Power of Sea Breakers.

From experiments which were made
some time since at the Bell Rock and
Skerryvore lighthouses, ON the coast of
Scotland, it was found that, while the
force of the breakers on the side of the
German ocean may be taken at about
ton and half upon every square foot
of surface exposed to them, the Allan
tic breakers fall with double that
weight, or three tons to the square
foot; and thus q surface of only two
square yards sustains blow from a
heavy Atlantic breaker equal to about
fifty-four tons. In November, 1924, a
heavy gale blew, and blocks of lime
stone and granite, from two to five tons
in weight, were washed about like peb-
bles at the Plymouth breakwater.
About 800 tons of such blocks were
borne distance of 200 feet, and up the
inclined plane of the breakwater, car
ried over it, and scattered in various
directions. A block of limestone, seven
tons in weight. was in one place washed
n distance of 100 feet. Blocks of three
tons weight were torn away by single
blow of breaker, and hurled over into
the harbor; and one of two tons, strong.
ly trenailed down upon ietty, was
torn away by an overpowering breaker.

Is Disease q Friend to Life!

At the last anniversary meeting Of
the Medical Society of the District OF
Columbia, DR.. A. F. A. King read to a
crowded audience an essay entitled "The
Conservative Influence of Disease on
Producing Longevity"
With much force of argument and
analysis, he labored to prove that dis
ease was not the terrible enemy to man
kind that it had been painted Ey the
terrors of humanity, but in reality was
a true and benefcent friend. He quot
ed from the celebrated DR.. Austin Flint
that "the existence of disease, rightly
considered, was an inestimable boom"
He said that the disease was not in
itself better than health, but that it con-
tributed to promote longevity relatively
to circumstances. He cited morbifc
conditions known as gastritis, rheuma-
tism, hemorrhage, humps, and insisted,
with an earnestness that commanded
attention, and subtlety of logic that
inspired respect for his originality of
thought, that these diseases prevented
sudden death.
In gastritis, the patient naturally. re-

which the most skillful surgeon found to

to be just the thing needed, for the

disease was the real enemy, and mus
cular exertion was the most fatal thing
for affection of the heart. So with other

A Pleasant Passenger.

he resembled returned Californian,

ominous silence when he took his seat,
for somehow or other there was about
the man an air of unusual and desper-

blood on the ball of his full, hazel eye.
He confronted the man opposite him
and scrutinized him severely, and then

A Story of Steel Pens.

Few persons who use steel pens on
which is stamped "Gillott" have any
idea of the story of suffering, of indom-
table pluck and persistence which be-
long to the placing of that name on
that article.
A long depression in trade in En-
gland threw thousands of Sheffield me-
chanics out of work, among them Jo-
seph elliott, then 81 years of age.
He left the city with but shilling in
hispocket. Reaching Birmingham, he
went into an old inn and sat down,
upon wooden settle in the tap-room.
His last penny was spent for a roll. He
was weak, hungry, and i'll. He had not
friend in Birmingham; and there was
little chance that he would find work.
In his dependency he was tempted
to give Up and turn beggar or tramp.
Then a sudden fiery energy seized him.
He Brought his fist down on the table,
declaring to himself that he would try
and trust in God, come what would.
He found work that day in making belt
buckles, which were then fashionable.
AS soon as he had saved pound or
two he hired garnet in Bread street,
and there carried on work for himself,
bringing his taste and his knowledge of
tools into constant use, even when work
ing at handmade goods. This was the
secret of Gillott's success. Other work
men trudged on passively in the old
ruts. He was wide-awake, eager to i'm
prove his work, or to shorten the way Of
working.
He fell in love with pretty and SEN
sible girl named Mitchell, who with her
brothers was making steel pens. Each
pen was then clipped, punched and pol
ished by hand, and pens were sold con-
sequently at enormously high prices.
elliott at once brought his skill in
tools to bear on the matter, and soon
invented a machine which turned the
points out by thousands. in the time
that man would require to make one.
He married Miss Mitchell, and they car
ried on the manufacture together for
years.
On the morning of the marriage, the
industrious workman made q gross of
pens, and sold them for $50, to pay the
wedding fees. In his old age, having
reaped an immense fortune by his
shrewdness, honesty and industry, Mr..
elliott went again to the old inn, bought
the settle, and had the square on which
he sat that night sawed out and made
into chair, which he left as an heir
loom to his family, to remind them of
the secret of his success.

Diogenes' Tub a Wine-Jar.

