Beware of the man who thinks he has nopé, for he is the man most likely to be permeated, saturated with whimsicalities, Our whims become a part of our character, just as our virtues or our vices; indeed, with some of us they become so prominent that they overshadow everything else in our natures, and we would not be recognized by our friends if, like Christian at the Beautiful Gate, we shoald suddenly lose the burden and appear before them, I know a woman—a noble, generous-hearted woman in most things—who tips the scales at 200 pounds, whose principal whim is that she is not so la&ge as she looks. Wherever she g she becomes the terror of the modiste. Her first remark, always to a new one, is to be sure toremember that she is not so large as she seems at first sight, She is continually chang- ing because, as she says, they don’t understand her figure and always make her look larger than she is, 1 know ‘@ man who fancies that his early teachers spoiled a first-class artist by not en- couraging his school-day caricatures. He never speaks of art and artists without bring- ing up the thought that many an embryo Raphael has been killed by the frosts of dis- approval. As he always supplements this as- sertion with his own personal” experience, it is quite patent to his friends that when he says many one he means particularly the one who wears his shoes, Iknow another man so grotesque in feature that his face would make a g illustration for a comic almanac or a copy of Dickens, whose favorite whim is that he bears a great resemblance to the illustrious Benjamin Frank- lin, Never having crossed the path of any of the old statesman’s heirs and acquainted them with his belief, he has lived to old age. He derives great comfort from the statement of-the mental scientist who affirms that if two people look ahke it betokens a similarity of mind.

Nothing will be doneat present with the case of Brooks, convicted of violating the law, as the sentence is suspended for sixty days, and the case will be carried to a higher court, on the allegation that the prose- cuting witness was allowed to remain in the grand jury room after he had given his testi- mony, and upon other grounds, Nores.—The democratic primaries will be held to-night in the first ward at the Concor- dia, in the second ward at the mayor's office, in the third at the county court house, and in the fourth at the Friendship engine house.——The funeral of Capt.

The Glastonbury stockinet factory, at Hart- ford, Conn., was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. A scene of wild excitement ensued as the imprisoned girls appeared at the win- dows calling for help. There had been no adequate provision made for such an emer- ency either in the matter of fire-escapes or ders and there was no means of extinguish- ing the flames. As the flames crept quickly to- ward the windows the girls climbed out on the sills and the crowd below directed them to jump. This they did and were caught inthe arms of men below. One of the girls had a leg fractured and a dozen others were burned severely, but not dangerously, 00 A Postmaster Shot Dead. Postmaster Gray, at Gain, Lamar county, Ala., was shot and killed on Wednesday by a man, who escaped. Gray lived an hour and gave the following account of the affair: A few days ago a package came to the office ad- dressed “Cain.” No person living there bear- ing that name he returned it to the sender. Aman named Burrows called for the package yesterday, and, being told it had been returned, asked Gray if he had seen its contents, Gray said yes, upon which Burrows shot him and threatened to shoot Mrs, Gray and her sister. Gray said the package had come to the office partly open aon ta oul a help seeing that it contained a white mask. Gray also said Bur- rows was the same Rube Burrows, the Arkan- sas train robber, who escaped trom the officers at Montgomery, Ala., a year or so ago, the time his brother Jim was caught and carried back to Arkansas. Wherein Women Have Corrupted Men. From the Pioneer-Press, The gum-chewing habit is certainly on the increase through@gtthecountry, An epidemic has fastened itself upon the best and fairest of America’s daughters from Maine to California, and from five years of age up to those uncer- tain days that lie beyond the hope of matri- mony. And from the daughters and wives and sweethearts this form of maxillary calisthenics lias been communicated to fathers, husbands, sons and lovers, until America has become a nation of gum chewers. The sales of chewing gum in Minneapolis have nearly doubled in the last year. Se gy The Petrel Doesn’t Go Very Fast. On the return of the Petrel to Bultumore last night from her trial trip it was learned that her best speed, under forced draught, wss 13 7-10 knots or 15!g statute miles for a short time, while the average speed for the four-hour test was only 11 7-10 knots or 13 5-10 statute miles, It was though that the low average speed was due to improper coaling, the coal being of poor quality aud the fires being started long beiore tue test. Going ubead at seven knots the en- gines were stopped in five seconds, backed in three minutes and the ship gathered stern- board in three minutes and twenty seconds. With ship in dead water, with helm hard-a- starboard, the engines were started ahead at full speed, making about six knots, and the vessel made a complete circle in five minutes and forty seconds.

