Fourteen men, whose combined ages
amount to 1, ICO years, have answered
the questions put to them, and of these
answers the most interesting are those

It cost "Our Mary" $10,000 to secure
her release from a professional engage

a matrimonial engagement with Mr.

hope that Mary has not paid too much
for Mr. Navarro.
Edward Payson Weston, the once
famous pedestrian, is CI years of age,
but he regards a fifty-mile walk of lit
tle importance, and ho is at present
thinking of organizing a walk across the
continent which will take ia all the
big towns and stretch over a track that
is roughly estimated at 4,000 miles. It
will not be done for the love of sport
alone, but for the purpose of booming
a Western town.
Ax exchange tells how one can find
the day of the week of any date by
a simple mathematical calculation.
But the simplicity of the figuring
gives no value to the information, be
cause when a"feller" forgets the day of
the week he is generally in such a
frame of mind that he cannot tell 2
from next Tuesday. Our mathematical
exchange should now publish directions
for finding key-holes with night keys by
triangulation.
It appears that luck was not always
on Mr. Gould's side. He recalls that,
when he first arrived in New York, he
was told very confidentially that there
was a gold mine for sale up in New
Hampshire. He invested $250 in it,
and he has never since been able to
find either the county or the town where
the mine was supposed to be. But he
has kept the certificate, on which there
appears a pretty picture of the miners
at work. It has been a sort of beacon to
him ever since.

For a choice bit of humor we com-
mend the suggestion that the French
yachtsmen may build a yacht to send
over to this country to sail for the
American cup. The Frenchmen have
never been particularly distinguished
as vacatamen, sua we are iucuneu re
think that they would not make much
headway against the American cham
pions that have so often shown their
heels to the best English boats. Prob
ably the Frenchmen do not think very
seriously of this scheme; but if they do,
we advise them first to take a fly with
the English craft that we rind it so easy
to distance. Then they will know bet
ter whether they ought to come over
here or not. And they will never come.

It is remarkable that enterprising
' whales who pass the summer season z.
! Newport and Long Branch, gene: ally
slope around to Baltimore dn'i jg the
fall, and pass the winter season among
the best society and best oysters of the j
, South. Recently the captain and crew
of a vessel in the Chesapeake had a
racing match with a whale which was
i eighty feet long. The leviathan went
, off at a tangent in pursuit of his midday
meal and the ocean race was abruptly
terminated. But the mere fact that he
was there, or thereabout, shows that
Southern progress is not confined to
literature, manufactures, or cotton
growing. All things are possible to
' the people who can have a real whale
of their own.
i Few people in this country are aware
of the fact that a great fair has been
held at Tashkend, the capital of Rus
sian Turkestan. The exhibition in-
' eluded the display of products of the
central Asian region and was in many
ways a remarkable enterprise. Per
h'apa its chief interest, however, lies in

interrelationships, it has been carried
through successfully, the Turks slowly
acceding to the propositions of the
dominant races, which are gradually
extending their sway, together with
their railroads, into the darkest of the
unenlightened nations.
The numerous inventions which have
been developed in the past hundred
years in the line of cotton-working ma
chinery have worked a revolution in tne
industry, and cheapened the production
of goods very materially. But there is
one process which has never yet been
materially aided or altered, no mechan
ical process having been successfully
introduced to do the work. Cotton
picking has always been done by hand.
Now, however, it is reported that a ma
chine for this work has been invented
which promises to be successful in its
! operation. If this be true, and the
' Southern cotton planter can pick his
,tUi machinery, deliver it to

You can tell the maimer of a man by
the-way he wears his hat. Your jovial,
happy-go-lucky man wears it on the
back of hi- head. Things do not
trouble him much. One reason is that
he has never had any trouble. If he
had, ho would be wearing his hat
farther over. The man who walks
along thinking of his work, who is a
matter of fact sort of a man, never very
bap2y, and never very bine, wears his
hat squarely on his head. The man
who has trouble at home, or who is a
great thinker, wears his tilted over his
laugh

at your jokes, the first man is your
friend. If you want good advice, go to
the second, and if you want sympathy

