Three-score years ago, T. V. Sulli-
van, a sea captain, organized in Bos-
ton a new business, modelled after
something he had heard existed in
England. 1t was different from any
American business then in existence.
The new venture began in a very
small way, with practically no capital
and no backing. AS. it became a DEM
onstrated success, capital came to it
and men of affairs became interested
in the management.
Today this organization has thou
sands of employees. 1t has 1896 Of
fees in almost as many American cit
les. It's expenses are more than ten
million dollars a year. 1t has recent
ly erected a building in Chicago worth
$500, 0G0, one in New York costing
$500, 900, and another in Cleveland
valued at $685. 600. 1t is building al
Office building in Atlanta at a cost of
$4,000, another in Philadelphia val
ued at 1884, 900, and a third in Boston
at an expenditure of $1,300,000. For
five years this corporation has been
erecting branch houses at the rate Of
one every six days. All told, it owns
725 buildings. It's real estate is
worth $70,0 00, 900, and it has main
tenance funds of $14, 100000 more,
giving it a total capital Of $S4,0 00, 900.

Life Facts.

There are certain ages wherein
death is very imminent, and of all
these ages the most perilous is the
age of an hour or two. 1t is just
after birth that we are in most danger
of death; and the next most p%erilous
age to this is II years.
The age of 8 is the next most dang.
erous age. Almost %one-fourth of all
the babies born die during the third
year.
From 3 on to the age of rs life is
comparatively safe; but as, especially
for women, is a trying time, and many
are carried off.
After passing As in safety men and
women may reasonably hope to reach
II. Here again they are in great
danger-the greatest save for the first
few hours after birth.
Longevity is an hereditary quality.
1t passes from father to son and from
mother to daughter. He who had an
o%ctogenarian father may hope TO be-
come an o~ctogenarian himself, and
she who had an octogenarian mother
may hope to become an octogenarian
herself. But a fathers longevity does
not pass down to a daughter, nor
does a mothers pass down to a son.

WRONGMAN
How the Making of a Black Eye
Brought Happiness to
Two.
BY JAMES HALL,

Collins was in a very uncomfortable
frame Of mind as he journeyed down
town in the Subway. He had been UNI
employed for nearly two months and
was fast approaching the end of his
resources when he answered the prom
Using advertisement in the newspaper.
An invitation to call was the response,
and Collins was almost certain that
his application would be turned
down"
The reason for this pessimistic con-
clusion was that both the advertise
iment and the letter especially stated
that the advertiser wanted a "clean-
cut" man. Collins did not know what a
clean-cut man was, but he had always
associated the phrase in his mind with
the mental picture of one Of those
tailoring advertisements that appear
SO lavishly in the periodical press,
wherein a youth of ~aristocratic bear
ing and classical build is shown, cane
in hand. dressed in clothes that have
evidently been moulded to his figure.
Collins was decidedly not a clothes
horse type. His hair was curly,
where it should have been straight,
his nose was a little %retrousse, and
his shoulders sloped a little, as all
muscular shoulders do, and were
wholly innocent of padding. Decided
ly Collins was not "clean-cut" in the
fashion-plate sense.
The car was crowded and Collins
was hanging to a strap. He fell to
watching the face of q girl who was
seated opposite. 1t was inc of those
sweet, composed faces which are so
rarely seen in cities, and which, when
seen, impress themselves for a long
time upon the mind of the beholder.
She might be a stenographer, Collins
thought, going to her work in the
downtown section. A girl of respon'

Collins was thunderstruck at this
piece OF information. Surely fate had
dealt very hardly with him. The puffy
faced man, who had now adjusted his
coat and hat, did not look much like
a prospective employer.
"Mr. Allison" he said impulsively,
Il don't care for myself. but If you are
a gentleman you will let me get this
lady out of this crowd. Won't you &C.

There was an awful silence. Col
Inns dared not look UP. The crowd
was melting away; the three stood
there together, for even the guard, see
ing the turn matters were taking, had
wisely gone about his business. Sud
denly a roar burst from Allison's lips

But somehow there was a lurking
double meaning in that last word thai
made Miss Loomis blush.

Uncle Sam Can Gauge Horsepower Of Human Body

cheap, but at the same time sustain
ing.
The apparatus itself is six and a
half feet square and of the same
height. There Is a window in the
side to permit light for reading or
studying, a couch, to permit the sub
ject to lie down; a pipe through
which air enters, and another through
which it is expelled. The expelled air
is caught and its components ana
lyyzed, for part of the food you eat
is expelled with every breath.
The heat given off by the subjects
body is weighed and measured and
then carried off through a brass pipe
that has a current Of cold water run
ming through 1t. The heat-absorbing
power Of the pipe is enhanced by a
series of copper disks that are sol
dered to it. The method is merely
the reverse Of that practiced in bring
ing heat into a room by the hot-wa-
ter method. In one, the cold water
carries it away; in the other the hot
water brings it in. The exact amount
of heat expelled from the subjects
body is measured by the flow Of cold
water, one calorie of heat being nee
essary to raise one kilogram Of water
one degree centigrade.
When the bureau of chemistry ex-
perts decide that it will be a matter
of national import to know lust the
modicum of energy that a diet of
stewed beef, bread, beans and radishes
generate, while a man is using his
muscles, they feed their subject, put
him in the calorimeter, set him to
work pedaling something that looks
like a bicycle, and then stand around
and watch the dials and thermome-
tiers. Incidentally, to discover the
amount of energy on the same diet
that a man engaged in hard mental
work gives off, they get a subject who
has a particularly brain-puzzling task
to perform and watch him.
The last subject was a college stu
dent who had to pass a very rigid ex-
animation. He spent a couple of days
in the calorimeter, alternately study
ing and resting. When he rested, he
lay upon a couch at ease and read
if he wanted to, or just dozed. At
all times the scientists watched the
little thermometers, taking copious
notes.

hair was light brown, and her eyes,

mean-visaged individual, a common
