The Possibilities of Ten Cents.

Consider, if you please, the practical
difference between 1Oc and &c, as Mr..
Nathan Straus demonstrates it daily at
his sterilized milk booths, where you
can buy a glass of cool milk for 1c.
A mar for &c can buy the equivalent of
a hygienic summers breakfast and
still have SC left. At the old price of
SC a glass he would have nothing left.
Now he a ride all over town on the
elevated for five of it, and when he
gets tired of changing off at the sta
tons where the and down trains meet
can refresh himself with three glasses
more Of milk or else he a buy a glass
of milk for eight other people who
need it, or he can buy five buns for Sc
and have five glasses of milk, or he can
have two macaroons for a cent, drink
four glasses Of milk and can top it all
off with a penny glass Of ice cream.
The possibilities of 1Oc in this town,
as the penny milk and coffee booths
have shown them, are simply amazing.

Untimely Ends
Minneapolis, Aug. 10.-Henry G. FL
son, a salesman in the employ Of the
Goodyear Rubber company, was taken
by cramps while bathing in Lake Cal
houn last night and drowned. He was
a young man twenty-five years Of age
and came here from Winnipeg. For
some time he resided at 9Q2 First ave-
nue. north. Elson was a member of
the Westminster Presbyterian church
and was highly respected in church
and business circles. The body was
found this morning by patrolmen of
the Fifth precinct. The story Of the
accident is somewhat confused, as par
t~ittllans in regard to it cannot be
gained on account of Horace C.
Thompson's sad condition. He Is the
only n who can reveal the facts, as
he was out on the lake with ElsOn, but
his mind is to-day a blank as a result
of the accident.

EEP IN CHURCH.
1t Is a Sign, for One Thing, of the
APPROACH of Old Age.

1t Is a Sign, for One Thing, of the
Approach of Old Age.
DR.. Chalmers went to preach for Ed
ward Irving, the cratic genius, who
asked the privilege of making a few
preliminary remarks, and spoke an
hour or two in a crowded building.
Chalmers referring to it >afterward,
said, What could / do in an exhaust
ed receiver" There are many cases
justifying sleeping in church; the moth
er who has been watching two or three
nights with a sick child, the father who
has been thoroughly overworked, and
invalids are not to be condemned it
they dCZe in the sanctuary unWillingly.
The carbonic acid gas resulting from
crowds, and especially from gas jets,
old air heated by steampipes, the effects
of furnaces with red hot acid pots,
through which not only carbonic acid
gas, but a far more dangerous gas, can
%percolate, makes the most devout and
attentive drowsy.
Sometimes the first signs Of old age
are a tendency to sleep in church. The
philosophy Of the nod and of the at
titudcs of the head is this: Uncon-
sciously we hold our heads in position
by an effort of the will. When sleep
begins that is relaxed; gravity takes
charge of thehead and also of the under
jaw, but as the head slips back it pro-
duces an uncomfortable feeling and
slightly awakens the. sleeper, who
systematically exercises his will and
straightens himself up, and relaxes it
Immediately afterward. This may con.
tinue in some cases, putting the man in
the attitude apparently of bowling as
sent to every succeeding sentence. No
woman will voluntarily sleep in church
if she has the ordinary desire to appear
well.
1t must, however, be conceded that
in many instances the minister is to
blame. If he succumbs to depressing
influences, and especially if he drones,
or is prolix, or breaches only words,
words, Words" or has a canting tone
SO that on whatever he says the same
stress is laid at regular intervals; If he
turns his face, to the wall and does
not look at the audience, or fixes his
eye upon a point and never removes it,
or is very long, Or makes the same
gestures frequently, he may lull the
people.
Some ministers have to preach half
an hour or sc to become interesting.
1t was well said to one of them: If
you had delivered the first thirty min
utes of your discourse in the adjoining
graveyard before entering the church
the effect upon the living would have
been greater."-Christian Advocate.
