Teaching by Example.

Yes, brother, you should teach your
child obedience; teach him that your
will and word is law, and instil into his
mind that profound reverence for law
which every citizen should feel. And
if you will just keep on lying little to
the assessor about the value of your
property in order to evade certain tax
laws, and violate the law about riding
on the platform every time you ride on
street car, and defy the ordinance
respecting the ash-barrels and snow on
your sidewalk every time you have the
opportunity, and keep on breaking
every municipal and State law that it
isn't convenient for you to obey, the
boys reverence for the law will grow
deeper every year, until it will be so
deep that he can't reach down to it
when he wants to use it. The way to
teach boy obedience is to be just as
disobedient as you can be. just sit
down now and think; try to count up
how many State laws and municipal
ordinances you violated yesterday.
Then call your children around you
and tell them if they ever disobey you
in the slightest particular you'll break
every back in the camp.-Burdette, in
Chicago journal.

BEADING FOR THE YOUNG.
MERITED HONORS.

OF course you are proud that your fathers were
good;
TITS pleasure to know they were great
In the field, on the bench, or In science of art
Or as leaders in matters of state.
But we all should remember our ancestors
fame
Is not for their children to wear;
TO the fame of the great man the family name
Is the only legitimate heir.
The fame that is yours is the fame you have
won;
II you've not won ityet, look ahead.
But don't claim an honor because you're the
son
OF ancestors centuries dead.
OF proud ones who lived on the fame Of their
Examples in plenty are found;
Like the turnip and parsnip, they seem not to
That the best of them lies underground.
Look ahead to the future-the past is not yours
For your prize trust the future alone.
The fame OF the past is another's reward; g.
Make the yield of the present your own.
Inherited titles OF honor are vain
In the heat Of Fame's handicap chase
The plain man looks forward, the noble looks
back,
And oftentimes loses the race.
Look forward, toll onward; and when in the
Well-merlted honors you've won,
Be proud that your claim to the prize did not
lie
In being Somebody's son.

Left Him in Doubt.

When the shower came up yesterday
certain pedestrian whose jaw showed
great determination took refuge in a
doorway on Monroe avenue. He allow
ed numbers of pedestrians with um-
brellas to pass him, but pretty soon the
right sort of man came along and he
stepped boldly out, extended his arm,
and said:
''Ah! you thief, but I've run you down
at last! Give me my property
"Bes-ah-yes! stammered the other,
as he surrendered it.
The man with the prominent jaw
walked up the avenue as if nothing
had happened, while the other skipped
for the vacated doorway.

witnessed the performance.

ELECTRICAL WELDING.
The Two Processes Now in Use in Europe
as Well as America.

The Two Processes Now in Use in Europe
as Well as America.
Among the various uses to which
electricity has been applied, the weld
ing of metals is one of the latest. Two
distinct processes are now in use-that OF
Prof. Elihu Thomson, and that of M.
Bernados. In Thomson's method a
very heavy current is sent between the
metals to be joined (Which is held firm
ly against one another), heating the
junction until it is to welding heat:
The junction is, of course, the point of
greatest resistance, and therefore the
heat is mainly concentrated there. The
currents are obtained from the second
ary of an induetion-coil supplied with
alternating currents; this secondary is
of very low resistance, and is secured
to the pieces to be welded by massive
clamps. 1t will be seen that this
method is especially applicable to the
Welding of tubes, rods, wires, etc. The
process of M. Bernados is very differ
ent. In it the heat of the electric arc
is used, the junction to be welded being
made one of the poles. Current is OBJ
tanned from accumulators especially
built to resist the i'll effects of a heavy
discharge rate, and the arc is directed
to the proper place by rod Of carbon
held in the hand in suitable holder.
The method of operation consists in
placing the pieces to be welded on
heavy iron slab, which serves the double
purpose of supporting and carrying the
current to the plate, meeting the edges
OF the pieces, then putting the scraps
Of iron (if iron is to be welded) on the
junction, and melting the whole to-
gether. For welding steel or wrought
iron, mixture of sand and lime is used
as a fux; when copper is one of the
metals used, borax is employed. Mr..
Ryyes, who has investigated the pro-
cess, and has lately read paper upon
it before the Society of Telegraph
Engineers and Electricians, states that
in nearly every case the metal was bad
" burnt and spoiled by the excessive
heat. M. Bernados has also lately
made number of experiments on the
working of various metals and the pro-
duction of alloys in electrical furnaces.
As far as welding goes, it is very proba-
BILE that the electric arc can be regu-
lated to give the required heat without
burning the metal. Of the two weld
ing processes, that OF Prof. Thomson is
surer and more easily controlled; that
of M. Bernados is more widely appli-

