Heecher and His Word Pictures.


If were required to sum up Beecher,
as he seemed to mo during the first
twenty years of his experience in Brook
lyn, as | grew up beneath his eye
from little boyhood to mans estate. l
should hesitate not one second in answer
ing, heartiness. He was hearty in every
thing he did; his aye meant aye, and his
nay meant nay. lie was peculiarly tena-
cious about his expressions, as, for in
stance, one time he described vision.
Standing, in apparent rapture, at the
very front of the platform, with his eyes
thrown far beyond the horizon, he spoke
of the goddess of Liberty with diamond
scepter in her hand.
When he came home that night | said:
Il had to laugh when you spoke about
the goddess of Liberty with diamond
scepter In her hand. Of course you
meant diamond pointed scepter, there is
no such thing as a diamond scepter." He
was lying ON hair cloch sofa in mothers
back parlor. but rising quickly, and rest
ing himself on one elbow, with tremen-
dous emphasis, he replied:
''Nonsensel / guess / know what ]
saw"
That of course led up to an interesting
discussion as to the Illustrations, pic
torial for which his public utterances
were noted. He lived in pictures, and
during the discussion he said:
why, certainly, see them. Else how
could describe them2' In other words,
his Imagination caught with nervous
hand upon the tail of fancy, and drawing
it to him, enabled him to describe, in
words, for the understanding of his hear
ers, that which to him was an apparent
reality-Joe Howard in Once q Week.

Tmo Slides Of the ouestlon.

One thousand one hundred and eighty
one young women and girls attended tho
free day and evening classes connected
with the Young Women's Christian as
sociation last year There are free classes
in stenography, type writing, bookkeep-
ing, commercial arithmetic, business
training, drawing. modelling and design
ing, retouching photo negatives, physical
culture, choir music and dressmaking.
Said lady interested in tho association
to the writer: Surely the women and
girls of New York ought to embrace these
advantages and mako the most Of them.
One bright looking young woman,
though perhaps NOT patient and persev-
ering enough, looked rather obviously at
the speaker SIS she remarked: But tho
market seems overstocked now with
stenographers, typewriters, bookEeepers;
in fact every department Of woman's
work seems crowded to overiowing. At
the Cooper Union Free School Of Tele-
graphy they will not take pupils. unless
some prominent man, or some person with
O good standing in the community, comes
forward and guarantees them positions.
Mark Twain" said the lady, with
his characteristic force, on the other
hand, expresses himself as follows: All
trades and occupations are cramped and
hindered for want of people TO do the
work, not for want of work to do When
people tell you the reverse they speak
that which is not true. If you desire to
test this you need only hunt up first
class editor. reporter, business manager,
foreman of shop, mechanic or artist in
any branch of industry. and try to hire
him You will find that he is already
hired It is the same with women as it
is with men. The best, the most skillful,
are always in demand. New York Press.

4 Very Convenient Word.

Speaking of writing letters reminds us
of one we saw day or two ago, in which
a new word was used, that Is to say, it
will be new to many of you, though it
has been employed in business corrc-
spondence for some time. A clause of the
letter ran thus: 1--WE hand you herewith
pomo for $40, which please place to our
credit, ETC." Now, what is pomof you
ask. That is simply a very convenient
contraction for post Office money order. !"

Ironworkers, giassworkers and others
are constantly exposed to a heat OF 400
or 800 degs. r.. and yet do not become
burned, and there can be little doubt that
the enormous radiation from heated rocks
and valleys, in addition 10 the direct rays
of the sun, make up an amount of heat
far greater than is ever experienced on
even n very sunny snow slope, and yet
one does not become sunburned No doubt
the surface of the snow reflects and dis
burses much heat, but certainly far less
than it receives. as heat rays are absorbed
and rendered latent by the snow melting
and evaporation. Experience fully cor
roborates this, for one may lie ON ones
back and freely expose the face for long
periods to the sun and yet remains un-
burned There must, therefore, be some
one factor in sunburn than heat alone.
In discussing the subject with Professor
Tyndall he added the very interesting and
significant fact that he was never more
burned OF snow than while experiment
ing with the electric light at the North
Foreland lighthouse, where there was no
heat sufficient to produce such an effect.
! am, aware that sometimes, in peculiar
conditions of the atmosphere, the direct
suns rays viii burn. l have met with
some singular instances where several
persons have been burned on the same
day, even in England, who had never pre-
viously suffered in that way. | am fur
ther aware that sometimes. not always,
in dead calm on ships deck, one may
be severely sunburned, and that in boat
ing the same may occasionally happen.
Masks and wells have long been used as
a protection on snow, and are more or less
successful, brown wells and glasses in my
experience being the most efficient. As
bearing up this l may mention that a
friend of mine, after an ascent on snow,
had an enormously swollen face, and OBJ
served that in the general swelling there
were many pits and depressions, and that
each pit corresponded to a freckle. The
irritating rays had been intercepted by
the brown color of the freckle.-Nature.

Concerning Eyesight.

The inhabitants Of mountainous dis.
tricts and of dry, elevated table lands may
have better sight than dwellers in low.
humid, and level regions, although just
the reverse may be the case. Among
European nations the Germans are gener-
ally supposed to have weak eyes, owing.
some imagine, to their excessive indul-
gence in tobacco, while others attribute
the supposed decay to the form Of type
used in their books, which requires closer
looking at than ours in reading.-Long-