Another harmless and familiar de-
fusion has been ruthlessly swept away
by the restless broom of scientific in
vestigation. The tub of Diogenes, so
graphically depicted by Busch in his
inimitable "Bilderbogen," has been
relegated to the dismal limbo of dis
credited M yths. Diogenes, so we are
sternly informed by German archmolo-
gists, never lived in tub at all. The
illustrious stole resided in a jar-a sort
of overgrown earthenware pitcher with
out handle. Careless translators, who
have recklessly rendered the Greek
word for "wine-jar" by the compare
tively-modern substantive "tub," are
responsible for the error in which hu-
manity has been SO unwittingly plunged
for ever so many hundreds of years.
Pliny assures his readers ancient and
modern-that tubs are of Gallo origin.
Diogenes can have known nothing
about them. The Greeks kept their
wine in jars, frequently bottomless, and
thrust into the soil of their cellar
floors, so that the liquor poured into
them might not dribble out through in
equalities in the lower rim of the am
phora. It was in one of these bottom
less pitchers that Diogenes took up his
abode. Placed upon its side, he slept
in it; set upright, he walked about in it,
There is monumental evidence extant
to the fact that he chose for his dwell
ing cracked and Clipped jar, unfit

prompted to this selection by his hatred
of anything like luxury or wastefulness.
In certain districts of Brazil, the abor-
igines formerly buried their dead in
jars exactly similar to Diogenes' earth
enware freehold; and these quaint cof-
fins are still not infrequently found,
containing mummifed bodies OF priests
and warriors, with their ornaments and
arms, under the giant trees on the

Anee,lote OF Tom COrWfn.

When quite young man he was
elected member of the General As
sembly of the State of Ohio. and early
in the session he brought in q bill for
the destruction of the public whipping

favor of the measure, to which an elder
ly member replied as follows: "Mr.
Speaker, the gentleman is not as old as
I am, and has not seen as much Of the
practical operation of the system of
punishment which he desires to abol-
ish. When I lived in Connecticut, if

him real good thrashing; and he al
ways cleared right out, and we never
saw anything more of him. It's the
best way of getting rid Of the rogues
that ever was tried, and without ex-
pense to the State" Mr.. Corwin, who
never failed to carry his point by a
joke, if the argument was against him,
only made the brief reply: "Mr. Speak
er, have been puzzled to account for
the vast emigration from Connecticut
to the West, but the gentleman last up
has explained it to my satisfaction" It
is almost needless to say that Mr..
Corwin's bill passed by an overwhelm-
ing majority.

Lincoln and Stanton.

In December, 1861, Mr.. Lincoln was
talking with Secretary Chase about
the action of our Government in the
Trent affair. The President was ask
ing if the Secretary had heard of any
opinions as to the Governments course
by prominent Democrats, when Mr..
Chase said he understood Mr.. Stanton,
who was then in Washington. shared
the opinion of the President and up
held the Governments course.
The President then asked Mr.. Chase
if he had ever heard how Mr.. Stanton
had abused him-the Presidential the
Mccormick case at Cincinnati. Mr..
Chase replied that he had not, and the
President told how Mr.. Stanton, being
retained on the same side as MIR. Lin
coin, declined to consult with him, say
ing he would have nothing to do with
the Slong-legged and long-armed ape.
But" said the President, as he con-
cluded the story, "ten Mr.. Stanton I
would like to see him."
Within few evening, Mr.. Stanton
called at the White House. The Presi-
dent told him he had heard that his
visitor was unfolding the legality and
policy of the Governments course. Mr..
Stanton replied at some length, giving
his reasons for the opinion he held.
The President asked him if he would
commit it to writing. Stanton prom
Used he would, and this interview ended
without any other subject than the
Trent affair being alluded to during the
whole of the evening.
It was within one or two evenings
afterward that Mr.. Stanton called with
the manuscript of his opinion as re-
quested. As he handed it to the Presi-
dent, the latter said: "Mr. Stanton,
there is about to be a change in my
Cabinet. VIII you take the place of
Secretary of WARP" Mr.. Stanton was
much surprised, but, before he left that
evening, he had accepted the position,
and during the next month, January,

Marriage Among the Australians.

