J Ison, -Chief Police, IN WINTER QUARTERS. Cara Taken to Protect Vachte From Cold : and Storm*. > The value of yacht property floating in 1 the waters of and adjacent to the shores of New England and the middle states is in Itself an amount surprising to those who have given only a passing thought to the subject. When it can be safely estimated that Invested in the luxurious pastime is i a sum equal to the taxable basts of a city almost the size of Hartford, much of which is thoughtlessly exposed to climatic and other conditions which rapidly depreciate its worth, it will Im realized what a large amount of property is constantly placed at the hazard of unusual risks? This is especially noticeable during the winter months, when the pleasure yachts are out of oomm lesion and are often loft in charge • of a single keeper, whose position is even more responsible than that of a captain in the summer season. The latter, if any thing unusual occurs, has the entire crew at his command to avert the Impending disaster. This Is not so with the boat keeper, who is forced to cope with any emergency single handed. The principal basins wherein yachts are stored for the winter are Interestingin the extreme to the enthusiastic yachtsman With few exceptions the larger boats are 1 stripped of their sails and running rigging and are moored in some sheltered spot that offers protection from the fierce storms of the cold season. Their bright work is cov ered with tarpaullna The wise yacht owner takes the additional precaution to •elect a spot exempt from deleterious man ufactories that tend to pollute the waters Smaller yachts are hauled out of the wa ter, spars taken out and the shining hulls entirely covered with canvas. They are not left in this state throughout the frosty weather, but whenever there is a bright, warm day storm covers are thrown off, batches opened and the sunshine is allowed to stream in for a few hours. Fires are also kindled In both galley and cabin, so M to thoroughly dry the air ? Salls require more care than the toyman would suppose. Not only does the clever yachtsman, who values his property cor rectly, store them in a perfectly dry place, ' but three er four times during the winter he will haul them out and give a chance to “old Sol’’ to dispel any tendency to mildew. Then, too, the luxurious fur nishings of many yachts of the present day, which are quite as elaborate and ex pensive as are to be found in the homes of their owners, require the same considerate eare as the household effects of the man sion on shore. Unfavorable surroundings or unpropltious conditions create a ruin ous effect upon nice materials, bringing loss and damage with telling rapidity, the escape from which is the discreet thought . of every careful yachtsman.—New York Sun. _ ▲ Singular Case. A peculiar case was tried at Dixon re cently before Judge Givens, says the Mad isonville (Ky.) Hustler. Rev. Jesse White is pastor of what Is known as the Chaly beate church, in Webster county. One of the rules of the church was that the wom -1 en should occupy one side of the house and the men the other. A transgression of this rule is what caused the trouble. A young man by the name of Crook, from Henderson county, was in the neigh borhood and took hta sweetheart to church one night and sat down by her, as he had been accustomed to do at home. Bev. Mr. White called attention to the rule of the church, requiring him to move to the men’s side. Crook refused, saying he had eome with the lady, and he didn’t know of any law he was violating when he sat by her side. Rev. Mr. White called on some of the elders to arrest Crook. During this time quite a commotion arose. Finally Crook agreed, rather than be the cause of so much disturbance, to move over on the men’s side. Rev. Mr. White informed him It was too late, and ordered the elder to arrest him. The elder proceed ed to do so, and a disturbance resulted. The whole business was brought into court, and Rev. Mr. White pleaded his own case before the Jury. The jury came to the conclusion that Rev. Mr. White was the principal cause of the disturbance and assessed a fine of $29 upon him. It is about the first case we ever heard of where a preacher was fined for disturbing his own worship. < .' . The Antiquity of Man. Is this not a case In which the imagina tion may be fairly invoked In aid of science! 1 May we not from these data at tempt In some degree to build up and re construct the early history of the human family? There, in eastern Asia, in a trop ical climate, with the means of subsistence readily at hand, may we not picture to ourselves our earliest ancestors gradually developing from a lowly origin, acquiring • taste for hunting, If not Indeed being driven to protect themselves from the beasts around them and evolving the more complicated forms of tools or weapons from the simpler flakes which had pre viously served them as knives? May we not imagine that when once the stage of civilization denoted by these paleolithic Implements had been reached the game for the hunter became scarcer and that his itfe in consequence assumed a more nomad character? Then, and possibly not tin then, may a series of migrations to “fresh woods and pastures new” not unnaturally have en sued, and these following the usual course of “westward toward the setting sun’’ might eventually lead to a paleolithic population finding its way to the extreme boarders of western Europe, where we find such numerous traces of its presence. How long a term of yean may be involved in such a migration it is impossible to say, but that such a migration took place the phenomena seem to justify us In believ ing.