Persons who SneeZe.

The custom of giving thanks for sneezing
originated long before the Christian era,
says Harper's Bazaar, authority for the fol-
lowing:
In the Twelfth century lived EUstathius,
man profoundly versed in ancient
classic lore" He too yielded to absolute
belief in this old time superstition.
In his most valuable legacy to the world
of letters, a commentary on Homer's
"Iliad" and Odyssey" we find:
Telemachus then sneezed aloud;
Constrained, his nostrils echoed through the
crowd;
Thcsmling queen the happy omen blessed
Somay these impious fail, by fate opprest.
Odyssey, Book XVIII
And Homer lived hundreds of years before
she Christian eral
1t is said that when the king Of Mesopo-
tamia sneezes, acclamations are made in
all parts OF his dominion.
IN Siam ''ioug life' is wished to persons
who sneeze, and among Persians, if often
repeated, is regarded as a most suspicious
event.
The year $50 A. D. is usually reckoned
the era of the custom Of saying to one who
happened to sneeze, "God bless you"
Ia "a Seventeenth century work may be
found these lines:
It Is an order when you sneeZe,
Good men viii pray for you;
Mark him that doth so, for 1 thinke
he is your friend most true.

The Life of Submarine Cables.

A hard and fast law as to the life OF a
cable cannot be laid down, for the duration
of the sheathing wires is governed by more
than one element The quality of the gal
vanizing, the presence or absence of such
protection as compound tapes, or hemp,
and the physical and chemical nature of
the bottom, are considerations which must
be taken into account. Submarine cables
may have a life of more than ten years.
They can be successfully repaired at even
considerably greater age. There are now
in existence and in working order about
a, 900 knots of cables, having a life of fifteen
years and over; of this amount some q 900
knots are twenty years (and over of age.
There are several instances of cables now
working over twenty-five years old, but
these are principally lines of unimportant
lengths, and lying in shallow water. The
cables we have cited, says The Electrical
Review, are laid in all portions of the
globe, and submerged in all sorts Of depths;
and although the companies owning them
have spent, and are prepared to expend,
considerable sums in repairs, we do not
think that the complete renewal of each
section every ten years has entered into
their calculation. Present experience would
lead US TO allot to submarine cables laid
under favorable conditions an average life
of from thirty to forty years, but, as before
stated, no hard and fast figure can be given.

A CLEVER TRICK.

The secret lies mainly in the manner Of
holding the glass. Instead of grasping it
as if you were about to drink, take it with
the palm outward and upward (as shown
in the diagram at the upper corner). Swing
the arm boldly around and describe a
circle without pause, but without Excess
sive haste, in the direction shown by the
arrows in the illustration. The glass will
be found when it has completed the circle
to be held in the hand in the manner repre-
sented by the remaining figure of the cut
This is the position in which it is TO be re-
placed on the table. By beginning with
the glass half filled with water and in
creasing the quantity as skill improves,
one will be able after little practice to
perform the experiment easily. 1t is de-
sirable to make the first attempts in the
open air. An important point TO observe
is that there should be no hesitation OF I'M
evenness in the circular motion.

grit and determination, and the willing
ness to sacrifice self in the interests of the
college. For instance, during the spring
vacation the Harvard crew dispersed TO
their homes and had a good time general
~. Their weight, which they had worked
hard to reduce, went up again, and the re-
suit was that the few days off the water
was virtually two or three weeks of hard
training wasted During this time Yale
was putting in her very hardest ticks At
Philadelphia, on the Schuylkill, the crew
rowed once and sometimes twice every
day, under the personal supervision of
Messrs. Cook, Stevenson and Isham. The
difference ia the way the two crews spent
their respective vacations has been worth
a months work to the Yale men So much
for "Yaie spirit"
Harvard also has Yale's fault Of not
keeping the body in the same line in the
swing back and forth. The men, however,
keep the back stiff and do not settle, as do
the Yale oarsinen. Harvard's greatest
weakness is in her blade work. Toward
the end of the stroke the oar is gradually
lifted from the water instead of being kept
entirely below the surface and then with
drawn all at once. The result is that dur
ing small portion Of the stroke the upper
edge of the oar blade is out of water and is
not helping the boat along at all Captain
Perkins recently strained his arm, and has
had some trouble Herewith. Should he
not be able to stroke the crew Harvard
would have little chance to win. Perkins
is far better man than his rival, Gould,
in the Yale boat, and this disparity was
one of the points on which Harvard was
backing her crew.
AS far as equipment for the race is con-
cerned neither crew has any great advan-
tage Both use paper shells of the same
manufacture, 60 feet long by "a inches
wide. The oars used by the crews are also
the same-12 feet with ~ inch blade
Yale, however, uses rowlocks with anti
crab attachments, while Harvard sticks to
the ordinary lock. Harvard's seats are on
rollers, Yale's on slides. The Yale crew
arrived at their old Gales Ferry quarters
on the 18th. Harvard is now also on the
river. Active betting has not yet begun,
but the blue is slight favorite at 500

,pIe but Interesting Feat which

A Simple but Interesting Feat Which
illustrates a Great Natural Law.
You may often see at the circus or else
where juggler place glass of water in a
hoop and whirl it rapidly round and round
till it makes you giddy to look at it, with
out drop of the water escaping The feat
is based, as most people are aware, on the
action of centrifugal force.
Here is a method of performinga similar
feat, not less startling, with the glass of
water alone, no other apparatus being en-
ployed. The glass standing before you on
the table, you are to take it in your hand to
describe with it, at arms length, a COM
plete circle in the air and to replace it on
the table without having spilled a single
drop of the LIQUID.

Interesting Facts Regarding the English,
French and German Tongues.
The language in which Shakespeare and
Milton wrote was the language of less
than 100000 human beings, and when
Washington was president less than 1000, :
900 of people used the English tongue. At
the same time (time of our first president,
French was the mother tongue of at least
&C. oO0. 600 of people, and by some writers it
is said that 5000, 600 of French speaking
people were living at the time of the Revo-
luton of 1889. Between forty and fifty
wears ago the English language equaled
the German in the number of those who
spoke it, and now the latter is left far be-
hind in the race.
Now, SAYS the Chicago Times, German is
spoken by 10 600, 900 persons in the Austro-
Hungarian empire, by 46, 900, 900 in the Ger
man empire, by 40, 600 in Belgium, and by
about 2 600. coo in the little Alpine country
in Switzerland Besides the countries men
toned, in which German is usually classed
as the native tongue, it is spoken by about
1000, 600 persons in the United States and
Canada, giving a total of about 60,000,0oO
who use the German language.
With French the case is much the same.
That language is now spoken by the 38, 000,-
OO0 inhabitants of France. by 100000 peo-
