How long the animals had been locked tn their winter palace is a matter of conjecture, but they were at least 2.' feet above the, water. A trial was recently made In Austria to decide In how short a time living trees could be converted Into news papers. At Liscuthal, at 7-!5 In the morning, three trees were Kawn down; t 0:30 the wood, having been stripped of bark, cut up, and converted Into pulp, became paper, and passed from the factory to the press, whence the first printed and folded copy was Is sued at 10 o'clock.

N-RAYS SHOULD BE PINK. They Indicate a Good Life, Hnjs Dr. Hooker. The Lancet publishes a letter from Dr. Hooker on the results of three years' experiments with tlie ItlondloU N-rays emitted by the liumiui body. Dr. Hooker says lie has established the fact that these rays differ In color according to the character and tem perament of a person, and also that the rays are not merely heat vibra tions, as he proved by passing rays from his own hand through the fore arm of ft corpse to a prepared screen which Immediately showed Increased luminosity. In reference to the dif fering colors of the rays, Dr. Hooker ays: "Kays emanating from a very pas loimte man have a deep red hue. One whose keynote In life Is to be good and to do good, throws off pink rays; an ambitious man emits oranga rays; a deep thinker throws olT deep blue; a lover of art and refined sur roundings, yellow; un anxious, de pressed person, gray; one who leads t low, debased lire, muddy brown rays; a devotional, good meaning per son, light blue; progressive minded, light green, and physically or mentally 111 person, dark green rays." Dr. Hooker admits Unit his slate mont may be received at first with B smile of Incredulity, but he Is con fident It will sooner or litter be accept ed as a fact. He further says he has proved that N-rays are not only given Off by the human body, but by objects which have been In contact there with. He obtained this Impression from a letter thirty years old, which proved that the rays are radioactive tnd retain their power on the paper on which writing is made. London Ca ble tn the New York Sun.

Marriage license clerks should pre pare for the rush, for the chief mar riage bundles p has been removed. As toon as sulhcient time has elapsed for .lie study of a book Just published In London called "Wives and How to Manage Them," they may expect a tidal wave of young men with the li cense fee and the courage of their ;onvlcUons. The author hides his fame under the Mine of "One Who Knows," but that .vlll not prevent him receiving a inonti nent from the male portion of the En glish speaking race after he has been lynched by their better halves. He starts off by drawing attention to the fact that "there are numerous handbooks published which deal with the management of the horse, the dog, the canary, and other domestic aul mals, and yet there Is no good and useful text book upon the 'Choice and Management of the Wife,' who Is by far the inoBt Important, most expen sive and most universal of the domes tic pets." The course of management must be gin with the honej moon, and the great thing the husband has to beware Is al lowing his wife to think for herself. If you speak a foreign language nnd the does not, spend your honeymoou m that country, then you must do the thinking for both. "If you do not your wife may begin to think for you. To i!low this is the most fatal error you ?nn possibly commit, It Is a habit you may hud It difficult to break her of afterwards. Let her talk that does no manner of harm and comes to most women much more easily than think ng hot, if possible, prevent her from thinking at all; in n wife it Is a most pernicious habit, only one degree less terrible than that of reasoning, which s a deadly sin. If once your wife be gins to reason about things In gen i.ral. and contracts the habit, before long she Is sure to reason about you. Now you know ipilte well that you will not bear reasoning about. One of the few things for which n nan may bp miturnlly thankful Is wo man's changeability. "Some unthink ing male creatures have reproached women for this changeability; they do not realize that no sane man would -are to eat boiled mutton at every meal, year In and year out." He strongly advises moderation In the mniingtanenf of a wife by means uf violence, and cites a good reason from the police court. "The magis trate asked the wife: 'And you mean lo say that thai miserable wreck of a man gave you a black eye 7 ' 'Lor, sir,' die answered, 'he wasn't B miserable wreck afore he strnck mo." Tbo ar gument Is convincing. One thing you must do In manag ing a wife Is to Insist on her doing is you say. and then shutting your eyes, so that you may not see when die does the opposite. So, and only so, an you muage bcr with happiness .or both. This needs the co-operation of the vlfe, boweyer, and tbo power to tell t good, convincing lie. The final advice It: "Be careful, whatever you do. to keep op your oub- avnpnou u uur nuu. A mans doum Is his castle; but a married man a eaa tie ia his club."

