SMELLING OF ICEBERGS.
Peculiar Training of Sailors for De.
tecting the Silent Monsters
Of nnan

tecting the Silent Monsters
of the Deep.
The smelling of icebergs at sea,
similar TO the experience of seaman
August Jorgensen, the lookout on the
steamship Thingvalia. ON the night
of the vessels running into the Arctic
foe, is nothing unusual to sailors ac-
customed to northern ATTITUDES, how
ever odd the expression, ~ smell a
berg" may appear to landsmen and
sea-goers Of the middle lati-
tudes. Among the navigators from
scandinavian countries, especially
and particularly Danish seamen. the
smell of icebergs is familiar to the
nostrils, and voyages in Arctic re-
gions have enabled them to detect
the approach or proximity of one of
the dangerous visitors even before it
can be discerned by the eye. In fact,
with them the nose rather than the
eye is trained for the discovery of the
bergs, and acus with unerring judge
ment.
An iceberg has an odor, if it may
be so called, to them unlike any other
sort of scent. The moment it reaches
the nOstriis O sensation is felt which
would be perhaps peculiar and unac-
countable to those unused to it, but
which to the veteran iceberg smeller
is instantly and meaningly apparent.
1t passes from the atmosphere to the
the nasal membrane and to the SEN
sorium with the speed of an electric
message, warning the navigator OF the
peril ahead. One of the peculiarities
is the odor of the vegetation, which is
supposed to come from the immense
frozen up in the foe, and In course of
time decayed by the action of the heat
on 1T from the warm climate through
which the berg passes on it's way to
final dissolution.
The training for this singular sort
of watching for perils of the deep is
acquired only by constant voyagipg
among the ice fields and foes, and
some sailors, like Jorgensen, are bet
ter skilled at it than others. Instan-
ces are known of the discovering of
bergs at distances of quarter and a
half mile, and even further, by smell,
before the floating monsters were per-
ceptiDle to the eve.
While the Danish sailor is trained
by the sense of smell in noting them,
the mariner of our frozen north uses
the sense of smell and sight with
equal facility, and possesses the abil-
ity of discerning the Arctic traveller
with the eye as unerringly as by the
smell. To eyes practiced in observ-
ing them they have cumuli or fogs sur
rounding them different from the haze
of the coast of the sea, and those two
senses of sight and smell are relied
on as much as the charts and the
baromoters by North Atlantic skip
pers in sailing among the bergs.

Causes of Death.

Shakespeare says: "Men have died
and worms have eaten them, but not for
love-" Some one else says very few men
die of age. Death is the result of dis
appointment, personal, mental or bodily
toll, or accident. We often see the
strong man cut down suddenly, aud the
invalid living his four-score and ten.
The fact is that the strong man uses up
his strength, and the weak one nurses
the little given him. The passions GER
tainly shorten life, and sometimes sud
denly end it. "Chokedn with passion
is very often not an exaggeration. The
lower animals which live temperate lives
have their prescribed term of years. The
horse lives twenty five years, the OK fif-
teen or twenty, the hog ten or twelve,
the rabbit eight or nine, the guinea pig
six or seven. The numbers all bear pro
portion TO the time the animal takes to
grow its full size. Man is the only
animal that seldom comes up to the
average. He ought to live one hundred
years, according to the physiological law,
for five times twenty are one hundred, but
he scarcely reaches an average of four
times the growing period. To sum it all
up, man is the most hard working and
laborious of animals, also the most
irregular and intcmperate. lie is irritable,
and often wears out, Dr is consumed by
the fire of his own reflections. The

An Episode Of a Poets BOyhood.

A curious incident is handed down
from the boyish life of Schiller, One
day, IN tremendous thunderstorm, the
family gathered togethered in ill-dis-
guised terror. But Fritz was missing,
and the father, alarmed for his safety,
sought him in vain in all the rooms of the
house.
He went outdoors to search for the
truant, and to his surprise, found him
perched on branch of solitary tree,
eagerly watching the heavens and the
flashes which lighted up the gloom. He
was wholly indifferent to the rain, which
had wet him TO the skin, and to the
danger he incurred. To the sharp re-
proof of the father the boy replied, with
glowing face:

to see where it came from. Boston

CONTENT.

Be not content. Contentment means inac-
ton;
The growing soul aches on its upward
quest.
Satiety is the twin to satisfaction; II
All great achievements spring from Hfe's
unrest. p
The tiny roots, deep in the dark mould hid
ing,
Would never bless the earth with leaf and
flower
Were not an Unborn restlessness abiding
In seed and germ to stir them with its
power.
Were man contented with his lot forever,
He had not sought strange seas with sails
unfurled:
And the vast wonder of our shores had
never
Dswned on the gaze of an admiring world.
Prize what is yours, but be not quite con-
tented
There is healthful restlessness of soul
BY which a mighty purpose is augmented,
In urging men to reach a higher goal.
So when the restless impulse rises, driving
Your calm content before it, do not
grieve;
1t is the upward reaching and the striving
OF the God in you, to achieve, achieved

ConsnmntIon of OnIates.

