People Who Fall Safety,

A fall, as rule, Injuries drunken
man much less than q sober one, be-
cause the controlling power of the
mind being rendered nil through intox-
ication. the body fallsas an inert mass,
and thus the chances of injury are less
ened, for, strange though it may ap-
pear, it is no less fact that the most
numerous cases of injury arising from
fall are caused by the effort, yolun-
tary or otherwise, to avert the conse-
quences, thus strsining the muscles
and tendons. Very rarely are injuri-
GUS effects from fall known in luna
tic asylum, for the same simple reason
the mind has no influence over the
action of the body. And 1t is a re-
markable and well-known fact to those
who have to deal with such cases, adds
the Boston Herald, that whatever in
juries are so caused heal much more
rapidly than in the case Of sane peo-
pie, the mind having more to do with
petarding or assisting natures efforts
than is generally known or realized.

GOOD FORM TO Be SOLEMN.
SO the Engiishman Il Only 'Appy Away

from 'Oms.
What an utterly different being an
Englishman is when lounging on the
terrace of hotel at Cadenabbia or on
the deck of a yacht on the tideless sea,
from the same individual on the terrace
of the house or sauntering in the park
on Q fine morningi He not only looks
unlike himself, but is everso much bet.
ter looking, says London Trrth. 4, His
garments are more picturesque, but il
is not only that. His features relax
into an expression of unconscious sat
isfaction with things in general which
almost approaches to amiability.
OF course, true gentleman would
naturally regard himself with contempt
If he ever permitted himself to look
really amiable or pleased. Except in
tete-a-tete with pretty woman or
while enjoying good game of romps
with children, such thing would be
thoroughly bad form. It is one of
'Arry's social mistakes that he orius
when he is pleased and wears chronic
smile If he happen to be q Qood-tem-
pered man. The men Of our class and
upward refrain from any such insane
exhibition. especially when at home,
dams 1eur lie.
1t has often amused us to watch an
English boy while at the adolcscent
period of life mastering this accom-
plishment. He perceives that his male
elders have cultivated what Carlyle
called cheerful stoicism. They listen
to the funniest story without q smile.
unless the narrator Is a person whom
they rejoice to honor or like to please.
They make their gre etings without re-
laxing an iota of the gravity which
serves them as mask. The boy, in
initiating them, suffers many an in
ward spasm in endeavoring to render
his emotions outwardly invisible. He
catches himself smiling at something
iudicrous, but immediately conquers
himself as he sees that his elders are
grave OF demeanor If he should so
far forget himself as to exhibit any
pleasure or animation in circumstances
where it would be only natural to do
80, but in which the seniors set an ex-
ample Of undemonstrative calm, he
whips himself inwardly with lash Of
self-scorn.
During his transition period he de-
spises women and girls, because they
laugh when they are amused and some
times cry when they are distressed.
He would rather hurt the feelings Of
his mother or sisters than make the
slightest display of gratitude or kindli-
ness. In fact, he is disagreeable, and
a very uncomfortablei individual for the
time being. Often when he frowns IL is
only that he has no other way Of pre-
venting himself from smiling.

SOME WONDERFUL INKS.

Curious Facts Coicerning Thee Known
and Used by Frenchmen.
Rabelais complied a curious list Of
inks of sympathetic nature, which
were largely in vogue in his days. In
his book, entitled "Pantagruel," he
makes his readers acquainted with
Panurgue's exploits in trying to de-
cipher the invisible characters of q
letter in which q Partisan female had
written to Pantagruel. ''He held it up
before the fire." says Rabelais, ''to see
II it was written with spirits of am
monia mixed with water. Then he
placed it in water to see if the writing
had not been done with sirup of tithy-
NAL. When this would not work he
held 1T over candle, which would
have brought the characters out had
they been written with the Juice of
white onions. BY rubbing a part of It
with nut oil he tried to find whether it
had not been written with the sap of a
fig tree. And If frogs blood had been
used in the place of ink the milk from
the breast of woman suclsling her
frst-born daughter would have be-
trayed the secrets Of that letter"
While in Rabelais' time during tho
seventeenth century French people ad-
hered strongly to the belief that sympa-
thetic inks of this character could be
and were used, they are now in high
feather over the discovery Of luminous
ink by one of their own countrymen.
This ink makes it possible for letters
to be read in the dark. One Of the French
journals recently gave the recipe for
this ink. A phosphorescent compound
can be obtained by celebrating carbon
ste Of chalk with sulphur.
Messrs. Peligot and Becquerei, both
of whom gave this matter great deal
Of study, say now that the yellow glow
can be obtained by adding to the
above mixture from one to two per
cent. of peroxide Of manganese. To
make the writing appear In . green
light 1t Is necessary to mix with tho
above little carbonate of soda, and
for the blue from one to two per cent.
OF . bismuth compound may be used.
BY porphyrizing those phosphores-
cent substances and adding to them q
small quantity OF linseed oil, the mix
ture can be used for topographic inn
pressions from which plates can bo
printed, which. exposed to the light in
the daytime, appear luminous at night.
