A Story of LongfeIlow.

A New York paper, in some pleasant
gossip about Mr.. Longfellow tells story
of the way he treated the charges Of
plagiarism against the Indian poem .'Hia-
watha," in following closely both the
form and substance of 1.-The Kalevala.
the national epic of Finland. When thew
began to appear he showed profound in
difference on the subject; but before long
his publisher thought best to call his at.
tention to them, and suggested that "A
reply from the poet be written. ives.
I'll think about it, said Mr. Longfellow.
and there the matter dropped. The press
continued to echo and re-echo the CHARGE:
and the publisher again called on the poet
saying, Really Mr.. Longfellow, | think
it is high time this charge was answered. ."
Again Longfellow said, I'm see about
it," adding, quietly, How is the book
selling?' "Oh. wonderfully well. said
the publisher Better than my other
books?" "Oh, much better. and he named
the figures.
Shortly after this interview (Mr. Long.
fellow still keeping silence), The Tribune
came out with almost a page of broadside
on the subject. The publisher was now
really excited. He called on the poet again.
1T will not do, he said, very decidedly,
Ito let this thing go on any longer. =
How does the book SELF" asked Longfei-
low. fAmazingly-the sake is already
equal to the combined sales of your other
books" Then, said Longfellow, II
think we ought to be thankful to these
critics. Let them talk. Seems to me
they are giving us a large amount of
gratuitous advertising. Better let thea
alone" And let alone they were.-Chi

THE CASPIAN CHANGING ITS LEVEL.
At the Beginning of the Christian Era 1t
Was Level with the Ocean.


At the Beginning of the Christian Era 1t
Was Level with the Ocean.
The Caspian sea lies eighty-five feet
below the level of the Black sea, and is
the greatest body of water in the world
lying below the sea level. 1t is remark
able not only for this fact, but for the
changes that have occurred in its level.
About the First century of our era there
Is no doubt that the level of the sea
stood eighty-five feet above its present
horizon, and of course spread over a
vastly more extensive area than at
present. The Russian Geographical
society has printed a treatise, written
by N. M. Philipof, on these remarkable
changes of level. Since the early part
of the Christian era ageneral and grad
ual decline of the level of the sea has
taken place.
In the Eighteenth century, however,
there appear to have been a few
periods when the level rose. From the
beginning of the present century there
has been a fall, but since 1865, judging
from recent observations, the level has
been higher. Lieutenant Sokolof, a
naval officer, while working in the Cas-
plan region from 1843 to 1S4S collected
much information. He found that in
the present century the level had stead
lily fallen, just as in the last century it
had risen, causing great apprehension
among the inhabitants of an inunda-
ton and giving rise to the belief in
periodical variations every thirteen
years.
Lerch, while in Baku in 1874 and
1747, found submerged buildings which
had stood on dry land thirty years be-
fore, and he mentions a saying of the
Persians that the sea rose and fell al
ternately every thirty years.
Mr.. Philipof has made special study
of the whole question. Inquiring into
the causes of these changes of level, he
finds a variety of influences at work,
such as wind driving the water toward
certain coasts, temperature of the air
causing in summer evaporation and
consequent fall in level, and in winter
cold producing a rise in level Rivers,
rain and earthquakes are also among
the active agencies, causing fluctua-
tions from month to month and from
day to day. -Goldthwaite's Geograph
ical Magazine.

Better perhaps, than any of the single
temperaments would be mixture of the
sanguine and the bilious; and, indeed, all
the examples of special life storage which
| have net with have been of this heredi-
tary admixture.
The organism which is best constituted
for life storage is, therefore, capable of
being identified. and stands out, so to
speak, in its own colors The color of the
iris, or curtain of the eyeball, always an
excellent test, is light hazel; the hair
is dark brown; the color of the skin is in
clined to be forid, and the lips and eye
lids are of good natural red-never pale,
as IN the pure nervous temperament, and
never of dark blush tint. as in the lynn
phatic or Emphatic bilious. In this
mixed temperament of the sanguine and
bilious, preponderance of the sanguine
is, | believe, always an advantage.
The qualities here enumerated, as repre-
scented in an organism well fitted for the
storage of life, are absolutely of heredi-
tary character. They spring from com
binations of parentage. and when the
combinations are unalloyed by the intro
duction of any disturbing elements of
disease, the conditions for long storage
are fortunately combined DR. Benjamin

Yet. with all the advantages of canned

This idea has arisen from the fact that

Personalities of Iron.

After a series of laborious investiga-

that protectives of the class of tar and

are among the best. The small guam

frequently occur in tar and tar prod

the car, while the other parr is fixed
below the spring An adjustable pin
is carried by the top part, and the bot

why Some People Married.

The reasons that some men give for
having married some women are only
to be surpassed by the reasons some
women give for marrying some men.
There was the man who married his
wife because she was left handed, and
it amused him to see her sew with the
off hand, as he said. There was the
young woman who married her hus-
band because he was fat, and was so
handy to sit on her books of autumn
leaves in the fall and press them. Then
there was another woman, presumably
not so young, who finally married the
man who had courted her faithfully
for eleven years, because, as she after
ward accounted for it, The had wore