tlortble in his eyes, and the tilted
h brim tells it instead of hiding it.
Aoiei.axcholy case was brought to
light in Brooklyn the other day when
a man was taken to court on the charge
of neglecting to provide for his family.
He solemnly asseverated that he car
ried home all the money he earned.
Being further questioned, he admitted
that his sole means of livelihood was
serving as a juror, and that he only got
a chance to prosecute his vocation about
once a year. This is sometimes scoffed
at as the age of the decadence of faith.
But think of the faith which this poor
man has exercised day after day and
year after year! Is it any wonder if he
has sometimes doubted whether, after
all, trial by jury is the palladium of our
liberties? Certainly he were to be par
doned if questionings and suspicions
sometimes arose in his mind. Still, the
calm wings of his faith soared above
such petty things, and he faced the fu
ture with coulidence. As a family pro
vider, though, it is plain that sucli a
person has serious drawbacks. But
there's no denying his faith; it might
not be able to remove mountains, but
it would not hesitate at a fair-sized hill.
How Our Nnvy UmmI to hhoot.
The proficiency of American gunnery
in this war is perhaps best illustrated by
the Constitutions first action with the
Gueriere, in which she was hnlled but
three times, while her antagonist, to use
tiie words of her commander, was re
duced to a "perfect wreck" within forty
minutes from the time the Constitution
began to fire. This battle occurred on
August ID, 1812.
In her action with the Java, Decem
ber 29, 1812, off the coast of Brazil, the
Constitution was hulled but four times,
and with the exception of her maintop
sail yard she did not lose a spar. The
Java, on the other hand, was "totally
dismasted," while her hull was so shat
tered and pierced with shot-holes that
it was impossible to get her to the har
bor of San Salvador, which was only a
few honrs sail.
In her action with the Cvane and Le-
j van t the forces opposed were: Consti
tution, 51 guns with l,l!9i pounds oi
metal; British, 55 guns with 1,508
pounds of metal. In this extraordinary
action the Constitution was hnlled only
thirteen times, while the Cyane had
every brace and bowline cut away, "her
main and mizzen masts left in a totter
ing t-tate, and other principal spars
wounded, several shots in the hull, nine
or ten between wind and water." The
Levant was also roughly handled.
Before dismissing the subject of gun
nery we should take into consider
ation : 1. The inferior quality of Ameri
can cannon and shot 2. The deficiency
in weight of American shot, U. The
fact that in two of the four actions be
tween single frigates the English used
French cannon and shot, which were
eight per cent, heavier than their nom
inal English equivalents Century.
Can Weigh a Hair.
A delicate weighing apparatus, built
in Philadelphia for the United States
Government, has been completed and
set up in the United States assay office
in New York. The balance i-J made to
carry 10,000 ounces (equal to about
700 pounds avoirdupois) in each pan,
and the contract stipulated that the
scales must be sensible to 1-100 ounce
when loaded to full capacity. When
the balance was placed in position, a
careful test was made, the pans being
loaded with 10,000 ounces of gold
bricks. The addition of an extra 1-1G0
ounce immediately moved the entire
mass, and effect n ally demonstrated the
remarkable unsibility of the machine.
The perfec.ion of the working part f
the machine is nore remarkable when
it is cor. idereil .hat the beam with its
hanpi-jg and full load weighs nearly a
t"'-'. And yet a weight of less than live
grains sufficed to move this ponderous
mass.
A VnncI Substitute.
A policeman who was patroling Brush
street the other night heard someone
growling and mumbling near Recrea
tion Park, and after hunting around for
awhile he located a man lying under a
tree.
"What are you doing here?" he
asked.
"It's my bed for the night.''
"But you'll freeze here."
"Oh, no, I won't. I've got a sut
stitute for bed-quilts."
"I don't see it"
uBut I've got it. There's a chap in

