Hiram Masin's Youth.

When Hiram Maxim, tho famor3 in
ventor, lived in Iangcryllle, anxious
mammas used to warn their hopefuls
not TO play with that wicked Maxim
boy" In fact, young Maxim grew up
under the doubtful reputation of being
the very worst boy in the neiglborhood.
This isn't said fer the purpose Of en-
'couraging any other Maine incorrig'blea
who are in the depths of their mi3daeds.
If Hiram had been a perfectly gcJj lit
tie boy and had devoted bis time to
studying his lessons, he might have had
that flying machine all completed by
this time.
Hiram used to work at carriage
painting in Abbot aud was hired by
ID. ID. Flynt. He was an artist with the
brush. One day man called. to SEQ
Flynt while the latter was ont. There
has been man i'm to see you" said
young Maxim. Whats his name?"
II don t know, but that's how he
looks, and the boy pointed to board
on which he had roughly daubed a face
II forget to ask him his rame," said
the boy, land so drew that" Flynt
knew his man.-Lewiston journal.

He does tricks with cards and can
juggle things, continued the girl in

and her cheeks pinkish. AT luncheons

muff and finds his gloves in my jacket
pocket. Ifyou hand him a glass of water,
he'll turn 1t upside down and ask you
blandly why tho water doesn't run out.
At home he makes life miserable for me.

He balances parasols, guitars, vases

A public kitchen for the working
classes was inaugurated in 1865 by q
German woman, Han Morgenstein. She
has established many of these kitchens,
each one having public dining room,
comfortably warmed and furnished and
supplied with the daily papers. Each
kitchen, supplying perhaps from 800 to
400 people with daily meals, is managed
by local committee, the whole scheme
being under the control of central
council. All the paid cooks are on the
premises by @ in the morning, and tho
vegetables and meat have been brought
in before them.
Waste of any kind Is strictly forbid
den. A subscription of SO, ESQ was sufii-
cient to start this scheme; the reserve
fund set aside for providing new kitch-
ems increases each year, while the
council pays fair wages and is able to
pension off its old servants. For sum
varying from 0 to cents the Berlin
workman can obtain "A satisfactory meal
at any of these restaurants. A dinner
for cents allows basin of thick, sub
stantial German soup, plate of vege-
tables and a plate Of pudding, and
roll of bread in addition costs a little

A French chroniclei has collected
some very curious statistics on subject
that has interest even outside Paris. He
was anxious to know how several select
ed great men furnished what we should
call their dens, what no calls their
workrooms. To gain access to all the
rooms was not easy, but fortunately
many of them were photographed, and
SO the evidence was complete. The
chronicier's leaning was evidently to-
ward men of letters, and his results are,
on the whole, surprising Daudet's S
study was severe in its simplicity, the
furniture the scantiest and the plainest.
That of Dumas had few pictures ON
the wall, small panel pictures, and ON

prizefghter at little girls paper doll
party. But the sweet sense of security
which pervades the place is not without
its insurance clause, SO to speak. Even
Wayne might be invaded by reckless
tramp bent on securing square meal or
(horrible as the thought is TO the Wayne
ites) by a nocturnal prowler seeking to
enter and rob happy home. And then,
too, the business hours of the day find
its adult male population away in the
city, and the women have not their nat
ural protectors at hand.
Therefore each family has a huge tin
horn on which a mighty blast can be
sounded as an alarm when aid is needed
to repulse tramp or to fight the fire
fiend. At first the alarms were frequent,
because the children could not resist
testing the tin horns at unseemly hours,
but meeting of the council fixed q fine
of % on false alarms, and now, through
the agencies of repeated spankings and
also of hanging the horns too high for
the children to reach, no more false
alarms come to startle the community.

nounced Me.'n-tony as pleasant recog-

THE GREAT PACIFIC.
The Advantage of Circle Sailing on nm rea
of Water So ynst


OF Water So Vast.
The Pacific is the great ocean of our
planet. In comparison with IL the
north Atlantic is mere strait and the
Indian ocean nothing more than tho sub
merged bench of n congeries of drowned
islands. Along the line of 20 degrees
south latitude the width of the Paci fic is
1876 degrees of longitude, over one-third
of the circumference of the globe. Be-
tween 1t and the south polar continent
nothing intervenes. Its northern ex-
tremity was probably at one time round
ed off by the country which is now di-
vided between Alaska and Siberia.
When tho glacial masses moved to the
pole. the polar current Glove its way
through Behring straits and interposed
Behring sea between the Pacific and
the polar ocean.
II presents every form of ocean geog-
raphy. At the two extremities 1t is shall
low. There Is bench running along
the Aleutian islands into the gulf of
Alaska which comes within 100 fathoms
OF the surface, with occasional holes 80
deep that no apparatus can find the bot
tom and he recovered without breaking
the wire, and there is corresponding
bench in the southwest portion of the
sea west of the meridian of 1870 degrees
where 100 fathoms is also the average.
Between this last bench and the latitude
of 8S degrees north there is range of
submarine rocky mountains with steep
cliffs and sharp descents. Three or four
distinct mountain ridges with from two
to three miles of water between them
have been counted between the Ha-
waiian Islands and Australia.
On the Pacific can be found every va
riety of temperature and meteorology.
Out of Behring sea pours the icy cur
rent which cools our shore in summer
from the equator flow GUNNER currents
warmer than the Atlantic gulf stream,
while the current which sweeps around
the south cape of Tasmania bears on its
bosom the longest icebergs ever seen.
As it's name indicates, it is n pacific
ocean, swept by gentle trade winds, but
the most terrible typhoons described in
meteorological records have varied the
chronicles of its placid surface.
On sea Of such extent circle sailing
must become a matter of moment. The
Canadian steamers, sailing from Yoko-
hama in 30 degrees to Victoria in 40 de-
grees, cross the meridian of 100 degrees
In 80 degrees, having covered 1900
miles ON the voyage, while the Pacific
Mail steamers, sailing by what appears
on the map to be tho straight line, have
to cover 4, 100 miles between San Fran
cisco and Yokohama. Assuming the
vessels TO be equal in speed and to steam
at the usual rate of scugoing steamers
on the Pacific, the Canadian line enjoys
an advantage of about 36 hours oven
the American lines. This is reduced al
most to nothing when our ships purusC
the northern course and take the advan-
tage of circle sailing.-San Francisco