—Sir John Evans in Popular Science Monthly. A Cooklag Box es Wood. The various experiments made with solar engines by the French in Algeria, where the sun shines at all times and with great power, have been attended in some Instances with marked success. The best apparatus is stated to be a simple arrange ment of boiler and concave mirror, the steam generated being condensed In a colled tube surrounded by water, this be ing intended for distilling water merely. But in India an inventor named Adams has contrived some machines by which more varied results are accomplished. One of these Is what is termed a cooking box, made of wood and lined with reflecting mirrors, at the bottom of the box being a small copper boiler, covered with glass to retain the heat of the rays concentrated by mirrors upon the boiler. In thia contriv ance any sort of food may bo quickly cooked, the result being a stew or boil if i the steam is retained, or if allowed to escape it is a bake The heat with this ’ device may be augmented indefinitely by increa ing the diameter of the box.—PMl adelphia Ledger. ’ _ -. A PRIVATE AMBULANCE. Bemlatoocncea of the Civil War Belated by an Old Soldier. “Among the men. vounded in my regiment at a batt* in Virginia, ” said the old soldier, "was a man in my com pany who was shot through the body and taken to the rear. Our troops fell back after the fight, and we had more wounded than we had transportation for, but two men out of his own tent MK out to carry this man wherever w< were going, which was presumably the camp behind intrenchments thai we’d left in the morning. “They took turns at backing him foi half a mile or so until they came to a farmhouse that had a grassy yard in front They laid him down on the grasi and took a little look around the house to see what they could see. In a build ing at the rear they came across some thing that made ’em stand still and look at each other and laugh. It was a hand cart. What use the folks here-had made of It they couldn’t guess, but they knew what use they were going to make of it They got it out of the building and rolled it around the side of the house alongside the wouqded man and dropped the handle on the grass. He laughed, too, when he saw it He was going the rest of the way in a private ambulance. “The two men took their blankets off their shoulders and untied them and spread their rubbers down on the bot tom of the hand cart and spread theii woolen blankets down on them, and then they ran the hand cart up and rest ed the handle on the front steps of the house and lifted in the wounded man tad laid their guns in beside him. Then they turned the cart around again, and one man got inside the shafts, with the crosspiece aganst his waist belt, and the other man got behind to push. They all smiled again when they started, wounded man and all. • “It beat backing him out of sight. It was dry weather, and the roads were sandy, and up hill and on the level the wheeling was hard. But there was more down hill than there was up, places where they had to hold back, and it was all immensely more com fortable for the wounded man, and so they got him back to camp and to the surgeon again. But he died after all. ” —New York Sun. FORTUNES FROM GARBAGE. Science Convert* the Refuse of Cities Into Steam, Fertilisers, Soap, Etc. William George Jordan, writing on “Wonders of the World’s Waste,” in The Ladies Home Journal, says: “The garbage of a great city is worth a for tune every year if properly utilized. In St. Louis the refuse is placed in enor mous vertical cylinders, surrounded by steam jackets, which evaporate the 75 to 80 per cent of water in the garbage. The fatty substances are dissolved, and as the result of a number of processes a fertilizer is produced which is worth from |9 to 812 per ton, the- demand ex ceeding the supply. One of the purest and best soaps of the country was made of garbage grease before cottonseed oil entered the field. It is now proposed to light London by electricity-for nothing. It now costs that city 81-08 (4s. Bd.) to get rid of a ton of garbage. A combina tion of rollers and other apparatus has been devised that can burn at 24 cents (1 shilling) per tonanS gen erate steam sufficient to run enough dy namos to light the entire city. London can thus save Bs. Bd. on each ton and in addition illuminate its city without cost Garbage, by a machine called ths dust destructor, is converted into clink ers, which can be used for roadways, as artificial stone for sidewalks and as sand for mortar and cement. In Paris the invisible particles of iron, worn from wheels and from the shoes of horses, are rescued by passing powerful magnets through the sweepings. ” A Vision of the Future. Clarence King, formerly duel of the United States geological survey, says: “The time is not far distant when a man can start out of Denver and travel to Klondike, stopping every night at a mining camp. Already two Ameri can stamp mills are pounding away on the borders of the strait of Magellan, and the day is approaching when a chain of mining camps will extend from Cape Horn to St. Michael’s I believe we are about to enter upon a century which will open up vast resources and will be the grandest the earth has ever known. Before the end of the twentieth century the traveler will enter a sleep ing car at Chicago bound via Bering ■trait for St. Petersburg, and the dream of Governor Gilpin will be real ized.” Blanc. The difference between ancient and modem slang was amusingly illustrated in a recent incident at the Chautauqua assembly, when the teacher of English literature asked, “What is the mean ing of the Shakespearian phrase ‘Go to?’” and a member of the class replied, “Oh, that is only the sixteenth century expression of the modem term ‘Come off.’” The two phrases, while appar ently opposite, do, in fact, substantially mean the same thing.—Chicago Chron icle. A Natural Inference. “Did you hear what Whimpton’s lit tle boy said when they showed him the twins?” “No; what was it?” “He said, ‘There, mamma’s been get ting bargains again.’” Collier’s Weekly. , It is an extraordinary fact that only two presidents were bom between April tad October.

