A Warrington Application.

have found, in the course of my experience,
that there are very many people, even among
those who assume to be cultivated, who do not
know how to address letter. have had many
occasions, especially in official life, to test this
Summing up the results Of my experience in So
eial and official lief, must say that the ma
jOrity Of men are ignorant of what is due others
in this matter Of address,.
Nowadays many people assumng-of course
out of their own dense stupidty-that they
know names better than their owners, viii
adopt not the owners way of writing them but
their own. There is but one rule and it has no
exceptions always address a man as he gives
you his name. The Attorney General of the
United States, for instance writes his name
Benjamin Harris Brewster. Although many Of
the curbstOne brokers address him as "B
Brewster" and their example is followed by
Others who should know better, it is nothing
short OF impertnence to do so. Who would
think of putting Oliver Wendell Holmes down
as o. w. Holmes, or James Russell Lowell as j.
R. Lowell?
One of the first elements ofcultivation as we'll
as the proof Of it is recognition of what others
CT aim as due them.
Whilst you will find, especially among fe-
males, individuals who are ever watchful and
"ColoDel," ''Major," to some self-constituted
titularies and always write to and speak of s'ate
Gen" the Col, 'ahe Maj," yet these same will
address Prof. William Sumner, of Yale COLLEGE:
as w. Sumner esq, forgetting that title hon
Orably earned and hOnOrably worn In the
highest walk of cultured civilization is at least
quite as legitimate claim as titles often self
imposed, and more frequently gained by means
as dishonest as burglary.
Never address married lady by the title of
her husbands Mrs. DR.. Smith, Mrs. Col.
Jones or Mrs. Senator wilkins This is the ex-
IRENE of funkeyism, to say the least Of it. It is
never in good taste, because it Is senseless. A
woman, In marrying. assumes her husbands
name but never his title. Mrs. John Jones is an
anomaly as Mrs. DR.. John Jones. You might as
well tell me that the wife Of Thomas Adams,
esq, attorney at-law, should be addressed as
Mrs. Thomas Adams, esq, attorney -at-law In
England the term 'esquire''is as much of q title
as colonel or judge. Why, If you say Mrs Col.
or Mrs, Judge Simkins would you not say Mrs.
Henry Simkins, esquire.
And If Mrs. General HollOwbrain be proper.
why not Mrs. Sergeant or Mrs. Corporal Light
head? or Mrs. First Lieutenant or Mrs. Second
Leutenant-f0f each is distinct title. heard
of female who wrote to q friend. who adj
dressed her as Mrs. Lieutenant, "Please. after
this, direct to Mrs. First Lieutenant for nv

that "custom" never makes right Of what n
sheer folly. "Custom" Is very foolish and may
sanction anything from the grecian-bend to
crushed strawberry for mourning. It IL tho

ssDied OF the Fourth Of July.s'

The noise In New York yesterday was detest-
able. In the speech which Daniel Webster put
into the mouth Of John Adams, and which fur
nishes the youth OF America with q general idea
Of q Fourth Of July celebration, nothing Is said
about the Chinese cracker or the torpedo. These
inventions are Of . modern growth, and the
larger varieties Of the crackers which have come
into use of late years are great aR9ravations of
the " 0ld-fashioned Fourth Of July" Small
cannons and toy pistols were as rife as ever, and
real pistols were used % freely as II they had
never been prohibited. While q family was sit
ting on the veranda Of house up town yester-
day afternoon, . small conical bullet passed
within two or three feet Of child's head and
buried itself In the floor. There are perhaps
few grown-up celebrants Of the Fourth as reck-
less as the person who fired this shot, but q few
can do great deal Of mischief. The noise is
itself real evil. The constant succession of
unexpected detonations, great and small, has q
marked effect upon average nerves, especially
upon day 30 pr0strating BY Its temperature as
yesterday was and as the Fourth Of July Is ant
to be. Upon persons suffering from nervous
maladies the effect Is Of course much more So
rious, and the true record Of the fatal termina-
ton Ct more than one such case would be, ..Died

