Vessels That Won Fame by Reducing the Time of the Trips. in the early days of Atlantic ateam navigation anywhere from ten days to a fortnight was used up between New York and England, and on the east ward voyage l,t was by no means un usual for some of the sailing packets of Grinned and Mlnturn. red, white and blue swallowtail burgee, and of Tommy Tapscott, black ball on burgee and foretopsall, to heal the lumbering shlew heelers. The first steamer to cut under the ten day voyage was the Persia in lSfeO, with D days, 1 hour and 45 minutes Tills remained a record for ten years, until the Scotia in 1800. 8 days, 2 hours and 48 minutes, lopped off a whole day. Three years Inter the City of Brussels lu 1800 established the seven day class, with 7 days. 22 hours and 3 minutes. It was not until 1882 that the six day boat claimed the record, the Alaska, with 0 da.Vs, 18 hours and 37 minutes. The five day class was opened in 1881) by the City of Paris, with 5 days 19 hours 18 minute?. The first of the four day class was the Lusltanla in 100^ with 4 days 15 hours. The rec ord Is now held by the Mnuretanin. with a passage In 1010 of 4 days: 10 hours and 21 minutes. ?New fork Sun. Car* of Pearls. One of the representatives of a fa tnous Jewelry firm gives a word of ad vice upon the preservation and treat ment of pearls. Upon no account, be said, should they be locked up^lii a safe or other dark place for lengthy periods, since such treatment soon causes tliem to lose their "life" and become dull, If their f it t r owners find that for some reason or other they can not wear them outside their garments they should make- a point of wearing them underneath the dress next to the sWn. Constant contact with the hu man skin gives to the stones light, lus ter, gloss and sheen. The best possible way to keep the pearls in a perfect state of preservation, ns well as to prolong their life, is to wear them al ways, both by night and by,day.? Lon don Tit-Bits. The Cruol Lie. When Disraeli was neaxing his end a young disciple said to him: "Master, what is the unpardonable sin? is it not a lie?" The astute and subtl* statesman, In the shadow of the grave, where he saw with the clearer vision, looked at the young man with deep, unfathomable eyes and answered: "No, a lie is not the unpardonable sin. The unpardonable sin is the cruel lie." On the Ixirders of that shadowy land where groa^ tilings grow small and little things loom large on the horizon he had come to know that the crime that is not forgiven is the brutal in stinct that Impels us to wound, to em-, bitter, to mortify. Emerson's Style. Emerson's style was tersely summed up In the words of his dear friend Thomas Carlyle. Wrote the "Sage of Chelsea" of his friend's way of writ ing: "it is pure, genuine Saxon; strong and simple: of a clearness, of a beauty* I but does not sometimes rightly stick together. The paragraphs are not beat I en ingots, but. beautiful square bags of buckshot held together by canvas." His Safety Deposit Vault. "Yes, my son Is going to spend a few days in the city."

Carefully 8olociod and Properly Variod.

His Whola Life Wee a Song, and Melo dy Parmaatad Hie Worke. Those painters who also have the feeling and Home of the proficiency of a musician reveal It In their work; They are usually colorlsts, with more eye for the colors nnd tones of nature than her shapes and forms. Such a one was Corot- lie had a good tenor voice atld played on the violin. He sang at his work and sang, too, when he was not painting, but wandering through the forest of Fon tainebleau or around the village of Vlllo d'Avray, absorbing the beauty of the scene and storing up Impressions for future pictures. In fact! his whole long life of seventy-nine years was to Le Pere Corot. as his friends loved to call him, a song. And one feels It in his pictures, at least in his later ones, by which he is best known. Their coloring is subdued, like a lullaby or waking song, for It was the dawn or twilight that he pre ferred to paint His works vibrate with the hum of melody, and here and there Is an accent of effect that trem bles like the string of his violin. (,'orot's long life was a remarkable instance of a man being able to con tinue to the end the springtime of his youth. Power of Falling Water. Still water gives no power, no en ergy. Falling water has only as much power as is represented by its welgh^ A gallon of falling water will develop as much power as a falling block of Iron weighing C2.5 pounds. Of course, the greater the fall the greater the pow er developed. Water falling one foot will develop a pressure of .43 pounds per square inch of pipe. The same amount of water falling 100 feet will develop a pressure of 43.31 pounds per square inch of pipe. Falling 1,000 feet it would produce a pressure of 433.00 pounds per square .Inch of pipe. To compute the power of falling water it Is necessary to multiply the volume of flowing water In cubic feet per minute by its weight. 62.5 pounds, and this product by the vertical height of the fall !n feet, and divide by 33.000, the number of foot pounds representing one horsepower for one minute. ? New York World. Military File*. "Files on parade" means a body of soldiers, a troop or company marching In a file or line, not abreast, but one after another. We speak of the "rank and file," meaning soldiers who are formed so that they march abreast and also in ranks following each other. The term in general means the com mon soldiers below the rank of nou j- commissioned officers. There are other file terms in military tactics, such as "file right" and "Ule left."' As Kipling uses the term it means the common soldiers who have been called out for the purpose described in the poem of "Danny Deever."? Philadelphia Press. Pa's Explanation. "Pa, what do people mean when they talk of laying up something for a rainy day?" "A rainy day means hard times, my son." "Why so, pa?" "Because. I suppose, on a rainy day there Is no dust in sight!"?
