In 1905, Southey writes, says Harold
s. Scott in The Atlantic, "Coleridge is
at last arrived" (from Malta and italy,
little improved in health of body and
not at all so in health Of mind. He Is
grown very fat-which he attributes
to disease, and his wife believes 1t;
the fact is that he is always eating and
drinking, morning, noon and midnight;
hardly ever without rum and water
beside him, sugared to the utmost-and
If he Is not talking he must be eating.
His mouth seems incapable of being
at rest. If he does not sleep at night,
up he gets for cold meat and spirits
and water If all this does not kill a
man, 1t must needs fatten him.
"As you may suppose, he Is very en-
tertaining; but, whether 1t be that he
is really worsened or that after 80
long an absence the thing becomes
more striking, never saw human
countenance express such intense and
loathsome arrogance Of self admlra-
ton. 1t is Mt times quite fiendish. His
humor Is now to be orthodox because
he has made out some metaphysical
argument for the Trinity. In short, l
feel more than ever admiration and
astonishment at his intellect and more
than ever grief and indignation at all
that 1t Is coupled with"

Setting Moody Right.

Among the stories treasured by the
people of New York's east side Is one
about Dwight l.. Moody, who once
conducted revival meeting at the AL
len Street Methodist church. At the
close of an unusually eloquent talk
Moody said to his audience, "Now,
how many persons here are Christ
tians"
Instantly there was a mighty stir,
and every man, woman and child In
the crowded house stood upright.
Moody was visibly impressed and said
in tones of greatest satisfaction, I'm
all my thirty-five years experience l
have never seen such showing"
At the close of the meeting the pas
tor of the church took Moody aside
and said: II say, Mr.. Moody, you
don't want to be too pleased over that
showing. Down here there are only
Jews and Christians, and the people
wanted you to understand there
wasn't a Jew among them" - New
York Tribune.

KinEly superstitiOns.

Kingship has been kin to superstition
always. James 1. of England was su-
perstitious about dates, and there were
remarkable condolences in his life
with certain dates Of the calendar. The
day Of the month on which he was
born was strangely interviewer with
the days of birth and marriage of his
wife and some Of his children and their
wives. But James was an old fool who
made love to young Buckingham, who
laughed in his face and robbed him OF
his jewels.
Napoleon was superstitious about the
way he put on his stockings. Frederick
the Great and the great Peter Of Rus
sia were superstitious about dozens OF
things. Marlborough, both as Jack
Churchill and the duke, was superst1-
tious as we'll as thief and traitor.
Nearly all the Stuarts were supersd-
tious and double dealers in religion.
Henry Of Navarro was superstitious,
but that never kept him from a thou
sand infidelities. All the children of
Catherine Of Medici were scared to
death by their superstitions, but they
could lie, cheat and murder just as
well. If Cromwell was victim of su-
perstition, he kept it to himself.-New

ONE HORSEPOWER.
How This Unit Of Mechanical Force
Came to he Adopted.

How This Unit Oh mecnanlc0A COrcS
Came to he Adopted.
When men first begin to become ia.
miliar with the methods Of measuring
mechanical power, they often speculate
on where the breed Of horses is to be
found that can keep at work raising
81, 900 pounds one foot per minute, or
the equivalent, which is more familiar
to some mechanics, of raising $50
pounds 100 feet per minute. Since 49,
900 pounds raised one foot per minute
is called one horsepower 1t is natural
that people should think the engineers
who established that unit Of measure
ment based it on what horses could
really do. But the horse that can do
this work does not exist.
The horsepower unit was established
by James Watt about a century ago,
and the figures were fixed in curious
way. Watt found that the average
horse Of his district could raise $4,000
pounds one foot per minute. At that
time Watt was employed in the manu-
facture of engines, and customers were
10 hard to find that all kinds of arti-
ficial inducements were necessary to
induce power users to buy steam en-
gines. AS a method Of encouraging
them Watt offered to sell engines reck-
bning $4,000 foot pounds to a hYsepow-
er. And thus he was the means Of CIV
ing false unit to one Of the most I'M
portant measurements In the world.

Poor Sinners BELL.

