feature of tbe oondact of tb« i» spite of tbe rigid discilero is little apparent reality. Paaeditg through tbe aipi Keeper Connaugbton et several convicts walking doing ail errand for a super der keeper. One only in tbe 11U cap at tight of tbe prin

cipal keeper, and moat of them paased by without looking at bitn. Now and then one stepped up to speak to bim, and when this was the cam the sole show of deference, witb •one exception, was a respectful waiting to get some sign of recognition from tbe officer. This lie gave without ceremony, bardly a nod, usually a simple glance at tbe convict.

Very few men were at work in tbe laundry. They stood or sat in their places of labor, quietly resting. Some of them were reading. "The prisoners work about seven hour* a •day," said Mr. Connaugbton. The general plan is to give each one a stint to perform, and when that i» done lie has tbe rest of tbe .shop time to himself. This he may put into loafing or reading, but not the slightest fraction of liberty of movement is allowed. Ho one can walk in tho yard without orders, and there is no such thing here as a half holiday, when the prisoner* have the freedom of tbe yard to play games or lark about, as is tbe •custom in some Massachusetts prisons."

Mr. Coiiniiughton expressed great pride in tiia quality of work turned out at tho laun•dry. Ilo thought there wa* no concern in the country that could do any better. While be was pointing to great piles of spotless linen -and highly polished shirt bosoms, a boyish looking man, with 0110 of the brightest, plcaftnutext faces imaginable, came walking bri»kly across the floor. lie seemed to be •energy itself, and as cheerful as a schoolboy with a holiday. He smiled all over his face when Mr. Conuuughtou npoko to him, and .*ontinuod hi* walk with an elastic step. "I HjMiko to that iiian," said tho keeper in a low tone, "so that you might take notice of him. That wm Alderman McQtiude."

The next building visited wn* tho shoo factory, a feature of the prison which excites Mr. ('ouniiughton's prido even more than the laundry. The triumphs of modern invention lire there mid manipulated by skillful worknun. A few of the prisoners hud not completed their stints, mid were still at work on I ho noisy iiinrhine*. On euch floor a file of prisoner*, huddled close together, was approaeliin^ a water faucet. Each conviet had under hi* arm a wooden bucket, and as he mine to tho fnucet he filled it with water, turned aside, and, placing the bucket on the Moor, washed his face and hands thoroughly. This done, they returned to their machines mid idled. Mr. Connn light on delighted to ^liow nil he capacity of the men and the mai'l.iiie*, and that he hud hi* favorites was made evident by the celerity with which certain convict* at hi* approach jumped up from their seals and set their machines in motion. It was undoubtedly the machines and not tiie men that were favorites. In each case where ho hail the convict exhibit nis work he required no more than two or three turn* to be made, and then passed on. A huge heavy machine .stood in a corner, And a* the workmun saw Mr. Connaughton /coming with a visitor he took a partly finished boot from a pile, set the machine a-rattling, -and in an instant held up ttie boot with •heel that had iteeu put oti in less time than it take* to read nlxmt it.

Tbe cooks an all Chinamen, and very excellent cooks, for while they look with pitying eyes on the "foreign devil'1 who baa the bad taate to prefer roast barf to stewed dog or fricaaaeed black eats' eyes, they yet roast tbe beef to a tarn, and ran a French cordon bleu very cloeely in the piquancy of their sauces. The curry and rice, which might almost be called the piece de resistance, so regularly does it appear at both tiffin and dinner, is better here, to my taste, than in India, the land of its birth. Tl» condiments eaten with the curry oonstitote its charm.

My boy, Ah Cheong, brings to my room rrery morning when I awaken, coffee, with narrow, crisp strips of buttered toast breakfast proper is served at 9 o'clock, tiffin or luncheon at L, and dinner, which is the event of the day, at 8. As there is nothing to do after dinner—no theatre, no opera, no amusement of any kind—the pleasure of dining is prolonged to tbe latest possible moment, and I do not know a more attractive sight than tbe dining room of tbe Hong Kong hotel every night from 8 o'clock to 11, or even later. Tbe room is large, brilliantly lighted, filled witb small tables ornamented with beautiful flowers and exquisite The jumkahs in constant motion keep the air cool and fresh. Everybody is in evening dress, and every nationality nearly is represented. The servants are all dressed precisely alike in long gowns of blue cotton, and wear little black satin skull caps with a red button on the crown.

