there is every reason for believing that he was

tainly never saw his supposed benefactress on

any notion Of it. they will rejoice that they were
not born to be married 400 years ago They
know very well that if they have attended to
their duty and trained up their parents in the
way that they should go, they may choose
for themselves. with or without discrmna-

yet, from one cause or another. the young in
their wilfulness and strength will not seldom
act. and the old in their impotence concede in
such sort that they might seem not to stop far
short OF it. 1t was otherwise in the last century.
Parental rigOr in those days could hold IFS own
as firmly as parish stocks; and there was but one
escape-the flight to Gretna Green, a sanctuary
known now only to history. The GOODNESS with
which it was sometimes resOrted to may be eX-

natural behavior" of the last, but it sometimes
leads to impromptu arrangements by young
people which may seem not to have been made
with sufficient sense Of their seriousness I
know of a proposal in this century by a Young
gentleman to still younger lady. who gave this
ready reply: ''Oh. yes, let us be married. 1t

TO Find the Capacity Of Circular Cistern.

10 tue EultOr OF EVENING STAR:
Mr. N. B., of Q street northwest, refers to nv
letter of the 18th, giving capacity of the areas
of roofs and square cisterns, and says he has q
circular cistern on his premises 8 feet in dame
ter by feet deep, and desires to know how
many gallons it will contain, and further says:
"Wiil c. l.. Freeman give rule and solution?"
The circumference is Is $40 feet. Area 500
Equal square inches side surface are 1850. The
rule to find the circumference of the circle is to
multiply the diameter by 3 1416, and the product
will be the circumference. Then multiply the
duct by 2S1. The quotient will be the number
of gallons. The soluti0n-Area, the diameter
of a cistern 8 feet, being 50 inches, being

the depth, gives 4S. 400. 10th inches Divided by

anu powerful enough, OUT unframed, attempt
feats for which training is indispensable, and,
being unprepared, they fail. The utiltarian pol
icy OF the age is gradually eliminating from the
educatiOnary system many Of the special pro-
cesses by which minds used to be developed.
This s, in part at least, why cases of sudden col
lapse are more numerous now than in years
gone by. 1t is not, as vanity suggests. that the
brain work of to-day is SO much greater than
that exacted from our predecessors, but we are
less prepared for it's performance. The treat
ment of this form of affection, the breakdown
from the worry Of work. must be preventive;
the sole remedy is the reversal of policy which
substitutes results for processes, knowledge for
education. 1t is serious cause Of discontinue
and sorrow in work that SO much of the brain
power expended is necessarily devoted to the
removal of eXtraneOus causes of worry. Labor
is SO fatal to life because it Is difficult to live.
The deadly peril of work I'm the midst of worry
must be confronted, because the disturbing
cause can only be got rid of by persistent labor.
This is the crux of the difficulty, and in the at
tempt to cure the evil the struggling mind finds
it's fate involved in a vicious circle of morbid re-
actions Nevertheless, it is the fact that work
in the teeth of worry is fraught with peril, and
whenever it can be avoided 1t should be, let the
sacrifice cost what 1t may.
The second deduction must be. that there is
no excuse for idleness in the pretence of fear of
sover-work." There is some reason to appre-
bend that the attention recently directed to this
alleged cause of mental unsoundness has not
been free from miSchivous influence on minds
only too ready to take refuge in any excuse for
inactivity. If the private asylums of the coun-
try were searched for victims of ''over-work.n
they would nearly all be found to have fallen a
prey to IVORY" or to that degeneracy which
results from lack Of purpose in life and steady
employment.
The bugbear Of ''over-work" is, it NAV be
feared, lettering parents and friends from en-
forcing the need Of sedulous industry on the
young. The pernicious system of Gram" slays
its thousands, because uneducated. undeyel-
oped. ineastic intellects are burdened and
strained with information adroitly deposited in
the memory, as an expert valet packs q port
manteau, with the articles likely to be first
wanted on the top. Desultory occupation. mere
