the special nutritive actions which bring
on certain changes In men and animals,
from the primitive embryonal stage till
death by old age, are absolutely fatal and
irreversible. But In the same way that we
see muscles which have from disease un-
dergone considerable structural alterations
regain sometimes their normal organiza-
ton. we may, believe, seq also some
structural changes not essentially allied
with old age, although accompanying It,
disappear to such degree as to allow
Tissues to recover the power they possessed
at much less advanced age.

In last weeks issue OF the Maritime
Reporter and Sea6odrd, printed in New
York and accepted as reliable authority
on nautical matters, in an article on the
trial trip of that grand new transatlantic
liner, the Teutonic, We lind this almost
incredible statement,
The relations between the owners OF the
White star Line and the builders (Harland
~ Wolff, Belfast, Ireland,) are probably
without u parallel In the shipping trade.
Nearly s25, 900, QUO have been paid by the
owners to the builders, without contract
and Without specification. "Build me the
very best vessel that you can put into the
water, without regard TO cost, and charge
me fair price for your time, labor and
mRteria" nre Mr.. lsmay's instructions
when he orders new boat. he has never
given any other Instructions aud he has
never had occasion to regret his action.
The builders are at once on their mattle
and on their honor. The arrangement has
worked we'll for both parties. It seems
destined to continue and is probably
unique.
The Teutonic is stated by the Maritime
Reporter to be probably the most per-
feet mail steamer in the world" It is
nearly enough to take ones breath away
to read that she ard her sister steamers OF
the White Star Line have been con.
structed in this of.hand way; particu-
larry when confronted with the humiliat.
ing truth that, in our own land, instruc.
lions the most specific, specifications the
most elaborate and detailed and espionage
the most unremitting could not avail to
get for the United States government
what 1t had hargained for from ship
builder of such reputation as the late
John Roach; that notwithstanding the
most explicit written contract, advantage
was taken Of every loophole to make
money by cheapening in material or
sighting in work; and that when tests
showed, as the inevitable result, strnp-
tural defects and lack of working ell
cheney, the government officer whose
duty it was to make the contractors live
up to at least passable performance OF
their written agreement, was bounded
and abused without stint by party papers

duty--hecause he tried to hold the build,
ers to their written contracts. Why, the
Republican press has not even yet ceased
to reproach Secretary Whitney for his
insistence on the right Of the American
people to get somewhere near as efficient
a boat as they had contracted to pay for.
/ It is no wonder, after sueh an experience
that we stand dumb with amazemeut al
the spectacle Of Irish nhipbuilders who
bound only by their sense Of honor AND
justice, their respect for their own good
name aud their genuine commercial en-
;erprise and ambition, without scrap o.
writing, execute commissions involving
millions Of dollars to the entire satisfae
ton Of their patrons, placing good, faith
full, honest work above mere none,
making and jastitying in the highest de
gree the unrestricted confidence repcset
in them.

Since Fred Leslie, the comedian, now
oertfes personally to the fact that he ia

gardins the recent report Of his death as
premature. But the good obituary send

wasted. Leslie found it entertaining

The wisdom of Delaware's straightfor-
ward course in extending relief to the
Oonemaugh Valley sufferers stands out in
strong contrast with the unwisdom and
insutfarable delay of Pennsylvania red
tape system. Here, after DelswRre's
fund has been collected, disbursed, set
tied up and accounted for, comes the
news, through the Philadelphia Recon- d,
that 'it hos at length been announced
from YOUNGSTOWN that large distribution
OF the relief fund, amounting to about
$l,750 900, is to be made as speedily as
may be-" Whatever excuses or ex-
plantations" adds the Record, "may be
put forth, the fact that after the lapse of
nearly three months the greater portion
of the Johnstown relief fund remains
useless in the custody of the commits
sion 10 OF itself reproaoh more elo-
quent and more stinging than any lam
guage OF criticism or denunciation could
be. The citizens of Johnstown will have
reason to remember this food commits
sion, not with emotions of gratitude, but
as the chief stumbling block in the way
of their restoration to prosperity"

In tho United States Pension Office, of Washington, D.