LAMM'S EXPLOSIVE.
A New Substance Which is Far More Pow
erful Than Dynamite.

erfui Than Dynamite.
"Bellite," the new explosive which
has beeen invented by M. Lamm, of
Stockholm, seems destined to knock
dynamite, and perhaps melinite, out Of
the field. A select party of scientific
men and journalists went down to the
Argenteuil quarries for the purpose Of
witnessing some experiments with the
new explosive, which were made for the
first time in France, under the superin-
tendence of M. Lamm himself. The
party included General Fredericks, of
the Russian Embassy, and was chaper-
oned by M. Herlitz. A tremendous
lump of rock was drilled, and the ''bell-
ite" being put in the hole was caused to
explode by contact with Illuminating
mercury. The explosion was not loud,
nor did the debris fly dangerously into
the air, as is the case with blasting by
dynamite. On the contrary, the rock
gave way in huge flakes. Experiments
were then made to show the safety Of
the explosive as compared with the
matter used by the "Invincibles.
"Bellite'' was placed ON an iron rail
and was struck with sledge-hammer,
when it merely became heated, but did
not explode. A small cartouche of the
material was placed on a strong iron
rail and ignited. It reduced the rail
into fragments, some of which few into
perilous proximity to persons who were
placidly looking on from what they con-
sidered a safe distance. A shell was
next filled with ''bellite," and blew a
wooden-raftered hut to pieces. The
new explosive is evidently efficient for
blasting purposes, and its inventor
hopes to be able to demonstrate its
availability for military use likewise.
"Bellite'' is composed of about four
parts of nitrate of ammonium and one
part of mixture of binito and trinitro-
benzine with saltpetre. 1t smells like
pitch, and is made up into capsules
which look like thick wax candles, and
are covered with glazed paper. The
stuff itself resembles sulphur in appear

ORATORiCAL LAURELS.

TnsersoIl's Advice to Young Men Whs
May BE in Search of Them.
If young man imagines that he has
an aptitude for public speaking-that
is, if he has great desire to make his
ideas known to the world-the proba'
bility is that the desire will choose the
way, time and place for him to make
the effort. If he really has something
to say there will be plenty to listen. II
he is 80 carried away with his subject,
is so in earnest that he becomes an in
strumentality of his thought-so that he
is forgotten by himself; so that he cares
neither for applause nor censure-sim-
ply caring to present his thoughts in
the highest and best and most compre-
hensive way, the probability is that he
will be an orator. Otherwise, no.
think oratory is something that can
/ not be taught Undoubtedly a man can
learn to be a fair talker. He can, by
practice, learn to present his ideas con-
secutively, clearly and in what you may
call 'form;" but there is as much diff
ference between this and an oration as
there is between a skeleton and a living
human being clad in sensitive, throb-
bing flesh.
There are millions of fskeleton-makers,
millions of people who can express
what may be called "the bones" of
discourse, but not one in a million who
can clothe these bones.
You can no more teach man to be
an orator than you can teach him to be
an artist or a poet of the first class.
When you teach him there is the same
difference between the man who is
taught and the man who is what he is
by virtue of natural aptitude that
there is between a pump and spring
between canal and river-betWeen
April rain and water-works. 1t is a
question of capacity and feeling-not
of education.
There are some things that you can
tell an orator not to do. For instance,
he should never drink water while
talking, because the interest is broken,
and for the moment he loses control OF
his audience. He should never look at
his watch, for the same reason. He
should never talk about himself. He
should never deal in personalities. He
should never tell long stories, and if he
tells any story he should never say that
it is a true story and that he knew the
parties. This makes it a question of
veracity instead of question of art.
He should never clog his discourse with
details. He should never dwell upon
particulars-he should touch univer-
sails, because the great truths are for all
time.
If he wants to know something, if he
wishes to feel something, let him read
Let him listen to the
music of Wagner, of Beethoven, or
Schubert. If he wishes to express him
self in the highest and most perfect |
form, let him become familiar with the
great paintings of the world-with the |
great statues-all these will lend grace,
will give movement and passion and |
rhythm to his words.
A great orator puts into his speech |
5he perfume, the feeling, the intensity
of all the great and beautiful and
marvellous things that be has seen and
heard and felt. An orator must be a
poet, metaphysician, logician-and,
above all, must have sympathy with all.

