NO. INSTANTANEOUS PHOTOGRAPH.
These pictures produce rich and important
material for the study of motion, but Mr..
Anschuetz succeeded in making his expert
ments more valuable by obtaining whole
series of pictures giving the different phases
of motion He made it his object to get of
one period of motion, for instance, of the
step of walking man, as many views as
possible in equal intervals of time, and he
succeeded admirably. He was able in this
manner to observe even the fastest motion,
for instance, the hurdle jump of racing
horse which occupies only seventy-two one
hundredths of second, and in this short
time made twenty-four pictures of the differ
emit positions in equal intervals.
From dozen instantaneous photographs
showing the different phases of position as
sumed by an athlete in throwing javelin
taken by Mr.. Anschuetz and reproduced in
Science), two cuts are here given, one repre-
senting the position at the instant before the
javelin leaves the athletes hand, the other
the instant after.

Nutritive Value of Boiled Milk.

The sterilization of milk, which has been
attracting attention of late, appears to be a
process not without its disadvantages From
q course of very carefully conducted expert
ments, DR.. E. V. Vasilieff, of ST. Petersburg,
deduces the conclusion that as regards its
nutritiousness. boiled milk represents de-
cidedly inferior dietetic article compared

A Soul Above Blankets,

Il should be sorry to thwart your zeal,
Brother Billings" said Deacon Campton
"but | am constrained to tell you that
members of the congregation have COM
planned that your calculations in meeting
are somewhat too vociferous and frequent.
We expect some brothers from the city to
lead US tomorrow evening, and we will
take it kindly if you-if you-can put a
little restraint upon your fervor."
And so you ask poor brother to cork
up all the grace that's in him." replied
Brother Billings, much aggrieved. What
sort of religion do you call that?'
Pray don't think of it in that way,
BROTHER" said the deacon, soothingly.
I'VE merely desire to give the brothers
from the city every opportunity to express
themselves without interruption And,
by the way, Brother Billings, have been
thinking that pair of new blankets from
our store would be very acceptable to you
this cold season. Come in for them day
after tomorrow"
At the meeting the following evening,
the corked-in feelings of Brother Billings
had many times impelled him to bob
up suddenly, but each time he had caught
Deacon Campton's warning eye and
bobbed down again. But as the city
brothers waxed eloquent, his motions be-
came more and more spasmodic, when
his mouth opened, it shut again with
less txedness of purpose, and finally he
jumped upon his feet, clasped his hands
above his head, and, in voice that pene-
trated every ear, exclaimed, @Blankets
Or no blankets, praise the Lord r'

Didn't Like the Judge.

August Uthoff was released from the
County Jail yesterday.
Uthoff is an Elkhorn saloon-keeper who
was arrested recently, charged with sell
ing liquor on the Sabbath. He was taken
before Justice at Elkhorn for trial, and
straightway moved for change of venue.
whats that?' the Court asked.
"We don't want to be tried by you,"
Uthoff's attorney responded.
The Judge looked at him in astonish-
ment. Uthoff's attorney expected fine
for contempt of Court, but he escaped
that.
"Fd like to know why not?" the Court
remarked, warmly.
"Well, we have an affidavit here to the
effect that we feel that We cannot secure a
fair and impartial trial. You're preju-
diced"
"You're liar"
'You're unfriendly to u.s."
you're an Internal, no account, worth
less liar. You and your client ought both
to be In jail"
'We want to go before another Court,
anyway"
The Justice rose up and roared:
You make me tired" he cried. .Do
you think this Court is going to have you
paving all over the country like Dogknees
looking for man with lantern to suit
your pleasure? Think the law is thing
to be tried on like suit of clothes? You
sit down there and give your evidence"
Uthoff's attorney complied, and the re-
suit was his client was fined 800 and was
sent to Jail. But the attorney appeared
before the District Courf recifad tho faots
and the saloon man was ordered out.
Yesterday morning Sheriff Boyd released
him, and he went back to Elkhorn with
the promise burning on his lips that there
is one resident in his precinct whom he
proposes to make very hard to CATCH

