A Young Girl Wants the Prodi
gal Son to Have a Rest,

The minister had preached an ex-
cellent sermon on text taken from
the parable of "The Prodigal Son."
and as a relaxation he permitted the
prettiest girl in the church to walk
home with him. Everybody at the
church door had praised the sermon.
and the minister thought his fairest
parlShloner would certainly burn
little incense in his honor. He talked
about the weather at frst-for even
clergymen are not above such polite
subterfuges. Then he paused to al
low his companion to turn the con-
versation in his direction. But she
said nothing. So he broke the ice
with; "And how did my sermon
please you?"
"Oh! it was very good no doubt"
she replied, "from mans stand.
point The prodigal son is always re-
turning, and the fatted calf is contin.
nually being killed. But l think it is
time that something was said and
done for the prodlgal daughter. If a
girl falls into evil company and
squanders her substance in riotous
living, there is no prospect of well
come and forgiveness if she returns
nome. She is condemned without
mercy by her own sex, and woe be-
tlde her if she leans for support upon
the other The next time you want
topic for stirring sermon think of
daughter"

A position Finder. /.

Maj. Watkins position finder" by
which the guns of battery or ship Of
war are concentrated by single expert
upon definite object with the touch of
a button in his remote place of observa-
ton, is making great progress. It will
abolish much, if not all, of the interest
in artillery practice. The gunners will
have only to load, and then to take their
directions as to elevation and training
from dial. They will generally be ig-
norant as to what they are firing at. and
will probably have no knowledge wheth-
er or not their firing is effective. All
their business will be to load, to watch
the dial and to fire. If there is much
smoke, SO as to obscure their view, that
will be so much the better, for it will
conceal them from the enemy, while the
position finder directs them from his
place, which may be clear from such OBJ
security. Exchange.

With all their democratic theories and

When Samuel Z. Pomeroy, afterward
Senator Pomeroy, was on his way from
Massachusetts to settle in Kansas, his
travelling companion, man familiar
with western customs, said to him:
"Pomeroy, a man on the frontier is no
body without handle to his name. You
must certainly have one of some kind or
other.
Mr.. Pomeroy declared that he was not
entitled to any, but his friend persisted:
'YOu were once member Of the Mas
sachusetts general court, weren't your
Yes"
"Well. that will answer perfectly"
The new conner was accordingly intro
duced AZ Gen. Pomeroy,' and as long
as he lived he was known by that title.

then a stone is spoiled in the polishing;

then stone il spoiled in the polishing;
sometimes one is found that cannot be
made to shape itself into the fifty-eigh.
facets. The wheel on which the stones
are polished is a soft iron disk lined with
innumerable curved rays running from
center to circumference. This is sprinkled
with diamond dust and sweet oil. The
moment scratch appears on the wheel
the diamond must be removed to some
other part Of the surface.
The finished stone comes from the
wheel covered with gummy oil, but ten
minute bath in sulphuric acid leaves the
surface clean and brilliant. Diamond
pendant from pearly ears or shining on
snowy Threats never look SO beautiful a.
they look unset and heaped together
upon oiled paper at the diamond cutters.
Nothing is wasted at the diamond cut
ter's. Boort, which is the name given k
diamond clippings that cannot be pol
ished, is placed in steel mortar exactly
like an old fashioned churn and brayed
into powder for the polisher. Not single
carat is lost, for the mortar is dust proof
and the pestle fits SO close that the parti.
cles cannot rise from the bottom.
Sometimes stones are injured in the
setting. Perhaps an accidental blow
breaks a brittle corner, perhaps too much
heat clouds the surface. Diamonds thus
injured. however, may be repaired. As
a matter of fact, the diamond is almost
indestructible. 1t loses nothing by long
wearing and acids cannot fnjure it. The
prevalent idea that soap and water dim
the uster of the diamond is a mistake

Human Origin Of Morality.

IT would arncar, from the codes Of
people for whom no divine revelation
is claimed by us, that man by lis un-
aided efforts has como to tic knowl-
edge Of tho best principles and prac-
tees of morality, has not only made
admirable rules OF conduct, but has
perceived that tho essence Of goodness
lies IN the character Of tho soul. Ii
this be SO, it is unnecessary to suppose
Il supernatural divine revelation 10 nc
count for the ethical phenomena Of so
cicty. 1t might be said, indeed, that
all this ethical development proceeds
from 4 primitive divine revelation.
But this statement rests on no histOri
cal proof, nor would it explain the
Tact that tho ethical progress of ma
ton goes hand in hand with its
growth III civilization II tic ancient
Hebrews received their ethical code di-
rectly from God whence comes it that
manners were mildcr in Ezra's timo
than in the pro-cxilian prophetic pc
riod, less mild in The days of David,
and comparatively rude III tho period
Of the juagcsl 1t would be singular if
the generations which stood nearest
tho revelation were lcast affected by
it. Professor c. H. Toy in Popular

ThoY All Lost It.

faco which shaded Off to something
like philanthropy about tho edges,
stood ut the junction yesterday gazing
abstlactcdly down the street. Sudden
Is he stepped up to y gentleman who
was awaiting II cable train and, touch
ing him lightly on the shoulder, said:
Excuse INC, but did you just drol, n
twenty dollar gold piccca" at tho same
time holding out III his hand Il coin Of
tho denomination mentioned.
Tho gentleman questioned looked q
moment ut the coin, assumed a look
OF excitement, mado hasty search Of
his pockets, and said: "NVhy, so did
and l hadn't missed it," holding out
an cager hand
The old man slowly drew note
book and said 81 thought So" Tic
then took the name and address Of tho
loser and, dropping tho coin in his
pocket, turned away.
"Wcll," said tho other, do you

''N1oooh Frigl,tonel."

The experience Of the fire marshal
with the Polish Jews who have piled
their trade in Boston has ofton been
quito amusing Tho Boston Courier
says that their first refuge when being
examined is to feigil an ignorance sd
any language III which they may be
addressed, and The Courier illustrates
it by telling the following story:
One man brought his wife to tho
Office in answer to tho summons Of tho
marshal, but assured the officer that
sho could not speak English, nor yot
Polish nor Hebrew.
Being forced to own that size did
speak something, she admitted with
reluctance that sho knew little Cor
man, and in this tongue tho marshal
