nendemy this winter, contributed largely towards the evening's entertainment by rendering several choice selections on the violin, Despite the extreme cold of Monday evening a goodly number of children, parents and friends gathered in the hall for the annual Xmaa tree of the Methodist Sabbathschoo!l.Consider- ableeffort had been put forthto train the children, who nequitted themselves most creditably.A number of tableaux suitable to the occasion elicited deserved applause.On Sanday morning as a son of Wm.Stevenson, Covey Hill, wus leading a horse out to water.The animal reared and jumped, breaking the boy\u2019s leg tiear the aukle.Dr Monk being telephoned for, set the limb, which is doing well, Last Sunday gnite a ripple of ex- «tement wascaused in this unusnally quiet villuge Ly the report that a panther, weighing upwards of one hundred and fifty pounds, hud been seen lurking around the outer fields of one of our farmers.A posse started in immediate pursuit, ready for action with the necessary weapons of destruction.After following the trail for some miles they at last espied the object of their search at a distance and carefully examining their guns they held a harried consultation be fore marching apon the formidable adversary, I imagine the chagrin depicted upon their faces to find on closer examination that the animal was only a big mastiff owned by one of our neighbors.The brave hunters returned sadder but wiser men, HOWICK.Intensely severe weather prevailed for six or seven days previous tu the 27th December, when the temperature began to moderate, Owing to the stormy, cold weather, the attendance at the lime-light entertainment in the Georgetown church was small.The views shown were bril- linntly executed and highly iuterest- ing, being chiefly scones taken from Scotland and Ireland.Theeffeet was much enhnnced by the description of the illustrations given by Mr Russel.The meeting under the auspices of the Royal Templars.though attended by about one hundred and fifty p-r- sons, was small compared with the number that would have been present had the night not been so unfavor- nble.The program was unusually interesting, including a cantata by the young folks, Mr Pickard of Mon- trenl was very amusing in his humorous recitations and kept theaudience brimful of mirth.Me Spencer, chief organizer for the Royal Templars, gnve 1 short

fake Toronto paper: \u201cYou have seen the ads.in the press from one end of the country to the other during the past two yeurs which promised free trips to various points, organs, pianos, tea setw watches, guns, chinaware, rik dress patterns and other prizes as rewards for the greatest number of words made out of a couple of specified worda.Now, if all the prizes promised had been given away the Dominion government could hardly have stood the strain, In other words, very few of the prizes advertized were given.As a general rule these were \u2018planted\u2019 \u2014to use the professional term\u2014where | they would do the most good.The! editor of the town newspaper, or a | girl in a factory cr tailor shop all make excellent \u2018plants,\u2019 How did we know to whom to give prizes?Experience tenches everything, Few of the \u2018gifts\u2019 go at hap hazard, and the number of words sent in is not always a factor in the mintter.Of conrse, before a prize is sent at all the subscription price of the newspaper must Le sent, together with 30 or 40 cents for \u2018packing.\u2019 This is, of course, an almost imaginary expense on the part of the publisher, aud goes tothe profits.It's not so much what these papers receive ns what they save.that makes theirowners affluent, Here's the greateat graft of the whole business with some of the concerns.When the \u2018competition\u2019 is over every person who has sent in a list of words without the subscription price, usual- Iv $1, is notified that they have won \u2018a valuable prize,\u201d and they are told that to receive this they must remit the subscription price, nnd, say 50 cents, for \u2018packing, ete.\u2019 A few days Inter the competitor will receive, in 99 cases out of 1 100, n butter knife or a pickle fork, which costs about 6 cents a piece wholesale.Then the paper is sent along for a year.You can gee from this that the scheme is to secure subscribers.The way the public look at it is that the paper has secured $1.50 for a trifling piece of silverplate.In the very first place, you know, the would-be prize winner is taxed 10 or 15 cents for n copy of the rules of the competition.So while every person who sends $1 getr the paper, the subscription and the cash is secured because of the subscriber having been dazzled by big promises and greater hopes.\u201d Another feature of the prize competition has been the Bible questions, made so ridicnlously ensy that even the most credulous could hardly fail to see the point.Hundreds of costly prizes were proniised for correct an swerd.There were \u2018first nnrwers,\u2019 \u201clast answers, \u2018middle answers \u2018consolation prizes.