England's Coincidence.

London, Decem ber 12.-In the House of
Commons yesterday Mr.. Dixon Hartland
asked whether, in view of the outrage in
the French Chamber of Deputies, steps
would be taken to search people admitted
into the galleries of the House of Com
mons.
Mr.. Herbert AsquiGh. the home secre-
tary, said in reply that the authorities
of the House. together with the police,
were satisfied that every proper precau-
tion had been made to guard against an
outrage in the House Of Commns,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, gave notice of a
motion expressing sympathy with the
French Cham Der of Deputies. The notice
was greeted with cheers from all sides.
Mr.. Balfour, leader Of the opposition in
the House, said that he concurred in the
proposed motion.
Early in the evening Seaker Arthur
Wellesley Peel sent to M. Dupuy letter
written In the spirit indicated by Sir
William Harcourt's and Mr. Balfour's
utterances. The last communication of
coincidence between the British Commons
and the French Cham ber was the mes
sage sent from Paris when Sir Robert
Peel, father of the present Speaker died.
Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary sec
rotary of the foreign Office, stated that
the latest advices from the British min
lister at Rio Janeiro confirmed the state-
ment that the Brazilian Admiral de
Cana has Joined the insurgents. The
report of the defeat OF the governments

The Dog Ate ths Money.

An Italian laborer of Detroit was
paid some money the other day-$2a
in all and took it home to his wife
After counting the money over to
gether they laid it on the table for a
moment, while they adjourned to the
corner grocery to celebrate their
wealth. Returning in a few minutes,
they found the money gone. There
was nobody in the house but a NANCY
yellow cur, and after looking high
and low for the funds they concluded
that he must have stolen them, espe
cially as on examination they found
a bit of green paper adhering to his
teeth. Accordingly the dog was sacri
feed and a postmortem held ON his
remains, with the result that all the
money was found in his stomach. II
was torn into pieces, but these were
carefully fitted together and for.
warded through bank to the treas
ury for redemption. New Orleans

working Days Of the world.

'The Working Days of Different
Nations" forms the subject of some
interesting data given by Polish
statistician. Orthodox Russia, with
her numerous saints days and secu-
lar holidays, naturally stands at the
head of the list as the least laborious
of civilized nations.
The names of the countries enum-
Grated, with the number of their sta
tutory working days, are thus given: !:
Interior Russia, 267; Canada, 27s;
Scotland, 275; England, 27S; Portu-
gal, 293; Russian Poland, 2SS; Spain,
800; Austria and the Russian Baltic
provinces, 295; Italy, 29S; Bavaria,
Belgium, Brazil and Luxembourg,
300; Saxony, France, Finland, Wur.
temberg, Switzerland, Denmark and
Norway, 302; Sweden, 3o4; Prussia
and Ireland, 305; United States, BOG {;
Holland, 3Os, and Hungary, 312.
If these figures be approximately
correct, they are, to say the least Of
them, not little surprising. While
the orthodox Russian, who knows
his saints calendar by heart, is the
least laborious, the Hungarian car
ries the honors for unremitting in
dustry If he indulge in only one days

Lord Tennyson a. q Carpet Cleaner.

Tennyson appeared once in the new
character Of carpet cleaner Calling
on some friends and finding them
absent he wrote them polite note.
but had the misfortune to overturn
the ink bottle upon the beautiful
white Persian carpet. Frantic, he
appealed for help to the servant. She,
suddenly recollecting that new milk
will remove ink when wet, seized a
can of the creamy liquid which hap
pened to have been just left by the
milkman. She upset the can on the
large black pool and set about rub
bing and scrubbing the stain.
Down went Tennyson ON his hands
and knees, rubbing and scrubbing
also, in an agony of suspense lest his
friends should return, which he after
ward said reached the infinite" 4"
Every trace of ink was removed, and
the servant was rewarded with a

The Funny bone.

A most unpleasant sensation is
caused by the violent excitation OF
the ulnar nerve due to blow on the
elbow. This nerve passes down on
the inner side of the arm, and then
rather inconsiderately bends round
and enters the forearm at the back of
the elbow joint. Any one who has
felt his neighbor's elbow sticking into
his ribs knows that the elbow is re-
markably deficient in flesh. The
nerve is therefore at this point very
near the surface and has little to
shield it from O blow. If we are so
unfortunate as to give our elbow a
smart tap, we obtain practical con-
firmation of the fact that the ulnar
nerve is the principal sensory nerve
of the forearm and hand.-Toronto

ONCE IN The BIBLE.

