0 Southern Sra Hints. Suppose you are la an Ia JUraan out wurd bound. After passing through the tropica acd out ot the influence of the trmle winds, your aim la to pel down south as souu as possible iato the latw tude of the tfltof westerly wlndi which extend from about 4 decrees to the South Pole. This is the resign where alhatroFSrs, Cape bens and Cipe p'geons abound. The piteous tnpjt you lorj tw-fore the others m;ka their arpMrance. Nothing iaeas'ei than to catch them if the vessel is becalmed. In shap acd siza they resemhle an ordinary pigeon except, of course, chat they hare webbed feet htie duck. They bite greedily at morsels of pork suck on email flih-books. Jack captures them for sport. lie ekins them and suits the skins, and when he gets them borne he st-lla them to taxidermists, Their plumage is very beautiful. I be meat of the Cupe pigeon is strong; it hm an ancient Guhslike STuel', but Jack devours it, as he doe3 nearly everything that comes into his clutches Tne Cape hea is a brown ish'.bird as biR as an average turkey. Us is bold and ravenous as a carrion crow. No garb age is loo unclean for him. He watches greedily for any stray "miaavelings' thrown overboard, fragments of biscui.s or entrails of fowls behig'suapped up with avidity. They are not difficult to capture, but as they are powerful brutes it takes a strong cod hook ar.d line to Laul them in. When ence cn deck they fight like ttev'.la. Their tlah is too foul even for a hungry sailor. I never yet met a man with nerve enough to eat one. Is is impossible to catch an albatross with hock arid line. This cobie bird depp'sf s garbage and sticcumbs not to the fascination of a fish-hook baited with pork. I believe Le lives on liih. I havo never sen him eat. though the san e altmtnna has followed my ship for dys. circ'ir.g around the vessel in maj-stic curves and sweep, cleaving the air seeOiirgly without exertion. I have known a'batroases to be caught on an outward passage, but they have aiways blundered aboard when the ship bus beer, calmed. I have krt them In a hencoop for jpfn' d ays.but they will not eat; their hearts seem trokt-n, and they soon pine tod-'a'h. When prop erly mounted by a taxidermist they are very handsome. 1 wis once shipmate wi'h a Fk;; per who was an excellent shot.

A writer in the Xorth German llrU discussing the causes cT the increase ir. population of China, ..rd the increasing ri.eigy of the Chinese race, which er.a b'es it to at sorb other peop'e's and al ways to cor cjiir in the Htrupgle for ex igence, remarks that the native statis tics shov thr.t it was not until the end of the seventeenth cer'ury that, the population went b?yord fiO.fiOO.Ot V. From that period onward it has grown continuously in spite of famines, wars, and pestilence, and is oveiilowing into other cour.triee and causing politic' disquietude. The causes of this are a mild and pa terml Government, the extension of foreign trade, and the spread of emi gration. In this peiiod there were two great reigns.those of K ingbi and Kien lung, which lasted r.hout sixty years each, the gfa'er number of which were years of prof -una tranquility and ben efiTQat e? v.ion. The educational eystem also, w hich extend to evory village, and leatts to the vast Increase cf persons connected with teacliiug and literature, and lo a tnultip'ication of occupations, bus stimulated the in crease cf population, while foreign trade has vastly increased the number of persons engaged in agriculture. The cultivation of silk ha3 grown euorruous ly under the influence f the foreign ex tort, and with it the numbers of psr sons engaged in tending mulberry trees, feeding silkworms, spinning, weaving, wholesale and retail trade in silk.

All these classes are largely bei.e- j Cted by an increase and multiply with foreign trade. Lastly, emigration has j caused an increase in the population to , B remarkable degree.

The vault or the Capuchin church, where the Crown Trices Rudolph's re mains are entombed, was opened to the rublic from noon tiU C o'clock lu the evening cf two dtys last week. The vault was brilliantly lighted and odor ous with tho scent of fresh flower of the wreaths deposited on tha sjerc phagi of the various members of the im perial house lying near the Crown Princes torub.

