Notable Events I'm the History of the
Delaware River.

Recently the n. Y. Nail published
an article containing recollections OF
the olden time by Admiral Charles
Stewart, which were noted down by a
gentleman visiting tie old hero. short
time previous to his death, at his resi-
dence at Burlington n. J. We select
the following items, which will be of
interest to our readers:
'sIn 1889 two hundred and fifty head
of cattle were washed on Smiths Island
into the Delaware. In 1890, l have
seen just below Trenton ships loaded
with flour and lumber for the West
Indies, now shallop cannot get there
only on high water. In the year '9G L
was loading a vessel in the West India
trade at the wharf in Philadelphia, in
the month of March (early), and while
northwester set in, which blew for
fifteen days, with so much force that 1t
forced the coast water eff TO the Gulf
Stream, and drained nearly all of the
water out of the Delaware, so that men
women and children, with sacks and
shawls, baskets and bags, walked about
the bottom of the river at Philadelphia,
raking out old ropes, small anchors,
purses of money, watches, and various
other articles which had been lost from
vessels and ends of wharves. That
perambulating continued about week,
and there were very few wharves at
Philadelphia where any vessel would
float; my own vessel was high and dry
in the mud, and we stopped loading for
a week. The same thing occurred in
the year 17S0, when Benjamin Cooper,
who kept the ferry at that time at Cam
den, walked over from Camden to
Smiths Island on the muddy bottom,
and marked on one of the rocks the
precise point of the lowest water, putt
ing on the date of the year; and he
again went over i'm '99 before named,
and found the same rock and the same
mark. There was then four inches
lower water than it had been in 1850
which rock he marked again that year,
March l796. This whole statement may
be found i'm the records of the Frank
lin Institute, and in the Philadelphia
papers of March 1876. In the winter of
'9l, there was brig, think, from
Maine, to Philadelphia, loaded with
peas and beans. She was cut through
with ice; the water got in and swelled
the peas and beans in her and burst her,
and that was the foundation Of Pea
patch. 1t was caused by the loss of
that vessel in March, hence the name
Pea-patch. The John in the winter of
'9S, was cut through within and sunk,
and that gave the name to the Ship
John Shoal.'

Dosing.

There are host of people who seem
to have little else to do but to consider
metaphysical condition and administer
doses for its improvement; people who
are positively dissipated and intemper-
ate in their use of medicines, and appear
to think this world not so much a vale
of tears as of drugs; people to whom
new prescription affords delight only
equaled by that which a savant would
derive from the possession of bone of
the extinct megatherium.
If they are In the least under the
weather, it never occurs to them to
allow Nature to work out her own SAL
walton, but they take their affairs into
their own hands, and having small ac-
quaintance with her processes, the re-
suit resembles that of a novice attempt
ing the tasks of a superior. and making
them the more difficult for that superior
to accomplish. One of the peculiar
pleasures of such persons consists in
persuading others to try their method
of cure. The most delicate compliment
you can pay them is TO swallow some
nauseating mixture upon their recon-
mendation, which all the while bears
strong family likeness to that of those
who, with bad compilations, assure you
that soap is wholesome for the skin, or
bald people who extol the virtue of GER
tain washes which they have employed.
This art of dosing does not interfere,
however with the usefulness of the
family physician, but rather supplies
him with practice by laying the foun-
dations for positive disease. The stOm-
ach which has been unrighteously cor
tected rebels at length; the nerves that
have been too often artificially sOothed
finally refuse to acknowledge the power
of the eharmer; the strength engen-
dered by stimulants proves but broken
reed; appetites fortified by frequent
tOnics surrender one day without re-
serve.
If the science of medicine itself is as
yet only experimental, must not anna
teur dosing, beyond question, belong to
the most Objectionable class of empiri-
cisms .-HdrJerS' BdzQr.

Paper Car. wheels.