Careful Search shows Dictionaries aus
Concordances In Error.
A minister in North Carolina and
another. and also Bible teacher In
Kentucky, have been puzzled over
this query. THE word it's is found
only once in the Bible-whereT They
say; will you please tell us wherei
We have failed to find it. It is not
remarkable that a minister Uf expo
rience should fail to find the answer
to this query
The word ''its" is not found in the
best concordances of the Bible, such
as Cruden's and Young's. Moreover,
Worcester's larger dictionary quotes
the statement of Trench, Through
the whole of our authorized version
of the Bible its does not once occur.
Although Worcester corrects an error
of Trench in respect to the use of the
word tits" by Shakespeare and Mil
ton, he does not correct the state
ment in respect to the use of the word
in the authorized version of the Bible.
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary
also says, THE possessive form, its,
is modern, being rarely found in
Shakespeare and Milton, and not at
all in King James version of the
Bible" The same statement is re-
peated in Webster's new Internar
tional Dictionary, word for word.
DR.. Angus, in his Handbook of the
English Tongue" also says: Its is
a recent form in English. It is sell
dom found in Shakespeare and never
in sacred Scripture"
The statement Of the revisers Of
the English Bible in their preface is
more precise. They say: 1T is we'll
known that it's does not occur in the
Bible of 1911, and it does not appear
to have been introduced into any edi-
ton before 1860. But it is found 10
times in Shakespeare, and there is
other evidence to show that at the
time of the authorized version it was
coming into use."
Now, if our North Carolina minis
ter and other readers of the auth IT.
lied version of the Bible will turn to
Leviticus XIV, s, they will find the
following THAT which groweth Of
it's own accord Of thy harvest thou
shalt not reap"
The word tits" is therefore found
in the current version of our English
Bible. Notwithstanding the state
ment of Worcester, Webster and
other authorities to the contrary.
Moreover, the word appears in vari-
GUS editions, as those Of the Ameri-
can Bible society, the Oxford and
Cambridge Press issues, the Collins
Bibles, Eyre and Spottiswoode's,
Bagst2 ) and all the editions of fam
lily an pulpit Bibles consulted for
this purpose. Sunday School World.

SCENES At A ssANcs.
Demesnor Of Medium while Under the
Control Of Spirit Influence.

pesnesnor Of = Medium while Under the
Control Of Spirit Influence.
At q seance 1 have seen one of the
mediums, lady, under control, az II
is termed, during which she would
sometimes personate man and some
times a woman. None but those who
have seen it would believe what
change comes over the person while
in this condition. The facial expires
sion is so changed that at times you
would not recognize in it the face of
the medium. The voice and manner
change, and If the control" is mas
culine the steps in walking are long
and heavy, the arms swinging loosely
at the sides and all the actions hav
ing every appearance of man. II
the control" is woman, the actions
are equally feminine, whether the
medium be man or a woman. II
the control" is refined and educated.
it is readily distinguished in the &C
tions, and if of lower order the diff
ference Is equally as marked.
The controls" generally come for
some particular one in the audience
and usually address their first re
marks to them, sometimes shaking
hands and calling them Familiarity by
name. One thing remarkable is that
they frequently refuse to tell their
names, but make themselves known
by telling some incident that hap
pened in the life of the one to whom
they are speaking, and which no one
in the audience knows but the per,
son being addressed. OF course it is
always puzzler to the disbeGever
how the medium should know Of this
particular incident, which occurred
years ago and has been half forgot
ten until so Unexpectedly brought to
mind
have seen this lady under both
male and female control" and the
difference in facial expression is 80
marked as to be almost beyond belief.
I have heard her sing in deep, rich
baritone voice, while naturally it il
difficult for her to sing the lower notes
of soprano, and have known her to
deliver an able lecture Of from 10
minutes to l hour, which is far be
yond her ability or education to do
when not under this particular ICON
troll, which is that of minister. On
one occasion she recited quite
lengthy poem complete, and on being
told of it after the control" had left
her could not repeat a single line
She never remembers what has tran
spired while under control" and
when told of it will hardly be con
vinced, declaring that she has simply
been asleep.
Usually, when the mediums are
passing under control, they appar
emily fall asleep and remain in this
state from to 10 minutes, after
which they make themselves known
to the person to whom they wish to
speak. They will also frequently
hold a general conversation with per
sons in the audience. While under
control" the physical conditions
seem unchanged. the pulse and tenn
perature being perfectly normal
When the control" begins to leave,
the natural actions Of the medium
are noticed first, then a rubbing of
the eyes as if awakening from a
sleep, a shudder and the control" is
gone. The mediums seldom feel any
inconvenience or bad effects from
these peculiar conditions. -Indianap
