Judged by His Voice.

One day Sir AlgernOn West, a well
known member of parliament from
London, was observed by one of the
deerkeepers talking to a gentleman
who had a rasping raucous voice and a
demonstrative, excited manner While
the conversation was in progress Sir
Algernon received the card Of another
member Of parliament and an intima-
ton that it's owner wished to see him.
"Sorry; I'm engaged" was the answer.
Next moment up came another card
from a we'll known peer. Again an
apology was returned. In another min
ute the doorkeeper came carrying a
huge card and saying that the lord
mayor and sheriffs Of London wished
very urgently to see Sir Algernon. The
latter excused himself from the gentle
man with whom he was convers1ng.
This was too important to resist.
"There amt nobody here" whispered
the doorkeeper when he got the mem
Der outside, ''only 1 was afraid a mad
man had been shown in to you by mis-
take, and l wanted to warn Ou."

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

Tie chemical forces are nearer akin
to the vital forces than to the physical
forces.
A body weighing one pound on earth
would weigh twenty-seven and half
pounds upon the SIN.
The mechanical force of the sound
emitted from 100000 to 100000
comets would equal but one horse
power.
The highest speed which matter has
been known to reach is that attained
by the eruption Of by drogen and other
gases from the sun, which is at times
several hundred miles a second.
The star Sirius, which is shown to be
about double the size Of our sun, emits
from forty to sixty fold more light thar
the sun owing to it's matter being much
more diffused.
Two hundred and eighty stars north
Of 20 declensiOn have velocity
through space of twenty miles per sec

but 1874 miles per second.
The most delicate scale is made by

LIFE BY THE CLOCK.


Doing Things ON Time May Be Car
ried to Dangerous Extremes.
An eminent physician at a recent
notice afresh to the daily tension under
which most Americans do their work.
We rise ON time, he remarked, in the
morning, whether by an alarm clock,
by the call Of servant or by habit, eat
breakfast and read the paper on time,
a clock in every room and a watch fire.
quently in our hand. We then, on time,
meet Office and outside engagements,
always preconsidering the amount of
time that will be required and timing
the next engagement accordingly. Or
ten we subdivide this time and note by
our watches exactly how long we can
discuss q subject.
Doubtless punctuality is a virtue.
Doubtless also the practice of doing
things exactly on time has won for us
as people large measure OF indus
trial success. But, carried to an ex-
treL-e, as it often is, 1t is wearing to
the individual. The people whose
incident to overwork are often not so
much the victims Of overwork as the
habit of COMPRISING every bit of work
within prearranged limits Of time. Let
any one try the experiment of doing a
given piece Of work steadily and with
application, but without noticing by
his watch or clock how much time he Is
consuming, and he will be amazed to
find how much easier it will go than
when he is timing himself and schem-
ing to bring the prescribed task within
a fixed number of minutes.
We know a great deal more about
sanitary matters than our fathers and
grandfathers knew. We have hunted
down microbes. We have cOncocted
serums. Diseases which were once re-
garded as visitations Of Providence we
now know to be preventable, and we
take suitable means Of preventing
them. All these discoveries md new
remedies ought to diminish the death
rate and to promote longevity. They
have not done So as a matter of fact.
Perhaps they might do so if they had
fair chance. The trouble is that along
with these devices for frightening life
we are adopting practices which tend
to shorten it. One Of the most wear
ing of these is the habit of bringing all
details of our work within exact time
limits.-Boston Transcript.

An imaginary TRIP.
What ! Saw In Passing Over
Annapolis In A
Balloon.

The following composition is by Miss
Blossom Sims. fifteen years OF age, an
Annapolis scholar
alt was on bright summer day in the
month of August, when a party OF us
girls started for Bay Ridge to spend our
annual picnic. On our arrival we were
informed that In the afternoon there was
to be a balloon ascension. As I always
had great desire to make an ascension,
| lost no time In making my wants known
10 the proper authorities who, after a
great deal OF persuasion, kindly consented
TO let me make the trip. While busy
making the necessary arrangements, the
rest OF the girls were arranging lunch,
and preparing to give me royal send-off.
After lunch / reported 10 the man In
charge of the balloon. telling him was
ready and willing to make the trip. He
told me to take my place in the baske,
and make myself at home.
"At half past two everything was in
readiness. My companion jumped in the
basket, the signal was given to let her

ball hred from a cannon. My feelings
can be better imagined than described.

soon became accustomed to it, and must
confess enjoyed II. When about three
hundred feet up my companion told me
10 look down, but was unable to Eecog-
nizs any OF my friends that | had left
behind. We were now drifting out upon
the bay and the sight below was most
beautiful TO behold. My companion threw
out a few bags OF sand, and the balloon at
cnce scared up like bird to the height
OF six hundred feet, and shot of in the
direction OF my old home-Annapolis. ,
"The new buildings at the Naval Acad-
emy, our new postoffice and other promi-
nent buildings stood out in bold relief.

nIze many familiar places around It's

days boating and fishing. AS we passed

beautiful situation of our city, which re-

many other familiar scenes.
''ln fear of an approaching thunder
storm. my companion thought it advis-
able TO make landing. and as we neared
the old Government Hospital he gave the
line a sudden jerk, which opened the
valve in the balloon when, to my sur
prise, could feel and see the balloon
descending very rapidly. A small anchor
attached to rope was thrown over the
side OF the balloon, which my companion
successfully caught in a tree, and brought
US to the ground safely - making our
