The Rise In Tn. nix.-

1t Is little short of astonishing 10
see how little water is required to float
the southern river steamers. a boat
loaded with perhaps n thousand bales
OF cotton slipping along c~ontentedly
where a boy could wade across the
stream. Once, however. the Chatta-
hoochee got too low for ever her light
draft commerce, and at Gunboat
shoals a steamer grounded. AS the
drinking water on board needed re-
p~lenishing, n deck hand was sent ashore
with a couple of water buckets. Just
ut this moment n northern traveller ap-
preached the captain of the boat, and
asked him how long he thought they
would have to stay there.
"Oh, only until that man gets back
with a bucket Of water to pour into
the river" the captain replied. Pres
emily the deck hand returned, and the
stale water from the cooler was
emptied overheard. Instantly, to the
amazement Of the traveller, the boat
began to move.
We'll, If that doesn't beat thunder!'
he gasped.
The fact was that the boat, touching
the bottom, had acted as d dam, and
there was soon backed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the shoal
and send her on down the stream

Biographies as a StimuIus.

We cannot help living in some degree
the lives of heroes who are constantly
n u minds. Our characters are n
stantly being modified, shaped and
nodded by the suggestions which are
thus held. The most helpful life sto-
rles for the average youth are not the
meteoric ones, the unaccountable ones.
the astonishing ones, like those of Ma
poleon, Oliver Cromwell and julius
Caesar. The great stars of the race
dazzle most boys. They admire, but
they do not feel that they can initiate
them. They like to read their lives,
but they do not get the helpfulness and
the encouragement from them that
they do from reading the lives Of those
who have not startled the world so
much. 1t is the triumph of the or
binary ability which is most helpful as
inspiration and encouragement.
The life Of Lincoln has been an in
finitely greater inspiration to the world
than the life Of Napoleon or that of
Julius Caesar.-O. S. Marden in Sue
Magazine.

Bulldogs a Menace to Health.

The bulldog is a menace to health.
We have this on the authority of a
noted French physician, who says that
because Of his large mouth the bull
dog is a great purveyor of disease, es-
pecially Of consumption, Giphtheria
and the like, as the dribbling from the
heavy, loose jaws is incessant. Those
who fondle bulldogs do so at a great
risk. He traces many cases of in
fectious disease, especially among
young children, to households in which
bulldogs are kept as pets. When we
add to this the invariable ferocity Of
the beast, the danger to which children
and other innocent and defenseless
people are exposed whenever he roams
the streets or highways, we have an
argument in favor Of his disposal that
be gainsaid. Away with bull
dogs!

II City Noises Jar You.

Get some spermaceti, roll a wad large
enough to fill the ear orifices, put it In
a piece Of fine cotton cloth tied with
thread and insert into ears on retiring,
pressing it quite firmly therein so that
the ball Of spermaceti will closely fill
up all the air space in the ears. You
will find it quite effective for barring
noises, and hence inducing natures
sweet %restorer, balmy Sleep" to get in
Its good work. This ear plug is harm
less and cheap. 1t helped me out great
ly years ago amid the city's din, my
sense OF hearing being intensely keen
n temperament neurotic. 1t is worth
a trial, and I have no patent on it.

Changes From N Fish TO a Bird.
The story Of the early life, transfer
nation and final death of the Chinese
quail Is the most remarkable that is
found in the pathological literature Of
the world. The narrative in all Its IN
reasonableness is found in the story Of
ON chung, which Is the name the Chi
nese quail Is known by when at home
In the Flowery Kingdom. Celestial au-
thorities on bird lore declare that no
specimen Of ON chung was ever known
to live a year; that they do not lay
eggs, as all other known species of
birds do, and, finally, that their pro-
gen1tor is a Shiny, four jointed worm,
which has a red head and a sting on
the end Of its tail. This queer ~seacoast
worm, according to the curious legend
OF ON chung, lays 100 eggs annually.
Fifty of these become fish and the 9th,
er fifty are worms of the same species
as the parent. The fish that has come
into existence In this curious manner
also lays 100 eggs a year. Fifty of
these become water d~enizens after the
image Of their parent, and the others
become birds of the famed ON ching

Why Is ItF

Here is a question in naval science
which Is to the average sailor man a
riddle unsolved. Take a vessel of, say,
$500 tons; place on it a cargo of $500
TONS This gives you a total Of 5000
tons. Hitch a little tug to this YES
sci, and she will yank the big craft
along at the rate of six or eight knots
an hour. Now put the tugs machinery
in the big vessel. 1t won't move her
half a Knot IN hour. Why is this?

Columbia River Thrice famed

The Columbia river has had three
names. 1t was first called the Oregon.
Afterward it was called the st. Rogue.
but when it was discovered by Robert
Gray in 1892 it was given the name Of
his vessel, the Columbia, In place of
the two floating appellations, Oregon
and st. Rogue. According to Whitney.
the original name of the river was the
OREGON, "big ear" or ''one that has big
ears" the allusion being to the custom
of the Indians who were found in it's
region of stretching their ears by Dor
ing them and crowding them with Or
naments.

Motor boats are of two classes, pleas
ure craft and racing machines. The
pleasure craft may be speedy, but in
their case speed has to be sacrificed
to comfort and safety. The racers are
built on different lines. They are con-
Structed so as to be very light and at
the same time carry internal combus-
ton motors Of high power. Some very
fast motor boats have been built in
America in the past few years or pur-

PREJUDICE AGAINST GLASSES.

Ordinarily there is a great indisposi-
ton to glasses, a prejudice born
and fostered by pride and ignorance.
Few prejudices are more foolish, for
the proper adjustment of glasses to
improperly focused eyes is one of the
greatest boons to humanity. When
glasses are needed they should be
worn, and a failure to do SO means
deterioration of ocular health and
functions, and usually produces much
unnecessary suffering and inconven-
fence to the individual.

of failing sight, which are indistinct

why these two new brands have beer

a device by means of which Spreckels

the jobbers when he lowers the price

II is the custom. when the sugar
maker lowers the rate per bag OF loo

jobber who had previously bought at
higher price is given rebate equal
to the reduction ON all stock he has
