ATLANTIC OCEAN RECORDS.
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.

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."

"Yes, my son Is going to spend a few
days in the city."
"He'll get bunkoedsuro."
"Well, he's sure' df car fare home,
lie's wearing a ten dollar bill under
neath a porous plaster on his chest" ?

An Innocent Victim.
"This food problem is something aw
fill!" exclaimed the querulous man.
"Still harping on the high cost of
living?"
"No; my wife has decided to reduce
her weight. 1 wouldn't care what food
cost if she would only consent to bay
it," Washington Star.

DIET AND GOOD HEALTH.
Food ghould B? Carefully 8olociod and
Properly Variod.
The oiuliM'ut A toe r lea u physiologist
I.iiKk suys that nature, through (Ik* de
vice of ap|?etlte, usually provides
against the use of Improper food, but
( hat re a hum must play a part in f ?'??<!
selections. A L'lans of milk and a piece
of pie are |*>or materials for the brain
of an active business man whose *>ed?ife
tary life requires 2,500 beat units or
calorie* to maintain his* Laxly machin
ery. ,
We need also water, Halts, proteins
tind certain newly diHcovcred sub
stances called vitumlnes. All these
materials are to l>e found in milk,
beans. bread and otber great funda
mentals of nutrition. Holutions of cane
sugar or of glucose lire not the exclu
sive mainstays of llfo, and yet glucose
taken aloiio yields 2.500 calories at a
cost of 4 1-0 cents, and 2,500 calories
In the form of cane sugar coat 8 1-3
cents.
(Jlucose is the Cheapest food fuel
known, but. like cone sugar or butter
fat, is not u complete food in that it
does not contain everything necessary
for Hfe. Commercial glucose la abso
lutely harmless. A man must have

COROT, THE ARTIST.
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!"? Spokane
Spokesman-Review.
British Coronation.
No other coronation rite in Europe
reaches back to so early a period as
that of Great Britain. From the An
glo-Saxon order of the coronation of
Egbert was derived the ancient form
of the coronations of the kings of
France.? London Express.
