WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-No one wouli
have been surprised if the great silver figh1
had killed q number of senators. Tht
strain. both physical and mental, was tire
,mendous and long continued. Not only
the night sessions coming after the day ses
fsions, but the whole progress of the fight
for two or three weeks has been full of pres
sure and Of demands upon the strength Of
those most actively concerned. Then came
on the long, tedious sittings and the effort
OF certain senators friendly to the silver
side to consume time by speeches Of unex
ampled length.
There was Mr.. Allen of Nebraska, who
accomplished the remarkable feat of talk.
ing for IA hours. During 1o Of these hours
he was upon his feet addressing the senate.
The remaining two hours were consumed
by the remarks of other senators or by roll
. calls in the effort to secure . quorum. Dur.
ing the whole "A hours Mr.. Allen never left
[ his seat or retired from the senate chamber
even for a moment. How he was able to
do this passed the comprehension Of even
the most experienced senators and observ-
ers.
A Terrible Ordeal.
Mr.. Allen is an athletic built man, tall,
straight and sinewy. He has a clean shaven
and clean cut face, the jaw of courage and
persistency, and physical endurance high
above the average. The remarkable thing
about his speech was that his voice appear
cd to improve in clearness and quality the
longer he talked. During the ordeal he
drank nothing but coffee and not much OF
that, only pausng occasionally to take a
sip. Mr.. Allenclosed his remarkable speech
apparently stronger than when he started.
But it was only in appearance. The excite
ment of the occasion, the frequent inter
ruptions of senators. the consciousness that
he was making q remarkable record, his
earnestness in the cause in which he was
engaged, all tended to buoy up his spirits
and to remove his thoughts from his physic-
a or mental fatigue.
Then came the reaction. For "a hours
Mr.. Allen did not make his appearance in
the senate chamber, and I hear his friends
and family were at first exceedingly anx-
ious over his condition. When he left the
senate, he found it impossible for a long
time to get to sleep, and finally opiates had
to be administered to him in order to in
duce restful slumber. The mans magnif-
cent physique and great vitality gave him
numerous recuperative powers, and in "a
hours he was back in his seat, pale and
nervous, but still ready for battle.
Many senators overestimated their
strength in this memorable struggle. They
believed they could endure more than was
found possible when the test came. A
number Of senator's who staid up two
nights in succession in the oppressive at

Perhaps popular medical literature Is partly to blame for the growing habit of oyernursing organs which are quite able to ostand ordinary work. Heafth articles are written by doctors, and these, seeing people only when they are III, forget that tho papers they write for--the family journals"-are read by men and women. especially women, who are perfectly well, Avoid pastry" writes the doctor, thinking of the confirmed dyspeptic who left his consulting room half an hour ago. and thereupon hun dred folks who were never a whit the worse for their tarts avoid pastry con scientiously and take to intending sago buildings, whose lnonotony their weary palate loathes. If we were to renounce all that we see or hear condemned as overstraining or misusing our digestive apparatus, we should probably take noth- ing but pepsin, with perhaps little milk to exercise 1t on.
 There are times when after a too rigid dieting the most mature of us longs for the green apples and raspberry tarts of youth, and such longing is an honest rebellion of the digestion against reg imen which keeps it weak for lack of proper exercise. To give fair and reasonable consideration to the food we eat is matter of common sense, but to make ourselves mentally the parallels of the monks of Mount Athos and concen trate our attention on all that we should avoid, is to lay ourselves open to the chance of indigestion as much as if we indulged every day in the banquets of Luoullus. .-London Hospital.

0reeIK PIrate,.

