The chairman of the lecture committee
in Oldtown. Me-. told me that he once
belonged TO a debating club of which
the chief justice. when a boy, was a
member. One evening Capital Punish
ment" was the subject debated. The
deacon of the church and two clergymen
were for hanging Young Fuller was
opposed.
Said the deacon, quoting from the Mo-
sale law, Whose sheddeth mans blood,
by man his blood shall be shed" Think
ing this to be a bombshen to his oppo-
nents, he dwelt upon it till his time had
expired, when the boy sprang to his feet
and said:
"Supposing we take the law which the
gentleman has quoted and see what the
logical deduction would come to. For
example, one man kills another; another
man kills him, and so on until we come
to the last man on earth. Who's going
to kill him? He dare not commit sui
eide, for the same law forbids it. Now,
deacon" continued the boy, ''what are
you going to do with the last man.

Plays For Young Girls.

Many wise mothers think that the
theater should be reserved for adult life.
They regard it as stimulant and to be
unnecessary for the growing mind. 1t
may be compared to those drugs which
relieve headache by affecting the heart.
Still the mother who would make of
her girl "a woman holy and wise" will
not exclude the theater. But outside of
some special representations of Shake
speare she will select only simple plays.

There is one other class of plays which
she may some time allow for the same
reason that she cheerfully provides ro-

fashioned melodrama in which the hero
is triumphant, the villain is brought to
Justice and all comes out right in the
end. Such treat is like the ''frolics''

Retaining Youth In Mature Life.

Not only does the vivacity, the en-
thusiasm. which belongs to youth carry
the man who retains it in middle age
over difficulties, but it brings him the
sympathy and applause of the world,
which is sometimes refused to more
worthy men.
We honor Bacon, but we give our af-
fection to Charles Lamb. Washington,
Jefferson, Adams and Webster COM
manded the homage and veneration Of
thenation, but it loved Clay, Lincoln and
Blaine, with all of their faults.
The tendency of American life is to
force our young people into shrewd
adults, who try anxiously to rid them
selves of impulse and emotion.
1t is a common sarcasm among the
young that their fathers and mothers en-
joy jokes and are touched by sentiment
which their children are quite too old to
care for.
But may not the fin de steele boys and
girls be losing an element of strength
when they forget how to weep and make
merry.-Youth's Companion.

Dangerous Barber Shop.

The funniest street sign that ever
hung over New York door is that of a
barber on Hudson street near where the
city's thoroughfares get tangled up in
such confusion at Abingdon square.
The owner of the shop is darky and is
very fond of big words. So when he
had his sign painted he had it made to
read, "Tonsorial Parlor," instead of just
plain Barber Shop" This sign hung
for nearly a year. Then some wag
probably told him that there was a
more elegant wording which might
draw custom to his shop. Within a
week new sign, resplendent in red,
white and blue, hung out proclaiming
that ''Tonsorial Abattoir" might be
found within. 1t is not known whether
the shop is more literally patronized
under its new designation as hair
dressing butcher shop or not. but GER
tainly the darky is very happy over the
length and impressive appearance of the
new word on his sign.-New York

Ivory Billiard Balls stained With Blood.

Ivory Billiard Balls Stained With Blood.
The globe of ivory which is knocked
about table in game of billiards COSTS
if of good quality. at least $40. This rep
resents its cost in money. There is.
however, a far more important and for
midable element in the price which has
been paid for it Tie billiard ball of
pure ivory represents as it lies white
and glistening upon the cloth an expend-
iture of human lifeblood as well as of
money.
Elephants tusks are brought down to
the African coasts by caravans general
ly in charge of Arabs, which have been
trading in the interior. Very often they
have picked up slaves as well as ivory
But this phase of the matter may be left
out of the account.
1t is estimated that every large caravan
bringing ivory to the coast has cost more
than 100 human lives through fights and
murders in the course of the expedition.
Thirty more men are likely to have sue.
cumbed to fevers or other diseases and
the fatigues of the march.
The hunting of the elephants and the
capture of the ivory are very likely to
have caused the death of 10 men alto
gether Such casualties are the rule
in elephant hunting rather than the ex-
ception.
An average tusk does not furnish more
than enough material for two good bill
lard balls. Of course the remainder of
the ivory in each tusk is made use of in
other ways. A perfectly cut billiard ball
requires special quality or so called
nerve" which is found only in one part
of the tusk.
The chances are that billiard ball of
the first quality has cost at least one hu-
man life. and there is not one such ball
which may not truly be said to be
stained with human blood They can
hardly be considered. therefore, cheer

A Grease Filter Tor RoiIers.

