The Sin of Lying.

The emperor Of Russia, when upon a
tour of inspection in the provinces,
passed the night in the simple hut of the
toll taker. Before retiring he was
pleased, as the head of the church, to
see the old man take up his Bible and
read a chapter "Do you read often,
my SOM" he asked, eyes, your males
ty, every day" GLOW much of the
Bible have you read, my SOM" Dur
ing the past year the Old Testament and
part Of Matthew, your majesty"
Thinking to reward him, the car
placed 500 rubles between the leaves of
the Book of Mark on the following morn
ing, unknown to the toll keeper, whom
he babe farewell. Several months
passed away and the emperor returned,
upon q second tour, to the toll takers
hut. Taking the Bible in his hands he
was surprised to find the 500 rubles in
tact Again interrogating the toll keep
er as to his diligence in reading he re-
ceived an affirmative answer and the
statement that he had finished the chap
tiers of Luke.
Lying, my son, IS a great sin, re-
piled his majesty; "give me the Bible
till see" Opening the book he pointed
to the money, which the man had not
seen. Thou hast not sought the king
dom of God, my son. As punishment,
thou shalt also lose thy earthly reward"
And he placed the rubles in his pocket,
to distribute afterward among theneigh-
boring poor.-London Standard.

Danger in CeIiuIoid,

Umbrella and cane handles, collars,
cuffs, and scores of other articles of con-
venience, utility and even elegance,
manufactured from celluloid, are in daily
use by large numbers Of the people
The question is asked, MAY they be
safely used?" Celluloid is made from
gun cotton, the powerful and violent ex-
plosive compound. Gun cotton is made
by saturating absorbent paper with a
mixture of two parts of nitric acid and
five parts of sulphuric acid. The cellu-
lose Of the paper, derived from the eel
lular tissue of the cotton in common use,
is changed by the combination and be-
comes gun cotton. To make celluloid,
the excess of acid is washed out by the
free use Of water, and by pressure care
fully applied. After the removal of all
uncombined acid, it is reduced to q ho-
mogeneous pulpy mass, strained until it
becomes nearly dry, and is then mixed
with about ene-third of its weight of
gum camphor.
These materials are mixed as uniform
" as possible by careful manipulation
with wooden Instruments, and then by
grinding. The pulp which is turned out
by grinding is spread out and reduced to
slabs of various thiclznesses and rolled
between steam heated rollers, and then
becomes moderately elastic in strips of
medium thickness. In this form it is
worked up into the various articles
which are offered for sale and use. Al
though gun cotton is easily manufact-
ured, its manufacture for experiment or
for general use is not recommended; and,
although celluloid articles may be safely
used with ordinary care, bonfire of
such articles for amusement is not rec
commended. No injuries from such use
have been reported. a word to the wise,
however, sutliees.-American Analyst

Dimercnco in Eggs.

In form and general aspect the dlfter-
ence among birds eggs is endless. Some
are elongated, some are spherical, some
are dull on the surface, some are polished.
some are dark and others gray or white,
others very bright. The shape of eggs
offers as much diversity as their size and
weight. They may be thrown, however,
into six different or typical forms-the
cylindrical, tho oval, the spherical, the
ovicular, oviconical and the elliptic. The
ovicular form Of eggs belongs to the Pas
serp and Galliacn, the ovoid to the "a
pacious birds and the Palmipedes, the
conical to the wading birds and some
Palmipedes, the short to some game and
many stilted birds and the spherical to
nocturnal birds of prey and the kingfisher.
If a. farmer has flock of 100 hens they
produce in egg shells about 1877 pounds of
chalk annually; and yet not pound of
the substance, or perhaps not even an
ounce, exists around the farm house
within the circuit of their feeding
grounds. The materials of their manu-
facture are found in the food consumed
and in the sand, pebble stones, brick
dust. bits of bones, ETC., which hens and
other birds are continually picking from
the earth. The instinct is keen for these
apparently innutritious and refractory
substances, and they are devoured with
as eager a relish as the cereal grains or
insects. If hens are confined to barns OF
outbuildings it is obvious that the egg
producing machinery cannot be kept
long in action unless tho materials for
the shell are supplied in ample album

The 1904 Dollar.

