MAGAZINES.
The September number of the Engineer
inn Magazine is usually well freighted,
even as compared with its preceding num
bers. As cue of the contributors to a ree mt
numbersays: “Itsaim and spirit are to pre
sent to intelligent readers the very ago and
holy of tho time; this marvelous time,
in which each day adds some;hing ro scien
tific achievement aud mechanical resources,
in which scientific knowledge and skill are
performing such miracles that not to know
something about them is to be practically
out of the world of thought aud action.”
A survey of the contents demonstrates that
it ranks with the host American magazines,
both in the character of its articles and the
beauty of its illustrations; with the addi
tional merit, that while instruction is never
subordinated to entertainment, it never
ceases to bo entertaining as well as instruct
ive. The Engineering Magazine, World
building, New York.
The most timely and interesting feature
of the September number of tho Sew Eng
land Magazine is a finely illustrated arti
cl© on tbe iat© Kdward Burgeiand his boats.
The writer is A. G. McVey, the yachting
oditor of the Boston Herald, who was for
some years au intimate friend of the famous
yacht designer and builder. Outline
sketches and photogravures of his best
known yachts, the winner of the interna
tional races, embellish a thoroughly well
written article. Mrs. Kate Gannett Weils
opens the number with a sketch of Campo
belloanditsold brass cannon,around which
linger some of tboeG memories savoring of
feudal days, which William Black has made
so familiar in his stories of tbe Orkneys. E.
P. Powell, who is associated with W. O.
McDowell, the leading spirit in the move
ment to draw the retmblies of the world
iuto closer bonds, writes with fine enthusi
asm on “A Pan-Republic Congress.” There
ore many other articles of great interest.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1891.

Federal street, Boston.
The Overland Monthly tor September
opens with a fine article on “Trout Fishing
in California,” by Ramon E. Wilson. Mr.
Wilson is evidently an ardent angler, and
writes of his favorite sport with fullness of
knowledge and great enthusiasm. There
are a score of illustrations, pictures of the
speckled beauties themselves aud of charm
ing brookside s[K>ts where they are oftenest
caught. “The Tussle on W ebber Lake” is
the reproduction of a remarkable pair of
instantaneous photographs of an actual
capture. It does great credit to the quick
ness of touch aud steadiness of nerve of the
photographer. Every fly fisherman will
delight in these pictures, aad will applaud
the sportsman like tone of the article. “The
Hoonah Indians Visit Sitka" is the title of
a good bit of descriptive work, with the ims
press of great fidelity to And the
same commendation may be givea to ‘’A
Day in the Redwoods of Lagoon Creek.”
equally good as description, and with more
of the literary quality in the style. The
Overland Monthly, 420 Montgomery street,
San Francisco.
The most conspicuous feature of the Sep
tember number of the Review of Reviews
is an elaborate political article upon the
Hawaiian queen and her kingdom. The ar
ticle is admirably illustrated with portraits
of the queen,the young heiress apparent, and
the principal public men who are in author
ity or wield controlling influence at Hono
lulu. The special timeliness of the article is
due to the manner in which it disouases the
international relations of the Sandwich
islands, and particularly the recent nego
tiations which have sought to secure for the
United States an exclusive control of the
best harbor in the islands for a nuval station
and to establish such special relations as
would amount to a protectorate. The article
is written by a high authority in Honolulu,
and will arouse the keenest Interest in diplo
matic aud governmental circles In Europe
and America. All the world now recog
uizes the immense strategic and commer
cial importance of the Hawaiian group in
view of the rapid development of North
Pacific trade, aud in view of the approach
ing completion of tho Nicaragua canal. The
discussion of Mr. Blaine’s recent negotia
tions and the Canadian attempt to make
them unsuccessful will be read with very
marked interest in both countries. Tne

STALKING TdE OSTRICH.
The Manner In Which Bushmen Hunt
the Big Birds.
From the Week's Nporf.
This description of an ostrich hunt by
Bushmen is given by a writer:
The birds were sighted about 3 o’clock
one hot December afternoon, and the party
of which I was a member was instructed to
remain concealed behind a ledge of rocks,
while two hunters worked around below the
ostriches, in order to be able to approach
them against the wind. I selected a high
point of ground, where a good view of
the feeding birds could be had, and, with
a powerful field glass, awaited develop
ments.
