HABITS OF THE MANATEE.
A Harmless Monster That Feeds Under
Water on Grasses.

A Harmless. Monster That Feeds Under
Water on Grasses.
The manatee belongs to a mammalian
order called sirenia, or seacows, which
contains only three species-our mana
tee, that of west Africa and the dugong
of Australia. As its clumsy form sug-
gests, it is an animal of quiet and even
sluggish habits, entirely harmless and
easily taken when once its haunts are
known. When at home, its food consists
of tender aquatic plants and grasses, al
ways eaten under water, and its presence
is generally revealed by the bits of bro
ken stems and grass which escape and
float TO the surface above where it is
feeding.
In captivity it feeds on cabbage, let
tuce, the leaves of the Gamma, celery
tops, watercress, spinach, and also GER
tain kinds of ocean seaweed. In the St.
Lucie river it's favorite food is a luxuri-
ant, trailing aquatic grass, called man
aztec grass, i'll which the manatee finds
not only good food, but good hiding
places from it's human enemies.
The bones of this animal are massive,
will tell you its bones are "solid ivory'),
and its skin is as thick and tough as
that of hippopotamus. I have seen
very good canes made of strips of man.
atee skin, twisted like lightning rod
and dried Its flesh is very good, and,
to me, it tastes quite like lean pork
Curiously enough, this strange creature
actually sheds its Outer skin every wear
as does serpent. The living specimens
that from time to time have been cap
tured and kept for exhibition in Deme-
rara, Philadelphia, New York and Lon
don have in all cases been of small or
medium size, varying in length from
to feet. The one which was shown in
the Central park menagerie in 1878 was
6 feet 8 = inches in length and weighed

The Contagion of Ideas.

Affirmation, pure and simple, with
out reasoning and without proof, is one
of the surest means of planting an idea
i'll the popular mind. The more concise
it is, the more free from every appear
ance of proofs and demonstration, the
more authority it has. The religious
books and the codes of all ages have al
ways proceeded by simple affirmation.
Statesmen called upon to defend any
political cause and manufacturers adj
vertising their goods know what it is
worth. Yet it has no real influence, eX-
cept it is constantly repeated and so
far as possible i'll the same terms. Ma
poleon said that repetition was the only
serious figure i'll rhetoric. By repetition
an affirmation is incrusted in the minds
of hearers till they at last accept it as
demonstrated truth. What is called the
current of opinion is formed, and then
the potent mechanism of contagion
comes i'll. Ideas that have reached GER
tain stage, in fact, possess a contagious
power as intense as that of microbes.
Not fear and courage only are cOntagi-
Gus. Ideas are, too, on condition that
they are repeated often enough.
When the mechanism of contagion
has begun to work, the idea enters upon
the phase that leads to success. Opin-
ion, which repealed it at first, ends by
tolerating and then accepting it. Tl5
idea henceforward gains penetrating
and subtle force which sends it onward,
while at the same time creating sort
OF special atmosphere, a general way of
thinking. Popular Science Monthly.

Since succeeding the above-named firm,
whose entire stock, fixtures and good will we
have purchased, we have remodeled the cele-
brated Braddock Distillery in all Its APP
purtenances, until it now stands without a
rival as one of the most complete plants in
the United States for the manufacture of a
perfectly pure all-rye Whiskey for medicinal
or other purposes, free from fusel or other
poisonous oils so frequently found in less
reliable goods.
We have testimonials from leading phys
icians IN all parts of the country commencing
the paddock for its medicinal properties
Among the latest is one from Professor
J. III. Mallet. the distinguished chemist of
the University of Virginia, who, at our re-
quest, made a very careful analysis of it, and
writes as follows;
The sample of Braddock sent me upon
analysis contains no sulphates nor heavy
metals such rs "copper" lead or zinc and APP
pears to he sound, genuine whiskey, free

from all deleterous foreign substances and
free to a more than usual extent from anylic
alcohol"
Ask any physician his opinion of this
analysis.
We take great pleasurein recommending the
Braddock Pure Rye to all seeking or desiring
to obtain an absolutely pure rye whiskey as
beverage or for medicinal uses. Ask your
dealer forit; don't be induced to take some
thing else. If he does not keep it, order di-
rectly from us.
A prominent physician of Macon, Ga,
writing us a few weeks ago, says:
In point of purity, flavor, strength and
delicate tone, | have never seen your Brad
dock Pure Rye equaled, and shall take great
pleasure in recommending it to my sick"
To those who are so unfortunate as to be
sufferers from indigestion, dyspepsia, or any
pulmonary trouble, we beg to recommend

of religious freedom and of the equality

Higginson in The Ladies' Home Jour

influences, they ordinarily came by con-

for development than the elder because
they had more freedom to develop them

She had been reared in the school of
Locke, which regarded the human soul
as blank paper, on which parents and
teachers did all the writing. But her
children We're of strong and varied inGi-
viduality, and she learned in time to
study the temperament of each and be
patient with its unfolding. Her whole
formula Of training consisted in these
three things: To retain the entire conf

ed wisest and to be patient. Her trust
in Providence was absolute and control

of the Deity.
Most valuable of all her traits to her
children next to her quality of sunshine
was probably her absolute rectitude, the
elevation Of her whole tone, the COM
plete unworldliness, so that no child of
hers ever heard her refer to any stand
ard but the highest. With all this was
combined the conscientious accuracy in
affairs, the exquisite nicely in all house

One of the Three.

A bold and fearless statement was
made III this column few days ago
touching beauty. 1t was put forth that
there were only three actresses on earth
who could lay an honest claim to beauty.
"Clara NJ. " writes that her curiosity
has been aroused and wants to know
who the three are Now, it would be
very ungallant to say. The statement
has all the actresses in the world guess
ing, and until the names of the three
are mentioned each of our footlight
tayorltes will believe she is one of them.
Why spoil their fun? What is the use of
calling names to make people feel in
iured and sighted and misunderstood?
| do not doubt that Miss Clara M, if
she be an actress, could lay an honest
,laim to recognition as one of the three.

DEEPEST WATER EVER FOUND
Some spots have recently been found
in the South Pacific ocean where the
water is deeper than anywhere hither-
to known.
The surveying ship Penguin, while
returning from the Tonga group to
New Zealand, has sounded in three
places where the depth exceeds 500
fathoms. Up to the present the deep
est water found was to the northeast
ward of Japan, where, in 1874, the
United States steamer Tuscsrora OBJ

The Peguin's soundings are 5,022,
6,147 and 5,l55 fathoms. The Increase
is, therefore, five hundred fathoms, or
less thousand feet.
These soundings are separated from
one another by water much less deep,
aud the holes may not be connected.
The distance from The two extreme
soundings is four hundred and fifty
miles. Specimens of the bottom were
recovered from the two deeper sound.

These soun6ings afford additional
evidence of the observed fact that the
