The head Of the largest meat packing industry
IN the world. for many years, prior to his death,
never travelled without his physician; everywhere
ne was accompanied by his medical adviser: he
hired him TO- his exclusive attendance by the year
and considered the large salary paid for such ser
vice as part Of his business investment. He did
not DO this because he was a hypochondriac, in
constant fear Of illness and death; on the
trary. he was exceptionally robust man. but he
feahzed that the principal asset in his enormous
business was his own personal health. and to keep
physically ard mentally well and strong q

ART OF THE HOSTESS.
Tact and Discretion Needed That
Offense May Be Avoided.

From the New Orleans Ttmes-Democrar.
A good hostess knows better than to in
y,te her guests without discretion; in fact,
at no social function Is more tact required
than in giving dinner party. 1t has been
well said that in England the invitation to
dinner is the hallmark of social equality.
and the question Of who should go with
whom" Is Of more Importance than What
should 60 with what?" though bon vivants
may hold contrary opinion.
To bid the Goody- Goodys, the Thick
heads and the Borehams to meet the Smart
STAIRS, the Lions and the Meteors would be
like trying to mix oil and water, and would
invite disaster and failure. The former
would no doubt be charmed to meet the lat
ter but would the latter be equally charm
ed? Though saints take a wonderful amount
Of interest in worldly folk, the latter find 1t
difficult to get up a corresponding interest
in the saints.
1t is, Of course, very amusing to be taken
in to dinner by a wit, who has both the
ability and the inclination to make the
time pass pleasantly for one. but he Is apt
to degenerate into a nuisance If. in the dis
play of his oratorical fireworks, he makes
too great and exacting demand upon ones
attention. 1t goes without saying that a
witty and brilliant conversationalist Is a
delightful companion, pro tem-that Is. II
one prefers the feast of reason and the flow
of soul to the exquisite plats and chefs
d'oeurve Of an irreproachable chef-but il,
in listening to and absorbing the epigrams
and jeux d'esprit Of ones neighbor, one
fails to enjoy that perfect gallantine de
volatile aux truffes or the delicious asperges
au parmesan, the mind is fed at the ex-
pense of the body, and the dinner is abso-
lutelv wasted.
Twelve or fourteen Is a favorite number
for dinner party, but beware Of the fatal
thirteen, for even II you are not supersti-
tious yourself one or more of your guests
is morally certain to be- and as none of our
caterers undertake to supply fourteenth
guest, professional "dinerout'' at the last
moment, whenever and wherever required,
as is done in Paris, you must guard against
possibility Of such a contretemps occurring
to mar the success of your petit diner II
you sit down thirteen at table 1t Is alleged
that one Of the party will die within the
year, the victim being the one who is the
first to leave the table. OF course, this
superstition is known to everybody, but 1t
is not as generally known that 1t arose In
commemoration Of the Last Supper, Judas
being the fatal thirteenth who rose from his
seat and went before the others. 1t has been
said that ten Is q better number for a din
ner than twelve. and eight better number
than ten. A "Partie Carree' Is most en-
joyable. provided you have the right peo-
pie.

The Express Train Of the Future.

r
On the experimental railroad built by the
German government between Berlin and
Zossen a new type Of express train is to be
tested next year. The specifications require
that the train shall maintain a speed OF
seventy-four and one-half miles an hour for
three consecutive hours. In order to dimin-
ish the air resistance as much as possible
the entire train, including the locomotive,
will be inclosed in a shell Of sheet steel,
tointed so as to secure f1exibility in round
ing curves, uniform in size from end to
end. and presenting no projections to catch
the air. The front Of the engine will be
wedge-shaped. and the wheels will all be
Of the disk instead Of the spoked patterns,
and will be inclosed. as far as possible, by
the protecting sheath. Steam is to be the
motive power, the previous experiments
having shown that electric motors at high
speeds unduly strain the track

Deep Seaport Channels.


Among the interesting papers read last
night before the American Association for
the Advancement Of Science was one on
the needs and methods of securing much
greater depths at our seaports. The au
thor. Prof Haupt, late member Of the 18TH
milan and Nicaragua canal commissions,
showed numerous illustrations Of his forms
Of harbors and channels, and especially Of
the deep holes found wherever currents
were INSTRUCTED and compelled to change
their direction.
due to the reaction Of the distractions and
not due to mean velocity, as is generally
claimed and number Of Instances were
cited to prove that the depths which In
some instances reached to over 100 feet,
were located at points where the velocitieS
were much less than those where the depths
were but twelve feet Or less 1t was shown
that straight line does violence to nature,
that currents run in curves, that the deep
on the concave bank, which is the one pro-
ducing the reaction and directing the dis
charge while the convex bank is the coun-
terpart and region of deposit.
He then showed how these natural laws
might be9otilized to great advantage by the
construction of continuous, DETECTING media
across bars in such manner as to develop
the energy Of the stream in useful work,
and illustrated by a practical example
firmed the theory on the gulf coast, where
all previous efforts had failed. He stated
that the attempts to create and maintain
channels in the open sea by dredging with
out regulating works, was but a Temporary
and unsatisfactory expedient, and that 1t
