Brilliancy of color is obtained by
placing complementary colors together
and combination of uncomplemen-
tary colors subdues them. Thus, when
green and red are placed side by side
each becomes brighter, but if yellow
be placed beside green it throws a blue
shade on the green and the green
throws red shade on the yellow, both
thus losing some of their brightness.

Professor Wiggins believes that tel
egraph wires cause drouth, that the
atmosphere cannot absorb moisture
unless it is charged with electricity
and that upon an .t,bllte spheroid like
the earth the electricity will inevitably
collect at the equator In this way he
explains the frequency of rains at the
equator. ''If, however," he says,
"there be elevated spots on sphe 'e,
electricity will collect on them. Should
these spots or continents be connected
by wires it might accumulate on each
alternately. This has happened this
year, and America has all the electric
energy and Europe has lost it /; SO that
our continent is flooded and Europe is
burned up with drouth. His conclu-
sion from all this is that electric wires
should be buried.

serves the New York World, that the
civilized Nations of Europe will frown
severely upon the scheme. The tax
ridden people of his dominions are al
ready mulcted of nearly $40, 200, 900
annually to support his harem. The
Turkish notion of worlds fair will
necessitate the invention of new levy,
the appointment of horde of new tax

present system of official incompetency
and tyranny that makes life in Arabia
and Syria little better than slavery.

"wHERE HELEN srrs.".

Where Helen sits, the darkness is 80 deep,
No golden sunbeam strikes athwart the
gloom;
No mothers smile, no glance OF loving eyes,
Lightens the shadow Of that lonely room.
Yet the clear whiteness Of her radiant soul
Decks the dim walls, like angel vestments
shed.
The lovely light of holy innocence
Shines like halo round her bended head,
Where Helen sits.
Where Helen sits, the stiffness is so deep,
No children's laughter comes, no song oi
bird.
The great world storms along its noisy way,
But in this place no sound is ever heard.
Yet do her gentle thoughts make melody
Sweeter than aught from harp or viol flung
And Love and Beauty, quirins each to each,
Sing as the stars of Edens morning sung,
Where Helen sits.

ALWAYS SWEEP UNDER THE MAT

A story is told of a poor servant girl,
Who once was moody and strange,
Who asked for admission to the fold OF tho
church.
AS she had experienced a change.
When asked by the pastor a reason to give
Fora step so important as that,
She Observation-Disclosures, sir, sighted my
work,
But now 1 sweep under the mat"
There's world of good sense
In this simple reply,
And well worth study and thought
To those who are travelling the way that Is
broad,
Not doing the things which they ought.
Be true to yourself; do the best that you
can,
In business at law. or the bat.
Whatever you do, be faithful and true,
And always "sweep under the mat.

The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1893-10-19

The Rev. Joseph Haven, who preached
in Rochester, N. H., during the last
quarter of the last century, has been al
ways remembered for his genial spirit
and his inexhaustible humor. One story
told of him has many parallels, but it is
quite as likely to be true in his case as
in any.
The boy had been guilty of somegrave
offense, and yet would not confess it.
II can tell who did il" said the parson,
and accordingly he called together all
the boys suspected and explained to them
that he had confined rooster under a
kettle in darkened room. One after
another they must pass in and touch the
kettle. When the guilty boy touched it, he
might expect to hear the rooster crow.
The lads filed in and out again and
were made to display their fingers All
but those of one lad We're sooty. He, the
guilty one, had not ventured to touch
the telltale kettle. e.-Youth's Companion.

Street Cars Run by Natural Gas.

The cars are of the ordinary size, but
are constructed entirely Of natural gas
pipes, ranging in size from six inches
down. These hollow tubes are neatly
carved, so that to the average observer
the fact that they are built Of such ma
terial is not noticed. These pipes are
heavily charged with gas, and with the
aid Of boiler and the engines at work
beneath the floor it is said run of 80
miles can be made without refilling the
tubes. A speed can be obtained equal
to that of cars run by the electric
method. It said that one Of the latter
will cost $4,000 for its construction,
while gas car can be made for 1000
Either artificial or natural gas can be
used as the propelling power. 1t is fur
ther asserted by its inventor that to
operate it day Of 10 hours will cost but
$1.14, while the expense Of running an
electric car for the same period will be
$8.-Indianapolis Sentinel.

Sensible Treatment of Corns.

Light shoes, short shoes and clumsy
shoes produce corns by COMPRISING,
cramping and rubbing against the joints.
A great many of these pedal blemishes
are hereditary. In any case it is a good
plan to suppress them. Every medicine
merchant has variety of "cures," and
nearly all give temporary relief. A
poultice made of vinegar soaked bread
crumbs will cure little corn in one
night. It is not advisable to let corn
grow Either rub down the formation
with pumice stone or remove it with a
knife. A little opposition will discour-
age it, provided sensible shoes are worn.
In pedicuring, as in manicuring, the feet
should be soaked in hot water and as
much of the waste material brushed and
rubbed off as possible. York

The STUPID HUSBAND Of : Noted singer.

Tho Stupid Husband OF Q Noted singer
Catalani's husband, "a handsome French
man, was even more unintellectual than
his wife-he was stupid. Once, having
found the pitch Of the piano too high, she
said after the rehearsal to her husband:
"The piano is too high. Will you see
that it is made lower before the con-
cert"
When the evening came, Catalani was
annoyed to find that the piano had not
been altered. Her husband sent for the
carpenter, who declared that he had
sawed off two inches from each leg, as
he had been ordered to do. Surely 1t
can't be too high now, my dearr said