THE SUMS HEAT


From the New York independent
In the recent lecture on "Solar Physics" at
the Royal Institution, Sir William Siemens gives
his reasons for setting the temperature OF the
philosophers Of the sun at about 2, 5000 c., in
stead Of about 10 0O0o. where Rosetti and other
late investigators put 1t. He agrees, in this
lower estimate, with Wolfe, st. Clair, Deville %
and Sir William Thompson, and thinks the solar
temperature cannot much, at all. exceed that
Of the most powerful electric arcs. He recog-
nizes fully the fact that Temperature higher
than SOOOo C. would be absolutely conclusive
against his theory that the solar heat II due to
the recombination or burning Of compound
gases at the surface Of the sun. He bases his
estimate Of the solar temperature upon three
foundations First, the behavior Of . carbon rod
and small gas flame In the focus Of q reflector
exposed to thesun; second, on comparison be-
tween the spectra Of various lights, for instance
the Argand burner, and an incandescent lamp,
the electric arc, and the sun Itself. O. observed
by Langley on Mt. Whitney; third, upon expert
ments on the relation between temperature and
radiating power, made by means Of long pla-
nnum wire heated By an electric current.

who had not been In Berlin for many years.
Fraulein Won Sch9rf is the old lady TO whose

In 1S42 MIR. Charles Russell. q. 8. consul at
Laguna. Mexico, sent to Washington some frae-
ments of stone, which when put together, formed
large rectangular slab covered with glyphic
designs In bas-relief. These fragments had been
obtained at Palenque and the slab has been
identified as forming part OF group belong
ing to the "Temple Of the Cross ;" This
temple was SO called, because 1t contained three
large sculptered slabs, which, together formed
an immense cross. The fragments which Mr..
Russell sent compose the original Of the right
slab OF the group. The cross was made of three
separate slabs, and among the LOrllard cOllec-
ton are duplicates Of the middle slab, and that
which originally Joined it on the left. thus plac-
sentatiOn Of the famous group of the cross"
The Lorillard collection also contains fac
SMILES of other works of art discovered in the
ruins Of the Temple of the Cross" and like
wise specimens from the 'Temple of the Sun. ~
together with specimens gathered from other
parts OF the ruined and des0late city. The right
slab the original Of which is at the Smithsonian
Is covered with characters which Charnay thinks
doubtless reveal the significance of the cross and
the history of the temple or its founders. The
LETT slab still remains In the place where appar-
emily, those who erected the temple placed 1t.
The middle slab was torn from Its original place
by fanatic" says Charnay, who saw in Il
reproduction Of the Christian emblem miracu-
lousy employed by the ancient inhabitants OF
those palaces. and 1t was designed to ornament
the house Of rich widow In the village OF Pa

their name); but the authorities were aroused
BY this devastation and prohibited the removal
OF the stone" 1t was consequently left In the
wood, not far from the ruins where CharnAy

his attention to the precious piece. It was %

1t is but about sixty years ago that
the Atlantic Ocean was first crossed by
a steam vessel. This vessel was the
Savannah, Of 800 tons burthen. She
took twenty-six days to make the pas
sage to Liverpool This was not suf
fciently encouraging to warrant the
creation of an ocean steam fleet Sail
ing vessels could do almost as well, at
less expense, ard with no danger of
blowing up. In those days even COM
mercial and scientific people were op-
posed 20 change. Such an eminent
scientist as DR.. Dionysius Lardner de-
cared steam for ocean navigation to be
impracticable SO it was not until ten
years had elapsed that steamers were
tried with any considerable success.
Then it was in British waters. 1t led
to further trials and successes; and in
1888 the Sirius and the Great Western
trumpbantly crossed the ocean 1t
was now established that ocean steam
ers could be made both practicable and
profitable In 1910 the famous "Brit.
tania" made her first passage, and reg
ular traffic began, by the aid of large
subsidies from the British Government.
At first the steamers crossed every
or four weeks. After while they
multiplied SO as to make semi-monthly
trips. Now the Pacific ocean, as well
as the Atlantic, is alive with them.
1t is almost as common thing to cross
the ocean as to take journey by rail.
The tourist who has plenty of money
and year TO spare, can go around the
wogld with almost as much comfort as
he could enjoy in staying at home.
Forty years ago there began to go
around the world one of the most bene-
fcient agents for the alleviation of hu-
man misery that has ever been known.
1t started in an humble way; more
SO, indeed, than did the first ocean voy-
ayers Without subsidies from the
from the government, and without the
endorsement OF the learned or scientific
men of the day, it went entirely on its
own merits, and worked its way be-