There are about as many servants as guests and they move noiselessly about with no confusion, perfectly impassive, their expressionless almond eyes ever on the alert, their long pigtails dangling behind. It is an evidence of want of rcspect for a Chinese servant to enter your presence with his cue twisted around his head as unpardonable, for instance, as for your butler to present himself to wait at table without his coat The head waiter is called "number one boy," and you send for him in all cases of emergency. He speaks pigdln English, as does everybody. And nearly all Chinamen understand it well enough to transact business with foreigners, but in tho hotels all servants are provided with note or "chit" books, end if you cannot make yourself understood yon write a "chit,'' which is carried to an interpreter in the office. It is astonishing that such an abominublo combination and arrangement of words us one finds in pidgin English should huvo obtained as it has in China. It is so difficult to speak, that is, to speak well (f), that there places where it is taught.

As the Chinese la'iigtiage is so difficult to learn, no foreigner pretends to speak it, except, of course, the missionaries, but everybody says "chin chin" (how do you do!) "Chop chop" (hurry up), and "man man" (stop). A little learning is, however, a dangerous thing, as was exemplified in tbe case of ray friend. Miss Jackson, who, the day of her arrival among the heathen, took a chair with four bearers to sco the sights. The coolies were instructed by the interpreter at the hotel before she set out on this John Gilpin expedition (as it proved to be), to take her through the principal streets and bring her back in three hours. All watt woll for some little time, the coolics trotted peacefully along the Queen's road—my friend eujoying the novel and fascinating motion of the chair, and taking in the strange sights.

Finally a curio shop attracted her attention, and wishing to stop she rapped sharply on the side of the chair and said "Chop* chop." To her great surprise, the coolies quickened their pace somewhat and pranced gayty on. "Chop-chop," die said again with rather more energy than before, and faster the bearers trotted. She now became thoroughly alarmed, and imagining the coolies were going to take her to some out of the way place and slay her, she took out her purse, and holding up a handful of Mexicans, said imploringly, while the tears started to her eyes "Chop-chop "Chop-chop!" At this the bearers broke into a ran, and op hill and down dale, along the quern's road, through the Chinese quarter of tho town, along the Band, everywhere, in fact, those nakxiA, breathless coolies tons, bearing their helpless victim gallantly aloft, and finally brought up at the hotel on a dead ran exactly oo the stroke of the hour, their eyee starting from their beads, the perspiration streaming front every pore, their pigtails standing out straight behind, hut "sustained and toothed by aa unfaltering- trust" that the handful of Mexicans would be theim Poor Mns Jackson was clinging deqpermtely to tbe •ides of her chair, the incessant and rapid jolting had knocked her bonnet over one eye, her hair streamed down her back, blank despair was depicted an every feature, while between her sobe she still continued to ejaculate faintly at intervals: "Chop-chop*— "Chop."

1 POPULAR FOOD FISH.

BUT LITTLE KNOWN OP~TH£ SARDINE AND IT8 HABITS.

Its Ham* gappesed to be la Deep ueeaa Waters—Twe Klada Ks«ra-Abs| the Beaton Ceaet A Serious Qnestiea—The

Oatob. "T

There are two kinds known—the Mmraer sardine, which is caught from Juno to October, and the sardine de derive, which is larger and is called the pilchard by the English. The first is tbe sardine of commerce and of tbe gourmets. Tbe latter is supposed to be tbe same fish, but older. Tbe first enters tbe bays and shallow waters. The other seems to be making its way, with the mackerel, to odd northern latitudes to spawn, though those caught as far north as the island of Glenan, off the coast of Scotland, have their eggs still immature. Sometimes successive swarms of sardines of different sims visit the coast of Brittany successively, and in turn disappear, having probably returned to their deep sea homea. At other times they enter certain bays and remain all summer, seemingly without fear and constantly increasing in siae. Changes in the temperature of the water are presumed to have much to do with their migrations, and perhaps the question of food, though in this respect tber seem to have no special preferences.

ALMOST CBABKD ITS VISITS.