\u2019 and the whole ap.praled to the cupidity of a greedy public.Is it any wouder that the \u2018Bible question\u2019 which also caught religious people and gave the paper propounding it a sort of standing, boomed every sheet which submit ted it with n good ait attached?Just now only one paper in Outario is running this scheme.In its day the Bible question wns 1 gorgenus success, but a longenmpaiægn bas dimmed its brillianey.Of course every person who answers the Seriptoral question and wins a prize is stuck for pncking, ete.\u2019 expenses.Recently the histori enl question competition has come to the fore, A bankrupt merchant at Acadia Mines, N.8., has been sentenced to two months in jail for having wilfully contracted a debt without having at the time a rensonnble expectation of boing able to pay it.In a practical way the Episcopal church in the United States hos shown its aympathy with the movement for the complete separation of church and state.The Board of Missions has décline) to accept a government grant to nid its work of Indian education.which is partly religious in its character.Similar action was taken not long ago by one of the leading American Methodist bodies.Lt is quite evident that there is a growing feeling of opposition in the United States agninst the use of any public moneys for religious purposes.Public sentiment there on the subject in much wore advanced than in Canada, where the Roman Catholic hady and all the lending Protestant denominations, except i the Baptists, accept state aid for missionary and educational work.\u2014 ; Mail, THE London papers are writing in {invasion of the metropolis.It is the invariable invasion of the tartan, for which, it seems, quite a craze has broken ont among English ladies, All the shop windows where female attire is displayed have been bright.enw up with it, and the gloom of the wintry streets is warmed by flashes j of the brightest fabrics as worn in | petticoats, liniogs for cloaks and \"hoods, or as trimmings.handkerchiefs and neckties.Oneof theoddest uses to which the Stewart tartan has been put is that mentioned by a cor- reapondent, who ays he met the wife , of a well-known clergyman, aceom- | panied by a little pug dog dressed in a complete suit of the popular material.It looked \u2018\u2018as prood us a sodger.\u201d London, Dec.28.\u2014Four of the Irishmen convicted in October, 1889, of having been accessories to the killing of

done in by far the quickest and most pninless death, the person who under- tukes it, being provided with a pistol, even of moderate calibre.should stand in front of the horse, taking the halter or bridle of the right side in his left.hand.place the head in n perpendicular position, select a spot in the centre of the skull, three inches above a line drawn between the eyes, hold the wenpon ahout three incher distant from the skull, nnd fire; if properly done the bullet will penetrate the brain and enter the spinal canal, thus destroying the most vital parts of the cerebro-spinal nxis and produc ing instant death, without the lenst suffering or consciousness of injury on the part of the animal.\u2014Dr Me- Enchren.India is growing nearer to England every year.The new steamer Hima- Inya, of the famous Peninsular and Oriental line, has just beaten all records in her maiden trip from Bombay to Brindisi, having completed the distunce in 11 days nnd 9 hours.The passengers who left her at that point and travelled overland with the mails renched London in 13 days and a half from the time of starting.Plenty of persons now living remember when a voyage round the Cape occupied from 3 to G montlis, according to circumstances, and even after the adoption of the Egyptinn route, returning Anglo-Indinns congratu- Inted themselves if they saw Dover within six weeks of leaving Bombay.The record of the Himalaya iscertain to be broken before long.Sanguine prophets are already saying that with faster steamers and the abolition of delays in the Suez canal the trip will be made in ten days, There are four things in which the youth should be thoroughly trained inorder toincroase hia general intelligence and strengthen his reasoning power.These four are: Observing accurately: recording these observations correctly; comparing and grouping the facta thus collected properly, and inferring from them just conclusions; and, finally, expressing cogently the resulta of these mental operations.This is what education should necomplish, but the work in the schools is by no means calculated to reach this end, Rome, Dec, 23 \u2014All the cardinals at present in Rome waited upon the Pope teday and tendered him the usual Christmas congratulations, In reply to the wood wishea for the chureh and himself, the Pope said that the signs of a gathering storm were visible to all ohservers of moral and religions conditions.The European situation wus pregnant with ruin and disuster, and this condition could only he brought to au end by the henling virtue of the church, which herself was being violently aa.sailed, In the course of his remarks the Pope referred to the Freemasons, whom he condemned an a malignant sert, who were never free to the people, Lut who, unfortunately, were supported by the government.He concluded by bestowing the apostolic blessing upon the whole world.CYCLONE INSURANCE.HE undersigned Legs to inform his customers and others

