Three interesting trials of screw propelleIs
have been made by foreign vessel, the Me-
dusa, in consequence of the frequent failure
of new ships to reach their estimated speed
though driven by more than the prescribed
horsepower. Experiments with propellsrs
in tank showed results which would not be
equalled when attempted at sea. The Medusa
therefore was tried with three patterns of
three .bladed screws. The blades of the
screws, though attached to the same bosses,
were of different forms and areas, and the
vessel was driven at s, 10, 16 and 1s knots
and also at full speed. The first screw tested
had a diameter of 12 feet and a mean pitch of
IL feet inches, when with 9,975 horse power
a speed of 1854 knots was realized. The
second screw with 13 feet 6 inches diameter
and II feet pitch, and with 10,011 horse
power, gave speed of 19, 924 knots. Finally
the third screw had diameter of 12 feet
inches and a pitch of II feet inches, and
gave speed of 19.717 knots with 1901
horses. The best results were thus obtained
by the second screw. But the propellers
which gave the best results at the highest
speed failed to produce the best results at the

AN INsTRUOTIvE DECISION.

AN ANSA n OOAA AsNOASAOINs
The recent decision of the Supreme court
of Iowa upon the validity of an agreement
between husband and wife is attracting some
attention. The case is a curious one. Mr..
and Mrs. Miller agreed that all past subjects
and causes of dispute, disagreement and
complaint of whatever character or kind
shall be absolutely ignored and buried and
no allusion thereto, by word or talk, to each
other should ever be made. Each party
agreed to refrain from seo1ding, fault finding
and anger in SO far as relates to the future,
and to use every means within their power
to promote peace and harmony. 1t was fur
ther agreed that each should behave respect
fully and fairly treat the other. 1t was also
agreed that Mrs. Miller should keep her
home and family in comfortable and rea-
sonably good condition, and that Mr.. Miller
should provide for the necessary expenses of
the family, and should in addition thereto
pay Mrs. Miller for her individual use two
hundred dollars per year, payable sixteen
and two thirds dollars per month 80 long as
Mrs. Miller should faithfully observe the
terms and conditions of the agreement.
Miller failed ON the sixteen and two-thirds
dollars, and Mrs. Miller went to law about
it. The Supreme court decides that the
agreement cannot be enforced for the reason
that it is against public policy and therefore
void. Iu the first place, it says, the "com-
plainant has agreed to do just what is de-
manded by her marital relations and is
essential to domestic felicity" For this the
husband is not bound to pay her. Then, an
agreement of this kind could not be enforced
| in the courts without an inquiry into the
| domestic relations of the parties. "Public
| policy dictates that the door of such inquir-
les shall be closed. They would strike at
the very foundations of domestic life and
happiness"

UNITED QUESTIONING.

The United Question clubs of Massachu-
sets keep at 1t. According to the Worcester
Spy, the answers to inquiries as to the duties
on fish, iron and wool are somewhat diverse
in phraseology, but they may all be classed
under one Of two heads. If Republicans,
the writer's refuse to be enticed into boot
less discussion, in which the parties cannot
agree even as to the premises; if they are
Democrats, they eagerly seize the opportunity
to indorse what has been already written by
Russell of Leicester and Russell of Cam
bridge, and to boast their assumption OF
the questions Congressman Morse prefers
to answer "by my votes in the 51st con-
gress, which you may be very sure will be
cast in the interest of the laborinR people
country, and not against them. I believe in
American markets for American manufac-
turers, and American wages for American
workmen. Under the wise protective policy
of the Republican party of the last 25 years
the country has enjoyed a development and
prosperity Unprecedented in the history of
nations. It is safe axiom in the affairs of
states, nations and individuals to let well
enough alone"
It is evident that the United Questioners
of Massachusetts are not likely to find out
much that they didn't know before. Still, it
amuses them to esk questions and doesn't do
any harm.

