THE MAN OF DEEP PLOTS.

Wilkie Collins was the last of his school
to borrow a word from another art. It was
school in which the plot was the all in all;
1t was preceded by a school in which high
wrought portrayal Of the feelings was the
all in all, and has been followed without an
interval Of gradual change by a school Of
peculiar realism. Plot, which was every
thing in the '50s, IS nothing now: the evolu-
tion of a character may, perhaps, be called
the leading idea now, but for the most part
novel Of today is in the natnre Of con-
densed history. All this must be taken with
the reserve that Stevenson and the erratic
feminine writers may indicate the beginning
of school in which gorgeous intensity is the

Little Ones in Spectacles.

THE PREVALENCE OF NEAR SIGHT DUE TO CARE
LEssNEss WITH CHILDREN.
From the Boston Herald
The number of children who wear spectacles
has become serious subject of remark. That
a radical wrong exists somewhere, when child
rem only four years of age are thus hampered
for life, is only too palpable but whose the
blame, and what the remedy for this evidently
increasing affection? Are future generations
10 be sans eyes as well as sans teeth? The de-
iects III vision necessitating spectacles are in
herlted, or infants scarcely able to read would
not be hurried to opticians and fitted to glasses
that must bother them while they live. Oculists
give many sensible reasons for this weakness of
the optic nerves. But no one impresses the
necessity of care in the management of eyes
until the damage is done, and then it is too late
Young mothers who cover the baby's face
with VEIL or who wear spotted lace against
their own eyes, and who allow their children to
read by insufficient light, are laying up trouble
Tor themselves, though oculist and optician will
be better off for their criminal ignorance. As
to the schoolrooms where children spend so
many hours of the day. do parents ever ask or
know how they are lighted. and whether the
scholars face windows, and whether they are
obliged to strain their eyes by blackboard exer-
erclses in half lights. little precaution in the
use OF the eyes. and some knowledge on the
subject of improper lighting, would be pound
OF cure IN this matter of spectacles.

CurrantS Are Small Cranes.

A COMMON ERROR REGARDING ONE OF THE IN
GRADIENTS OF FRUIT CAKE.
From Harper's Bazaar.
frequent error among those interested in
cookery Is to suppose that the imported articles
called currants, used in fruit cakes, mince pies,
plum buildings, buns, and the like, are fruit
resembling our own black or red currants dried
In reality these dried fruits which we call cur
rants are just as much raisins as anything that
is offered under that specific name, being only
dried grape, although of an exceedingly
small variety, each grape no bigger than a
common pea, and each bunch but two or three
inches long. These little grape punches are
picked and dried in the sun. and are so full of
saccharine matter that the exuding sugar crys-
talllzes them into compact form of sufficient
hardness to require considerable strength to
open the mass and prepare the fruit for paking,
they being then second time compressed this
time by means of treading with the feet. which
process perhaps account for a good deal of
the dirt and gravel usually to be found packed
with them. The grapes grow all through the
Islands and adjacent regions of the Grecian
Archipelago, and being exported originally
from Corinth. they were called at first corinths,
which word was gradually corrupted into cur
rants. TIL the primitive plant and its fruit
forgotten in the remembrance of the little
round berry of our own gardens, which might
be dried from now till doomsday without de-
yeloping enough sugar to melt them together
as We find the Zante currants melted.

Died with His Secret Untold.

AN OLD MIsER BREATHEs HIS LAST WHILE DIS
CLOSING THE HIDING PLACE OF HIS MONEY.
Samuel Humbert, who was one of the victims
of the desperate gang who raised the recent
reign of terror, died at McClellandtown, Pa,
last night. He was eighty years old, has been
a miser, and is supposed to have had large
sum Of money saved and stored away some
where. being distrustful of banks. This fact
led to his capture in his house near Fairchance,
one night last summer, by the robber gang,
who burned his feet with candles and held him
over fire, using every device conceivable to
force him to disclose where his wealth was
hidden, but in vain.
The old man never fully recovered from the
shock thus received, and heart disease was the
cause of his death. Rather than touch his
hoard he allowed his house at Farchance to be
sold by the sheriff month ago. He knew
death was staring him in the face for the past
week, and several times was on the point of
disclosing its hiding place, once going SO far as
to say it was put away in box, but became
choked up and could not speak further. When
he was gasping in the throes of death last night
he tried to tell his attendant but had only
gasped, Bob. the box is" when he Was seized
with . choking fit and died. His relatives are

Lumber and Ice.

NAME INDUSTRIES HURT By THE WEATHER
The stock of logs in blaine this year is much
less than an average. Logging operations be-
gan late on account of the heavy autumn rains
and have been curtailed during the winter by
frequent thaws, and finally terminated early by
reason Of an early spring. On the Penobscot
river the loss will be partly made up by logs
carried over The cut ON the Kennebec will
be barely l00,0O0,000 feet. which is $4,000 600
less than last year aud $4,000. 900 less than the
year before. The most important factor vet to
oe determined IN the stock for use this season
Is the nature of the coming drive. There is
hstle snow in the woods, and that little is being
gradually melted without serving any driving
purpose.
An Augusta ice operator gives the following
ogues as to the stock Of ice in the state: Penob-

The Deadly Overcoat.

