He Wa. an old r.m,,v r,,..,

An old man was leading a thin old
horse across the common in the north
ern part OF the city, when a passer-by
asked him where he was going.

the poor beast, he answered.

a Young KniRht.

This story of practical beueyolence
"a told by the Bible Reader:
1t was a cold morning in early spring
in Chicago. A little old man stood ON
the corner OF Clark and Randolph
streets selling newspapers
He was thinly clad and kept trlttipg
up and down trying to keep warm. ard
bis voice was hoarse from cold. and
passers-by could hardly hear him.
Some boys jeered and laughed at him
but one, about IL years old, rather bet
ter dressed than tho rest. after looking
at him for few moments, walked ND TO
him and said:
Il will shout for you"
The old man thought the boy was
making fun of him, but the boy began
to call out
Times. Herald, Tribune. News" in
a clear voice, which attracted so MAN.
customers, that in little while the old
man sold his stock.
He offered to pay his youthful mart
ner, but the boy would take nothing
and went off with smiling face.

The Car Wheel pnzZle.

81 had question put to me the other
day that was unable to answer" said
a man who stood watching a cable car
60 abruptly around the curve at Thir-
teenth street and Grand avenue.
Here is what puzzles me: The
wheels of the car are firmly fastened to
the axles, and the wheels can't turn
unless the axles turn. The outer rail
of curve is longer than the inner
.'ail. Does the outer wheel turn faster
than the inner wheel, or does the latter
slip?"
The other man had once been in the
railway business, and he quickly re-
piled: That's easy. IL you'll examine
closely you'll see that the wheels. in
stead of being perfectly fiat on the rim.

ference smaller than the inside cir
conference. Whom a car turns curve
ii has tendency TO go off at a tangent,
or in other words, to jump the track,
which ii would do were il not for the
flange on the inside of the outer whee!
which presses closely against the rail
The rail touches the inner wheel quite
a distance from the ilange. The result
Is that the diameter of the outer wheel
where 1t rests upon the rail is greater
than that of the inner wheel. This diff
ference in diameter equalizes the differ
ence in the length of the curved rails.
Both wheels revolye with the same
speed at their aXles, but the outer
wheel traverses greater distance, be-
cause its diameter from the axle to the
point of contact with the rail is
greater. kansas City Star.

1t is difficult to summon before the i'm

on this spot during three revolutions
Here in the spring of 1871 the COM

The Dancing Men.

The dancing man is luxury at fash
ionable summer resorts which is be-
coming more and more rare every sea-
son, and the landlord who can adver-
tise the required quantity of this de-
sired article has financial success as
sured in advance. Dancing is such a
lot Of useless eXertion to the modern
young man taxed TO the utmost with
all sorts and conditions of athletics.
To be sure he can sit up until morn
ing drinking whisky and soda, devour
no end of champagne suppers and play
ball, tennis and ride, row and run UNI
til it is a wonder that he lives at all,
but dancing that is too laborious
for his physical being. and altogether
too frivolous for his superior ideas Of
amusement.

inscriptions toward which we pressed
our candles while eager eyes read
what seemed TO be the messages OF the
dead 10 the living.
The words written on these mortua-
ry walls during the 18th century were
of a philosophical cast and might have
come from Diderot or Franklin. There
were solemn exhortations to respect
the tomb and thereby respect the dead.
But what seemed to be the later In
scriptions were very largely sentences
from the Psalms and from the new tes-
lament. A walk through these cata-
combs makes death SEINE greater fact
than would be suggested by ride
over the field of Waterloo or Sedan.
Most of my companions were In mer-
ny mood and company OF French
students kept up their loud singing OF
very lively airs through much OF our
journey.
Leaving, without reluctance, the
quarries, the sepulchers and the dark
ness made visible, l drove to that mon
ument of municipal splendor, the new
Hotel de Vile, the town hall OF the
French capital. passing en- route the
portals and towers of Notre Dame.
This church grows to be more beauti-
full with repeated observations. 1t has
not the massiveness of many other ca
thedrals, but there are points of view
from which the sculptures of the IA
cade appear as rich, delicate and noble
as any other work of the Gothic chisel.
But while Notre Dame carries one
back to the twelfth century, the Hotel
de Vile belongs to the close of the
nineteenth. 1t is one of the most cop
iously adorned structures of the French
renaissance style TO be found in the
world. The history of France may be
read in its innumerable statues. All
about it is so fresh and bright that

The Rev. Father John himself lays
no claim to any power. He does assert
that half hour in fervent prayer every
night will suffice to keep person spir-
itually healthy and happy. even when
the prayer is forced. in seasons OF cold
heartedness. Nevertheless, he has been
credited with not only cures but the
power of prophecy.
The Rev. Father John is in no wise
remarkable in appearance, except that
his blue eyes are piercing to a degree,
and appear to have the power to look
into ones very soul and read what Is
there. He is a simple, straightforward
profoundly devout man, who believes
unquestionably in the power OF prayer
His firm faith encourages sufferers, IN
spires the weak of heart and morals
stirs up the rich to give large sums OF
money by which the poor profit, and
which they would not otherwise give
at all, in all probability. The Rev.
Father John himself derives no adj
vantages from either money or aristo-
cratic friends.
He gives without asking whatever
sum he may happen to have in his
pocket; or his mode of operation is so
nearly that that it may fairly be de-
scribed in these general terms. The
indisputable service which Father John
renders is that he rouscs sluggish
hearts, souls, consciences TO action.
more or less vigorous; that he puts into
the sick the desire and courage to live
which, as any doctor will admit is gen.
era''y half the battle. In that sense.
he probably does effect many cures
whole or partial.
On another occasion three young men
made up their minds to have some fun
cut OF the respected priest, and TO de-
ceive him, with the object of running
his reputation for penetration. One OF
them went to the Rev. Father John anu
asked him to come and pray beside his
dying friend. The Rev. Father Johh
did not refuse. but he said beforehand
You are trifling with God" On enter
ing the room he found the SECOND
scamp writing on the bed in apparent
agonies, while number three was wall
ing and lamenting. The Rev. Father
John took a good look at the room
(where there was no holy picture) ana
at them; lnelt down, crossed himself
and said Lord. deal with tf,'m ac-
cording to their faith. Amen" Then
he quickly left the room. But when the
imaginary invalid attempted to rise
from the bed he found himself rear!
and seriously Ill with a nervous attack
IL was only after the jokers had dohe
penance and been we'll lectured by 'ne
Rev. Father John that she sick man re-

About the Ant.

The ant is supplied, of course, with
the rudiments of nervous system; but
it is totally devoid of a cerebrum and,
therefore, of an organ of consciousness.
Nevertheless it exhibits many Of the
psychical powers of man. such as build
ing a place of refuge, providing homes,
food, protection against enemies, MAX
ing war, holding slaves. having caste
distinction, etc. They exhibit a re-
markable sagacity in treating their
wounded, as do the wounded extraordi-
nary powers of recovering from
wounds. Latville cut the antennae of
an ant, whereupon other ants came
and covered the wound with a viscid
fluid secreted in their mouths. More
over, ants make use of ambulances in
battle and were probably the first to in
vent that contrivance for transferring
the wounded