NOT IN THE MARKET.
Two Inquisitive Scribbler's Discover the
Queerest Man in Dakota.

Queerest Man in Dakota.
The Eastern papers had been circu
lating the report that nearly every
farm in Dakota was plastered with {
mortgage and that all of them were fol
sale. Chip and | were determined tc
break this report if we had to visit
every quarter section in the Territory
in order to find the exception. We
had Travelled tifty-seven days in this
pursuit, and our iron determination
was fast turning into lead, when we
rode up to large building with small
farm that evidently belonged to it.
A man sat On the fence whiting q
| stick.
"We are collecting few items, -
said Chip, as he drew out his note
book. 81 suppose this farm raises the
usual 90 bushels of wheat to the acre?
corn, 1926? 'taters, 600 and -
"Holda on!'' cried the man, staring
at him with a strange look in his eye
s'Yer'n have ter revise them fggers a
bit. Set the wheat at 10 bushels per
acre; corn at 25; and taters at 5O.n
"Wh-what?" stammered Chip, as
his notebook and pencil dropped to
the ground. "Say it again, friend, kind
O. slow. Mebbe my pard can catch on
to the racket"
The man repeated his statements.
AS soon as Chip could rally he went
on:
',Ye'll excuse the question, but, con-
ferdenshally, the amount of mortgage
on this ere farm is-''
''Nary cent" came promptly from
the man.
Again Chip was about to collapse,
but he reused himself for the final
question:
'And the price?'
'Not for sale"
l raised Chip from the ground and
propped him against post. just then
man came running from the house
with a pair of handouts, and took the
man from the fence. We had struck
the lunatic asylum and had been talk
my Will dn escaped lunatlC.
This poor fellow once owned a small
farm which he would neither mortgage
nor SELL explained the overseer.
''People focked to see him from all
parts of the territory, and 'twasn't
long before we had to bring him here.
He imagines that he owns this place,
and still clings to his old IDEAS
''But, pard, we've struck a place that
amt fer sale, anyhow cried Chip, re-
covering the use of a tongue that seldom
failed him.
"Well, don't know bout that" said
the man. "We've had this asylum here
for several years, and now our neigh.
boring town wants it for awhile. They
offer a lot and new buildings Free It
is probable that this place will be in
the market in few days, if it is not al
ready"
Chip was getting nervous. He ex-
planned our mission to the overseer,
whose keen eyes, meanwhile, wandered |
constantly from one of us to the other.
Suddenly a change of his features
showed that his doubts had settled into |
conviction.
At the same instance strange suspic-
ions flashed into our minds. We |
leaped to our horses and set off at full |
speed.
We gave up the search. Our labor
had been in vain. But we were thankful
to know that we had escaped the insane
asylum. And when we came to reflect |
on the matter, it gave us no small
pleasure to be able to indorse one item

A "Nawful Lie."

One bitter hot day Trip and Tiny sal
under the great maple tree in the yard
Tiny, who couldn't sew, was tending
her dolly, and Trip, who could, was
making it a dress.
They saw old Mr.. Wells coming very
slowly up the road. When he reached
the shade of their tree, he stopped and
took off his hat to cool his head.
Little gal," he said, s'if you'll get
me drink of water, I'll thank YOU a

Trip laid down her sewing and went
for the water, while Tiny looked at
him with very round eyes. How very
funny it would be to hear him say 81
thank you'' thousand times! How it
must make his tongue ache! Who was
going to keep countP Would he get
all through before dinnerP Ali these
thoughts were running in her little
curly head.
Trip came out with pitcher of wa
ter and glass. Mr.. Wells drank two
glasses and said: 81 thank you" very
heartily; then he put on his hat and
won't along. Tiny was disappointed.
Mamma, she said, following Trip
when she carried in the pitcher and
glass, "Mr. Wells just told Trip a

Perfect equality in matrimony
was the belief of late resident of Ja-
maica, L. I. AS he married a young
woman with means of her own, he
charged her one-half of the family liv-
ing expenses. If he contributed to the
church or the improvement of the vii
lage, just one-half of that sum did he
transfer from his wife's account to his
own. He reduced the system to such
fineness that when he gave his wife a
shawl in remembrance of the anniver-
sary OF their marriage, her bank ac-
count suffered to exactly one-half Of
the price of the shawl.
