Men of i the highest genius seem to be trans formed as soon as they get. at a dis tance from land in a rolling vessel There is an inability to control the mind while at sea, a dilliculty in con centrating the attention on the task ot even writing iu one's diary, or reading even the most trifling liction. From this experience the best disciplined minds are not free. When at home on laud they can, without friction or dis turbance, carry on mental operations even w hile manyre talking or playing about them; thuir faculties are so well poised that they obey the word of com mand, but at sea they can do nothing with the intellect. Were it not for tho impossibility of controlling the intel lectual forces a ship on a long voyage would be the best conceivable retreat for those who wish to think, or write, tir read. EASTERN NEWS.

At length 't was disi-oveifd that the red threads woven among the blue shirts which she lunl to sew would, when drawn out and chewed, jlehl the bloom yearned after by the cheek of lieauty. The manner in w hich nearly every woman finds it Msille to disarrange ami double one of her underskirts and present the fascinations of a crinolette is so comic that it has been know n to wring a smile from that gravest among men a prison chaplain.

Once nn a lime a rustic swain and damsel lived near each other, says the St. Louis l!?pnlilii: He lieeanio smitten with her charms, but had not courage to tell bis love. At length, finding she was becoming an object of attraction to other swains and that he was in danger of losing her, he was induced to invite her to walk with him to a spot w here lovers are fond of rambling, up a shady lane. His heart was full, but his lips were closed; he eoutd not bring his courage to the popping Mint, w bile she, Hor thing, cast dow n her ees and was perfectly mute, though she under stood for w hat purpos ho had brought her to that lonely spot.

They walked on iu silenoe until a bird began to sing on the damsel's side of the road. "Johnny," said she, "dost hear thai bird?" "Ay, lass," he answered. Well." sheweut on, "what does it Boeni to thee to sing?'' "I ran not tell," he said. 'What did thy bird sing?" she asked. "Why. my bird sang," he said w ith another gentle squeeze, "I love thee!

The new shoots are stronger and livelier than ever. I am rising. I know, toward the sky. The sunshine is over my head. The earth gives me its generous sap, but heaven lights me with the reflection of un known worlds. Vou say the soul is noth ing but the resultant of bodily powers. Why, then, is my soul tho more lum inous when my bodily powers begin to fail? Winter is on my head aud eternal Spring is iu my heart. Then 1 breathe at this hour the fragrance of the lilies, the violets and tho roses as at -0 years. The nearer I approach tho end the plainer I hear around me the im mortal symphonies of the words which unite me. Jt is marvelous, yet simple. It is a fairy tale, and it is history. For half a century 1 have been writ ing my thoughts iu prose, verse, hisr torv, philosophy, drama, romance, tra dition, satire, ode, song 1 have tried all. But 1 feel I have not said the thousandth part of what is in me. When I go down to the grave I can say, like so many others, "I have linished my days work," but I cau not say. "I have finished my life." My day's work will be again the next morn ing. The tomb is not a blind alley; it is a thoroughfare. It closes in the twi light to open with the dawn. I improve every hour because I love this world as my fatherland. My work is only a beginning. My work is hard ly above its foundation. I would be glad to see it mounting and mounting forever The thirst for the intiuite proves infinity, Victor Hugo.

American pugilists now springing up, are of an improving kind, and of better quantity and quality than the average of the English pugilists, and they are stars in their profession, and will not compete for paltry purses in England, when they can do better in this country without running the risk of a voyage, and then taking the chances of not receiving fair play, or of losing a battle by the decision of a prejudiced or partial referee.

