Saved His Dignity.

One of the chief men in the early
history of Weston, Mass, was Francis
Fullam, commonly known as Squire
Fullam. He was justice of the peace
and one of the pillars of the church,
and on Sundays always sat with his
eyes fixed upon the minister, as if con-
scious of being a worthy example to
the rest of the congregation.
One Sabbath morning, during Purse n
Wcodward's sermon, an, old colcred
woman in the gallery fell asleep and
tumbled off thu bench to the floor.

Squire Fu]lam, who was rather deaf,

Later Uses of Electricity.

In the transition through which the
whole world is passing, in placing itself.
upon another basis, the electrical field
is one that is making real strides in
the way of economical appliances Elec--
tricity is slowly but surely making q
revolution in housekeeping, and pleas
antly robbing that department of
great deal of drudgers, and the tend
cncy is still onward in developing new
appliances which add to the luxury of
our later-day civilization. The latest
device in this way is an electrically
heated shaving pot. The base of the.
pot is hollow, like the bottom of a.
champagne bottle, the lamp being slip.
ped inside. The lamp is of about eight
candle power, and it's cost is about z:
cents. The transmission Of power by
electricity, problem which has exer-
cised the minds of electrical engineers
for years, has been solved in one way
among others by the transmission Of

great engines. which almost nOiSeleSSly
but irresistibly screw her on across
the Pacific on the longest oc .an route
of the world. You might begin to fig
ure on the force that moved her, and
if your calculations were correct you
would see that 10000 horses all pull
ing at once would represent it. You
would find that she carried enough
weight to load down 5000 two-horse
wagons, and it would probably surprise
you to know that of this vast amount
one-third has to be made up of coal
1t requires 1000 tons Of coal to start
out on such a voyage, and the steamer
burns from 100 to 200 tons every day.
1t is a big dwelling house that re-
quires ten tons Of coal year. This
steamer uses on a single voyage enough

Ship Covered With Snow and Ice.
During our journey the engines were
pushed to their fullest. We had a

for twelve out Of the thirteen days
which it took to cross it was STONY in

of the Chinese cities I shall probably
have to pocket many an insult to avoid
trouble. In Japan, where the progress
i've element is in the ascendancy, and
I have special letters from the govern
ment, it is compare lively safe, and I
shall return here and make an extended
tour in the most Out-of-the-way parts
of the country.
The most dangerous part of my jour
ney find will probably be among the
Chinese The trip from Vancouver to
Japan was more like a voyage to the
north pole than 4 summer journey
across the placid Pacific. I took the
Canadian steamship line, which is the
best and fastest that goes from Ameri-
ca to the far east, and had it been
summer there could have been no vOy-
age more pleasant. The three empress
steamers are each as big as the best
ships that sail the Atlantic, and they
are fitted up with all the modern con-
veniences of ocean travel The cabins
are lighted by electricity and they are
twice the size Of those Of the Atlantic
lines. The officers are all English, and
the ships form a part Of The British
naval reserve. They carry the British
mails and receive a subsidy from the
English government. The servants are
Chinese, and you are waited on in your
room and at th{e table by yellow
skinned boys in pig tails and gowns,
and you find your service far better
than that of the greedy-eyed, fee-solicit-
ing stewards who wait upon you when
you go to Europe. The ship on which
I crossed was the Empress of Japan
Let me give you an idea of her. Take
| the street in front of your house. II
the Empress of Japan could be dragged
up it, her sides would scrape the walls
of the houses and she would look over
the roofs of any Of your business blocks
of less than seven stories.
Her length is such that she would
fill the roadway from one end of the
block to the other, and if you ex ami1el
her you would find her to be a great
steel shell filed with little world
a1d run by some Of the most wonder
