The necessity of physical ^exercise for men actively engaged in business and professions is one of the thing^tkat are often pointed out and never sufficiently realized by those who are most con­ cerned. Every-now and then the phys­ ical breakdown of some prominent man, who has neglected the laws of health and worked his mind to its utmost power, comes to emphasize the need, but the warning example is rarely heeded. The recent wreck of Sec­ retary Manning's abilities at the time when he should be in the very prime of life is a case in point. One-sided de­ velopment, resulting from constant brain-work and no exercise whatever, brought upon him the paralysis which has practically ended his usefulness, and from the effects of which he can never hope to recover. He is only one of many who have had a similar ex­ perience. Hundreds of active business and professional men are every year broken down by over-work, who would never have succumbed to the strain of pressing duties if they had kept their bodies healthy by physical exertion, •while urging the powers of the mind to the utmost limit. Examples of the advantages gained by the more reasonable course are numerous and easy to cite. Gladstone, by constant bodily exercise, has pre­ served to old mge a freshness and vigor that jxistify him in undertaking a great reform, the labor of which would appal many a strong man of 30. George Bancroft, the historian, owes to daily exercise in the saddle the sound bodily health that enables him to con­ tinue his mental work at the great age of 86. Oliver Wendell Holmes has pre­ served his health by due attention to gymnastics, and out-door recreation, and Roscoe Conkling, whom many deem the foremost in his profession to­ day, keeps himself well and strong by handling the Indian clubs and boxing gloves, by long walks, and by other health-giving employments. Similar examples might be multiplied indefi­ nitely, if it were necessary. Still the fact remains that those who keep themselves in fine physical condition to carry out their mental work are the exception rather than the rule. Americans generally take great in­ terest in athletic exercises--by paid professionals. They do not generally realize the benefit that would result from athletic exercise if they themselves would only indulge in it. Walking, riding, rowing, they regard as useless exertion, for which they have no time, and the benefit of which they do not see. They do not consider that a man who is physically wTell can accomplish twice the work done by the man who is half broken down by overwork. They do not realize that the time and toil re­ quired for suitable bodily exercise would be amply compensated for by the case with which the refreshed mind would accomplish the required task. System­ atic exercise soon becomes not an ex­ ertion but a delight. The sooner our over-worked business men find this out for themselves the better for them and for the country.--Somevville Journal. An Old Story Revamped. Speaking of close competition, the historian is reminded of a case out West that probably came as near bring­ ing business down to hardpan as any­ thing that Massachusetts dealers are familiar with. Two rival "genera! dealers" struck a new town with their commercial curiosity shops the same day, and each set about running out the other. They dealt in every sort of goods needed to supply the wants of a primitive community. One of the dealers, in order to completely put his competitor to rout, announced that he would give a free drink of whisky with every pur­ chase, and the business came pouring in. There hove upon the dealer's vision cue afternoon a venerable female, who proceeded to iinroll from her pocket- handkerchief, with much impressive- ness, a single hen's egg, which she laid upon the counter. "What are you givin' for eggs?" said she. "Twenty-five cents a dozen." "Well, that's a little over 2 cents apiece," said the old woman. "What are you gittin' for darnin' needles?" "A cent apiece." "Three for 2 cents, I suppose. Well, take this 'ere egg and give me thret darnin' needles." The dealer agreed to the bargain and passed her over the darning needles. "Now for the drink," said the old woman. The bottle and tumbler were set out ttjul the old woman poured a liberal portion into her glass. "I say, stranger," said she, "I don'c like whisky nohow without an egg in it. Break one in, will you?" The dealer shrugged his shoulders and broke into the woman's glass the egg that he had just "traded" for. And behold, as he did so two yolks fell into the whisky. "Hooray!" said the old woman, as she drank off the contents of the glass. "It's a double-yolked egg. Now, give me three more darnin' needles, please, for the extra yolk!" The dealer passed out the three extra needles with sublime resignation, and the old woman sat around as if she were waiting for something. "I say, stranger," she said finally, "you don't call them three last darnin' needles a new trade, db ye?" The dealer reached for his gun and the woman disappeared through the door.--Boston Record. A Scene at Harvard. Professor--Mr. B. I notice that you regularly absent yourself from prayers. I trust that you have a good and suffi­ cient reason for such neglect. Mr. B.--Yes, sir; conscientious scruples. Professor--Indeed, I am glad to know that you have conscientious scruples, will you explain them ? Mr. B.--I am an atheist, sir. Professor ( with surprise)--An atheist ? Is your father an atheist ? Mr. B.--No, sir; he is a Presbyterian. Professor--And your mother, I trust she is not an atheist? Mr. B.--No, sir; she is a Roman Catholic. Professor--Oh, ho! this is interest­ ing. I am delighted to know that an atheist is a cross between a Roman Catholic and Presbyterian. I will see you later, sir.