and successful tour of this country in 1871.
and was named rs above designated in

Quaker, though it does not fight, it Twill
hold thee uncomfortable" This eminent
authority (the statisiican Of the Health Of
iice) says also that spell Of dry weather
would stop the progress Of the disease, since
il is the moisture in the air that generates
the microbes. The first effect, and the one
which caused its christening. is a painful
stiffness Of the neck. from which il may be
inferred that it ilourished mostly in alleged
nllcial circles.

Stn:EinC Professionals.

In Germany there are three times as
many professional men as there is work
for them to do. One-third die, go into
other occupations, or leave the country.
Another third manage to drag out a half
starved existence, with no prospect but
the poor house in old age. The other
third succeed reasonably well, some bril-
iantly. The London Spectator remarks
that the same is true for England. In
America it is at least as bad. Time and
again our young men have been warned
that the professions are overcrowded,
tt-4ssess-thsy must go elsewhere If they
would make living. Go into SH99 r
keeping, say their advisers, learn a
trade, or go on farm. But there are
more things to sell now than people to
buy; the trades are SO full that the
unions permit only so many boys an
nually to go into them; farmers say:
Don't come into our ranks. There are
so many of us now, farm products are
away down to nothing. Keep away
from here. On the whole, if boys and
girls will have the good taste and good
sense not to be born for generation or
two, till the old stock gets worked off, it
will help solve the problem of living

Our Tcelandic DISCOVERIES.

Old Icelandic records positively de-
clare that in the Eleventh century Lief,
Norseman, sailed southwark and made
settlement that he named Vinland.
The Icelandic people to this day claim
that their ancestors discovered America
before Columbus.
Mr.. E. W. Horsford, of Cambridge,
Mass, has been for some years investi-
eating this subject. He has studied the
Icelandic sages and the Oldest maps and
records of European explorers He has
come to the conclusion that the Morse
mems claims are well grounded. In
New England he recognizes Vinland,
and in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia
other localities visited by Lief. He also
thinks that Cambridge itself is the site
of an ancient city called Norumbega,
and believes he has discovered some OF
it's ruined Notifications.

Green Goods and Green People.

The newspapers have done their best
to enlighten the stranger on the ways
that abound for taking him in, but some
1htlS nov i does seen. rs though there were
just as many fools as ever. A fellow
calling himself Charles Wilson, of Ho-
bokeu, n. j., has been practicing on the
innocent gullibles Of Alabama and Geor-
gia. chiefly, in a way to make angels
weep By means known to rogues, he
secured numbers of names Of country
people, and some not from the country,
anal then sent them circulars informing
them that for 81 he would send them
$40 worth Of count orfeit money, good
enough to deceive even the very elect. 1t
was quite surprising the number of vir-
tuous citizens who bit at the bait. The
scamp had even 6 wen the name of re-
liable Philadelphia firm for reference.
The honest but too confding citizens
who were not averse to increasing their
wealth by passing green goods on
their neighbors, sent their honest dollars
and got of course nothing, or a pack
age of old newspapers in return. Then
they really thought they had been badly
used, although the unprecedented verdict
of their fellow countrymen would be
that they were served right.

WHY He Succeeded,

Those who write inspiring and instruc-
tive books for young people will find a
new theme in the life of g. T. Babbitt,
the soap manufacturer. To grown peo-
pie he will be immortaliZed as the man
who first made Il decent soap, at amod-
crate cost. in America. For this alone
he is to be classed among the benefactors
of his country. He it was, too, who be-
gan the invention of that agricultural
machinery which has made America
famous the world over
No college bred lad was b. T. Babbitt
y farm boy with only the rudiments of
education, he learned the blacksmith
trade as soon as he was man grown. Here
he first found he had inventive genius,
and here lie learned that practical work
ing of iron and machinery which was
afterwards of incalculable value to him.
Everything that came to him, no mat
ter how insignificant, was an opportu-
nifty of which he made good use. This
was one secret of his success.
Another was that he never gave up.
Disappointment after disappointment
struck him. like blows in the face They
staggered him, but could not down him,
because he vas a man who could not be
downed. That will be good point to
emphasize with the boys and girls.
He had a fair start in 1913, when he
was 30 years old. Then, through the
dishonesty Of 4 man he trusted, he lost
every dollar he had. Nothing daunted,
he began again, trying harder than ever.
So many difficulties beset him that not
till he was 80 years old did he really be-
Sin to gather the fortune of S5,0G0,000
of which he died possessed Another
strong point in his character was his
kindly, trusting nature. This trait he
never lost, though deceived over and
again and subjected to heavy losses
from those he had trusted In spite
of the losses he continued to trust his
fellow men, and with it all he was not
prevented from laying up 100000
Another fact to note was his strong,
erect, healthy body. He got it from the
active, outdoor life of his boyhood.
This rugged health and strength stayed
with him almost till the very last, and
he was 50 years old when he died.

Ocean Tragedies of September.

The tragedy of the i'll fated steamer
Earnmoor, of the Earn line, is one that
might we'll figure in master sea story by
fiction writer. Twenty-Five men started
merrily out in the steamer Earnmoor,
from Philadelphia, about the 1st of Sep
tember Oct 81 seven weak, broken
men returned again to Philadelphia, all
that remained of the brave crew of the
Earnmoor. She was caught in the Sep
TENDER cyclone on the 5th of the month
and foundered. The captain and thir-
teen men went down with her. Eleven
took the lifeboat, hoistel their coats upon
an oar for a sail, and so rode the tremen-
dolis seas. Twenty days they were in
this open boat on the ocean.
I'll they ate during that time was a
flying fish and two small sea birds, de-
vourod raw. It seems incredible. Dur
ing the twenty days there was rain
three times, and the men squeezed the
fresh water out of the sail into their
mouths, and so quenched their thirst.
On the eleventh day the engineer and
mate sat alone in the stern of the boat.
A man approached them with wildness
in his eye.
I'VE have made up our minds to draw
lots" said he, "to see who shall be killed
and eaten to save the lives of the rest"
The engineer seized the mailman by the
throat and told him the two in the stern
of the boat would have nothing to do
with this foul deed. This daunted the
rest, and they were saved from adding
cannibalism to the tragediessof the tale.
But the mailman sprang overheard and
drowned himself. Three others died
from exposure. How any lived is the
marvel.
The same day that brought the Earn
moor survivors home, news came Of an
other sea tragedy. The Bristol steamer
Brooklyn City, on the 18th of September,
rescued the starving survivors of the
wrecked bark Baron Podester. They
had dashed. themselves to the bowsprit
and squeezed drops of rain water from
their clothing to stay Il thirst. ..-,---
But how many tragedy 'of the awful
September cyclone viii ne y be knownG
