For cleansing goods Of heavy grade,
For washing down the walls or stairs,
The bureau, tables and the chairs;
But folks do well to change their mind

And not alone the kitchen maid
And laundress prize its friendly aid;

Electricity for Warfare.

Remarkable progress has recently
been made in this country in the appii-

been done at the government torpedo
station, where long and elaborate ex>
perimental course has been carried ou..
The electric light. especially, Is coming
to play a most important part in mod
eIn warfare, and American ;nvestipa-
tors in this field, many of whom have
contributed so materially TO its present
state ot development, will be interested
in the report Of some experiments which
took place in the Solen.. Eogland, last
week. AS a better means of defending
the roadstead an electric search light
has recently been erected oD the Spit.
Hurst castle. opposite the Needless pas
sage. and SIX gun boats, with several
torpedo craft, tried, under cover of
night, to effect an entrance from the

The attempt was failure, as each yes

when miles off, and the guns were all
ready when they came within range
To m Ike matters worse for The attack

A Monarch OF the Air.

upon cne of the little chicks rose into

state of squsking terror. The hawk, to
show its fearlessness, flew with great
delioeration toward a big oak, with the
ryident intention of devouring its prey
upon the stalwsrt branches. A dark
speck came out of the tree. and with
many a dart ard curve rose high in the
air.
The hawk recognized il as the king

OF filling him with fear, and making
swerve from his course and halt in his
masterfuI flight. He showed his fear
by increasiD Dg his speed and turning
about as though to retreat, The king
bird pursued his upward flight until he

great to bear, and so he folded bis pow

was not yet weary, and he swiftly fol-

mon. The old hen had been an inter

sne saw the hawk descend she spread
ont her wings and flew heavily toward
him to fight him away from her young.
But the hawk was too wary TO permit
q o reach him, and before he had dropped
within the rsnge of her power Of flight
he spread ous ais wings again and shot
upward.
The chicken which he still held in his

irifle, and he dropped it when near the
earth and devoted all his attention to
rIdding himself of the little tornentor

the king bird ceased his attack. The

Physiological Reasons for Sunday Rest.

The question of Sunday work has, of
course, mora! side, and it is that side
which most strongly Influences many
who are striving to lessen the evil.
Psychologists are universally agIsed
men need, for purely physiological rea-
There is plenty of evidence upon this
question, ali pointing in the same d.
rection, and the conclusion is inevitable
that the almost universal desire of
workmen for rest on Sunday and their
strong objection TO working continu-
ously every day is the result OF a natur-
al physiological law. which, like all
other laws Of the kind, cannot be vio-
lated without some one having 10 suffer
the penalty.
There Is a good reason for believing
that many railroad accidents are direct
ly Irsceable To ply sical and mental exs
haustion of traInmen, caused by the
strain OF severe and exscting duties,
performed without relaxation for a
pariod of time beyond that which is al
lowed by nature. And in the case Of
street railway employees, who are re-
quired 20 work from twelve to sixteen
hours every day. Sunday included, il is
probable that society suffers, and will
suffer. a large share of the penalty.
FoI the presence in the community OF q
considerable body of men to whom civil
ization means almost. if not quite Moth
ing. upon whom society has imposed
burdens almost intolerable and Infinite
ly heavier than are imposed by nature
as a condition of living-we say that
the presence of a body of men living
under such conditions is a menace and
a danger to republican institutions.

ton enticed flock of turkeys into a
lonely place in the woods by scattering
corn on the ground. This operation
was performed several days IN suces-.

place for :heir daily breakfast He then
laid for them, ard one day fred into
the flock, killing eighteen outright AT
one shot. The nineteenth escaped with
broken wing. His neighbors feasted
on turkey for a week.
