PORTRAIT OF SIR FRANCIS DRAKE.-Motleys
History Of the United Netherlands gives the
annexed sketch of Sir Francis Drake-who,
some say, was the discoverer of our Bay of
San Francisco, $50 named by the Spaniards
some two centuries later), and of the golden
riches of California. There is a printing of
Sir Francis says the Bulletin, in the room of
the Board of Supervisors, in the City Hall.
Drake was a small man, apparently about
forty five years of age, of fair, but some
what weather stained complexion, with light
brown, closely curling hair, and expansive e
forehead, clear blue eye, rather commonplace
features, thin, brown, pointed beard, and
slight moustache. Though low Of stature,
he was broad chesed with well knit limbs.
Ills hands, which were small and nervous,
were brown and callous with the marks of
toll There was something in his brow and
glance not to be mistaken, and which men
willingly call master; yet he did not seem to
have sprung of the born magnateS of the
earth. He wore a heavy gold chain abont
his neck, and it might be observed that upon
the light, full sleeves of his slashed doubet
the image of small ship on terrestrial
globe was curiously and many times embroi-
dered.

An Eccentric Musician.

List is eccentric and extremely proud /;
ha moreover cherisbes a singular animosity
against apples, which useful fruit be con
siders as unworthy Of being ranked among
the edibies of tho planet. At certain din
nor, not many years ago, some young men
having made bot that they would draw
out the Lion" on the subject of his favorits
antipathy, one of them, when the dessert
was placed on tho tablo, launched forth into
a high flown panegyric upon apples, bot
declared that no was unable to decide
"whether they should be peeled or eaten
with the rind."
"Pray, NJ. Liszt," continued the Young
man, what do you consider to be the moss
correct way of eating an apple
"Sir," replied the artist with freezing
baughtineas, ''no well-bred man would cat
an apple in any ray."
On another OCCASION List was invited to
grand soiree given by the Russian Princoss
L., renowned for her pride, and for her
insolent way of showing il. Among Liszt's
many whims is that of always helping him
self TO sugar with his fingers, dsdaining
sugar.tongs. When tea was brought in
Liszt helped himself to sugar in his usual
way. The Princess. who happened to be
very near him, said TO the footman who was
carrying the tray: Take swav that sugar
basin and bring another" List took no
apparent notice of this insult, but went on
converting with those about, taking several
cups of tea, and seeming 10 enjoy them
greatly. IL was warm evening, and the
windows OF tho salon were wide open
Whed List bad finished his last cup of tea,
he walked deliberately across the room to
the nearest window, and threw his cup and
saucer-the service being most magnificent
and costly, out into the street.
Good heavens, Mr.. Liszt !" shricked the
indignant Princess, springiug to her feot,
"what could have prompted you to commit
such piece of vandalism !"
"Madam," replied Liszt, with an air of
the utmost simplicity and the most perfect
sung Jroid, had touched both the cup and
saucer with my fingers. and supposed you
would have considered them as defiled by
the contact"

Statistics of Sickness,

Six hundred thousand persons die in the

plying to that population tho mean death.
rate reduced from calculations.
The vital stasissics of England show tina,
for each doa,h there occur about twenty
eight cases OF sickness, or two years Of per.
petual sickness. From which IL results tha.
thcso six hundred thousand deaths which
take place in tho United States every year,
arc accompanied by sixteen million eight
hundred thousand cases of sickness, or one
million two hundred Thousand years of sick.
moss; shat is, one million two hundred thou
sand persons arc perpetually sick.
Now every enlightened and candid physi
clan will toll us that at least one half o
these deaths and ono half of this sickness il
unnecessary and preventable. and is pro.
ducod by tho violation of the laws of health
ei,hor in regard to the air wo breathe, the
food VIC eat, or the clothing we wear. The
highest English authority upon Physiology
says that the average annual mortality ol
England sis just double that to which i,
might be reduced" by proper attention to
hygiene; that "only 1913, 900 (of the annut
doaths) are inevitable, the remaining los. .Oot
boing preventable."
But 40 far as we havc tho data necessar,
for making tho comparison, it appears tina
tho standard Of health and tho length o
lifo In this country are lower than IN En-
gland; tho mortality there being about 2
iu overy 1000 inhabitants annually, whit
in the United States IL is about "a per ! ,00t