Heard | and Answered From on Migh\u2014Thrii} 4 i Stories of the Perils and Suffering | Aboard the Ship, No great ships\u2019 company ever escaped scot free from severer perils than those which threatened 700 souls on the steamship Spree during the first forty-eight hours after the disaster to her machinery.The extent and nature of the dangor was not made known to the passengers until the 4th Dec.They knew that they had faced death, but they did not know that escapo was almost miraculous.They did not know that for hours the ship's officers expected her to sink with but little warning.They did not know that the lifeboats and rafts were provisioned and made ready for sudden launching, and that the officers were armed in preparation fur the desperate rush that might come in such an extremity.They did not know that resort to boats in such a rea meant death to most if not to all.The danger isover now, but the memory of the anxious hours of a week ago is so appalling that stout hearted Moody, the evangelist, could not speak of the trying time with- vut emotion.Most of the passengers are loath to talk of the frightful strain which drove four or five to madness and one to suicide.Mr.Moody earnestly affirms that nothing short vf the direct interposition of providence in answer to prayers saved the liv 1 of the whole ship's company, BY DIVINE INTERVENTION, \u201cDid you ever hear 700 men and women pay?\u201d said he.\"There never was more earnest prayer to God than that of those 700 souls on that helpless, alinost sinking ship in mid-ocean that Sunday evening, when we met in the saloon to implore God's help.And God answered us, as I knew Ho would, He sent us a rescuing ship and He calined the sea s0 that for & week it was ns smooth as | it is in this harbor, though there were storms all around us.It was the grand.eat test of prayer 1 ever knew.y son was with ie, He is a student in Yale college and the learned professors there have instilled in him some doubts about God's direct interferenco in answer to rayer.After we liad prayed that night Pied reached a puint where I cared not whether it wus God's will that we should go up or down.I determined to go to rent as if we were sailing safely on our way.My boy could not rest.We were fast drifting out of the track of vessels and our peril was extreme.About 2.50 he came and woke mie, telling me to come on deck.There he pointed out an occasional glimpse of a tiny light that showed over the waves as our sl ip rolled heavily from side to side.\u2018It our star of Bethlehem,\u2019 he cried, \u2018and our prayers are answered.\u2019 Before daylight the Huron, on whose masthead was the light, had reached us and the waves were still, and the winds were hushed by divine command, whilo we were drawn out of the direct peril to this safe haven.\u201d Very simple and very thrilling is the narrative given by Gen.O, O, Howard, \u201cTho weather had been rough for sone time when the accident happened,\u201d said the one-armed soldier, \u2018\u2018The alarm was not very great at first among the first cabin passengers, It was a terrible exe perience for the second cabin and steerage passengers, who were asleep in the compartment next to the last into which the water first rushed.They barely reached deck ahead of the inrushing flood and they saved nothing but the clothes they wore.It became evident that the shaft tunnel had been burst in several places and pumping was quite usoless.The two near compartiments were entirely abandoned to the water, and it made rapid inroads into the third.The pussengors, I think, behaved splendidly; instead of selfishness and complaining there were most touching demonstrations of sympathy and desire to help others throughout the ship.Yes, the minds of three or four gave way under the strain, hut there was no great excitement at any time, Some rather foolish things were done, but they did not seem amusing nt the time.The ladies were wonderfully self-pussessed and considerate throughout the crisis, Neither I nor my daughter-in-law, who is travelling with me, felt any alarm, 1 had throughout a strong, perha unreasonable intuition that we should all escape.We tried to finpart the same confldence to others.It was an experience that brought out as nothing else could do the common brotherhood of man.There were some close confidences exchanged among us those two anxious days.The case of the yofing Austrian who jumped overboard was s very sad one.He made a confidant of an American lady to whom he gave up his stateroom after the accident.He said hig name was Paul Karnsler.He was sure that almost all would perish, and he begged this lady if she escaped to communicate with his fiance and to say it was his wish that all his property should goto her.He had, it is said, & very go sum of money in his possession.GOD HEARD THE PRAYERS, \u201cMr.Moody had suffered much from sea-sickness up to the time of the aoci- dent.Imet him on the deck two or three hours after the crash, when every- y was most apprehensive.