The New York Yacht Club Offers No Special Cup. From the New York Times, To-day. The meeting of the New York yacht cinb, held yesterday afternoon, at Delmonico’s Broad-street place, laid a rather large wet blanket upon the earl of Dunraven's eager- ness to send the Valkyrie to this country by refusing to put upa special cup to be raced for by the visitor. The meeting was large and entirely unanimous on this point. The earl, however, is given the of entering ali the club events, which would undoubtedly be accorded to any other visitor. There was very evident dissatisfaction in the minds of all present at the manner in which the Royal Yacht squadron had treated the subject of Earl Dunraven’s challenge, important busin ft the ner of 1! ess of the mee! was, aa ee a of the mets cap com!

With this committee’s functions end. We ask to ve our report accepted and the committee dis- charged. The report was subsequently modified by substituting for the sentence following “‘if will- ing so to do” the clause “‘and we fail to under- stand their misconception on this point.” A resolution was unanimously adopted ac- cepting the report of the America’s cup com- mittee, and requesting the committee to pub- lish the same in pamphlet form for distribu- tion. Frederic J. Tans offered this resolution, which was also unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the New York yacht club do not put upa ‘ial cup for competition in a match race with the Valkyrie, as suggested in Earl Dunraven’s letter of Junb 24, 1599, to the chairman of the America’s cup committee, but that all the club events be opened to him, and that the earl of Dunraven be so notified by the secretary, On motion of ex-Commodore 8. Nicholson Kane, chairman of the Regatta committee, that committee was authorized to spend $600 for cups as first and second prizes, to be raced for during the coming cruise by single stickers of the 70 and 40 foot classes. It was generally understood by those at the meeting that Gen. Paine would decline to act as Lord Dunraven’s representative. It was known that he had expressed his intention to wait until he learned the result of the New York Yacht club’s meeting yesterday before making up his mind one way or the other. It had been suggested to him that if a match were made by the club for the boat which in all probability would have been selected to defend the cup against the Valkyrie it would be made for the Volunteer, and in that case, if he were Lord Dunraven's representative, he would be in the anomalous position of acting against his own boat. ‘This obstacle was removed by yes- terday’s action of the club, and it is now possi- ble that he may consent to act for the earl. The action of the club was communicated to Gen. Paine yesterday afternoon by ex-Commo- dore Smith. The general's decision will proba- by be announced ina day or two, if not to- iy. On Wakefulness, From Medical Classics, The primary cause of wakefulness is an in- crease in the quantity of blood circulating in the brain; hence, any condition or cause capa- ble of inducing this state of the cerebral circu- lation may give rise to it. As these causes are more or less under the control of the individ- ual, it is important that they should be gen- erally known. 1, Excessive ana long-continued intellectual action, or powerful mental emo- tions, 2. Those positions of the body which tend to impede the flow of blood from the brain, and. at the same time, do not obstruct its passage to the brain, Many physicians have noticed the connection existing between bodily position and wakefulness, It is evident that the recumbent position is more conducive to a state of congestion of the brain than the erect or semi-erect. Dr. Forbes Winslow, Dr. Ham- mond and other physicians have noticed an increase in the number and intensity of hallucinations of insane _ patients, or persons suffering from delirium tremens as soon as they assume the recumbent position. ‘These patients have been found to sleep quietly for some time in an arm-chair, but to be an- noyed by hallucinations as. soon as they he down. 3. Certain substance used as medicine or food. The chief agents of this class are alcohol, tea—especially strong green tea— coffee, opium, belladonna, stramonium, and Indian hemp or hashish, Opium in small doses is often especially potent in inducing wakeful- ness. A single dose of halfa grain has been known to keep a patient awake for three con- secutive nights. All the so-called narcotics in small doses induce wakefulness rather than sleep. 