A MEDICAL AUTHORITY DOES NOT APPROVE OF
OUR THICK listers.
From the Lance
We protest against the indiscriminate use of
the thick and heavy overcoat We would rather
see men in fairly robust condition, especially if
young, clad warmly next the skin, and wearing
either light top coat or none at all. There
can be no doubt that the habitual use of great
coats is indirectly accountable for the chills
which they are intended to prevent. Were the
overcoat worn continuously it might attain its
object Its intermittent use. even when ample
underclothing is worn, affords no solid guaran-
tee of safety, but rather the reverse.
The man of sedentary habits has especial
need to remember this. He energies daily
from a warm breakfast-room clothed in his
ordinary winter garments, with probably
WOODEN underwear, and over all the heavy
ulster or top coat. After short walk he finds
that the sense of warmth he began with is
more than maintained. He arrives at his office
or place of business and off goes his overcoat
though the air OF the newly opened room is as
cold as that without and draughty in addition
During the day perhaps he travels to and from
adjacent business houses wearing only his
house clothing. The overcoat is laid aside till
closing time reminds him Of his journey home
The frequent result is that somehow. be-
tween the hours of his departure and return
he Is chilled. No doubt he would run as great
risk if lightly clad, he were 10 face the rigor

else and habit might do much to develop the
powers OF endurance, and there would, at all
events. be less danger Of sud den cold acting

healthy comfort intermediate between these
extremes and more resistant to chill than either

posed murder at Cincinnati, in which two
young men, George Duffy and George Dress
confessed that they had been drinking
with stranger and took him to
the canal, and one of them pushed him in,
each charging the other with being the MUIR

Barnes, of Newport, Ky, was the victim.
but he was found alive. Subsequently a
man was found who said he was the
man thrown into the canal and that he had
been rescued. The confessed murderers
were then released. But on Sunday the dead
body of a man was found in the canal
and suspicious were again revived against
Duffy and Droess. They declared the man
was not their victim. Yesterday it was dis
covered that the doomed man was Amos Gavey,

Concerning Sleepers.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Some railroad man has given to the world
what he knows on this subject in the following:
"a sleeper is the one who sleeps. A sleeper is
that in which the sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is
that on which the sleeper runs while the sleeper
sleeps. Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in
the sleeper the sleeper carries the sleeper over
the sleeper under the sleeper until the sleeper
which carries the sleeper jumps the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the
sleeper under the sleeper, on the sleeper, and
there is no longer any sleeper sleeping in the
sleeper on the sleeper"

The Sixty Time Divisions.

MINUTES AND SECONDS DUE To THE CLEVER
HEADS OF THE BABYLoNIANS.
Max Muller. in Fortnightly Review.
Why is our hour divided into sixty minutes,
each minute into sixty seconds, etc. Simply
and solely because in Babylonia there existed,
by the side of the decimal system of notation,
another SYSTEM the sexagesimal, which counted
by sixties. Why that number should have been
chosen is clear enough, and it speaks well for
the practical sense of those ancient Babylonian
merchants.
There is no number which has so many di-
visions as sixty. The Babylonians divided the
SUMS daily journey into twenty-four pSrasangs,
or 40 stadia. Each parasang or hour was sub
divided into sixty minutes. parasang is
about German mile, and Babylonian astrono-
mers compared the progress made by the sun
during one hour at the time of the equinox to
the progress made by good walker during
the same time, both accomplishing one para
sang. The whole course of the sun during
the twenty-four equinoctial hours was fixed at
twenty-four parasangs or 72O stadia, or $50 de-
grees. This system was handed on to the
Greeks. and Hipparchus, the great Greek phil
osopher, who lived about $50 b c., introduced
the Babylonian hour into Europe.
Ptolemy, who wrote about $50 A. D., and
whose name still lives in that of the Ptolomac
system OF astronomy, gave still wider currency
to the Babylonian way of reckoning time 1t
was carried along on the quiet stream of ira
ditional knowledge through the Middle Ages,
and, strange to say, it sailed down safely over
the Niagara of the French revolution. For the
French, when revolutiOnizing weights, meas
ures. coins and dates, and subjecting all to the
decimal system of reckoning, were induced by
some unexplained motive to respect our clocks,
and watches, and allowed our dials to remain
sexagesimal, that is. Babylonian, each hour
consisting of sixty minutes. Here you see
again the wonderful conference of the world,
and how what we call knowledge is the result
of an unbroken tradition of a teaching descend
ing from father to son. Not more than about
hundred arms would reach from us to the
builders of the palaces of Babylon, and enable
us to shake hands with the founders of the old
est pyramids and to thank them for what they
have done for u.s.

"Pipes and Beer"

From the New York Tribune.
An institution known as ''pipes and BEER is
becoming, or rather has become, an unique
feature of club life in the city. The charm of
the custom lies in its simplicity, the entertain
ment being as unostentatious as the name by
which it is designated. At several clubs pipes
and beer" has become a weekly institution.
and on the established nights, generally on
Saturdays, the club steward furnishes for a
moderate fee unlimited tobacco with fresh
corn-cob pipes, and no end of beer The fee
is usually 80 cents for each partaker. The
feast, if such it can be called. is made further
attractive by special dish in harmony with
the flavor of the pipe and the taste of the beer.
