ID Mincs Pies For Him.
From the Chieago RceorL

From the - icsc0 Record
Mr.. Huger and his wife came from
Iowa and every year they spent Thanks
giving with the old folks in fact, he
has always managed to get home for
holidays. His mother pridcs herself
on her mincenaJt and se0rns to Use
any of the prepared mincemeats on the
market-says she doesn't know what
they are made OF.
Mr.. Huger was asked when he ex-
pecied to start for home and he said he
didn't know whether he should 90 this
year. On being asked what the trou-
ble was he replied: Now, I'll read
you the las; sentence or two of my sist-
er's letter of invitation and you will
see" 81 he read the following:
Mother has all the minceneat fin
ished for the winter. She says il is
better than usual, but haven't dared
taste it. You will say it is fine, | know.
BE sure and come. Love to all. Your
sister. MABEL

The Milky Sea Phenomenon.
from Blackwood's Magazine.

From BlaciIwO0d's Magazine.
In 1916 the expedition to the East
Indies under Martin Pring, when in
the tropical Pacific, had one night what
was to the members of that expedition
4 very mystifying spectacle. They be-
held the sea all about them pale and
white, resembling a vast cheese vat, %
that one might have imagined ''the
Ship to have been sailing in Whey in
stead Of Salt Water, il carried such
milky appearance along with it. The
Air and Skie M the same time look d
White and Hay, without doubt the
elect of the reflections from the Sur
face of the Water so dispos'd and col
our'd.1
In February, 1881, Mr.. Daniel Pidg-
con, very acute observer, witnessed
the phenomenon of this ''milky sea" Of
the Pacific, when he says. ''The whole
ocean from the snip to the visible no
rizon looked exactly as if it were COW
cred with snow"
''The snowy surface evidently reflect
ed the light of the sky, for Venus, be-
ing very bright, threw a distingaisha-
ble line of radiance across il while the
phosphorescent crest of waves was
now and then seen breaking above the
LAYER of shining matter which overlaid
the water" lie convinced himself
that the appearance was due to a thin
layer OF mist, produced when the sea
surface happens to be considerably cool
er than the moist atmosphere above il,
81 that the air in inlmediate contact
with the water is chilled below the
dew point and becomes misty, while
the air above remains transparent.
1t would be interesting to know if
the same explanation will apply to all
displays of the milky sea, or wheth-
ct the effect should sometimes be at
tributed solely 10 phosphorescent ami
mails and plants, and, if not, whether
in any case those sources of light con
tribute to illuminate the sea from be

THE President here talks Of restric-
tions on National Banks, and says
Any inconvenience or embarrass-
ment arising from these restrictions on
the location Of National Banks might
well be remedied by better adapting
the present system to the creation of
Banks in smaller communities, or by
permitting Banks of large capital to
establish Banks in such localities as
would serve the peOple-sO regulated
and restrained - to secure their safe
and conservative control and manage
ment.
( The President continues on to the
extent of about fifteen columns, but We
must stop with this paragraph on cheap
money!
The past is full of lessons, teaching
not only the economic dangers, but the
National immortality that follow i'm
the train of such experiments. | will
not believe that the American people
can be persuaded after sober delibera-
ton 10 jeopardize their Nations
prestige and proud standing by encour-
aging financial nostrums, nor that
they will yield to the false allurements
of cheap money, when they realize
that it must result in the weakening Of
that financial integrity and rcctitude
which thus far in our history has been
SO devotedly cherished a. one Of the
traits Of true Americanism.

A Little story Of st.venson'..

remember how Steyenson's face
looked when he said that long though
he had been tied 10 scdentary habits
and deeply though he loved the art
they permitted him 10 practice, tho
one thing in the world that ho held
to DO the best was still tho JOY of
outdoor living 10 was o beautiful
face just then, because IL revealed a
soul which could endure without be-
moaning itself And for the same
reason il was beautiful again when
1t turned merry oyer little tale of
attempts to learn the art of knitting
as a solace for hours Of wearisomo
lapguor-unavaiiing attempts, al
though he had persisted in them I'M
iii he brought himfelf 90 the verge
nay, he declared, actually over tho
verge-of tears. An amusing little
story it seemed as he told its details,
yet in itself and in the manner Of its
telling it might have moved lis
tener 10 tears in his turn, so uncon.
scious did tho teller seem that a life
long story Of smiling conflict with
bitter denials and restrictions. when
reduced to its very lowest terms,
then showed the very sharpest, most
tragical edge of its pathos. -"Robert

While the people have been on
their knees in thanksgiving prayer, a
different motive moved three thousand
people 10 Boston a few days ago to off
er up prayer to the Most High.
They asked Tor the conversion of Bob
Ingersoll. There are but few who
would not join in that petition. The
christian traits which this man has
borrowed to fight christianity with is
what makes him dangerous To the
unsuspecting. IL he were not kind, il
he were not generous, if he did no
good deeds, he would not be a success
as an infidel, but he initiates christi
anity in doing these things, aud their
presence in him gives him the ear OF
the world and many WAC hear, mp
plaud because the chrIstian.like ac'su II
his makeup outshine his inidel doc
trines. If his theory was allied more
closely to his practice, he would be a
useful man. His practice in some
respects partakes Of christianity,
while his theory is wrong, many judge
him by his practice, hence the respect
many good people have for him. lOld
Bob is worth praying for, and he Ger
tainly needs it.

down a decision in the case Alpheus
Vaughan. convicted and sentenced to
be hanged for the murder of John
and Willie Litser in Lander county in
December. 1898. The decision grants
a new trial to the defendant
As the feeling against Vaughan is
said to be very high in Lander county
it is quite probably that change Of
venue will have to be secured for his
second trial In such case it is very
likely to be tried at this place.
The evidence at the trial of Vaughan
showed that the killing Of the Litser
boys was one of the most willful and
cruel crimes in the history Of the
State. The murderer himself eX-
presses no feeling OF regret, but prides