If the wealthy people who have the
time to do kind deeds do not do them, who
will? The busy, hard-working woman
has the desire, but not the time; the over
worked mother of family, whose income
is small, has the desire but not the
strength; there is left, then, to do the
small deeds of kindness and charity, the
idle daughters of the millionaire. Their
money gives them leisure, and their leisure
should inspire them to help those who are
less well provided with this worlds goods
than themselves That it does so inspire
very many of them We know very we'll.

or the SUNDAY UNION.
AT TWO MONTHS OLD.

Little dark-eyed cherub, with the sunny smile,
sunbeam sent from heaven here our hearts to
vile,
Like the infant Moses a-foating on the Nile;
She has collie just the same.
Cheeks so round and rosy, and dimpled chin
Fattest little legs and arms with wrinkles in,
Just the sight of them alone our hearts would
win;
But that dreadful collie bothers us.
Fairy-like her fingers are, and oh her toes,
Set upon her feet in two cute rows
How she kicks EN- half so fast the goodness
knows;
1t must be she has the collie.
You should hear her try to talk-it sounds so
sweet
Telling little tories that are not complete,
something disagrees with her, it must be what
she eat,
And that would give her the collie.

Comfort for Homely Girls.

"How did that homely woman contriye
to get married ?" is not infrequently re-
marked of some good domestic creature
whom her husband regards as the apple of
his eye, and in whose plain face he see
something better than beauty.
Pretty girls who are vain Of their charms
are rather prone to make observations of
this kind; and consciousness of the fact
that flowers of loveliness are often left to
pine on the stem, while the weeds of
homeliness go off readily, is, no doubt, in
many cases. at the bottom of the sneering
question.
The truth is that most men prefer home
illness aad amiability to beauty and ca
price. Handsome women are sometimes
very hard to please. They are apt to
overvalue themselves, and, in waiting for
an immense bid, are occasionally "left on
the market" The plain sisters, on the
contrary, generally lay themselves out to
produce an agreeable impression, aud in
most instances succeed. They don't
aspire to capture paragons with princely
fortunes, but are willing to take anything
respectable and Noteworthy that Proyi-
dence may throw in their way.
The rock ahead of your naughty Junos
ana coquetush Hebes is fastidiousness.
They reject and reject until nobody cares
to WOO them. Men don't like to be snubbed
nor to be trified with-a lesson that thou
sands of pretty women learn too late Mrs.
Hannah More, very excellent and pious
person, who knew whereof she wrote, rec
ommends every unmarried sister to close
with the offer of the first good sensible
lover who falls in her way. But ladies
whose mirrors, aided by the glamour of
vanity, assure them they were born for
conquest, pay no heed to this sort Of ad-
vice.
1t is a noteworthy fact that homeIy girls
generally get better husbands than fall to
the lot of their fairer sisters. Men who
are caught merely by pretty face and
figure do not, as rule, amount to much.
The practical, useful, thoughtful portion of
mankind is wisely content with unpre-
tending excellence-Ne,o York LEDGER.

Having kept diary since 1853, and
record of the extreme hot and cold
weather in this part of the country,

winter we have had since 1851, and the

never experienced such winter before.
The hottest days since 1850 were in
july 1851, and in the months of May
and July, 1865, when the mercury reg
istered 1919 in the shade. The high
est temperature since 1861 was 06o in
the shade, which has been registered
on several occasions, but not since

s, 1862, when the thermometer registered
SO below zero.
"The coolest winter since 1850 was
the one of 1912, when we had thirty
five days that the thermometer stood
below zero. The coldest period on
record was in January, 1866, when the
mercury went below zero at p. m. on
the 4th, and continued thus for 112
consecutive hours. The heaviest snow
storm was the blizzard of March 10,
