4 Sound speech OF the Sending Issue.
Gen. Harrison, in speaking on the turn
to "A delegation Of visitors, used the follow
ing words:
The confessed free traders are very few
in this country. But English statesmen
and English newspapers confidently declare

crage reduction Of seven per cent that is
contemplated Laughter. Well, if that
were true and not IA very deceptive state
ment, as it really is, you might fairly ask
| whether this average reduction does not
| sacrifice some American industry or the
! wages OF our men aud women workers
You may also fairly ask to see the free list
which does not figure in this average Ap-
plausc and cries Of That's it Z"

protest of these refurmers that they are

Were You Ever Tilted?

Were you ever Tilted? Really, truly,
emphatically kicked over for another
fellow in the very hight OF your love
and alteration? If you ever were I
wish you would write me an account
OF it and tell NE how you felt. Of
course everybody knows that luxuri-
ously miserable sensation of having g.
row with the young lady and feeling
proud of yourself for not having re.
minded her how often you paid for
theater tickets and stood ice-cream
and oysters. Everybody knows the
delicious feeling Of fingIng an intense,
hurt, picking up your hat. bouncing
out into the cold night and rejecting
as you 60 home what pangs she will
feel when she finds you at the opera
next time with her deadliest and pref
test rival. Some people know the
peculiar sensation of having the dead.
Hest and prettiest rival refuse the in.
vitatioa. and the hopeless fasco OF
trying it on with some other and
palmer young woman. And anyway
most of us have experienced the hu-
initiating reaction of doing the hum
BILE explanation business. and being
forgiven for thinking we could get
away with the young woman. But l
never met a man who would stand
right up and say he had been thrown
clear ove the young woman's head.

jolly Old Won MoItke.

Won Moltke's face looks rs though
the natural skin had been replaced by
q stretch of ancient and yellow parch-
ment. The lines are iaEumerable
and they radiate regularly from the
corners of the mouth when he smiles
as ripples from q stone that is drop
ped through the surface of a placid
pool. The smiles OF the g~rizzled and
wrInkled old field marshal are frequent
enough, too, when he is abroad. The
small army of little children who are
taken to the war Office every day by
their nurses to see the old commander

inst about reached his prime when

None OF them has a more genial
winning. and child-like smile that the
head OF the greatest army IN the
world. Military critics assert that
not one OF the countless and mastery
documents on army affairs that Won
Moltke has given to the world during
his long life compares in force, clear
ness, cogency and power with MS re-
port OF the present year.-Berlin Let

Great Waterfalls.

According to a recent calculation.
the highest waterfalls in the world are
the three Krimbs Falls, in the Upper
Prinzgau; these falls, have a total
height OF 1.149 feet. The three falls
next in height are found in Scandina.
via-the Verne Foss, i'll Romsdal,
9S4 feet; the Vettis Foss. on the
Sogue Ford. $50 feet; the Rjuken
Foss, in Thelemarken, SOL feet.
With decrease in height OF 213 feet,
the three Vellno Falls, sol feet, near
Zerni 1.-THE birthplace OF Tacitus), fol-
low next in order, and they are sue
ceeded by the three Tessa Falls, in
the Val Formazza, 541 feet. The
Gastein Falls, in the Gastein
Valley, 400 feet, rank be-
tween the S~kjaggedal Foss, in the
Hardanger Fjord, 424 feet, and the
Boring Foss, in the same Ford. If
the width OF the falls is taken into
consideration the most imposing are
those OF the Victoria Falls OF the
Zambezi, which are 394 feet high,
with a width of 5000 feet. A long
way behind these falls come the
Niagara Falls, lit feet high and
1.96S feet WIDE.

How the Japanese sleep.