Tho two huDters were prepared for the
stalk by their companions by having their
legs rubbed with a white, chalky kind of
clay, then each placed a sort of saddle over
his shoulders. This arrangement was for
the purpose of spreading an ostrich skin,
which was thrown over the head of the
hunter.
The neck of the 9kin was arranged so that
n long stick thrust into it up to the head
and hold in the hunter’s left hand, made the
man look like a full-fledged ostrich, with
head erect, wings naturally extended, and
with the aid of an occasional and quite
natural shak • and rocking, stately tread as
sumed for the occasion, I am free to con
fess, that at 100 yards distance I wonld have
taken a shot at the disguised native fully
expecting to bag a fide bird.
The hunters went down the kloof about
800 yards, and then came out on the plain
in full view of the feeding birds. Then
commenced a series of the most natural
maneuvers I ever had the good fortune to
witness. ,
The Bushman would trot forward a few
yards, and then, by cleverly manipulating
the stick supporting the head, cause the
beak to dive into the grass as though feed
ing in a most life-like manner, tt en turn
and apparently arrange the wing and tail
feathers. They would then run together,
exchange caresses, feed again, raise the
head as though looking around, all the
time working carefully up against the
wind and very rapidly reducing the dis
tance between themselves and the feeding
birds.
The ostriches would occasionally raise
their heads, and huddle close together, re
garding the strange birds with evident dis
trust-but as tho hunters drew near they
would stop more frequently and resume
their imitations cf the natural actions of
the birds, apparently paying no attention
whatever to their game. This would evi
dently reassure the ostriches, as they would
separate and begin feeding again.
These movements were continued until
the Bushmen were in the midst of the flock,
when they suddenly threw off their dis
guises aud commenced to firo poisoned
arrows from the short bows they had con
cealed under the ostrich skins with a rapid
ity that was truly a-tonithing. The birds
attempted to escape in all directions, but
when the raid was ended there were three
dead ostriches on the ground, while a
fourth was too badiy crippled to es
cape.
CUT OUT FOR A MBTHUB3LAH.
A Doctor’s Speculations on the Case of
a 40-Year-Old West Virginia Boy.
From the Indianapolis Journal.
The Journal of Friday contained an ac
count of a West Virginia man, 40 years old,
who is declared to be an example of slow
ntellectual development. This person, Rus
sell Barnes of Clarksburg, has been re
garded from infancy as an imbecile, but his
development has gone on slowly, and now
he exbi its the aptitude of a schoolboy of
14, and he betrays a love of study. Prof.
Morris, who is much interested in the case,
says that Barnes in reality possesses a fine
mind, and, if he lives long enough for it to
roach its full development, will be capable
of great things.
“That,” remarked a phys'c.an to the re
porter, “is directly in lino with a theory
that I havo long held, and by means of
which I reconcile the longevity of the
patriarchs who existed before the flood with
the length cf years of those who rush
through life in these days.
“Look at tho Biblical record of the first
man of the race of which we have any
knowledge at all. Adam lived to be 930
years old, Beth 911. Enos 905, Cainan 910,
ilahale <1 Silo, Jared %ii; Enoch, tho bright
est man of that epoch, only remained on
the earth 3A5 years. He was 65 years old
when Methuselah, who w*s probably his
first born, saw the light He married young
for that time, as, by observing the record
in the first chapters of Genesis, you will see
that most of the patriarchs did not marry
until they were in tho nineties. That can
be inferred, not from the information given
as to the wedding, but from the chronicle
of the birth of the first eon. You see the
world was young, aud outside the beauties
of nature tee mind had no'.hing to feed
upon. Pastoral people are slow, and these,
the first of pastorals, were, without doubt,
tin* slowest. It is the cultivated mind that
sees tbe beautiful ia nature.
