Curiositles of Literary Worship.

The most cXtravagant instance of liter
airy relic worship on record is said to be
that of well known Englishman, who
constantly wears, in a small loCket at
tached to q chain around the neck, a pOr-
tion of the charred skull of Shelley
OF late years great many persons have
visited the former residence of the late
Victor Hugo to sec tooth of that celeb
rity which is kept in a small glass case
with this inscription: ''Tooth drawn from
the jaw of Victor Hugo by the dentist on
Wednesday, Aug. Ii, 1871 at Viandon, in
the gardens attached to the house of Nine
KOCH at O'Clock in the afternoon"
In the year 1916 tooth of the famous
Sir Isaac Newton was sold at auction by
a relic mOnRer of London and was pur-
chased by an English nobleman for a sum
equal to SO, $50 in United States currency.
The buyer had costly diamond removed
from favorite ring and the tooth set in
its place.
The wig that Sterne wore while writing
"Tristram Shandy" was sold at public
auction soon after the great writer's death
for the sum of 60, 900, and the favorite
chair of Alexander Pope brought 81, 00G
at a sale in 1S22.-St. Louis Republic.

KICKING ON THE UMPIRE.
Tho Colloquy That Should and the One That
Does Take Place.


Among the musty rules for the govern
ment of baseball is one which provides
that player addressing the umpire must
preface his remarks by respectful Mr.
Umpire" Those patrons of the national
game who fondly imagine that the rules
are enforced have doubtless often seen a
captain stride in the direction of the auto
GRAFT of the diamond with cleaning eye,
compressed lips and clinched hands The
player Confronts the umpire, who stands
calmly chewing gum like "a contemplative
heifer in a clover patch. The players lips
are seen to move, he gesticulates wildly,
and his attitude is that of an avonging
Nemesis. Owing to the distance of the
two men from the grand stand the specta-
tors cannot hear a word, but they assume
the players remarks are about like this:
"Mr. Umpire, your decision was intol-
erably unjust Did Mr.. Mulcahy possess
as many arms as an octopus and each one
as long as the Brooklyn bridge, he could
not have touched Mr.. Ratigan, who slid
like an eel in tub of butter. That de-
cision dcprives us of run and may even
tually result in our defeat. Mr. Umpire,
l am loath to believe that you arc preju-
diced against the Boomtararas, but the
trend of your decisions forces me to that
conclusion. assure you that unless you
occasionally acknowledge Rr presence in
the field and in the game az Protest will be
lodged against you.
During the argument the umpire Chews
gum with the greatest industry, and when
the player pauses to take breath the UNI
pire is seen to wave his hand and deliver a
few remarks, which the spectators pre-
sumo are in this strain: Captain Gilhoo-
ly, your structures on my Judgment are
uncallcd for l decided Ratigan out be-
cause he was not safe. l decline to DO in
Inundated by threatened protests, and l
insist that you retire to the bench"
Then the game goes on, and the speCta-
tors breathe easy, but they are ignorant Of
what really passed between the player and
umpire. AS matter of fact, Captain Gil
hooly spoke as follows:
"Sa-a-y! You sap headed clown from
GRANVILLE, whit ye tryin to Civ us emmy
how? Take us fer green goods guys?
Sa-a-y! got a mind to biff yo in the
chopsl Why dat man WASH out by three
feet. Yc give mo a pain, ye do. Sa-a-yl
Know what III do to yer I'll put yo out
of de business Yes, will. What chance
we got fer dc pennant wild your rank de-
cisioLs? Sa-a-y You broke into baseball
wild a jimmy, didn't YEP Now, look here,
ye lunk headed lulu, ye put the kibosh
on us again an yen git run out of the
grounds. For cents I'd soak yer!'
Then the umpire responds as follows:
eco on now! Git Over to the bench, you
knockerl You can't bulldoze me, and you
won't git nothin that don't belong to you,
see? Now, go and squat, or I'll put SO on
you'
Captain Gilhooly therepuon slowly re-
turns to tho bench, and the spectators say,
THAT'S right, cap, call him down. -

Damage by Lightning Increased.

Damage by lightning is Enthusiastically
increasing, according to the director of the
statistical Office of Berlin. Various causes
are assigned, such as the employment OF
electricity in various industries, the con-
tinual change of form of the earths sur
face by deforestation, drainage, etc, and
the impurities introduced into the atmos-
phere by the growing consumption Of
coal. Professor Won Behold some time ago
showed that for Bavaria the fires due to
lightning increased from yearly average
of 30 in 1888 to 1913 to 1879 in 1880 to 1882,
while the number of persons struck by
lightning and of those killed rose from
1874 and %, respectively, in 1855 to 1856
and 1G1 in 1885. An interesting fact noted
is that persons struck generally perceive
neither lightning nor thunder, but receive
the impression Of being enveloped by fire.

weather vanes on Churches.