\u2018\u2018(ieneral, come down to my room with my son and me,\u2019 he said.We went below and Mr.Moody dropped on his knees and offered one of the most topching prayers I have ever heard.We the 91st psalm, and I too asked (God to save not only the lives but the nonls of those on board.Moody, too, offered a prayer which I shall never forget.think no one on went to bed that firs night.We were a v quiet, a very anxious company.Sunday evening Mr.Moody asked me to organize a service in the saloon.I asked the captain's permission and his reply was \u2018Most certainly; Iam that kind too\u2019 We gave notice of the meeting, and to our surprise everyone on board attended except of course, the officers and crew who could not leave their ta.You will readily believe it was the most impressive religious gathering any of us ever attended.Jews, Catholics and all others forgot differences in creeds and denominations; there was no room for them in such an hour.Mr.Moody read the 91st and 107th Psalms, and one of the Germans translated them verse by verse for his countrymen.Mr.Moody offered a most fervent prayer and I made a short address.(God heard ns and answered us.1 went to my stateroom to rest after the meeting, and I was asleep when someone touched me.1 awoke te find & sweet, fond little German girl, the daughter of one of the passengers, by my cot She could not understand & word of English, but my daughter had drilled Vr to speak four English Jord, whi.n were the message she (1 brought me, \u2018The steamer is comin, And then she added her German hal lujah.After that, with reserve at hand in case of necessity, the tension on all our minds was relaxed and the week passed not unpleasantly.\"\u2014London Correspondence Chicago Herald.Home are born to matrimony, some achieve matrimony and some have matrimony thrust upon them, AN ARISTOCRATIC DUELIST.Death of the Man Whese Chief Characteristic Was Coslness.A rather remarkable Englishman has just died at Davas Plate, in Switzerland, where he had gone for the benefit of his health, viz., Harry Vane Milbank, son of the well-known baronet, Sir k Milbank.The money he got through with in his time must have been at least what would have constituted two handsome fortunes, and he began the art of extra vagance when quite a youngster in the Life (iuards, e was at one time en- aged to be married to the notorious Kian Gray, but, luckily, that mad ste was provented iu time.His affairs wi : the t-known money lenders of London and elsowhere have during the past twenty years furnished much food for chroniques scandalouses, but the Jews always liked Harry Milbank, for if he made thom wait lie always paid them in

six feet four inches high, both of Boston, and Rev.Dr.Mc- Vicar, of Philadelphia\u2014made in company a trip to Rt and, says the Grip- sack.En route they determined that when they should reach that counter they would travel apart, lest three suc tall men together might provoke remark.Bat arriving at a well-known town in Yorkshire, and learning that a lecture wan to be delivered to workingmen on America, they determined to be present.Entering the hall separately, they took soats apart.As the lecturer irocended, his utter ignorance of Amer- ca soon became manifest to the three Americans.Finally, however, a statement concerning the size of Amerivans was too absurd to be endured in silence.The speaker had barely time to conclude & sentence asserting that Americans are proverblally short of stature, never exceeding at the utmost five feet ten inches, when Mr.Robinson arose and said : ** My friends, I am an Amorioan, and, \u2018a8 you see, I measure fully six feet.If there is any other American who happens just now to be in the house, I request hin to stand up.\u201d An expression of surprise was follow.od by roars of laughter as Rev.Phillips Brooks arose and said: \u20181 am an American, and my height, 6 feet 4 inches, occasions no particular remark in America.If there is any other American in the house, I in turn request him to stand up.