The fishermen along the Breton coast complain that of late years the sardine lias almost ceased its visits, and that their industry is ruined. 1 he scientists affirm that there is no reason for supposing that there are less in existence, and that they will probably return. The herring has for hundreds of years been caught annually in immense quantities along the western coast of Europe, but its numbers are apparently undiminished. Since 1550 it has disappeared twice from the coast of Norway, each time for a long series of years— that is, from 1567 to 1644 and from 1654 to 1700, and has then returned as numerous ns over. Tho sardine ami the pilchard have, in a similar manner, diminished in numbers for shorter periods several times since the beginning of the present century. There havo been periods of famiue followed by years of abundance. So it is hoped that the present scarcity will be brief, and not like the long intervals of fifty or sixty years of disappearance of the herring from the coast of Norway.

This is a question in which the world is interested. Tho sardino of commerce is a partially grown fish not more than from a year to eighteen months old. When caught it is simply coming from unknown regions of the ocean and passing to other unknown regions. Its motives are unknown. It never returns. It goes further north and grows into a larger fish that is sought and sold under another name, about which epicures care nothing. But It is of the greatest importance to tbe fishermen that in its migrations it should pass annually through the same waters, and offer itself at regular Intervals to its destroyers. itAOitmmB or tub ikdvstkt.

The year 1878 was one of abundance. In that year, at the little Breton fishing port of Concantoau alone, there were caught 440,000,000 sardines, which were sold for over half a million dollars. This indicates the magnitude of the industry in France, and the trouble caused by the fish's change of route or of habits. However great may be tho catch, each fish only represents an individual. No eggs are destroyed. Prospective millions are not slaughtered as in catching salmon, cod, herring and other migratory fish on the way to the spawning grounds and if these fish, the salmon excepted, do not decrease in numbers under this unfair warfare, why should tho sardine!

It is certain that while tbe thdustry baa languished on the coast of Brittany, it has flourished on tbe coast of Portugal, whither some French packers have gone to pursue it One of these had caught and packed 0,000 cases of fine quality during the part of the season of 1886, ending July 17. When a genuine and valuable product shows signs of failing in tbe world's market, its place is supplied with similar merchandise of inferior quality or counterfeited altogether. In accordance with this principle the delicate sardines with which France fa supplying the world are in a measure replaced by the young of other fish prepared in a similar manner by the inferior goods of Spain and Italy, or of different localities of the American continent—San Francisco Chronicle.

Aa Overgrasplag Owner.

A Maine paper tells tbe following story, la which a Kennebec bono buyer figures: "Mr. James Keegan had bargained at Prince Edward Island for a fine horse, the price to be $175, and was Just about to hand over the money wben be remarked: The baiter goes with the hcrse, of courts I have none with me.' The halter in question was an old one, worth perhaps forty cents. *Ob, no,' replied the owner if you want tbe halter I want my pay for it' This was too much for our genial friend Keegan, and quoth be: 'How much do you want for your old haltarf 'Seventy-five cents,1 was the reply. 'All right,' said Keegan. 'Here's ycur seventy-flve cents that's Just such a halter as I've been looking for.' And as be passed over tbe change be quietly took off the (now his) baiter, put the $17S back into his pocket, stepped into bis bony and rode nway, leaving bis overyasplng owner to lament tbe loss of a good sals and to get home his bridlehas horse as best he might"—New Age.

The sardine is one of the most popolar of fbod fishes and one o* 4 known to epicures, yet cfcti., .euiains much that is otecure to tbe scientist in its origin and habits. It is like the wind in this respect that no one knows whence it cometh and whither it goeth. Its true homo is supposed to bfe somewhere in the deep waters of tbe Atlantio and Pacific oceans, wheoce it emerges when tbe spring begins and makes its way against the cool currents that sweep southward along tbe western coasts of the two great continents. It has bent for many year* the chief means of support of a large portion of tbe population of Brittany, and it is to French observers chiefly that we have to look for information regarding it But even French scientists do nottknow why it leaves tbe deep waters of tbe ocean to appear at certain epochs along the coasts.

the Working

Tolling In tfae- TlsH Wwk Bleaks Stompe of Flngara That An Idle. The Irish woman of the peasant and working classes is in ovary troth mistress of her home. That home may be but a half clean scratching on mother earth walled in with stone and roofed with straw or ssaweed, but thore she is queen. She is the equal of bar husband, slaves with him, but is not his slave. She keepa the money and does the ruling, ahd unless her man drinks is as fully mistu— of ber home, bar children, of her goings and comings, as any American wife alive. She is not tidy. Along heritage of poverty, hard work, and harder living on bare floors, with multitudes of children, with no kindly teachings, no gentry class of parish visitors and patrons to encourage tidiness, she does not know how to make the best of her second or third hand clothea, of her dirt floor, her black porridge pot, of her own sturdy person.

