DISCIPLINE AND CHARACTER.
A Tribute to the Austere Training Which
Produced a Man I.lke Tryon.
To onr minds the charm of Admiral
Tryon's bearing in the hour of his fate is
the perfection of the system which for
centuries has bred men capable of his
conduct and his death. They have not
had his opportunity of being visible, not
his strangely scenic surroundings, not
perhaps tho temperament which could
have inspired them to that farewell in
the moment of disappearance, bnt there
huvo been hundreds of men in tho navy,
and even in tire merchant service, who
would have died as bravely as he did.
It is the tradition of both services—
not, we think, the order —that the high
est in rank on a ship in peril must be the
last to quit the vessel; that,.as occurred
a few years ago, even a stowaway, who
Is almost a criminal in sailors' eyes, must
take precedence of tho captain in secur
ing safety. The origin of the rule is, we
fancy, policy—that tho state or the own
er be protected by the. captain's author
ity to the last—but it has become an eti
quette and a pride, and in the records of
hundreds of wrecks you will find few in
which it was ever broken. "The cap
tain was the last to leave the ship" is the
end of almost every telegram of marine
disaster.
In other words,disciplinehas continued
for centuries under the pressure of the
sameneccssities, and the same ideas, has
extinguished in a cb*ss by no means do
void either of faults or vices, a most na
tural aud tempting form of selfishness
has induced a whole series of men, many
of them hardly educated, to face a slow
and painful form of death rather than
fail in the performance of a professional
duty. That is a wonderful result of train
ing, and it is one whioh makes thoso who
sco it clearly doubt whether the modern
world is altogether in the right path.
Tho old ideal for tho formation of
character was discipline, hardship*, pres.
sure, alike from the law and from teach
ers and from opinion, and it certainly
produced many of the virtues, especially
that one of obedience, which the world
everywhere but on shipboard—where
there are few unrealities and men carry
their lives in their hands —has taken to
despising. The modern idea is that dis
cipline even for children is an oppressive
thing; that it turns men into machines,
and it quenches individuality—that it is,
in short, unpleasant, whereas pleasant
ness is the end of life.
We see the result of the change in the
disappearance of many forms of oppres
sion, and ti lighter atmosphere for men
to move in, and we sco it also in tho
slow disappearance of many noble ele
ments i*i character. The old system,
working with good material, produces
as its perfect result Admiral Tryon. The
new, working also on tho right material,
produces the British agitator.
Admiral Tryon was no doubt a brave
man and gentleman without help from
the eervice or its traditions, but tho
service had annealed his character into
what it was, something for a nation to
be proud of, which would hardly havo
been exhibited or have existed amid the
indiscipline and softness of civil life.
When one hears of such a man so meet
ing such an end. it is difficult, not to
doubt whether liberty as now inter
preted is such a perfectly good thing;
whether instant obedience to command
is not better-training; whether pressure
from all sides, from service rules, opin
ion and hardship together, does not weld
men into something worthier of the as
pirations which, while men have con
sciences, they never quite get rid of.—
London Spectator.
Caato In n Bootblack.
The idea, of casto and class extends
even to the bootblacking fraternity.
This is illustrated by a recent occurrence
in Broad street.
An Irish shoe polisher has-a stand in
front of Delmonico's old restaurant. Not
long since he entered a broker's office to
render professional services. In his ab
sence a dandy young negro seated liim
self in tho chair and awaited his return.
When tho bootblack again appeared
on the scone, he was horrified. As he
approached his stand tho negro said,
"Shine 'crn up, please, and be quick
about it."
"Not if I know myself," replied the
bootblack, with an oath. "Get out of
that chair," he contiuned. "It's bad
enough for me to be shining boots all
me life, but I've got this to say—l never
shined shoes but for one of my own col
or." —New York Herald.
Points About Needles.
The great sail needle, which has to be
pushed with a steel palm, would puzzle
most people; so, too, the broommaker's
needle, which must also be pushed with
a steel palm. Tho curious knitting lria
chine needle, with us latchet; the arra
sono and crewel needles, and tbe needle
for shirring machines; the weaver's pin
for picking up broken threads, with an
open eye in the hook. The needle, as
we see it today, io the evolved produot
of centuries of invention. In its primi
tive form it was made of bone, ivory or
wood. The making of Spanish needles
was introduced into England during the
neign of Queen Elizabeth. Point by
point the manufacture has improved.—
L. G. Vance in Ladies' Homo Journal.
The Christian Nmne.
The term "Christian name" is used in
England and America only. "Baptismal
name" is used in other countries. Tho
terms seems to have been used first after
the reformation, when Biblical names
were used as a reaction against the use
of the saints' names iv the calendar. It
is evident that all Biblical names are not
Christian, but the reaction went, co far
as to consider every thing in tbe Bible as
Christian and everything not in the Bi
ble us pagan or certainly nonchristian.—

