ANTHONY TROLLOPE.
Miseries and IrritatiOns Incident
Upon His Start In Life.

Upon HIS start In Life.
Anthony TIollope's start in life was
unprOmising. AS he knew no Ian
guages, ancient OF modern, he became
classical usher at school in Brussels,
the Austrian army. Then he was sud
denly transferred to a clerkship in the
London pOstotfice. He was disqualified
for the new position by general igno-
rance and special incapacity for the
simplest arithmetic. A vague threat
that he must pass an examination was
forgotten before it was put into execu-
ton, and Trollope Enthusiastically
takes occasion to denounce the system
Of competitive examination by which
he would have been excluded. Mean
while he was turned loose in London
and attempted to live like gentleman
on ESQ year. The results are indicat-
ed by couple of anecdotes.
A money lender once advanced him
"a. for which, first and last, he paid
f2O0. This person, he says, became so
much attached to him as to pay daily
visit to his Office and exhort him to be
punctual. '"These visits were very ter
rible and can hardly have been Of serv-
ice to me in the office" This mild re-
mark applies also to the visits from the
mother of young woman in the coun-
try who had fallen in love with him
and to whom he "Iacked the pluck to
give a decided negative" The mother
used to appear with basket on her
arm and an immense bonnet upon her
head and inquire in a loud voice be-
fore all his companions, Anthony
Trollope, when are you going to marry
my daughter
No wonder that he was miserable.
He was hopelessly in debt and often
unable to pay for a dinner. He hated
his work, he says, and he hated his
idleness; he quarreled with his supe-
riors. who thought him hopelessly in
capable and felt that he was sinking
Ito the lowest pits" At last he heard
Of a place in the Irish postoffice which
everybody despised and was successful
on applying for it, because his masters
were glad to get rid of him. At the
same time they Informed his new supe-
rior that he would probably have to be
dismissed on the first opportunity

A General Theory Of Machines.


In the Complies Rendus of the Paris
Academy of Sciences M. Koenigs has
printed q sketch Of general theory Of
mechanisms. Every machine consists
of a number of material bodies, re-
sistancns, Joined together reciprocally,
upon which natural forces act to pro-
duce q desired effect, and the effect
may be either a state of rest or one Of
motion. The resisting bodies and their
connections are the mechanism. Its eff
feet is not known until we define the
acting forces. The same machine will
produce different effects according as
different forces play upon it.
Machines are subject to three ef-
fects-static when the forces produce
equilibrium; kinetic when the result Is
motion, and, finally, associative when
the connections of the machine are
changed. The latter effect Is usually
not considered, but it is essential to
take it into account. A machine could
not be built, in the first place, unless
it was capable Of dissertation. In some
machines-locks,f for instance-the parts
are ASSOCIATED every time the appa-
ratus operates. 1t Is desirable to de-
sign most machines, however, so that
the associative effects do not come in
to play during their operation.

Beware of the Cold Bath.

The cold bath in the morning is not
80 popular as it was formerly. There
is much energy expended in the Ne
action and just at the time of day
when this energy is at its lowest ebb.
Then, too, cold water has very little
cleansing effect Very hot water
stimulates the nerves, which is the ef
feet that we are seeking from the cold
water, while it does not demand the
energy Of reaction of the latter. The
duration Of the morning bath should
be as short as possible longer
than the mere application Of the water
to the skin, followed by a brisk rub
bling. However, many prefer cool
sponge bath in the morning, and If
this is followed by warm glow and
feeling of we'll being it certainly is
beneficial. Many people are not strong
enough to react we'll. A hot bath at
night is most cleansing and restful.
General bathing must be regulated by
individual peculiarities. - Emma E.
Walker, Nj. D., in Ladies' Home Jour-
nal

A DUEL AND A JOKE.
Count BeAi de Castellane's First At

Count BGbAt de CNstellane's F1rst AZ
fair Upon the Field of Honor.
Count Boni de Castellane's first duel
was when he had just come from school.
Lad as he was, he could ride, shoot and
handle a sword, but he was still very
young, very bashful, rather green. At
the club to which he had just been adj
mitted some of the men, whom life
made cynical, began to guy him. 1t
was easy to stir up his anger, for they
chartered scandal about a woman he
knew. He pulled over the table and
struck one Of the men. The next day
he received challenge. In good faith
he selected two good clubmen as his
seconds. In all this the club fellows
saw only a joke, and when the ar
rangements were hurried and the two
opponents stood face to face in mead
ow near the Seine the pistols were

gether. The clubman gave a great cry
and fell to the ground grooming.
Hes fatally wounded-dying! the
seconds exclaimed, choking with laugh