Half dozen churches in New York bear
upon their spires or weather vanes the
figure of a cock, though doubtless with
out any intent upon the part of the build
ers to preserve an ancient superstition. As
an inn sign the cock goes back to days be-
fore the Christian era, but the bird be-
came invested with sort of sacredness
among Christians after he had announced
the apostacy of Peter. One legend has it
that Christ was born at cock crow, and
the bird was invested in the middle ages
with superstitious halo of sacredness. -

Your PHYSICAL Condition

needs attention at this time. If you are
tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that
your blood is impure, and without doubt
there has been too much overwork or
strain on brain and body. The course of
treatment for such condition is plain
and simple. The blood must first be
purified so that the nervous system, and
in fact all the organs will be fed upon
pure blood. Intelligent people without
number have testified that the best blood
purifier, nerve tonic and strength impart-
ing medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilla
Nervousness, loss of sleep and general
debility all vanish when Hoods Sarsa.
parilla is persistently taken; in a word,
health and happiness follow after taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

How 1t Should and How 1t Should Not BE
Performed

The abuse of punishment is more dan
gerous than the greatest indulgence. AT
the present day we have outgrown the
harsh methods of the past. Corporal pun
ishment is almost entirely excluded from
our schools. The hurt ocoasioned by cor
poral punishment is not to the body, but
to the mind. 1t is, after all, the mind that
is struck.
But this is not all. In appealing to the
mind we treat the child as a rational
creature. This is a claim of the child that
we cannot ignore. Corporal punishment
is one sided. Besides corporal punishment,
as Herbert Spencer has shown, is associat-
ed with man in the childhood of the
world. 1t is the savage, who has not pa
thence to reason or explain, who strikes.
Corporal punishment can seldom be adj
ministered without passion. When we
show excitement, we give signs of weak
ness Then the boy or girl becomes con-
scious of power over us. This is a temp
tation to youth.
The danger of corporal punishment,
therefore, is that we can seldom admins
ter it without losing our head. On the
other hand, we cannot appeal to the rea-
son without becoming more reasonable.
Besides corporal punishment there are
other punishments that are not justifiable
To shut up child in dark room is to
spur it's Imagination into wild fancies
Darkness is bad companion. 1t will con-
tract and terrify the child. Denying chill
dren the necessary amount of sleep or food
exposing them to the inclemency of the
weather, Withholding from them for too
long time the tokens of affection, treat
ing them as strangers, or as enemies, or
ignoring them altogether-thesc are meas
ures that do moro harm than good.
Punishment shsuld be of such nature
that, if necessary, the parents may share
it with the children. The child must
know that it cannot suffer alone physical
ly, much less morally. Its suffering brings
suffering to others This is the lesson that
will develop the social element in the
child.
In the second place, we must correct the
faults Of the child by it's virtucs-that is
to say, the strong qualities of tho mind
must spur the weak faculties into play
If a child be physically strong, but moral
ly weak, let the parent hold up to view the
two sides of its nature until the physically
strong child shall be ashamed of its moral
cowardice. journal of Ethics.

SHE WAS A NEWCOMER.
And She Didn't Know That 1t Wouldn't
Do to Say "Women"

DO to Say "WOmen."
She was a newcomer to that little mid
die class clique. Her husband was of
their set but he had married her in dis
tant city, and there were rumors that she
had been an actress or something else dis
graceful. The other ladies in the progress
i've euChre club couldn't understand her
ways, and even their husbands were sus-
picious that she had not always moved in
society so exalted. Finally she was caught
red handed so to speak, and thereafter was
ostracized by these SNUG Philistines.
tell the story Of her downfall as it was told
to me by Captain Adoniram Perkins,
whose house is filled with red plush furni-
turo and So etchings, and who is therefore
generally respected on - street:
Il always thought she was a low bred
thing, but we had no proof until the last
meeting of the club. Then she forgot her
self and spoke of the other ladies present
as women Ny wife wanted to take it
up as an insult, but l pitiGd the poor
thing, and so we concluded not to invite her
or her husband to any more of our doings.
It's rough on her husband, of course, but
maybe it serves him right for marrying a
woman without any refinement. What's
that? Lady has been worked to death,
and woman is better form nowadaysl
Oh, go on! You're kiddin. Nobody but
"a female who goes out washing by the day
is woman. Why, our hired girl would
quit if we didn't speak Of her as lady. "

longs.

Tongs were said to have been invented
in China B. G. l122, but representations
of them have been found on the Egyptian
monuments b. c. 1900. In India they are
claimed as in use since b. G. 900, and
their principal employment in that coun-
try, where fires during the most of the
year are super1uous, was to facilitate the
handling of dead bodies in the funeral
pyres. Seventy pairs of tongs, some
bronze, some iron, have been taken from
the ruins of Pompeii.