The poor sinners bell is bell In the
dty of Breslau, in the province of
6ilesia, Prussia, and hangs in the tower
of one Of the city churches. 1t was
cast July II, 1886, according to historic
records. 1t is said that great bell
founder Of the place had undertaken
to make the finest church bell he had
ever made.
When the metal was melted, the
founder withdrew for few moments,
leaving boy to watch the furnace
and enjoining him not to NEEDLE with
the catch that held the molten metal.
but the boy disobeyed the caution, and
when he saw the metal flowing into
the mold he called the founder.
The latter rushed in and, seeing as he
thought his work Of weeks undone and
his masterpiece ruined, struck the boy
q blow that caused his immediate
death. When the metal cooled and the
mold was opened, the bell was found to
be not only perfect, but of marvellous
sweetness Of tone.
The founder gave himself up to the
authorities, was tried and condemned
to death. On the day Of his execution
the bell was rung to call people to at
tend church and offer prayer for the
unhappy mans soul, and from that 1t
obtained the name Of "the poor sinners
hell"

Fishing For Ducks.

In India an ingenious scheme is prac.
ticed for taking ducks on line, which
is attached at one end to flexible stick
stuck up in the mud, the other extrem-
ity having a double pointed needle or
bone attached to it. The latter is bait
ed by stringing upon it some grains OF
corn. Presently along comes Mr.. Duck.
swallows the needle and finds himself
captive the moment he tries to ny
away. In olden times the Cape Cod
fishermen depended largely for bait up
on the seafowl they took on their voy-
ages. To catch them they threw out
fishing lines with hooks on the end, to
which were attached chunks OF COD
liver. The latter floated because OF the
oil they contained, and INJURIES, gulls
and other birds swallowing them were
quickly pulled in, skinned and chopped

Terrific Thunder,

The largest rainfall on earth has been
recorded at Chera Punji, on the bay OF
Bengal, but the most violent thunder
storms ever observed are probably
those of French Guiana. At Cape Or
ange, some forty miles south of Cay
enne, a French naval officer saw the
rills of the coast hills turned into wa
terfalls by a cloudburstlike storm,
while the crashing thunder peals were
incessant and often almost deafening,
SO much so, indeed, that some of the
sailors began to mutter long forgotten
prayers, probably thinking the day OF
Judgment near at hand.

How Clouds Get Their Fringes.


Professor Tyndall used to explain to
popular audiences, with the aid Of a
brilliant experiment, that the blue col
or of the sky is owing to floating par
ticles Of invisible dust that break up
and scatter the short waves, which are
the blue waves, of light. This, as a
writer In knowledge shows, occurs
principally at great elevation. where
the atmospheric dust is extremely fine,
while in the lower regions of the air,
where the dust Is coarser the scatter
ing affects all the rays, or colors, alike.
The brilliant fringes Of clouds, seen
nearly in the direction Of the sun, are
largely due to dust, which especially
accumulates in the neighborhood of
clouds and refracts the sunlight around
their edges.

Roast Peacock.

In the old days a peacock was per-

prepared by first carefully removing
the skin without losing the feathers.
The fowl was then dressed, stuffed

and finally sewed into its skin, still re-

TRIBUTE TO ENGL1sHMEN.
Jockey Says He Always Found Them
To Be True Sportsmen.


London, Nov 2O.-The American
jockey Danny Maher, who sailed on
the Celtic yesterday for New York, has
the record for the highest average of
victories in an English turf season.
II have been more or less restricted
by physical conditions in securing
mounts which believe would have
increased my average" said Maher
yesterday, tbut I am quite satisfied
with log victories out of 400 mounts.
/ must say cannot always sympathize
with the complaints some of my fell
low American jockeys have made
against English turf methods. As
far as am concerned have always
found English racing men to be true
sportsmen, and If I have had any
trouble at all it has been with Ameri-
cans quite as often as with English
jockeys.
MY racing season had number Of
peculiar features; for instance, the fact
that won five of the most. important
races on Rocksand and that never
lost a race with him. This is prob
ably without precedent. I had al
most equal success with Flotsam, on
which beat my old mount, Rocksand,
in the most sensational finish Of the
season. As these two horses are now
the fayorites for the Derby in 1908,
and as believe they are the best two
year-olds in England, hope to bring
one of them home first in that race
my victories in the Eclipse stakes,
value $4,000, on Cheers, and in the
Champion stakes, value $4,000, on
Rabe1ais, both at Sandown, helped to
make up the sum Of 100000 which I
secured for my employers during the
season I propose to remain in the
United States until March, when l
will return to England to ride for Sir
Daniel Cooper, Sir James Miller and

They are Ready to Meet the Cadets or
Any Other Local Team.