--New York Tribune, A Curious Clock. A new French clock contains a novel application of the magnet. The clock appears like a tamborine with a circle of flowers painted on its parchment head. Around the circle crawl two bees, the larger requiring twelve hours to complete the circuit, while Jthe smaller makes it every hour. The flowers represent four divisions, and the bees, which are of iron, are moved by two magnets, carried just under the membrane, by the clock-work inside tile tamborin*. Fortone-Tellinpr. At the end of the first decade of the present century there lived in Paris a man of tremendous genius and power who had for ten years ruled France with a rod of iron, and who, in the year 1810, was virtually master of the Continent of Europe. One day this man disguised himself in a red wig and beard and a pair of blue spectacles-- normally he was pale, dark-haired, and clean-shaven--and went in a hackney- coach to the house of a famous profes­ sional sibyl called Mile, de Normand to have his fortune told. The wise woman scanned the lines of the palm of his hand, and said--so the story goes--"You will end where Venice ends. Good morning." Now, at the extremity of the Queen of the Adriatic, beyond the Lido, there is a tiny islet called St. Helena. It was at Long- wood House, St. Helena, that in the year 1821 there died a miserable and broken-hearted exile--thit Napoleon the Great who had been Emperor and King and the arbiter of Europe. He was the man disguised in the red wig and beard, with the blue spectacles, who called on Mile, de Normand. It is related that the day after his inter­ view with the sorceress he laughingly mentioned her enigmatical utterances to his brother-in-law, Joachim Murat, who in early life had been postilion to an innkeeper in the south of France, and who rose to be Grand Duke of Berg and King of Naples. To neither of the imperial and royal kinsmen did Mile, de Normand's prediction concern­ ing the end of Venice present any kind of purport or significance; but Murat observed that he would-try his luck and consult the wise woman herself. He went, not in disguise, but in undress uniform, and attended by an aide-de­ camp. Mile, de Normand received him with her usual coolness and aplomb. "I know who was here yesterday," she is reported to have said. "He came in disguise, and only paid a napoleon; vou are a king and must pay ten." The honorarium M as dulv disbursed. Then quotn Mile, de 'Normand to King Joachim: "Will you have the'grand jeu ?' That Mill be five napoleons ex­ tra. " The enchantress next produced a pack of cards of about four times the average dimensions, arranged them over again in different combinations, and dealt one card to Murat. "I deal you," she said, "the knave of hearts, the Grand Pendu; good morning." Now a person to whom the "Grand Pendu" is dealt is bound to die by the hand of the executioner. In 1815 Joachim Murat, dethroned and defeated, M as shot to death in Calabria by sen­ tence of court-martial composed of officers of the army which he had him­ self commanded. Murat, born and brought up in the south of France, may have been natur­ ally superstitious, and prone to place credence in the omens of white Matches. With Napoleon the case is different. Ho was a cold-Wooded, cynical, un­ scrupulous man of the world. He told systematically so many lies himself that he couht not reasonably be ex­ pected to believe the assertion of others, and, looking at the fact that he all but professed belief in the doctrines of Mo­ hammedanism when he was in Egypt, it may almost be assumed that he be­ lieved in nothing at all beyond himself and his destiny to conquer every country which he invaded, to steal every thing he could lay his hands upon, and to shed rivers of human blood. His enemies were never tired of proclaiming that, al­ though he had, through motives of policy, restored the celebration of Roman Catholic worship in France; he M as, to all intents and purposes, an atheist. Yet this freethinker, this cynic, this stoney-hearted tyrant and destroyer of mankind was from first to last a superstitious in all. Mere curiosity may have prompted him to assume a disguise and seek the white M itch in Paris; but he constantly proclaimed his belief in his star; he was secretly afraid of the legendary fantom known as the Little Red Man of the Tuileries, M ho, it is said, appeared to him in that palace M'lien he M as at the liiglit of his power and glory; appeared to him againhin Kremlin at Moscow the night before the conflagration: appeared to him, finally, at Fontainebleau the night before his abdication, when he tried to poison himself. And the prediction of the Little Red Man never failed to coincide with that of Mile, de Nor­ mand. Napoleon the Great, Emporer, and King, was to die at St. Helena. As for the M-hite witch at Paris, M ho amassed a large fortune by the confi­ dence reposed in her by the credulous, she existed to a time within the memory of persons still living. She went to England about the year 1842, and for some weeks transacted most profitable business in the fortune-telling line in the highest circles of rank and fashion. €are of the Teeth. The teeth should be brushed tM-ice a day. The proper time for this is on rising in the morning and on retiring at night In the morning a M ash may be used. Brush gently over the crowns of teeth. This removes any mucus the that has collected during the night, and leaves the mouth in a refreshed condition. Just before retiring, a tooth- powder should be employed, and parti­ cles of food that have lodged between the teeth removed, which, when left for several hours, result in the fermenta­ tion of an acid, which causes softening of the tooth-structure, and thus pro­ motes decay. After eating, a quill tooth-pick and floss-silk should be used for removing the debris.