New Works Lobster Palaces.

Nobody of distinction of appetite
 goes to a lobster palace to eat. Ono goes there in gaudy mood or when every other place Is filled or closed or with the kind of man who thinks gay ety means overdressed women, bedia- moned men, walters rushing with champagne as if they had the dre buckets and a caterwauling orchestra. At midnight the din and the excite ment incline a sedate man to ask him. self whether he Is not in . riot If you have lobster digestion, you don't hear the din or feel the maelstrom of omnibuses, walters, head walters and patrons swirling about you. A man who Is eating lobster has to concen- trate all his faculties, mental, physical, moral and intellectual, on the ordeal. You have heard no doubt of the young lady who was asked over her first lob ster how she liked 1t. T think" she declared, its perfectly delicious if there weren't so many large bones in 1t. They look like celluloid, don't they y?"-Richard Duffy in Putnam's.

An imaginative Statesman.

Imagination is the greatest moving force in the world. In saying this l am merely repeating . remark of Dis rael's. and to prove the strength of his conviction will repeat . story MT. Lowell told me when he was minister to England. It Is the custom of the Royal Academy of Painters to hold . private view of their pictures before the public exhibition. Disraeli, walk ing arm in arm with Browning through the galleries, said, What strikes me most forcibly here is the lack of imagination" and he proceeded 10 enlarge upon the power of imagina- ton, declaring 1t to be the greatest force in the world. In responding to ! toast at. the banquet which followed the private exhibition he dwelt upon the wealth of imagination in evidence on the walls about him and again ex- pressed his conviction that imagina- ton is the moving force in the world. Browning repeated Disraeli's first re- mark to Gladstone, who sat beside him, and he muttered, ''The devil!'-. John Trowbridge in Atlantic.

A "Mite,"

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to "mite' In the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original Unite" seems to have been third of Flemish penny, but the use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made its regular English meaning half far thing, and some old people may re member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books mite" stands for various val ues not represented by actual coins but obviously used in reckoning. A work of 1706 makes it one-twelfth of a penny, two sixteenth century books one-sixth of q farthing, and in 1874 Jeakes arithmetic made 1t as little as one sixty-fourth of penny.-Lon- don Chronicle.

Wnllna te Help.

Lord Pauncefote suffered gre9oV from rheumatic gout in his latter dayN and he walked stif1y and sometimes had to use two canes. He went one afternoon to make 8 call, and he re- nained quite a long time, 90 long that he horses got restive, and the groom walked them up and down the street. When Lord Pauncefote left the houa he carriage was not in front, and. Thinking there was some mistake h bis orders. he started to walk to the ambassy. which was only a square or two. But he had twinges of his old enemy, and the pavements were icy. He was large, heavily built maa, and he feared a fall. While he was pondering over his dilemma along came a young man in working clothes, and the British ambassador, after q courteous salutation, asked: My friend, will you walk beside me and help me home7 It Is just short ways. but I am afraid of falling. I shall greatly appreciate It." The young man looked him over ans then said thickly, "Old gent am pretty full myself, but I'll do the best ean-ths very best can."

Heroic Treatment.

In Guiana if a child Is slow in its movements the parents apply an ant to the child instead of whip to make 1t move faster. This little ant bites more cruelty than mosquito, and its bite is apt to be troublesome after. ward. As you can imagine, this treat ment does not make the child kind to others, and the children of Guiana are said to be particularly cruel to ani. mals. The little boys in Guiana do not reckon their age by years. but by their ability to endure pain. Until he gets to the point where he can let the Hucu ant bite him without wincing he is considered merely a baby.

A Dramatic Incident In the Career es
 General do Gallifet.
 It was on that fatal day, Sept. |. 1870. that General de Gallifet distin- xuished himself by commanding the cavalry charges intended to clear the elevation at lily, with the view oe opening c passage toward Floing. where 1t was hoped the army might re- treat. The first charge overthrow ths Eighty-third regiment of the Prusslans and penetrated among the German troops, but the latter formed again rapidly after the retirement of the French cavalry.
 General Ducrot then asked If they could renew the charge with W lat re- nained of the light cavalry ana nus sars. and then Gallifet answered n the words that have become historic, "As often as you wish. general, as long as a man remains" The secono charge was not so successful as tho first. Only few men. with their gen eral at their head, succeeded in pene trating the first ranks of the enemy It is known that the king of Prussia. who was watching the battle from the top of the hill of Marfee, exclaimed with admiration, "Oh, les braves gens!'
 Just at this moment an astonishing event occurred in the midst of the bat tle. As Gallifet was returning W1tD a few survivors. their horses for tho most part wounded or foundered. he passed before the Nassau regiment. The Prussian officers ordered their men to cease fire and even struck up some of their guns The French sa- luted and shouted "Eive Pempereur.:' and the German officers acknowledged the salute. some of them applauding.- Westminster Gazette.

First can&alever erjdae.

The first cantalever railroad bridge is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland. It is nearly one and a half miles in length. Fifty one thousand tons of steel were used in its construction. employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $16,- 100000 and ffty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked a small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion ot the bolts that were to complete the Epan. For a time this was puzzle, but was finally solved by an ingenious wurkman wAo suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

Health as . Primary Factor In lntet'i-
 gent Living.
 Health and success are so largely dependent upon balance, upon sym- metry of development, physical and mental harmony, that we should do everything possible to secure that physical poise which also means men, tai and moral poise. A large part or our ills come from one sided develop ment, caused by overstimulattng some tissue cells and starving othcrs-over feeding and underfeeding. Scientific feeding. therefore, IS of vast impor- tance.
 Oyereating and improper eating arN among he curses of the world. Think of the people who put all sorts of in- compatibles into their stomachs at the same time and then use all sorts of nostrums to get rid of their bad ef- tects.
 One of the most pathetic sights a the world is that of human being struggling hard to carry out his am bition, yet handicapping himself by his ignorance of physical laws.
 What a pathetic figure Carlyle cut In the world-a one sided giant who might have been a symmetrical power, possessor of a colossal brain largely controlled by a dyspeptic stomach! He was cross and grabbed and did just the things that he did not want to do, things that he knew it would be bet ter not to do, but he was the victim of starved nerves, of exhausted brain cells largely for want of common sense feeling.-Orison Swet1 Marden in Sue. cess Magazine.
