SELF-MADE CRANKS.
Men Who Feel Their Feeblensss In the
World of Practical Affairs.

Men Who Feel Their Fseblensss In the
World of Practical Affairs.
One can not help believing that there
is variety of this gentry who are self
made cranks-cranks because they want
to be. They seek some social dispro-
portion whereupon they can posture
with effect. The pleasures of conform
ity are humdrum; nonconformity is
piquant and startling. Such a man is
not crank from abundance of virtue,
as he would have you believe, but
rather because he feels his feebleness
if the world Of practical affairs and is
soured thereby. II he pose as an ad-
vance philanthropist, we suspect that
his love of mankind has some side
chances at personal profit. II facts be
against him, he does not hesitate to in
vent them, and visits with arrogant
abuse those who would expose his falsi-
ties. He is especially angry with those
hating disciples who accept his scheme
as something ultimately possible, and
then humbly inquire what they are to
do Professionally as practical approx
nation to the distant good. If he be
rhetorician, he has no scruple in ad-
ministering the electric shock of para
dox, and seeks the levity of assent that
may be caught blythe sudden spring of
false analogy. No doubt this reckless
shooter occasionally hits the marx.
Pope describes the talking bird who be-
rates the passers-by with epithets which
well-conducted periodicals have ceased
to print But the poet confesses that,
though sometimes struck with the ex-
treme felicity of these Characterization,
he had never been able to extend his
admiration to the speaker whose entire
stock in trade consisted of this very
limited and abusive vocabulary.-J. p.

THE TOBACCO HEART.

Many . Child's Health Is Smoked Away
Before 1t Is Born.
The tobacco habit produces physical
conditions of marked variety, particu-
larly as relates to the heart. Men use
parent damage to themselves sometimes,
but their sons will have decided mani
festations of the tobacco heart if they
try to smoke, and their daughters are
nervous and hysterical. Statistics of
the examiners of volun teers for the army
show that one-third of t.ll the applicants
who are rejected are ruled out because
of having tobacco heart. Many Of
them are to all appearances strong and
robust yet suffering from this constitu-
tional defect which makes them liable
to succumb to any unusual strain.
Everybody knows that there is a
growing number of young men and wo-
men who are good for nothing physi-
cally. Many men and women of sixty
and seventy are more hearty and vigor-
Gus than their children. It Is getting
to be almost fashionable to be an inya-
lid. The school children are pale and
puny. There are other causes, but to-
bacco must be held responsible for a
large share of this. The constitution Of
many child is smoked away before it
is born, and thousands and thousands
are suffering in various ways because
their fathers have squandered their
nervous energy and vitality in the uso
of tobacco From lecture by j. H.

FUTURE OF WOMEN.

Mr.. Gladstone Makes Eone Eminensly
Sensible Eemxrbs.
In the course of brief address ct
school for girls, where Mrs. Gladstone
distributed the prizes, Mr.. Gladstone
said:
THAT future of society is OF enormous
Importance to the world. I think it is
not uninteresting to recall, If may be
allowed to do it, little anecdote, when
some words were used to me more than
fifty years ago by an eminent physician
of that date--Dr. Farr, who lived in
Charterhouse square. 1 went there on
account of some affection of the eye, but
he entered into general conversation
about the political prospects OF the
country, and he said to me these words,
which, think, were full Of sense, right
feeling and wisdom; You may depend
upon it, Mr.. Gladstone, it is not the
Wings who will save the country, nor
the Tories who will save the country: it
is the mothers of England who will save
the country
81 think that should be to every young
wife the most cheering. the most oon-
soling, and the most stimulating lesson
that could be learned. Tie value and
the Importance of this thought are such
that no new addition we can possibly
make to woman's vocation can ever
stand for moment in comparison with
their vital bearing upon the formation
of character in every one OF u.s. And
what is the formation OF character but
that for which God sent as into the
world? 1t is the sum and substance,
the beginning and the ending OF the
whole matter, and it is the form alton Of
character which is the pride and glory
OF women as teacher, but infinitely NJ ore
as mother, to cont bnte."

ANECDOTES OF DECATUR.
The Gallant Naval HerOs Sympathy for
the Comrao on Sailors.

