THE TOPEKA CALL. W. M. POPE, Editor. TERA/S, $i A YEAR. Publislied Weekly. /•entered at the Pont-Office, in Topeka, an Sec ond-clann Matter. The office of the Call is at No. 419 Kansas avenue. The time is drawing near when we will go to our regular duties ^Utting down “copper-heads” and 'hay-seed.”

Give us a Rest. If the Times Observer had one rourth the importance at which it estimates itself it would not only move the earth, but sun and moon as well, but, unfortunately for it, in the estimation of the school board it is in much the same condition as .1 fly on a bull’s horn, “it may either go or stay.” no one will be aware of its presence. Some fellows seem never to know when they have made themselves, in the estimation of sensible people, i ito a perfect mental resemblance ■ff an animal with long ears, some times uneuphoniously styled an' “ass,” and notwithstanding the fact hat he may be masquerading under i lion’s skin. Times Observer please Ake notice. There seems to be a disposition on the part of some to make it ap pear that we are opposed to our oeople having equal rights and privileges in the matter of schools and school accommodations, but those who would convey such im pressions, know that they are act ing the part of willful deception. Ve are heartily in favor of our "hildren being given an equal and honorable showing in the race of iife, but we are opposed to this ■ringing and cowering policy, which would force our children in -1 places where they are not want vd and where they are constantly übjected to humiliation. We are n favor of mixed schools in its full •st sense —mixed teachers with mixed pupils. Every Republican candidate this 11 who receives the nomination of is party represents the ideas, doc ines, and principles of the Repub can party which saved and pre ■rved this nation and made its ime an honor everywhere under 'lie sun. A vote cast for them Aerefore is a vote for good govern ment, sound principles and business methods in every department of the r ivernment, happy and prosperous imes and a great national name home and abroad. Every color -1 man should esteem it an honor o be called a republican and a de f nder and supporter of such a government. Colored men, vote r the party because it is the party of human rights, the party of prin e ples which are right yesterday, to-day and forever —principles y hich are eternally right. When ths Republican party came i ito power in this nation it found a epleted treasury, a badly impaired c edit, a rotten, scattered and shat t red navy, a mere skeleton of a j landing army, badly tainted with eason, and a flag neither honored respected at home or abroad. To iy, with the same party in power, f Northern Mexico an American civil engineer. He makes surveys and drawings and com putations. Then he goes away, leav ing his drawings and calculations with others. Men with picks and shovels go to work in his track con structing a railway. Tunnels are cut through mountains from opposite sides, and meet, inch for inch, in the center. Great embankments are laid, and to make them there is just enough earth biought. The surface of the grade follows an even line as far as the eye can reach—a wonderful thing to these untravelled natives. All the while the men who build the railway consult the drawings and calculations of the civil engineer. Everything is done according to them. Is it any wonder that the simple lookers-on regard this wonder ful paper, which opens the moun tains and spans the valleys, as a bit of sorcery, a magician's touchstone? An African Prince, visiting Paris luring the great exhibit ion, sees the Eiffel Tower, a thousand feet high, slenderly built of iron in such a way that every foot of the material con tributes to the strength of the struc ture, or to the architect's scheme of decoration. Nothing is superfluous. When the African Prince returns to his people, he can only give them this account of the matter: ‘•These white men are wonderful magicians. None of our fetish men can do such things as we have seen. They have there a school of necro mancy, where men are taught to make lines and figures in such a way that great palaces of iron are built. “It ia th-.t- a white man of 1 Us ka; 111 1 (HO nhhih seems GL.lh, Hid which at night is lighted with fires of many colors. And all that, as it was told to us, by means of lines, and rules of numbers and figures. •■But when the white men sought to explain these lines and designs, we understood nothing of what they told us. No doubt they meant that we should not understand the secret. For if we knew their magic, their power would be lost.” But the “magic” of the civilization of the white man is no secret. It is simply the magic of patient research and industrious application. Nor is its possession limited to those who are .not able to go to college. Every student in the public schools may treasure up scientific knowledge which will be of the utmost practical value to him when he goes out into the world. Here is an illustration: Not long ago, in a New England public school, there was a boy who