What beautiful thing is the unques-
tioning faith of childhood. A Western
minister tells a story of child who asked
her teacher: Miss Mary, the Bible says
that he that believeth hath everlasting life,
doesn't it?" ''Yes." "You believe, don't
your" eyes" "Then you will have ever
lasting life?" 81 hope So" 'Oh, thought
it was sure enough thing" The teacher,
it is said, went home that day with some
thing to think about.
About year ago little Pittsburg boy
foretold the date of his own death, the date
of his cousins death, and left word that
his brother and sister and his uncle would
so give up the ghost. He himself died on
time; the cousin has just died, as per an
nouncemert, and now the brother, sister
and uncle are awaiting the dread sum
mons. The boys strange prophecy, so
strangely fulfilled, is exciting much COM
ment where it is known.
The Rev. Mr.. Talmage, of Brooklyn, in a
late lecture in Nashville, Tennessee, said:
''This was the grandest country, the
grandest age, the grandest period of the
worlds history. The South was better
than ever before. Since his last visit the
greatest improvement had been made IL
the South. The Chattahoochee would one
day rival the Merrimac, and young men
would live to see more spindles in the
South than in New England"
Lord Monboddo maintained that we had
tails, only our modesty prevented US ex-
hibiting them. DIR. Zabornsksi draws at
tention to two conscripts, resident in Par
is, having appsndages of that kind one
inch and two and a half inches long re-
spectively, but devoid of the power to be
whisked like a squirrels or a cats. He
states the fact as abnormal, malforma-
| ton, and states nineteen similar cases are
known. The missing link is in view.
A Chicago paper urges upon the preach
ers of that city to devote a portion of their
time in the pulpit to urging upon their
congregations the necessity of a change
of the city government. Things must be
desperate when they get to pass like this.
This suggestion is the initiative to union
of church and state" 1t is hardly likely
the pastors of the beautiful and clearly
Garden City" will incontinently plunge
their pulpits into ''the dirty pool" of city
politics.
A dog owned in Portland, Me-, has quite
fancy for travelling. When the freak
takes hirl, he goes aboard the Boston boat
and makes quiet trip to the Hub. When
the boat reaches that city he disappears in
the crowd, but never fails to retur1kand
make the homeward trip at night. No one
knows where he spends the day after leav
ing the boat, nor how he manages to keep
posted on the boats departure, which is
two hours earlier in winter than in summer,
but he never gets left.
NJ. Cornu thinks that he has ascertained
by experiment that the glowing of phos-
phorus is due to a volatization of it's mass
and a subsequent production of ozone by
electrical energy generated by the volatiza-
ton of the phosphorus. Phosphorus does
not glow at all in oxygen under high press
ure, because, says N. Cornu, volatization is
impeded, and at a certain limit becomes
too slow to ozonize the oxygen. Gases
which prevent the formation of oxygen also
prevent phosphorescence.
kentucky farmer announced Just be-
fore his death that he had saved and hid
den seven jugs of gold for his seven chill
dren, each jug containing $1,000. He, at
the last moment, attempted to tell where
the money was to be found, but expired
before he could impart the information.
Since that time vigorous search has been
maintained, but so far only two of the
jugs, each one containing the specified
amount of money, have been found-one
in the smoke house, the other in the stable.
1t is not often that man digs his own
grave and buriss himself, but John Tyler,
an old grave-digger of Fayetteville, N. c.,
did it one day last week. He was engaged
in his gloomy work, and had reached dis
lance of over seven feet. It is supposed
that he stopped down when the side of the
excavation caved in and fell upon him. He
able to move after falling on his face.
When he was discovered the earth and
rocks covered him to depth of three feet,
nd life had been extinct for some hours.
News of a most extraordinary series of
tragedies comes from Hungary. A man,
in fit of anger, struck and killed his
daughter, girl of tender years. The
mother, who had been in an adjoining
room engaged in bathing her babe, rushed
the assistance of the dead girl, and in
her absence the babe fell into the bath and
was drowned. When the mother found her
youngest dead she fastened from the house
and hung herself to tree, and the hus-
band, finding himself the sole survivor of
the family, Immediately shot himself
through the head.
Keely, of motor fame, is busy construct
ing large engine wherewith to demon