Any Other Local Team.
no the Editor of the Democrat:
3 We noticed in last nights Democrat
q letter to the sporting editor of your
paper from t. Morse, secretary of the
st Thomas Junior Cadets stating that
the Moonlights backed out of playing
the Cadets on two occasions, and that
the Cadets would play the Young
Elms on Thanksgiving day for the
Juvenile championship of the city. We
wish to state that on the first Sunday
our players went to the Brooklyn A.
C.-Pastime game, the deciding game
for the championship of the city, so
we mad to call the game off. On the
second Sunday the st Thomas Cadets
crawled out of playing US. for when
Manager Dennis Kelly arranged the
game with Eddie Curley of the Moon
lights he said the Cadets wouldn't play
outside of the Rye lots. so the Moon
lights agreed on the Rye lots, and Man
ager Kelly came over at half-past 1
Sunday and asked the Moonlights to
play at the trotting park, after saying
they wouldn't play outside the Rye
lots. The Moonlights wanted half car
fare to play at the trotting park. or
they would give the Cadets full car
fare to play at Waterville Manager
Kelly wouldn't wait a minute to make
any kind of arrangements, but said the
game was OF; so it looked as if he
wasn't anxious TO play.
If the Cadets or any other team in
the city are looking for the champion
ship Of the city, it is our own team
they want to stackle, and there won't
be any hot air or playing through the
papers about it. for we viii take two
teams each Sunday, and every onescan
have crack at the Moonlights.
Now, If the Cadets are looking for
the championship of the city they can
have chance at it Sunday. for the
Mocllights will play the Cadets Sun
day and give them full car fare if
they will play in WaterviIle or the
frotting park. The Moonlights had
games arranged with the Rosedales,
Jewelry Streets, Big Sevens, and they
were called off for some reason OF
other unknown to the Moon1ights.

Precautions or Surgeons.

1t is an object lesson in goodness
to see surgeon washing his hands
after performing an operation. He
works, of course, with sleeves rolled
up to the elbow so that the washing
extends from the crazy bone to the
tip of the finger nail. First, there
is hard scrubbing with plain soap
and sterilized water. This is fol-
lowed by swabbing with tincture
of green soap and sterilized water.
Then comes a genuine securing with
equal parts Of quick lime and soda
in sterilized water and finally a rims

would think of venturing out to

Peculiarities by which the PhystoE-
nomist Recognizes a Persons
Characterization.

The ply siognomist divides the faces
into three so-called grand classes. The
ob1ong face, the round face and the
pyriform or pear-shaped face. The OBJ
long face is one which would fit more
readily into an oval than round or
pear-shaped diagram, says London
Spare Moments.
For mere physical beauty the oblong
or oval face has the highest standing,
and the artists who paint youthful
beauty eEdeavor to get what is called
the pure oval to the face. Individuals
with an oblong or oval face are natur-
ally of a strong and active nature, with
keen powers of perception and much
imagination. They are self-reliant and
persevering. They are not, strictly
speaking, highly intellectual, although
they are often talented. They are con-
slant in friendship and strong in their
affections.
The round face belongs usually to a
subject whose neck is short, shoulders
broad and round, chest full, and in
whom a tendency to stoutness in mid
die life is indicated by the plumpness
Of youth.
The round-faced woman very often
has small feet and hands. In character
the round-faced subject is Lively, anna
BILE, impu1sive and frequently fckle.
She lacks persistence and she loves
ease too much to do any serious and
patient Flooding, which we all know
is necessary to attain good results.
The pyriform face indicates the in.
tellectual type. The woman with the
pear-shaped face has high, broad
forehead. Her features are generally
delicate and finely modelled. Her neck
is slender; she is tall rather than
short; her chest is not broad-fre.
quently, on the contrary, it is narrow
She has intelligent eyes, and she never
appears to have, great physical endur'
ance
