Tale Illustrating the Value OF Truth
| fuinsss in the Long Ran.
James and John were playmates and {
each twelve years old, says the Detroit
Free Press. Their parents dwelt side
by side, and so the two boys were much
together. They "played horse" with
the same hoe-handle, liked the same
brand Of pumpkin pie, and were pretty
nearly one in all things. The one great
exception was the fact that James would
lie like candidate for alderman, while
John would tell the truth II IL barked
bis shins. James often guyed him for
lthis fooiishness, but to no effect. He
kept right on telling the truth and get
ting three lickings to any other boys
one.
One day when these two boys were
going over to Mrs. Scott's to borrow her
quilting frames and drawing Of tea
they met stranger, who looked at them
intently, and finally asked:
Boys, did you find purse Of gold on
the roadT'
"No. thir." promptly replied James
the liar.
"Yith. thir," rs promptly replied
John the truthful, at the same time
handing IL out.
They had found such o purse, but,
being little absent-m inded, had for
gotten to mention the fact.
"Ah, hal" cried the stranger, "but I
dropped II to test you'll The proof Is
cleari Observation-Disclosures
And great black cat leapcd out Of
thicket and bore the liar away for cat
meat, while the stranger took from his
pocket . golden rule and handed 1t to
John with the remark:
snow run along, sonny, and every
thing you touch shall turn to gold. Re-
member that. while the liar may pros
per and grow fat for a time, the truth
full hyena will come out on top in the
long rum"
While this is also true story, have
concealed the true names Of the princi-
pal characters In II, but they can be had
by sending your address with stamp to

NEAin 5000 persons now nnd employ
mcnt in the Edison electric works at
Schenectady, and this comp any is so ex-
tending its plant that many more will
soon be employed. In tho new powcr
station now being built will DO located
monster dynamoa, which will furnish
electricity for the many motors which
arc to supplant the steam engines now In
use.
In tho country, at tho chateaus in
France. ladies arc wearing little II any
classical jowolry-that is, ornaments Of
hitherto well-known styles. Only fancy
ornaments are tolerated, and two pink
pearls studded into the ears, or mounted
singly with two small brilliants, are tho
most fashionable aural ornaments Of tho
season.
EVIDENTLY tho days Of big nuggets in
Australia are not yet over. by the last
mails from Perth comes tho statement
that "1vo mon arrived from Shaw Falls,
Nuliaginc "a Western Australian gold
field, bringing with them 400 ounces Of
gold and a big nugget weighing $50
ounces o pennyweights." 1t is described
AZ "a very passive and -bandsome-nug-
got"
I'IE Berlin flrc department has lately
received novel nro-cngine which has
excited much interest In that city. The
carriage Is constructed entirely OF pa
picr.mscho, all the different parts, tho
body, wheels, poles and the rest being
finished In the best possible manner.
While the durability and powers OF re-
sistance possessed by this material are
fully as great as those Of wood the
weight is OF course much less. This
lightncss is considered great advan-
tage, as 1t will enable the now engines
to roach tho scene OF fro with CORE
spondingly greater promptncss. Itseems
not unlikely that the wooden carriages
will in short timo pass out OF use alto
gether.
