wanted Bread, Had Courage.

One day, riding along the road, Gen
eral Gordon came upon a regimental
prayer meeting, which was very inn
pressive. The men were kneeling or
standing with bowed heads about the
chaplain, who was praying in a voice
Of wonderful compass.
The general checked his horse and re-
moved his hat and waited for the end
of the prayer. The chaplain asked the
Lord to give the men of Lees army SUI
preme courage to meet the great crisis
that had come upon them, fortitude to
bear new privations and troubles,
strength to fight against the pursuing
enemy. Just then tall private rose
from his knees and shouted to the chap
lain: Pray for bread, chaplain; pray
for breadl We have courage to spare,
but TO fight we must have something to
eat. Pray for breadr This broke up
the prayer meeting.

What n Lie Did.

The madness of suicide as relief
from mental anguish was vividly illus
trated years ago by an incident which
occurred in an Italian town. Moretti,
tailor, was sent to prison on a charge
of fraud. His sweetheart called upon
the police officer to ask how long Mo-
fetti was likely to be confined and was
told that it would be probably for
many years. The policeman had been
jnstigated to say this by the girls
mother, who disliked the match. Over
whelmed with grief and thereby driven
to despair, the poor girl put an end to
her life by poison. A few days later
Moretti was released from custody,
the accusation against him having
been proved false. He returned home
to find his affianced bride corpse.
Frenxied at the sight, he, too. destroy

The COster's Curl.

Many east London BARRIERS, who have
been journeymen in many west end es-
Establishments, declare that young cos
termongers and barmen, with the pc
culiar rolling curl that protrudes from
under the cap or bowler, are far more
particular about their hair than the
sons of the aristocracy in general.
This same curl, standing forth from a
surface of hair that seems to have
been flatironed, is not achieved with
out much trouble. Scores of these

tion given to their distinguishing curl

II is mistake to think that excessive
physical exercise is beneficial The op-
posite is the fact. AS some one has
said, "Man is not constructed to be
running and leaping animal, like deer
or cat" To emphasize bodily develop
ment above the mental development is
a step toward resumption of the life of
the savage and lower animals. Phys
ical culture is n desirable thing; but, as
in everything else, the extremes are to
be avoided. A person may have too lit
tie bodily exercise and may also have
far too much or violent exercise. One
who is walking n considerable part of
the day would need but little else as
exercise except, perhaps, calisthenics
for the arms, back and chest and on
retiring or rising And the same ad-
vice is applicable TO woman who does
her own housework. But one confined
over a desk or typewriter should make
a conscientious habit of walking, bicy-
cling and calisthenics every day for an

1.-THE SLEEPLESS ARCH"
Old Hindoo Principle the Basis of
All Modern Bridges.


Although the building of great arches
of masonry dates beyond the ancient
Roman civilization, the principle that
gives strength to the massive stone
bridges of today is the same that built
the bridges of the Roman empire.
The history of bridge building is, to
a large degree, the history of the arch,
whose efficiency lies in the truth of the
old Hindoo saying that "the arch never
sleeps" because each separate section
of which 1t consists, beginning at the
keystone, or central section, is con-
stantly pushing against its immediate
neighbors until the pressure finally
reaches the firm foundation upon which
the structure is erected.
10 secure perfectly trustworthy
foundation, therefore, the bridge build
er has often to penetrate far below the
surface of the earth, and not infre-
quently the part of his structure thus
covered up and concealed is greater
than that visible above ground.
1t was their inability to solve the
problem of a trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis
trust the arch, arguing that the sleep
less activity that held 1t together was
equally active in tearing 1t to pieces.
Not only is the modern bridge builder
skilled in setting his structure on a
firm base, but thoroughly acquainted
with the time honored materials for
his work, to say nothing of new ma
terials, and an important part of his
student training in such modern schools
as the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology is devoted to methods of test
ing materials during construction that
would have surprised and delighted
even the most accomplished of the an
cient Roman engineers.

HEROIC REMEDIES
Whipping Was Prescribed at one
Time For Insanity and Fits.

Whipping Was Prescribed at One
Time For Insanity and Fits.
Ill health is bad thing at any time,
but 100 years ago 1t was made more
terrible by the remedies In use. Blood
letting, of course, was simple affair.
A writer in Macmillan's Magazine says
that everybody was bled twice year
in the spring and autumn. The bar
bers We're the surgeons and, like wise
men, adapted their prices to their pa
tients.
A gentleman who SO indulged him
self as to 20 TO bed to be bled was
charged half n crown and his fine lady
half sovereign. Certain days were
unlucky for bloodletting, and nothing
would induce the BARRIERS to operate
on these occasions. Serious diseases
seem TO have been beyond the medical
skill of the day. Villages and towns
simply drove out the infected from
their midst.
Among remedies herbs of course
played great part. For salves," runs
an old notebook which had a great
vogue, "the country parsons wife
seeks not the city and prefers her gar
den and fields before all outlandish
gums" Sage was held very great
medicine. 1t was even asked in Latin,
"Why should any one die who has sage
I'm his gardenT If any one had dis
ease of the mouth, the Eighth Psalm
should be read for three days. seven
times on each day. AS remedy 1t
was sovereign"
For insanity or fits whipping was
prescribed. Little wonder that NOR
tality was great. In old days In Wes-
sex, England, persons with infectious
diseases were confined in the lookup,
and whipping was deemed too good for
them. Should the sick be loud in la
ment the Waterman kept them quiet by
this popular discipline, and one town
has upon its records, "Paid T. Haw-
kins for whipping two people that had
the smallpox eightpence."
Fortunately the spirit of this age is
different from that.

STAGE LIGHTS.
their Various Uses and the Names
by which They Are Known.


by which They Are Known.
Lights play an important part on
the stage Of the modern theater, and
they have many uses. The spot light,
for instance, Is employed to cast cir
Gle OF light upon the stage where sin
gle person Is to be brought into espe-
cinl prominence. 1t consists of an arc
electric light inclosed In cylindrical
hood about the diameter of stove
pipe and provided at the open end
with condenser lens for the purpose
Of concentrating the rays upon small
area.
A flood light is an arc in n rectangu-
lar box painted white upon the inside
to serve as a reflector. 1t is supposed
to flood the stage with light; hence its
name.
Bunch lights are clusters of gas or
incandescent lights either arranged
within reflector or exposed naked.
They are used back of II scene behind
doorways, where light is needed off
the stage to represent the illumina-
ton of that part of dwelling not
shown. For the same purpose strip"
lights are used-rows of incandescent
lights fastened to strip of wood pro-
vided with n hook, by which 1t may
be hung to the back of a scene when
required.
"Side" lights are incandescent lights
arranged on either side of the prosce-
mum arch. Sometimes they are built
within the arch or they are arranged
to be swung outward when the cur
tain Is raised.
The footlights are familiar to all,
and the "border" lights are those hung
over the stage directly above the seen
cry. shutting Off the top of the stage.
These are arranged in trough like an
inverted "U' to cast their light down
upon the stage. These are practically
all of the lights used upon the stage of
house. though magic lanterns are
employed at times for the stimulation
of water effects. moonlight ripples and
lightning. The old fashioned calcium,