Recent declarations of the Greek newspapers that regular piratical or ganization still survives in some of the more out of the way parts of the Med iterranean receive certain amount of confirmation from the confessions of two men arrested in the PirRus on charges of piracy not long ago. The head. quarters of the band is said to be Aivali. and two dozen ships are said to he en- gagged in the business. The scene of their operations, it is further stated, is the coast of Asia Minor and the islands of tho Archipelago, and by means of false papers the booty is landed in Greece free of duty.
 Cattle stealing is the chief part of the enterprise, but 1t is said that vessels are also attacked Indeed the prisoners admit that very short time ago they, in company with others. attacked Greek vessel on the coast of Ephesus whose crew had gone ashore for water. killed the captain, who had remained on board, carried off the cargo, consist. ing of fifteen oxen, and sold the beasts on the high seas.
 The plan of the pirates was to rob outside of Greek waters. and within them to pose as honest merchants. That is why they have been able to practice their trade in security under the very eyes of the authorities. The piracy evi- dently has been on q small scale and of 8 most unromantic character, but the existence of it was unsupported. and a thorough investigation has been set on toot.--Detroit Free Press.

rrnnl,lln.s Exercise.

At time when so much attention is given to physical education, it is of interest to remember that Benjamin Franklin told John Adams that he made it point of religion to exercise When sixty-siS years old, Franklin wrote to his son as follows;
 Exercise to prevent diseases, since the cure of them by physic is 50 pre- carious.
 "The quautum of each kind of exer, else Is to be judged by the degree of warmth it produces in the. body rather than by time or distance.
 There is more exercise in one miles riding on horseback than five in coach. and more in one miles walking on foot than in five on horseback; more in walking ono mile up and down stairs than in four on loyei floor,
 This last may be lad when one is pinched for time. as containing great quantity of exercise in handful of minutes.
 The dum5bell is another exercise of the latter cnnperdious kind; by the use of it 1 have in forty swings qnickened my pulse from sixty to 100 beats in q minute. counted by second watch, and suppose the warmth generally increases wilh qpicknesS of pulse" Youths Companion.

Icebeycs tn CIit,erIpr Array.


 There are few ID Jre interesting things among the perils and wonders of tho ocean than ice5grgs They are interest ing not only for their gigantic size, their fantastic shapes, their exceeding beauty and their ability 10 cool great masses of water and air in their neighborhood, but also for the manner in which they array themseves
 Ieebergs often show a tendency to form both clusters and long lines, and these groupings may arise from the ef- fleets both of ocean currents and storms.
 Some very singular lines of bergs, ex- tending for many hundreds of miles east of Newfoundland, are shown on an iceberg chart issued by the hydrographio office in Washington. Two of these cross one another, each keeping on it's independent course after the crossing. In several instances parallel lines of bergs leave long spaces of clear water between them.
 The Prince of Monaco, who has taken a lively interest in experiments with floating bottles in the ocean, urges in an address to the British association, the desirability of more systematic study of ocean tides and currents. A record of the groupings and alignments of ice bergs in the North Atlantic might be of some use in such an investigation. Youths Companion.

The Cholera scare In Finland.

Abo town advertised for cholera doctor, and offered good salary. Not single application was received. al- though the place swarins with medical students Helsingfors advertised m a similar way and had two applicants Wherever you turn you hear advice to undergo no risk. One assures you that fruit must be avoided; another that you must keep your body well protected by fiannels, and third advises only boiled water as both drink and food. As a matter of fact. most families have adopted strict measures in regard to eat ing although can never think that the universal summer dish here. consisting of sour milk, with ginger and sugar can bo wholesome We are all very careful not to catch cold and to frequent baths.
 Outside Helsingfors are two large hos, pitals, with beds, nurSes, medicine, am. balances, etc, in perfect readiness. and there are besides 10 be diSinfectani sta. tions. and central medical depot in the middle of tlie town, where doctors are in attendance day and night The rail way officials have litted up special hos. pital cars, which have weird look. all in white, with big rcd cross outside. -- Eelsinsfors Cor.

A Precious Pussy.