•• lYhat I mean to say is, the reason these
patriarchs achieved such great length of
year; is because it was necessary for their
development. At 30 years old they were no
belter intellectually than babies iu anus;at
40 they we e like this West Virginia won
der, like school boys of 14 years old. Rather
less mature, I imagine; more like kinder
garten boys of 4 or 5. Methuselah, who
lived to the age of 969 years, was probably
the slowest of these old fellows. If he lived
to-day be would boa fit subject for a goid
brick swindle or a game of bunco. He would
probably be a member of the farmers’
alliance. But in this time he could hardly
live to be 9ti. Along in the eight hundreds,
when getting somewhat advanced in the
eere and yellow leaf, bis hearing would be
gin to thicken. Ho would then begin to
take daily walks along the railroad track—
he wouldn’t ride on one of the pesky cars
for anything—and one day he would be
struck by passing train, aud he would
sleep with his fathers.”
“Your theory is somewhat fanciful,”
suggested the reporter.
"Not at all, not at all.” said the doctor,
warmly. "The human machine only wears
out as it is used. It ti>ok Methuselah, who
was doubtless possessed of even a bettor
constitution than the other patriarchs who
lived before the flood, a little longer to wear
out than tho others. Brains never wore
anybody out in those days. There were no <
sletpless nights leading along the highway |
to nervous exhaustion or lunacy. I here
are many nowadays who wear out mentally
and physically at 4J. That would appear a
vary rapid waste of life to the slow-going
patriarchs. It would not be much more
rapid, comparatively, than the whimsical
idea of brief and rapid existence conveyed in
the ‘Ephemerals,’ a sketch in a spectacular
play exhibited here u few yoars ago, where
a boy was born, passed through the stages
of yonth, manhood and old ag-vend died
all within twenty-four hours. Existence is
not comprised in mere length of years, hut
in experiences. In an Arabian tale a man
immerses his head in a tub of wat r. It is
under water but a moment, less than a
minute, yetiu that time his mind travels to
a far oountry, where he lives seven years, is
married, raises a family, and acquires a
fortune—a longer life, so far as experience
is concerned, tnan that of Methu-elah, of
whom the record is that ’all the days of Me
thuselah were 969 years, and he died. 1
“When tho race began to think,” resumed
the doctor, “their years began to shorten.
Abraham died at the early age of ‘a hun
dred, throe score and fifteen years.’ Human
life must have been greatly shortened by
that epoch, for the comment is made that
'Abraham gavo up the ghost and died in u
good old age, an old man, and full of years’
—and he was little more than one-fifth as
old as Methuselah. When the Jewish raco
was at the bight of its intellectuality Solo
mon gives the space of human life as three
score and ten, and that is what it is to-day.
Life insurance tables give figures showing
that the expectancy of years is continually
growing. This may be so, but such sta.is
tics cannot be absolutely relied upon. Tho
hurrying activities of the present day,
which undoubtedly will be multiplied in the
years to come, a future now near at hand,
will shorten life. Tho throbbing brain and
pulsing heart will be incited to such energy
os to wear out tho machine of which they
are a part, and when it is worn out there is
no way of repairing it.”
“But this 40-year-old boy up in West Vir
ginia,” began the reporter.
“If his mind develops with no more
rapidity in tho years to come than it has in
the past forty he will achieve a length of
years that will bo almost up to the ante
deluge standard. Divide his life into poriois
or stages. Not into seven ages ns Shakes
peare has done, but iDto five. At 40 years
he has reached the close of tho first stage of
his existence, that of the boy of 13 or 14,
Just ready to step out of shorts inti trousers,
t has taken fortv yoars to dovelopinto this,
three times as long as is ordinarily required
to make this development. The next stage,
the age of 28, would, logically, require three
times forty years, that is 120 years: tho
next period, to have the experience
of the inau of forty-two years, wottid
require another 120 years; then each of the
two next periods should be given 130yoais
to bring him up to an equivalent iu exist
ence with our three score and ten. I make
out that his life expectancy is 020 years.
This is only an approximate estimate, of
course. It might bo that this expectancy
would be exceeded by a hundred years or
so. It is a very interesting case, and lam
sorry that I cannot remain oil earth a few
hundred years to take notes upon it. Such
a subject will be of great interest to the
readers of medical literature six or seven
centuries hence.
A G3AND DUKE’S ROMANCE.
Alexis of Buss'a Said to Have 3eeD
Married In NswYork.
From the Philadelphia Press,
Paris, Sept. 3. —The Journal he Matin
has a special sensation to-day in a letter
from St. Petersburg, which says:
“I can tell you a sensational story which,
after having been absolutely kept secret for
some iime, has within the past few days
leaked out and been the subject of gossip at
Ihe imperial court. It means briefly that
we are shortly to be favored with anew
grand duke.
