctor who has cured so many suffering people around Greencastle
during the past two years.
How can he cure people expected to die?
How can he cure those terrible Chronic diseases with which so many are afflicted? By using a new system of medicine—new to the white race, but well known and hundreds of years old to the Indians. His medicines, over 2,000 in number, are not poisonous drugs, but the natural sweetness of the earth. 8ick people are doctored even by self-styled specialists on poisonous mineral drugs. If healthy people tried to live on them they would certainly die. How, then, can the sick expect to live on them? The best foods tor man or beast are vegetable, therefore they ought to
be and are tiie best menicines for ihe sick. DR. MAN-O-WA only uses vegetable medi-
