A somew hat similar story is told of

j Great Minda At Sea.
i Many of the greatest minds of the
i world have Ihh'u upon the ocean, but
j how few great thoughts have been con
j eeived at sea, says the Ocean. 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.

pathetically with the holder of the

w hose hair continued to be suspiciously
resplendent, as of macassar, after weeks
of Incarceration, was nn object of some
wonderment, ft on to the chaplain, un
til she explained to him iu confidence
that she allowed her broth to grow cool

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. At length a
bird licgan to sing on John's side of the
road and a luckv thought struck him.
Bessie," said he, with a gentle
sipieose of the arm, "dost hear yon
bird?"
"Av, lad." she answered.
"What does it scent to thee to singr"
he asked.
T can not tell." said she. "Whal
does it seem to thee?"
"Whi-st. Bessy," cried he; "it seems
to me to sing T love thee! 1 love thee!""
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!
I love thee!'"
"Well," said she, "my bird sings
Show it! Show it!"'
Hugo on Immortality.
I feel 5n myself the futuro life. I um
like a forest which has been more than
once cut down. 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.
A Roll of Paper Fourteen Miles Lng

paper in the exhibit of Hartje Brothers,

paper is ninety-six inches wide, four
teen miles long and weighs 2,6581
pounds. This mammoth bundle of pa

isr said to be the largest sheet ver
turned out of any mill. The roll has
been named "The Jumbo," and when
it was being removed from the station

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.
Edward E. Gatef, of Indianapolis, a
mem tier of Yale College, at New Haven
on March 9 undeetook to cover 16 miles
on foot inside of 3 hours. Three stu
dents had previously covered the dis
tance in 3 hours 40 minutes. Gates had
to run over a rough, muddy and frozen
up hill and down dale course to West
ville, through the Glen over the Wood
bridge Hills and into town, down the
long hill of Woodbridge back to West
ville and New Haven. Gates made the
distance, however, accompanied by two
carriages, in 2 hours 51 minutes, and
was pretty badly used up. Next day he
was con lined to his room, stiff and lame,
Stains From Colored Hosiery.
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

A Versatile Lltr.
In a stove store the other day a man
rame rushing iu and said to the pro
prietor: Have you gone into lying for a
trado?"
"Oh. no."
"Well, yon lied alout that stove."
"Man on his way up there now to put
It up. Rushed to death, you know.
Ilojie you haven't suffered."
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."
Stove pipe Is on the wagon there
and ready to go np, ma'am. Woke np
In the night to hope you wouldn't be
put out."
The third caller was a boy, who
stood iu the door and called:
"Hey, you! My father says he'd like
to knock your head off."
"Oh, yes; you are Mr. Blank's eon.
Just sent a man up to your house with
that danier ten minutes ago. Ixst
the sale of a stove to hurry hini off."
"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. That door has been
broken for five years, but it's only
within tho past week that she has de
cided to have it tixed. She'll be sav

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.