More than half the fashionable wo men of New York have dyed feet, and if there J anything In chemistry lo re move the silk stocking stain I haven't heard aliout It, says a New York cor respondent of the'Ciuelnnati Cn'uirer. Un the slab in the vapor baths it is not unusual for the attendant to spend about an hour w 1th a siphon of hot water, a flesh-brush and a cake of soap, actually scouring a woman's feet, from which the skin would be easier of removal than the blotches of green, black, blue, brown and red that stick like the colors of an' Easter egg. in the cooling-room it frequently happens that these mottled phalanges' form the medium of conversation which brings together congenial souls, w hate ver bene fit their mutual sides realize. What do you use on your feet? is the leader as a rule, and just as certain as there is in answer it is everything: These dyed-in-the-wool dames and damsels will sit in their sheet giving and get ting w hatever information they can as to the lest jwssible means of removing the dye without the derm. As a rule these Indies are rather proud of their Stains, which are regarded in some what the same manner that men ex hibit their sears. A woman with a well dyed foot, something with patches of Paris green, both blue and nasturtium tints, can always be et down as a genuine silk stocking. In all proba bility she hasn't a pair of lisle threads or balbriggans to her name. The foot with black edges lielougs to a rich widow or au heiress, mourning in ebony hosiery, and to the heel and ankle blushing with crimson, magenta and scarlet may be attributed the "deli cate finery of a sybarite. Scrubbing is of little avail. The feet have to be soaked, and even then the dye seems lixed, albeit they swell until it Is al most impossible for them to get a regular boot on. I heard one lady of luxury, whose pedals were painted like artificial snakes, say that she didn't try to scrub her feet clean. Her plan was to dry them over a register until the skin ln'i ame parched and then brush aw ay the epidermis, and the dye went with it. It is useless to remonstrate with the hosiery dealers, for unless a woman pays $j a pair for oitera lengths, or is w illing to wear silk tights for the sake of having natural-hxikiiig feet, it is imimssible lo gel stockings that will not crock. "All 1 ask," said a demure little wo man, w ith the colors of aiptashed blne herries.oti her Understandings, - is that in case of an autopsy they won't take off my stockings." A Versatile Lltr.

The next caller was a woman, who fastened a cold glare on the stove man and deliberately said: 'I'll never do a cent's worth of busi ness with you again if I live here fifty years."

"Are those a fair sample of your callers?" was asked the dealer. "Just aliout. I catch it about twen ty times a day at this season of the year." "And you never talk back P" "Xever. I hustle and do the best I can, and if a kicker comes in I hold my peace or talk taffy. One word back talk would lose their trade. Everybody waits till the last minute for a stove or repairs, and then every body comes with a rush. There comes a woman to blow me about fixing a door to a stove.

Dul you ever think, says the St, Louis Jtrpublic, how many male and female ancestors were required to bring you into the world? First, it was nec essary that you should have a father and mother that makes two human beings. Again, each of them must have had a father and mother making eight more human beings. So on we go back to the time of Jesus Christ fifty-six generations. The calculation thus resulting shows that 132,23.5.017, 489,534.976 births must have taken place in order to bring you into this world you, who read these lines. All this since the birth of Christ not since the beginning of time. According to Proctor, if from a single pair, for 5.000 years, each husband and wife hail married at 21 years of age and there had been no deaths, the ipulation of the earth would be 2,199,915 followed by 144 ciphers. It -would require to hold this population a number of worlds the size of this, equal to 8,166, 626 followed by 12.5 ciphers. The hu man mind shrinks in contemplating such immense numliers. Sitting on the Feet. An active woman will destroy more upper leather in the house in a given time than she will on the street; there are many more obstacles to the square yard to te encountered in the house than on the street; more stair-climbing, more rubbing of the feet on the chair rounds, and bust, but not least, more feet sat upon in that luxurious feminine pose. The wear of tippers of women's shoes by the friction of the skirts is greater than many people suppose. Men's trousers do very . little damage compared to the heavy "and constant, rubbiug of the skirts against the back of the shoes. There are no shoes made for women that will compete with men's calf shoes in durability under hard knocks. Un fortunately women do not and will not wear calfskin shoes; they ate at a dis advantage in this respect. A Venerable Cat. The oldest cat in . Massachusetts is;., iead.