took"a decided interest in natural philosophy. lie said he was going to be a plumber, and he wanted to understand the facts that lay at the bottom of his future occupation. His father was a poor workingman, and could not afford to send the boy to college. But he permitted him to finish the course at the high school. The boy never ceased to pay particu lar attention to natural philosophy. After he left school,* he went to work for a plumber. When he had been at work about a year, there arose <1 great deal of trouble about certain valves that belonged to an important and costly apparatus which had been supplied to many people. No one could make these valves work after they had been in use a short time. As there was a great deal of value at stake one practical plumber after another was employed, but quite vainly, to remedy the defect. Meantime, the high-school lad had gone to work on his own account to experiment with the valves. He re called some facts, which he had learned in his natural philosophy at school, about a peculiar corroding ef fect<f water upon certain metals, and he was able, through this knowl edge, bo find the exact spot in the costly apparatus where the fault lay. The discovery proved so valuable to the manufacturers of the apparatus that the boy was taken into their employ. From this beginning he rose to a leading and profitable posi tion. He attributes his success to the excellent grounding in the “magic” of natural science which he received at school. A Fly Speck Made a Big Viftierence. In one of our large establishments connected with the iron industry there occurred recently an apparent discrepancy in the accounts involving a matter of 3,000 pounds of scrap iron. The clerks of the department were set to work to unravel the tangled skein, and after they had expended two whole days in the search they were compelled to give up the task and pronounce it beyond their compre hension. Thus matters stood for several days. Several days later the office-boy de cided to keep himself in practice in addition by footing up a column of figures on a sheet which was lying on a desk beside him in the scrap-iron department. Bending his energies to the task he got along swimmingly with the units, tens, and hundreds columns, but when he came to the fourth column he could not make it agree with the footings set down. Again and again he tried it and with the same result—3.ooo less. Going over the figures one by one his atten tion was drawn to a queer looking one. A fly speck was beside it in such a position as to make it appear like a four, and as such it had been counted by each of the clerks in the depart ment. The boy ha<F earned his pro motion, and he get it.— Philadelphia Record. Visit Brewer Son At Their New Store 805 Kansas Avenue.

Voice of the Press. dastardly white ruffians. Baltimore, September2B—There stood before Justice Hubb of the Northwestern Police Station last Saturday one of our nio.-t respect able and talented colored wonen to tell her tale of woe unparralled, and to ask for justice at his hands. Though but 15 years of age she had been a victim of one of the most dasdardly outrages that ever took place in Maryland. Her asail ants were six white men, and the following is a short summary of the crime: Last Thursday evening about 8 o'clock Miss Ella Camphor, accom panied by Mr. James Johnson, went out for a short walk out Boundary avenue, near Druid Hill Park. When they reached Fulton avenue they were attacked by six white ruffians, who demanded the voting man to leave the girl to them. The young man refused and they at once set upon him, fir ing several shots and forcing him to flee for his life. They then seized the girl and dragged her in to the bushes adjacent. Two held her hands while the third laid the cold nozzle of a bulldog revolver upon her face and dared her to cry out. Finally the young man re turned. he having rallied his friends in Etting street to come to the res. cue. They soon appeared upon the scene heavily armed, and for ten minutes a terrible battle waged and the white ruffians were dis lodged. The shooting brought the police to the scene and the white ruffians were arrested and brought to the police station. The rescu ers then began a search for the young lady and finally found her ly ing in the bushes in an unconscious condition, with her clothing torn from her body. She was assisted to her feet and kind "friends and tender hands bore her to her home. At the preliminary examination that took place at the police station the heartless justice asked her if she made resistence, and with a voice mingled with indignation and shame she said; “Great God! Does it not look as if I resisted when my dress is torn off from me, and my under clothes hangin ribbons from my garments?” Ue then further added insult to injury by asking her if she made an outcry, and she replied. “I screamed loud as the cold nozzle of a revolver permitted me.” The men were then released upon SSOO bail for appearance at court, and some of that was even insuficient. When the nature of the case was fully