The japanese bed is simply a futon
spread upon the mating. They lie On
this and spread another futon over
them and rast their heads upon wood
en- pillows and are happy. A futon is
a thickly wadded cotton quilt, exact
ly like our comfortable, and @ very
nice arrangement such q bed is for the
housekeeper. The bed is easily made.
and in the morning tine futon is folded
and put away in a closet, and the
''chamber work. ia done. They wear
no night dresses, but as every person,
even IN the poorest and humblest STA
ton, takes a hot bath once, and in
the majority of cases twice, q day,
there is nothing uncleanly in the wear
ing OF the same dress at night which is
worn in the day. The one futon
spread upon the mating was rather
q hard bed for our unaccustomed
sides. sc we had six Or eight thickness
es put down, and instead of the lux
urious wooden pillow we had one
futon rolled and put at the head of
our alleged couch. Thus we made
really a comfortable bed. Then mos.
quito-nettines were brought in, and
the japanese have reduced this branch
of household comfort to a science.
The nets are as large as theroom, and
fastened by the corners to hooks in
each corner of the room, and when
II has gracefully and quickly crawl
ed under the edge, as boys in my day
used to crawl under the canvass Of q
circus tent, he is as comfortable and
secur as possible. Nets for children
are made on little frames and put
over the children wherever sleep over
takes them, and l have often and Oft
en- seen children in all the innocence of
unclothed nature in verandas, and
porches, and open front rooms Of
houses, covered by these MEETINGS,
sleeping the sweet sleep of Japanese
childhood. l believe children sleep
there better than they do in any 9TH
er land, for ] do not now recollect
that | ever heard a child cry at night
in all my travels In Japan, and there
were often many OF them at tine tea
houses where we stopped. l do not
generalize and say that children do
not cry at night in Japan, for that
would not be true, and beside might
give young American mothers an I'M
due desire to go there. 1 only say

Meohonism OF the Heart.

In the human subject the average
rapidity Of the cardiac pulsGtion Of an
adult male H. about seventy beats per
minute These beats are more fire.
quent as n rule in young children and
in women, and there are variations
within certain limits In particular
persons owing to peculiarities of or
ganization. Ii would not necessarily
be an abnormal sign TO find in some
particular individuals the habitual
frequency Of the hearts action from
sixty to sixty-five or from seventy-five
To eighty per minute. As a rule, the
hearts action is slower and more
powerful in fully developed and mus
cular organizations, and more rapid
and feebler in those OF slight form.
In animals, the range IL from
twenty-five To forty-fiye In the cold
blooded and fifty upward in the warm
blooded animals, except In the ease OF
a horse, which has very slow beat,
pulsations OF men and all animals
differ with the sea level also. The
work Of n healthy human heart has
been shown to equal the feat OF rails
ing tons hundredweight foot per
hour, or l2j tons In twenty-four hours.
The excess OF this work under alcohol
in varying quantities is often very
great. A curious calculation has been
made by DIR. Richardson, giving the
work Of the heart in mileage.
Presuming that the blood was
thrown out OF the heart at each pnlsa-
ton in the proportion OF 80 strokes
per minute, and at the assumed force
Of feet, the mileage Of the blood
through the body might be taken at
207 yards per minute, miles per
hour, l6s miles per day, 81. 800 miles
per year, or 5,lJO,ssO miles in life
time Of eighty-four years. The mum
Der of beats Of the heart In the same
long life would reach the grand total
OF 2,sG0, 77G,OC0.

THE BABES IN THE WOODS
"a NEW vERsIoN.)

The river is SILENT the river is still,
And there cometh no sound from the grass on
the hill,
No wall of the wild winds weeping.
The moon is all wrapped in dark, somoer
cloud.
And the ash in the forest is dropping and
bowed
Der the turf where the Babies are sleeping.
All day they have wandered in silence for
lorn,
Till, torn by the brier and pierced by lhe
thorn,
Their tender white limbs are a-bleeding;
And the night shuts them down in the forest
alone;
None list to their sObbing. none list TO their
moan;
No heart their deep sorrow needing.
80 Uncles, dear Uncles." they cry in their
pain,
Come back, o come back! we'll ne'er vex
you again,
And never do aught for your grieving;
We will work all day long and We'll never be
rude,
If you'll give us dear Uncles, but shelter and
food
In the dear little cot we are leavingw ~
So they pleaded and wept; but ah, nobody
heard.
Tho there answered the hutter .of many

Wrens robins and tom-tits and starlings;
And thev brought, yes each kind little bird
in his bill
Some punches of cherries and berries until
They had soothed them to rest, pretty dar-
lings!
Now, bright in the morning, dear little maid
To feed her young goats in the wild forest
strayed,
And there she did spy them a-sleeping;
She gave them some milk and she gave theln
some bread,
And she kissed the bright curls on each soft
golden head,
And strove thus to quiet their weeping!
And home then they went to her lone cottage
door,
All never TO wander and weep any more,
SO long as the sun it was shining;
And when after years their rich uncles were
dead,
Good fortune came back 10 lhe DaDles, 'tls
said;
For each cloud has its own silver lining
And then IN the woodlands they built for
their maid
A gay, pretty house in the dark forests shade,
And her life with rich comfort was laden;
A horse and a pig snd-O dearie me!
Chickens and turkeys and cOws-one-two-
three!
For naught was too good for their maiden!
