The position of the men below decks
on modern vessel Of war, they being
isolated by the watertight hatches and
doors, has been frequently commented
upon, but their position is not always
so hard as has been supposed. On the
Brooklyn, during the fight before San
tiago, Admiral Schley sent orderlies
among tho men behind casemates and
below decks telling them tho effects of
the shots and how the fight was going.
When the chase of tho Colon began, the
orderlies went down to the stoke holes
and engine room and told the men
there that the race had begun and ev-
erything depended upon them. The wis
dom Of the action was partly shown in
the outcome. me.-Argonaut

An Austrian professor estimates that
only 800 persons out of 1000, 900 die
from old age, while 1900 succumb to
gout, IS, 400 to measles, 2,700 to apo
plexy, 1000 to erysipelas, $500 to con-
sumption, $4,000 to scarlet fever 25,-
900 to whooping cough, 80, to ty-
phoid and typhus and :, 900 to rheuma-
tism. These averages of course vary ac-
cording to locality. Smallpox does not
even get u place in the list. Was this

"A SAD NIGHT"
How Carlyle and Leigh Hunt Diff

How Carlyle and Leigh Hunt Diff
fcrcd Even About the Sky.
Leigh Hunt and Carlyle were once
present at small party of equally we'll
known men. It happened that the con-
versation rested with these two, and the
others sat, well pleased to listen. Leigh
Hunt talked on in his bright and hope
full way, when Carlyle would drop some
heavy tree trunk across his pleasant
stream and bank it up with philosophio-
al doubts and objections at every inter-
val, but Hunt never ceased his joyous
anticipations nor saturnine Carlyle his
infinite demurs. The listeners laughed
and applauded by turns, and now fairly
pitted them against each other as the
philosophers of hopefulness and unhope-
fulness. Tho contest continued with
ready wit, philosophy, pleasantly and
profundity and extensive knowledge OF
books and character.
The opponents were so well matched
that it was quite clear that the contest
would last indefinitely, bat night was
up. They all sailed forth, and. leaving
the close room, the candles and the ar
guments behind them, found themselves
under most brilliant and starlight sky.
They looked up Carlyle can have no
answer to this, thought Hunt, and
shouted: "Therel Look at that glorious
harmony that sings with infinite voices

The school has received enough sub
scriptions to justify them in going
ahead with the lecture course. Next
Friday the first number will be given.
The Schubert Quartcttc will entertain
on that evening. Now, all people who
love music should attend this, also
those who don't, (if there be any such
peoplc). "Music hath charms TO soothe
the savage beast" some one has said.
Let all come and enjoy this feast for the
soul.
After this will come the lectures by
world-renowned men. What do we go
to lectures for? To learn now things,
grasp new thoughts which will make
us nobler men and women. Some one
may say, "Why they say things / have
thought of myself Perhaps they do,
but they put that thought into pleas
ing polished sentence, and it comes to
us with clear forcible light, stimulat-
ing within us now thoughts along with
the old, and revealing the old in a
broader and palmer light.
The persons, especially the young
people, who say, ''Oh, do not care for
lectures, they are too dry and prosy,"
what future can you predict for such?
He who appreciates beauty wherever
found, whose soul is thrilled by the ex-
hibition of talcnt i'm Whatever form-he
alone may some day hope to be not
merely the artists fond admirer. but
the artist indeed. He who is eager to
learn and become spiritually and intel
lectually elevated will expend his
greatest effort and place himself in con-
tact with the leading minds and advanc-
ing spirit Of his age.
Many young persons life has been
altered by impressions received in a
good lecture. Realizing what good re-
suits may be otained from good lectures,
we will show our sympathy with this
movement to bring to Reynoldsville the
best American talent by contributing
libsrally our presence on the chosen
dates.

success. The old saw, Faint heart never

as in any other. II you are too faint
hearted to try, how do you ever expect
to be able to express your thoughts in
written form? The people who scan
our work with critical eye will not be
very severe in their criticisms, because
they know that we are but amateurs
and have not the polish of professional
art. II your pieces are altered some-
what, do not feel insulted, for it is all
for the best. II our frail attempts at
composion always were printed in the
same words in which they are written.
they would sometimes be very sad spec
linens OF our English tongue. Again
we ask all to endeavor and try to help
us put before the public respectable
column from the High School. Any
thing from an essay to local will be
gratefully appreciated by US.
Some OF the scholars think that be-
cause three of the Seniors are on the
board that the column is especially for
the benefit Of the class of 80. This is
a mistake, as all should know, because
the editors were elected by the school.
If you have anything you want pub
lisheS, hand it to any one of the editors
and, unless it is joke too strong against
any person, it will be published. Re-
member that we are not respecters of
