The Decline OF Beauty.

Art, to reach its full development,
requires around the artist and within
him cultivation of beauty of which
the Greeks have given an example.
This people had, for the purity of form,
for the harmonious proportion of their
limbs, and for beautiful nudities, love
that went to the verge of alteration;
and beauty was, in their eyes, invested
with something sacred. This worship
of beauty was revived at the renas-
cence. In our days, on the other hand,
strength and beauty of body are not
the ideal. Many things seem 10 show
that too exclusive preoccupation with
pleasing forms, us we'll as with orna-
mcnts and decorations. are sign by
ditions of civilizations. With those
modern people who are still in an in
ferior grade of civilization, as with the
Arabs. the male sex itself displays
much coquetry, and seeks TO please es-
pecially with its strength and physical
beauty, its vesture. and its adornments.
Civilization gradually destroys these
primitive instincts, which have been,
however. according 10 Mr.. Darwin and
MIR. Spencer the germ of art. The
man of our days does not care whether
he has, under the convenient and un-
graceful vestments that hide him, d
well-developed torso and vigorous
muscles. Coquetry survives and will
doubtless continue to survive with wo-
men, but it too often tends to stray
from its purpose, which is to bring out
the beauty of its members. Women,
who ought, more than all other per-
sons, to endeavor to preserve pure and
correct forms. take q thousand devices
to hinder their bodies and the circula-
tion of their blood. So, not only the
ancient culture, but beauty itself. seems
to be falling into decadence. and the
principal objects of the arts is tending
to disappear. Popular Science Monthly

Through the courtesy of MIR. SlOss,
of the Alaska Commercial company,
we have been able to examine Prof.
Henry w. Elliott's observations on the
life history of the seal and sea-lion of
Alaskan waters. Prof. Elliott tells us
that the fur-seals which repair to the
islands of ST. Paul and ST. George, of
the Pribylov group, are in numbers al
most fabulous. They go to land to
shed fur and hair and to breed. The
seal life of that region is classified
under the head of fur-seal, sea-liou,
the hair-seal, and the walrus. OF the
true fur-seal, the professor goes so far
as to say that there is no other animal
known to man superior to this from q
purely physical point of view, and few
creatures exhibit SO high all order of
instinct, approaching even to intelli-
gence. A male is in his prime at six
or seven years, measures 81 to u feet
in length, and weighs at least 400
pounds, some reaching GOO pounds.
The comparatively small head is al

by self-absorption, and the bones show

ordinary brutal contests which man
can witness. The females arrive n few
weeks later. The body is covered with
two coats, the short, crisp oVerhair
concealing the soft, elastic fur In
contrast with that of the males the be-
havior of the females is described as of
Exceeding peace and dove-like

days, in the meantime speeding to dis

hunger. The head and eye are exceed
ingly beautiful; the expression is really
attractive. gentle, and intelligent. The
large, lustrous, blue black eyes are
humid and soft with the tenderest ex-
preston, while the small. well-formed
head is poised as gracefully on her
neck as can we'll be imagined. She is
the very picture of benignity and sat-
isfaction when she is perched upon
some convenient rock and has an op-
portunity to quietly fan herself. the
eyes half-closed. and the head thrown
back on her gently-swelling shoulders.
PROT Elliott declares that he never saw
any driving of the young pups into the
water by the old ones, in order to
teach them to swim, as certain authors
have positively affirmed. Tho pups
blunder into the water awkwardly, and
become the most expert swimmers
only after many discomfitures. .-San

A Word for the Cranks.

Cranks, my sonP says Bob Burdette.
The world is full of them. What would
we do were it not for the cranks? How
slowly the tired old world would move
did not the cranks keep it rushing along.
Columbus was crank on the subject
of American discovery and circumnayi-
CATION and at last he met the fate of
most cranks. was thrown into prison,
and died in poverty and disgrace.
Greatly venerated nowp Oh, yes, Tele-
machus, we usually esteem q. crank
most profoundly after we starve him
to death. Harvey was crank on
the subject of the circulation of the
blood; Calico was an astronomical
crank; Fulton was crank ON the SUBJ
ject of steam navigation; Morse was a
telegraph crank; all the old aboitionists
were cranks. The Pilgrim fathers
were cranks; John Bunyan was a
crank; any man who doesn't think as
you do, my son is q crank. And by
and by the crank you despise will have
his name in every mans mouth, and
half-completed monument to his
memory crumbling down in a dozen
cities, while nobody outside of your
native village will know that you ever
lived. Deal gently with the crank,
my boy. OF course some cranks are
crankier than others, but do you be
very slow to sneer ut man because
he knows only one thing and you can't
understand him. A crank, Telemachus,
is thing that turns something. it
makes the wheels go around, it insures
progress. True, it turns the same
wheel all the same time, and it can't
do anything else. but that's what keeps
the ship going ahead. The thing
that goes in for variety, versatility,
that changes its positions hundred
time day, that is no crank; that is
the weather-vane, my son. WhatP
You nevertheless thank heaven you are
not a crank? Don't do that, my son.
Maybe you couldn't be a crank, if you
would. Heaven is not very particular
when it wants weather-vane; almost
any man will do for that. But when
it wants crank. my boy, it looks
about very carefully for the best man
in tho community

Water Power in America.

