ON upon Che Troubled Waters.

Some years ago, says the Scientific
American, Spanish steamer, while
crossing the Bay of Biseay in severe
storm, gave Indications, by an I'M
usual noise at the stern, that there was
something wrong with the screw pro-
pellor or its shaft outside of the ship
that Is, III the open space between the
stern and rudder-posts where the screw
revolves. There was no dry dock in any
of the ports on the coast where the ship
could go to to be examined; and, on ar
rival at Vigo, it appeared as if there was
no alternative but to remove the cargo
rom the st ern and, by placing it for
ward, thus lift the screw propeller and
shaft TO the surface of the water. The
alternative, simple as it was, meant a
serious delay and great expense. Before
commencing toremove the cargo, another
consultation was held. 1t was then de-
cided to put the stern of the ship over a
bed of light colored sand; and, as the
water was very clear, there might be a
possibility of entertaining the extent or
cause of the mishap. For two days after
the vessel was SO placed, the wind caused
aTipple on the water, which effectually
prevented anything being seen. It was
then suggested by some enc on board to
try the use of oil on the surface of the
water round the stern. of the ship. The
effect was most satisfactory. The water
was becalmed rs if by magic, and it was
then seen that the wedge or key which
keeps the propeller IN its place on the
shaft had come partly out, and thus left
the screw loose on the shaft, which
caused the noise. By continuing the
use of oil for few hours, the wedge was
ultimately driven into its place and Sc
cured. Many days of detention and the
use of costly appliances and labor We're.
thus saved.

Development of Forest Trees.

There exists a great diversity among
trees in regard to their periods of devel-
op1nent; some have q brief rotation. The
coppice growths in Europeon forestry
are often utilized III periods of ten OF
fifteen years; in our own country, too,
we have many trees of short rotation,
and some of the most useful and prof.
table trees are of this character. DIR.
Wardner, of Ohio, in O paper on "FOr-
estry," says:
The black locust may be harvested
after it has grown from twenty to thirty
years.
The catalpa speciosa in the same
period will make good cross-ties and
fence posts.
The ailantus very soon attairs useful
size, and for certain purposes has been
highly commended both Ill this country
and in Europe. Professor @. S. Sar-
gent is advising its extensive plantation,
and some years ago it was spoken of as
the most promising tree for the arid
plains of the Southwest.
The forest of Scotch pine in Germany
are allowed sixty years to reach their
useful size for fuel and for timbers. $780,.
The birch there reaches its maturity
inabout half century,
i The willow used for charcoal needed
in the manufacture of gnnpowder may
be cut after growing twenty years or
even less.
Chestnut, in its second growth, is most
probably cut every twenty or twenty
five years. - o' 3 '-e5- 49, a.
The beautiful wood of the wild cherry
soon reachesa profitable size for many
purposes, though for saw logs and lunl-
Der the tree should be larger.

The French Paaraea.

France has no peerage officially recog-
nized, or baronetage, while the confer
ring of knighthood is a ceremony unin-
telhgible to even educated Frenchmen.
Several other fashions in which the
British sovereign delights to honor hez
lieges by making them " Privy Council
lors, " or of her Counsel learned in the
law" are wholly unknown 10 her neigh
bors. The "cross, which is star OF
five rays, and the various other grades
of the /" Legion of Honor" established
by Napoleon in 1902, are the only visi-
bic honors with which France rewards
her illustrious sons. Any citizsn can
obtain them none can bequeath them,
In the last days Of the Second Empire
the Legion numbered 10000. Within q
few months of the proclamation of the
third Republic the National Assembly

The Young Man that Wins.

a certain brutality of manners,
adopted from the English, is affected by
some of our young men. They answer
| harshly, affect not to see a lady to whom
they owe civilities, and try to become
Doors, even if they are not. This style
is seen much in men of mixed blood, per-
haps the half Germans, half French, half
English. lis very poor style and be-
trays the snob. 1t is not common
American fault, still it exists. It should
be frowned down; it is the fault of medi-
OGRE men. But, as Houssaye says:
'sYoung men are moderate nowadays,
even in their follies. They are afraid of
excess; they cut grooves for their voices
to run in. They are bourgeois, who
carefully avoid fatiguing, much more ex-
posing themselves. Haussaye does not
believe, evidently, that there are Sir
Philip Sidneys, admirable Crichtons,"
in these days, but he is wrong. A ship
wreck, battlefield, field day in Wall
street, brings them to the front. Men
are as noble rs ever; there are as many
heroes. The occasion finds them, and
in every Office, every merchants count
ing-room, in all the walks Of the profess
sions are the silent heroes. What q hero
Is the young doctor who works day and
night succoring the wounded, helping the
sick, tending the dying What a hero

is the young bank clerk, preserving his
honesty while there is temptation all
around him! What a hero the young
man doing honest work anywhere! He
shames the pouncet-box hero; he is the
Hotspur of the field of honor. Women
love these heroes. They are the men to