4. Functional derangements of certain organs of the body, whereby an increase in the amount of blood in the brain is produced. As, however, such cases as these are beyond the control of the sufferer, we need not discuss them here. In all those eases of wakefulness dependent upon severe and long continuous mental exertion—and these are the cases to which we especially wish to draw the attention of our readers—all means of relief will be utterly useless until the patient con- sents to give his brain entire relaxation for a time. Whenever it is possible, a course of travel through a romantic country, or a visit to the seaside, should be regarded as impera- tive. An early dinner, followed by a hearty supper of plain and nutritious dishes, is pre- ferable to a heavy late dinner; and a glass or two of imperial crown sherry or some equally choice and good wine at both meals, or a glass of good whisky or brandy and water after supper may often be taken with advantage. The value of physical exercise—and especially riding—in the open air, can searcely be over- estimated, and should be carried on to the point of incipient fatigue. A shower bath in the morning, and a warm bath before retiriny to rest, are useful auxiliarie ig! and not too soft a pillow should be used; and, if the feet are very cold, a hot-water bottle should be placed at the bottom of the bed. If the preceding means—all or most of which the paticnt can try for himself—fail, recourse should at once be had to professional advice, The Fate of Old Shoes. From the Shoe and Leather Review. It may have been noticed that nowadays very few old shoes and scraps of leather are observ- able lying in our streets or dustheaps, This is in a great measure due to the collections of old scraps of leather, which are taken to mills where they are cut up into fine dust. To this is added about 40 per cent of India rubber, and the whole is then subjected to a pressure of 6,000 or 10,000 pounds per square foot, The substance is then colored, and it is sold at ices some 50 per cent below that of natural Teather.

It is not to be wondered at that the news- papers have very generally been inclined to ridicule or to doubt the announcement that Dr. Brown-Sequard, the venerable French physician, has discovered the long-sought-for “vital principle” and produced a concoction which can indefinitely prolong human exist- ence. Men have long since ceased to seek for the elixir of life over which genera- tions dreamed, and most men, let us hope, have ceased to care for it or think of the mysterious essence of Margrave or Van Hel- mont save with the same amused pity with which they read of the painful struggle of the alchemists for the secret which should trans- form baser metals into gold. It has very nat- urally seemed absurd, then, that a = ae ologist of the nineteenth century should have seriously set himself at work to prove the sibility of the end sought by man in the mii ages, and the disposition to regard the story as a hoax is certainly pardonable, despite the fact that even eminent physiologists of the nineteenth century have expressed the opinion that there is no " reason why man should die. But the story is not altogether a hoax. Dr. Brown-Sequard has not professed to have found the secret of earthly immortality, but he cer- tainly appears to have persuaded himself that he has discovered something very nearly akin to that “vital principle” which Mr. Aifred R. Wallace still believes to exist. The distinguished Frenchman—so says that able review, the New York Medical Journal—has long believed that such a principle resides in one of the organs of the body, at least so far that the blood hit is enormously influenced ereby. With blood taken from the veins of young aninals he has therefore for a series of years been inocu- lating old and broken-down animals, and with such surprising results that he has more re- cently been experimenting upon his own sys- tem. Dr. Brown-Sequard is by no means a young man—he is fast nearing four score—but these subcutaneous injections seem to have re- juvenated him, as well as the animals upon which he