The extraordinary development of
water power for economic purposes is
an American idea. In no other coun-
try has it been so extensively and so
successfully utilized. This will be ap-
parent by considering some of the riv-
ers that have been damned for the
benefit of mankind, and the force
which they furnished reduced to the
standard of horsepower: The Passaic
at Patterson, N. j., 1000 horse power;
the Merrimac at Lowell, 10000, the
Mohawk at Cohoes, IA, 900; the Con-
necticut at Holyoke, 1900; the Andro-
scoggin at Lewiston, 11.OO0; the Hou-
satonic at Canaan Falls, 5000; the
Mississippi at the Falls of St. Anthony,
$4,000; the Oswego at Oswego, 1900.
The sum total of these is 5000 horse
power, as estimated at a given point
ON each river. But this is used over
again on an average of not less than
three times. This would show larger
total of 225, 900 horse power. There
are also very many smaller streams in
all the hill sections of the country
which are utilized and may furnish,
used and unused, power, equal to the
last named total of 225. 900; thus CIV
ing grand total of 500, OOO horse pow
er, distributed over wide extent of
country and supplying, in their way,
the wants of 60, 600. 900 people.
But these are only the minor powers,
so to speak, of the hills and valleys.
Tho grand dominating power that
could absorb them all and still have
room to give hospitable refuge to four
times as MANY ram4ins tn ba noficnd
1t is the Niagara river. From data fur
nished by the United States Lake Sur
vey Bureau in 1875. it appears that the
average flow of the river above the
Falls is 10. OO0,O cubic feet per min
ute. Converting this into horse power
under head of 200 feet and we have q
grand aggregate of 100000 horse
power-a mighty force that would sup
ply the economic wants of 200, 900, 600

Cheap Living In Gotham.

For that matter. though. great
many things are very cheap in New
York. We hear much. for instance,
about high rents, but there are low
rents, too. / have seen three very
good rooms in well kept tenement
house, in good and convenient neigh
borhood, for $40 month. Four rooms
in house of the same kind can be had
for $15 month. In neighborhoods
not so desirable two good rooms can be
had for 81 or $8. There are hundreds
of cheap restaurants where a person Of
small means may get meal for 20 or
20 cents, and some Certainly not at
tractive, though) where he may do so
for 10 or Is cents. Housekeepers may
buy groceries as cheaply in New York
as any where in the country. Flour is
always at the bottom price. and it is so
with many other things needed in the
kitchen. Meat and butter are high,
yet, find in some towns~ and villages
sixty miles away, where living is sup
posed to be cheap. that prices are about
the same.
Fuel is costly. yet not more SO, on
the whole. than In some of the same
country places. In fact, coal is higher
at many points on the railroads which
bring millions of tons of coal to New
York than in New York itself. Dry
goods are cheaper, taking the line
through, than in any other city on the
continent. and the same is true of men 8
clothing, footwear, etc. Probably no
other city has as large percentage of
very costly living as New York, but it
has a great deal of very cheap living,
too. which is good of its kind. Every
now and then there is discussion in
some newspaper about the possibility
of a small family living on $40 week.
AS u matter of fact hundreds of small
families do live on $40 week. or even
less. and seem to be just as healthy as
families spending five or ten times as
much. Their chief drawback is that
they have to live in poor neighbor-
hoods.

In the Hammock.

A drive or stroll through the SUBJ
urbs will show how generally the ham
mock has come into use as an adjunct
of outdoor comfort. There is scarcely
a doOryard or a piazza of any prefen-
sion without one or more of these
swinging couches, Rightly placed and
hung, the hammock affords the very
luxury OF repose, and our people have
done well to borrow it from their sum-
mer neighbors, whose climate and
temperament are so conducive to the
cultivation of genius for repose."
But rightly hung does not mean sus-
pended in a cramped situation. with
both ends equally elevated. This is
the way to put up swing, but not q
hammock, unless it be intended simply
! to sit in. For reclining purposes tho
head should be higher than the feet
A good rule is to fasten the hook for the
head of the hammock six feet, three
inches from the ground or floor, and
the lower end three feet, three inches.
The distance between the two should
be eighteen or twenty feet though fif-
teen feet will answer. The longer
rope should be on tho bottom end, as
this makes swinging much easier and
more agreeable.
For outdoor use, when two trees are
not available, the hook for the head
may be fastened to the tree or the rope
tied to it, and post set in the ground
at the required distance at the lower
end. In this manner, shade can be i.
secured though TIE lounger be the
possessor of but single tree. Tho
fastenings and the rope should be
strong and secure beyond peradven-
ture; and if the hammock is to be used
by young children, it should be hung
very near to the ground, that the in
evitable tumbles and spillings may be
as harmless as possible. The closely
woven hammocks are best, as they
do not catch the buttons nor wear out
SO quickly.
For an enjoyable and healthful siesta,
or for summer reading and day dream
ing, this ''couch in the air" is prefera-
BILE to all others. For the purposes of
Irritation or courtship-if the latter
old-fashioned word be applicable to the
modern fashion of wooing-we have
not observed that any hints or direc-
tions are necessary. The hammock
lends itself to the graces and natural
wiles of woman, and adapts itself to
young mans fancies with facility that
suggests its origin in the land of Ian
guors and of love. Its utilitarian ends
are many, but it is nevertheless essen
tally thing OF beauty and LUXURY
