"It's just as well to give your overworked men a little treat now and then, especially when you're trying to fill rush orders," said a New York manufacturer the other day. "I had to keep ten of my best workmen up till two o'clock in the morning for several nights in succession. The third night, instead of having them go home -some of them lived at a considerable distance when two o'clock came I piled them into an automobile, took them to the best Turkish bath in town, gave them a grand bath and rubdown, put them to bed at the bathing establishment, got them up at 7:30, gave them a fine breakfast, and took them back to work in the car. They came in as fresh as two-year olds, and finished rush job in grand style before night.' up our "Last night in Homestead," says the "Outlook for the Blind," "the Carnegie Steel wrestling team lost to the Pittsburgh School for the Blind matmen in a wrestling meet. The visitors, although blind, proved to be too much for the Carnegieites." The. blind pupils of this school have had nine contests with seeing boys in various athletic clubs, and have been defeated only once. The blind boys' ability to wrestle on even terms with the seeing has given great zest to their work in athletics. some some An English paper ascribes the use of in such expressions as 66 girl" or some show" to Horace Walpole. In a letter dated July 7, 1782, it says, WalMr. William Pitt? Yes! he pole wrote: is to be Secretary of State-at twenty-two -that is some glory!" But is "that is some glory" on all fours with "he is some statesman "? Would Walpole have used the latter phrase? A submarine, the "Army and Navy Journal" says, usually discharges its torpedo at 2,000 yards, or just over the mile, from its mark, and while it is submerged to a depth of about fifteen feet. The most effective weapons used against submarines are four-inch and six-inch rapid-firers. The four-inch gun fires a shot weighing thirtythree pounds, and can be fired so rapidly that five shots have been sailing through the air in a procession at the same time. Mecca, the sacred city of the. Mohammedans, which has been until recently a "forbidden city," has now, it is reported, as a result of rebellion against Turkish rule, progressed so far as to be in the International Postal Union, with a set of stamps of its own-green, red, and blue in color. They bear the date of the flight of the Prophet from Mecca to Medina (the socalled Hegira) and that of the present Arabic year, 1334. The Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company owns a nursery at Bluff Point, on Lake Champlain, which contains about 5,000,000 young trees. It plans to plant 1,250,000 of these trees along its line in northern New York this year, according to the "Railway Age Gazette." "Can any little boy," asked the new teacher, as reported by an educational exchange," tell me the difference between a lake and an ocean?" "I can," replied a small scholar who had seemingly had experience in both; "lakes are nicer to swallow when you fall in." Travelers who have been inclined to nake jokes at the expense of Southern railways will open their eyes and forget their jocularities when they read that Macon, Georgia, has recently completed a new union railway station at a cost of $2,500,000. It is replete with all the conveniences that make such buildings attractive to the traveling public. A marvel of mechanism whose development was accompanied by tragedies in two lives was the Paige typesetting machine. tion bankrupted him. James W. Mark Twain promoted it, and the speculaPaige, the inventor, is, according to the "American Printer," now an inmate of the poorhouse at Oak Forest, Illinois. The machine. contained fifteen thousand parts, and its complexity and cost of construction prevented its success commercially. The war will benefit the seals at least, it seems, for this year the smallest sealing fleet of recent times has gone out from St. John's, Newfoundland. All the large steel steamers that were engaged in the industry have been diverted to the uses of the Russian Admiralty, it is stated. In addition, laws recently passed prohibit the use of guns in sealing, and give absolute protection to hood seals, a variety that has been rapidly disappearing. Of Henry Ward Beecher's power as a preacher Mr. George Batchelor says in the "Christian Register: "I have never heard elsewhere at any time preaching that surpassed or equaled his when at his best." Mr. Batchelor heard Wendell Phillips. and William Lloyd Garrison at the last meeting of the American Abolition Society, at the close of the Civil War. When the meeting opened, it was voted to restrict all speakers to twenty minutes each. But the spellbound audience insisted that both Garrison and Phillips should talk on, for full two hours, until each had spoken three times. "The only other meeting in which I have seen oratory at its best," says Mr. Batchelor, "was when Anna Dickinson' was the speaker. Her attractive personality, her musical voice, and her fervid patriotism captured all hearts. The time, the place, and the speaker produced what was in my experience an unparalleled effect." Harry Furniss, the English caricaturist, says that once when he was to deliver a lecture in a Midland town he suddenly realized that he had lectured in the town before, but could not remember which of his lectures he had given there. He sought out the janitor of the hall, who well remembered his former visit. "Let me see," said Mr. Furniss, "what did I give when I was here before?" "Five shillings, sir," was the prompt reply, "but we'll talk about that afterwards." In a paragraph on page 446 of The Outlook of March 14, by a slip of the pen, we were made to say, "it is also maintained that neutral vessels which into a go field of war, whether on land or on sea, must take their own risks." Even in time of peace the risks which a vessel incurs when she ventures to climb onto the land must be assumed by herself; it is obvious that a vessel guilty of such perversity in war time could never unload these risks on any government, however philanthropic. When the book of war bulls is published, this specimen may take its place with that of the New York "Tribune " when it told of "the shrieks of the dead and dying."