first made his tests. An old and de- crepit dog became endowed anew with friski- ness of comparative youth; and he himself, as he tells the is Societe de Biologie, has felt his muscular strength in great measure re- turned and his mental vigor materially in- creased. This is practically all that is yet known in this country of the result of the doctor's ex- periments or of his deduction concerning them, though it is safe tosay that he has fad no thought beyond the possibility of so restoring the waste of the system as to temporarily post- pone the day of inevitable dissolution. But a claim even of so much will not be received without much questioning and after the fullest confirmation, because of its wide importance, and more icularly because of the radical and almost fundamental changes in our view of physiological laws which it involves, Indeed, it is not easy to believe, without the evidence of years of the most careful and the widest ex- tended experiment and observation, that there can be any single prophylactic against all the ills of mortality. Nor is such a thing to be de- sired as that man should violate the laws of his being and still escape the penalty of his mis- deeds. Much hasbeen written upon this subject in re- centyears, Mr. H.C, Kirk published an interest- ing little work —_ “The Possibility of not Dy- ing” some half adozen yearsago. Dr.W.A. Ham- mond back in the sixtiees advanced the theory that there is no physiological reason tor death; Sir Spencer Weils, ‘the famous English surgeon, has quite recently expressed his belief that the natural duration of human life should be at least 100 years, with an occasional extension of some ten or fifteen years more; and even acen- tury ago Bichat, whose intuitions wonderfully rer wen the conclusions of a later science, held that the normal longevity of our race should be at least ninety-six years, basing his inference upon e fact that the life term of all own mammals exceeds at least six times the period of their growth. But all these have based their opinions upon the belief that the decay of the human organism could be prevented, not repaired — that is, by healthful surroundings, by proper food and drink and clothing. by abstinence from immoralities and excesses physical and mental. And it is only a long life thus obtained that it is for the good of humanity to acquire. ‘Lhe theory is simple, and it 1s something more than plausible. ‘ihe animal body differs from any inorganic machine in the fact that it pos- sesses the power of self-repair, and so long as the repair can be precisely adjusted to the waste life will continue, save by the interrup- tion of accident. The question, of course, is whether it is practically possible to make these two actions exactly counterbalance each other for an indefiuite period, or even for any very great number of years beyond what is now considered the normal duration of life. Possibly not, and yet it is, on the other hand. not a little significant that the average duration of human life bas been in- creased something more than six years within the past haif century, as a'result of our greater sanitary knowledge and our knowledge of the means to prevent disease, The list of prevent- able diseases is already a large one and is being augmented from year to year, Where we shall stop no man can say, though the ability we have to prolong life already far exceeds our willingness to apply the knowledge. A hun- dred years may not be an over-estimate of the natural limit of life a-few generations hence, and we ourseives might indeed be much nearer that limit if as uations we strove honestly and persistently after it. Atleast it 18 to be said that long life thus gained is the only life worth having, and the oniy life which would not prove curse rather than a blessing to the human race. tee Progress of the English Language. From the Sunday School Times. The English ianguage is now spoken in En- gland, Scotland and Ireiand, in the British pos- sessions of Gibraltar, Malta and Cyprus, in the British provinces of East and West India, Aus- tralia, South Africa and Canada; that is, in jarge parts of five continents.

But now the English istalmost as much taught as the French, and the English and American classics are re- published by Tauchnitz of Leipsic for conti- nental circulation.