\u201d fter à Japne of a few seconds, in order to give the lecturer a little time to recover himself, Dr.McVicker slowl raised his najestic figure to its fall height of 6 feet 8 and began: \u201cTaman Am\u2019 e\u2014\u2014 But this was too much, and he could not get any further.The audience had lost all control of itself, and the speaker's disappearance from the ntage brought the entertainment to a premature close.Monday More Unlucky Than Friday.Many yenra ago, when mailing ships were the only means of communication between the different countries, superstition was more rife among sailors than at the present time.These absurd fan- cien were not confined to Jack alone.Harper's Young People says they were shared in to a greater or less extent by shipmasters and owners.Friday was considered a day of evil, and the most malignant results were su to st- tend a voyage commenced on this day of the week.In thoge times he would have indeed heen a reckless skipper who would have attempted to nail on this ill- mnened day, for the crew would have broken out in open rebellion rather than lift the anchor from the bottom or cast oft shore moorings.Since the advent of steam many of these prejudices have become as derelict as the ships on which they were once entertained, A true story is told of a skeptical Massachusetts captain who, away back in the early years of the republic, determined to exhibit the fallacy of this particular superstition.He contracted on a certain Friday for the building of & ship, and it was arranged that the keel of this vessel was lait on Friday, that she was launched on a Friday, named Friday commenced loading on a Friday, an hauled into the stream on the same day of the week.To add to the possibilities of disaster, a negro cook named Friday was engaged ; and thus fully freighted with the sinister name, the Friday sailed on a Friday, bound to a port in the West Indies.From that da, tidings of the ill-.conditioned craft have been received.But those of us who like Friday for various reasons, but chiefly because it leads up to Saturday, upon which days schools are closed, will be pleased to hear that it is not half so unlucky a day as Monday, the day schools open again.A German statistician, feeling that Friday had been a much maligned day, determined to make a scientific investigation of the matter, and has found that it is not Friday, but Monday, that is the most unfortunate of the week-days.Accordin; .urs.day, 16.88 cent.on Friday, 16.38 cent.on detarday, and only 9.60 od cent.on Sunday.Petit Journal, ting nearly & mil.Hon and »

was a happily mar ried woman, and having resolved to put her friend, Vere Nugent, Into a similar agreeable wedlock with George Lum- ley, had invited the two young persona out to her summer home at the fish ponds.This was very magnanimous on Mrs.Jock\u2019s part, for George Lumley, the artist, was so old and good a friend as to be considered quite her own proper ty.The unaware victims of Mra Jock's plot were in love with each other befor: a week of association was over.\u2018The artist bad begged her to sit for a sketch of Penelope, to be used in a projected painting, and she had sung little ballads for him, as few could sing better.But she misconstrued him, nevertheless, and believed that his tenderness was his pastime merely.They were seated on a bench, after a game of tennis, when George Lumley began his declaration of love.\u201cPlease don't say any more about it, Mr.Lumley,\" she interrupted, coldly.\u201cI would rather you did not, indeed.\u201d She was positively trembling under the touch of his eager hands, her heart was beating so loudly that she thought he must assuredly hear it, she was Ln \u201cA u> TON 1594 oa AFTER A GAME OF TENNIS.longing, longing with all her heart and soul to let herself drift into the full delight of hearing his words of love\u2014but no, he was a flirt, it was his way, he meant nothing, and she was proud, and .firm, and resolutely strong.\u201cMay 1 say nothing else?\" he said, with oh! such a world of entreaty and yearning in his voice and eyes.| \u201cThere is nothing else to say,\u201d she sald, in a frozen voice.Ap hour later, Lumley said to Mrs.Jock: \u201cI want you todo me a favor.I must get to town early.Will it be possible for me to catch the eight o'clock train?\u201d \u201cOf course.But George\u2014you are coming again?\" anxiously.\u201cI say, Mrs.Jock, its kind of you to ask me to come again, but I can't while Miss Nugent is staying with you.\u201d \u201cBut why?[-I thought you liked her so,\u201d the little woman exclaimed.\u2018George, has anything happened?\u201d \u2018Miss Nugent definitely refused me last night,\u201d he said, in an odd, unmoved, wooden kind of voice.\u201cGeorge, ! am very sorry,\u201d she said, winking hard to keep the tears out of her eyes\u2014they were plainly to be heard in her trembling voice\u2014*\u2018but indeed [ think there is quite a misunderstanding.Iam

the tall of Vere's blue serge gown disappear into the drawing-room.Mrs.Jock went after her and shut the door.**Vere,\" she said abruptly, \u201cwhy did you refuse George Lumley?\" **Dut Nr.Lumley never asked me to marry him,\u201d the girl stammered.\u2018\u2018He said something about the sitting for his Penelope, and then\u2014he\u2014he said something very vague and uncertain about his wishes, and all thet, and\u2014and\u2014I[ knew he was one of the greatest flirts in London, and\u2014and\u2014I cut him short, that was all.But he never asked me to marry him, Mrs.Jock, | swear to

