People who Are Careless Of Other..

It is sometimes a little odd how
people who are thoroughly well bred
in their home seem utterly to disre-
gard the amenities abroad. In their
own houses they are Difference and
kindness personified. All that can be
done for the comfort and happiness
of guest or another member of the
household is done freely and fully.
But aside from this their fellow crea-
lures, bound to them by no tie of
hospitality, could tell another story,
When they set out on a journey, all
their faults apparently come to the
surface, ar1 their fellow travellers
perceive, in them the hateful traits
of peevishness, selfishness and irrita
bility. .u

The Hawk,s shrewdnsss.

A very common practice among
the hawks of this country is to fol
low close in the track of a railroad
train, flying low down near the
ground. The small birds along the
line, startled by the roar of the cars,
fly up in clouds, and tho hawk takes
his pick of the fattest of the lot. The
little birds are so alarmed by the
noise of the train that they do not
see the hawk, and before they can
get away he has replenished his lar
der. The fact has often been OBJ
served by persons living along the
lines of railroads, and is a singular
illustration of the faculty of adapta-
ton possessed by animals that are
forced to live by their wits, -Ex-

The manufacture of caoutchouc, OF
rubber, from cotton-seed oil is said to
have attained considerable proportions
in this country, the process of an
English inventor being used. Large
quantities of the oil are employed to
produce a substitute that costs about
seven cents a pound. Some fifteen
per cent. of this is mixed with genu-
inc rubber in making the various
kinds of rubber goods.

A curious case of apparent answer

A curious case of apparent answer
ing Of prayer is reported. Samuel
Wells, secretary of the board of exr-
else of commissioners of Cumberland
county, N. j., who have the power of
issuing liquor licenses, died Monday.
They have been asked on all sides,
especially by the women, to refuse to
give license. On August 18th, at
Cridgton, the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union met in the Central
Methodist Episcopal church, and pray
ed that the Exercise Board might not
issue any more licenses. One enthu-
siastic woman, the wife of grocer
Townsend, prayed that God would
paralyze the board and remove its
members before they granted any
more licenses. At Pitman Grove
camp-meoting the next day in re-
vival, the woman repeated her prayer
The board continued its hearing OF
applicants and intended to wind up
its work on September lst. Wells,
the late secretary, has voted for a
number of licenses. On Saturday il
seemed as if Mrs, Townsend's prayer
had been answered, Wells was found
in his Office paralyze zed. He died Mon
day. The woman heard the news OF
Wens' death and was Mortified. The

know whether to grant more licenses
