PROMISES OF SCIENCE.
How the Earth Is Gradually Eeins Use'
 Up by Mankind.

| How the Earth Is Gradually Eeing Used Up by Mankind.
 Every body knows that the world is wearing out-that the time is coming when we will have no coal to burn in our grates. and no iron to make our grates of, even had we the coal. A close record of the output of the oil field discovers the fact that the petroleum reservoirs are running d y and investors have not the faith in the | inexhaustible flow of natural gas that ! the sellers of wells could wish. We know that precious meta are dug out in less quantities than formerly; that the diamond market, in spite of Kim berly, is cornering itself; that mahOg- any and pine will some day be things of the past, like the buffalo-robe and dodo. We are confronted with the fact that the guano deposits will not last forever, that there is a human limit to the production of electricity and that our children several times re- moved will have neither quinine. chloroform nor anillne dyes.
 Of course this general exhaustion of old earth's treasure house is some time ahead of us. It will not happen in our day nor in the next centu y. We can go on burning the candle at both ends for few hundred years be- fore humanity has to adjust itself to the newer or more economical con- ditions. But, despite the fact that the time of stress is so far ahead of Is that we can look on to it jokingly, it is pleasant to learn that science is getting ready for the rainy day. We are on the eve of a new age and on the threshold of new civilization Aluminium, according to nature, is making ready to take the place of steel, and it will be cheaper, lighter, stronger and a thousand fold more plentiful and cheap.
 Heat and food, according to science, we are to gather from the sea in proper fish culture and wise electrical work. The economist brightly be- lieves that we will solve the labor problem before the middle of the twentieth century, and solve it to the satisfaction of both parties. Chicago News.

USES OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
The Art Employed to Flake Dry Of.icis:
 Reports Entertaining,

 The Art Employed to sIaise Dry oficia
 Reports Entertaining
 Official reports of land surveys and explorations are not very populal reading, and in some countries the aid of illustrations is called in to make them more attractive. The Canadiau Department of the Inte for expects hereafter to illustrate the reports of scientific men who are still studying the great northern portion of the con- tinent. The processes Of making photographs and reproducing them in printers ink have been so cheap ened and improved that it is found they can be introduced in Government reports without largely enhancing the cost.
 Since dry plates came into use in photography with various processes of utilizing photographs to illustrate printed pages, the survey departments of every European Government has established photographic offices. We have finely equipped illustrative de- partments in connection with the Coast and Lake Surveys, the Hydro graphic Office and the Geological Survey In those offices the views taken by explorers are developed and multiplied, trees, plants. fossils and ether specimens are photographed, the wonders revealed by the micro scope are caught for general inspec- tion, and thus facilities for illustra- ton have not only been greatly in- creased, but the cost of pictorial aids to study has been largely lessened
 It is found, for instance, that the quickest and cheapest way to enlarge or reduce maps and plans is by means of photography. and g. great many maps are now cheapiy produced for general circulation by photo-litho- graphic processes.
 With all the new methods of pict- ure making it is considered mex cusable nowadays to issue 8 book o! explorations that is not prOfuseiy illustrated It will be interesting to examine the next reports of the Cana dian Survey, whose illustrations, we are told in the report of the Interior Department, expected mot only 10 make the reading matter attractive but also to impart much additional value to the information given.

Thought They Were Bewitched.

At the village of Reinberg, in Aus tria, recently a very religious family became possessed with the idea that they had been bewitched by an od crone iii the village, aud the man, with his three daughter and sons and a young girl who was in the house at the time, locked themselves in and began to pray and sing. They remained with out food or link for several days and fired at neighbors who attempted to come near the house. They threat ened to kill the girl when she wanted to go away, Their cattle were left to starve in the barn. At last the neigh bors secured warrants against them as insane, and force of asylum off, cers, assisted by the peasants. .stormed the place, captured it and took the family prisoners after a hard fight. One doctor neck was grazed by bull let, but there were no other casual ties. The girl was released and the others incaroerated in an asylum. N. '. Sun.

CLASS DISTINCTIONS.
Absurd Notions Prevailing Among the
 American People.

