OUTS THE WIND.
An Illustration OF How n Yacht May AZ.
Complish Ihts Feat.

toHilish ! hts fe1t.
Ever vacht>man knows that a ship
can sail faster than the wind: that is
to say. if the wind Is blowing ten
knots an hour. Il ship may be making
twelve or fifteen knots an hour. Now,
il j. obvious that il the ship is sailing
straight before the wind it cannot, at
the utmost. travel faster than the
wind itself Is hlowing-as matter OF
fact. it will travel much more slowly.
If, on the other hand. the ship is sail
ing al an angle with the wind, il
seems At first sight that the wind must
act with less effect than before, but as
matter of fact the ship not only
sails more quickly than before. but
more quickly than the wind it.
self is blowing. Let us consider the
difficulty in the light of the following
experiment: Place n ball at one side
of the billiard table, and with the cue,
not he'd in the ordinary manner, but
lengthwise from end to end of the ia
Bile, shove the ball across the cloth.
The cue here represents the wind, and
the ball the ship sailing directly before
it; the ball of course travels at the
same rate as the cue. Now, suppose a
groove in which the ball may rolFbe
cut diagonally across the table from
one corner pocket to the other. If the
ball be now placed at one end Of the
groove and the cue held horizontally,
parallel with the long sides and moved
forward across the width of the table
rs before, the ball will travel along
the groove land along the cue) dag
onally across the table in the same
time as the cue takes to move across
the width of the table. This is the
case of the ship sailing at an angle
with the direction of the wind. The
groove is considerably longer than the
width Of the table. more than double
as long. in fact. The ball, therefore,
travels much faster than the cue which
imrels it, since it covers more than
doublc the distance in the same time.
1t is in precisely the same manner
that a lacking ship is enabled to sail
faster than the wind.

THE ONLY WAY OUT.
An Apt Illustration OF the Futility o.
Lying,

There is only one way ont of dishon-
esty, and that is to tell the truth. The
process of Lying out of it," SO called,
is only sure way of getting more
deeply mired. This is well illustrated
by story borrowed from the Chris
tian Secretary.
A man of doubtful reputation was on
his way home one night, and came
across pile of planks which for some
reason had been unlOaded upon the
roadside. He couldn't-or thought he
cOuldn't-resist the temptation to steal
one of them.
lie could not go through the village
with it, and SO took a cut across the
fields. BY and by, in the gathering
dusk, he wandered into a bog hole and
sank in the mire. The more he strug-
gled the deeper he sank, until getting
alarmed he cried Justify for help.
His shouts brought neighbor with
q lantern.
why, Jones, what does this mean?'
asked the good Samaritan. "How in
the world came you here?"
Il was in hurry to get home" said
the thief, and SO cut across. Then
got into this bog. The more | tried
to pull myself out. the deeper got in.
and finally | went back to the road and
got this plank to see if / couldn't get
myself out with that"

Electric Lights.

A Vienna professor gives it as his
opinion. after much research on the
subject, that all delicate persons and
those who suffer from nervousness
should never remain long in room
lighted by electric lights, its effect on
the nervous system being such that
after awhile they generally become un'
easy and depressed and find it impos
sible to concentrate the attention fOl
any length of time. Young persons
on the contrary, and those with strong
nerves find the influence of the light
extremely beneficial, especially when
the brain is overworked and tired, the
effect being much the same as that OF
strong Coffee. e., increased activity
OF the nervous system.

Some of the oldest equine habits
which horsemen ever imagined are to
be found in lands AUDITING on the
home of the Arabian, but where he
himself is not to be found; though, in
deed, the Arab himself has enough of
oddities. The Kurds ride tree COW
cred with plated straw, quite fat and
padded with blankets. This they
never remove from their horses, ex-
cept occasionally to dry it out. The
horse is kept saddled day and night,
summer and winter. This seems in
credible. but is literally true. In
Turkestan the horse. under his saddle,
is covered with the Biblical number of
blankets, seven, which he likewise
wears at all times, and which are sup
posed to sweat him out and keep him
in condition.