The first interest. how ever. attaches to her as the widow of the late Confederate General, George Pickett whose bravery and manliness both sides concede.
 All mankind-and VIC grant at once that they only are judges of what con- stitute womanly beauty-consider Mrs. Pickett beautiful woman. She is above medium height Her figure is all soft lines and curves. Her eyes and hair are black, the first large, melting or flashing as is her mood.

He Knew the Book.

Two men seated on railway train fell into pleasant conversation. ''Speaking about books" said one of the men, a tall fellow with red hair, have you read that wonderful novel, 'Sedge-Grass Ranch?'"
 No: is it good?"
 Finest thing ever read in my life. :"
 'Indeed."
 "Yes, sir, one of the finest things in the English language"
 That's saying great deal for an American novel,"
 ''Yes, but I'm justified by the excel fence of the book in making the asser- tion; and, as you are reading man, I would advise you to buy it as soon as possible. pos l Only S coat you n,1 1lfty cents cents We'll, must get off here. Good bye"
 "Good-bye. Say (addressing the con- ductor), who is that red-headed man?''

Exercise and Perfect Rest.

There is no better preventive of nervous exhaustion than regular un- hurried muscular exercise. If we could moderate our hurry, lessen our worry. and increase our open air exer- else, large proportion of nervous dis eases would be abolished. For those who cannot get a sufficient holiday the best substitute is &n occasional day in b I. Many whose nerves are con stantly strained in their daily avocation havo discovered this for themselves. A Spanish merchant in Barcelona told his medical man that he always went to bed for two or three days whenever he could be spared from his business, and he laughed at those who spent their holidays on toilsome mountains. One of the hardest worked women in Eng land, who has for many years conducted a large wholesale business, retains ex- cellent nerves at an advanced age, ow- ing, it is believed, to her habit of taking ono day week in bed,

 II must tell you an incident con nected with that morning. At the close of the service an old lady came up and, taking my hand, said:
 My dear, you sing like an angel, if you do look quaint, referring to my clothes.
 "A day or two after that, I saw an advertisement in a daily paper for a schoolteacher. Being graduate of Lynch burg Female College, presented myself as a candidate. An old Scotch servant admitted me. She evidently was not favorably impressed with my girlish appearance, for did not look very much like the typical schoolma'am. Still, she smiled grimly as if she regarded it as kind of joke, and conducted me up- stairs to the principal who was already engaged in the duties of the day. She turned me over to him as a Miss who thinks she can teach school Her manner indicated her state of mind on the subject. His first question was to l ask me if could read Latin. On being assured that l could, he proceeded with my examination right before the school, and I answered questions, or finished | questions which he began. Finally he | wrote on the ckboard, President Lincoln says nobody IS hurt Quick as l a flash l wrote, and as quickly erased iBut somebody was.' He turned and clasped my hand and said, Madam, you have passed the ordeal, the situation is | yours.' I filled it for six months, when | we felt free to return to the States by l the assurance of General Grants recall. However, we preserved our incognitc l unto the end. Even now cannot re-
 call my experiences without mingled
 emotions. They were pathetic, and yet in some respects, at this distance
 of time, l can laugh at them.

Who Would Be a Ruler

The longer that I live the moro reason do 1 find to be thankful that I am neither a king nor a kaiser. The Emperor Of Germany having paid visit to the Emperor of Russia. tho latter had to return it. At 10 o'clock a. m. he arrived at Berlin. His first bus mess was to shake hands with a lot Of generals and courtiers who were intro duced to him, and to kiss the Emperor William. Then he drove through lanes of troops to the Russian embassy. But before entering he had to stand at the door for an hour to gaze on regiments marching past. After a hasty luncheon he paid call on the Empress Augusta and the Empress Victoria. At six he dined at gala dinner, and had to mako a speech and to liaten to one. After the dinner there was gala recep- tion," with more introdvctions; and no sooner this over than he was hur- ried off to gala representation at the opera house. The next morning he had the pleasure of reading in his news papers that no one at Berlin wanted him or thought much of him.
