olAos1oNs's WONDERFUL MIND.
HI. capacl., I. Little short of the Mar

His Capacity Is Little Short OF the Mar
velous.
Mr.. Gladstone's remarkable success in
life has been due in no small degree to
his health, his capacity for work, and
his p%rodigious memory. When one sees
him now, one sees o venerable figure,
bearing the marks of age. The outer
skin OF the face Is almost like parch-
ment, SO pale is Il and finely lined.
But twenty years az when first saw
him he was a splendid looking man, the
very picture of health. Not an ounce
of su%perfluous flesh or fat on his body;
all we'll preserved and in perfect con-
dition. From his earliest days his
health has been marvellous, says a
writer in the New England Magazine.
He could sleer at any moment, casting
aside easily tao weight of public cares,
and slumbering as softly as a little
child. Like Sir Walter Raleigh, he
could toll terribly:" and like all first
rate statesmen, he has been endowed
with a good memory. A friend told mo
that at a dinner party q few years ago
at Oxford at which Mr.. Gladstone was
present, the conversation happened to
turn upon some OBSCURE matter Con-
nected with the incomes Of some of
the Oxford colleges, about which none
but an expert could be expected to
know. The experts present, however,
knew nothing, while Mr.. Gladstone
came out with the desired information.
The same informant told that a friend
happened to call in on MI. Gladstone
two or three days after the revised YER
sion of the New Testament came out.
Mr.. Gladstone had been through the
new version, comparing it critically
with tho original Greek text, and spoke
learnedly on the subject. Yet he was
then In his Cad or Gath year, and held
the double Office of prime minister and
chancellor of the eXche9uer, and was
holding the threads of debate in the
house of commons every night. Even
now he can repeat much of Homer and
Dante by heart. He has recently given
a French speech in Paris and severaI
Italian speeches in Italy, and in ever,
case without special preparation. For {
leisured man to do this is not easy. Fol
q busy man, with the affairs Of the
great globe in his mind, a man arrived
at fourscore years, to do 1t we'll, is LITTLE
short of the marvellous.

ITO M Continued
The Philosophy of an Inhdei.

A most remarkable deathbed scent
took place in Vienna some time ago
The hero OF it was a young professor
at the university there. He was n mar
of great brilliancy and learning. His
lectures concerning the inner life OF
the soul were famous among the
students, who visited them in crowds.
He was regarded by his fellow profcs.
sors in the philosophical faculty as the
coming man in the department OF
psychology. Socially, also, he was a
man Of considerable prominence. He
had married into Il wealthy family. and
took every opportunity to get for his
wife aud three children all the pleasure
which the gay Austrian Capital affords.
At the thcater. on the promenade. and
ut the grsat court balls he was one OF
the most familiar figures.
Four years ago lie fell ill of au iu-
durable disease aud his physician
warned him that only Il radical change
from his gay mode of life could hinder
for II short time the progress of the
malady. The young professor an.
swered quietly that he would die as a
philosopher should die, without an ef-
fort to defer his last day. He ate,
drank. studied, lcctured. and danced
exactly as he did before the doctor
warned him. A few weeks ago he lay
down on his %deathbed. He read the
same books and talked of the same
frivolous amuscments us usual up to
one evening recently. Ats o'clock the
doctor then told him that he would die
within a few hours. The young pro
lessor discussed many topics, entirely
foreign to the subject of his fast-ap,
preaching death, with his wife till mid.

BREAD FROM WOOD.
The Remarkable Possibility for Which
Science Is Striving.

II Remarkable Possibility for Which
Science Is Striving.
Science has already enabled man to
extract fiery beverages and many other
things OF more or less value from wood,
and it Is now proposed to get q step far
Their and produce bread from wood, says
the Milling Record. In an address re-
Gently delivered in Heidelberg, Ger
many, by no less eminent an author
than Victor Meyer, 1t Is announced
"that we may reasonably hope that
chemistry will teach US to make the
fiber of wood the source Of human
food" What an stock of food
then, would tie found II this becomes
possible, in the wood of our forests OF
even in grass or straw? The fiber of
wood consists essentially of cellulin.
Can this be made into starch? Starch
has essentially the same percentage
composition, but it differs very
much in its properties, and tho
nature OF its molecule is probably
much moro complex. Cellulin Is of lit
tie or no dietetic value, and it is not
altered, like starch, in boiling water.
1t reilly gives glucose when treated
with strong sulphuric acid, as is easily
shown when cotton wool, which is prac-
tically pure c~ellulin, is merely immersed
in 1t. Starch gives the same product
when boiled with weak acid. The
author further quotes the researches of
Hellricgel, which go to show beyond
dispute that certain plants transform
atmospheric nitrogen into albumen, and
that this process a be improved by
suitable treatment. The production,
therefore, of starch from cellulin, and
the enforced increase of albumen in
plants would, he adds, in reality signify
the abolition of the bread question.

John Jacob Astor's Liberality.

Shortly after tho close of tho war of
independence John Jacob Aston came
from Waldorf, heidelberg, Germany, to
seek a fortune in the now world, and by
thrift, integrity, energy and untiring
industry he at length secured the OBJ
ject of his ambition, having ultimately
become the wealthiest merchant of his
time in the United States. Grateful
for his brilliant success, he did not for
get, among his bencfactions abroad,

writer in the New England Magazine.
After comforting with his friends.

A Sample Outrage.

The idea that the tariff benefits the laborer is modern invention. and was matched up for the purpose of deceiving the voters. It was a happy thought for the manufacturers, for without the scare crow of the ''pauper labor" of Europe the work ing people would have demanded their rights long ago. It is favor ite pastime for the friends of high tariff to claim that the workmen get all the advantages it affords, and that goods are sold at very low margin, even if foreign competition is excluded. Of course such IS not the fact. It appears from a cata- logue recently issued by an Ameri- cah manufacturing company that they sell goods at one price to their American fellow citizen and at a much smaller price in foreign market, where they must compete with the world. Below is compar- ative statement of the way one es- tablishment sold blows and other inn plements in Spanish America and in the United States:
