Charles Dana Gibson,s Boyhood.

Mrs. Christine Terhune Herrick, in st.
Nicholas, describes the clever work that
@. ID. Gibson did as a boy in cutting fig
ures from paper OF his boyhood she
writes.
Until Dana was 10 years old he was a
rather quiet, stay at home little fellow.
He was full of fun of dry kind, and oc-
casionally there would come flash of sar-
casm that showed his wits were not con-
fined to his finger tips. AS be grew older
and became interested in outdoor sports
and made boyish friendships his paper
cuttings began to be neglected, and when
he was about Ia years of age he laid down
his shears. In their place he took up the
pencil
This slight sketch must close at the very
outset of Mr.. Gibson's artistic career. He
was only Is years old when he entered the
New York Art league as a pupil, and he Is
not yet 80. No one can say how much Of
his wonderful skill he owes to the training
In eye and hand he unconsciously gave
himself as boy, but 1t Is easy to trace in
his scissors silhouettes the power he pos
sesses In an eminent degree of giving a
picture In a few clear, telling strokes.
The direct vision of his childhood he has
never lost

SIXTY MILES AN HOUR.
Why This Is q Speed That Cannot 10
Maintained ON a Bicycle.

The general use of the bicycle by those
who know nothing whatever of mechanic cal
laws is productive of IA large and peren-
NAL crop of inventions, which, whether
the inventors know it or not, can succ eed
only by upsetting one or more laws that
are so well established and so certainly
right that any mechanical continuance
which attempts to get around them is "A
foredoomed failure Many men who would
repel with scorn the accusation of being
perpetual motion cranks are yet trying to
accomplish, and in some cases claiming to
have accomplished, things which are in
principle precisely the same; for it is lit
orally true that when a man imagines that
by the use of leverage" or by some "con-
traption" or "gimcrack" he can put one
man power into a bicycle and get out of
il four or five times as much in work
against wind resistance or in climbing
hills, that man is virtually perpetual
motion crank.
One mile n minute seems to be the ia
vorite speed of those who imagine their in
ventions are going TO "revolutionize" cycle
construction, and 1t may be worth while
to examine this little
A force equal to ole pound moving at
the rate of one mile in one minute is equal
to .16 horsepower. The pressure of wind
moving at the rate of go miles per hour is
variously given, but by no authority at less
than about 1915 pounds per square foot.
Assuming that rider and his wheel ex-
pose a surface of square feet to wind re-
sistance, we have for the power required
to overcome this resistance at the given
speed 10. D times times Is equals 5.04, or
a little over five horsepower. A man can
ordinarily exert about Il horsepower, but
for short time may exert five times as
much, which would still leave him far
short of the power required for pushing
himself through the atmosphere at the
rate of go miles an hour.
Improvements may be introduced that
will somewhat lessen friction, but fric-
tional resistance in the present machine,
when well made and in good order, is in
significant when compared with wind re-
sistance at high speed. Most of the con-
traptions heralded from time to time would
increase, rather than lessen, the FRACTIONAL
resistance, while they do not pretend to
affect either way the chief obstacle to high
speed.
If one could dispense with air-that is,
ride in vacuum, or in air moving at the
same rate as himself-there would be
scarcely any reasonable limit to the speed
possible to be attained with the present
machine, if sufficiently high geared, but
that would not be real cycling American

JEWS IN FRANCE.
The Regulations For the Race That Were
Put Forward by Napoleon.

