A Modern Jacob.

The Philadelphia TelegrGph's Paris
letter says: l was recently told by a
young French gentleman (the son of
the project of La Rochelle) one of the
strangest romances of real life that ever
came to my knowledge. Some four
years ago q peasant boy who lived on
a farm near the town of Clermont-
Ferrand saw and fell in love with the
beautiful daughter of gentleman of
good fortune and position, he being at
that time seventeen years of age and
the young lady was just sixteen. The
new "Claude Melnotte was so madly
in love that he went straight to the
house of the young girls parents and de-
manded her hand in marriage. The
father treated the preposterous PROPOSE
tion with good-natured scorn. "Come
back when you have an income of $40,-
900 (200, 900 trancs)." was his answer,
land then we will see about it." The
infatuated youth took him at his word,
and for thwith set to work. Now one
ef the peculiarities of the town of Cler-
mont-Ferrand is n scarcity of water.
There is no river near it, 30 it relies
for its supply on springs and wells.
Under these circumstances spring ie
a valuable piece of property and COM
mands relatively high price. So the
young peasant lover set on for an ad-
jacent mountain, there to search for
hidden springs. My informant said that
he had honey y-combed the whole side of
the mountain with his works, construct
ing at one point tunnel over two
miles in length. All this was executed
with his own hands. He worked from
dawn to dark, lives upon potatoes OF
his own planting, and never spends 80
much as a sou upon a mug of beer.
Every Sunday he goes to church in the
town, after which he proceeds to the
house of his lady-love, to ask If she is
married or likely to be. On receiving
Il response in the negative he plods con-
tentedly homeward,, and starts out
afresh to his toll on the morrow. Thi.
life has continued now for full -four
years. Up to the present time he has
discovered three important springs
each of which he sod for $4,000, but
though now possessed of what man in
his condition of life is wealth, ht
abates none of the hardships of his ex.
i>tence. He has one idea, namely, Il
become the possessor of fortune suffi
cient to enable him to claim the hanC
of the object of his blind passion. Ye
no one who knows the parties evel
imagines that the young lady will eve
consent to marry him. She is nov
twenty years of age, and is pretty, re
fined and accomplished, while he i
coarse and unlettered, without ever
physical comeliness, as he is short an,
thick-set, with broad, stolid counter
ance. What will be the end OF thi
dream, I wonder? Will lie go mad O
break his heart the day he finds his be
loved cit her married or betrothed? o
will he die some day of privation an
overwork, with vision of success be
fore his eyes.

About the Teeth,

DR.. Meredith, in his lecture upon
"The Teeth says:
Enough has been spoken and written
at various times upon the abuses OF civ
ilized life, and especially OF refined So
ciety, to induce us to confess that the
constitution of man has deteriorated,
and that the teeth have shared in the de-
generation of the organism. One of the
most conclusive proofs of this is found
in the fact that scientific travellers visit
ing various nations in different parts of
the globe have reported that those peo-
pie who breathe pure atmosphere, who
drink pure water and eat unadulteratcd
food, who taKe healthfll exercise and
sufficient rest, who dress in manner
that favors free respiration and free
movement of the body, are wonderfully
free from those diseases that are 80 COM
mon among people of more civilized
nations, and possess teeth that are sell
dom, during long life, attacked by any
disease.
1t is reasonable assertion, then, that
| if we would eudeavor to initiate the
| healthful manner of living of these ma.
| tions- which we could do very nearly
and still retain all our claims to civili-
zation-if we would eat bread made oi
unbolted -four, and other things contain
ing liberal amount of phosphates, we
could make decided impression for the
better upon the teeth of the following
generation. If that generation would
pursue the same course, and so on, ii
would not be many years until the teett
would pc restored to their pristine
soundness Id perfection. But people
seldom bestow any thought on this sub
ject until they are forced to do SO by tn,
condition of their own and their chill
dren's mouths. At that time 1t is tor
teeth by anything that they ma,
do, and too little interest is fel
in the welfare of humanity sew
eral generations afterward to Undue
them to make any radical change il
their manner of living, or to leave tn
beaten track of favorite habits and Gus
toms.

