Pipes and the lips.

The constant habit of smoking pipes
has a perceptible effect upon the face.
The pressure OF the lips to hold the
pipe In position Increases the curva-
ture of the lips round the stem. and
the muscles become more rigid here
than In other parts. Thus the lips at a
certain point become stronger and the
pipe is unconsciously held in the same
habitual position. After long continu-
alton of the habit small circular wrin-
kles form parallel with the curvature
of the lips around the stem. These are
crossed by finer lines caused by the
pressure OF the lips to retain the stem
in position. In the case of old men
who have smoked a pipe for years the
effect upon the lips is very marked.

The True Mechanic.

After a man has worked In shops
for ten or fifteen years there is a great
desire for change. Some want to go
out on q farm, others think that the
invention of something that can be
patented will solve the problem, while
others want to own and run a shop
themselves The latter is really the
true mechanic, but not necessarily the
man who will get out the most or even
the best work while working for a
boss, says Charles Henry IA the Work
ers' Magazine. On the contrary. he
will often be considered the lazy man
by the foreman when the work is OF
an ever recurring character. Let, how
ever, some difficulty arise in connec-
ton with a job or have some hard
proposition to meet and he will always
have suggestion to offer that will
help to solve the problem, while the
ordinary man and the hustler viii
stand around helpless and often dis
interested He will have the elemen-
tary laws Of mechanics and physics at
his finger tips, will know enough Of
electricity to allow him to discourse
upon the subject In an intelligent man
ner, and he will be well posted upon
the mechanical progress Of the day.

Silent and Dramatic.

The most dramatic of silent me n
was Wallenstein, the antagonist of
Gustavus Adolphus and the command
er of the emperor's armies In the Thir-
ty Years war. He insisted that the
deepest silence should reign about him.
His officers took care that no loud con-
versation should disturb their general.
They knew that a chamberlain had
been hanged for waking him without
orders and that an officer who would
wear clanking spurs in the command
er's presence had been secretly put
to death In the rooms of his palace
the servants gided as if they were
phantoms, and a dozen sentinels NOV
ed about his tent charged to secure
the silence the general demanded.
Chains were stretched across the
streets In order to guard him against
the disturbance of sounds. Wallen.
STEMS taciturnlty, which made him
shun speech, and his love of silence,
which caused him TO be irTitated at
the slightest noise, were due to his
constitutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from
any one, and he could not endure TO
be gazed at, even when giving an or
der. The soldiers, when he crossed
the camp, pretended not to see him,
knowing that a curious look would
bring them punishment

Leigh Lynch while be lived was a
happy man. In the first place, he was
the husband of lovely and gentle Anna
Teresa Berger, the belle of the bell

thirdly, he was the father OF a family

where he was always sure of ready

years he was treasurer of the Union

evening at dinner, in the presence of
his little daughter, Marie, he men

the vessel the men entered a great

flag while drinking. A very short
time afterward the sailors who had
carried the flag died, and before long
il was found that people were i'll in

spread throughout Odessa, filling all

Only One Sea Power.

In the audacity OF puny triumphs
nations are called sea powers, but
there is only one sea power, and that
is the sea itself. Far famed our ma

prevail. The waters so close as to re-
feet the friendly lights Of the great
metropolis are as alien to the forces of
men as are the depths Of the farthest
ocean. Lord Byron's "Apostrophe' has

GEORGE WASHINGTON TAFT.
Also Letter Which First President
 Wrote in Hartford.

We have been hearing a good deal lately about William II, Taft and in- cidentally, something about Charley F., of that name, but George Wash ington Taft has dropped completely out of sight and memory. There may even be those who will doubt if per son of that name ever lived But there is the best of evidence to the countryside evidence of George Washington himself During his first term as president, in the autumn of 17S9, Washington made tour of the New England states, passing through Massachusetts and going as far north as Portsmouth, N. H. On his way back by a different route he stopped for short time at Hartford, whence he wrote the following note.
 To MT. Taft near Uxbrdge, Massa-