“The facts are these: It has always been
a matter of comment that th-second brother
of the czar, in spite of bis 41 yoars, has
never been married, and shows no disposi
tion to enter the holy state. I givo you now
the absolute facts why the Grand Duke
Alexis and admiral of the Russian fleet is a
bachelor, and why he will remain so until
his death.
“When quite a youth he fell desperately
in love with one of his mother’s (the czar
ina’s) maids of honor, a young and charm
ing girl named Vera' Shoukovskaja, daugh
ter of the great natiouai poet, who in his
turn was the tutor of the Emperor Alexan
der 111. Vera, though not pretty, was re
markably intelligent. The young peoplo
met often, and their love was mutual and
ardent; so ardent, indeed, that the daughter
of the great poet forgot her prudence.
“Then a bold step was decided upon. The
lovers wont band in hand to the Emperor,
and on their knees begged his consent to
their union. The reply was a brief and per
emptory refusal. The Empress was equally
severe, lamenting bitterly that her favorito
son should desire to marry a daughter of
the people. The punishment that tollovrod
their indiscretion was harsh. Vera was
banished from court and sent to a small
farm belonging to one of tar relations, where
she was kept ia the utmost seclusion. The
Grand Duke Alexis was handed over to the
care of the celebrated Russian admiral,
Possictte. and was sent off on a cruise
around the world.
“Vera, however, was no ordinary
character. She escaped from exile and set
sail for America, rejoining the grand duke
in New York. There, in exchange for a
round sum of money, anHorthordox priest
of the Greek church made them man and
wife, and from that moment Vera accom
panied the duke wherever he went. lu
Canada she gave birth to a fine boy, but,
weakened by ber long and fatiguing
travels, she fell ill and upon her return to
Europe was obliged to go to Montreaux, in
Switzerland, in the hope of successfully
fighting the first seeds of rapid comsump
tion.
“The Grand Duke returned to St. Peters
burg. where h 9 daily received news of his
beloved wbica became more and more
alarming every day, till at last the physi
cians pronounced the caso helpless. The
Duke then went to his lather and told him
all. Alexander, who was a goed-hearted
iftan for an Emperor, said: “I have known
the whole affair for a long time and I know
also that there are no oiistaoles for those
who love. Go, my son, and comfort the
last days of this unhappy lady.”
“The duke immediately loft for Switzer
land, whence, a few months later, bo re
turned an inconsolable widower. Before
her death the young wife obtained from
her nusband a double promise not to neg
lect her sou and never to marry again.
Alexis has kept his word, and, iu spite of
the persistence of the czar aud all of the
imperial family, has absolutely retused to
marry.
“His son is receiving a careful eduoation
in Switzerland, but up to the present mo
ment has never set foot in Russia. It is
now understood that the reigi.i ieczar,whois
greatly attached to his brother Alexis, is on
the point of bestowing on the young son of
the grand duke and his vera full recognition
aud the titles which justly belong to him.
Iu this decision he has been greatly influ
enced by the empress, and it is thos that
we are shortly to have anew grand duke tn
the person of the young and cbannmg fel
low of 17.”
DODGING A BIG DEBT.
TRUE INWARDNESS OF FOSTER’S
SOND EXCHANGE SCHEME.
The E xtravagance of the Billion Dol
lar Congress has Placed the Secre
tary of the Treasury in an Awkward
Position.
Tho indulgent public, says a Washington
special to the Republic, and that part of it
particularly that is Inclined, by reason of
its great faith in the truthfulness of its
party leaders, to accept, without question,
the reports of the Secretary of the Treasury,
may believe fully the explanations that are
being sent out to supplement the scanty
debt statement of tho first of the month.
That debt statement was intendod to show
that tho government has as available assets
the large sum of more than $(30,000,000 with
which to meet all do annuls upon it. Asa
matter of fact, wherever that impression
has been made there has beou a deceived
person. If the treasury had at its oomr.tand
1C0, 000,000, or oven half the amount. Secre
tary Foster would at ouoe, and with a great
deal of satisfaction, call in and redeem the
4',j per cents, .amounting to about $27,000,-
00j, that became due and payable yesterday.