The Gallant Naval HerO's Sympathy for
the Comraon Sailors.
The gallant Decatur was a sailor to
the hearts core, ana loved to tell anec-
dotes of the common sailors, one of
which follows: In one Of the actions be-
fore Tripoli, while fighting hand to
hand with the captain of gun-bOat,
Decatur came near being cut down by a
Turk, who attacked him from behind.
A seaman, named Reuben James, who
was already wounded in both hands,
seeing the risk of his commander,
rushed in and received the blow of the
uplifted saber on his own head. Fortu-
nately the honest fellow survived to re-
ceive his reward Some time afterward,
when he had recovered from his wounds,
Decatur sent for lin on deck, expressed
his gratitude for his self-devotion, in
presence of the crew, and told him to
ask for some reward. The honest tar
pulled up his waistband and rolled his
quid, but seemed utterly at loss what
recompense to claim. His messmates
gathered around him, nudging him with
their elbows and whispering in his ear:
He has all the world in string and
can get what he Sleases;" 1.-The old man
can deny him nothing" etc. One adj
vssed this thing, another, that; double
pay" double allowance" "a boat
SWANS BERTH, "a pocket full of money
and full swing OH Shore" etc. Jack
elbowed them all aside and would have
none OF their counsel. After mature de-
I 6nr L L.
which he aspired; it waste be excused
from rolling up the hammock-cloths!
The whimsical request was, of course,
granted; and from that time forward
whenever the sailors were piped to stow
away their hammocks, Jack was to be
seen lettering around and looking on
with the most gentleman-like leisure.
The devoted fellow always continued
in the same ship with Decatur. 81
could always know the state of my bile
by jack" said the commodore. IF /
was in good humor, and wore a pleasant
aspect, Jack would be sure to heave in
sight, to receive a friendly nod; and if I
was out Of humor, and work, as l some
times did. foul-weather physiognomy,
Jack kept aloof and skulked among the
other sailors" 1t is proper to add that
Reuben James received more solid re-
ward for his gallant devotion than the
privilege above mentioned, a pension
having been granted him by the Govern
ment.
On another occasion Decatur had re-
ceived at New York the freedom of the
city as testimonial of respect and
gratitude. On the following day he
overheard this colloquy between two of
his sailors:
Jack" said one, ''what is the mean
ing of this freedom of the city, which
they've been giving to the old man?"
why, don't you know? Why, it's
the right to frolic about the streets as
much as he pleases, kick up row,
knock down the men, and kiss the wo-
men,"
"1hat's something worth fgh ting for!"
remarked the other.-N. Y. Ledger.

RAILROADS IN CHILL.

Operated to Produce a MaxiEa um
Degree of Discomfort.
The New York Tribune correspond
emit, who is exploring South America,
writes as follows of railway travelling in
Chill: s'The Gillian capital is approached
from either Valparaiso or Los Andes by
the Quillota Valley opening between the
Andes and the maritime range There
Is railway owned by the CHILEAN Gov
ernment and operated on the English
plan. The cars are so uare compartment
boxes, into which passengers are
crowded until no seats are reserved for
the late-comers, who are compelled to
sprawl over the baggage littering the
floor. There is an extra tariff of dol
lar for the transportation of a small
trunk in the baggage-car, and conse-
quent1y every native travels with his
effects in portable form to avoid
payment of these charges. I have
counted as many as a dozen pieces of
small baggage belonging to one traveller,
and the average certainly is not less
than seven. All this baggage is heaped
up in the compartment-car, SO that it is
.impracticable to change ones seat or
even to gain ones footing when the last
Debated passenger, with his bundles,
.sachels and band-boxes, is in and the
tickets have been examined by the
guard. At the railway junction of
ssLIaiIlai, three trains are emptied into a
large refreshment room, where break
fast is served with something of the
hustle and confusion of an American
rai1way station. On returning to the
compartment-car, every passenger has
! TO Chamber over the baggage mounds
and to regain, by gesticulation and al :
,9ument, the seat which some other tray
eler, possibly one Of the previous late
tcomers, has seen fit to occupy in his
temporary absence. This is the English
ErziIway service adapted to this southern
latitude. and it is operated SO as to pro-
sduce a maximum degree of personal an
tnoyance and discomfort At the end OF
Ethe journey passenger whose baggage
has been carried behind the engine,
where it has not been in anybody's way,
is compelled to employ and fee rail
way porter to hunt it up, and possibly
smother one to put it on coach.