A year later, after careful and mature
deliberations, there appeared an imperial
decree not only organizing the Jewish
church and regulating its relations with
the state, but defining the civil and polit-
ioal status of Hebrews. They were pro-
nounced to be citizens like other men, but
they could not exact higher interest than
8 per cent, while If they should demand
over 10 they should be punished for usury.
Every Jew in the northeastern depart
ment must have license to do business,
and a notarial authorization for pawn
brokerage. Any jew not domiciled at the
moment in Alsace might not thereafter ac-
quire domicile in that department, and
could do SO In others only by becoming q
landowner and tilling the soil. Every Jew
should be liable to military service, and
unlike his Christian fellow citizens might
not provide a substitute. Moreover, he
must adopt and use a family name.
This stringent law was rigidly enforced,
except In Bordeaux, the Gironde and the
Landes, where no offense had been given.
Its effect was steady and sure. Before
longCfirst one and then another Israelite
was exempted from its rigors, until finally,
in 1879, the department or the man still
subject to its provisions was the exception
and not the rule.
From that day to this there has scarcely
been in France what is known elsewhere
as the Jewish question. Hebrews are
found in every line of human activity.
They have the same civil, political and re-
igious standing as men of other blood and
confessions. They are illustrious in finance,
in politics, in science and in the arts.
They are, moreover, passionate patriots,
and to the casual observer scarcely distin-
guishable in mien and appearance from
other citizens. The temporary contraven-
tion of the civil code, both as to spirit and
letter, by the notorious decree above refer
red to has been so benefcont that it has
for the most part escaped any criticism or
even remark. of Napoleon" by

The italian BAND.

Paul had deep desire to visit Rome
and preach the gospel there. He finally
went in charge of a centurion of Angus
tus' band Cornelius, the first gentle
convert, was of the Italian band. Our
own church has had deep interest in the
evangelization of the people of Italy.
Multitudes in that nominally Christian
land have no idea of the forgiveness of
sins by faith in Jesus Christ and are in
spirit as deeply idolatrous and heather
as the veriest Hindoos In Boston we
have vigorous church among the Ital.
ians at the north end Not long since
30 families returned to Pentana, Italy.
Here they organized a Methodist church
and added 30 other families to their
number. Land was purchased, and a
building for worship will be erected.
Now when any one comes from Pen
tana to the United States he will be
ready for church membership and better
fitted for Christian citizenship in the
republic.
Helping our mission work in Boston
helps our mission work to the ends of
the earth. The same is true of our work
in all the great cities of the continent.

oveRwoRKED BABIES.
Tie Clover Ones Greater Sufferers Than
Their stupid Brothers.

People are always being warned against
talking to babies too much, but they keep
right on talking. Mothers whose children
are fed ON the minute and put TO bed ON
the second, who consider carefully every
question of food or air, or clothing, appar-
emily think very little about the danger of
overtaxing the baby's brain and delicate
nervous system. The old trotting and
rocking have gone out of fashion, but
wonder II even they were as bad as this
constant "amusingy" They say the child
must have il, for il cries otherwise, but
that Is only because 10 has come TO expect
1t, because it has been trained up In Is
from the first. A healthy small baby
ought TO DO content To lie and talk to its
own hands by the hour at a time. IL 1t
isn't, IL may very likely be because it has
been taught 60 expect constant excite
ment Like the opium eater, the more 1t
has the more it wants.
1t is good to keep children who have
come To depend on this unnatural excite
ment out of doors as much as possible.
The outdoor air soothes them, and the
outdoor sights and sounds interest with
out overtiring them.
1t is wonderful how children do take to
old Mother Nature. / know certain
small maiden, not yet year old, who
could not endure being left alone in a
room. 1t simply broke her heart. We
thought she would feel the same about
being left in her carriage out of doors
with nobody in sight, but one day In sum-
mer, when she was holding court under
tree near the house, ii happened that we all
left her q minute and, behold there was
no cutlery. She fell to cooling and talking
In the strange fairy tongue which babies
speak to the dancing leaves, and found
them quite company enough.
When the child is no longer baby,
when II can talk lispingly and begins to
make all sorts of funny remarks, then an
other danger threatens 1.-THE danger of
being shown off. / heard the other day of
a little Kindergarten boy who learned
quickly and sang the pretty German songs
delightfully."-, and every time he came home
he was assailed by each member of the
family with, "And what have you learned
today?' and every time any visitor came
to the house he was made to sing his
songs, which he did not unwillingly. The
result of it all was that he became danger
ously i'll. But even if children escape
serious injury by this system, their nerves
must be affected by it, and then again
they become such self conscious, unendur-
able little creatures. Surely 1t is safer to
lay down n cast iron rule against all such
exhibitions, even the simplest and most I'M
premeditated.-Jen Miller Monthly.
