The term american nervousness has
become almost proverbial, and it is q
popular belief that the nervous Temporal
ment is characteristic of the inhabitants
Of the United States; that all our affairs
are conducted OF the ''high pressure"

of the highest excitement. To this
alleged state of affairs is attributed the
numerous ''breakdowns'' and cases Of
prostration and insanity 80 fire.
quently reported. Like many other gen.
orally accepted beliefs, we think there is
but little actual foundation in fact for
such an idea.
The average American is well fed,
warmly clothed, and properly cared for
in every way. His average weight and
sizo are fully equal to those of his trans
atlantic brother, and the tall, sallow,
lean and excitablc individual supposed to
represent the typical American, like the
conventional Yankee or Irishman, is only
to be found between cover of novels or
in dramatic representations. Let any
ono make a mental review of his &C
quaintances, and we venture to predict
that the number of those who can fairly
be considered rs nervous will be very
small. We cannot come to II other
conclusion than That the Americans, as n
people, nave as strong nerves and as Wig
orous constitutions rs any nation on
earth.-Popular Science News.

Short Sermons for noys.

Most boys and girls do not like sermons;
they say they are OK long for their high
nesses. Perhaps they may like these
short sermons. They will give food to
think over, and must not be read too
hastily:
A Swedish boy fell out of the window
and was badly hurt, but, with clenched
lips, he kept back the cry Of pain. The
king, Gustavus Adolphus, who saw him
fall, prophesied that the boy would make
a man for an emergency. And so he did,
for he became the famous Gen. Bauer.
A boy used to crush the flowers to get
their color, and painted the white side Of
his fathers cottage in Tyrol with all sorts
of pictures, which the mountaineers
gazed at as wonderful. He was the
great artist Titan.
An old painter watched a little fellow
who amused himself making drawings Of
his pot and brushes, easel and stool, and
said: THAT boy will beat me one day"
SO he did, for he was Michael Angelo.
A German boy vas reading a blood
and thunder novel. Right in the midst
of it he said TO himself: 'Now, this will
never do. l get too much excited over
it. i can't study SO well after it. So
here goesl and he flung the book out into
h river. He was Fichte, the great
German philosopher.
Do you know what these little sermons
mean? Why, simply this: That in boy
hood and girlhood are shown the traits
for good or evil that make the man or
woman good or not Jewish Messenger.

Wellington said that Waterloo was won
on the cricket field of Elton. He referred
to the %gallantry of his officers, many of
whom had been trained by the games md
sports of that famous school. An illus.
tration of the effect Of such training in
developing a mans limbs and wind was
given ut lnkerman, one of the most stub
bornly fought battles of the Crimean war:
a young officer, who had learned at
Elton not much from books but n good
deal from its sports, had hot work on that
eventful night. His sergeant fell Mt his
side. Selling the dead mans rifle, he
fired it, emptied his w revolver, drove
his sword through n Russian officer, was
surrounded and made prisoner.
While going to the rear in charge of
two stalwart Russians, he looked at their
long coats and said to himself: They
can run"
Watching his opportunity, he knocked
II soldier heels over head, threw the
other by u wrestler's trick into the mud,
and took TO his heels. Before his guard
n II were on their legs and could fire he
had got over a good piece of ground.
A Russian lancer made at him; he ran
rs if leading an Elton foot race and cleared
good sized fence. The lancer cleared
it after him, and with lance fixed pressed
the fugitive hard.
a swollen brook, running fiercely,
barred his way. II was seventeen feet
wide, but the old Etonian had won the
long jump when at school, having
cleared nineteen feet over Chalvoy ditch.
He now jumped tho brook; the lancer
refused to follow, and the young officer
ran back into the English lines.
'Iiurrah for Etonl'' he shouted, as a
school fellow shook his hand-recalling
the school where he had learned to shoot,
TO fence, the art of boxing, the wrestling
dodge, the high jump, the long jump,
and the use of his legs.-Youth's Com

An employe of an oil company at Oil
City, Pa, says II was out in the oil
field today and saw n queer thing. AT
ono of the wells the gas wa led Off several
rods and burned at the end of n pipe.
The flame was close enough 10 the ground
TO make considerable warmth in the earth
for three or four yards around. Although
the ground was frozen hard outside of
this circle and covered with snow. the
warmth from tho gas flame had woke up
a hill Of black ants, that were lively as
crickets and hard at work in THEN cir
cumscribed locality as if it were midsum-
MGR. Occasionally some of them would
get outside Of their small patch of sum
mer land and run into the snow. 1t was
curious TO watch them back out of the
snow, shake it Off their feet, and scud
back for the inside of the warm belt. IT,

