Ahnse Of Word.

There is no term which smore abused
than the word practical" It is made
tomean anything and everything, and
those who are the most rabid in insistfng
upon it that theirs is the only orthodox
and correct definition are the ones who
abuse it the most and lower it most eff
fectually. They narrowit down until his
the synonym of imperfecticn and incom-
pleteness; until it represents crude, blum
dering rule-of-thumb methods. To ac-
cept the most frequently given definition
of the word, it would be applied TO the
rude methods of navigation Of five CEN
turies ago instead Of to the superior and
successful systems of today.
The tentative coast navigation of the
Ph9nicians would be called practical,
and the scientific, systematic, everyday
plan adopted by the ocean racers and
the ocean beasts of burden, which run
in a set course and leave and arrive by a
predetermined time table, would be
deemed theoretical" How many sins

Finger Prints as a Means Of Identification.
Francis Gallon has placed before the
ROYAL Society of England some very
remarkable facts bearing on the use Of
finger prints as a means of personal
identification The person who is TO
make his mark places his fingers on an
mixed pad and then impresses them on
a piece Of paper. The result is a print
Of the papillary ridges on the bulbs on
the fingers, and it appears that every
Individual lRs a pattern which is as
distinctive as his features. The sub
Jet has been pursued for some fifteen
years or so. and it has been proved
that the same pattern persists in the
case of children, adults and old people.
There seems good reason TO believe
that during an entire lifetime the same
character Of design remains, although
of course it changes in size and possibly
in shape. The reticulation, howeve-,
remains constant, and can be identified
without doubt. A method of indexing
these finger prints has been devised by
classifying and numbering the various
patterns, so that TO each finger on a
hand there a be assigned at a glance
a number which expresses its charac
teristics. The combined numbers of 6
hand represent the individuality of its
owner, and enables a previous print to

present views of its u~nalterability
should be confirmed, it would have
many advantages over the existing style

There is a white haired old Friend

rOwed face. He is a wonderfully be

fore he developed into the most incor
rightly michievous little ''darkey" that
ever came out of slavery.
Pleadings. lectures and seedlings had
no more effect on him than the whist

good birch switch would hold him in
check for an hour or two. but his ref

Stag. One day the Quaker went on q
railway journey and took the little cor
ored lad with him. On the road was
a long tunnel, and before they reached

a reformation in the black bundle Of
mischief beside him. So he said;

TWO SONGS.

The sun Is gone from the valleys.
The air breathe fresh and chill:
On the barn roof yellow with lichen.
A robin il singing shrill
Like a tawny leaf Is his bosom.
Like a dead leaf is his wing;
He is glad Oft coming winter
As the thrush is glad Of the spring.
The sound OF a shepherds piping
Comes down from a distant fold
Lik the ripple Of running water,
As tuneiess and sweet and cold
The W. songs mingle together;
Like and unlike are they.
For one sounds tired and plaiutive.
And one ring proud and gay.
They take no thought OF their music.
The bird and the shepherd lad.
But the bird voice thrills with rapture.
And the human note Is sad.