Absurd Notions Prevailing Among tho
 American People.
 It is not only in 'effete monarchies" that foolish distinction is made be- tween those who are, socially speak ing, ladies and gentlemen, and others who. by no fault of their own, can scarcely aspire to such titles of homo. It is a deplorable fact that great deal of absurdity in regard to class distinctions is especially rampant in America.
 So afraid are we that we shall not all be considered ''equal' as we'll as :'free," that we do ridiculous amount of standing on our own dignity, and in sisting upon the use of certain terms. The chief trouble seems to lie in the fact that, thus far, We have not adopted tho true definition of the words ''gentleman" and "lady." Both terms, indeed, have been subject to interpretations as odd as that of the young girl who said of a certain public official:
 ''Oh, yes. I know he is very dis sipated. but then. he's perfect gentle man!'
 .'Why were you gone so long, Bridget?' inquired lady of servant who had been sent to do an errand.
 Well, mum" was the answer, ''me and the lady in the store fell into a dis pute. Says I: The apples ye sent up yisterday was all wormy' says l. No sich thing says she. You're a cheat says l, and 'Ye lie,' says she :"
 Truly, an extraordinary remark for lady to make, and yet the 'Iady'' in question would doubtless consider her self insulted were she to be classified otherwise.
 It is true that classes always will eX- ist, but the more gracious nature re- members that only moral or intellect ual excellence should give one man higher standing than another. A lady once spoke of tlfs ''lower classes" at dinner-party, and was reproved by Macready, the actor.
 ''Will you let me correct that ex- pression?" asked he. Il always like to think of our less fortunate fellow creatures as the poorer, rather than the lower, classes"
 Poverty does, indeed, bring its own temptations and vices, but so, also, d. riches. and no human being can, il exact justice, be classified according to his outward circumstances. Iti well, also, 10 remember that as some body once said: "A man Is never les digpifed than when standing on his dignity. Youths Ccmpanion.

An unceremonious introduction.

An amusing incident occurred lately in a Baltimore street car. Several quite well-known ladies, meeting on their way to or from the shopping quarter of the city, were talking in rather a loud mannor about preachers and their wives. They finally came to speak of the wife of prominent pas tor of one of he Methodist churches. All kinds of things were said-some truthful, others the boldest imagina- tions. All said they had never seen the lady; but they had heard she was a blonde, and all said they would like to see her. All in the car enjoyed the talk; none more so than the lady talked about, who happened to be sit sing opposite them. When she ar- rived at her destination she pulled the bell to stop the car; and, having a sense of the ludicrous, went to the gossipers and said: Ladies, you have expressed desire to see me. Here l am. Let ne give you piece of ad- 5ice. When next you gossip in a 5treet-car don't do it in such loud manner; it may be heard by some one Eho will not enjoy it as have. Good lay" The gossipcrs showed great
 stonishment and chagrin. while the
 ther passengers laughed immoderate- at the proceedings. IN. Y. Inde- pendent

A CELEBRATED POEM.
Composed for One Little Boy, It
 Been Reeited by Thousands.