"Thero IS something curious about the
American silver dollar and half dol
lar of 1884," said a numismatist. "There
were about &c, 900 of the dollars coined,
but not one of them ever got into circu-
lation. Two of them are in well known
coin collections today, however, and
they are the most valuable of all Amer
lean coins. Why the dollar of 1904 was
never seen in circulation after leaving
the mint is one of the unsolved govern
ment mysteries. 1t is asserted on good
authority that the two 1904 dollars now
in existence, while having been made
from the original die, were in reality
not coined for many years after that
year, when they were surreptitiously
struck, and, it is supposed, issued to a
person high in authority, from whom
they subsequently passed into the collecs
tons referred to. The half dollar of
1904 is surrounded by a mystery equally
profound. There were over 10000 of
these coined, but not one of these were
ever known to be in circulation. On the
other hand, but 700 quarter dollars were
coined in that year, and specimens of
these are in every collection and numis-
matist's shop."-Philadelphia Press.

African Railroads.

According to a Brussels telegram, the
construction of the line of railway from
Metazi to Stanley Pool will require four
wears, and will cost one million sterling.
The whole undertaking is in the hands
of Belgian company, under the patron
age of the government. The length of
the line will be about 800 miles, and
will extend from the western coast to
the very heart of Africa. 1t is expected
that the opening = such an important
railway will ultimately be the most
beneficial and powerful means of civil
cation in Africa, and put a practical
check to the slave trade.-Once a Week.

thrashing ali round and tllis he used to
do so effectually that no boy was found
bold enough to dispute his authority.
The boy was particularly fond of geogra-
ply and arithmetic, and seemed never 50
happy as when, pointer in hand, he was
allowed to ramble at his own sweet will
over the face Of the map. He seenledt to
his fellow pupils to have the latitude and
longitude of each place at his fingers
ends. He was also a good penman, and
on this account was often selected by the
porter to enter the names of visitors in
book kept for that purpose, and at times
he was even invited into the clerks Of
fee to help with the accounts.
.sT. l.. L. w" says that having search
ed the books at the workhouse in order
to find if there are any traces of Stanley
there, he discovered among the entries
the name Of John Rowlands some eight
times The first entry is that of his adj
mission to the house, which took place
on Feb. 90, 1871. He is entered as be-
longing to the parish of Denbigh, and as
having been born in 1641 this date, by
the way, tallies exactly with DR.. Pierce's
account). His name next occurs in the
lists of inmates for the years 1926.
Previous to this no list of names for
each year was made out; only the names
of those who were admitted on discharg-
ed during the year We're registered. The
last entry is dated May IS, 1856, and is
the time when he finally left the work
house. He is there reported to have
''gone to his uncle at the national school,
Holywell" Other books, such as the re
porter's report book and the clerks ac-
count books, may throw additional light
upon the early days of Stanley.-Pall

The Sign of Modern France.

1t is needless to relate the oft told tale
of the capture of the Bastile. Suffice it
to say that it was sufficient notice to the
monarchs of Europe that the old regime
was at an end. The common people had
captured a strong fortress. The regular
soldiers had refused to fire on the com
mon people. Two momentous facts.
They proved to all thinking men that
the old feudal regime was gone forever,
The common people Of France realized
it thoroughly the middle classes only
partially dhis was situation in which
only those who suffer can realize, the
priests and nobility not at all, and many
lost their heads without gaining the
knowledge. But the fall of the Bastile
was indeed the sign of modern France.
Tie French do well to celebrate it every
where.--J. II. Beadlc.

Yesterday five of the crew of the
bark Jas. A. King were arrested on
warrant charging them with refus-
ing duty. They lay in the cells all
night and at the opening Of the
Police Court their case was con-
tnued till 80 p. M. At that hour
they were brought up, but, nobody
appearing against them, they were
discharged. One Of them on leav-
ing the dock asked Deputy Marshal
Creighton If they could speak with
the Judge. The Deputy asked what
they wanted to say, and the man
said:
eve were arrested yesterday for
refusing duty, when we refused no
duty, and now the ship has gone to
sea, leaving us here and one Of the
crew at the point of death in the
hospital"
Mr.. Creighton referred the men
to the owners of the bark, and they
left. They were waiting for Mr..
Wilder at his office when this paper
went to press.