A certain young woman of this town who dotes on cats was made the happy possessor not lcng ago of cat which was rescued from a sinking vessel in midocean. Sailors have superstition that a cat rescued at sea becomes a mas cot. This particular cat was the last living creature to leave the foundered bark Alumbagh, from which the life boat of the steamship La Champagne took of sixteen men on the morning of Aug. %. There was great competition among the passengers on La Champagne to obtain the cat, but a gentleman with B persuasive tongue and a long purse, who knew of the aforementioned young woman's hobby, secured the animal and presented it to her.-New York Times.

Science and Coincidence.

Is M. Pasteur really about to try ex. periments in cholera on human beings? 1t looks very like it. He has told the rorrespondentthathe has tried "choleraic vaccine" anhhimals, and has found that it completely protects them against truo oholeraia2<<us when introduced into the intestined& The virus caused ga real center testinal disorder" but did not eaul IAth. The experiments, how seyers a& unsatisfactory, inasmuch as sfhe effect on men and animals may not gefhe same, and although the vaccine has been tried on men, who have conse- quently escaped the disease, even Nj. Pasteur shrinlzs from introducing into them the true choleraic virus, Still science cannot be content without that introduction, and after failing to in- duce Russian prince to try the experi- ment Nj. Pasteur has asked Prince DaInreng of Siam, great admirer, to ''yaccinate a portion of the inhabitants in some of the villages, and so submit the whole question to a fair scientific inquiry" so as ito ascertain whether eholeraic vaccine introduced under the skin is a protection against intestinal cholera"
 Clearly, the Siamese villagers are to be tested in some more perfect way than Frenchmen would bear, and the addi- tional way is obviously tho introduction of the intestinal virus. At least, if it is not, Nj. Pasteur has done himself great injustice, or suffered one from Nj. dc Blowitz. We rather fancy that Prince Damrong will shrink from the experi- ment on villagers. as he might rouse a rebellion; but he may try it upon erin. inals, and in this case, if the experiment fails, NJ. Pasteur may have good many deaths upon his conscience. Intellectual curiosity seems, however, to suppress that organ. London Spectator.

Freneh Masons in rolitle..

The Freemasons have resolved to take 8 more energetic part in politics. At the last assembly in the hall of the grand orient of France the conduct of certain members was discussed who had shown disposition to act with the Clericals, Masonic deputies were censured for vot- ing endowments to church institutions. There were several protests, some con. tending that it was too soon to insis, upon the separation of church and state, as that would make the Radical party unpopular. These protests were booted down, and several Masons thereupon re tired from the order Carried on by thi, same spirit the Alasons passed a resolu ton to vote for all reforms necessary for the final evolution of the repubhc.' for the separation of church and state for the suppression of the public worship system and of the embassy to the Vati can, and that each Mason should have civil funeral
 There was a general insistance upon the complete secularization of every public institution, the removal of reli gious emblems from every court house and street corner, and the suppression Of ehaplaincies in barracks, ships, prisonj and hospitals.-Paris Letter.

 The pigeons used were of the Belgian strain, and high opinion has been ex- pressed of the utility of the birds for the purpose for which they were tried. r. has been suggested that the government should take the matter up and authorize the regular breeding and training of pigeons for this service.

When not long ago statement was made in The Author that there were fifty men and women in Great Britain and the states who were making q eco a year and upward by writir novels the statement was received with derisive laughter Fifty ypoyelists making q ,0yU 3 year? Ilnpossiblcl Preposterous! The statement, however, WIS made by one who knew what ho was saying 1t is a true statement; 1t represents the real prizes of tha profession
 There gre in London alone. 1t is said, 15.00O people who in some branch or other exercise the literary profession. Fifty of them by writing novels make over el.000 year. The number of men who actually live by the production of original work, apart from journalism in any of its branches. is comparatively small There are half dozen drama tists; about hundred novelists; few successful writers of educational books, which arc indeed mino of wealth # one can succeed, and few publishers hacks. The greatest prizes are those of the dramatists. - Walter Besant in Fo- ruin.