"Workhorst i about forty years old and a farm labor er, employed near Balrit k and In the neighborhood of Crawfordaville. Three years ago he began to experience pecu liar sensations in bis right arm. Tbe paic3 were not particularly keen at first. but they gradually grew worsa and were much like those of rheumatism. The same pains were felt in the right leg, though the symptoms there devel oped less quickly than in the arm. This continued several months, and Work hurat, who had been treated lor rheum atism, experienced no relief. After about four months a change be gan to take place in the arm, beiDg first arparent In the hand. That member by degrees changed from a horny piece of flesh and bone into a spongy sub- Rtacca of Decnliar character. This chauge came about slowly, but gradual Iv spread to the elbow. Tbe fool under went similar changes, and the peculiar spongy condition of the flsh spread to the knee. Of course, with his nana gone or incapacitated.Workhurt cannot labor, and after consulting physicians without receiving any encouragement be Is waiting to aee what other freaks nature will play with bim. Tha altered flesh Is a dark brown In perfect keeping with its spongy tex- ture, the hand and foot absorb water. though in a limited way, and the liquid can be eqneezd out. TVorkhnrst's left arm and leg remain normal. Od of the odl things about his condition is that he has lost In weight cons'derably sibce the change took place. From his appearance he should weigh 130 pounds, bnt his weight is 115. It is thought that the disease, or whatever it is. has worked upon him internally and caused the redaction in weight. He walks with a l:mp, but is able to lift the strange arm readily, though the fingers do not move and cannot be controlled. The case has caused a ereat deal of interest In the neighborhood cf Work burst'a hrme. Management of Oil Lamps. In view of the numerous fatal and o'her accidents caused by petroleum lamps, the following suggestions as to the construction of such lamps have been made : That portion of the wick which is in the oi! reservoir should be enclosed in a tube of thin Sheet metal, open et the bottom, or in a cy.inder cf fine wire gauzj, such as is used in miner's safety l;m-s (twenty eight meshes to as inch). Tb ot! rrservoir etould be of metal rather than of ch!n or glass. Tho oil reservoir shou'd have no feeding pl?ce nor opening other than the opening Into which the upper part of the lamp is screwed. Every lamp should have a proper ex tinguishing epparatus. Every limp shou'd have a broid and heavy bass. V!cks Eheuld be soft and not tightly f laited. Wicks shoul l be dried at the 5re be fore bting put iato lamps. Wicks should be only just long enough to reirh tie bottom of the oil reservoir. Wicks should be bo wide that they quite All the wick holder without hav ing 10 be squeezed into it. Wicks should be soaked with oil be fore being lit. The reservoir should be quite filled with oil every time before using the lamp. The lamp Bhould be kept thoroughly clean, all oil should be carefully wiped off, and all charred wick and dirt re moved before lighting. When the lamp is lit tbe wick should be tlrst turned down, and then slowly raised. Lamps which have no extinguishing apparatus should be put out as follows : The wick ehonld be turned until there is only a small, flickeriu; flrnie, and a sharp puff of breath should be sent across the top of the chimney, but not down it. Cans or bottles used for oil should be free from water and dirt, and should be kept thoroughly closed. Different Manners. Manners are often worst in the most industrious and advanced parts of tbe country. In tbe highlands of Scotland, where industrious civillzitioo is almost unknown, popular manners are excel lent; in some parts of the lowlands tLey are rude, repellent and unsympathetic. The best Euglish manners are to be found in certain rural districts, tbe worst in thriving and energetic Lan cashire. Too much energy is unfavor able to the best behavior, which, grows to perfection among id era, or in agri cultural acd pastoral communities, where folks work in a leisurely fashion and Lave many spare moments on their hands. Manners always represent an ideal of some kind. The English way i f behavior wems to stand for dignity, the French for grace. Manners in both countries are more the representation cfee.f in outward form than any evi dence of real consideration for tbe pr s n to whom they are addressed. Tne Englishman wishes to convey the idea that be himswlf has dignity, that he is a gentleman; the Frenchman is anxious to show that be is a witty and accom plished man ot the world. The virtues of English behavior are chiefly of a negative kind, and those of French behavior positive. An Englishman is pleasant because he Is not noisy, not troublesome. not obtrusive, not contradictory, and because be has the tict to avoid conversational pitfalls and precipices. The Frenchman is agreeable because be is lively, is amus ing, Is amiable, is successful in tha bat tie against dullness, and will take trouble to mahe conversation interest ing Iyaprpl and tLI vr Complaint. Is it not worth the small price ot 75 cents to free yourself of every symptom of these distressing complaints, if yon. think so call at our store and get a bottle of Sboloh's Vitalizer. Every bottle has a printed guarantee on It. nsA arcnn'lnir'v. and if it i does ou no eood it will cost you nothing. Sold by Dr. T. J.

