An unusually Light Yeicht.

Florian Grzibelz, from Pless, in Sile-
STA, boy of seventeen, has been ex-
amined by the ARCHAEOLOGICAL society
of Berlin, Prussia, respecting his weight.
lie is too light for his size, so that his
body sinks only half down in the water.
In fact it would seem impossible to
drown him without attaching addition
al weights. With six pounds attached
to his feet he sank in water to the
shoulders; with ten pounds to the eyes.
Fourteen pounds were required to make
him sink entirely under water. The
young man weighs about one-eighth
less than the normal weight of man of
his stature

Antoine Nelson, Colorado cowboy,
lassoed an eagle few days ago. Mel
son was riding over the prairie on his
little COW pony with his lasso tied to
his saddle, when he saw the eagle fly
ing ahead of him quite close to the
ground. lie started his pony on run
toward the bird, and when short dis
ance away threw his rope, which settled
over the eagles neck and under one
wing, and he succeeded in getting the
bird to the ranch house alive. The
eagle measured eight feet from tip to
tip of its wings

Jamaica,s Troplca1 plants.

One of the finest displays of large
sized specimens of tropical plants which
will be shown at the exposition will
come from Jamaica. Col. C. j. Ward,
the special commissioner from that
country, has been one of the most en-
thusiastic commissioners in the interest
of the fair, and has been unceasing in
his efforts to have his country properly
represented. The flora of the island is
as rich and varied as any of the tropical
islands of the world, and naturally the
plants and fruits will be of first impor-
lance in its exhibits: At an carly date
the extensive botanical gardens were
established and put in charge of well
trained Englishmen, who are not only
experienced botanists, but experts in
the knowledge of propagating and
growing plants Fortunately for the
department of horticulture, the
plants have had special preparation for
distant shipment, and Col. Ward has ar
ranged with the steamship companies
to transport them to American ports
this summer.

A Hawk KILLED by Geose.

A hawk flying over the premises Of a
farmer near Buck Creek, Ga, CHANGED
to see a goose grazing afar off from the
flock. Thinking this would make him
a nice meal, he flew down and attempt
ed to carry the goose off to his long
home. But the goose resisted, and the
other geese hearing his cries flew to the
rescue, and the hawk soon lay dead
upon the ground

Poisoned bv Scrofula

Is the sad story of many lives made
miserable through no fault of their own.
Scrofuls is more especially than any
other a hereditary disease, and for this
simple reason: Arising from impure
and insufficient blood. the disease To-
Gates itself in the lymphatics. whi,h are
composed of white tissues; there is a
period Of foetal life when the whole
body consists of white tissues. aud
therefore the unborn child is espec-
tally susceptible TO this dreadful disease.
But there is a remedy for scrofula,
whether hereditary or acquired. 1t is
Hoods Sarssparllla, which by its pow
erful Effect on the blood, expels all trace
of the disease and gives to the vital
fluid the quality and color of health. II
you decide to take Hoods Sarsaparilla
do not accept any substitute.

Women Who Inspire Others.

A writer in the London Spectator
speaks of that kind of man whose very
presence in a room seems to stimulate
bring out all that is brightest and best
In each. The writer also speaks OF the
opposite kind of men, whose presence
seems absolutely to depress what is
bright and good-to have a deadening
influence. He might also have adduced
only we do not expect a paper in a
weekly journal to be exhaustive-that
kind of a man whose companionship
makes man do, which is better than on
ly to say, what is best in him. And he
might have mentioned the stimulating
power of making men work, hope and
persevere, which is possessed by some
women. This kind of woman is much
rarer than formerly. l believe, says
Walter Besant, because SO many wom-
en-, born with this power of encourage
ment-women whose highest gift is the
power of heartening men-are them
selves trying to do badly what they
should have encouraged others to do
well and nobly. The man who makes
men do their best is found in successful
schoolmasters in good overseers of
works and among employers of labor of
all kinds. OF men whose very presence
is a stimulus / have known many. At
their approach the whole intellectual
level is raised perceptibly; everybody
brightens. This is not theory, it is a
thing that, once stated, is recognized at
once; it is plain fact. Such men ex-
ist everywhere. There is not a college,
a regiment, society Of men anywhere,
that has not such men could name
half dozen in various and very differ
ent positions whoa I have myself
known.-Boston Transcript

They show q Rapid Advance Along the
Road to Success.
May Wright Sewall, of Indianapolis,
discusses the National Federation of
clubs in the Arena The idea, she says,
originated in 1855 with the general
officers of the woman's council The
following year, Sorosis issued invita-
tons for a convention of clubs to cele-
brate its twenty-first birthday ami
versary. About fifty clubs in the United
States sent delegates The question
here took definite shape, and'a meeting
for organization was held in New York
in April, 1890, eighteen states being
represented The first biennial meeting
held in Chicago in May, brought to-
gether representatives from nearly 300
clubs in thirty-two states. Most Of these
women were of the conservative"
home-staying class, who have never
been identified with public movements
Years of experience and development
are illustrated in the club life of New
York. Sorosis, the first woman's club,
the Ladies' New York club and the
Woman's Press club have altogether 600
members Besides these are many
minor clubs, with art music, philan-
thropy or social interests for their OBJ
iect The working women of New
York have twenty-four clubs, with
1850 members, with club-rooms, Ii
braries, etc The New England club,
of Boston, was organized about the
same time as Sorosis, and Julia Warde
Howe has been its president for TWEEN
ty-one years. To the efforts of this
club are due the horticultural school
for women, woman's educational and
industrial union, and various similar
organizations. The agitation for the
Latin school for girls, the school suf-
frage law and the appointment of wom-
en- on school committees originated
with this club, which is noted also for
its literary work and social influence.
Boston is now city of club women, it
being the fashion whenever two or
three are gathered together for any
purpose to form club.
The New Century club, of Philadel-
phia, an outgrowth of the Centennial
exhibition, owns one of the finest club
houses in the country. Men are admit
ted to associate membership, but can
not vote. The Philadelphia women's
clubs are legion. The club idea was
slow in gaining a foothold in the south,
but it is now making rapid develop
ment. Georgia leads in number, while
New Orleans has the largest and most
influential club with well-appointed
club house. Many of the southern clubs
are composed of both men and women
Women's clubs are still in their in
fancy, according to the Arena writer's
who tell US they are destined to be an
ally of the higher education, to be
schools of philosophy and agents of
philanthropy. The clubs of the future,
Mrs. Livermore thinks, will be COM
posed of both men and women, drawn
together by mutual respect and similar
tastes. Together they will study polit-
ical economy, municipal government,
scientific charity, compulsory and uni
versal education, the labor question,
and the other social problems that even
now are crowding aside purely aesthetic