The infinite variety of purposes to
which paper is applied in the Empire
of Japan has astonished all Europeans
who have visited that country. They
have literally found paper, paper every
where, and in all shapes and forms.
The Japanese, however, with all their
ingenuity in this direction, would never
have dreamt of making paper wheels
for railway carriages. This, neverthe-
less, Is being done at Sheffield at this
moment, and we have seen sample of
the work. The paper wheels have steel
tires, made with an inside flange and
east iron boss. On each side of the
boss are tires to whichsteel plates p
of an inch thick are bolted, and the
space between the plates is filled with
compressed paper. The paper is COM
posed of what are known as "straw
boards" and these are made TO adhere
to each other by means of rye PASTE
The combined layers of paper are next
subjected to hydraulic pressure to the
extent of 1000 tons for the space of four
or five hours, and then dried in heated
air-bath. The final thickness of the
prepared paper is about q inches, and,
as may be imagined, the quantity of
straw-board packed in this concentrated
space by the giant force of the hydraul-
ic ram is something enormous. Still a
certain amount of the elasticity remains
to the substance, and this-in unism
with its homogeneity and singular
smoothness of grain and texture-con-
stitutes one of its highest qualifications
for the duty it will presently have to
perform. Lathes, slide-rests and sharp
tools are made to shape the compressed
paper into disks of the proper size, and
under a pressure of four hundred tons
these are then forced into the tires. The
steel protecting plates are subsequently
bolted to the inner and outer peripher-
les OF the wheels, and after finish
ing touch to the latter they are ready to
be keyed on their axle and placed under
the railway carriage. 1t is understood
that experiments both in America and
in this country have gone to prove the
superiority of paper railway wheels
over those of steel or wrought iron, and
that the brake, however suddenly and
sharply applied, does not injure them
in the least.

One Way OF Collecting subscriptions.

A barrister recently received a letter
from a school board election agent to
this effect-"Sir: i am deeply interes-
ted in procuring the return of Mr.
for the board, and, knowing your views
upon educational matters, have
taken the liberty of placing your name
upon his committee. | have further
veutured to put down your name as a
subscriber of five guineas toward his
expenses, and unless you notify to me
on or before the-th that you do not
concur in these arrangements. | shall
take the further liberty of assuming
that you acquiesce in them, and that
may look TO you for the subscription
recorded to your name"
The barrister promptly replied: "Sir:
| regret that rannot accept the offers
made by you to me in your letter of
yesterday. may, however, mention
that am deeply interested in raising a
fund to provide for the necessities of a
destitute and deserving widow lady.
Knowing your charitable disposition,
have taken the liberty of putting down
your name as subscriber for ten gum
cas-, and since bis dat qui cito, shall,
unless | hear to the contrary from you
by midday to morrow, venture to as
sumo that you accept my offices on your
behalf, and that I-may look to you for
that amount of subscription
Early next morning came a messen-
ger, in haste in cab, bearing letter
from the agent. $50 sorry. but the
pressing calls upon his purse forbade
him to accept Mis- kind offices.'

How The Tuilerfes Were Named.

1t has been somewhat of a surprise
to archeologists and antiquaries that in
the excavations of the New Avenue de
POpera so few buried historical records
of the past should have been brought to
light. Here and there few louis dor
of recent date have been found, but
positively no treasure of any absolute
value or interest has been discovered.
On the Champs de Mars and the Troca-
dero, Notwithstanding the primitive
condition Of the ground, no remains
whatever of early human work have
been brought to light. But to make up
for this loss the engineers have come
across most valuable quarries of build
ing stone and gravel sufficient alone to
supply the enormous requirements of
the building.
The other day, however, in excava-
ting the new carriageway which passes
before the facade of the Tuileries, the
workmen came upon some remains of
the kilns in which for centuries had
been MANUFACTURED the tiles for which
Paris had so long been famous. If any
doubt can remain as to how the palace
Of the Tuileries obtained its name it is

Entirely apart from all moral and re-
ligious obligations, principle is an alb
solute requisite to any great and per-
manent success in business. Let two
men be engaged in any branch of trade,
with the same external advantages, the
one Conscientious, truthful man, the
other interruptions, and sharper; the
man of principle will be the more sue
cessful. We do not think that man
can ever be entirely true to principle
from mere considerations of self-ad-
vantage; but, nevertheless. if ones con-
duct were TO DO influenced by no other
and higher motives, the upright course
would always be found the polite one.
The harvest reaped by fraud and dis
honesty always proves temporary and
barren. Any young man who sets cut
in life well grounded in sound prin-
ciples, starts on the straight road to the
largest success.

Floating.

Men are drowned by throwing their
arms above water, the unbuoyant
weight of which depresses the head.
Other animals have neither motion nor
ability tn act in singular manner, and
therefore swim naturally. When a
man falls into deep water, he will con-
tinue there if he does not elevate his
hands, Ifhe moves his hand under the
water, in any way he pleases, his head
will rise so high as to give him free
liberty to breathe: and he will Use his
legs as in the act of walking (or rather
walking up stairs his shoulder will
rise above the water, so that he may

yet learned to swim in their youth, "a

A Primary Arab school.

