He Is Born In His Cnsts.

The English gentleman is kindly and
friendly, but he is born in his caste and
he is conscious of it as any Brahmin,
and he acts according to its code; and
he feels toward servant not at all as a
Frenchman or an American feels who
has been brought up in a land of equal
ity. am not sure but that this caste is
strong factor in the keeping open Of
the breach between the Englishman and
the American-in SO far, at least, as it is
open; and that the gulf between the two
nationalities is very deep and not wide
would be denied by no one who had
known them both. We Americans may
say of the English, what the Scotch en-
gineer of the Cunarder said Of the cap
tain: "He's my friend, but dinna like
him. "-Brander Matthews Letter.

Some Amusing Dead-Letter Puzzles.
In the busy foreign-room of the dead
letter Office, the other day, they had a
postal-card with an amusing history. II
was dated "June O." last month, and was
addressed "Mr. Koerster, North of New
Oberlin, Russia" 1t was mailed at an
Ohio town, the postmaster of which
pitched it in the foreign mail bag and
sent it across the sea. 1t arrived promptly
in st. Petersburg all right, was duly ex-
amined, marked in pigeon English, sin
sufficient address," and returned to this
city, where it was taken in hand by the
ladies of the dead letter office. They in
ferred that, as it was posted in Ohio, il
was probably intended for the adjoining
town of Russia, SO they added 10" to
the card and sent it west. The import
ant message which this card had borne
upon its back across the ocean to Mus
covy and back again was: when you
come in please to bring me one and a
half bushels of potatoes"

A Remarlable Raft of Logs.

Unless legal entanglements prevent,
the New Brunswick newspapers say, the
most remarkable raft of logs ever put
together is about to leave st. John, New
Brunswick, for this city. 1t is cigar
shaped cylinder 400 feet long, with the
beam and draught Of a seagoing vessel,
and contains 100000 feet of logs. It's
value is $50, 600, 1t win be hauled by a
regular ocean steamer, which will follow
the cost pretty closely. The success of
the enterprise viii depend on the
weather, and storm would doubtless
cause a total loss. The object is to save
$4,000 duty, sawed timber being taxed,
while logs enter free.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

stoutness Sign Of Dissase--A HIan OF
Extraordinary Weight.
Fatness, or stoutness, is still loosely
mentioned as evidence of health, al
though everybody acquainted with the
laws OF hygiene knows that it is nothing
of the kind. you're getting fat" is a
common form of greeting intended to be
complimentary; but if it be true, it is
seldom SO regarded. Stout persons, par
tcularly women, are very sensitive on
the point, and would be glad to forget
it, not to be continually reminded of it.
They are but too well aware of the incon-
venience, awkwardness and discomfort Of
the condition to be pleased by any refer
ence thereto. Not only this, any excess
of flesh is sign of disease, if not disease
itself. 1t is altogether preferable, on
every account, to be thin rather than
fat, to have too little rather than have
too much avoirdupois. Stoutness, al
though not so called, Is unquestionably a
misfortune. Everybody that is stout
wishes to be otherwise, and many that
are stout are trying various ways to re-
duce themselves. A man of ordinary
height and build who weighs 200 pounds
generally weighs more than he ough to,
and is made conscious of it in divers
ways. There are exceptions; but
such is the rule. One of the extraordin-
airy exceptions, as reported, was the
noted Daniel Lambert. In youth he was
very strong, excelled in athletic exer-
cises, and gave no indications of corpu-
lence But, before 90 he began to in
crease rapidly In size, which he as
cribed to sedentary habits as keeper OF
the prison at Leicester. At 90, when he
weighed 44S pounds, he walked from
Woolwich to London with little fatigue.
He excited SO much curiosity that he de-
cided to exhibit himself, and he drew
crowds in the chief cities of England.
He was five feet eleven inches high,
measured nine feet four inches about the
body, more than three feet around the
leg, and weighed at his death, which oc-
Cured at SO, 700 pounds.
No doubt his immense bulk was due to
some organic disease, which an autopsy
would have disclosed. Pathology was
not nearly so well understood seventy
years ago as it is now. 1t is preposter.
GUS to suppose that any man of so extra
ordinary accumulation of flesh could
have been in good health. If a very
stout man were healthy, the fact of his
stoutness would, after while, be very
likely to cause some physical dis
order.-New York Commercial Adver
tiser.