The Baby,

The baby is q revolutionist. He ruth
lessly upsets established customs, breaks
in on confirmed habits, and sways de-
spotic command in his realm. There
can be no conservatism where there is a
baby. He is a radical of radicals, and
he seems TO have hydrophobic horror
Of anything and everything that savors
OF the old order of things. He is an in
definable compound of arrogance and
amiability; is amusing and exasperat-
ing; tyrannical and condescending
affable and dictatorial. When he sucks
his fists and protrudes his cheeks, OIL
torgets his autocratic state in the en-.
crossing effort to dine off his toes or the
house cats tail, he becomes an object
of curious and affectionate interest
When he learns to creep and takes il
into his small head 10 try the effect O
overturning a kettle of hot water or
himself, or an experimental plunge intc
the cistern, he excites rather more thar
mild solicitude, that is equaled only
| by the emotions he arouses when h
manages to get hold of the paterna
razor with the evident intention to tr,
its edge on his tongue. Such NANTES
tations OF eccentricity as a heels-over
head tumble downstairs, pulling tn
table-cloth off for the delight Of hearini
the china crash, mutilating your Sun
day coat with the newly q ound famil,
scissors, or making the souls of horse
car drivers quake by his squatter sover
eighty predictions in favor of tn
track, soon lose their terrors on tn
principle that familiarity breeds con
tempt. II there is any danger, near o
remote, into which he has not projecte,
himself before he reaches the age Of tw
years, he is of verify the far-fame,
"most wonderful baby in the world.
But it is the month-old baby to whom
(or which, the grown-up world pay
profoundest homage. The acutest OBJ
servers of human nature must fail O
anything like intelligent classification c
him. He is a law unto himself, inex
plicable, elusive, never of the sam
mind on two occasions, and a creatur
OF most doubtful issue in respect of hi
intentions about permitting a quie
night to pass. In short he is The Baby
the most helpless object in the universe
and the incarnation of an absolut
monarchy. With reference to every
thing else, animate or inanimate. th
terms big and little are merely relative
but the baby is a living defiance of this
and all other laws. He is at once u
smallest and the largest factor in II
human problem. His rule being
short duration its despotic character
correspondingly pronour ced. He
presumed to have originated the adm
about making hay while the sun shine
} and the huge winrows be piles up atte

Too Much SIpen.

The effects of too much sleep are not
less signal than those arising from its
privation. The whole nervous system
becomes blunted. 50 that the muscular
energy is enfeebled ard the sensations
and moral and intellectual manifestas
tions are obtundCd. All the bad effects
of inaction become developed. The
functions are exerted with less energy,
the digestion is torpid, the excretions
are diminished, while, in some in
s.ances. the secretion oftat accumulates
to an inordinate extent. The memory
is impaired, the powers Of imagination
are dormant. and the mind falls into a
kind OF hebetude, chiefly because the
functions of the intellect are not sufh.
GENTLY exerted when sleep is too pro-
| longed or too often repeated To sleep
much is not necessarily to be good
sleeper. Generally they are the poorest
sleepers who remain longest in bed
1. e., they awaken less refreshed than
| if the time of arising were earlier by an
hour or two. While it is true that chill
dren and young people require more
sleep than their elders, yet it should be
the care of parents that over-indulgence
be not permitted. Where the habit for
children is to lie in bed until eight or
nine O'Clock in the morning, the last
two hours at least, do not bring sound,
dreamless sleep where the hour for re-
firing is or 8 o'clock p. NJ, but are
spent in doing, and, in fact, such ex,
cess cannot fail to insure the harmful
results described by the authority
quoted. What is called laziness among
children is in very many cases disease.
and is largely due to this as well as the
other causes mentioned that undermine
the foundations of health. - Go'der

How to Write for the Papers.

The Boston Post hits the nail on the
head when it says: Communications
should be brief, and there are several
reasons for this. In the first place,
newspaper space is valuable. The
modern newspaper is never troubled
with the old-time complaint of needing
something to fill up" The editors
scalpel is constantly reeking from the
slaughter of live news matter and inter-
esting miscellany. Short communica-
tions are much more likely to find
readers than long ones are, and unless
they are to be read it is much better not
to publish them. More contributions can
be represented where the articles are
short than when they are long, and
one man has as strong claim upon the
columns as another, provided he fur
nishes as interesting matter. A short
article is usually more pithy and pointed
than a long one. A subject should
have many ramifcations to demand
more than ha,fa column in a newspaper
while all that can be saved even from
that limit up to certain point is apt tC
be an improvement. That prince o
journalists, the late Samuel Bowles
once apologized for long editorial
and gave as his excuse lack of time t,
write a short one. He expressed an i'm
portant truth in his usual epigrammati
| way.

Ancient Wonders,

Nineveh was fourteen miles long,
eight miles wide, and forty-six miles
around, with wall 100 feet high, and
thick enough for three chariots abreast.
Babylon was fifty miles within the
walls, which were seventy-fve feet
thick and 100 feet high. with 100 brazen
gates. The temple of Diana, at Ephe-
sus. was 42O feet to the support OF the
roof. 1t was 100 years in building.
The largest of the pyramids was 4Sl
feet in height, and 653 on the sides. The
base covered eleven acres. The stones
are about sixty feet in length, and the
layers are 2O8. 1t employed 350, 600 men
in building. The labyrinth of Egypt
contains 300 chambers and twelve halls.
Thebes, in Egypt. presents ruins
twenty-seven miles around, once con-
tanning $50 900 citizens and 100000
slaves. The temple of Delptos was SC
rich in donations that it was plundered
ofS59, 900, 900; the Emperor Nero carried
away from it two hundred statues
The walls of Rome were thirteen miles
around.

A Red Rose.

