And now that itlias been /earned that the Valkyrie is an S5 -footer with about 22 feet beam, 16 feet drargbt and eighty toes of lead on her Ariel, the feeling creeps over the more tholightful of our yachtsmen that he has miado a 'Aron bid toward producing a 1 voarld beater, and that we alien be put to aur trumps to defeat her. It is easy to aaragh, to meride and to shout in advance, but it is a deal more setisfactory to hold cora magi the battle is over and then, if you are on top, to do your ehouting.

Deceiving Children.9 Parents who treat their eons and daughters in n way to merit their indigna- tion and reproach, though the facts which call forth such feelingo may be endured in silencn have only themselves to blame when they are brought to a realizing Donee of their loss of the love and the confideme of their cbildrete This is often looked upon as ingratitude in a child, which is directly the result of the parents' method of dealing with hire. Children learn quickly by experience and seldom allow themselves to get burned in the same fire twice. How frequently, on e. ham, a pretty calf or colt or lamb is given to a child. He takes the promise in good faith, belle.ves the creature to be his very owe, feeds it, tends in perhaps loves it—only to find, when it developed into a handsome and desirable animal, that it wao never intended to be really his at all. He was allowed to call it his and to look at it as his but when there is sonic increase or a goodopportunity for sale ruthless hands beer looney the treasure, without even consulting the child's feelings by a single word and the father pockets the money, well satiefied with his bargain. He is sorry Tommy or Susie cried about it, but feels that he han made it afl right by pro- mising another; but the child has learned ta sharp lesson from experience -- be has learned not to truot his father and (some of the avenues of affection are forever .closed against him. His seem of justice has been outraged; he hes become kens frank and generous, more secret and selfieh. His innocent nature has received a :shock, and he recovers from it only to be more worldly wiee, but leas trnatful. In after Tears a child who has been treated in this] way will uncionsoiously and perhaps ruiavoidably do many thine that will wring his father's heart; but the sad hearted Man, if he Mika back far enough, will find the cause in his own actions—in his unreasoning tyranny over the marina of possessiona of a little child. Selfish men reason that everything pos- sessed by a child belongs to themselves until he reaches the age of 21, and accordingly seize upon them children's earnings and ruthlesely appropriate them to their own noes. How often a boy plants a little leatole of potatoes or something of the kind and works in it whenever he has a little time to call his own, eagerly hoping to sell hie crop and provide himself with some booke, olothing or something for -which his boyish heart longs, only to find the results of his labor sent to town some fine autumn day and turned in to pay his greetings bill I Or, perhaps, he works for a neighbor, with his father's °Mien% and delightedly plans to do wonderful thinga with the few dollars he earns; but, alas 1 too many boys find how easy it is to turn such earnings towards the squaring up of old neighborly accounts, and many a daugh- ter's oohed money is very bandy to pay interest with. Verily, people who deal in this way with their children have their reward, though It is not always quite what they expect. Very little children know the meaning of justice, though they do not understand the denti- tion ; and parents who break their faith in this respect can never regain their former pooition in the child's respect and affection. —.Phinsdenraia Times. • ltobly Doing:MeV:Share.