--Dr. Gilbert. The Photographed Pleiades. A remarkable photograph of the Pleiades shows 1,421 stars, while a carefully-drawn chart, prepared with about the same instrumental power, gives 626. Many small objects seen in the photograph do not appear in direct eye-observations. The im­ portance of the accurate photographic method of star-mapping is indicated by the fact that the hand-draM'n chart gives ten stars which have no existence. Railroad Operation. It has been calculated that when $1 railway fare is paid 15 cents of it goes to the stockholders, 20 cents to the bondholders, and 65 cents towards paying the cost of operating the road, being chiefly distributed among work- ingmen. This is a general computation which does not apply to every road, but is the average for all the roads in the country. TACITCB says that early marriage makes us immortal--that is, the soul and chief prop of empire--and that the man who resolves to live without woman, or the woman who resolves to live with­ out man, are enemies to themselves, destructive to the world, apostates from nature, arid rebels against heaven and earth. • NONE but God and the poor know what the poor do for each, other. ^ I MECHANIC ALi : T«i: rapid development of sugar cul­ ture in Queensland, Australia, suggests the possibility that it may become a second Cuba. FOK turning and drilling wrought- iron and steel, one ounce of a mixture of soft-soap, with half its weight of pearlash, in about one gallon of boiling water, is in every-day use in most en­ gineering shops. The work, though constantly moist, does not rust. IN a cannon foundry at Bourges, France, electricity has been success­ fully applied to mechanical purposes for more than five years, two large, movable cranes, each weighing over twenty tons, having been worked by electric motors without difficulty. IT has L>een found that compressed teak may be made to serve some of the purjK)ses for which boxwood, which is rapidly becoming scarce, is now being used. A powerful hydraulic press com­ pressing teak for loom-shuttles has just been made in Manchester, England. A 81'PERIOR M-aterproof paper, trans­ parent and impervious to grease, is made by saturating good paper -with a liquid prepared bv dissolving shellac at a moderate heat in a saturated solution of borax. Such a mixture may be col­ ored by the addition of various aniline dyes. THE Germans have been making ex­ periments with a view to ascertaining the relative strength of hard and soft steel, and iron beams or girders. The results sliOMr that the soft steel girders were 22 per cent, and the hard steel girders GG per cent, stronger than the iron girders, and the strength of steel M'as found substantially the same for the two flanges when similar in section. IT is very easy to make any ordinary paper temporarily translucent by simply dampening it with a sponge moistened M'ith benzine. In this condition it is sufficiently transparent to permit of the lines of a drawing being seen through it, and of ink or Mater-colors being used on its surface Mithout running. As the benzine evaporates the paper loses its transluceney and assumes its ordinary opaque appearance. If this oecurs too quickly, the part can easily be dampened again with benzine. The faint smell of the oil which M ill remain will disappear in a day or two if the paper is left exposed to the air. ' A METHOD of preventing the incrusta­ tion of boilers quite common in Ger­ many is as follows: The feed M ater is forced through one of the usual feed contrivances into the steam dome, in which it is mixed by a jet of steam en­ tering concentrically, in order that it may, during the mixing, be cast vio­ lently against the cover of the dome. The effect of this movement is that all the Mater receives the full temperature of the surrounding steam. By this sudden heating, air and carbonic acid are withdrawn from the M ater, and not only the carbonate of lime, but the sulphate of lime and .magnesium are extracted, and the precipitate occa­ sioned is periodically removed. AN English firm has introduced a new chimney-top M'hich is said to effect­ ually perfect down-draughts in chim­ neys. They are made from a number of grooved rings placed one on tlio other, but having intervening spaces between each ring (the rings when made of metal are tied together by rods, but M'lien made from clay they can be burned together). When the wind strikes the grooves it will return, and in doing so will draw air up the chimney, and up through the spaces at the top, thus preventing a down-draught and compelling an up-drauglit. No cowl or cap is needed; every action of the wind is provided for; the appliance is stationary and easily fixed by any bricklayer. When made in clay it is certainly less ugly than most similar contrivances. MOURNERS IN CORE A. How a Soldier Ran Awujr to Sea. One hundred and nine years ago, in the month of February, 1777, a French guardsman ran away to sea. And a most singular running away it M as. He did not wish to be a sailor, bift he M as so anxious to go that lie bought a ship to run away in,--for ho was a very. M-ealthy . young man; and though he M as only 19, lie held a com­ mission as .Major General in the armies of a land 3,000 miles away--a land he had never seen and the language of M-hich he could not speak. The King of France commanded him to remain at home; his friends and relatives tried to restrain him; and even the