away\u2014wretched- wretched!\u201d : \u201cI am wretched, too,\u201d Vere burst out, indignantly.**Bo you ought to be, 50 uu deserve tp be,\" Mrs.Jock retorted, passionately, \u201cAnd then you say he's a flirt.told you that?NotI! He can't help half the women in London being ia love with him; he can't help being the most charming, delightful man in the world.Buta flirt he never was.l\u2019a known him for years\u2014years.1 nevge saw dear old George flirt yet, though I've seen dozens of women trying hast to flirt with him.And you've broken his heart, sent him away wretched and miserable, and I wish l'A never asud you to come down here at all, or hisa either\u2014yes, I do.\u201d It was not often that Mrs.Jos worked herself up into a regular passion, though she could, as Jock could have borne witness; on that par ticular occasion, however, she was in a boiling passion, and what the end of it all would have been I really cansot say.had not Vere created a diverajon by suddenly flinging herself down upen the nearest sofa in a positive agony of reproachful grief.For & moment or so Mra.Jock was startled into silence, then her kindliness reasserted itself and she sat down and drew the sobbing girl to her heart.\u2018\u2019There\u2014there.dear.| was horrid snd unkind and a perfect beast to you,\u201d she cried.\u201cDon't ery like that, darling pray don't\u2014I never mean half + han IT\" Joc fell you.\" iv was uly cout PS oo fons of dear old George, and 1 couldn\u2019 bear to think he should be made unm.happy for no real reason, for you do like him, don't you, Vere?Oh, my dear, you don't know how dear and kind and good he is\u2014you'd never think he was a genius if there wasn\u2019t all his lovely pictures hung on the line every year to prove it.Aud be lad \u201cover asked anyone else be\u2018ore Vere.iv tu told me so\u2014\" \u201cAnd he will never ask me ugin,\u201d ' sobbed Vere, in a piteous, strangled v \u201cWell, ao be said,\u201d said Mra.Jock re- ' flectively\u2014\"but then men say a great many things that they don't stick to, you know, dearie.And why old George as well as any other man, et And you do really like him, | Vers, however, had nothing definite ' to say os this ou bat she cried à that gram from the city.\u201cVere, Vere,\u201d she cried, breathlessly, \u201cI knew it was all right\u2014!

he leaps into the air from his vantage ground on some high limb and soar off in any direction as easily and as graceful as sone gaudy insect, rapid movements of the legs and the rudderlike tail serving to steer the ethereal creature in any direction desired.Draco volans was unknown to natural ists prior to 1880, and may even now be said to possess many characteristics not thevoughly understood.| Taxing Vanity for Charity.Dom Pedro, the late Emperor of Brazil, desired to erect a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, but the means for ite construction were wanting.He tried to raise the necessary sum by subscription from the rich people in_ the city and country, but had very little success, Then the idea struck him to grant titles for money.For the title of \u2018\u2018count\u201d or \u201cbaron \u201d certain high taxes were to be id.But as hereditasy nobility had m gbolished in Brazil, such titles were only personal.If the sons of the ennobled wanted to retain the itle Joey had to pay over again for the privilege, Dom Pedro knew well the weakness men.As soon as nobility was granted | to one rich family, the majority of the | | rest followed suit, and in this way the Emperor collected a large sum, sufficient to erect and equip a splendid hospi- fh ars of HE el nsc 0) of HN .tas humana mjsesise humpnsn\u201d (humey vanity do Dumas ain, TERR The nursery is the house's heart, the | library if ains, the kitchen its\u2019 Sunes had ts castor $18 Sour GIONS: @ WRITING WITH FIRE | \u201cTELEPHOTUS,\u201d A SYSTEM OF 8IG- NALLING BY FLASHES.Enabling Communication to be Had With Ships Fifteen Mlies Out at Sea\u2014The Inventor Gives the Public a fipecimen of Its Operation.{ The letters seemed to stand out in fire from the wall of the darkened room, and thoss who were present read them like Daniel read the writing at Belshazzar's feast\u2014that is, if they understood the Morse telegraph alphabet, they could read it.It was up in the top story of the Buffalo Seal and Press Company's building ut the corner of Seventh and Hudson streets, says the Buffalo Commercial, and a hundred or more of the city's best known scientific, professional and business men were present.The occasion was the introduction of the \u2018 telephotos,\u201d to those who have Jong been anxious to catch a glimpse of the iustruinent that promises to instantly convey messages over a space of 10 or 15 miles of land or water, without the medium of wires, tubes or anything save atmosphere, It is the child of Mr.C.V.Bough- ton\u2019s brain.For most three years the inventor has been working patiently upon it, and now he has a telephtus that he thinks is about perfection.That