In AUSTRALIA, as elsewhere, tie OF more
or less permanence and acknowledged
validity binds men to their partners.
Marriage, again, is surrounded, as among
civilized people, by laws "of forbidden
Degrees which are very curious, very
little understood, and which in many
ways resemble, while IN others they seem
to differ from, the laws of other undevel-
oped peoples. Wives are chiefly obtained
by exchange. The dominate males of
g1oup-father, eldest brother, or uncle
has the customary right of swapping away
the young woman of the group in ex-
change for other young women whom it
is lawful for him to marry. 1t is clear
that old men with families have the best
chance of getting more wives. while
young men width no sisters are likely to
remain bachelors. If this system, worked
itself out, each tribe would Tconsist
of a few overgrown harems and
set of wild bachelors. As it
happens, young men and women revolt
against the old, and voluntary Opponents
or marriage by capture are common. The
course of true love runs anything but
smooth. The lover is exposed to the Cor
deal OF spears" which are hurled at him
by the relatives of the lady. The run
away bride IS beaten, perhaps her feet
are speared, to prevent her from running
away again. If a young pair are cour-
ageous and true to each other, however,
the sympathy of the group usually comes
round to them, and they enter on peace
full married life. It has been said that
the old men give wives to the young,
who thus ''take Stock as the ancient
Irish said, and become, IN way, the
vassals of the old fellows. Society in
Australia is not sufficiently advanced for
it; but according to some authorities a
very Australian state of things prevails
in Rural Russia.

Edwin Forests Chiyalry.

The manly elements of Mr.. Forests
character made him at all times the
ready champion of the weak and de-
fenseless. He was especially chivalrous
in his conduct to women. This one
instance is sample: He was return
ing from New York after a successful
engagement in that city, and seated OPP
posite him in the car were two young
ladies. They we're travelling without
male escort. When the cars stopped at
Newark q person entered and took q
seat Immediately back of the ladies.
He was of the loud class, full of paste
jewelry, impudence and bad manners.
The latter was soon painfully apparent
with reference to the ladies. He in
dulged in offensive language, and
seemed to think the whole matter was
good joke. In q short time the Ian
guage and the conduct of the man and
the evident distress of the ladies arrest
ed the attention of Mr.. Forrest. He
left his seat and, facing the obnoxious
passenger, said:
will you please vacate your seat !?
Lou are OucuSlV6 w IutSo ldulcS.
Guess not" replied the man, with
the coarse and rude expression of a
bully and q ruffian; I have paid for
my ticket, and will st where I please"
But" answered Mr.. Forrest, and the
color mounted to his cheeks, "your
ticket does not give you the right to
insult ladies. That you have done, and
/ will give you five minutes to vacate
the seat and the car: If you prefer to
leave both by the window, remain, and
you can be accommodated
Mr.. Forrest then drew his watch from
his pocket and buttoned his coat. The
ruffian took another glance at the deter
mined eye and stalwart frame of his
opponent, and with murmured threats
of vengeance left the car. The ladies
had no further annoyance from him.
This is an authentic anecdote of one
whose whole life was, in many respects,
romance.

Advice To Professional Men.

To professional men, men of business,
and. indeed, all who are engaged in pur-
suits requiring more or less severe mental
work, coupled with more OF less con-
tinement, exercise is, of course, the con-
ditto sine qua non of the recreation to be
recommended. This fact is so obvious
that need not dwell upon it further
than to make one remark. This Is to
warn all such persons that feelings are
no safe guide as to the amount Of mus
cular exercise that is requisite for main
tanning full and sustained health. By
habitual neglect OF sufficient exercise the
system may, and does, accommodate itself
to such neglect; so that not only may
the desire tor exercise cease to be fair
measure of It's need, but positive ex-
haustlon may attend much less amount
of exercise than is necessary to long
continuance Of sound health. However
strong and well, therefore, man may
feel, notwithstanding his neglect of
exercise, he ought to remember that
he Is playing a most dangerous game,
and that sooner or later his sin Will
find him out-either in the form of dys-
pepsla, liver, kidney, or other disease,
which so surely creep upon the offender
against natures laws of health. Accord
ing to DR.. Parkes, the amount of exer-
else that healthy man ought to take
without fatigue is at least that which s
required for raising one hundred and fif-
ty foot-tons per diem. This, in more
walking, would, in the case of a man of
ordinary weight, be represented by a
walk of between eight and nine miles
along level ground, or one mile UP toll
erably steep hill; but it is desirable that
the requisite amount of exercise should
be obtained without throwing all the
work upon one set of muscles. For this
reason, walking ought to be varied with
riding, active games, and, where
to those who are fond of sport, consti-
tute the most perfect form Of recreative
exercise.

How He ''Set En- Up

Simply because the man who stands

Gratiot Avenue is faced, smll-