One primary school in Cairo Is well
worth having peep into. You open
door in the street, and find a room
about ten feet square. Ii is below the
level Of the room, and lofty for its size.
A grated window, high up, gives a dim
light; but food of sunshine comes in
at the open door. and strikes full on the
bright crimson robes of the tdkeeh as
he sits on his cushion in the corner
At one end stands the only piece of fur
large harmonium done up in brown
holland, but turns out to be box con-
tanning the bones of saint. In front
of this curious piece of school-furniture
squat four-and-twenty little brown and
black boys One or two are disguised
as girl, to protect them from the evil
eye. All have dirty faces, and several
are suffering from Ophthalnia. They
sit in two rows, facing each other, and
simultaneously rock their bodies vio-
lently backward and forward as they
recite the alphabet or that verse of the
Koran which forms their days. task.
The children shout at the top of their
little cracked voices in their nasal tones
far from musical. The noise they con-
trive to make was astounding, consider.
ing how small they are. If they cease
their rocking and shrieking, even for a
moment the master brings down his
long palm cane upon their shaven skulls,
and they recommence with renewed
energy, and an even more violent see
saw. The sentence repeated does not
convey the slightest meaning to their
minds, nor is any attempt made to ex.
plain it.
Two or three older children are sit
ting besides the takeeh, getting lessons
in the formation OF the Arabic charac-
tiers. Their copy book is a piece of
bright tin, and they use a reed pen
called kaldm. The ink bottle is
sponge Saturated with brown fluid.
A long rowof tiny slippers, of every
form and color, lie neatly arranged at
the door; for the place where the bones
of saint are enshrined is holy ground,
and no one may soil the clean mating
of the floor with outside defilement. No
register is kept of the pupils or of their
days of attendance. Indeed, although
the fdkeeh can repeat the Koran off
book, it is highly probable he would
find some difficulty in counting up to
the number of his scholars. His ac-
quirements begin and end with tex
tual knowledge of the sacred book, and
unfortunately the wishes of his pupils
and the parents with regard to the edu-
cation of their children are bounded by
the same narrow limits.

completely dissipated by this discovery
of the tile-kilns (tuileries), from the
fact of whose existence the property
took its name.
1t is as far back as the thirteenth cen.
tury that the tile-kilns were first estab.
lished on this spot. then outside the
city walls AT the commencement OF
the sixteenth century the mother OF
Francis L., the Duchesse d'Angouleme,
having found the royal residence at the
Palais de Tournelles (on the site of the
present Place dec Vosges) somewhat
distasteful to her, resided at the house
of NJ. de Neuville, built on the sight OF
the present Palace of the Tuileries.
Charmed with the spot, Francis l. pur-
chased it, and in 1864 Catherine de Me-
dicis, having determined to abandon
the old Palace of the Tournelles,
charged Philibert de POrme with con-
structing for her another residence on
the sight of the 'Maison des Tuileries.
From this time, then, t:,e palace of the
Tuileries rose, stone by stone, and began
to take place III French history. There
as each monarch succeeded to the
throne, the court passed some portion
of their time. During the reign OF
Louis XIII. there existed in the garden
of the Tuiieries restaurant, kept by
one Renard, and there, during the diff
culties Of the civil war of the FroDde,
met great number of the principal
personages of the insurrectiOn.
Ii was in this same house occupied by
Renard, that, toward the end of the
year of 1910, the famous painter, Nicho-
las Pousin, ever in search of that re-
tirement and seclusion from the busy
and to him distasteful life of Paris, was
installed by the order of Louis Nil,
and there he remained till his final re-
turn to his favorite, and congenial
adopted fatherland, Italy.

Beware.

Great preachers have been defined as
men who can preach great sermons but
rarely DO it. We suppose they become
over-eonfident after few brilliant sue
cesses. Great swimmers sometimes
comes to an untOward end in their
favorite element. In fact, it is on the
side where our excellence is admitted
that we are in danger from defective
caution and excessive confidence. There
fore we say respectfully to all the great

great whips, great warriors, great
bankers-but who can enumerate the
great ?-to them We say, watch the side
on which you are the strongest.

Time and Money.

Many people take no care of their
money till they have come nearly to
the end of it; and Others do just the
same with their time. Their best days
they throw away-let them run like
sand through their fingers, as long as
they think they still have an almost
countless number of them to spend ;
but when they find their days flowing
rapidly away, so that at last they have
very few left, then they will at once
make a very wise use of them; but un-
luckily, they have by that time no
notion how to do it.
Envy, like fame, scars upward.