There IS little strong color IN these vas.
sanctuaries, although not the altar
merely, but the walls and windows,
struggle with tho grayness and gloom.
Some of the old stained glass is very
restful to the eyes after the paltry stuff
they make to-day In Paris. Once In q
while one does, indeed, come upon a
painting also. which is not merely gaudi.
ness in color and dullness itself in execu-
ton. But the space is 80 immense that
these are spots Of brilliancy on the gen
eral darkness. On the endless floor the
people are dull-colored also--all save
one. This is the beadle, who in France
wears big cooked hat and most elabor-
ate military uniform and carries a sword
by his side. The beadle of Notre Dame
de Rouen Is a large, well-fed man, I'M
der 40, whose manner unites the stern
ness of Scipio Africanus with the de-
pertinent Of a Chesterfield. He is all
red and blue and gold, with "galoons" Of
white braid, feather in his hat, and the
mildness of assured power in his eye.
The charge may be harsh against an
officer of the church, but the beadle OF
the cathedral is sad flirt, and only a
promising family of English people can
lure him from tender talk with one or
more of those demure and well rounded
shop-ladies who have run into the
church till the shower is over. His bow
on leaving the victim Of his fascination
Is good; far better his appoach to the
English family; it can only be described
as noble insinuation. They are daz-
zled at the flaming apparition. The
light-haired miss is visibIy pleased at SO
much gallantry; papa, mamma and
brother follow dumbly, meekly in the
in the fiamingos wake, and the old char
woman and the lady of the counter,
from whom Lothario has torn himself,
are too used TO the scene to give it Gee
one thought. -Rouen Cor. New York

Meaninr of Colors of FLAGS.

Several of our readers wish to know
the meaning of the various colors dis
played on flags. The generally accepted
meaning of flags of single color is
white, as a token of peace; red, of de.
fiance; black is the sign of piracy, or q
black flag is hoisted as an indication that
no quarter will be given or taken; a vel
low flag denotes quarantine. The flags
first used were of single color only, bur
gradually, as new nations were forming
flags of two and more colors, and vari
GUS devices were designed. -Americar

The Bursting of the "poacoma,ser. J.


Commodore Stockton's "Peacemaker,"
which burst on board the United States
steamer Princeton, on the 2Sth of Febru-
airy, 1914, was of English manufacture.
1t was manufactured at the Mersey
works, of Yorkshire wrought iron,
brought to this country and subjected at
Sandy Hook TO what was deemed the
proper test. After the first firing, prep
arations were made to mount the gun.
In doing this crack was perceived OPP
posite the chamber, which induced Com
modore Stockton to have the breech
strengthened by putting bands around
it. These bands were represented as be-
ing 3 10 inches in thickness. With this
additional strength given to the defective
part Of the gun, the experiments We're
renewed, and the result was a decided
conviction upon the minds of all CON
nected with them that, in general, the
anticipations of Commodore Stockton
were perfectly realized; and, secondly,
that if gun of this construction should
yield to the force of the trial, it would
be by single opening, and not, as in
cast iron, violent disruption and scat
tering of the fragments. Unfortunately
this anticipation was not realized, and
the fragments killed several of the dis
tinguished spectators. Ben: Perley

TroY Cbiaf A baliaf xidalx nrazai,

Troy Chief: A belief widely prevails
that most of the worst epidemics among
stock are reported. As long as the
United States had the old-fashioned
hogs, such thing as hog cholera was
unknown; as long az she had the old
fashioned cattle, pleuro-preumonis, foot
snd-mouth disease, etc, were unh card
of; slong as she had the the old fash.
toned horses, epizootic had not become q
household word; as long she had the
old fashioned chickens, most of the fatal
poultry epidemics were undreamed of.
But people had to improve their stock
from foreign breeds: The PolanG-C China
hog, the Jersey, Alderney, Ayrshire, and
polled Angus cattle, the Norman, Pe-ch-
eron, and Clydesdale horses, the Shang-
hal, Brahmas and fifty other kinds Of
chickens, were in their turn all the rage.
Everyb body was crazy to improve their
stock, and they improved disease into it.
The same may be said of fruits, grains,
and vegetables. Disease has come with
improvement. The old kinds were ali
pretty good, in their day and generation;
but change" was wanted, and disease
is the result.
