Two Hundred and Eighty Years or

In 1909, after traversing the Hudson
river from its mouth to Albany. and
carefully noting the grandeur and beauty
on either side Of this magnificent high
way Of nature. Hendrick Hudson wrote
these words:

magnificent steamers that ply between
New York and Albany. the innumerable
sailing craft that dot the surface of the

canai boats that are being towed up and

The New York Central and Hudson

Speaking of ''mibs," who has not in
dulged In that fascinating game at some
stage of his youthful career? Every
man has had in his time his favorite
''shooter"-either an agate, an alley, or,
perchance, u cornelian-and he has had
a bag of marbles. He has been able to
make n good ring on soft dirt with the
sharp edge of his boot heel, and he has
often scooped holes in the ground for
''holey-boley." He has practiced tagging
at the ring for his shot, and he never
forgot tho order of that shot. If he were
n smart boy he put the kbosh on his
better playmates by calling: Fen picks
an fen everythings all aroun' the gamer
Often no has recklessly played ''chineys
for keeps" and even now he cannot
pass n crowd of boys playing marbles
without inv~oluntarily pausing to see
what the next boy did on his shot.
Marbles was and still is a great game,
especially when played "for keeps."-

Liquids make fat. There is no doubt
Of this in my mind, though l am fully
cognizant of the fact that n good many
people will deny it. The character of the
liquids has n good deal to do with it, but
the practice of drinking invariably leads
to unwieldy bulk. In Spain, where men
drink little, n fat man is unknown. In
Paris, where men content themselves
with slipping thlmblesful of absinthe or
small cups of black coffee, the French are
hin TO n remarkable degree. The wom-
en-, on the other hand, drink great guam
titles of champagne, Burgundy and lat
tcrly beer, and they are as n result prone
to stoutncss. In England men drink ale
and beer, and they arc n thick nccked.
pudgy and heavy race as n rule. l had
observed all this many times, md when
/ went TO Germany, where l knew the
consumption of beer was very great, /
had prepared to find fat men in abund-
ancc. | vas not disappointed. There
would seem TO be absolutely no end of
big, corpulent and unwicldy men in Ger
many. While in the army they are slim
and splendid looking warriors, but two
months after they leave the ranks they
become heavy, puffy and beefy to the
last degree. This is over so in the ranks
among the other soldiers, and the cav
airy were men of such extraordinary
weight that they always excited COM
ment from Strangers Philadelphia

1t is not only a wise and happy thing
to make the best of life, and always look
on the bright side, for ones own sake,
but it Is n blessing to others. Fancy q
man forever telling his family how much
thcy cost him! A little sermon on this
subject was unconsciously preached by n
child one day last fall:
man met n little fellow on the road
carrying n basket Of blaclbcrries. and
said:to him: Sammy, where did you get
such nice bcrries;"
lover there, sir, in the bricrs."
Wont your mother he glad 10 SEQ you
come home with n basketful of such
nice, ripo fruit?'
Yes, sir" said Sammy, ''she always
seems mighty glad when l hold up the
berries, and | don't tell her anything
about tho briors in my feet"
The man rode on, resolving that hence.
forth he would hold up the berries and
say nothing about tho briers.-Atlanta

1t was not many years ago that the
cottonwood tree was considered useless
for the purposes of lumber. Today it is
crowding white pine out of the market
for certain purposes, and large fortunes
are being made all along the Mississippi
river out of this wood, which was once
despised as much in that field as n garflsh
always has been among fishermen. In
New Orleans white pine is worth 1876
a thousand, while yellow cottonwood
brings S65. For the ceiling of grain
barges it Is invaluable, as grain cannot
sweat in it. Every cracker box in use in
this city today is made of cottonwood,
and it cannot be excelled for fruit bar,
rels. do not know why this is SO, but
it Is n fact, nevertheless. Cottonwood
will hold nails and can be used for build
ing, and it is also capable of a fine polish
after certain treatment, and it is much
priced for interior decorations. There
are now men rich because they own
tracts covered with cottonwood, who five
years ago would have traded an acre of
it for n yellow dog.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

peaths at soa

"A great deal has been DONE" said an
old sailor the other day, ''to improve the
lot of the men before the mast, since first
l went to sea as n cabin boy, and when
ever a complaint Is properly lodged
against a cruel officer, 1 must say it is
fairly investigated, Yet for all that,
there are plenty of murders committed
today on the high seas that are never in
yestigated because no complaint is made.
Every day one or two vessels come into
this port with a shorter crew than they
started out with and their captains re-
ports of seaman fell overheard and was
lost or cabin boy killed by falling SPAR,
or coal passer died from heart trouble
and was buried at sea- are accepted as
perfectly satisfactory. No investigation
Is made into the death, unless some one
lodges a formal complaint.
ITS an easy matter for one man who
has a grudge against his mate to shove
the other overheard, if they are both up
in the rigging in a dark and stormy
night. The unseen cutting of a rope is
often enough to do it. 1t is easy to drop
block or a marline spike on the head of
a man below, that will knock him dazed
into h water to drown, or down to the
deck to smash his skull. Heart trouble
covers a great deal of insufficient nour-
ishment, lack of medicine and overwork.
This is not the way things are done on
land. You have your o here to
investigate sudden deaths, why should
they not look into deaths at sea? Many
poor towards would tell the truth against
their officers, If they were thus forced to
do SO, who would not dare come forward
and lodgea complaint they might be un-
able fully to prove."-New York Tribune.