Said a well known druggist to me the
other day: "You would be astonished
were you to know the exact amount of
morphine and opium sold in one week
by the local druggists. The consump-
ton of these drugs is simply enormous,
and the results appalling. We never
have less than half dozen calls for the
poison in one day. On Saturday nights
one of our clerks is kept busy attending
to nothing but the filling of orders for
opium, morphine in liquid and powdered
state, and the poisonous extract of the
poppy plant in every form. The colored
people are becoming the largest consum-
ers of the drugs, and on the night men,
toned half of the orders are brought in
by colored children. ."-LOuiSgiHe Post.

Queen Victoriu's First Love.

The name of the late Lord Ellen
borough was, says the New York SaR,
in his youth associated with that of
Queen, then Princess, Victoria. Ii was
a matter of common rumor that the two
young people were devoted to each
other, and that the youthful Queen in
sisted that she should choose him as her
consort. But reasons of state prevailed
over love, and young Ellenborough was
given a commission in the army, and
went to India, where ne distinguished
himself. His romantic love affair led to
the writing of ballad, which used TO be
sung in the drawing rooms of Great
Britain, the first verse of which was as
follows:
IN hang my harp o7 a willow tres,
III of 10 the wars again;
A peaceful home has no charms for me,
The battlefield no pain,
The lady love will soon be bride,
With a diadem ON her brow

the door, but at the same instant it
opened from within, and two men laugh
ing and talking boisterously strobe out
past him.
This sudden interruption unsettled Mr..
Powers, and he walked hastily around
the block to calm himself. He abused
himself for his own lack of spirit, and
determined to make the attempt again,
and that this time nothing should balk
him. He took the money, which he had
changed into three $5-bills, in one hand
and walked boldly and rapidly to the
door. Young Mr.. Powers hesitated no
longer! His career was to begin at once,
and he was at last to start upon that fast,
fascinating life of which he had dreams
end which had been denied him.
He noticed-without mental comment,
for he was too greatly excited-that
there seemed to a number of men ap.
prosching the place from many direc-
tions, but he did not care now If the
whole world saw him. He placed his
hand on the door knob and stood for an
instant IN the strong light of the hGll.
Then from behind him he heard a sud-
den rush of many feet, a man showed
him aside and pushed past him, another
and another followed. He was hustled
and shouldered out on to the sidewalk.
He heard terrified yell from some one
inside the building, the answer of many
excited voices, the crashing and break
ing of tables and chairs and the rattle of
hundreds of scattered ivory chips.
"What is it, oh, what is it" he
grasped, turning TO a man at his elbow.
sits raid," answered the man,
grimly. "The perlice have pulled it."
"The policew Young Mr.. Powers
turned sick with fear, and there was left
to him but one idea--to escape. He
brushed past the man and through the
people, who came running up on every
side, and flew at racing pace toward
the boarding house kept by Mrs. Mills.
He felt the hand of an officer on his
shoulder at every step; he saw himself
alched through the public streets; he
pictured his name in all the papers, and
his irreproachable family weeping on
their knees at the cell door.
He was painting and breathless when
he raced up the steps of his boarding
house and looked fearfully over his
shoulder The street was still and de-
serted and showed calmly and peacefully
in the moonlight. He had escaped, but
by so little-so very little. The hand
that held his latchkey fumbIed with the
lock, and it was with a start Of guilty
| fear that he confronted the elder Miss
Mills, who came to open the door for
him.
"Why, Mr.. Powers" she said sympa-
thetically in her gentle tones, "what
can be the matterl you look so pale"
Young Mr.. Powers became conscious
that he still held the gambling fund, the
awful evidence OF his guilty purpose, in
his hand. He never wanted to look at it
again.
''Miss Mills" he said, "nothing's the
matter. And, Miss Mills" he added
breathlessly, "here's fifteen dollars. 1t

It is proposed to increase the facilities
for obtaining warning of coming storms
by utilizing the telephone. NJ. Faye, a
leading authority of the French Academy
of Sciences, has asserted his belief in the
feasibility of the plan, and he is of
opinion that the telephone is capable of
transmitting storm sounds and of pre-
dieting tempest at least twelve hours
before it bursts. There seems no reas IN
TO believe that the telephone cannot be
used for the purpose, as satisfactory work
has been done ON somewhat the same
lines by the miorophone, by which instru-
ment, indeed, most reliable indications
of subterranean disturbances are now OBJ
tanned.