is why Mr.Boughton invited his friends in lust evening and introduced them to a device that is destined to become a marked feature in urmy and navy service.It is an extremely simple thing, and its simplicity is one of its strongest fea tures.In order to understand it imagine two parallel boards, 27 feot long and about two inches apart.In the space between these boards 106 incandescent electric lights of ordinary size are placed so close together that they touch, and forin one solid line of lights.This shaft of lights can be placed in any position, but in actual use is intended to dangle from a mast or flag staff.The Morse telegraph alphabet, as almost everybody knows, is composed of two characters; the dot and the dash, in other words a small dot and a straight line or dash.All the letters and numbers are composed by forming combinations of these two characters.For example, a dot preceding a dash is \u201cA.\u201d and a dash followed by three dots is \u201cB.\u201d\" Returning to the light shaft, and reading from top to bottom, suppose that two of the incandescent lights at the top are illuminated, and then a dozen more further down are turned on at the sume time, You will see as a result a small spot of light and a straight line of light, or according to Morse, a dot and a dash.It will be readily meen that all required to write any letter or word is to throw on the current il- luminuating the lights in different forms and combinations, To do this quickly, is one of the nice points of the machine.An instrument resembling a type writing machine connects each letter and character in the alphabet with a combination of lights corresponding with it upon the light shaft.To do this 5,000 wires are necessary, but they are held together so closely by a cable that they .only occupy a space of 12 inches.he operator simply writes upon the key board of the sending apparatus, and the letters hestrikes stand out in electric fire from the otherwise dark surface of the shaft.A 32 candle power can be distinguished at a distance of 10 miles or more.This light can be produced by a small dynamo worked by a naphtha lamp, when the Telephotos is in use on shore.On shipboard that is hardly necessary, as all vessels now-a-days have an electric light machine.À test has already proved successful between this city and Point Abine.The Telephotus has bcen patened by Mr.Boughton in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Austria.Shattering One of Youth's Idols.As far back as 1607 doubt was cast on the story of Tell.The Swiss naturally defended the existence of the hero, and in 1760, when a pamphlet waa published undertaking to prove his mythical character, it was burned publicly by order of the government of the canton of Uri, and many \u2018\u2018proofs\u201d were produced in favor of the existence of the famous patriot.In 1835 the historian Kopp cast further doubt on Tell's existence, and only as recently as 1567 and 1877 has it been proved finally that he was a mythical character ; that \u2018\u2018a mythological marksman and an impossible bailiff bearing the name of a real family have been joined with confused and distorted ' reminiscences of the events of 1245.47 (the confederation of the cantons against Austria) in which the names of man real persons have been introduced, an many unauthenticated acts attributed to them.\u201d The story of the archer who shoots a small object from another person\u2019s head is widespread; in Denmark it has aimost precisely the form of the Tell legend, and it exists in Norway, fceland, on the Rhine, and even in England, where William of Cloudesley, one of Robin Hood's companions, is the hero.\u2014Pittaburg Dispatch.Wonderful Things in Heredity.It isa fact well established by students of heredity that children are apt to inherit not only the physical, mental and moral traits of their parents, but to be influenced by their age as well, Children born of very young fathers and mothers never attain so vigorous a growth of mind or body as those of older men and women, while children of old people are born old.One of the most surprising cases in medical history is that of Marguerite Cribsowna, whe died in 1763, aged 108 years.When 94 she was married to a man aged 105, Three children came of this union, but they had gray hair, no teeth, were stooped, yellow and wrinkled, d screpif in movement, and could eat only bre and vegetables.\u2014New York Sun.Urging n Canal System for Europe.The president of the Vienna Corn Exchange, in a recent speech, said that ain growing in Europe had ceased to fo remunerative owing to the development of now cultural regions and te the lowering of railroad rates, only chance lie could seo for the European farmer was in the construction of a network of canals in central Europe, Chenp water transportation would help the European farmer against the come petition of the United States, India and Australia, Huzley's Tribute to Tonnyenn: GIB DIESEN TODTEN MIR NERATUSI® (The Minster speaks.)