heard. J age Duffy ordered their arrest. The writ of habeas corpus was then in voked but he even denied them, that because the offense is a capital one. The community of Afro-Ameri cans is greatly worked up over the affair and the crime is openly de nounced. The white ruffians have retained E. J. Waring Esq., to defend them hoping to allay public sentiment and the ladies par ents have retained C. W. Johnson and W. T. McGuin to assist the state. There is much feeling against Lawyer Waring because he consented to be their counsel" and it will cause him the loss of a great deal of practice. The Afro- Americans here have been treated so unjustly about these kind of crimes that they don’t tolerate any excuse or apology, and the colored lawyer who arises to defend white men when charged with these crimes upon helpless colored wom en undertakes a great risk and jeopardizes his future success. This makes the fourth outrage that has been committed upon col ored women here this month by white men. and the white papers in "the smallest type merely inform their readers that “a white man has been charged with an assault upon a Negro wotfian.” American 1 Citizen. lynchers arrested Omaha, Neb., October io. —Jos- epb Meysheffer, who led the as sault or. the County Jail last night, which resulted in the lynching of George Smith, the negro, has been arrested and will be charged with winder, the only Nebraska statute covering lynching, prescribing that as the charge. t Intense excitement has prevailed all over the city to-day as a result of last night’s lynching. Thous ands have visited the undertaker’s establishment where the body of the negro, Smith, lies, and the wrecked jail has been a scene of attraction. The prisoners held for high crimes in South Omaha and Omaha have been removed to Lin coln, owing to threats ,of further violence to-night. Fifteen of the alleged ring- leaders of the lynching party were-arrested to-day on the indictments of murder in the first degree. The Sheriff, who ’was ab ducted last night, was released to night. Lizzie Yates, the 5-year-old victim of the lecherous negro, is dead. George Smith alias Joe Coe, a negro, aged 20, confined in jail here on a charge of assaulting 5-year old Lizzie Yates, was taken from thy Jail Friday night by a mob, beaten to death, and then hung to the trolley wire of a street railway, in front of Boyd’s new theater. Public sentiment had been wrought to a high pitch Friday by the ex ecution of Ed Neal, and a report that Coe’s victim had died intensi fied the feeling. Last Wednesday Coe called at the house of Mr. Yates on Eighteenth street, saying he was a garbage man and wanted to inspect the premises. Mrs. Yates allowed him to enter the ’yard. Not long a’ter her little daughter, Lizzie, 5 years of age, came running into the house shriek ing in agony. She had been most brutally assaulted by the negro. The next day he was arrested and identified. St. Louis Post Dispatch. One of the funny things connect ed with the Jim-Crow car system is the rush it sometimes creates. For instance a train traverses Texas decorated with the signs, “For Negroes,” “For Whites.” As it approaches the Indian Territory line, the porters begin taking down the signs and the whites begin getting close to the colored car. The instant the line is crossed, the whites who have been standing up,rush into the colored car and the colored brother has to relinquish his claim to a whole seat much to his disgust. Appeal.

There is a chance to get shirts on tick, but when you’ are Out Of Stamps Uncle Sam says, “tick don’t go.” Why is it that widows do not at tend to their own affairs and let the young ladies and gents alone to associate with their equals. They would like to know why Mrs. Ida D. and Mr. D. D., don’t quit slandering young ladies. Now ladies you should think of the past. But be easy the girls will not say anything. Mr. J. H. T., shouldn’t talk so loud about a certain lady, the per son you was speaking of was in an adjoining room listening to your conversation. They would like to know why the head-waiter at the Santa Fe depot doesn’t know how to enter tain company. He should go to big K. C., and take a tumble. Why is it that Moses Day has so many girls, he will run out soon so will “Little She^ney. Why is it the town girls incline to be so rude at Rev. Gambel's lit erary society last Friday evening. They should learn how to attend literarys, and net laugh so much. Girls be more careful. She likes music so well she fell down stairs on her head to hear the band play “Annie Rooney. T. D., you should be more careful. A certain class of girls in Tennes seetown sings a song called “Proc tor Knok” from sun rise until sun set. Girls you must be fond of this song. We wonder if your parents ever heard you sing it. Mrs. S. T., who lives on the cor ner of Eleventh and Washington streets, should quit talking about young people and see to her hus- band s® she will not have to be written up in the little Sunday Sun. We havn’t told what you said yet. They would like to know how J. N. and K. C. are getting along.

