Cantain Harry North.

Captain Harry North, the elder son
of the Nitrate King" is as unlike his
father as a son could we'll be. The opin-
ion that young North will play ducks
and brakes with his fathers millions
has been expressed, but few things are
less likely to happen. Mr.. Harry North
is not exactly the sort of young man in
whom the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation delights, but he is one of the
class known as steady" and has i'm
bibed good deal of his fathers shrewd-
ness in business matters without adopt
ing the loud and famboyant methods
for which the colonel" was famous.

Holes In the sai1s For Speed.

The statement of an Italian sea cap
tain that he had proved by experience
that ship goes faster when her sails
are perforated with number of holes
than when they are quite sound, was at
first looked upon as too ridiculous for
consideration. Unbelievers, however,
now find that the Italian has gone a
long way toward proving his case. His
theory is that the force of the wind can
not fairly take effect ON an inflated sail,
because of the cushion of immovable air
that fills up the hollow. To prevent this
cushion collecting, he bored a number
of holes in the sail, which let part of
the wind blew right through it and al
lowed the remainder to strike against
the canvas and exercise its full effect.
Several trials have been made, and it
looks as if this is another of those para
doxical truths which appear so impossi-
BILE on the surface. The experiments were
made in all weathers In light wind
q boat with ordinary sails made knots,
while with the perforated sails she COW
cred 5 Il knots; in fresh breeze she
did knots with ordinary sails and so
knots with the improved sails; III
strong wind she did and 10 knots re-
spectively. If this augmented speed
were sustained throughout long voyage
it would increase the value of the ship
one-fifth, as she would make the same
trip in four weeks that she did before in
five weeks.-Boston Transcript.

M. cERNuscHl DESCRIBED.
His Fortune 81 Bit Mysterious. but His Use
of 1t Admirable.

The death of M. Cernuschi causes a
wide gap in a social sphere of which
the rastaquCuere world knew nothing.
One found in his house the pick of Pa
risian society without the faint OF fash
ionable levity or plutocratic "swag-
ger. :" Everything there was what it
professed to be, and the best of its kind.
Cernuschi disliked advertisement.
There was touch Of Monte Cristo in
the man and his establishment. One
felt that his career was honorable
through and through. Still, the origin
of his great fortune seemed to many a
mystery heard ages ago that he made
it in Tunisian concessions and loans.
He once told me that, after he had
climbed to the possession of ESQ, 900. he
lost it all in bad speculation, and was
SO poor that he was glad to find place
where he could dine for % sous instead
of 81 sous.
1t was said that there never was a
woman in his life. This was mistake.
He was strongly attached by gratitude
and admiration of all intellectual char
acter to Mime. Cornu, the later Emperor
Napoleon's foster sister. She got him
through the pontifical prisons after the
fall of the Roman constituante, of
which he was a member. Her influence
was exerted in his behalf when he went
into financial enterprises here.
There never was a truer friend to
his friends than Cernuschi. One had no
need with him to proclaim ones virtues.
He saw through them-and through
ones faults too-but struck a balance,
and when it was on the side of virtues,
overlooked the defects.
I think never saw handsomer man
than he was 90 years ago. He was as
1.-the as a greyhound, had a keen but
kindly cOuntenance, a grand though
quite natural air, and very tall figure,
on which was set beautiful head,
with shock of hair that rose rebel
liously and yet gracefully from the
forehead.
He was very much the artist, but
could not draw stroke. His japanese
collection had no match in or out of
Japan. Cernuschi was perhaps the hand
soonest thing in it. He was brought up
at the Jesuits' school at Monza, but
was so surfeited with Christian art as
to lose. all taste for it. He used TO sit
often for hours looking at his bronze
statue of Buddha and adlairing its be-
nign expression. 1t was II feet high

The Bugle on uen-of-war.

