Notwithstanding all he has done for this country some American writers have recently sought to prove that his moral conduct would not stand the high test of a comparison with that of a New England Sunday school-teacher. He was really so devoutly religious that his signature is a cipher, said to mean 'Servate me, Xristus, Maria, Yosefus, Christoferens." In his later years he suffered from gout, ophthalmia and other maladies which his many hardships brought on. His sight and hearing were quick and his sense of smell extremely delicate, 5.

Even on his voyages he was fond of having his linen, which was very fine, and his gloves scented with essences or more often with dried ilowers. Otherwise he was moderate and simple in diet and apparel from taste and on principle; he may be added to the list of great men who eon fined themselves as far as possible to vegetable diet und preferred water to wine.

There was never a time in the history of our country when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts nud sciences generally was so great as dow. The oouveuiences of mankind in the fiiotory and workshop, the household aud on the farm, uh well as in ollieial lite, require oonliutml accessions to tbe appurtenance and impliments of each in order to save labor, time aud expense. The political change in the admimstra- on government does not affeot tbe progress of the American inventor, who being on tbe alert, and ready to per ceive the existiug deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to de ter him from quickly eonoeiving the remedy to overcome existing discrepan cies. Too great care cannot be exer oised in onoosing a competent and skill ful attorney to prepare and prosecute an application for patent. Valuable in tereslB,have been lost and destroyed in innumerable instances by the employ meut of incompetent oounsel, and es pecially is this advioe applicable to those who adopt the "No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this, class of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the breadth ami strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance aud obtain the fee.

I of Ort Hlp to tho Daring Llf6 "rr ' lh !,,w Jr7 Coul-Ho It Ii Soot to gluklnl kblpb The stunly surfmen of Long Beach, as they call the ribbon of sand south of liarnejrat iulL't separating the waters of the bay and the ocean, have made two (fallant rescues in the past week with the Lyle gun and the breeches buoy. The opportunity to use these appli ances is always welcomed, says the New York Sun, because it means a fight with the elements that stirs the blood and strains the muscle. Whenever the news that a ship is ashore is telephoned from station to station over the beach wires every surfman within twenty miles says envious things nbout the lucky patrolmen who are called out to make the rescue. The ordi nary routine of the bei"eh patrol is full of hardship and monotonous in the ex treme. A daring rescue makes talk for the rest of the winter. Considering the number of vessels which have to pass it, the Xew Jersey coast is the most dangerous on the con tinent, and many ships go ashore on the shelving sands there every winter. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, however, the surf will admit the launching of lifeboats, and the surf men bring ashore the shipwrecked iu this way. It is only when a great storm is raging and the surf is so rough as to baffle the skillful oarsmen that the gun and breeches buoy are resorted to. This does not happen very often. When the patrol sees a vessel aground or in danger he hurries to the station and gives the alarm. The surfmen are out in a jiffy. They always take all their apparatus, so as to be ready for any emergency. If the lifeboat cannot be launched through the surf, they bring out the Lyle gun. This is a small brass cannon, which has a projectile fit ting over the barrel like a sheath over a a sword. To the projectile is fastened one end of a stout cord. The gun is aimed to throw the projectile over the ship, and thus bring the cord within the reach of the men on the wreck. It sel dom requires more than two shots to land the cord. The sailors then pull it in and get hold of the rope to which it is fastened. When the end of the rope is hauled aboard it. is made fast to one of the masts. Sleantiine the surfmen are burying a sand anchor. This is a great square of planking, whose sur face grips the sand in which it is sunk. To it the shore end of the rope is se curely fastened. Then comes the breeches buoy. This consists of a great ungainly pair of canvas trousers hung to a circular life IN TIUS 1IREECUES BUOY. preserver. It is suspended by stout ropes from a pulley, which the surfmen quickly rig upon the rope connecting ship and shore in such a way that it moves freely back and forth. A guy line, one end of which was sent aboard the ship with the rope, is now fastened to the breeches buoy, and the surfmen pull on a. line which starts the breeches buoy traveling seaward. As soon as it reaches the ship one of the shipwrecked gets into the pair of canvas breeches, sticking a leg through each capacious hide, and grasping the life preserver, which comes just under his armpits. He does not need to be tied in, for his scat is secure. All being ready, the surfmen ashore begin to haul in. The breeches buoy rolls rapidly shoreward, suspended from its hempen track. For n.ost of the dis tance the man in the breeches is dang ling above the water. When he reaches the surf, though, he is bound to get a ducking, lie holds his breath, takes a fresh hold on the life preserver, and in he goes. The next minute he is on the beach, whore a dozen strong hands reach out to pluck him out of his can vas breeches. The buoy is sent straight back for another, and so on until all are rescued. A do.en men have been brought ashore in this way by a single breeches buoy in less than an hour. It sometimes happens that a woman is aboard the ship. She may be the captain s wife. If the ship is a steamer, there may be women passengers. The Idea of getting into this pair of canvas breeches may be repugnant to a woman, but sue does not hesitate a second. Pull ing her dress up around her, in she steps as unhesitatingly as though she were born to trousers. All she asks at that moment is to get ashore. There have been many devices for rescuing the shipwrecked, including the life car with which the stations on our coast are provided, but no other appliance is of such tried utility as the breeches buoy.

At the first of the fever, my mother gave me Ayer's Fills, my doctor recommending them as being better than anything ho could prepare.

Our method of introducing Prof. Harris' Pastille treatment is one which commends itaelf to all sensible persons for the reason that we supply it upon their judgment of Its value. We auk of our patrons nothing In the way of expense beyond a postal card and a two cent postage stamp.

The treatment in no way Interferes with person's attention to business, and causes no pain or Inconvenlenoe in any way. We are so positive that It will give perfect satis faction that we leave the matter of sending orders entirely with those using the free trial treatment. Having satisfied those sending for trial packages of our ability to benefit their sexual condition we feel that they are more largely Interested than ourselves In continuing the use of the Pastilles. Even then we do not attempt to rob them by de manding high prices. On the contrary, we make the prices as low as possible, and the same to all. They are as follows: S3 for one month j $6 for twomontns; 17 tor tnree montns. These prices secure the delivery of the Pastilles by mall. If deBtred by express we leave the patient to pay tbe charges. For over ten years we have operated our li.mii.ii.il ...imnrimu business upon this plan with satisfactory results.