The Old State House.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Think what they may, the haters of the
Old State house are destroying property of
other owners than themselves; and it is faid
they are doing this for hire. Then are they
not perpertrating crime for moneys And
words are lost on such miserables. But who
encourages them? Report says that promi-
nent among those by merit raised to such bad
eminence are not very few who are rejoic-
ing not only in rearing costly buildings OF
stone and mortar for Yale college but also in
pulling down one, now famous for New Ha-
ven; which was soon to be the very finest
architectural public structure New Haven
ever had. And it probably would have been
made to stand, and admirably we'll 6t to
stand New Haven's memorial monument,
graceful, and useful for many centuries. But
it's locality, ranged upon New Haven's green
right in front of Yale's own little park, rs-
Gently devoted by Yale itself to the building
up of stone and mortar into heavy, strong,
costly but clumsy structure, very repulsive
as specimen of architecture. We do not
mean to try to persuade anyone, after Yale
fashion, that their building is so ugly that 1t
ought to come down, either by mob nor un-
der pretenee of law. Nor by law ever so
strong if they can get it. But we may re-
mind those who frame mischief by law that
S0Cu 4ldlAcI5 hI0 epOoi01hy SAASOo
and remind such also as think
they live in glass houses that every
body knows time has its chances, and some-
times its revenges. An old prophet doubt
less had something like this in his mind when
he exclaimed: "The stone shall cry out of
the wall, and the beam out of the timber
shall answer It'll" The practical instruction
at Yale (by some accident even) may yet
come to be, instead of teaching the young
idea how to shoot, may teach the young
id-eot how to put forth dynamite and thus
to anticipate events, as idiots may think the
law ought to be hurried up to suit their
haste. As to the two jobs, the one of build
ing up, the other of pulling down, set the
Yale representatives and the New Haven
rifraffs both together defame the old State
House as they may. The very costliest
building on the college grounds is ugliness
itself personifed. See it, there it is; moth
ing of architectural comeliness about it. It
sits upon the ground, squat like gigantic
toad! But don't pull it down; there let it stand
till the destroying robbers pay up.

GIRLS WHO WANT TO ACT.

and the Life Of an Actress.
From the Boston Transcript
Hundreds of girls come to me in the course
of the year-and goodness knows would
like to take them all, If 1 had my own way -
but, of course, can take only small per-
centage of them. Now think that all these
young ladies should come with some market
able commodity to offer manager. We will
suppose they have good looks; that is one
and very important one. But that is gem
orally only one, and they frankly admit that
experience or accomplishments (stage accom-
plishments) they have none. Now a mana
ger cannot afford to make experiments and
take on trial purely inexperienced young
lady. At the same time, when they ask
what they are to do to gain experience am
at disadvantage. I should like to say
sect an engagement" but as that is virtu-
| ally proposing that some other manager
should or might do what refuse to do my
self, it does not sound either satisfactory OF
logical. I think, however, they might pre-
pare themselves little more and diminish
the managers risk and make subsequent in
| structions easier.
With the young lady who wishes to keel
it secret from her father and mother. bu
intends to s'adopt the profession" have
nothing to do. In the first place, the disap
proval of her parents is enough for me; II
the second place, am proud enough of my
profession to think that it requires as muct
talent and industry as any other profession

Foodln Old Age.

[Dr. Robson Roose, In the Fortnightly Review.
With regard to food, We find that DR..
Humphreys report that 80 per cent of the
aged persons were either moderate" OF
sssmaIl" eaters, and such moderation is quite
in accord with the teachings of physiology.
In old age the changes in the bodily tissues
gradually become less and less active, and
less food is required to make up for the daily
waste. The appetite and the power of diges-
ton are correspondingly diminished, and, al
though for the attainment of great age q
considerable amount of digestive power is
absolutely necessary, its perfection, when
exercised upon proper articles of diet, is the
most characteristic. Indulgence in the pleas
ures of the table is one of the common errors
of advanced life, and is not infrequent in
persons who, up to that period were moder-
ate or even small eatsrs. Luxuries in the
way of food are apt to be regarded as re-
wards that have been fully earned by a life
of labor, and may, therefore, be lawfully en-,
jcyed. Hence arise many of the evils and
troubles of old age, and notably indigestion
and gouty symptoms in various forms, besides
mental discomfort. No hard and fast rules
can be laid down, but> strict moderation
should be the guiding maxim. The diet suit