They don’t believe W. S. Cleve land’s Minstrels or formerly J. W. Cooly’s Minstrels will show at an early date for they have disbanded. The two ladies, Miss J. P. and Miss E. F. took a very cool ride Sunday up and down Kansas aven ue. Girls before you take that horse out again you should have him curried ff. The ladies woulu like to know why Mrs. F goes over to Mrs. B’s house so often. We guess she goes to see that Robert’s horse is cared for. Miss Clara IL makes frequent visits to Oakland one day recently she was seen at Oakland with a gun hunting quails. Clara this is too early for quails, but you might find prairie chickens.

This is one of the reason* why early study is dangerous. The child's heart beats much more rapidly than that of an adult, and the growth of tiie heart, instead of being regular, like the growth of the •body as a whole, is accom plished by tits and and starts. The more rapid action *of the heart renders the child peculiarly liable to fever and the liability is further in creased by his weaker vital resistance. Hence childhood is the special season for scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough and other similar complaints. The. irregularity of the heart's growth may give rise to disturbances of tiie organ of a seemingly danger ous character, but with proper care they will pass away as the heart at tains its full development. Such proper care includes ample nourish ment sufficient sleep and the avoid ance of special st rain. The season of rapid growth and development say bet ween the ages of 10 and 20, needs particular attention. Nature is then at work, as it never wiil be again, in building up the.tis sues and developing the nervous sen sibilities. This is the period which makes the largest demands for an outdoor life, for pure air, sunlight, active exercise, abundance of nutri -1 ions food, a vigorous digestive tract, a ready assimilation and an active elbuiiiation of waste. Il is the pepiod of study and ambi tio i. as well as a wisdom that thinks itself wiser than it is. The increas ing mental activity needs to be regu lai'd by experienced teachers and coushlerat mothers, lest the brain be worked at the expense of other or r gans and tissues. Duller minds should not be forced to keep step with those which are naturally more active, and the in fluences of the home and the school room Should be tranquilizlng and ')ted to invoke Hie kindlier sees- ,s. Fretful parents and scolding teachers may do a lifelong injury during this susceptible period. it is a period when neither study nor excitements should interfere with sleep; when dime novels do their worst work: when mothers need to know what their children read, and to be their counselor in all delicate matters; when the use of tobacco is specially perilous, almost surely giv ing rise to affections of the heart, and when spirituous liquors and all opiates are peculiarly pernicious.— Hural. Not Usually Faten. The mother of Heinrich Heine, the poet, was particularly careful about matters of etiquette, and her boys were brought up with great strict ness, and occasional severity. A*inong other things, she was extremely de cided in her ideas of table etiquette, and her children's maimers in this re gard were then thought quite irre proachable. They were taught, when they wore guests at a table, never to eat all the food which was put on their plates; a portion must always be left “for re spect,” so their mother said. Also, they must never take more than a certain fixed amount of sugar in their cups of coffee, no matter what the cravings for it might be. This last rule was a great trial to Maximilian, Heinrich's younger brother, who had a particularly “sweet tooth.” On one occasion Frau Heine and her children were at a garden restau rant in the suburbs of the city, and had been enjoying the fresh air and good coffee at the same time. As they rose to leave the table, Max, then seven years old. saw that a large and tempting piece of sugar had been left in the sugar bowl. Think ing himself unobserved, he quickly seized it and put it in his mouth. Unfortunately for him, he had been noticed by Heinrich, who, without meaning to be a tale-bearer, ran to his mother with an expression of hor ror on his face, as if he expected some calamity would instantly befall them, and said, in a shocked and as tounded tone: “O mother, mother, would you be lieve it,-Max has eaten the respect.” •—Youth's Companion. f About Sponges Sponges come for the most part from the eastern portion of the Medi terranean. The Bahama sponges from the West Indies are of very poor quality, and those from Tunis are too hard for general use. Those imported from Asia Minor and the Greek Arch ipelago are the finest, and are chiefly used. The island of Kalimno on the southwest coast of Asia Minor, is the headquarters of this industry. The fishermen set out in May and return in September, fishing during that time off the shores of the islands of Greece, of the Southern Sporades, and especially of Rhodes, of Crete, of the whole extent of Syria, of the island of Rand and of Tunis. The sponges are taken back to Kalimno and sold. The Kalimno fishers usu ally carry on operations at a depth of from fifteen to twenty feet, but no deeper, as it is considered that be neath this there are no sponges pos sessing any commercial value. There are several methods of collecting sponges. They me plucked with the hand by help of a diving bell, or are harpooned or dragged up with a sort of instrument resembling that used in oyster fishing. The harpoon is the instrument mainly employed.

