Possibly the poor wretches Of the past
had more mechanical helps than we know
Of, but certainly they had no steam en-
gines. Look at the gigantic results Of
Roman labor rs seen In the moldering
remains OF the noblest aqueducts, ha-
veus, roads and public buildings that
were ever constructed. II seems incred-
ible that these were the achievements Of
mere muscle. The Romans conquered

We have not very high opinion Of The
Turks, but they have one admirable
maxim, viz; that every boy, no matter
what his degree, shall be taught some
handicrait whereby, under any circum.
stances, he may get q living. Sultan
Mahmoud was q tolerable- shoemaker,
and other sultans were compelled in
their youth to learn mechanical trades.
The worst Of 1t is thSt your Ottoman

having been taught how to earn his

sightless Samsons, working in the dark

exertion Is honorable and idleness dis
graceful. Furthermore, mechanical power,
scientifically applied, Is the salve that
does most Of the hard jobs, and saves
muscle no end Of lifting, pushing, strik-
ing and hauling. It has been well said
that no illustration could more aptly

Story Of the Heavens. Are the days n
warm and as bright as they were 10 yearI
ago, 100 years ago? We can find no eyi'
dence Of any change since the beginning
Of authentic records. II the suns heal
had perceptibly changed within the last
1000 years we should expect to find cor.
responding changes in the distribution Of
plants and animals, but no such changes
have been detected.
There Is no reason to think that the
climate Of ancient Greece or Of ancient
Rome was appreciably different from the
climates Of the Greece and the Rome
that we know at this day. The vine and
olive grow now where they grew 2OOC
years ago. We must not, however, lay
too much stress on this argument, for the
effects Of slight changes In the suns heat
may have ben neutralized by CORES
ponding adaptation In the pliable organ
isms Of cultivated plants.
All We can certainly conclude is that
no marked change has taken place in the
heat OF the sun during historical time.
But when we come to look back into
vastly earlier ages we find the most copi-
ous evidence that tho earth has under
gone great changes in climate. Geologi-
cal records can, on the question, hardly
be nisinterpreied. Yet Ii is curious to
note that these changes are hardly such
as could arise from tho gradual exhaus.
tiun Of the suns radiation. No doubt In
very early times We have evidence that
the earth's climate must have been much
warmer than at present. We had the
great carboniferous epoch, when the tem.
perature must almost have been tropical
In arctic latitudes. Yet 1t Is hardly pos
sible to cite this as evidence that the sun
was then much more powerful, for we
are immediately reminded Of the glacial
epoch when our temperate zones were In
cascd in sheets Of solid ice as far north us
Greenland is at preseRt. II we suppose
the sun to have been hotter than It Is at
present to account for the vegetation
which produced coal, then we ought to
assume the sun to be colder than it is
now to account for the glacial period. II

A married man always carries his con-
ditions with him, like trade mark. Any
body Of average discernment can detect
him at a glance.
lie does not pinch his toes with tight
boots. He does not scent himself with
violets. lie never parts his hair in the
middle. He keeps his seat in the horse
car when the pretty girl, laden with bun
dies, comes in; he knows that his wife
wouldn't approve Of his rising. He docs
not set up ilirtations with the good looE-
ing saleswoman where he buys his gloves /;
he remembers that little birds are flying
all around telling tales, and lie has q hor-
ror Of curtain-lectures somehow, mar
ried men never seem to arrive at that
state Of beatitude where they do appre-
ciate the kind Of literary performance
known as curtain-lectures.
The married man has come to that
stage when he is convinced that the way
his necktie hangs may not be any more
important than his souls salvation. He
knows to certainty that true happiness
does not depend on the amount Of starch
in his shirt-bosom, but he will have to

He frequently says that he wishes cats
had been left out Of the scheme Of crea-
tion. He has been known to kick the
unofending animal. He has little SYM
pathy for wifely headaches. Once he was
on the verge Of lunacy over any Of her
little ailments; now he is n great deal
more concerned as to what he is likely to
have for dinner. He doesn't spend any
money on flowers. He lays it out in
cigars instead.
lie Is no longer acting with purpose

himself once more. Just married man,
and not an ideal, romantic, sonnet-writing

pies nearly all the available space Of the

Capt. Cobaugh, ct the treasury depart
ment, says the Philadelphia Prcss. Every
visitor to the department is shown the
flag. and attention is generally invited to
tear in one oi its stripes. The Gag for
merly belonged TO the Treasury Guards,
volunteer organization formed during
the war for emergencies that might arise
at the capital Of the Nation. After the
fall Of Richmond, and the night that
President Lincoln went to F0rd's theater,
the hag, which was then attached to q
stout rosewood flagstaff, was borrowed by
John T. Ford for decorative use about the
box occupied by the president. When
the assassin fired the shot, whose echo
was heard throughout the civilized world,
he leaped from the box, and in doing so
caught the rowel Of bis spur in the silken
folds OF the starry banner protrlding from
the presidents box. That slip probably
cost Boath his life, for the Has tripped
him AMI caused the broken leg which
impeded him in his efforts to escape and
rendered him an easy victim for Sergeant
Boston Corbeit's ride ball. subsequently
the flag was returned to the treasury
department, and during the few days that
President johnson had his office in the
department the flag was in a corner Of
the apartment. 1t was removed, how
ever, by Capt. Cobaugh to its present
resting place and the staff was made into
three canes and presented to officials Of
the treasury department.