representa­ tives, or agents, of the country in de­ fense of M'hicli he desired to fight M'ould not encourage his purpose. And M'hen the young man, while dining at the house of the British Ambassador to France, openly avoM'ed his sympathy M'ith a downtrodden people, and his de­ termination to help them gain their freedom, the Ambassador acted quickly. At his request, the rash young en­ thusiast Mas arrested by the French Government, and orders Mere given to s6ize his ship, M'liicli Mas aM-aiting him at Bordeaux. But the ship and owner both slipped away, and, sailing from the port of Pasajes in Spain, the run­ away, M'ith eleven chosen companions, M as soon on the sea, bound for America, and beyond the reach of both friends and foes. On April 25, 1777, he landed at the little port of Georgetown, at the mouth of the Great Pee Dee River in South Carolina; and from that day forward the career of Marie Jean Paul Rocli Yves Gilbert Motier, Marquis de La Fayette, has held a place in the history of America, and in the interest and af­ fection of the American peox>le.-- Eugenia M.

Ttw Story of an Unhappy BachelwWk* Wanted to Marry and Could Not. In walking through the streets of Seoul, says a writer in the St. James Gazette, one often meets with figures clothed from head to foot in a grayish- yellow sackcloth, with bright yellow hats on their heads; men, moreover, who further disguise their identity by holding a piece of sackcloth stretched on pieces of stick in front of their faces. These are mourners. In the year 1882 a Japanese traveler who landed on the northern coast !oun<J the officials and all the inhabitants in this lugubrious masquerade. They were in mourning for the queen, who was supposed to have been murdered, but who, after the people had worn sackcloth half a year for her sake, emerged safe and sound from the hiding-place where she had taken refuge from the pursuit of her wicked father-in-law, Tai-on-Kun. For a queen it is customary to mourn twelve months, for parents and near kinsfolk three years. An aged bachelor was asked why he had never taken a wife. "My parents, as well as myself," he said, "were desirous that I should marry, and, a suitable young lady be­ ing found, our betrothal took place. Then my future father-in-law died, and we had, of course, to wait three years. I had hardly put off my mourning when I had to bewail the loss of my own poor father. Necessarily here was another term of three years' waiting. When these were up the mother of my future wife took sick and expired, and thus we were obliged to delay our mar­ riage another three years. * Lastly, I had the misfortune to lose my own dear mother, which naturally caused a fur­ ther adjournment. So that, as four times three makes twelve, that number of years had passed over our heads and made us both the older. At this my betrothed fell ill, and, as she was at death's door, I went to pay her a last visit. My future brother-in-law met me at the door, and said: 'Although you are not lawfully married, yet per­ haps I may for this once look upon you as man and wife; come in and see her.' I had hardly entered and been face to face M'ith my poor wife than she breathed her last. When I saw this all thoughts of marriage fled from me, and I have remained a bachelor ever since." . The Women of Switzerland. Henry Watterson, in Courier-Jour­ nal: The stranger in Switzerland will be struck at once hy the beauty of the country and the ugliness of the'women. Here nature seems to have spent her­ self upon inanimate objects and to have had no ^material left for humanity, which she composed out of the debris left over after she had constructed the mise en scene. A pretty face, native and to the manner born, is rarely, if ever, seen upon the streets of Berne. The women appear to do all the work. It is not unusual to see a girl and a dog hitched to a cart and trotting along together like a pair of ponies. The men, great strapping fellows, id'e and lazy, loaf about the brasseries. Their wives, daughters, and sisters till the fields and supply the markets. The dog, the goat, and the cow perform the offices commonly performed in other lands by the horse, the ox, and the mule. The bear is a sacred animal. So is the lion. The donkey does fancy duty at the summer-resorts. But there is nothing to which the Swiss woman may not turn her hand, from milking a goat to sawing a cord of wood and drawing a load of hay. She is put to work in her childhood, and before she reaches her maturity she looks like a grandmother, wrinkled and weather beaten, bent and careworn. The cir­ cumstance, which appears at every turning and is written upon each countenance, leaves a painful impres­ sion and discredits the national charac­ ter. A people so independent and so brave, so unaffected and so frugal as the Swiss are admitted to be, ought to be gentler. Decrease of the American Colony. All the members of the American colony in Paris deplore its steady de­ crease, but 1 do not know that Ameri­ cans at home have any reason to grieve. For the kind of American who likes to live abroad that he may rub shoulders with royalty and dine with a duke now and again, Paris, without the false glimmer of the imperial court, is Paris no longer, and he hies him across the channel in the hope of getting into the Prince of Wales' set. There are still not a few Americans who "know their Paris" far better than they do New York, and are proud of it, who can take you straight from the Boule­ vard des Capucines to the Hole-in-the- Wall, where you get eggs scrambled with truffles, while they would stare blankly if you were to ask them to guide you from Madison Square to the Fried Cat.