A WONDERFUL FUEL.

inferM*ting Facts About the Discovery of Natural Bns. The history of natural gas in .the United States dates back to the year 1821, when a well was opened in Fre donia, Chautauqua County, N. Y., and the supply applied in a small way to illuminating and heating purposes. More than fifty-live years elapsed be fore its practical utilization for both light and fuel. In 1878 some men were drilling for petroleum at Murraysville, eighteen miles from Pittsburgh, Pa. A depth of nearly 1,323 feet had been reached when the drills were thrown high into the air, and the derricks broken to pieces and scattered around by a tre mendous explosion of gas, which,with hoarse shrieking rushed into the air, alarming .the population for miles around. Upon application of a light there immediately leaped into life a tierce dancing demon of lire, hisskig and swirling about with the wind, and scorching the earth in a large area about it. For five years did this continue. At last, however, the gas was captured and by means of pipes was conducted to the city and util ized. The discovery and application of this natural gas opened up' a new field of enterprise, the probable extent of which was not at first fully appreci ated. Its importance to the rolling mills, glass works, and other indus trial establishments of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, may now be un derstood when it is stated that the amount of coal displaced by natural gas in the United States in 1888 was 14.063,830 tons, valued at $22,- 629.875. The discovery if the gas inOhio (the supplies of which are practically con lined to the counties of Hancock,. Wood, Auglaize and Mercer) was made in November. 1884. at Findlay, when it was found that the Trenton lime stone underlying Ihe fiat country of Northwestern Ohio was. in certain places, charged with high-pressuTe gas. In January, 1886, a well was brought into use, large enough to ac credit the new gas rock as a first-class souce of production, one which could safely endure comparison with the most prolific horizonSiof the new fuel of Pennsylvania and elsewhere. In two years, in consequence of the discovery of natural gas. the popula tion of Findlay has increased from 6,000 to 30,000. The city itself owns a dozen gas wellsand the distributing plant connected therewith, and sup plies fuel to citizens at the rate of 50 cents per month per stove. It also maintaines a high pressure line for the supply of factories that have been established there. It seems, however, that the gas is more effective in pro ducing heat than in giving light, it having the former power to a much greater extent that the latter. It is very easily handled and the heat generated is all sufficient for the pur pose of making steel. I’he glass fac tories use it^especially in making flint-glass, as the heat can be better regulated while the burning gas is free from smoke which often discolors the glass. In making the finest fancy ware it burns into the glass flowers painted in different metallic colors: the process requiring sometimes as many as five ^operate burnings, ac cording-inquir ing mind was put in prison and there remained all his life. That sort of thing was not calculated to send men on exploring expeditions into the “dim unknown,” and Edison and ihs guild had they lived then would hardly have found a profitable field for their inventive talent i.—Troy Daily Times.