Remedr Tor Adrersitr.

The Lancet suggests that more &C
count ought to be taken than is taken
of the condition of health in estimating
the causes of success or failure In life
The habit of failing is formed in some
families, and seems to be transmitted by
inheritance; the same is the case with
constitutional peculiarities, and often
with certain morbid conditions. 1t
would be an interesting and profitable
study to examine how far what is called
il-Iuck or bad fortune is induced by such
peculiarities. Accepting this view, $50
far from its being strange that failure of
success should run in families it would
be inexplicable, contrary to every nat
ural law and precedent, if he did not do
So The force of character, strength of
will, clearness of mental vision, and
qualities of vigor, patience, andperseYer-,
ance, which constitute the secrets of sue
cess in life, are the several properties of
the physical organism, compounded as it
Is of body and. mind" A new cure is
suggested then, the ''health cure" as a
remedy for adversely, which would be
first personal, then hereditary in its aim,
aspects, and bearing. The subject is
worthy the attention of medical menand

The Collision Between Benton and
FOOtes tfHfsG E

Mrs. Swisshelm gives q graphic de-
scripton, in the Chicago Tribune, of the
scene between Senators Benton and
Foote, in April, 1850. The insult was
no sooner given by the latter than there
was scuf1s off to the right Of the
Speaker, and the scufAe soon came to be
perfect hurly-burly of Overturning
chairs, men springing over desks, crying
'Orderl orderP and above all the roar
of the lion, "Unhand mel Stand of,
gentlemen All eyes were turned in
that direction, and all members seemed
anxious to gain the spot where Benton
was roaring and struggling to get away
from as many men BIS could get bold OF
him, his coat turned back from his shoul-
ders, and he trying to leave in the hands
of his captors. In spite OF all they could
do he got into the space around the
seats, and made some progress toward
the place where the foe stood, on the
edge of the middle isle, near the door.
Nobody held Foote, or tried to hold him.
Indeed, he seemed to be forgotten, and
stood craning his neck 10 keep an eye on
the enemy, until it seemed as If Benton
would get away from the whole crowd
and through the fast filing space be-
tween them, leaving his coat behind him,
when the doughty little man started at
double quick down the isle toward the
Speakers desk, drawing out as he went
the largest sized pistol. AS he ran he
looked over his left shoulder and back
ward with pale face, and when two or
three feet from the railing turned parti-
ally, and stood with the pistol pointing
downward and his finger ON the trigger.
Foote must have stood ten minutes, If
not longer, almost unloticed, pistol in
hand, finger on trigger, weapon against
the outside of his leg, watching the
movement of the crowd He still stood
there, still held the pistol, when order
was restored. He then unlocked. it,
placed it an inside coat pocket, and stood
asking to make an explanation. In that
explanation he said: II saw the gentle
man coming, and advanced to the
Speakers desk" He had wantonly pro-
voked a quarrel and then advanced"
with his back to the foe 10 take position
behind the heaviest part of the rampant
which separated them. The case was
enc of many instances in which the in
science and bullying of the slave power
dtlailed before the spirit of freedom.
Mrs. Swisshelm was in the gallery at the
time, and described the scene for the
Tribune. 50

Sfantnn,s War Conduct.

81 was talking to General Mcmahon,
who was for some time the principal staff
officer of General Dix, about Secretary
Stanton's treatment of Alexander Steph-
ems and Postmaster General Reagan,

the Cincinnati Enquirer: "Stapton was
not very friendly TO General Dix, look
ing upon him as o possible Presidential
candidate, and he issued orders directly
to him, saving: You will proceed imme-
en- diately to Fort Warren, In Boston HaE-
Dor, and receive from the naval vessels

Il That officer had taken care Of Stephens