De Castellane felt the heart in him
run away like water. He had killed
man. 1t was not possible!
Dead" he asked anxiously.
EYES," said the corpse and sat up
grinning.
The schoolboy looked at the laughing
clubmen and saw the joke they had
played on him. He stopped, and caught
the corpse by the ankle, dragged it
bit and with a sudden jerk tossed it
ten feet into the river.
"Then I'll bury it." said he.
AS the clubman crawled from the
river, dripping mud and water, they de-
cided the joke was on him.-Saturday

Both Rather FIfppant.

There is a curious parallelism be-
tween two stories told respectively of
the late Mr.. Spurgeon and Of Dean
Swift.
Mr.. Spurgeon, on hearing Of the dev-
astation wrought by an earthquake in
Essex, merely remarked, Il am glad to
hear that my county is moving at
last"
The dean Of st. Patrick's, Dublin,
was watching with friend the roof
of a building on which several men
were at work fixing states. Suddenly
one of the men vanished. Thereupon
the dean turned to his companion and

He Was Selfish.

An Arabic anecdote illustrative Of
the subtleness Of selfishness, which
enables it to glide into the heart of a
saint, is told of the holy Mohammedan
Sakati.
He said that for twenty years he had
never ceased imploring divine pardon
for having once exclaimed, "Praise be
to God" On being asked the reason
for such persistent praying he answer
ed:
"a fire broke out in Bagdad, and a
person came to me and told me that
my shop had escaped, on which I ut
tered those words, and even to this
moment 1 repent of having said so, be-
cause it showed that wished better
to myself than to Others"

THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
One of the Ancient Seven Wonders
of the World.

One OF the Ancient seven wonders
of the World.
The ancients succeeded in making
that alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders of
the world was the famous statue, Who'll
ly made of bronze, historically known
as the colossus of Rhodes. 1t repre-
scented Phebus, the national deity Of
the Rhodians. It was begun by Chares,
a pupil Of Lysippus, the sculptor, and
was completed by Laches 29S B. c..
The popular belief is that it stood
astride the harbor of Rhodes, that it
was 1O5 feet high and that ships could
easily sail between it's legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
it's thumb. It was cast on metal plates,
afterward joined together, and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was a spiral staircase reach
ing into it's head, and in great mirror
suspended to it's neck were reflected
the coast of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After it had stood for sixty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and it's remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that is, until
A. D. 672-when they were sold by the
Saracens to Hebrew dealer. The
original cost was 800 talents-say, &c.
OOO,0OO-and it is not too much to say
that a similar image might be con-
structed now in one-fourth of the time
and at one-third of the original cost.
Rhodes, by the way, must have had
colossus on the brain. for Pliny relates
that the port was adorned with 1000
colossal statues of the sun.

A Little Too Late.

a great wish that an old couple should
become teetotalers, but they were in no.

pressing, however, they consented to
try the experiment, but laying down as
a condition that they should be allowed
to keep a bottle of "Auld Kirk" for
medicinal purposes.
About fortnight after John began to
feel his resolution weakening, but he
was determined not to be the first to
give way. In another week, however,
he collapsed entirely.

THE MODEL.
LADIES:---A rare treat awaits
you if you have not yet been fitted
with a pair of "SOROSIS' shoes.
Almost.

Little Archie Hogan very narrowly
escaped drowning on Wednesday
afternoon. He was skating just above
the bridge, when the ice gave way and
he went into ten feet of water. He
came to the surface and grabbed for
the ice, but failed to hold on. The
hole was very near to the open water
at the mouth of the mill race. Anton
C'Ole") Niles, an employe of the mill,
was attracted by his cries and those of
the children with him. He plunged in
to the water and rescued the little fell
low, more dead than alive. 1t was
heroic act.