InOREDIBLE etTORIEB TOW On "afiE The Chbaese my that oreethird of the whole population was forced to work en the wall, but that means, a course, th popelation adjacent to the wall, nom writer in the "Engineering Magazine." Another story—that it Was COrepleted in ten yeers—is incredible, though it has been careleesly aceepted by some historians. When we regard the obarecter of the writ We eee as urtal two °lessee of laborers employed—the eitilled and unskilled. The carrying of materials was probably done entirely by men and women and an im. mense ammo of this crude labor was needed for rneking lorion, mixing mortar and tamping. Achievements like this are nob wouclerful in Chiva, which was a thickly populated country twenty centuries ago. Hietory men that an army of 300,000 or 400,000 men were sent to chive the northern berbariens back aka waa retained in the country for the purpose of building the wail. No doubt the available local impulse ties' was eito pressed into the work. Suit diepoattiona explain the provision of crude labor, but 13inCe my experience in China I have always wondered where the skilled workmen came from. Aside from four equare feet of rock surtaxing for ihe foundation there would he from thirty to bray square feet of squaring and facing on granite for each foot of the wall. I have mhad that work done in . China. My enee noundatione were of granite got out of rieer bOnlfierti, AB the wall blocks undoubtedly were, and after an experience of the tedious slowness of Chinese workmen I lock at the well with great respect. It must have been a tremendous task to collece men enough to do this work. China is distinctly a country of mud and brick habitations. Stonework in draggled materials is by no means common, and I ebould my that at the pretend day there are not stonecutters enough in China to make a visible impres- sion upon 250 miles of DeW wall in ten years. In brick -making my wonder took another direction. The lame brioks used in the wall, containing nearly one and two-thirds cubic feet each, required not only the best akin, bub the best clay. The labor could be obtained, but my experience in the country of the great wall taught me that supplies of proper clay were few and far between. Seismal months peened before we could find any available nay nearer than thirty miles from tho mine and tle supply obtained there was too poor for making large brick. Tbe makers ot the wall mut have been hard -pushed to find what they wanted, and it is probable that the whole great bulk of the brickwork was Mane - ported overland, principally by human carriers, for distances of at least thirty milers, besides its distribution along the wail. he quantities of material used in the wall are not remarkable when compared with modem railroad building, but the expenditure of labor probably summand anything we know. We have almost eliminated labor from transportation, brickmaking and lifting to the top of the growing wall. With the Chinese every oxie of these tasks called for an army of men. The provision of, say, 20,000,000 yards of earth filling was probably the least part of the task. Nowadays no engi- neer would hesitate to contract for SOO miles of railway embankment in China, and he would lay it up with the basket and hoe just as the wall builders did. Lime burning and mixiug, laying up the wall, and tramping the filling, were by comparison the minor divisions of the work, though they, too, would caliber an immense number of men. The provisioning of all these non -pro- ducers was a task for a general. The quantity of food consumed by a vegetarian is immense, and the neighborhood of the - wall is not a fertile region. With only 1,000 men to.provide for I had to Bend 100 miles for gram, and I doubt extremely if 500,000 men, in addition to the ordinary population, could be maintained to -day along the line of the wall on supplies obtained within 100 miles of both sides. PRETTY CREEKS. -- They Are the Finishing Touch to a Woman's Face. Surely they are a rare finishing touch, an otherwise handsome face being often spoiled by high cheele-bones and thin or flabby oheeke. The high cheek bones can scarcely be softened unless the cheeks are made firm and plump. Contrivances worn in the mouth for filling out the cheeks have, been resorted to, but scarcely without great discomfort, and the only reasonable way to accomplish the desired result is to take on more flesh and to study carefully the dress- ing of the hair. In sCalle instances, however, there will be a superfluity of flesh where it ill not wanted, while the cheeko persist in remaining thin.. A firm, round cheek, with a slight dimple showing with every smile, le a most attrao- tive charm. The slater of a young gentle- man who had a pencil accidentally thrust through one cheek in boyhood, leaving an indentation that was quite a natural -looking dimple, was won't to remark that she really wished it had happened to her, as the would have thrust a pencil through the other cheek, and fele abundantly repaid for the increase of beauty. ;Delicately Expressed.

By the latest application of electrioity to the medical mime it bus become possible to utilize the human head as a ientern. illans was proved by Dr. Wendell C. Phillip on Wedneenty night before a meeting of tbe larytigological sectiont of the Academy of Medicine. The electrical apparatua used is called a "head illuminator.' It coesiets of a email inOOtidescollt, globe and an electric light of three condi° power and about as big as a grape. Ib is atljutited to the end of a rubber tube, %Welt in appearance remanbles a lead pencil, and through which the wires reach tho globe. in demonstrating the properties at tine light before the Academy of Medicine Dr. Phillips called a sinall boy to the plat:Iona and pieced the itstrument In MO month. The boy closed his lipe, all the lights were turned tun and then the light in the in- strument eves turned on. Immediately the boy's cheeks became translucent, and every -vein and imiterfma titer of the skin stood out with distinctness. Tim light also Flom through the upper pare of the face. Venious Devices. I called on Dr. Phillips, at No. 350 Madi- son avenue, yeaterday, and was shown the illuminetor, together with an aggregation of the latest electrical surgical inmientents. " The beauty of this illuminator," said Dr. Paillime "lies in the fact that it enables us to read certain conditions of the head which could only be learned hereto- fore by operations or probings. If the light shines through one side of the face and not the other we know the dark side is affected. "ib also throws a light through the bomb of the face and diecloses formations of the bone vehicb, under other circum - stamen, could only be ascertained by drill- ing into the bones. Placed in the corner of the eye, the light shines up through the cavity in the fron tal bon e just over the eyebrow. Catarrhal diseases are thus located.' Here the doctor placed a small section of a rubber hose Over the light which he held In his hand at the time, "Now rake how this shines through my thumb ?" he continued. "Well, if there was a splinter there it could be accurately located. Any disarrangement of the smelt bones of the hand could be ascertained in the same manner. "This practical use of electricity in sur- gery is not new, however," added the doctor. "The first:man to utilize it was Vol - tonna In regard to these newer instru- ments which I have about me I have just added improvements. A LAMP TO ZEI SWALLOWED. "Here is a search light'," said Dr. Philips, taking up a curved piece of nickel made to fit over the bead and come down between the brows. Between the brows was a bens, which stood out like the glass ins bull's-eye lantern. It was connected by wires with a storage battery. A switch was turned and a bright light shone out from the appara- tus like a star on the forehead of a ballet dancer. "This light," said the physician, "shines into and down the throat of a patient who is being examined for throat troubler. This latter examination can also be performed by the insertion of a small electric light the size of a pea. "There is another instrument consisting of a flexible tube with a small lamp at the end and connected with a battery. The patientswallows this lamp, and when it reaches the stomaoh it shines through so diseased organism can be plainly read irom the outside. The circulation Is visible and an abnormal development stands out like a mole on a person's oheek. "All these implements and devices," added Dr.Phillips in conclusion, " are the re- sults of study made by prominent physicians and sturgeons. I have not Mvented these things. 1 have only developed them. We haven't reached the highest development of the use of electricity in the medical science yet. We are working now on new lines." TALKS THROUGH A TUBE, A man furnished by nature with a seetik- ing apparatus after his larynx has been entirely out out and his windpipe grown together above the aperture in his throat, through whioh he breathes'was exhibited at the same meeting of the Laryngologioal Association at which Dr. Phillips showed his electrical appliances. Dr Solis -Cohen, of Philadelphia, Pa., ex- hibited the man, and the darters at the meeting pronounced the case wonderful. The man sang for them and talked no that they could distinctly hear his yoke thirey feet away. Dr. Solis -Cohen, when asked for an account of the mem said : "I found the man in the Philadelphia Hospital over a year ago suffering from cancer of the larynx. The diastase had ad- vanced to such a stage that it was necessary to adopt heroic measures, and I determined to cut the larynx out. I opened his wind- pipe and inserted a tube so that he could breathe. Then I sewed it up tightly between the aperture and the larynx and performed he operation. Of course I naVer antici- pated this curious result. One day, about six months ago'when I was talking to him in the hospital I noticed he was attempting to talk and was succeeding in making some sounds. I encouraged him to continue his effort,. The result is as I have told you. The man is a teamster, about 50 years old. Where are the Whales? The fad) of the matter, and the one point that has mused this extended exploration trip of the barque Grayhead in Antarctic waters is that the hunting ,grounds in the north are giving out very rapidly, and the whalerhave virtually ceased fishing in Bananas Bay, Davis' Strait, and in the Spitz. bergen whaling ground. The " right " and bowhead " whales, which are more desim able on account of the bone they produce, are virtually extinct in these waters, and the whaling fleet now push on to Sebring Sea and the Arctic proper. It is a fad that whalebone and ivory are two animal pro- ducts which art or science have not been able to reproduce. In the good days of plenty, whalebone sold at 81.50 a pound ; its price to -day is 86. That gives a fair idea of how the supply haa diminished in the lase ten years.-01Inago Times. .