A filter for removing grease, which
often passes into boilers with the feed
water, consists of metallic chamber or
filter box in which are series of gratings,
and between these gratings are placed
layers of wire gauze and flannel of spe-
cial texture, which forms the fltering me-
dunn. The feed water from the donkey
pump enters the filter box from one side,
passes upward through the filter cloths
and thence out to the boiler, the scum
passing away through another outlet.
By this means it is found that all grease
and greasy matter. as well as other i'm
purities, are arrested by the filter cloths.
which can be readily taken out for clean
ing or renewal. The filter is equally ap-
plicable to land and marine boilers

that you are not mourning so much as

Next year it is narrower still. The grief

THE PEACE BELLS OF sRooKLlNE.

Our hearts were waiting, bleeding. waiting,
With trembling, longing, hope and fear,
Our very breaths in silence batting.
And while we prayed, Gods hand be staid
Let war be over. peace appear
Through all the air, with cadence fine,
Came pealing bells from fair Brookline:
Peace is signed at Appomattox!
'Mattox, 'MattoxI
Peace is signed at Appomattox-
From spire TO spire the tidings spring
As sunbeams flash DER peaks of snow,
While strong men weep or pray or sing.
And each mans mood TO all seems good,
For in that happy, golden glow
To God all grateful hearts incline,
While shouts the bells of fair Brookline;
Peace is signed at Appomattoxl
'Mattox! 'Mattoxl
Peace is signed at Appomattoxi'
Twas chi 'en rang that glorious peal
In lightsOme glee that war was DER.
As men and women now they feel
How blest were they that happy day
To ring the bells which tidings bore
That brother brother fought no morel
And still they'll thrill in life's decline
When sound the bells of fair Brookline,
For neer in memory's dreams shall cease
That peal seraphic ringing: Peace.

Effect of Faith In Times of sickness

The effect of belief or faith, the effect
of mind over the matter of the body, is
one of the mysterious things in all sci
ence. 1t is unquestionably fact, dem
onstrated beyond all dispute by thou
sands of observed cases. Long before it
was admitted or studied by scientific
men it was commonly known, and that,
too, among races of little mental devel-
opment. Who shall say when the first
enemy prayed his enemy to death among
the natives of the South Sea islands?
Who can tell when the first Obi man
"put cunjer" on him who had defied him?
The religious mysteries of vanished ma
tions are full of recorded occurrences
that may only be explained by this ex-
traordinary power.-Cyrus Edison, NJ.

A SUPERNATURAL STORY.
The Contents of a Paper Found on the Per-
son of an Insane Suicide.


Here is story of the supernatural. 1t
happened more than 100 years ago, so
that you may hope that it is not true.
Yet in those days the invention of news
was not yet known, and the paper which
contains this story was sober and hon
est journal. One of the patients in a
madhouse-a parish madhouse, think
| that of unceston-escaped. That was
no new thing. They all wanted to es-
cape. As the woman, although very
mad indeed, was quite harmless, they
| went about their search in a leisurely
fashion. At last they found her drowned
in shallow ditch and carried her back
to the madhouse.
On preparing the unhappy woman for
the grave they found in her corset-then
called her stays-something that rustled.
They cut the thing open and discovered
small parcel rolled up tight in some
waterproof stuff-whatever was then in
vented. The parcel was document
written on parchment. 1t was written
very small and misspelled, but this was
how it ran:
The man came along after dark. He
stopped at our door and said he was
stranger, and would my aunt take him
in for the night? He seemed sailor
and said he was respectable and showed
money. Elizabeth said aunt, he can
have your room, and you shall sleep with
me- There were two bedrooms in the
cottage, up a ladder, both garrets. Dur
ing the evening he sent me out for
drink, and he had lot and was drunk,
but he got up the ladder safe and so to
bed. In the night / heard aunt get out
of bed. There was a moon shining in
the skylight window.
''She took something and went into
the mans room. Then l was frightened
and sat up in bed. and l heard sound
as of blow and nothing more. Present
ly aunt came back, and in the moonlight
she saw me sitting up in bed. Get up
she said; go down stairs and get, if you
can, light So did and brought the
rushlight up the ladder. Aunt had the
Bible in her hand. Swear she said,
that you will never tell any one what
has been done So l swore, trembling,
and wished might go suddenly mad if
told. Then says she, I've killed the
lodger. His pockets were full of guineas,
and I'm made woman. But you must
help me-
so she made me help to drag the body
down into the room below and out in the
garden. where we dug a hole under the
cabbages and laid it as deep as we could.
Then we covered all up and went back
to the house and waited till daybreak.
AS soon as it was light we washed up the
place, and nobody ever found out. One
night, when was a woman grown, the
dead man came to my bedside and said,
Tell the story and 1 said, L 1cannot, be-
cause swore.' He said: If you tell, you
have sworn to go mad. If you do not
tell, l will haunt you till you do go mad
$50, as am bound to go mad either
way, have written the story down and
sewn it up. When am dead, somebody
will find it and will dig up the poor man
and bury him in a churchyard. The
house is situated"
Thus the narrative. And they dug up
the garden in the place indicated and
found the dead body in what had been
sailors clothes.-Walter Besant in Lon
don Queen.
