Trivial Annoyanees.

It is surprising how trivial are the
annoyances which suffice to make some
men miserable. A lump OF SCOT fall
ing on a mans linen. blfsteak over
done, losing railway train by forty
seconds after running himself cut OF
breath, visit from bore when he
Is overwhelmed with cares, the rasp-
ing of his Moves by hand organ
when he is weary, inclined to head
ache or trying to sleep; even the want
of pin or shirt button flying of at
an unlucky moment, as when he Is
dressing for a dinner party and has
tcant time in which to do it-all these
are annoyances which sorely try
mans patience and chafe and vex
many a person more than serious
misfortune. Alexander Smith goes so
far as to say that If during thirty
years ali the annoyances connected
with defalcating shirt buttons alone
could be gathered into a mass and en-
dured at once It would be misery equal
to a public execution.-New York

o. cb,nDi0r A,hIe... Die YounoY

From opinions collected from men
prominent In the athletic world, among
them several doctors and surgeons who
have given the subject special study,
il may be concluded that the average
man can play baseball, tennis and bas-
ketball with safety until he Is forty.
After that age these mere vigorous
games become a little dangerous. even
to the man in good physical eondi-
ton. AT forty-five. most Of the experts

SEA ANIMALS
Flourish Everywhere, Even at the Great
est Depths.

| The sea teens with plants and ami
mails, and il has been estimated that
the amount of life in the sea exceeds
that of the land, square mile for square
mile, Animal life is found nearly every.
where, even at the greatest depth; but
it iourishes best at or near the shore.
On the other hand, plant life seems TO
be absent over the bottoms OF the ocean
basins, but plentiful at the surface,
where the sunlight plays an important
part in its growth.
IL is believed that the original forms
of life began in the ocean many million
years ago, and at no time since has life
there ceased Many Of the earliest
forms are now extinct; Others have
gradually increased in number and va
riety from their beginning to the pres
ent time. How long ago life began no
one has definitely determined; but ii is
known to have been many million years
ago, for the remains OF extinct animals
and plants are found in the oldest sedi-
mentary rocks.
According to biologists, the oceanic
waters have made many incursions upon
the continents and at times nave nearly
submerged them. Long ago, even in a
geologic sense, before the birth OF the
Appalachian or Rocky mountains, the
sea made frequent visits to the interior
Of our continent and left, after each
retreat sandy, muddy, or limy deposit
mixed with shells and other organic re-
mains, which later become solidited into
rock. Were not the organic remains
still found in the deposits, it would be
difficult to believe that the ancestors OF
many present day sea animals once lived
along the beaches of an ancient inland
sea-
Bulletin sos, written by G. II. Girty
and just issued by the United States
geological survey, describes local as
sociation of animals that lived in one
OF these inland seas that covered Arkan-
sas. This fauna lived not long lin geolo-
gic terms before the formation OF the
great coal beds over portions OF the
eastern United States. The bulletin,
which deals with the fauna OF the Boone
limestone at st. Joe, Ark, consists Of
two parts, each describing faunal
group at the same locality. Seventy
two species are described, including sew
eral new to science, with discussion of
their bearing on the age and correlation
of the rocks containing them. This bull
letin is technically descriptive and is OF
interest to students Of Paleozoie faunas
and Mississippi valley geology A copy

Water and Pure Water.

Pure water Is nothing more or less
than a chemical curiosity. Even when
distilled it cannot rightly be considered
perfectly pure. Mineral matter is the
most common foreign substance found
In adams ale" This is largely ow-
ing to the fact that all water passes
through rock and soil at some time or
other. In moderate quantities these
mineral salts are quite desirable, as
they are particularly needed for our
bones and muscles. When water is dis.
titled these mineral substances become
detached; hence distilled water is USE
less for drinking. But IL more than a
hundred grains Of such salts as magne-
stun or sodium sulphate are contained
ina gallon OF water il should then be
regarded as a mineral beverage rather
than a good drinking material The
Importance OF water can be well real
lied when we consider that the very
elasticity Of our muscles, cartilages
and tendons is due 20 the amount Of
water that these tissuescontain.-Pear-
sons.

GREETED, not alone by the people of this
community, but wherever the little pa

What the Duke Said.

The Duke of Wellington, of course,
never said up, guards. and at emf al
Waterloo, but is it generally known
how near he came to saying it? Sir
Herbert Maxwell in his biography of
the duke points out what is the prob
able origin of the pleasing legend.
Late on the afternoon of that memo
Fable 18th of June the First and Sec
ond battalions of the Third chas'
seurs were foremost in the attack on
Mount St Jean. They had reached
a crossroad unaware that British
troops were lying behind the wayside
banks according TO orders to remain
prone when under fire, but not actual,
ly engaged. Then at the proper mo-
ment Wellington's voice was heard,
''clear above the Storm" stand up.
guardsr' 1t was Mailland's brigade
of guards that thus stood up and
with a victorious rush swept the chas-
seurs out of the combat.-London

Some Unfinished Books.

Dickens, Thackeray, Beaconsfeld
Stevenson, all left unfinished nov
els. Byron had planned continu-
alton of both "Childe Harold" and
'Don Juan" when death overlook
him at Missolonghi. Coleridge never
completed "Christabel," though for
years before his death he toyed with
the project, and the Excursion"
is merely fragment of Words
worth's design. Few writer's have
been so provident as Wilkie Collins,
who died when "Blind Love" was
only three-quarters written, but left
SO elaborate a synopsis that his
friend, Sir Walter Besant, complet-
ed it with ease.