A certain prosperous farmer living in
Needmore school district, Cnsarcreek
township, Greene county, has q bunch of
forty-fvo hogs. Not long since, while
out admiring them, he discovered that
forty-four had short or bob tails and one
only one alone-had a long tail, and it
was the only tail in the lot. He then
began to wonder and to ponder how all
the rest ave this one have beer so unfor-
tunate, and why only one could escape
the calamity. But at last the mystery
was solved. He ono day saw this one
going around among the others and tax

Changing the narber,. Sign.

The BARRIERS arc getting tired of their
old rcd, white and blue poles that servo
for signs. The high toned fellows want
some way to distinguish u fashionable
shop from the Common place, and they
think the best way TO do this is to change
the colors on the pole. The new style
adopted is black and gold stripes, and Il
very elegant combination it is. 1t has
been adopted in Now York and is spread
ing. The BARRIERS held a convention in
Buffalo a few weeks ago, and this ques-
ton Of a change came up for discussion.
There were too many old timers present,
and they carried their point of sticking
TO the pole. However, before another
year the change will begin TO show itself;
for let q movement like that begin and it
win spread everywhere. There should
be a distinction of some kind between
shops, for there is the greatest difference
in the world in their character. The
rcd, white and blue sign looks cheap. In
fact, what reason is there for BARRIERS to
have n peculiar signi No other trade

According TO The Moscow Viedomosti
the banks of the Syr-Daria not moro than
twenty years ago were so thickly COW
cred with woods that the operations Of
the Russian armies were thereby consid-
erahly impeded. So great, however, has
been the destruction of timber in recent
years that there are now extensive areas
of from 5000 TO 5000 square miles
notably around Perovsk, the old Ak
Metchet fortress-in the greatest want,
not only of building material, but OF
ordinary brush firewOod. To remedy this
state of affairs several experienced for.

FISH UNDER THE ICE.
A Remarkable Degree of HardIhood-En

~ hlhAh btkHtt pA "a III
durancc of the Cod Family.
Passing down Fulton street recently, a
reporter saw n demonstration of the biz
zard and how some organisms manage to
weather it. Outside of n bird store a
large glass globe was exposed containing
n number of small carp. The water was
frozen solid to a depth of nearly two
inches, but beneath the clear ice the little
fishes disported themselves with evident
n The reporter descended the
basement steps in quest of information,
and entered a large, low ceiled room
lined on all sides with Gagged birds, chained
beasts and bottled tadpoles. Several
blooded black and ans nearly ~asphyxiated
themselves in their yearning desire TO
break the CALLING chain and make the
reporters acquaintance. The proprietor
came forward, and, in answer to n queS-
ton concerning the fish outside, said:
''We have lots of people asking us the
same question every day-how it is that
goldfish can exist in such a small body of
water, which is intensely cold and her
medically sealed by two inches of ice.
The fact is, the carp family evinces a re-
markable degree of hardihood. Those
fish in the globe could exist under the
same conditions for an indefinite period
of time. Their respiration is not percep-
tible, and the little oxygen they require
is stored in the water. AS for food, they
do not require any during the cold
weather, and they exist quite easily with
out nourishment in water that is scarcely
above freezing point"
'Do they not experience some physical
change during the winter months2n in

where fish had survived freezing9"
"Oh, yes. l have had globes of fish
outside when the water would freeze in
n solid mass and fairly entomb them.
The expansion Of the ice has frequently
burst the globes. Mr.. Blackford, the fish
commissioner in Fulton market, has had
some very peculiar cases of endurance
among the cod family. He received
some tom cod, packed in barrels, from
the Pacific coast. The whole consign-
ment was frozen, and the fish were
actually brittle, and could be easily
snapped in pieces. But, upon being cast
into n tank of water. they soon thawed
out, recovered the use of their organs,
and showed no further signs of having

There is n woman in Buffalo who has
no moro idea of time after G o'clock in
the evening than n castaway on the
ocean who has lost all reckoning. She
had been in the habit of sitting up nights
until n light in a window opposite her
own was extinguished. One night last
week some n happened to be sick in the
opposite house, and the light was left
burning all night. The watcher, having
some sewing to do, placed the sewing
machine in front of her window and
