Great E~Xpectations.

Mother-My daughter, you should de-
eide III favor of one of your admirers or
you may lose both.
Daughter-Pa, l can't make up my
mind which to accept, Henry or George.

Henry has seventy-five dollars a

Then l don't see why you hesitate.
Accept Henry, of course, and tell George

Yes, but George has great pros

"Humbug! Prospects don't count.
Everybody has got great prospects, and
twenty-five dollars a month is very
handsome interest on such a capital as

Why Boiled Water Freezes Easily.

Water which is hot of course cannot
freeze until it has parted with it's heat;
but water that has been boiled will,
other things being equal, freeze one
than water which has not been boiled.
a slight disturbance of water disposes
it to freeze more rapidly, and this is the
cause which accelerates the freezing of
boiled water. The water that has been
boiled has lost the air naturally con-
tanned in it, which on exposure to the
atmosphere it begins again to attract
and absorb. During this process of alb
sorption a motion is necessarily pro-
duced among it's particles, slight GER
tainly and imperceptible, yet probably
sufficient to accelerate its c~ongelatiOn.
In unboiled water this disturbance does
not exist; indeed water when kept per-
fectly still can be reduced several de-
grees below the freezing point without
its becoming ce.-BrOOklyn Eagle.

A Horse at Home in the Tree Tops

n HOESO at AAouAO IN bhO AICC apps
We have been told of many ludicrous
scenes and incidents growing out of the
great flood of June 4, and ambitious 1e-
porters have busted clouds and mill
dams. and almost ruined their magma
tons in their frantic endeavors to gain
notoriety and fame in reportorial jour
nalism, but the incident we are about to
relate is true and told without hope of
reward. On the Sunday following the
food, after the waters had subsidized, l..
B. Preston. of Tryonville, discovered
that he was minus two horses, and Of
course search was instituted for the lost.
Near the village is a large wild grape
vine that winds affectionately around n
tree Of good proportions with quite a
large spreading top, the vine, as is fire.
quently the case, forming a sort of net
work among the branches; and there,
over ten feet from the ground, in the
protecting embraces Of the tree top and
vine was found one of the lost horses
alive and safe. The animal was rescued
from his lofty quarters, and is now no.
torious as a hero and food relic. If any
one can tell a bigger story and speak the
truth, let him now take the floor or else
forever after hold his tongue.-Centre-

a Strange Bird in the Pigeons Nest

Harry Francis, a boy Of thirteen
years. living on Pratt street, had a Leg
horn hens egg given him. which he put
in charge Of two male pigeons. The
birds sat upon the egg until within two
days of the time for it to hatch, when
they deserted it. The boy placed it
under another pigeon which was already
sitting on two eggs, and Sunday a little
brown chick burst its shell.
The foster parent fed the little stran-
ger pigeon fashion, which method seemed
to puzzle the chicken, making it anus
ing to watch them. The newcomers
language appears to be a mystery to the
pigeons, but they treat the little fellow
well.-PrOvidence Journal.

work of the ChrIstian Endearor soeleties.

Work of the Christian Endeavors Societies.
Those who say there is nothing new
under the sun would be sorely put
TO it to find the counterpart of the Young
Peoples Societies of Christian Endeavor.
When, before this year of grace, has the
earth thrilled TO the tread of 100000
young people bound together with a
single pledge-to do what? Pedal a BIZ
cycle or swing a tennis racquet? No; to
read the Bible and pray every day, to
take part regularly in prayer meeting,
support their own churches and engage
in active Christian enterprises. There's
a new aspect of young America for you!
Young America? | should rather say
Young World.
If any one thinks that Christianity is
senescent he has sufficient answer in
this army of 200 full regiments. 1t is
marching with the steady swing of vet
erans. and yet with the buoyancy of
youth. Now and then an old Christian
shrugs his shoulders, after us, the
deluge." True; a deluge of fresher Wig
or, keener wits, stronger faith. Look at
the young peoples religious societies of
this decade and you will have M fear
for the church of the Twentieth century.
To one who believes all this it is in
deed astonishing that there are some
who never heard of the Christian En-
deavor movement, who do not know
how, only eleven years ago last Febru-
airy, from the elements of a revival in a
church in Maine, an earnest pastor and
faithful people, was c~rystallized this new
jewel of the church's scepter, the Chris
tian Endeavor pledge. What was at
tractive about it? Where were the jokes,
the uniforms, the cake and candy, the
glitter and gayety that alone were sup
posed capable Of drawing young people?
If for nothing else, the world owes this
movement it's profound gratitude for
proving the deep seriousness of the
young. 1t used to be said, "Win them
by persons" Now it is said, "Win them
by principles. "-Harper's Weekly.

IN THE DEAD A

They tell the tale unsmiling,
Old men, their hours beguiling
AS they can;
Each annual November
They sadden who remember
Inkermann.
Yet of that field one story
Shines through the gloom and glory
OF the fight;
Over the cannons' roaring
There sings a lark song soaring
Out of sight.
AloOf, where men lay bleeding,
In fatal pain whose pleading
Made no CRY.
Shot pierced and saber smitten,
A young and gallant Briton
Crept to die.
At sunset there they found him
With the red snow around him.
And his hand
Laid on the Book whose healing
All hearts to heaven appealing
Understand.
And meath his frozen fingers
Those words whose hope outlingers
Human strife
Glowed like a stars reflection
II am the Resurrection
And the Life"
Comrades to burial bore him,
But lot deaths rending tore him
From his prize.
For to his hand caressing
Still chung the leaf whose blessing
Closed his eyes.
o Christian song supernal,
Words sweetest love eternal
Ever said.
Peace at your call comes flying,
And they who clasp you dying
Are not dead.

FIRE COMMITTEE WORK.


Growing out Of the collision Of No. .
Hose Co., the Peter Smith and Daggett
Engine No. 3, at Fifteenth and Main
streets, in which Engineer Charles
Shanewerk was so badly injured, an
other FIRE committee investigation was
held yesterday afternoon at the city
hall.
Foreman Craig ShanewerR and one or
two other members Of the company pre-
fered charges against driver Watkins,
OF Daggett No. 3, for carelcssness, in
efficiency and neglect of duty. The
witnesses examined were Chief Bell,
Foreman Craig, Engineer Shanewerk
and Fireman Gordon Goif. The com.
mittee concluded there was nothing in
the charges for II TO act upon, and
referred the whole matter back to the
Daggett company. The charges were
preferred by those who signed them as
individuals, not as the official represen.
tatives OF the company or at the re-
quest of the company,
