A Punching Club.

A lady who has organized Sunday
school classes of London street boys tells
of the organization of singular club.
She says: "The inherited love of drink
ran in the veins of many of my scholars
and they showed evident signs that they
were prepared to tread in the footsteps
Of their parents Several were drunk
regularly on pay day, and often besides;
and when came back to London after
my summer and autumn absence, and re-
assembled the class, one extra candid boy
volunteered that they had been pretty
nearly ali the worse for drink at Christ
mas. To counteract this tendency,
started a temperance society, and though
they broke their pledges sadly, especially
at first, it has gained ground and done
good. I also established savings bank,
hoping that they would learn to value
the feeling of possessing a few shillings,
instead of being absolutely penniless.
Another institution of a rather curious
nature was set on foot by mutual agree
ment among themselves, in imitation Of
one that flourished in Bloomsbury II
went by the name of the Punching Club,
and aimed at checking the horrible Ian

toughest from ever using bad word in

submit to receive punch from each
member who might hear him. l believe
+ this penance had a marvellous effect on
the vocabulary of the street. By degrees
it fell into allegiance, and marked in,
crease of bad language was the result; but
quite lately it has been established,
entirely by the boys own wish, in mod
fled form, the punch being exchanged
for half-penny fine."

Kind Treatment Rene mbered,

During the the war Major E. A. Burke
of New Orleans was in command of de-
tachment that captured part of the
Sixth Massachusetts, Regiment. He
treated the prisoners as kindly as the cir.
cumstances would permit, and parted
from many of them with expressions of
courtesy and regret. Years passed, and
he heard not word from any of them,
at the time of the great flood in southern
Louisiana Major Burke, as Chairman of
the Relief Committee, received one day a
despatch from Boston authorizing him to
draw at sight for 100000 This was one
of the earliest responses to the cry that
had gone up for help, and it touched
and encouraged the Major. Two hours
later came another despatch from Boston
authorizing the committee to draw for
another $4,000, and in few hours a
third despatch donating another SIC, 900.
With these dispatches, or in some way to
connect the statement with them, came
the flash from Boston "The Sixth Massa-
chusetts remembers the kindness of Major
Burke. Inter Ocean.

Origin of the Steel Pen.

This now indispensable article was
slowly perfected, land like most inven-
tions thus perfected its merits were not
at once acknowledged. When, in 1910,
it first made its appearance in England it
was piece of sheet steel bent in tubu-
lar form, and cut or filed away to initiate
the shape of quill pen, the junction of
the two edges forming the nib, which, of
course extended all up the back of tho
pen. 1t was given away as present, and
not for use. 1t was highly polished, per-
haps gilt or silvered, and sold for as much
as shillihgs.
In 1924 Mr.. James Perry, the founder
of system of education once famous as
the 'Perryan" system, took up the steel
pen as a practical invention, and by in
domitable energy overcame the difficult
ties in its construction and the objections
to its use. He patented several varieties,
and spared no expense to attain perfeo-
tion. His brother informed Mr.. Samuel
Timmins, of Birmingham, England, that
he paid Z shillings per pound for his
steel, and 5 shillings per pen to the first
workmen he employed, and that for years
afterward the price given to his work
men was SO shillings per gross.-Louis-

Twenty years have passed since Prussia,
arming herself with the needle gun,
marched against Austria, and overthrew
her on the battlefield Now, all the
nations of Europe, as if by a common in
stinct, are seeking to supply themselves
with more formidable weapon than the
single breechloader, namely, the maga-
zine or repeating rifle. Switzerland and
Sweden some time ago furnished their
troops with magazine guns. Within the
last few weeks the British Admiralty has
decided to distribute 5000 Spencer-Lce
magazine arms to the navy for expert
ment France has gone still further in
ordering the issue of a hundred Robin
rifles to each infantry battalion. These
rifles are a modification of the Gras pat
tern, and contain in cylinder eight cart
ridges, which are moved into the barrel
bya spring as needed. The Kropatschek
repeater is already used in the French
marine, as well as elsewhere. The
Austro- Hungarian infantry is to be armed,
at least in part, it is said, with the Mann
licher magazine rifle, unless some other
shall be found more effective On all
sides the tendency is toward magazine
guns; and while various practical objec-
tions to particular rifles come up, the
ultimate triumph of the magazine arms
the New York Sun asserts, seems clear

PRICE THREE CENTS.
Sodom and GomOrrah.

