How 1t Feels to Fall.

The Swiss Alpine climber, Sigrist,
who once fell from the top of the
karpfstock, in Switzerland, described
his sensation while falling as follows:
The plunge, which was taken back

the anxiety such as one has when one

In the most pleasant manner gently

from all pain or fear, contemplated
my position and the future Of my fam
lily, which I knew was assured by the
insurance I carried. And, this conten-
plation was accomplished with rap.
idity which / had never before known.
OF the losing of my breath, Of which
people talk, there was no suggestion.
and only the heavy fall on the snow
covered ground caused me to lose sud
denly and painlessly all consciousness.
The bruising of my head and limbs on
the rocks as I fell caused me no pain.
In fact, Il did not feel it. 1 cannot con-

LITERARY MEN LIVE LONG.
Authors nave Equ.l cs.ansa. Viii, e,.t, s.

Authors Have EquaI Chances with Others
TO Reach Old Age.
The general idea that literary pro-
dnction of a high order is hostile to
long life by reason OF the nervous wear
and tear it necessitates would seem
to be erroneous. Scott wore himself
out at the age Of 81 by excessive work,
and Dickens, no doubt, lived at too
high pressure possibly the same
might be said OF Thackeray-b but in
the great majority Of cases literary
men possess that balance which avoids
nervous exhaustion, and the literary
life Is wholesome and normal one.
In our own country the average life OF
twenty mine leading writer's from Jona-
than Edwards down, is sixty-six years.
In nearly every case, too, their produc-
tive powers have remained unimpair-
ed by old age The short life OF Edgar
Allen Poe is, Of course, not to be attrib-
uted to the fact that he was a writer,
fnut to the nervous worry resulting
from false pride and shame at being
unable to resist temptation. Bayard
Taylor worked too hard and Lanier
/
was broken by exposure in the civil
war. DR.. Holmes and Whittier enjoy
ed the longest lives of any one Of our
writer's, each passing his 8eth birth
II day. Emerson, Longfel1ow and Bry-
ant lived long and tranquil lives and
very feW-perhaps not one-of Amerf-
can can literary men shortened their lives
by excessive devotion to their natural
pursuit. The lives of great American
writers are longer than these Of their
English counterparts by nearly four
years, though two of the Eng1ishmen-
Carlys1e and NeWman-l1Ved longer
than any one Of the Americans. The
living American writer's who seem to
have done enough to entitle them to
admission to our literary Valhalla are:
Henry James, Brete Harte, Howells,

The arrest Of Admiral Mello In Rio
de Janeiro the other day on the charge
OF conspiracy against the government
recalls the story of a desperate and
dramatic exploit some years ago of
which he was the central figure. In
1898 Admiral Nello, says one familiar

calmly sending wd drd to President
Peixotto that he waited his resigna-
ton. When Peixottd recovered from
his establishment he tpld him to go to

the city under blockade. Rio lies on
the inner side Of a large bay, with a
very narrow entrance. There were no
guns at the town heavy enough to do
the big battleship any damage, but at
the harbor mouth there were two forts
that could easily blow her out Of the
water. So De Mello had really sailed
into a rat trap, stalking. everything on
the chance of blufing Peixotto. out.
He could not shell Rio on account Of
foreign interests, and for three solid
months he circled round and round
the bay, trying repeatedly 10 make a.
