The Methodical Aston Family.

Plainness and solidity mark whatever
belongs to the family. The houses, at
the corners of Thirty-third and Thirty
fourth streets and Fifth avenue, in which
John Jacob and William Aston have lived
for years, are simple to badness, are in
deed ugly without, though very comfort
able internally. But nowhere Is there
any sign Of ornament for the sake Of
ornament. Richness is blended with
something Of severity. The contempt
raneous passion for the aesthetic and
decorative is not visible.
The Astors give elaborate entertain
ments, mainly dinner parties, but give
them sparingly, and always see that they
are fully and correctly advertised In the
social columns of the newspapers. Even
festivity is business with the family,
who are methodical and considerate Of
cost in everything. They are trained to
be so from their infancy. Hence, i'm
pulse, sensibility, romance, sympathy,
whatever belongs to the emotional or
ideal, is, If 1t appear, sedulously repressed.
Mrs. John Jacob Aston, who recently
died, was devoted to the poor, attend
ing to their wants personally; but she
used in charity, am told, only the In
come from her marriage portion. Her
memory is widely and tenderly mourned
by the lowliest and neediest of the town,
to whom she was a constant help.-Paul
R. Cleveland in The Cosmopolitan.

What science and invention is doing
for the human race was tersely and
plainly presented. Note the following
Illustration:
Compare q galley, vessel propelled by
oars, with the modern Atlantic liner, and
first let us assume that prime movers are
non-existent and that the vessel is to be
propelled galley fashion. Take her length
as some 600 feet, and assume that place
be found for as many as 400 oars on each
side, each oar worked by three men, or
2, 400 men; and allow that six men under
these conditions could develop work equal
to one horse power; we should have 400
horse power. Double the number of men
and we should have 800 horse power, with
4,S00 men at work, and at least the
same number in reserve, if the journey is
to be carried on continuously. Contrast
the puny result thus obtained with the
10,5O0 horse power given forth by a
large prime mover Of the present day,
such a power requiring, on the above
mode of calculation, 117,0O0 men at
work and $4,000 men in reserve; and
these to be carried in vessel less than
900 feet in length. Even if it were pos
sible to carry this number Of men in such
vessel, by no conceivable means could
their power be utilized SO as to impart to
1t speed Of twenty knots an hour,
weighing as 1t would some 10000 tons
gross.
Prime motors can do what human
muscle can never accomplish. Take a
railway locomotive-600 horse power de-
veloped In a wagon which does not &C.
cupy fifty square yards of space, and
that flies at the rate of sixty miles an
hour with its heavy train. How weak
and puny human muscle toward attain
ing such results.-Sir Fred Brambun to

II one of those giants about which we

Take Time to Rest.

There are many ways to travel, but II
you desire to travel for pleasure and rest,
let me commend to you sailing yacht
as pleasant means of locomotion; and
if you want to get away from the worlds
giddy unrest, from cares of business and
from all the worries and petty annoy
ances that make life In the city daily
round of wearying toll, say to you go
and do as we are doing.
Cannot spare the time" you say7
All, well, then 60 on, my friend, and
worry and toll, and get worn and weary
and exhausted, and one day you will
"spare the time;" ay, as far as this
worlds work is concerned, you will spare
not only time, but eternity, too, and by
the time you should have died, If you had
lived a natural life, temperate in labor and
indulgent in rest, the world will be whirl-
ing around as smoothly as if you had
never been, and you will, long before,
have been in your grave and forgotten.
When the Lord made men he did not in
tend that they should be gray haired,
physical wrecks at 40, as so many are.
He doubtless intended that they should
not only work, but rest. j. Annoy

The Annapolis Naval Cadets.

The plebs, or youngsters, as they
are also called, are at once quartered ON
board large, old fashioned wooden
frigate, which always lies alongside the
dock, and does duty during the school
sessions as a gunnery ship. The vessel
becomes the residence Of the plebs during
the summer months; here they have
their first experience of sailor life, and
here, among other things, they first
acquire the art Of sleeping in hammock.
1t is truly an edifying sight to see these
lads on their first night struggling with
their hammocks.
The hammocks used in the navy, you
bear in mind are very unlike those in
which people swing under the trees in
the country. The navy hammocks are
made Of heavy canvas and are slung
from the beams Of the ship. They are
usually hung quite high from the deck,
so that it is not easy for a beginner to
climb into one with any degree of grace
even If he manages to get in at all.
Usually the novice struggles in from one
side and goes head over heels out at the
other-mattresses, pillows and bed clothes
all accompanying him. After two or
three unsuccessful attempts of this sort,
however, the greenest begins to improve,
and one or two weeks of practice is sufi-
Gent to make any one an adept in the
art.-St. Nicholas.

Boussingault spent ten years in South
America, making use Of ever opportu-
nifty to study the rrar1 ;,ic:iomena 10
which that region is 90 q, and rcaped
as the fruit Of his sojourn an abundant
harvest of observations in many depart
ments Of science. His work included
numerous mineral analyses; the dis
covery Of q new mineral, which he
named after one Of his teachers, Gay
IAlssite; analyses of the milk Of the 'cow
tree" of palm wax, of guanos, and of
the thermal waters of Venezuela; and
the discovery in the province of Antio-
quia Of bed Of platinum, metal which
had previously been known only as 1t
was disseminated in sands. He often
made his analyses Of minerals on horse
back, with the aid Of portable balance,
he carried Forth barometer slung over
his shoulder, with which he estimated
the height Of mountains. His methods
Of investigation were sometimes extraor-
dinarily ingenious.
In taking the temperature, for in
stance, in the crater of Parto, having
found his thermometer inadequate, he
let down some Of the tin foil wrappings
Of his chocolate cakes. The tin was
melted. The temperature was, therefore,
higher than the melting point Of that
metal, or more than 235 dogs. G. He
then let down a pistol ball. which was
not melted. The temperature was thus
found to be lower than the melting point
Of lead, or less than 882 degs. c., and
was, therefore, somewhere between the
two extremes. The guide who accom-
panied him on this adventure could not
conceal his nervousness at hearing the
subterranean roarings of the volcano,
and looking into the crater, asked,
"What If it should burst out2" "Then
we should be lost" replied Boussingault.
The guide answered, Gained by the cool
ness of his superior, That is what
think, too" In 1881 he accomplished
the ascent Of Chimborazo, which Hum
boldt had been obliged to give up, with
the loss Of one Of his instruments-and
recovered the instrument. Popular Sci