Many of you know what an impor-
tant part the bugle plays in military
operations On shore; how it assemblies
vast bodies of men, deploys them for
battle, regulates their fire and sounds
the charge which even dumb animals
understand and obey in a desperate rush
for victory. The voice of the commander
gives the order, but since his voice can
reach only those near him the bugle takes
it up and carries it in piercing notes to
the most distant ear.
So, too, on board of man-of-war
the bugle is used to make an order pen
citrate the uttermost parts of the ship
from deck to hold, from stem to stern
and from quarter deck to masthead.
From morning till night it is calling
officers and men to routine duties, and
in battle it is directing nearly every
movement and inspiring them to their
utmost endeavor -Lieutenant John M.
Ellicott, U. S. N, in ST. Nicholas.

The Oldest rosebush in the world is
found at Hildershiem, a small city in
Hanover, where it energies from the
subsoil of the Church of the Cemete-
nv. It's roots are found in the subsoil,
and the primitive stem has been dead
for a long time; but the new stems
have made a passage through crew
ice in the wall, and cover almost the
entire church with their branches for
a width and heigth of forty feet. The
age of this tree is interesting both to
botanists and gardeners. According
to tradition, the Hildesheim rosebush
was planted by Charlemagne in 1888;
and, the church having been burned
down in the eleventh century, the
root continued to grow in the subsoil.
Mr.. Raener has recently published
book upon this venerable plant, in
which he proves that it is at least three
centuries of age. It is mentioned in
poem written in 1890, and also in the
work of the Jesuit, who died in 1878.

An Eccentric Pianist.

After an interval of IA years London
has again heard the pianist D'Albert,
whose nationality is SO great puzzle
He has French name and was born in
Scotland. His mother was English and
his father, well known dancing mas
ter, was the son of a captain of French
artillery and of German mother, whose
ancestors were Russianl Though edu-
Gated in England, he adopted Germany
as his country, and wrote savage re-
marks about the British barbarians. F"
At his temperance in London there
was little or no applause" when he
first came on the stage, but matters
mended gradually, and his greatest sue
cess was won with Liszt's don Juan"
fantasia, to the great disgust of the crit
les. who cannot understand why edu-
Gated audiences the world over, and
great pianists likewise, should be SO
fond of List. One of the critics says
that save for a full grown mustache
D'Albert is much the same boyish figure
which he presented in 1882.-New York

woman is a strictly domestic person, as
his ideal man is stout soldier. His lit

lives. Concerning these lives a sketcn
says:
In the Spartan upbringing of his chill
dren the kaiser rivals his ancestor,
Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia. Accord
ing to Klausmann' S ssLeben in Deutsch-
en- Kaiserhaus, the life of the royal
children at Berlin is not sweetened by
hours OF Inactivity. In their years OF
infancy the kaiserin ministers to almost
all their wants, spends a good part OF
the day with them, and enters into all
their amusements When the princes
arrive at the age of 8 things are all
changed and it is all work. They are
then allowed about an hour and a half
out of their waking hours to themselves /;
all the rest OF their day is spent in study
and physical training. Even in holiday
time their tutors accompany them to
superintend their studies.
Here, for example, is an ordinary

two brothers. In summer the happy
dreams of childhood are disturbed at 6

are hard at work at lessons, to help the

with second frauhstuck Of bread, with
water tinged with red wine. Immedi-
ately afterward they start on their books
again, but mental exercise is mixed
with physical, and an hour is spent in
gymnastics and horse exercise, which
lasts till 1 Is. Thereupon they accom-
pany to dinner the military and civil
governors of the castle, and, following
this, they have brief breathing time
to themselves. But the happy moments
soon fee away and again they have to
be at their exercises-this time science
and music till O'Clock. Then supper is
served, and by s o'clock they are all
snug in bed.
In sport and other manly exercises
they are proficient and can ride as well
without a saddle as most people can
with. Their military education is also
pushed to the utmost, and that they

elbow fast does electricity travel?"
The above question is frequently ask
ed in every day conversation, but is
seldom answered to the satisfaction
of the querist. Wheatstone says that
the speed of electricity from point to
point along a proper conductor is prac-
tically instantaneous. Various at
tempts have been made to ascertain
the exact number of miles which the
current will travel in given length
of time. According to the most reli
able estimates which such expert
mentors have made, it's speed is not
less than 114,000 miles per second