Why Grow Old. *
I find that if old people are put on a
good meat- diet in the way of st«png
soup, beef tea and animal food, and only
just sufficient farinaceous food and fats
and sngar to maintain the heat of tho
body, they increase wonderfully in en
ergy and, as tt|ey often express it, feel
20 years younger. tThis is only natural;
it is a food of energy—the fodd that
builds np muscle, nerve nnd constitu
tional stamina.
The requirements of the system in old
age as a rule are not great, and more
harm is done by taking too much food
than by taking too little. I have known
people considerably over 70 to derive the
greatest benefit from a thorough change
in diet. It seems to rejuvenate them.
Of course in old age care should be" taken
that the body is not subjected to rapid
changes of temperature. When the ner
vous power is decreasing as the result
of age and the system is losing its power
of combating cold and strain upon ita
energy, a stimulating diet invigorates
and is conducive to maintaining consti
tutional stamina better than any other.
Any natural death but from "old ago
and general decay is an accidental death
—that is, it is duo to causes which might,
and even perhaps could, have been en
tirely avoided and remedied in earlier
years.—Gentleman's Magazine.
Host Tonne Men Are Afraid of nobles.
"The avorage young man," said a
traveler, "has no great fondness for
young children. I don't know how
many times f have heard a mother who
was carrying a little child, and who had
halted in the aisle of a railroad car say,
referring to the vacant seat and ad
dressing tho young man by the window,
'Is this' seat taken?' And I don't know
how many times I havo seen the yonng
man's face lengthen as he answered po
litely, 'No.' The mother takes the seat
and the yonng man begins to rrrow rest
less. He reads the paper still, but ho
keeps his eye on tho baby, and yon may
bo sure the baby has its eye on him—a
beaming, good natured eye it is, too—and
the young man finds it Toot the easiest
thing in tho world to appear wholly un
constrained with attention thus drawn
to him, but be makes a bluff at it and
does pretty well until the infant mois
tens one chubby fist iv its month and
reaches out to mako a print of it on the
lapel of the young man's coat. Then
the young man rises. 'Madam,' he
says, 'let me give you this seat,' and he
steps out into the aisle. And ho doesn't
look for another seat in that car. Ho
makes a bee line for the smoker."—New
York Sun.
The Food We Kat.
Hardly a day passes that we do not re
ceive some shock, that we are not asked
to {rive ua) some favorite dish around
which clusters a host of tender early
memories, and after eating of which wn
have for 20 years on end felt ourselves
grow fat and childlike and nndyspeptic.
i But the modern hygiene says it must go,
and if we retain it on our list we do it in
au anxious and guilty mood suro of it
self to beget internal trouble.
Seemingly simple things like dry toast,
I oatmeal and apples we have heard for
j bidden of late as hard to take care of,
i and bananas, or, for example, the deli-
I cious, but as we supposed deadly, fried
, bacon cried up as food for babes and
I sucklings. This is puzzling—it goes
i against personal experience, it upsets all
! our dietary plans and pleasures, nnd it
awakens the shrewd suspicion that mere
; fashion is at the bottom of the change.

Cold Air In Place of Ice.
I predict that 10 years from now the
familial" ico wagon will be a novelty up
|on the streets of a city, so general will
! have been tho adoption of artificial re
! frigeration. For a long time brewers,
' pork packers and storage men have been
! independent of the ice crop, and the in
> traduction of the cold air pipe lines down
town has supplanted the use of ice in ho
tels, restaurants and barrooms except
wherein it is desired to make a display
of tho crystal commodity. In time tht
distribution of cold air will be as general
. in cities as is gas or water, and the sys
! tern will be perfected whereby the xc-
I frigernting gas necessary for attachment
to a family refrigerator will be delivered
:in a tank just like carbonated water is
to the soda fountains, once a month or'
as required.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Dueling In France.
Until within a few years dueling in
Franco was so common that 0,000 such
encounters were fought every year. The
vast majority of these occurred in the
army, but in 1890 M. de Freycinet, the
minister of war, discouraged the prac
tice and rendered it optional under cir
cumstances, in which it had been consid
ered imperative. Among civilians, how
ever, tho game goes merrily on, being
chiefly sustained by atf&ry politicians or
excited journalists. It was calculated
in 1886 that since 1870 847 duels had
been fought in France outside the army.
In ouly nine instances Were any of the
combatants disabled, while 08 per cent
, of those engaged left the field unscathed.