A feature of the World's Fair that has been exteneively advertised is the statue of Justice, of waioh Min Ada Ilsiassn is the model. The ceremony of unveiling took place in the Montana section of the Mines and Xining Building on Monday. Hundreds of persons saw the unveiling and sheered till their applause rang through the rafters as the folds that draped the Liget* fell to the pedeeted and for the filet time revealed the beautiful work of art to the public view. Mrs. Rickards, wife of the Governor of Montana, which tate contributed the handitorne statue to the fair'loosened the cords that held the veiling. The ceremony was strictly a /lefontaea programme. The apace in the Montana section itself was re. served for those who presented cards of In- vitation, but the broad aisles were packed with epectatore as far each way as a view of the statue could be obtained. The unveiling ceremoniee began promptly at 3 o'clock, Mr. Bickford, the executive oonmissioner of the Montana State Board, anted as muter of the festivities and intro- duced the speakere. During the pro- gramme the band played "The Saver Statue March," written for this occasion by IOU Arnold, of Chicago. The statue is plaoed piat in the centre of the section, the entrance to which is guarded by two ferocious appearing bronze lions. The lower part of the pedestal is of ebony and upon this, to support, the statue,is a globe of pure gold i two feet and five nches in circumference and ten inches high, far more valuable, from a money point of view, than the silver figure keen. Around the figure is a bronze railing. Three bronze poles which rise from the sides support a maroon velvet canopy which covers the figure. This gives the statue the appear- ance of having just risen from a seat The statue will be carefully guarded day and night by awned men. Its total value is said to be 6325,000. Miss Behan was not present at the ceremony. ON TRIAL FOR OD DAYS. The finest,' completest and latest line oc Elec. trical apellan ces in the v..orld They have never failed to cure.

Many people think that a baby's first boots should be made of the Hottest material that can be found for the purpore. But the most sensible mothers, and those who have children with good strong ankles, will tell you that soft boots are not best for babies when they are first put on their feet. A laced boot about five inches in height, made of soft calfskin, with a tbin leather sole, should be worn in summer, while for winter the soles should be quite thick. Should the child's ankles bend when standing, be euro to get the laced boots which have a stiff back and sides to them. This stiff boot is not too hard for the tender feet, because this stiffness' is only caused by a piece of leather which is placed between the lining and the outside of the boot. The Energy Stored In Coal. A curious and interesting calculation has been made by Prof. Rogers, of Washington, D. C., on the "dynamic" power of coal. According to his deductions a pound of good Inez= coal has within it dynamic power equivalent to the work of one man for a period of ten hours. Three tons of similar . coal represent a man's labor for a period of several years. One square mile of a seam of coal having a depth of only four feet represents power equal to that expended by one million men ten hours each day for twenty years! Such calculations as those made by Mr. Rogers may aerve to remind no how very wasteful our methods of burn- ing fuels must be, in spite of all that has been done in the fuel -saving line by the inventore and economists.