IN DARKEST NEW YORK.
Draadfal Places aad Dreadral Things ia
the American Metropolis,
We must leave tbo tenements without
attempting to reproduce any of the
shocking cases of crowded rooms in
which almost incredible numbers of poor
wretches are huddled together even in
summer, when Mr. Itiis has found the
thermometer to rise to 115 decrees. We
must pass over his description of Jew
town and its sweat-shops, in which mis
erable Jews spend eighteen hours a
dav at slop-work for the clothing
manufacturers, and from which the
clothing is often sent out loaded with
the infection of smail-pox and typhus.
We must omit his terrible account of the
degradation of Chinatown with its opium
joints, ruining both men and women.
We cannot follow him to the wretched
holes where poor Bohemians barely make
the day's bread by tho labor of whole
families at cicar making. Wo cannot
even coudenso what he tells of the
swarming thousands of patient Italians.
In some of these places there is more
than struggle; there is often star
vation. "Every once in a while,"
he says, "a case of downright starvation
gets into the papers and makes a sensa
tion. But this is tho exception. Were
the whole truth known it would come
home to the community with a shock
that would rouse it to a more serious
effort than the spasmodic undoing of its
purse-strings. I am satisfied from my
own observation that hundreds of men,
women and children are every day slowly
starving to death with my med
ical friend's complaint of 'improper
nourishment.' Within a singlo week I
have had this year three cases of insan
ity, provoked directly by poverty and
want. Ono was that of a mother who,
in the middle of tho night, got up to
murder her child, which was crying
for food. Anotlicr was a case
of a truck-driver unable to work for
many months. In the house there was
neither food nor a scrap of anything on
which money could be raised, and his
mind gave way under the strain of phys
ical and mental suffering. In the third
i-asc I was just in time with the police to
prevent tho madman from murdering his
whole family." Worse than even that is
the case of thousands of ill-fated work
ing girls. The average wages of 150,000
of them Is sixty cents per day; and that
Includes the incomes of the stylish "cash
iers" who earn S2 a day as well as the
pittance of girls who earn thirty cents a
day in east-side factories. The lot of the
average saleswoman who does not partly
depend on her family is hard indeed.
The Ctiurchnum.
Sad Fate of an Indian Maiden.
The life of the mission Indian maiden
is not altogether a happy one, especially
if she is pretty, judging from the fate
which befell a comely daughter of the
tribe at Mesa Grande recently, says the
San Diego Union. A letter received
here from one of the most reliable resi
dents of that district relates a thrilling
and barbarous incident. The corre
spondent says:
"In the autumn, after harvest is over,
the Indians hold this fearful orgie hu
man sacrifice. Each clan by itself, at
the burial place of its own tribe, gathers
in from all the country round and pro
ceeds to frighten away the evil spirit by
offering a human sacrifice to the gods,
the sacrifice always consisting of the
most comely young maiden belonging to
the clan. This was practiced here re
cently. In this caso it was a young
girl 13 years of age, whose race was
nearly as white as my own and whose
tresses would have graced the head of a
queen. She has been attending M-hool
at one of the white s-chools of the neigh
borhood for several years, and is as well
educated as the average country maiden
of that age. as far as school books go.
"But alas, when at home she is in that
hotbed of vice, the Indian rancherie. and
all the outside influence counts for
naught in counteracting the pernicious
influences which surround her there. A
huge fire was built and the usual pre
liminaries of groaning, chanting, flat
footed stamping and all that sort of jug
glery that is common on such occasions
was gone through with in extra fervor
on this occasion, and while this was in
progress tho fire had burned somewhat
and lost its fiercest heat.
"When it reached this stage a huge
pile of very green brush is brought and
thrown upon the fire, making the ntost
blinding smoke you can well imagine,
and while this is at its height the maiden
is bound, a blanket is thrown over tho
smouldering green brush, and amid the
most demoniacal cries and shouts she is
thrown thereon, and the whole mad
crowd vie with each other in pilingbrush
over her until, in this case, it was as
high and broad as a squatter's cabin. Of
course all this brush is green, and is not
calculated to cremate tho girl, but only

smoke is enough to kill anyone but an

as green brush sometimes does, nothing
can save her from instant death. It was
a terrible scene, and all this in the midst
of a civilized community that is con
stantly contributing to foreign mis
sions." The relations between the emperor
William of Germany and his mother
have subsided from bitter hostility into

jealousy of his mother.

The pen by whose magic power
The world's great heart Is wrung!
Ah: wouldst thou pray 'twould bear thee
Love's rosy dreams?
Days w hen thy life with wildest
Ecstasy teems?
Moments when lips will meet the

Hours that brightly greet thee
Laden with pure bliss?

Crowned desires!
Hope's unfultlllment! Grief's
Ravening Urea!
Riches or love or laurels!
What'er to thy lot be sent.
God grant the New Year'll bring thee
Peace and a heart content!

Stanley and Du Chailiu have" rivrfl
says a .ew iorK special to the ban
Francisco IZniiiifitcr. According to
dispatch from Indianapolis, some boys
kavc discovered a cave in Crawford
count;, Indiana, and which is inhabited
by a race of humans averaging less than
threo feet Ui height and forty pounds in
weight.
Of course the boys wero laughed at
when they told their story. Then they
returned to the cave, and, after convinc
ing themselves that they were not dream
ing, came back and excited the curiosity
of hundreds of citizens by reiterating
their story. A large expedition has been
organized to visit the cave.
The underground cave-dwellers ap
pear, according to descriptions by the
boys, to be tho lowest type of humanity.
They run upon all fours when they tiro
of the erect position. They exhibited
extreme fear of the intruders and clam
bered with agility over heap of stones
in their frantic flight.

When the youthful explorers were ob

A STRUGGLE WITH DIRT
Goes on in civilized society from the eradla to the grave. Dirt is Jegrtv
dation and degradation is destruction. "Women, especially, are judged
by their habits of household cleanliness, and no stronger condemnation
can be expregsed than "she keeps a dirty house and a filthy kitchen." But
the struggle with dirt is often unequal. The -oinan's weakness or tho
worthlessnesa of the soaps she uses make it impossible to overcomo th