bad no worldly goods wherewith to en
dow yon."
"Ah, Robert," she replied, "but there

that I did not endow you with them."—

It is more than remarltablo that a cut,
torn which arose shortly after the death,
some 1,260 years ago, of a man whose
name was for centuries identified with
all that was hostilo to Christian domina
tion and opinion should within tbe last
few years have had an important and
favorable influence on the earnings oJ
certain British lines of steamers.
No race has been more enthusiastic in
the way of pilgrimage to the holy city
of Arabia than that inhabiting the Malay
peninsula and archipelago. Although
their conversion to Islamism dates back
only some 800 years, if indeed quite ac
long (the records of the event being da*
cidedly vague and untrustworthy), tin
duty of performing the "Hag" is recog
nised by all right minded Malays as im
perative. The peninsula itaelf probably
furnishes a far fewer number of pilgrims
than the large islands of the archipelago
forming tho magnificent territory known
as Netherlands Indies. Java and Celebes,
Boyan and Bugis, to say nothing of in
numerable less known places, now send]
forth mnltitndesryearly to visit the sa.
cred fane. It would not at first sight,
seem that the journey—made principally
In well appoifitect steamers—involved any
particular hardships.
But the usual conditions of the "p&>
grim traffic" aro somewhat different
from those of ordinary passenger vessels.
The Malay pilgrim, whose ticket to and
from Mecca is provided by a passage
broker, has to find his own provisions
while on board. In all cases be haa to
pay smartly for conveyance from Jeddah
to Mecca overland, unless he elects to do
the journey on foot, but in any event he
has to provide tho necessary commis
sariat. The steamers as a rule are over
crowded for ordinary comfort, although
permitted by regulation to carry the 500
or more pilgrims wHo embark. Should,
as sometimes happens, an epidemio
break out during the voyage, the death
rate becomes tragical. The worst hard
ships, however, commence on landing at
the evil smelling and by no means
healthy port of Jeddah.
Few of the pilgrims provide them*
selves with adequate necessaries to
tramp the greater portion of the 100
miles which separate the city of Mecca
from its nearest port. Yet worse is their
condition on returning. Tl)e price of
food is exorbitant, and thousands perish
annually of exhaustion and insufficient
nourishment—and this despite the best
efforts of the British and other consuls
at Jeddah, who issue all needful warn
ings to tho pilgrims. Quarantine, again,
tells heavily against the wonld be Haji.
A few extra days' detention exhausts bis
small stock of provisions, and he falls a
ready victim to disease. The result is
that a large proportion of those who
visit Mecca never return to their own
country. The trade, however, is profit
able to steamer owners, much as it is
disliked by captains and officers. Aa for
Europeans unfortunate enough to be
passengers iv a pilgrim ship, they are
not to be envied.—Pall Mall Gazette.
Character In Oalt.
Gait is an important part of physical
expression. By his gait a man tells us
whether ho is frosh or tired, strong or
feeble, in good health or in bad. To some
extent also gait denotes occupation. Tha
upright and somewhat rigid walk of tha
soldier differs largely from the rather
rolling gait of the sailor, and different
from both of these ie the slow, jolting
gait of tho country laborer, which, bow
ever, is partly accounted for by bis clum
sy and heavy boots. In the peculiarities
of gait, again, an attentive eye discovers
many moral qualities. Slow steps,wheth
er long or 6hort, suggest a gentle or reflect
ive state of mind as the case may be.
while on the contrary quick steps seem
to speak of agitation aud energy.
Reflection is revealed in *requent
pauses, and walking to and fro, back
ward and forward, the direction of the
steps wavering and following every
changing impulse of the mind, inevitably
betrays uncertainty, hesitation and in
decision. It might be asking too curious
a knowledge to distinguish by their re
spective gaits the miser, the spendthrift
and tho philanthropist, but the proud
man is almost always known by his step,
the vain man to some extent and the ob
stinate man not a little.—Leisure Hour.

No one who has not actually mixed
with New York dandies knows how
much they spend. A social philosopher
has lately reckoned that a yonng man
about town, who takes hts part in tbe
good things which are going, cannot
dress under $2,500 a year. His tailor's
bill will eat half of this, his shirts and'
"gentlemen's furnishings" a quarter, his
boots not less than $225. It will costovet
$500 to outfit him for yachting, t cutis
and polo. Then add to this his bill for
horses, his club bill, his florist's bill, his
restaurant bill, his lodging bill and the
nameless sundries which constitute one
half of the outlay of a yonng man about
town, and it will be gfen that a man may
havo $10,000 a yenr and yet be familiar
with the fiice of dung.
One of the oldest and wisest clubmen
of tho day recently, after an hour's study
of the necessarieo of life for a man of
fashion, declared that he would advise
no one to attempt the life with leee tban
$25,000 a year,—Cor. Ban Francisco Ar
gonaut.
A TJreach of Etiquette
In Holland a woman is a secondary
consideration aud a poor consideration
at that. No Dutch gentleman when
walking on the sidewalk will move out
of his way for a lady. The latter turns
out invariably, however muddy or dan
gerous the street. Ladies very rarely
make any reqr.ests of tho lords of crea
tion. An American woman asked a Hol
land gentleman at a party to bring her a