bulk, and its quantity should be in propor-
tion to the appetite and power of digestion.
Animal TODD, well cooked should be taken
sparingly and not oftener than twice a day,
except under special circumstances. DIR.
Parkes advocates rice as partial substitute
for meat when the later is found to disagree
with old persons. tits starch supplies nitro
gen In moderate amount, we'll fitted to the
worn and slowly repaired tissues of the
aged" Its bulk, however, is sometimes a
disadvantage; in small quantities it is a val
uable addition to milk and to stewed fruits.
The amount of food taken should be divided
between three or four meals at fairly regular
intervals. A sense of fullness or oppression
after eating ought not to be disregarded. 1t
indicates that the food taken has been either
too abundant or of improper quality. For
| many elderly people the most suitable time
| for the principal meal is between 1 and p.
| m. AS the day advances the digestive pow

stantial meal taken in the evening may SER
iously overtask them. Undigested food is a
| potent cause of disturbed sleep, and one
| which ought to be carefully guarded

Roguery on the Turf.

ltrOh tne LOnuon opScthtoE.l
The attraction of betting is easy to under
stand, but one must think little more to
comprehend why betting on races tends 30
exceptionally to make men rogues. It is all
very well to deny the fact, and to assert,
what ID perfectly true, that there are honest
owners, honest trainers, honest jockeys and
honest book.mskers on the turf; but al Q
matter of fact no experienced "sportsman''
denies that the amount of roguery in racing
transactions Is extraordinary. Numbers of
owners are utterly distrusted, the jockey
who never sells race is praised as a moral
hero-just remember the columns of moral
laudation lavished ON Archer-and az for the
bookmaker who always psys-which he
must do If he is to get good customers-he
stands on level with millionaire philan-
thropist.
There is not betting man In the country
who is not full to the lip of stories of rogue
ry, and not stable boy who could not en-
large the betting mans repsrtory If he told
all he knew. Nobody connected with races
even affects to be surprised when he hears of
sharp practice, and there are great owners
who would no more bet than archbishops,
because they know that if they did even

which more or less smirches every man
whose chief interest in human affairs is the
comparative running of young horses. Now
why is that? Spectators on change are
very often not nice men, and some of them
are, We fear, deliberate and accomplished IL
ars; but they are not all smirched as the turf
men are, even in the eyes of the very strict,
and large majority play fair. So do the
majority of card players, whom one would
priori, expect to be at least as much inclined
to sharp practice as any betting man. The
question has been answered a hundred times
by sporting writers, by statement that
somehow not only betting men, but horse
dealers also, catch roguerY as a sert of dis
ease from the beasts themselves; but that Is
of course only . jocular confession of igno-
rance, and we fear the true answer must be
much more cynical. There is no such rogue
~ in any amusement as there Is on the turf,
because there is no amusement in which
roguery pays 80 we'll, and is 30 little liable to
adequate punishment.
If man cheats at cards he can be detect
ed past all doubt or explanation; and if he
is detected he" is for the rest of his life
hopelessly ruined man. It is next to fmpos-
sible, on the contrary, to prove q robbery on
the turf. You may suspect that "ringa'
knows accurately which horse will win, its
members having "squared" every formidable
eompetitor-that is having bribed his owner
or his trainer, or his jockey or his attend
ants-o1 you may believe that horse has
been run up to preposterous odds by artistic
lying; but what is the value of the suspi-
cionf Nobody dare peach, and unless some
body peaches, to obtain evidence requires
almost supernatural acumen."