Episode In the Life of Otto Mears Marsh LI Fee. Otto Mears of Saguache Is known It Colorado as the "Pathfinder of the Sat Juan" because of stage and toll roadt he built through the mountains. Ont of his stage lines was over Marshal pass. He was constantly censurinf his drivers for being Blow. The result was that every man was anxious tc get him alone in a stage and demon strate that they could go fast enough to please him. One morning he waited at the sum mit of Marshall pass for the slagt driven br Henry Burns, a recklest driver, to leave for the foot He was dressed in a black suit that was mold ed to blrn and on his head was a new silk hat and his linen was spotlessly white. He was the only passenger. "I'll give him the ride of his life," remarked Burns to the station men. Four of the best horses on the lint were hooked up. Mears stepped intc the stage with a fresh cigar In hit mouth and Burns clamered on the box He cracked his whip with a volley ol curses and the leaders nearly jumped out of the harness. He sent the four down the serpentine road In recorc time, the stage banging agains tht tula f.f thp mountain, crazing tht edcea of precipices, whirling arounr sharp curves on two wheels and bound Ing over rocks with jars that raiseC the heavy vehicle three feet and plunged It forwurd with a bump thai started every bolt and nail. Thf horses were white with lather, but still Burns urged them on. At the foot of the pass Burns pulled up his foaming and well-nigh spen' horses and Mears climbed out. lib silk bat was a battered wreck, lib clothes were torn In dozen of plarei and his hands and face were scratched and bleeding, for he had been tossec about In the stage like a pea a can but his cigar was still gripped In hit teeth. He said nothing, however, nn til the stage was driven up to continm on Its way, when he ramarked t Burns: "Henery, I tink I vlll ride on te out side mit you. I vas so lonesome In side I couldn't keep avake." Chlcagi Chronicle. True Kiches. A writer in the Outlook describes 8 ride he once took with an old farmei In a New England village, dtninf which some of the men of the neigh horhood came under criticism. Speaking of a prominent man in tht nolghlmrhood. I asked: "Is he a mau of means?" "Well, sir," the farmer replied, "ht hasn't got much money, hut lies mighty rich." "Has he a great deal of land, then?" I asked. "No, sir, lie hasn't got much land, cither, but he's mighty rich." The old farmer, with -a pleased smile, observed my puzzled look for a moment, and then explained: "You see, he hasn't got much money, and he hasn't got much land, but still he Is rich, because he never went to bed owing a man a cent In his life. He lives as well as he wants to live and he pays as he goes; he doesn't owe anything, and he Isn't afraid ol anybody; he telis every man the ttuth and does his duty by himself, his fain lly, and his neighbors; his word is at good as his bond, and every man woman and child in town looks up t( him, and respects him.

