story, when Westinghouse presented him
self and his air-brake TO Commodore Van
derbilt the latter said; Don't come TO
me, young man. I've no time to waste
on ID fools, who think they can run
cars on wind" Thus rcpused, the young
inventor sought another market, anC
found it, Thereupon Commodore Van
derbilt revised his opinion of the air-brakc
and sent for Westinghouse, VINO refused
to obey the summons, Tetorting; I've no

If Youth Only krew.

It seems to me that the suburban VII
lagos and country towns bear the same
relationship TO cities that the corners OF q
ballroom bear 10 its animated centre.
often they who sit in those corners can
tell more about he gay assembiage than
the assemblage itself is conscious Of. The
loOkcr-On is more apt 10 criticize the
scene than is one of It's actors. Which
train Of thought was set going by the
lamentations Of a friend of mine as she
sat rocking in her own particular corner
the other day; lady so bright, so pretty
and so alert that l hestated to apply 10
her the distressing epithet which she
claims.

at is even sad settling down 10 neutral
tints in dress though youth could be the
color for age-G youth only knew and
only would. Age Is Il double misfortune
in these days; ! read and hear in all
quarters that this is the young peoples
century. Let the young people have
their swing. The old folks must settle
down TO the neutral tints in lie. 1t
seems to occur to so few young people
that they themselves viii ever be any
thing but young. Why i'm my day there
was at least one compensation for age
ripeucd judgment and experience, and
wisdom for which youth asked and by
which youth was benefited. Now the
cry is: odd fogy," and you have had

a Crew OF Denf nIntes.

The schooner Mary and Belle is prob
ably the only vessel in the world that
is manned by crew that is deaf and
dumb. The schooner is not a largo
vessel by any means, being about
seventy feet long, but she is neat
looking craft and her decks, spars and
rigging look in much better condition
than those of many other vessels whose
crews can speak the language to the
queens taste. The captain of this
craft, George Bennett, is most intel
ligent-looking man, apparently fifty
years old. Ho is alive to all that is 90
ing on around him and seems to eniov
his silent and speechless life. The
crew." Charlie Malone, is also deaf
and dumb. These two deaf and
dumb men manage the stanch
schooner Mary and Belle admirably.
They arc always on the lookout and
sleep with one eye open, as good sailors
always should. When they are caught
in heavy squalls the captain cannot
shriclS out his commands but simply at
tracts his mans attention by whistle
and then tells him what he wants bv
signs, while he sticks to the wheel.