Been Reeited by Thousands. David Everett was distant relat of the late Edward Everett He born in Princeton. Mass, in 176e. the yiHter previous to entering Ia mouth College. in 1791, when a tea tn the grammar school at Ipswici prepared tais little poem to be req an exhibition gotten up in the a emy style. composed expressly ,Ephraim IL Farrar. to be spoken him on the occasion, when only Sc years of age:
 You'd scarce ex- ect one of my age To speak in pubic on the stage; And if chance io fall below
 Denosfhenes or Cicero,
 Don'tFiew me with critics eye, But pass my Impe-fections by;
 Large streams from little fountains flow; Tall oaks from little acorns grow; And though now am small and young, Ofjudgment weak and feeble tongue, Yet all great learned men, like me, Once learned to read their DC. But why may not Columbias so Re IT men as great as Br taius isle- Exceed what Greece and Rom have don O. any land beneath the sun?
 Aayu't Massachusetts boast as great As any other sister State!
 Or Eheres the town, go far and near, That does not find a rival here?
 Or where the boy but three feet high Who's made improvement more than I? These thoughts inspire my youthful mln3 To be the greatest of mankind; Great, not Ike Caesar, stained With blood But olSy great as am good. Farrar was writing master in IS in the elementry school of LawsC Lyon, located on the north side of D. Channingss church in Boston. wher. sons of the most distinguished fam lies were educated. Master FarraI we are. told, was remarkable for mild and even temper and his benign ant light stroke of the rattan was {; striking contrast to the severe blow of the button-wood ferrule so vigorous ly applied by Master Lyon, the terro. of the school. Master Farrar was th' son of Rev. Stephen Farrar, the frs minister of Ipswich, graduated a Harvard College, in 1783. He "a born December s, 1755; marriec Phoebe Parker in 1925 (widow of Jona C. Champney); his wife died in 184s and he died in New Ipswich, Januar5 8, 1851. There is also another little poem, written by Rev. Dr. T. NJ. Har- ris, of Dorchester, Mass, for Edwarl Everett when very small boy, which is as follows:
 Pray how cen I, little lad,
 h speaking make fgureH
 You're only joking, I'm afra.d;
 Do va tiil am bigger.
 But since you wish to hear my part,
 And urge me to begin it,
 I'll SIT ye for praise with all my art
 Though small my hopes 10 w.n 1t.
 I'll tell tale, how farmer John
 Alttle roan colt bred, sir;
 And every night and every morn
 He watered and he fed, sir.
 Says neighbor Joe to farmer John:
 "Aren't you a silly dolt, sir,
 To spend such toll and cost upon
 A little useless colt sirS"
 Says farmer John to neighbor Joe:
 "I bring my little roan up
 Not for the good he can do now,
 But will do when he's grown up."
 The moral you may all descry.
 To keep the tale from spelling,
 The little colt you think is r.
 Iknow it by your smiling
 And now, dear friends, at lay request,
 Excuse my lisps and stammers;
 for this once have done my bes'.
 And now-Tll make my manners.

WORK HOUSE WOMEN STRIKE.
Prisoners in the Covington Jail Refuse
to Do Their Duties.

A Covington, Ky, special to the Philadelphia
Inquirer says: There is serious trouble at the
city work house. A few weeks ago the men
went on a strike and for two days held the au-
thorities at bay. Monday the thirty women in
the institution struck, refusing to do any more
work. The guards ordered the women into the
dungeons. but they huddled into a corner and
declared that only force would make them
move. When the guards undertook to put the
women into the cells they fought like tigers,
scratching the officers furiousy. At last the
hose was turned on them and they retreated
Once in their cells they resorted to ribald
songs, abuse of all sorts, oaths and obscenity.
They were kept in all night, getting only bread
and water. This morning all refused to come
out Some had stripped themselves of all
clothing and even destroyed parts of it. Up to
o'clock at night they remained defiant and
were again locked in. They say they want less
work and better food and declare they will not
return to work until their demands are ac-
coded to. The authorities are puzzled what to
do

To Prevent Left-Handedness.

From the Philadelphia Press.
II baby is inclined to hold things in his left
hand instead of his right, each time you see
him do so change the spoon or toy over to the
right hand. II, however, you find that he has
become decidedly left-handed without your
knowing it and insists on holding things in
that hand take soft handkerchief and bind ii
up. He will thus be compelled SO use the right
one and in little while will outgrow the de-
sire to use the left. We have Just come across
the following, which may be Of interest to
mothers. 1t strikes Us that il may be the true
solution OF many cases of left-handedness DR..
Feltz. In L'Art Medical, relates the following as
possible explanation Of the occurrence of left
handedness. In family composed of five per-
sons, the father and mother were
right-handed, as was also the eldest son.
who had been cared for in his infancy by a
nurse. The second child had been nursed by
the mother and was left-handed. The third
child, also nursed by the mother, was. at the
age Of one year, evidently left-handed. never
grasping any object with its right hand. DR..
Feltz noticed that the mother always carried
the child on her left arm. and upon being ques-
toned, said that il had always been her Gus
tom to carry her children ON this arm. The doc
tor advised her to hold the child on her right
arm. She did 50; the child soon began to use
its right hand The doctor explained that
when the nurse carried the child ON her left
arm the left arm of the infant il the one which is
