Too Much Development.

Excessive muscular development is
pronounced by an experienced physi-
clan to be not only unnecessary, but
positively dangerous. On ceasing ath-
letic training. which every person must
do sooner or later the system adapts
itself very slowly to new conditions,
and digestive and liver troubles are
very liable TO follow. The great lungs,
not needed in sedentary work, degener-
ate, often leading to consumption.

The Berlin correspondent of the

before starting on his balloon voyage
for the north pole enjoineo that his

end of 1900. 1t was inclosed in a
packet which was opened few days
ago IN the presence of relatives. Some
of the documents in the packet were
sealed and inscribed ITO be burnt I'M

a series of letters from scientists en-
couraging the expedition, and one
from his friend FourviIle warning
him against the proposed trip. This
was Endorsed: Possibly he is right;
but it is now too late to withdraw"
The will is very short. The opening
paragraph includes the following:

REPTILE FAsTs AND DIES.
Breaks All other Previous
Records.

All previous records in the fasting
line have been broken by queer rep
tile called a cyclodus, owned by Jo-
seph St. Clair, cigar merchant of 104
Hudson street, New York city. After
a seven months fast, during which the
cyclodus took nothing in the shape of
sustenanee, it died last Sunday night.
In the seven months it increased from
eight to IS inches in length and grew
stouter in proportion.
The eyelodus is a species of sand
lizard, belonging to the family of scin-
cidoe. In color it is silver and gray,
with brown spots and dark gray rings
around its body, and is found on the
rocky shores of Australia. The most
peculiar feature of this reptile is that
it is double-headed. The four legs are
jointed so that it can walk in either
direction without turning round. The
cyelodus is web-footed The foot has
four fingers and a thumb, while the
joints on the legs are made on the same
principle as mans elbows.

THE BOY REMEMBERED.
GOV. Stewart OF Missouri Had Met
This Maa Before Under Diff
fereAt circumstances.

A few years ago, while Robert
Stewart was governor of Missouri,
a steamboatman was brought in from
the penitentiary as an applicant for
a pardon, says the Indianapolis
Sentinel. He was a large, powerful
fellow, and when the governor looked
at him he seemed strangely affected.
He scrutinized him long and closely.
Finally he signed the document that
restored the prisoner to liberty. Be
fore he handed it to him he said:
You will commit some other crime,
and be in the penitentiary again,
fear" The man solemnly promised
he would not. The governor looked
doubtful, unused few minutes and
said: you will go back on the river
and be a mate again, l SUPPOSED"
The man replied that he would.
We'll, want you to promise me one
thing" resumed the governor. Il
want you to pledge your word that
when you are mate again you will
never take a billet of wood in your
hand and drive a sick boy out of
bunk to help you load your boat
on a stormy night" The steamboat
man said he would not, and inquired
what the governor meant by asking
him such a question. The governor
replied: Because some day that
boy may become a governor, and you
may want him to pardon you for
crime. One dark, stormy night,
many years ago, you stopped your
boat on the Mississippi river to take
on a load of wood. There was
boy on board who was working his
passage from New Orleans to St.
Louis, but he was very sick Of fever
and was lying in a bunk. You had
plenty of men to do the work, but
you went to that boy with a stick
of wood in your hand and drove him
with blows and curses out into the
wretched night and kept him toiling
like slave until the load was COM
pleted. I was that boy. Here is
your pardon. Never again be guilty
of such brutality The man. cow

without word. What a noble re-
veuge that was, and what a lesson to

NEGLECT Is COSTLY.
Torpedo Boats Rapidly Deteriorate
from Lack of Care.
Government Compelled TO Expend -
Great Deal of Money In Making
Repairs That Might Have
Been Saved.

Carelessness of naval officers at the
Brooklyn savy yard has cost the gov
eminent a good deal of money in re-
pairing torpedo boats, which we're
hauled out of the water with the idea
of preserving them from the rayages
of winter. There exist no facilities for
taking care of these craft during the
cold weather, although for two years
the navy department has had at its
disposal s150,OoO for the construction
of a torpedo boathouse at the Boston
navy yard.
The advisers of the secretary of the
navy never could agree as to the means
of providing protection and the meth
DDS of handling the boats. Chief Con
structor Hiehborn prepared one
scheme and other officers had other
ideas, with the result that nothing has
been done or is likely to be DONE
When it came to hauling out the
boats at Portsmouth, New York.
League island, and Puget sound this
winter the constructors were obliged
to employ the most primitive means,
such as CREASED planks, and the boats
are protected by such temporary COW
ering as loose lumber affords
At New York, it appears, the en-
gineers or the line officers, who now
are acting as engineers of the navy,
failed to take care of the boilers of the
boats. The mechanism consequently
deteriorated to such an extent and so
rapidly that it was found necessary to
remove the boilers. This could only be
done by cutting through the steel
decks or hull covering.
Three OF four of the torpedo boats,
such as the Dupont and the Ericsson,
/ were operated upon in this way at
| great expense. The incident has been
/ guarded as a departmental secret, al
though the correspondence between
the Office of the secretary and some OF
the bureaus concerned in the matter
has been tart
This situation, brought to light in
the session of the board on construc-
ton, induced the chief of the bureau
of navigation, Rear Admiral Crownin-
shield, to recommend that line officer
be detailed to the permanent duty as
inspector of torpedo boats. He further
suggested that all torpedo boats be re
moved from the water and placed in
storage at the Norfolk navy yard
There they could be obtained as the,
are wanted and could be kept in repair
and in readiness for sea service.

And decked with red and blue:
And some were made by unskilIed hands,
Yet sped right swiftly. too.

With happy children. made

But where do you find them

1--WE find them around us, if we

ideas have odd ways of hiding in I'M

a drop of water. They have been
