why We Failed to See En-.

Night before last fifty young people
from the south side rented team and
sleigh to take them to Kenosha. A
start was made from the Junction.
When a short distance out some of the
young men in the party proceeded to
josh the driver. He stood it for a
while, then became angry and refused
to go further, turned back and dumped
the crowd out at the Junction. Efforts
were made to secure another rig, but
some one discovered that the eatables
were stolen and the trip was aban-

Uncle Josiah's Habit of Exagg Grafton Too
Deeply Rooted for Eradication.
There lived in Cambridge. Ind, a
wellknown old gentleman by the
name of Josiah Nixon, who in early
boyhood had acquired the habit of
gross exaggeration. The habit had
grown upon him so that he believed
that everything he said was the truth
no matter how great the exaggera
ton. After he had reached the tIpe
old age Of three score and ter some
of the deacons in the church thought
his popularity was 1oc much like
lying to pass unnoticed, and it was
decided, after a great deal of consid-

be churched. One evening, while he
was seated in from of his door tell

about the way pioneers had to live,
the gate opened and the delegation
of deacons filed in.

Sundays bark days on that account,

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.

tine Thick Water.

A Easy Matter to Float ON the Surface of
the Thick Water.
The Dead sea, or more properly the
Salt sea. is also called in Scripture the
sea Of the Arabah; in the Apocrypa, the
Sodomitish sea;in the Talmudical books,
sea of Salt and sea Of Sodom. The
name Dead sea seems to have been first
used in Greek, and the Arabic name is
Bar Lut or the sea of Lot. 1t has a
length varying from 40 to 46 miles and
is only about three miles across at its
broadcast part.
From the analysis of the United States
expedition it appears that each gallon
of the water, weighing 1917 pounds,
contains nearly 315 pounds g. 319) of
matter in solution, al immense quantity
IN view of the fact that sea water,
weighing 101 pounds per gallon, con-
tains less than one-half pound. OF this
81 pounds nearly a pound is common
salt Chloride of sodiuml, about two
pounds chloride Of magnesium and less
than one-half pound chloride of calcium
{muriate Of lime). There does not ap-
pear to be anything about it inimical to
life, and the story of a recent tourist
confirms this. He says:
"As for the Dead sea, it will, in con-
tradiction of the name, forever preserve
a green and living memory in my mind.

A Vienna professor gives it as his
opinion, after much research on the
subject. that all delicate persons and
those who suffer from nervousness
should, never remain long in a room
lighted by electric lights, its effect ON
the nervous system being such that aft
or awhile they generally become uneasy
and depressed and find it impossible
to concentrate the attention for any
length of time. Young persons, on the
contrary, and those with strong nerves
find the influence of the light extremely
beneficial, especially when the brain is
overworked and tired, the effect being
much the same as that of strong coffee
Il. g., increased activity of the nerv-
Gus system.

Women are not. good detectives, -

ON being asked his opinion. .'To begin

by prejudices, favors or sympathies, re-
CARELESS of facts.
AS a detective she is sometimes a
success in entrapping a man, but her
work generally ends in a blunder which
betrays her. She. is p~ersevering only
when moved by passion. She does not
look at q case dispassionately. She at
ono decides that he or she is guilty or
innocent and works on that theory.
"A woman enjoys the mysterious, and