It has been seen for months that there
would be difficulty in satisfying the appro
priations of the billion-doUar congress and
tho bondholders at the same time, lu order
to meet demands that could not bo evaded
the treasury has been declining to pay
ttjany of the appropriations, some of whiou
were of large amounts, the secretary find
ing it convenient to say that the appropri
ations were made out of money not other
wise appropriated, and, as there was no
money in the treasury not otherwise ap
propriated, he could not pay the appropri
ation. Several Indian appropriations, ag
gregating probably $3,000,000, were in
cluded iu this category. The chance of
their bsing paid soon is very slim indeed.
Instead of calling upon tho creditors of
the government wh > hold the 4 1 J per cents,
to come forward and receive the face value
of their bonds, os the Secretary would do
if ho had tho money, ho announces, as if ho
wore conferring a great favor upon them,
that tho time for extending tho 414 per
cents, at 2 per cont. will be continued in
definitely. That nteaus plain enough that
he has not the mouoy with which to pay
them, that he bo allowed to pay unauthor
ized interest, and that ho must have time in
which to save up the millions necessary to
discharge tho indebtedness.
This situation makes tho parade of figuros
to load tee people to believe that there are
$00,000,000 of available assets in the treas
ury seem like a very cheap and demagogic
trick. Bo near the ond of his tothor has
the secretary gone that he is considering
whether ho shall not draw from the deposi
tories the Mura of $3,000,000 with which to
meet tho immediate demands for redemp
tion of the 4 1 .,-por-conts. Bhouid he cot
tho $3,000,000 that he wants he will still
have several millions less than the amount
of the bonds outstanding. If the whole
omouut outstanding should bo presented at
once he would bo embarrassed. Bum > reli
ance is undoubtedly placed upon the for
bearance of the bondholders to come in
when Mr. Foster is lu better financial con
dition.
The unofficial statements of the available
cash make it to be $18,000,000, but to those
who do not hold on to odds and ends of a
doubtful character, as do the Ntatemeut
tnakers of the treasury, it appears to bo lit
tle more than #13,0()O'uOO. This would not
ho so bad, perhaps, if tho income of tho
government wore as good as it was a year
ago, when Heed’s “busmens” congress was
passing the bills that are bringing the treas
ury into awkward straits. As it is, the in
come for two months for the present year,
with its inflated oxp-nsos, is far behind that
of a like period iu the last year.
Already it is Intimated that Mr. Foster
does not intend to attempt to pay all the
appropriations made by tbe “billloa” con
gress, but to let them go over to bo taken
out of tho revenues of the next year. Tho
democrats of tho Kiflty second congress
would bo obliged to be economical for tha
sake ot contrast and good example, but,
with tho remnants of republican debt facing
them, it beglus to look as if they would not
be iu nositiou to make generous appropria
tions for many undertakings that need to
have continuous support.
Until Congress moets and some member
shall call upon the Treasury to render an
account that will he intelligible, it will not
ho possible to tell how much short of funds
the Treasury was in August, 1891, but
it is plain that if all obligations now due
were paid there would he a deficiency.
Trickery has served to koop from the public
tho true state of affairs in tbe hope of
averting that proper indignation that
would bo felt against tho billion dollar con
gress and its managers if tho exact truth
was known about the effects of its extrava
gance.
MEDICAL.
CURE SCROFULA
With Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This disease
may well be termed “the curse of civ
ilization.” Whether hereditary or ac
quired, scrofula poisons tho blood, en
feebles the constitution, causes con
sumption, catarrh, glandular swellings,
ulcers, sores, and troubles innumerable.
Fortunately, there is a remedy for this
evil. By tbe persistent use of Aycr’9
Sarsaparilla, all traces of scrofula may
be eradicated. Ilenry Brandt, Avoea,
Nebr., certi- tfies: “For
years I suf- * cre( l from
scrofula, till WW HU I began the
use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
since which the disease has entirely
disappeared. A child of mine was also
cured by the same remedy.”
“I was a sufferer, for years, from scrof
ula and blood diseases. The doctors’ pre
scriptions being of no avail, I was at
last advised to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
I did so, and now feel like anew man,
being fully restored to health.” C. N.