HOW WOMEN GO AFISHING. Though Most of Them Prefer the Fly. From the New York Sun. there are lots of women who go@ afishing,” said one of the oldest members of the South Side club, who is equally expert as a salt water and fresh water fisherman. “Ifthe ma- jority of women knew of the fun and the seem that most women if asked what they think of Sishing as an enjoyable pursuit would in reply assume about the same attitude that most women do toward exercising the elective franchise, In the first place they don’t know anything about it experimentally, and im the next place men bave assumed as their manly prerogatives, ys | would on that account consider the practice of the gentle art unfeminine, Lable a feminine,’ and it is a boycott on it to the femiutne mind. “But it is just because it is a gentle art,” ssid the old angler, lighting a fresh cigar, “that women ought to enjoy it, Women ride after the hounds ata fox hunt, and they are more and more entering into the enjoyment of men's sports and competing with them in business, Let the dear creatures fish. It fills their lungs with fresh air, deepens their narrow chests, cures weak nerves, aids digestion and gives them plenty of exercise. This is true, both im fresh and salt water fishing. With the in- creasing attention paid by women to physical and muscular development there ought to be room made by men for the women to join them in their active sports, so that their ruddy cheeks | and strong limbs may be preserved. If ama- zonian acquirements are not be used, why ac- quire them in gymnasiums? “Yer, there are objections that arise at once to fishing becoming general among women,” continued the angler. “One objection is that | women will not handle live bait or have any- | thing to do with it. The reply to that objec- tion is that women who fish usually fish with the fly, or if they fish in salt water a fisherman friend puts on jive bait, and when a big fish is hooked he pulls it in. Another ob; ion to @ woman's fishing is that the sun burn her | skim and spoil her complexion, to say nothing of the smart it causes her. In answer to that objection I can point you to my wife's experi- |ence, It is her custom to begin the season by remaining on the water for half an hourat first, and increasing the length of time until the skin is toughened by exposure. Before the end ot May she can remain on the water all day. She prefers when fishing in the Great South bay with live bait to put on the bait herself, wearing a strong pair of gloves to prevent | soiling har hands. “As regards salt water fish- | ing, however, women will probably not care #0 much for it as fresh water fishing, and will go bobbing on the waves of Prince's bay or Jamaica bay mainly to accompany their fisher- men friends and partake in their pursuits for social reasons, “In esh water fishing women are often adepts,” the old stager continued. “I do not men by that to refer to women who fish as Mra, Frances Folsom Cleveland fishes. As soon as Mrs Cleveland gets a bite Mr. Cleveland plays the fish and pulls him. There are many women who can cast cast a fly as deftly asa man and a good deal more gracefully. It isn't necessary to say that women cannot wade brooks or on long tramps up and down a trout brook. They fish from row boats on a river or lake, and I have seen women who were reared in luxury in this town play a trout in the Adiron- dacks with all the skill and enjoyment of a pro- fessional.

From the Fortnightly Keview. With regard to food we find from Dr. Hum- phrey’s report that 9 per cent of the aged per sons were either “moderate” or “small” eaters, and such moderation is quite in accord with the teachings of physiology. In old age the changes in the bodily tissues gradually become less and less active, and less food is reqaired to make up for the daily waste. The appetite and the power of digestion are correspondingly diminished, and, although for the attainment of a great age a considerable amount of digest- ive power is absolutely necessary, its perfec- tion, when exercised upon proper articles of diet, is the most important characteristic. In- duigence in the pleasures of the table is one of the common errors of advanced life, and is not infrequent in persons who, up to that period, were moderate or even small eaters. Luxuries in the way of food are apt to be regurded as rewards that have been fully earned by a life of labor and may, therefore, be lawfully en- joyed. Hence arise many of the evils and troubles of old age, and notably in- digestion end gouty symptoms im various form: besides ‘mental comfort. No hard and fast rales can be laid down, but strict moderation should be the guid- ing maxim, The diet suitable for most aged persons is that which contains much nutritive material in @ small bulk, and its quantity should be in proportion to the appetite and power of digestion, Animal iood, well cooked, should be taken sparingly and not oftener than twice a day, except under special circumstances, Dr, Parkes advocates rice as a partial substitute for meat when the latter is found to disagree with old persons. “Its starch grains are very di- gestible, and it supplies nitrogen in moderate amount, well fitted to the worn and slowly-re- paired dissues of the aged.” Its bulk, however, is sometimes a disadvantage; in small quantities regular intervals, A sense of fullness or op- Pression after eating should not be disregarded, # indicates that the food taken has 9 been other too abundant or improper ity.