VeDetianello. the Italian rcpe-wa!k- er, although a man of abort stature. was celebrated throughout Europe as tbe strongest man of tbe sixteenth cen tury. He daily performed with a hard wood beam twenty feet long and a foot square. This beam .was a heavy load for two men of average build, yet this Liliputian prodigy would walk about his exhibition ground d with it standing upon one end on his shoulder, juggler fashion, and shift it from one shoulder to the other without the aid of his hands. Nicholas Klonher, another pix'.eenth century athlete, brought from a cellar a cask or hogshead of wine containing 252 gallons, without the aid of pulleys or ropes, and afterward deposited it in a wagoD. George le Feur, the German writer, mentions this extraordinary feat In hs writings, and even says that the affidav its of persons who witnessed the re moval of the cask were then extant. "I have seen a man." pays Mayolus. the Italian bishop, "in tbe town of Aste, who in the presence of the llar quia of Pescara, handled a pillar of marble three feet long and one foot sqnare, which he cast high In the air, then received it npon his arms, then threw it np again as easily as if it bid been a cotton ball." Cardan writes that he once saw a man dancing with two full-grown men In his arms, and with one seated upon each shoulder and a fifth clicging around Ms neck. TbOmas Topham, the wonderful strong man of the paat century, per formed many aetonishscg feats of strength. He was born at London in 1710. On the 23th day of May, 1741, when Topham was 31 years of age, be gave a most wonderful exhibition when, at Coldbath Fields, near London, be lifted three bogheads of water, weigh iDg 1,830 pounds, in the presence of thousands of people. The Mesfent?er Boy. The diminutive professional messen ger boy, with his bright face and tas'.y uniform, is to my mind a personage who deserves some little consideration. As a public icstitntion he comes in for a good deal of abuse. lie never goes on a message and re. urns with an answer without being ''cussed1' by the recipient of that answer for doL moving faster ; the jokes made at bis expense by the newspaper wits and comedians of the stage would fill a book, and alto gether his lot, I fancy, is one cot ex actly to be envied. And think of the hours he has ; it is never Itss than twelve hours' service a d.iy that ho in called on to perform, and the most ar duous sort of service at that. He is constantly on the move, never at rest ; he must go into all sorts of places often into places where it is not good for a boy of tis years to enter asd he must always appear neat, britk and cheerful, or he will stand in daDger of being bounced. bo.netLmar that never fills to excite mv sympathy is the eipht, late at night, of a worn out district messenger boy fast asleep (i3 I hive often seen them) in the corner of a street car, with his message gripped faithfully In his chubby hand and au expression of premature old age on his tired features. I never Fes this last sight without resolviag never to Leratd oae of the yourgstf rs for tardiness in going cn my messages. The boys do their work well, and deserve a good word occasionally. A Do? as a .Mail Carrier. The way the dog became a mail car rier was as follows: Que day tbe post master wanted to send word to bis brother at Bismarck, but did not want to make the trip. It occurred to him to try the dog. He wrote a letter and tied it around the doc's neck, pointing; Ihe dog's cose towards B sinark aod ILen told him to g' Ha trotted off a shcrt distance ai d then turned abont to see what else was wanted. Sores of the small boys showered stones a him and he ran ou to liisinarck. Next dty lid returned with-an auswer tied on Lis oeck and be showed thdt he bad been well treated. The experiment was re peated, each time with success and ad ditional dignity on the part of the dog. As soon as It became known that Djrsey could be depended upon, re quests were constantly made by the miners to send their mail by hitn. The loads soon increased, and it became evident that they could not tie on all the letters. Tbe miners then ordered a hansome little.mail bag and fitted it to to the dog's shoulders. It is fas tened around his chest by one strap, and around his body, back of the fore legs, by another. Ho has never missed a trip for about three years or lost a letter. Now, when the stage comes In, begets up. st retches himself, walks to the postoflice, waits to have the mall strapped on him, acd starts off as soon as be ia told all is ready. He will go a lone way around to avoid meeting a Gtraoger, seeming to realize the impor tance of bis mission. Central Park's Obelisk. There is something Withetic in tha present condition of the obelisk in Cen tral park, New York. It is going to pieces, unable to withstand the climatic changes tbat exist on the island of Manhattan. This flinty relic of long ago, that stood unchanged amid the fierce heat of Egypt for trenty centu ri s, is rapidly disintegrating after a frw years' exnosuie to the frosts and storms of the land of its adoption. A few years ago the grand old monolith was given a coaling of parafiine, the surface of the stone having been previ ously heated. But this treatment has failed to stay the destroying bard of tbe frost king or to render the obelisk proof against extreme changes of tem perature.