With Real Estate Trlmmlzss That Won In Oregon. “Speaking of schools in relation to, politics. ” said the ex-boomer from Ore gon, “always reminds me of a campaign in which I was interested some years Ago. The Douglas county representative In the Oregon state legislature, realiz ing that his popularity wm not exceed ingly great, had been talking of build ing a new state normal school, presum ably at Roseburg, the county seat and his own home. This caused great con sternation among the 850 inhabitants of the little city of Drain, who had been profiting by the courtesy title of ‘Drain Academy and Oregon State Normal school, ’ under which the school there had been run since 1885. The postmas ter, who kept a drag store and sold school supplies, took counsel with his' sister-in-law, who dealt in millinery and ran a boarding house for students, and she sought the mayor, at whose general merchandise emporium she wm the principal customer. “The mayor was a man who thought ■lowly, but to a purpose, and, having set himself the task of devising some way of circumventing the member from Roseburg, he passed the next three days in profound cogitation. He con ceived a scheme whose various elabora tions and ramifications were too diver sified for him to handle alone, and he came to me for help. I had just gained considerable influence in the county through backing a projected railroad to the coast, and also as a real estate deal er and sawmill owner. With my busi ness methods and the mayor’s knowl edge of the conditions confronting us our plans were soon put into operation. First, we suggested the candidacy of an ambitious young Drainite, a dealer in leather goods and hardware, for mem ber of the legislature, taking all the wind out of his opponent’s sails by heartily indorsing the talk in favor of a new normal school. Meantime we had a large grain field of the mayor’s, which had begun to lose its fertility on ac count of overcultivation, surveyed into city lots, and as soon as our candidate had received the regular party nomina tion we put the town site of East Drain, with its streets named after conspicuous men of the state, on the market and gave one of its centrally located blocks far the new normal school. “Well, everything came to pass ex actly as we had planned. Our candidate was elected, and the building of the new normal school on the site we gave wm authorized. We sold a sufficient num ber of East Drain lots to more than pay for the land and all expenses. The con tractors on the new school were men who had aided the legislation authoriz ing it, and they got their supplies from the mayor, their hardware from the member and their lumber from ma My mill also supplied lumber for other buildings in East Drain, including a new boarding house for the milliner, who has prospered ever since. The post master's increased business soon war , ranted his moving into one of the two ! brick buildings in the city of Drain, and the former dealer In leather goods and hardware is still member of the Oregon legislature. ” —New York Sun. I - Duration of Human Life. That the human being wm Intended for greater length of life than is usually attained in our artificial existence is probable from the fact that he does not reach his full and complete development until his twenty-fifth yean The life of most of the low animals is reckoned to be about five times their maturity in a natural condition, and, although dis turbing causes interfere with human life in the present day, yet within cer tain limits man is subject to the same laws as every other type of existence in either the animal or the vegetable king dom. Nature has assigned to him a certain period during which he should attain to a sound physical and mental maturity, and any attempt to curtail that period by early forcing is and must be neces sarily productive of lamentable results. The boy or girl may be developed under a system of steady “cramming” into a highly accomplished man or woman, long before full age has been reached, but it may be accepted m an axiom in almost all instances that the earlier the development the earlier the decay. The , lesson to be learned from the records of. , those who have lived to advanced years I is that moderation in all things, whether . physical or intellectual, is the secret of long life, and that it is easy by system atically violating this rule to produce an , artificial old age. —Nineteenth Century. !