Two cities there stood in the midst of the
plain,
And great was their glory and wide was their
reign;
But sin was the path that their populace trod,
And down on their heads fell the vengeance
of God.
Ah little they thought, as they lowered in
their pride,
OF the wrath and the ruin so soon to betide
All, little they dreamed, as the red morning
cast
Its beams DER their temples, that day was
their last,
The heavens were darkened, and forth from
them came
flame,
And the towers of their might and the halls
of their mirth
We're utterly swept from the face of the
Garth.
The prince with his wine and the slave with
his crust,
All, all who dwelt in them-those mansions
of lust
From revels aroused and from slumbers
awoke,
To crumble TO ashes, to melt into smoke
Oh, dreadful the doom Of the cities of sin.
| The noon saw no trace that their Splendor had
been!
For none but the good shall inherit the earth,
The wicked shall weep DER the day OF their
birth.

The Batavia On. ", Farmers Club,
some members of which have been
mulcted by the patent right claimants,
has petitioned Congress to amend the
patent laws so as to free farmers who are
innocent purchasers from liability for
claims for alleged infringements Of
patents in using machines which they
have bought from the manufacturers of
them, and without any knowledge of,
OF reason to believe in, any such infringe
ment. The following is copy of the
petition: ''The undersigned, citizens OF
New York, respectfully represent thai
under the patent laws of the United
States the public are outraged and
swindled by claimants of royalty upon
machinery in general use. The price of
a patented article is enhanced by the
patent, which the purchaser pays, and he
should be protected in its use. He does
not and can not know whether its manu-
facture infringes upon other patents, and
he is swindled and justice is outraged
when he is forced to paya royalty upon
machinery so purchased, and we ask Con-
gress to amend the patent laws so as to
make the manufacturer alone liable fol-
royalties and Infringement of patents.
The New York Times says that the claim
for relief certainly seems just to the
farmers, who beyond doubt suffer seri.
ously thorough these unexpected claims.

Reawakened Memory.

Two years ago young man living IN
Vermont village, having finished his
academical education, was ready to en-
ter college. But just before the day ap- |
pointed for his examination he was taken
ill. After several weeks of suffering he
slowly recovered his health, but discov-
cred that his mind had lost the knowl-
edge acquired by six years of hard study.
Latin, Greek, and mathematics, all were
gone, and his mind was blank in re-
poets to his preparatory studies. His
doctor prescribed that he should rest his
mind and famiiarize himself with few
simple details of light work. He obeycd
the advice, and found in his old habit Of
doing things carefully the schoolmaster
that brought back his old knowledge.
Before his illness the young man, in or
der to earn a little money, had taken
care of the village church, sweeping it
out, cleaning the lamps and doing all the
work, of sexton. He now resumed this
work and by the physicians advice tried
to keep his mind from puzzling itself
about its loss of memory. Several weeks
went by without bringing any change in
his mental condition.
One Sunday evening stranger entered
the church, and, as the sermon was a
dull one gazed carelessly around until
his attention was attracted by the lamps
on the wall He noticed that all the
wicks were so carefully trimmed that
there was not an irregular flame to bo
seen. He wondered as to who could be
the careful sexton, and, happening to be
in the place the following Sunday, he
again noticed the same uniform trimming
of the wicks.
Passing the church the next day and
seeing the door open, he walked quietly
in and saw the sexton sweeping out the
central aisle. Looking closely at tho
young man, the stranger said: 'Do yoy
do all the work about the churchl"
eyes, sir"
''Do you trim the lamps2"
eyes, sir"
"Why do you trim them in such a pc.
culiar wayl"
81 don't know what you mean"
"Why, the flames are alike"
ooh, but they ought to be. You
would not have them uneven, would
you?"
"No,' answered the stranger, with 1
smile, "but it speaks well for your care
fulness. Why, I should think one Of
the flames would fit all the Others exact
ly if it were superimposed on them"
"Superimposcd2 Isn't that word used
in geometry9"
Certainly. If polygons, having equal
sides and angles"
Before the stranger could finish his
sentence the student threw down his
broom, rushed frantically out of the
church, ran across the street and into the
house, where he astonished his mother
by exclaiming, in tones of triumph:
''Mothcr, know that the square of the
hypothenuse of right angle triangle is
equal to the sum of the squares of the
other two sidcs!"
In a moment his school knowledge hao
come back to him, flashed into his mind
by the mention of the superimposed fig
ures.--Philadelphia Call.

Bicycling on a Frozen Canal.

and got along famously for half mile.
Then my wheel began to slip and Imade
no headway. Noticing that the rubber
tire was encrusted with the fine particles