A Chicago Jian Trios ills Hand at .Mak ing It. “Yes, this smokeless powder they are talking about in Europe,” said a Chicago druggist, is few’ evenings ago, I “is undoubtedly a great discovery, i but I know something about such things myself. I had a little experi ence with high explosives once which nearly cost me my life. 1 was a student then and my favorite study was chemistry. I had always had a penchant toward experimenting with explosives, gaseous, fluid, and solid, and in the course of my work in the laboratory I finally evolved one of such terrific power that I don’t think any other to equal it has ever been found. It was a fulminate, and when I had succeeded in producing the first few grains of white powder I decided to try it. A half grain was all 1 used. 1 didn't know how powerful the stuff was. I put it in a big iron mortar, suspended a pestle over it by a thread, and fixed a cord so by jerk ing it I could let the pestle fall. 1 retired to the other side of the room, pulled the string and—well, I was knocked down, two windbws were shattered and I had to pay $l5O so delicate apparatus ruined by the ex plosion. “Knowing how frightfully danger ous the stuff was. and yet unwilling to quit experimenting, I fitted up a little laboratory of my own in an abandoned stable about a mile from the college building. This was neces sary, for the faculty notified me to stop monkeying with my fulminate on the college property. I worked away in my own improvised shop, however, and soon had an ounce or so of the stuff made. Then 1 invited a friend of mine, a good rifle shot, to come out with me and try it. I wasn't taking any more chances on testing it indoors. Well, we went to a little lake, about a quarter of a mile wide. I carrying the fulminate very daintily, you may be sure, and he his rifle. We took a boat, went out about a hundred yards from shore, buoyed a piece board and on it set the can with the fulminate in it. I only used half an ounce. Returning tor-p<cker«. A curious series of statistics estab lishes the value of the refuse of the Paris streets. The figures seem in credible, and show that (he rag-pick ers discharge a duly of primary im portance. Working at night, busy under the gas lights with hook and panier, the value of what they collect is estimated at £2.000 each day. As suredly one half t lie world does not know how the other half lives. Of course the conditions of Paris life are exceptional. Population is very close, the tall houses are crammed with in habitants, there are gardens as with us—there are but the houses and the streets. The Parisians have a way of emptying all kinds of lumber and re fuse intg the streets, and then the rag-pickers gather in their harvest. A use is found for everything, and metamorphosis never ceases. All the details are interesting, though some are rather disturbing. Rags, of course, go to make paper; broken glass is pounded and serves as a coat ing for sand or emery paper; bones after the process of cleaning and cut ting down, serve to make nail brushes, tooth brushes, and fancy buttons: lit tle wisps of womeifs hair are care fully unraveled, and do duty for false hair by and by. Men’s hair collected outside the barbers’ serves for filters through which syrups are strained: bits of sponge are cut up and used for spirit lamps: bits of bread if dirty are toasted and grated, and sold to the restaurants for spreading on hams or cutlets; sometimes t hey are carbonized and made into tooth powder. Sar dine boxes are cut up into tin soldiers or into sockets for candlesticks. A silk hat has a whole chapter of ad ventures in store for it. All this work employes a regiment of rag pickers numbering close on 20,000, and each earning from twenty pence to half a crown a day. With all the wonders of our great cities we have nothing quite like this. Curious Objection. The curious fault is found with the mastless ships of the navy that they afford the crews no opportunity for exercise—the seaman having nothing to climb; they feel cooped up, and are showing a spirit of discontent. It is questionable whether such tame de vices as horizontal bars and other mere gymnastic appliances would avail to restore the spirits of the men. The Darwinians may seize upon this fact as additional proof of the Simian descent of the human species.— Phila delphia liecord. Church Notices.