as, for example, in regard to the aurora borealis, in which they claim that the waving shafts of light are the spirits of the dead Eskimos engaged in kicking phantom walrus skulls across the heavens in a spiritual football.It is curious that these far northern eople, both in South and North Green- and, have the same idea of a future stute as the American Indians, founded, doubtless, on the same character of their struggle for animal existence.Like the Indian, the Eskimos believe the spirits of their deceased friends and relatives go to a great place of hunting; but instead of to a vast prairie over which buffalo and deer range in vast herds, as held by the former, the \u2018\u2018\u2019huskie\u201d spirit hies him to a broad sea in which are countless seals, walrus and Polar bears, and in the shores of which are tuctu, or reindeer, in quality beyond extermination.Besides these legends, the Peary party came across one in the north regardin creation, wbich should afford special food for thought for the anthropologists.According to this legend the first wan fashioned was white, and while not exactly pebluctu, or crazy, his mental balance wns of such a low order and his manners and ways 80 objectionable that his creator was disgusted with his first attempt, and made another, which gave satisfaction in every way.This other and perfect specimen of manhood was an Eskimo.If the belief of some anthropologists that the Eskimos are the remains of the cave dwellers of the stono age, this legend is remarkable as perhaps being the possible origin of sitnilar legends of other nations.If, on the other hand, as seems more reasonable, from their color, facial outlines, and peculiar shape and set of their oyes, that this strange people are of mongolian origin, the story is still remarkable as having been retained through all their wanderings from Asia through America to their present ice- Lound home, the tale losing only the intermediate race creations \u2014Wm.E.Neehan, in Independent.How to Cure a Cold.The following is the advice given by a prominent doctor for getting rid of a cold: When the first symptoms manifest themselves is the time for action and this should consist of a hot mustard foot bath before going to bed and a hot draught of milk.The covering of the body should be linen and wool, the former in the way of the sheet and the latter in the blanket.No attempt to get up an active sweating should be made.The foot bath and.the warm drink will give a sense of warmth and and facilitate the natural excretion of Materials which should pass away by the skin, and any effort to aggravate this will be not \u2018only superfluous but harmful.The blanket should never be worn next to the night robe, and should not be so thick as to confine the air next to the body.It is, indeed, often advisable to lighten the covering of the feet, and to preserve a certain amount of weight over the loins, and to have the shoulders protected from the external surroundings in general.The last measure is not to be underrated.A sensl- tive lang carries with it susceptibility to take toitself everything that could possibly affect it to its detriment.Lung diseases belong to sensitive persons, and may or may not be the sequence of a cold.The majority of them, however, can be traced to imprudence in dress and exposure.Pneumonia, pleurisy and consumption are partners of carelessness in the dressing of the chest and back, and \u201ccolds,\u201d which wight stop at the throat by a little prudence, are their apprentices.If you have unconsciously contracted a cold and want to get relief from it, you must, in the first place, avoid too much medication.A properly clnd skin and a clear digestion ought to shorten the life of the \u2018\u2018cold.\u201d Ifa little comfort can be secured by wearing a light covering on the head during indoor hours, it should be respected.Ventilation of apartments comes in for a slight amount of attention, and it should be simply sufficient to furnish fresh air and not to produce currents which can be appreciated.Nothing is more fallacious than the belief that health is promoted and life prolonged by air in excess, and this is proved by tombstones.There are a few good remedies which appeal to us as matters of tradition.Our frandpatents used them with effect, and we might follow their example without injury.One of thes 18 sassafras tea, another is boneset tea and anuther is senna tea.Each has its office, and each is of value in its uliar line, and at tho same time is rmless.The Rat\u2019s Tail.Daubray, the comcdiam, whom fickle Paris still Jeploren vas an odd sort of man in man ings;