A FX&PXTUAL TOILER.

Yet she is never idle. She toils in tbe field. She goes down to the seashore and cuts seaweed, for which privilege she must pay her landlord so much added on to the rent Sho carries this home in a basket almost as big as a barrel She digs potatoes, binds up tho wheat, or oats, or hay, and piles turf to dry. If their small farm is up in the mountains she often descends to the valley and brings up basketful*—back loads—of earth to scatter over the thin, unfertile soil on the rocks, so that they inay plant cabbages or potatoes upon them. She does, this silently, cheerfully, with her husband at her side. A dress once in six or seven years is all she will have when she goes into town with her pig to the fair, her load of turf, or bar firkin of butter. Her work blackened stumps of fingers are never idle, for she knits, knits, knits all tho while on stockings and socks to sell at tbe shops, and so add by a six penny bit or a three penny bit to the slender hoarding of money kept warm in her bosom for the rent

If there is no turf on her little farm har fuel must bo bought from some bog owner near or from the town. Often she will sell tho week's churning from the cow for sixpence or ninepence. Cleanly in her own person, putting to shame tho shopwomen and shopgirls in her nearest town, it is amaring that she still lives in an untidy home. She is superstitious, deeply religious, and lives, she and her husband, but for one thing, and that is to save enough money to send one of their strong young sons or daughters off to America. It has been said, and is probably true, that in all Ireland there is not a poor family such as these I have vritten of who baK not some b::e off in America who occasionally helps them on by sending home a little money.

PICTUKESQtJK Btrt L0S*E30ME. Often in our lonesome walks through this beautiful, picturesque, but lonesome country, wo see old women following over fields where the cattle feed, with bigsacks on their backs, picking up clods of manure, which they will take homo and dry for fuel. We travel miles over this country, through small hamlets and villages and around small farms, where families live in the conditions of this average peasant woman. In the west of Ireland and southwest the income of a farmer and his wife, on their little patchin' of land, will, from all sources, not exceed £50, or $250 of our money. The rent and the poor rates deducted from tfiis leaves but little indeed upon which to clothe and feed eight or ten or more human beings. That thoy keop light hearted under such struggles, and smile at you if you smile at them—that they struggle on and even save enough to send the "bye" or the girl off to America is a miracle of patient thrift and perseverance I shall never understand.

If their landlord or landlady comes their way il is painful to watch their behavior. They do not begin at him or her about the drain, or the sewer, or the well, or the chimney—for they have none of these—Flo and I have walked through a settlement or village of thatched cottages with not a single chimney on the whole thirty houses but they draw up on one side and almost go down on their knees, with bobbing and bowing, and pulling their forelocks, "God blessing" her ladyship for nothings, and kissing her hand if they get a chance, hucible, reverential and polite. Did tradition* make them do this old traditions and ne .v experiences I—Catharine Colo in New Orleans Picayune.

Albert Edward's Private Study. Perhaps of all tho clews that Sandringham affords to a real insight into tho prince's character, that furnished by his private study is the best The room is the smallest of the suite, and is lit by a single but large window. Tbe woodwork is all of light oak, and tha walls and ceiling of a neutral tint It is essentially tbe haunt of a man. There are no hangings, no brio-a-brac, no daiqty devices of fair fingers, no soft rugs, oven on the oaken floor. "Business" was written in invisible characters all over the apartment The principal pieoe of furniture was a solid, square, oaken desk, upon which, all ready laid to his hand, were the paper and envelopes the prince uses. There aro no books in the room, but a set of shelves liokb all conveniences for smoking. On the walls bang a variety of sketches. A telephone has been put in by the window. It connects with Marlborough bouse, in London, and is regarded by the servants with a mixture of fear and superstition.—Pall Mall Qaaetta.

A tTmidwhl Msaaojf.

The handsome colored man who attends the door of the dieting room at the Palmer boose possesses the remarkable faculty of never losing a hat intrusted to his charge. Sometimes 300 or 400 men dine at once in the big room. The racks will be piled thickly with hata, yet each man, as he emerges, finds the polite servitor dnsting off his proper tile and no other. Abet was made the other day by two drummer* that they oould confuse bim. They put private marks on their hats, which were prociely alike in style, color and siae.
