Abstemious Mem.

The most successful thinkers are u.s.
ually frugal in their habits OF eating
and drinking; yet this is not always
true. as in the cases Of Dickens and
Bayard Taylor; but these men died
long before their time. Careful living
would. without doubt, have enabled
them to extend their lives many years,
and TO give much ripper productions to
the world.
Sir Isaac Newton was a close student,
and lived to be more than f%our-score
years of age. He used to say that he
could not think clearly until five hours
had elapsed after q meal. The most
eminent men of our time are very care
full livers. A. T. Stewart, the merch-
ant prince of America, lived frugally,
and Jay Gould, the richest man on the
continent to-day, is said to DO the most
abstemious. Commodore Vanderbilt
was exemplary in this respect, as were
Horace Greeley, Abraham Lincoln,
Salmon P. Chase, Edward Everett, and
It is said That when Henry Ward
Beccher expects to make an unusual
effort in public he postpones a meal, II
it comes near the hour of his lecture,
and waits until he is rested afterward
before he eats anything; and he has
every prospect of being a hale old man.
We might mention Ralph Waldo EN-
erson and Bronson Alcott, who are
among the wisest men of their time,
and whose wisdom takes in tho very
important concern of caring for the
needs of the body in the very best
sense.
People cannot eat their loaf and keep
it, at the same time. They cannot
squander their vital force in high liv-
ing, and continue to give their best eff
fort to the world. A man ought to be
able to write his best after he is seven
ty, for then he has experienced enough
to show him how TO begin to live,
When we think of such men IS Hum
boldt, Longfellow and Whittier doing
their best work in the evening Of theil
lives. we feel conscious of a lack in the
abridged existence of Dickens, Poe anc
Byron. We feel satisfied when mer
die of old ago; but mourning memory
fingers long at the grave OF genius GU

of useful information and still less to
the discipline of mind. inasmuch as it
begets q habit OF careless indifference

Internal Machine Scares.

The Notwithstanding scare" has
had two c~uriously exact historical par
rallels. in one of which. however. the
comedy resulted somewhat traeically
for its originator. The first of these
was the work of the famous sixteenth
century satirist of France, Francis Rab-
elais. Having on one occasion run

while on a holiday excursion in tho
provinces, he made up several packets

ing troop of constables was conveyed
without the cost OF a penny back tc
Paris, where he was instantly recog-
nized, and his novel way of paying his
bill became the joke of tho season.

Life in High Attitudes.

The greatest hight TO which mer
have ever mounted is about five and a
half miles above the sea level. and the
'balloonists who ventnred upon that ex,
pertinent were very glad to come down,
Short as their stay in the upper regions
was they were almost frozen and al.
most ~suffocated. The cold SO benumbed
their hands that, had they not taken
the p~recaution to carry with them chem.
icals for the production of a little arti-
fetal heat, they would have become
helpless and lost their lives from ina
bility to pull a rope and let out the gas
of the air-ship. The air which they
brealhed was too thin to support life,
and they felt all the sensations of par
tial strangling or drowning. OF course
any labor at such a hight was impos-
sible.
The census shows that the elevation
at which men can live and work to ad-
vantage, and which they therefore gen.
orally choose, is a very low one. The
average hight Of the United States
above the sea level is about 2.60O feet,
but the mean elevation of tho popula-
ton is only about 700 feet A hight of
10, 900 is considerably less than two
miles, yet of all the SO, 900, 900 of peo-
plo in our country only 26.400 live at
that elevation.
Not only men. but other animals and
plants as well, find the struggle of TX
istencc harder as they rise higher. AS
plants and animals diminish in num-
Der, the means of supporting human
life rapidly decrease, so that the up
ward growth of the population, so to
speak. is checked long before the cold
becomes too severe TO be endured or
the air tool thin for breathing.
The bulk of the little band who
reached a hight of ten thousand feet
arc miners, and could be nothing else.
More than three-fourths of the whole
population choose to live at less than
one thousand feet, or considerably less
than one-iifth of a mile above the sea,
and only three per cent. of the inhabi-
tants make their homes at q hight of
two thousand feet If ir were possible
to walk upward from the earth as readi-
ly as upon its surface, an ordinary pc
destrian in half an hour could pass the
limit at which human life can be per-
manently maintained. and in a little
more than an hour he would reach q
point where it could not exist at all. II
the builders of Babel had ever scaled
the mountains beyond their plain Wis.,
ion not a miracle would have been ro-
CURED to convince them that their en-
tsrprise r's u great waste Of labor.

Mr.. G. H. Darwin has taken pains to

rontinents and mountains. and ne CON
fludes that either the materials Of the
earth have about the strength Of granite

I ieory that the earth must be solid

Aesthetic Style Of Dress

contrary. he has drawn it very mild.
The favorite colors arc peacock iluc in
n dull shade, sage-grcen, terracotta red.
and bright saffron color. Most of the
ladies had their hair cut. short. and
pulled out in wisps to look like the per-
sonages in medieval Examinations.