Your average Congressman does not serve more than two terms at the farthest, and very many are retired with one. Not more than a score of these 325 Congressmen have served more than four terms in the House, and it would be curious, if one had the statistics, to estimate the average du­ ration of the politician's life. The average business man's life ranges from fifteen to twenty years, and the average working days of the journalist are said to be included in fifteen years. The politician has an average much less than either of these, and it is only the fewest who are able to keep their heads ©n the top of the waters of popularity for a decade. It is true that some do last a longer time, but the proportion is less than in other business." Carp* in Cleveland Leader. IaiporauiT.

Earthquakes and Other Earth More* meats. We are accustomed to think of the land of the earth as something solid and fixed; and, as a testimonial of this impression, the Latin phrase terra firma, firm land or solid ground, has been naturalized in the languages of nearly all civilized peoples. On the other hand, we speak of water as un­ stable. But the geological history of the earth and the more careful obser­ vations of modern times have taught us that these ideas do not correctly repre­ sent the qualities of the land-masses and water-masses of the globe as com­ pared with one another. Tlie ancient shore-marks on the continents and the phenomena of elevation and subsidence that have been observed in historic times, confirming their evidence, Bhow that the land and the ocean are contin­ ually changing their level as to one another, and it has further been made evident, by experiment as well as by a priori reasoning, that it is not the ocean that changes, but the land which un­ dergoes alternate movements of eleva­ tion and depression. An earthquake shock is a phenomenon well adapted to destroy the faith of any person who feels one in the fixedness of the earth; and such, by the evidence, is the effect for the time on all who experience these shocks. Even the light pulsa­ tions which sometimes pass over parts of the United States occasion panic and excite a momentary impression that everything is falling over or sinking away; while the more violent shocks that are felt in the earthquake infested countries produce in des -ribable ter­ ror ; and such catastrophes as those historical earthquakes of Lisbon and Caracas, and the more recent ones of Ischia and the Strait of Sunda amount to a demonstration that the reason for such terrors is real, and that the conti­ nents also can not escape the general law of change and perishability. Earth movements -- the name by which these phenomena may be most conveniently described--are various, and comprise, so far as they are now considered, earthquakes, or audden vio­ lent movements of the ground; earth- tremors, or minute movements which usually escape attention by the small- ness of their amplitude; earth pulsa­ tions, or movements which are over­ looked on account of the length of their period; and earth oscillations, or move ments of long period and large ampli­ tude--like the sh fting of land-masses --which attract attention from their geological importance. Some of these movements have only recently begun to attract attention. They are all inti­ mately associated in their occurrence and their origin.--Popu lar Science Monthly.

Masculine Conclusions as to Women. It is a settled masculine conclusion that one womau never allows beauty in another. There is no need to dispute the question. A man is like a pig. He finds an idea in the soft mire of his brain and loves to wallow in it. So, in particular, does he enjoy flounder­ ing in this notion of the selfishness and vanity of women. Now, for a truth,, iomen do acknowledge any charm in their sex. But a custom has arisen of late years that the majority of sensible women resent. It is that of selecting and bowing down to some two or three of their sex. These are called beau­ ties. No one knows how, why, or when tliey were christened such. Some toady starts the flattery, and thoughtless peo­ ple drop into line. But when some woman asked if Miss Beeswax is not perfectly lovely declines to agree, down upon her sit the brainless crowd, and "she is jealous," etc. Many a woman says that another is charming just be­ cause she knows what will be said if she doesn't. But speaking of praise reminds me that I actually heard one mnn say that another was a "splendid tellow" without a but. I tried to catch him and pin him up with my other curios, but was not quick enough.