Burial ships have so far been dis covered to the number of about a dozen in Sweden and Norway, says the Edinburgh Itcrieir. The bodies laid in them, burned'or unburned, were equipped with pathetic care. Besides being elaborately armed and adorned, they had placed at their dis posal means of employment and di version, such as writing-tablets, forg ing tools, whetting-stones, scissors, cooking utensil^, chessmen, draughts men. and dice. In one of nine boats, containing as many bodies,disinterred in the churchyard of Vendell in Up land, weapons and implements were associated with the remains'of three horses, three dogs, a cow, a pig, ram, ewe, and goose. Another sheltered the bodies of a goose, a duck, a fal con, rock owl. and crane. The inference seems justified that all these birds were domesticated. Inside the ribs of the celebrated Gokstadt ship some peacoks’ feathers lay scattered with fragments of gold embroidered silken stuff, and the tumulus near Sandeflord. from which it was unearthed in 1889, contained the skeletons of at least twelve horses and six dogs. But the treas ures of the sepulchral chamber amid ship had long ago fallen a prey to some of the humorous and nameless thieves who Ransacked the graves of warrors old. Their falchions wrenched from corpses’ hold. The vessel itself, which is of oak, clinker-built, and seventy-five feet long, is preserved in the Archaeologi cal museum at Christiania. Life in the North, however funda mentally homely, was at^nded in those days by accessories of consider able splendor. Gastronomic refine ments were indeed unknown. Boiled veal counted as the “best of dainties;” roast pork, with wheat bred, might also be provided for favored guests, in default of which delicacies curds and buttermilk were welcome, and the bill of fare duri^r a royal visit comprised on alternate days, fish and milk, meat and ale. Yet the tables spread with such simple repasts were often gay with embroidered cloths and radiant with gilded vessels,dainty glass beakers and repousse silver and bronze drinking-horns. They were surrounded, too, by gorgeously clad revelers. Scarlet cloaks lined with fur and secured with magnificent fibula* of bronze inlaid with silver, or of silver gilt diversified with filigree wbrk, garnets or walrus ivory, were Hung over silken tunics or kirtles made of a kind of velvet called “pell.” These were belted with girdles finely wrought of precious metals; gold rings encircling legs, arms, and fingers; silk caps, adorned with lace, covered the head; shoes were of leather covered with beaten gold and stitched with silk; a gold band like a diadem confined twan and profuse locks flowing down to the shoulders. We hear, besides, of gloves maae sort with down, or runs 01 “many-colored English cloth.” rain and-dust cloaks, and of fur-lined mantles with golden neckstraps. Sigurd the jarl figures in St. Olaf's Saga as clad in “a blue kirtle and blue hose, high shoes faced around his legs, a gray cloak, and a gray broad-brimmed hat, and a hood over his face, a staff in his hand with a gilt silver mounting at the upper end, from which a silver ring hung.” Tiie Fallacy of Hsli anil Brain. As a result of personal experience, I may state that some years since I lived for a period of forty days, so far as what is called solid food is con cerned, solely on fish, with, of course, the addition of bread (no potatoes were eaten during the period); but I cannot recommend that mode of liv ing. I discovered, before the forty days had expired, that fish was not the staff of life. In the course of my experiment I not only lost flesh but also energy, nor did I feel my head clearer or my thoughts and feelings more alert than when subsisting on more varied food. Whilst living upon flsh only, one feels “a want,” a craving for ■•some thing, you don’t know what,” that is to say, you cannot give a name to your desires; nor does the feeling wear off asyou continue the dietry; at all events, in my case “custom comes not to the rescue”; so, after forty days had expired, I returned to the flesh pots, not aU at once, though, being convinced that caution was necessary. One popular fallacy in connection with fish may be noticed, namely, the oft-repeated assertion that the eating of that particular food in creases brain power. No one who has studied the subject can possibly believe the assertion. A man might eat a hugh portion of fish every day of his life, and on the day of his death, if the quantity of phosphorus (the brain invigorator) consumed were to beconje visible, it would not amount to more than would probably suffice to tip a couple of lucifer matches. Communities have existed that lived almost solely on fish, but these ichthyophagists were certainly not famous for their intellectual at tainments. Nor are our fisher vil lages, in many of which much fish is presumably consumed, the seats of any great amount of brain power. None of our fisher folks are remark able for their genius, or even what is called common sense, their views of life and its responsibilities being shrouded in a haze of superstition, which they lack sufficient strength of mind to see through. No fishing community, so far as is known to the writer, has given to the world a great writer. Men of mark poets, preachers, lawyers, warriors, philosophers and physicians have emanted, in Scotland, at any rate, from all classes except the fishing class A.