Oh, rose, my red, red rosei
" here has thy beauty flcdf
Low in the west is a sea Of fire,
But tho great white moon scars high and
higher,
As my garden walks tread.
Thy white-roee sisters CLEAN
Like stars in q derkening sky
They bond their brows with a sudden thrill
To the kiss OF the night dewes, Roft and still,
When the warm south wind floats by.
And the stately lilies stand
Fair in the silvery light,
Like sanity vestals, pale in prayer,
Their pure breath sanctifes the air,
AS it fragrance fills the night.
But oh, my red, red rose!
Ny rose with the crimson lips!
so bright thou vert in the sunny morn,
Yet now thou art hiding all forlorn,
And thy soul is in drear eclipse!
Dost thou morn thy lover dead
Thy lover, the lordly sum-
Didst thou see him sink in the golden west,
With pomp OF banners above his restf
He shall rise again, sweet one!
He shall rise with his eye OF fire;
And thy passionate heart shall beat,
And thy radiant bushes burn again,
With the joy OF rapture after pain,
At the coming oil his feet!

More Sunshine.

The world wants more sunshine in its
disposition. in its business, in its chari-
ties, in its theology. For ten thousand
OF the aches and pains, and irritations of
men and women, we recommend sun
shine. 1t soothes better than morphine.
1t stimulates better than champagne.
1t is the best plaster for a wound. The
good Samaritan poured out into the
fallen travellers cash more of this than
of oil. Florence Nightingale used it on
the Crimean battle-feids. Take it into
all the alleys, on board all the ships, by
all the sick beds. Not phial full, not
a cup full, but a soul full. 1t is good
for spleen, for liver complaint, for neu.
ralgia, for rheumatism, for failing for
tunes or melancholy .-Faith and Works.

On the Riffs.

On the Riffs.
Where the river from the shadow
OF the waving spruces creeps,
And then hurried through the meadow
Where the cascade broadly sweeps,
Vapors lit from the rift
Where the trout his vigil keeps.
oh, what music, as we listen
To the rivers splash and roar;
How the broken waters glisten
As they dash against the shore,
And the trees in the breeze
Heavens music outward pour.
Mossy boulders rising yonder
With beard of snowy foam,
Where the maddened waters thunder
Ger the river monarch's home,
Where in pride he doth hide
Where an angler dares to come.
Where the silver eddy sleeping,
just beside the roaring flood,
Mark you Jeweled beauty leaping
From the tide in sportive mood,
And the rash sportive plash
Gives start to laggard blood
But waste the time in thinking,
Morning clouds begin to lift,
At the tount OF nature drinking,
forget the joyous rift.
Drop the creel, spring the reel,
Throw the fly with motion swift.
On the leaves OF recollection
have painted many scenes,
And turn them with affection
When lilies work day intervenes.
When the brain throbs with pain,
Then their sweets my fancy CLEANS.
Then, oh heart, in rapture knoelIng,
Lay this picture up in store,
Silver rilt and sunshine stealing,
Signing trees and rivers roar;
Make il fast, that it last
Till earth's ache and pain be DER.

How Gibralter was CAPTURED.

1t was a sudden inspiration which in
duced Sir Gorge Rookie, as he lay, with
a combined fleet of British and Dutch
ships, inactive off Taugler, to make a
dash at the great Spanish fortress on
the opposite side of the straits. Reports,
which proved well founded, said that
Gibralter was but weakly garrisoned,
and that its defenses were wholly in-
adequate to protect it from vigorous
attack; a bold and sudden descent
might wrest it therefore from Spanish
hands. Accordingly, upon the first OF
August, l704, the feet appeared in the
render. A certain Don Diego de Salinas
was its governor, and he had at his dis
posal just eighty regular soldiers, to
which, by great exertions, he added a
few hundred volunteers and militia.
With these all Harmed and ill-found
as they were, and with but few guns
and small stores of powder and shot, he
made what show he could; but the
British blue-j jackets and marines landing
at three points-at the Old and New
moles, and at bastion now known as
Jumpers from the naval captain of that
name who here led the assault-carried
| all before them. AS q last resource the
nuns of Santa Clara, followed by q
crowd of certified women and children,
went in procession to the shrine OF the
Virgin de Europe, to intercede fol
divine interposition but they fell into
the hands of the enemy, who had by
this time made themselves m asters o.
the New mole. Successful also at the
other points, Don Diego had no alter
native but to capitulate and haul dowr
his flag. The captors then took forma
possession of the place in the name o
Prince George of Hesse, who wa
present, and who claimed the throne O
Spain. But it was the union jack which
was hoisted, and which, has continued
to wave over the rock of Gibralter from
that day to this.

Professor George L. Vose. OF BowdoiD
college, Maine, who is regarded as an
authority upon such subjects, says that
over 200 railroad bridges have fallen
within the past ten years. He attributes
these "accidents either to the selec-
ton of bad material, faulty. construc-
tion, and imperfect supervision, or all
of these causes com bined.