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS The Sense of Gratitude. GIVING and taking makes up such a large part of life that the art of thanks Is well worth a little consideration. The sensation of gratitude Is, generally speak lug, a double sensation. It con sist. in pleasure produced by a gift or favor for Its own sake, and lu a renewed sense of affection or regard toward the' giver. The latter should always be the uppermost feel ing in the mind, though there are circumstances In w hich It Is not possible that it should be the strongest A well expressed gratitude conveys both feelings, and every grati tude which does so Is well expressed. howevr badly it may be worded. Occasionally only one of these two feel ings Is present in the mind, and it is a nice question of morals how far the other may rightly be simulated, The amount of thanks a man receives during his life depends very largely upon his accomplishment as a giier. There are those who give with so much simplicity that they conciliate the proud, set the shy at their ease, and dull the selfish sharpness of critical perceptions; but the obligation of returning thanks remains the same, bow ever awkwardly it may be laid upon us. No man has any right to consider his creditor's circumstances before lie pays his debt, or to keep his creditor waiting because of his bad manners. Gratitude is a debt which only the worst men repudiate. The things for which we feel most warmly grateful we can at least often repay in kind, but the treasury of words is freely open to the poorest and It surely worth some pains to learn Uiem. Loudon Spectator. The Decay of 'Faithfulness." WE seldom hear the word "faithfulness" used now in the old fashioned Evangelical sense, when it had reference, according to the defini tion In Murray's Dictionary, "to the duty of tell Uig unwelcome counsel." Very few people now pride them lolves upon being 'faithful'' with their friends 1. e., nev rr allowing affection or a proper regard for the liberty of the Individual to stand between them and a true expres lion of unasked opinion. No one lioasts that he or she has )een "faithful." Such severity may be nt times necessary, t lid often excusable, but it is no longer admired. A ten lency to rigorous dealing, whether verbal or otherwise, has Visf its place among the virtues, nnd takes rank among ninor defects of character. Of course, we all tell unpleas int truths and give unwelcome advice at times, but not U'len of set purpose. We do it, so to speak, by accident iocatise we have losf our tempers, or are otherwise carried iway by our feelings. Those who suffer from the faithful vounds of a friend, or painfully reject his gratuitous gttld Ince, do not try. as lljjir grandfathers tried after the first Moment of Inevitrlilo frrit ji ion was.v.er to feel gratitude lownrds him on the ground of his faithfulness; at best now adays they do but try to forgive him for his interference. All this, of course. Is merely a part of the modern aoft snlng of manners, the modern respect for the Individual, t ml the modern worship of liberty. For the decay of 'faithfulness" within the circle of Intimacy comes of the tame advance in civilization which has killed verbal per nmil violence In the wider circle of cultivated society, friends no longer dare to play with sharp-edged personnll :les. Acquaintances no longer search in conversation, as Iheoilore Hook's contemporaries appear to have searched, 'or something to hit with. Unless a man wishes to he iated, he must use his knowledge of the weaknesses of Ihosc around him in order to spare not to chastise them. Loudon Spectator. Is Mental V'gor on the Wane? A DISTINGUISHED British physician, Dr. Hyslop, Is quoted as saying that "with the apparent advance of civilization there Is In reality n diminution In intel lectual vigor, mainly due to faulty management In iconnmy of brnln power." The assertion that there ins been no Increase In Intellectual tower Rltiee the HOW WOMAN ACTS IN DANGER. Can He Icpenled On for Something Un usual When Frightened. Speeding down Michigan avenue the other evening in his automobile with a feminine companion, Sidney Godhnm. secretary of the Automobile Club, sud denly spied n cat In the middle of the toad, staring ut his headlight "Now, I'm going to get that cat," he remarked to his companion, who earnestly begged him to desist. "No " he persisted, "there were too many stray cats prowling about In the world already," and he speeded his automo bile straight ahead. Within five feet of the bewildered nnlninl, which for some strange reason had not budged, the girl leaned forward In her intense sympathy for the poor cat about to be crushed. Sir. Gotiinm, running ills machine at the rate of tweuly-flve miles an hour, suddenly veered to the side. He saved the cat, lint pretty nearly lost his companion, who, unable to preserve her poise, went pitching out of the vehicle, be catching her by the coat Just In time lo save a catas trophe. This Is only one of the many inci dents In which the "eternal feminine" will do mi unusual or unguarded thing In the presence of sudden fright Not that women are any more susceptible to loss of presence of nilml than men. generally. On the contrary, from the testimony of those who have had wide experience In dealing with both sexes In the presence of scares of any kind. women hold equal rank with men In cases of fires, runaways, In burglar frights, nnd In automobile Bcares, in uplte of the exception given. "In fact" continues M: Gorhnm, speaking of automobillng, "I find my wife keeps her head Just as wen us 1 do, and the same thing is true ol pret ty nearly nil the women I kno,. ji course, we don't have much to innnt en us. Accidents ore really much mof e rare than people generally suppose. With confidence In their opnmtor when they are not scared out of It, as In the case I have Just related women do not always realize real danger when it comes. "Tho narrowest escape I ever had occurred when thero were three women In my auto.

