vaiue of Social Enjoyment.

Social enjoyment is another factor that
enters into long life. do not believe in
ultra fashionable society, and care moth
ing for it. The late hours, the dissipa-
ton, the dreary formaIities, the shallow
minded talk and the general air of hy-
pocrisy make it very distasteful to me.
There are great many among the rich
people in New York at the present time
who lose real social enjoyment. Having
suddenly acquired wealth, they have be-
come separated from their old friends
and acquaintance with whom, in earlier
days. they spent many a sociable and
sensible evening. They give big dinners
to a lot of brainless snobs, sycophants
and parasites who will eat their food and
laugh at them behind their backs. Their
honest friendships Of poorer days have
been broken, for their acquaintance, not
being able to give big dinners, do not ac-
cept invitations to them provided they
are sent, and so the spirit of true, whole
some enjoyment is soon lost.--P. I. Bar
mum in The Epoch.

Tho "self Limited. Diseases.

The nature of the cause of given dis
ease has much to do with its duration.
In the so called essential fevers, such as
tvphus, typhoid, relapsing and yellow
fever, the cause is a minute vegetable
organism that seems to attain its full de-
velopment within very short time, after
which it produces its progeny and dies.
There is no more chance of one of them
becoming chronic than there is of raising
several crops of oats or barley from once
sowing the seed. These are, traly. the
'.seif limited diseases. 1t is fortunate
in many particulars that such large
proportion of diseases are of this charac-
ter 1t makes but little difference in the
treatment of them what the drugs used
may be, SO long as the strength is kept
up and no harm is done. The main
thing is to keep the patient alive given

"Do many persons buy books with the

Some years ago in Africa detachment
of troops came to camp on q level stretch
Of country, perfectly dry and devoid Of a
suspicion of moisture. In digging up the
ground 10 arrange the tents fish was
found as dry as chip--a long eel like
creature coiled in Eall and seemingly
incased in a mud cocoon. The fish was
supposed to be mummified and was taken
as curiosity and in the course of several
weeks fell into the hands Of naturalist,
who placed it in water The mud slowly
dissolved and soon the fish gave gasp,
then a convulsive struggle, like sleeper
awakening, finally swimming off.
Here was singular example of fish
living out of water. 1t belonged to q
group known as lung fishes, the mem
bers Of which have peculiar faculty of
migrating overland and of being able to
exist not merely days but months out of
the water At certain seasons the lakes
and ponds of some localities in the dark
continent dry up, and were il not for
some provision which enables the fishes
TO bridge over this time it is evident that
many would be destroyed Nature, how
ever, comes to the rescue, and. as the
waters dry up, the fishes either crawl
away to other streams or Immediately
descend into the earth, where they form
themselves into a round ball and lie in a
semi-desiccated condition until the water
comes the ensuing season. 1t is even
said that fishes have been known to pass
two consecutive seasons in this condition.

Compressed Air for Motive Power.

NJ. Victor Popp is making good pro-
gress with his system of distributing
compressed air for motive power purposes
in Paris. The works for COMPRISING the
air in the Rue st. Fargeau, at Menil-
montant, are of considerable magnitude.
They cover an area of $4,000 square
meters, of which an extent of 2,000
meters is rooted over There are already
fixed and in operation seven steam en-
gines of 400 horse power and two of 100
horse power each, a total of 5000 horse
power. The conduits have already been
laid over the whole area comprised be-
tween the line of the boulevards and the
Rue de Rivoh. These are sometimes laid
in trenches cut for the purpose and some
times in the sewers. The total length of
the pipes laid was at the end of last De-
cember little over thirty miles. This
source of power is used for working
electric light machinery in a large num-
Der of establishments among which NAV

Pneumonia and Kindred Diseases.

The strong presumption is that much
of the affection is caused by what are
called modern improvements in heating
houses. Nothing has taken adequately
the place of the chimney as a ventilator.
Open fues have grown fewer and fewer,
and the oven principle has been substi-
tuted in the halls as we'll as the rooms of
the average ill ventilated household. To
walk outdoors is to suddenly transfer
the individual to another climate. The
over or ill regulated heating has been &C.
companied by an increase of closet and
other drains that the utmost care ap
parently cannot prevent from affecting
the interior atmosphere. Our people
have been made physically more tender
IN various ways. They ride in warm
cars more and walk less than formerly.
The elevator has robbed them of salutary
exercise they used to take. Modern COM
forts, SO called, and conveniences are
probably being bought too dear. They
should either be made better or used less.

