WEBSTER ANC POLK.
The Liberalty of the Former and Plea

yunishness of the Latter.
In conversation few days since
with an old resident of Washington
who was proprietor of a large custom
and readv-made clothing establish
ment on Pennsylvania avenue when
James X. Polk was President, he said
of all the great men of that time whom
he knew or had business transactions
with, Polk was the most picayunsh.
and Webster the largest-hearted. One
day Webster came in to select cloth
for dress suit. Almost always beo-
gars, mostly women beggars, watched
him as he went in and out of hisdavor-
lite resorts on the avenue, and APP
preaching him with pitiful tales, never
failed to get money. if he had it. This
time he had hardly got inside the door
when in came poor old wom-
an, and with tears tricllino
down her wrinkled cheeks suppl
Gated for aims. Webster was more out
of humor than was his wont, and
examining his big hands down into his
piece of money and said: Here, take
this and be off with you, or I'll have
you arrested! It's all l have got for
YOU" After selecting the cloth for
his suit he put his hand in his pocket
to make the accustomed advance pay
ment Turning the pocket inside out
and looking at it. he said: IF didn't
give that woman a ten-dollar gold
piecei Well, it's all the same, Itll
do her more good than l could have
got out of it. Charge the whole
amountt' He rarely asker the price
of any thing, and never minated that
1T was exorbitant. as Polk always did.
OF course. knowing his weakness in
this direction, many tradespeople i'm
posed upon interchangeable Iri6-

n Pacific Group which Contains Tbou.
sands of Small Craters.
The Galapagos Islands are group
OF small isles lying directly under the
equator, about six hundred miles from
the coast of Ecuador. They were dis
covered by the Spanish, who named the
group from the numerous land tortoises
found on them, called galapagos in
Spanish. but the single islands have
received English names. The group
consists of some fifteen islands of yari-
Gus sizes, and number of small islets.
many of them mere rocks. All the
islands are of volcanic formation; in
deed the general shape of the islands
Is that OF volcano, with Il large central
dome, with wide and shallow center
on the top and cones of eruption on the
sides. There are about two thousand
OF these small craters on the group, but
the greater number are extinct. The
lower parts of the islands are very
arid, but their SUBMITS, which are
generally covered with clouds, re-
ceive from them moisture enough to
sustain quite a fourishing vegetation.
Inc climate of the islands is temperate,
which is remarkable considering their
position directly under the equator, and
IS due to the cool antarctic current.
which, having been detected by the
coast of South America. flows around
these islands. There are two seasons.
the wet and the dry, the former extend
ing from November to March. The
animals and vegetable products of these
islands are noteworthy, as among them
exist several species not to be found in
any other part of the globe. The vece-
tation of the lower parts of these island
hills is but scant, but near the tops
grasses and ferns abound, also large
cacti, and some cultivation has been
made by the inhabitants. In the sew
enteenth century the Galapagos Islands
were great rendezvous of the buc-
cancers that infested the South seas. |
but they had no permanent inhabitants |
TIL 1852, when party of exiles from
Ecuador was sent there. Two of the
islands only have small settlements,
containing perhaps two hundred in
habitants. The islands were once re-
garded as of some Importance because |
of the supply of turtles to be found |
there, but this supply has been so drawn
upon thrt it is now comparatively quite
small. The other animals are prin.
clpaily lizards and other reptiles, no
mammalia whatever being indigenous
to the islands. though cattle. pigs. and
goats have been introduced from the
main land. The Galapagos Islands be-
long politically to Ecuador. - Chicago

SUBSTANTIAL FOOD.
Cause of the Large Consumption of Fat
Meats by Hard-Working Men.

| Meats by Hard-Working Men.
well remember how the sensibl,
and thrifty New England people among
whom my boyhood was spent used tt
talk about "hearty victuals," and how
prevalent were the doctrines that %;
hard-worsling man wants real hearty
food, - land that children ought tc
have hearty food. but not too hearty
With these eminently orthodox tenets
the science of nutrition in its newest
developments is in fullest accord. But
there always used to be an unsatisfac.
tory vagueness about them. l never
could make out exactly what were
'hearty' foods and in just what their
heartiness consisted. 1t has since oc-
CURED to me that these words express
| one of the ideas which the unerring
sense and instinct of man have wrought
out of his long experience, but have
waited for science to put into clear and
definite form. The synonym with
which our science defines this idea is
energy. Hearty foods are those in
which there is IN abundance of poten-
tial energy.
The lumbermen in the Maine forests
work intensely in the cold and SHOWS
of winter and in the icy water in the
spring. To endure the severe labor
and cold, they must have food to yield
great deal of heat and strength.
Beans and fat pork are staple articles
of diet with them. and are used in very
ln l.
protein to make up for the wear and
tear of muscle, and they, and more
especially the pork, are very rich in
energy to be used for warmth and work
l can not vouch for the following,
which has just struck my eyein daily
paper, but, if it is true, the workmen
were sound in their physiology:
"A lot of wood-choppers who worked
for Mr.. s. in H stopped work
the other day, and sent spokesman to
their employer. who said that the men
were satisfied with their wages and
most other things, but did like your
fresh meat; that's too fancy. and hain't
got strength into it. Mr.. S. gave
them salt pork three times day, and
peace at once resumed its sway"
The use of oily and fatty foods in
arctic regions is explained by the great
potential energy of fat, a pound of
which is equal to over two pounds of
protein or starch. l have been greatly
surprised 10 see, on looking into the
matter, how commonly and largely the
fatter kinds of meat are used by men
engaged in very hard labor. Men in
training for athletic contests as oars
men and football teams, eat large
quantities of meat. l have often
queried why so much fat beef is used,
and especially why mutton is often
recommended in preference to beef for
training diet Both the beef and the
mutton are rich in protein, which
makes muscle. Mutton has the advan-
tage of containing more fat along with
the protein, and hence more potential
energy. Perhaps this is another case
in which experience has led to practice,
the real grounds for which have later
been explained by scientific research. -

INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT.
Why No Man Can Judge Fairly Who
Judges All by Him,elf

judges All by Himself
Independence of Judgment involves
a full knowledge and fair estimate
of more views than enc on the point
which is judged. No man can judge
independently who judges all by him
self. without hearing and carefully
considering what others have to saw
on the subject before his mind If
there are fairly, only two sides to a
question. and person hears one man
OH one side, and one man on the other
side, he must be of the same opinion
with one of those men in order
TO be absolutely independent in his
Judgment And if, again, he hears
only one mans argument, and that on
the opposite side from his own former
impressions, it may be higher proof
OF his Independence of Judgment for
him to surrender thas, impressions,
and adopt the view thus newly pre-
scented to him, than fer him to adhere
to those impressions, now that he sees
they are not we'll founded. Yet how
prone man is. who wants to have
credit for independence of judgment,
to adhere to his own earlier impress
sions, rather than to conform his
views TO the new light which
he has received from another
A judge on the bench, as %
rule. refuses to give final opinion on q
question submitted to him, until he has
heard arguments on both sides of that
question; i'll order that he may be
more independent in his Judgment,
even though agreeing with one of the
lawyers who has argued the case be-
fore him, than he could be by acting
on his own unaided impressions and
predictions. Real independence of
Judgment must at times, seem as
though it were a result of another's
personal influence; yet it is better to
be independent, even while seeming
not to be, than to seem to be independ-
ent without being sos. S. Times.