Is this a fact? Do we find evidence therefor in the at Uvities of the generation now holding the world's stage a. in the work of the generation fitting itself In school, fie and workshop for future control? Hardly. In the 6cience( in the arts, In every line of research and invention, thea is steady if not remarkable progress. The patent offices o the various countries do not indicate any diminution o mental fertility or Ingenuity. The fiction, the poetry, tJa periodical literature and journalism of the day, with all thj excrescences we deplore in them, do not afford proof q mental deterioration. The standards of onr secondary schools, colleges, un versities and professional institutions are higher than evej yet we do not get the impression from educators' reporti that boys anj girls are unequal to the task of meeting th tests imposed before admission or of following the coursei prescribed. No, there seems to be no evidence of the waning ot Intelligence alleged by the eminent physician. Neverthe less, there is "food for thought" in his remarks, to thU extent at least that such phenomena as the rapid increast of lunacy demand serious inquiry into our systems of ed cation. Facts are useful when they readily fall Into classes presided over by large ideas. An ill-assorted collec tion of barren facts Is of little value, and tends to "diffuse consciousness" and lack of continuity of thought Thf world was never richer than it Is to-day In the raw ma terial knowledge, but the chief function of education il to develop capacity for deep and sustained thought. Gives concentration, discipline and method, and the aceumi lation of knowledge is relatively easy in our time.

"Catching Cold" and How to Avoid IL F people could only get the superstition out of thell heads that pneumonia and its invariable precursor, I "cold," are due to cold air and draughts, the death rat from pneumonia and the discomfort rate from "colds" could be cut down In a week to almost nothing. Nevei was there a more destructive misnomer than calling thi fever which does so much harm a "cold." As a matter of fact a "cold" is not due to cold at all, but to overheating the skin and a lack of fresh air lo the lungs. People put on heavy woolen underclothing; sit in a room heated to the temperature of midsummer, perspire freely, thus opening their pores; the moisture la prevented by the wool from evaporating and leaving the skin cool and dry and remains on the surface thus ren dered sensitive. Then they go suddenly out into the cold air, which instantly chilis the moist and open pores, drives, the blood away from the surface, creates an internal con gestion that deranges ail the organ i, and a fever follows. This, of course, affects the mucous membrane from within, and the membrane, which has been dried and baked In the overheated room, and thus made a lodging for tbo dangerous microbes bred in foul and oxygen-exhausted air, cannot resist the attack through the blood and becomes an easy prey to the microbes from without Then there la suffering and, too often, pneumonia and death. A European once asked a Canadian Indian who worrf nothing but a loosely wrapped blanket in the northern winter, whether he would not take cold. "Cold?" replied the Indian, scornfully. "White man not cover his face white man's face not cold? No? Indian al! face!" That is the secret of immunity from colds and pneu moiila. Be all face that is, do not wear heavy under clothing but heavy outerclothing which you cau remove iu a warm room, breathe plenty of fresh oxygenated air, nnd you can laugh the draughts to scorn, will find the outdoor cold much more easily bearable, and can grad ually reduce the temperature of your home and your offlca to the European standard. So shall you escape pneumonia and premature dentil. Chicago Journal. SENATOR HOAR DIED POOR. Lived in Roarding House at Washing ton Cottatce Ilia Hojne.