One of the Rsereations OF the Cowboy
Tanning a Vicious Brute.
While the head men are gathered in .
little knot, planning out the WORK. tne
others are dispersed over the plain IN
every direction, racing, breaking rough
horses. or simply larking with one an
other. IL a man has an especially DAD
horse he usually takes such an opportu-
nity. when he has plenty OF time, to ride
him: and while saddling he Is surrounueu
bv n crowd Of most unsympathetic asso-
c;ates. who greet with uproarious mirth
any misadyenture. A man on a bucking
horse is always considered fair game,
every squeal and jump Of the bronco
being hailed with cheers OF delighted
IRONY for the rider and shouts to stay
with him.
The antics of vicious bronco show IN
finite variety of detail, but all are mod
eled on one general plan. When the
rome settles round his neck the fight be-
gins. and it is only after much piunging
and snorting that twist is taken over ms
nose, or else hackamore-a species o.,
severe halter, usually made OF plated
hair, slipped on his head. Whiie peins
bridled he strikes viciously with his fore
feet. and perhaps has to be blindfolded
or thrown down; and to get the saddle
ON him is quite as difficult. When sad
died. he may get rid of his exuberant
spirits by bucking under the saddle. or
may reserve all his energies for the rider.
In the last case. the man, keeping tight
hold with his left hand of the check
strap, so as to prevent the horse from
getting his head down until he is fairly
seated. swings himself quickly into the
saddle. Up rises the bronco's back into
an arch: his head, the ears laid straight
back. goes down between his fore feet,
and. squealing savagely, he makes sue
cession of rapid, stiff legged, jarring
bounds.
Sometimes he is "plunging" bucker,
who runs forward all the time while
bucking; or he may buck steadily in one
place, or s.sunfish that is, bring first
one shoulder down almost to the ground
and then the other, or else he may
change ends while in the air. A first
class rider will sit throughout it all with
out moving from the saddle, quirting his
horse all the time, though his hat may
be Jared off his head and his revolver
out of its sheath. After a few jumps,
however, the average man grasps hold Of
the horn of the saddle--the delighted on.

Three Glasses of Americans.

Sin your. travels through the coun.
try" says an Englishman, in speaking Of
the United States, .'you are constantly
running across two classes of people, the
hifalutin' boosters who think they can
whip all creation, and the apish imitators
of European ways. who spend their time
in apologhing fof their country. But Is
is only fair to say that the vast majority
of the people belong to neither of these
classes. Unfortunately, however, a VS.
iting Englishman is much more likely 70
meet the two classes spoken of than the
larger class of self respecting Americans
who really represent the genius OF the
country. And SO he goes home with

''No one will over be able TO tell the
real wealth of Alaska, said furrier to
reporter. 1T consists OF the abund-
ance of its skinned animals The
Russians used to value the country for
its fnrs, and it was mainly for the furs
that this country acquired it from Russia.
The trade has grown very much since its
annexation to this country. The ship
ments of sea otter and fur sealskins alone
have more than doubled during the past
ten years, and now average annually
$1,000, 600 in value. The list of furs
produced in that part of the country is a
long one. The land furs comprising
otter. beaver, brown bear, black bear,
red fox, silver fox. blue and white fox,
mink, martin, polar bear. lynx and
musk rat. Rabbits, marnots and wolver-
ines are also common, but their skins are
retained by the natives. The annual
value of the furs, sea and land. now OBJ
tanned from Alaska is estimated to aver
age $4,000 600, and there is no sign of
decrease in the yield. The connection
OF the traders for skins has stimulated
the natives to greater industry in hunt
ing. and the prices now paid to the
hunters are from four to ten times more
than We're current during the Russian
rule. New York Mail and Express.

Burmng solid Petraicum.

According 10 The Revue Scientitique,
DIR. Kaufman has succeeded in solidify-
ing petroleum by heating it for the space
OF half an hour with from / to 3 per
cent. of common soap, until the latter
has quite dissolved in the petroleum,
forming with it a homogeneous mass of
the consistency of tallow. Cut up in
cubes, this compound can be used as fuel
for heating purposes. 1t does not ignite
easily, but when once set on fire it burns
steadily, slowly and smoSeless,y, leaving
a carbonaceous residue of about Q per
cent. OF its weight. Solid petroleum
burns three times slower than coal, but
yields a greater heat than the latter.

There are genuine diseases of the heart,
Of course, but every little twinge, jerk or
sensation in the heart docs not indicate
that there is an organic disturbance any
more than a headache indicates disease
of the brain. The heart Is affected like
every other organ of the human body,
and resents any violation OF the laws Of
nature in eating or drinking or other ex-
cess Whatever the cause may be, when
1t is removed the heart shakes itself out
and goes on about its proper business as
If nothing had happened. The proper
ton OF persons who have heart disease in
the heart to those who have 1t in the
mind is about one to 100. This accounts
for the astonishing fact that so many
