Abraham could fnd more than ten

is very wonderful if He will save a
whole city full for the sake of ten
good men. Maybe that is why He
doesent rain fire and birthstone on the
wicked now. 1t might do harm to
the righteous. The ungodly ought to
give Christians credit for that. IF
the wicked people Of this world were
all punched in one country and not a
good man in it, how long, I wonder,
would the storm stay off? How long
would the wicked stay there if they

Slow Poison.

are now being consumed-and the
rate is steadily increasing-the effect
will be decidedly apparent in the next
generation of mankind. The cigar
cite is a form of slow poison which,
while it may not result in death must
necessarily leave it's effects upon the
human system. You may not be-

are shut up in the case where ciga-
rettes are kept they will die in less

cigar case, just out of curiosity, and
they show not the slightest evidence
of discomfort. philadelphia Record.

The other two fed, and the spy ran
into the city. When he presented
himself before the officer in command
his dispatches and musket caps in
tact, it was found that he had on his
body the marks of seventeen bullets.
This adventure is we'll authenticated.
As to the numerous fatalities" in
which Fontaine appeared as the CEN
trail figure some of them had their lu-
dicrous side. John Eston Cooke, the
writer of a very popular series Of Con-
federate historical novels, was a com.
panion Of Fontaine during the wal
and used him, under various names,
as a character in his novels. In
''Mohun" Fcntaine is sketched in the
character Of Night Hawk. In "Sur-
ry of Eagles Nest" he has the name
Of Farley. C%uriously enough, the
novelist in this work states as an his
torical fact that Fontaine was killed
at Petersburg, which proves only that
Fontaine was such a skillful actor as
to deceive his closest friends.
"It is true, though" Fontaine said
to the writer, chat at Petersburg T
was wounded in a hot skirmish en-
gagement, and, being unable tc run
away, I simulated death when the
Federals overran the ground on which
I lay. When it was learned in my
company that lBas dead one Of the
officers sent off at once for q coffin in
which to bury me About the cine
the coffin arrived in camp, I showed
up, too. That interfered with the fu-
neral. But next day, in the course Of
a. general engagement, that officer
who had displayed such friendship
for me received a fatal wound, and the
remains of the poor fellow were sent
home in the coffin he had ordered for
me-"
It was while on his mission to
Vicksburg that Fontaine was honored
with unlimited credit upon the Con-
federacy. 1t was in the shape OF an
order signed by T. 0. Minis, the chief
quartermaster Of the val department.,
and read:
"The Confederate States Treasurer
will honor any draft presented him
signed by Lamar Fontaine."
Perhaps in all the history Of war
fare no such credit was ever before
reposed in a private soldier. Fontaine
has won honors in literature. He is
a popular writer Of war sketches, and
a recent burlesque article on the Vene-
zuelean controversy, in which he I'M
dertook to express the patriotism Of
the Confederate veteran toward che
Stars and Stripes, evoked a half-col-
umn editorial article from the Lone
Times. But as a writer he is N
widely known by the poem, "QuieS
Along the Potomac" While the
credit for this composition has been
claimed by several others and publicly
accorded to a few, those who are aware
of Fontaine's claim and the indisputa-
BILE evidence upon which it rests no
longer entertain any doubt about lis
good title to the authorship.

far succeeded in the endeavor, as to
well-nigh wreck this republic; but
there are signs of an awakening to a
better view.-Tennessee Methodist.
Never fight the devil with your own
weapons or you will surely fail in the
conflict. He will overmatch your best
arguments, outwit your shrewdest
policy, and withstand and wear out all

Unless a woman is quite willing to
have some one open her letters for
her all her life, she should never get
married.
If women spent as much time in
keeping their husband as girls spend
in getting them, there would be less
complaint of the faithlessness Of
men.
There are many of the qualities Of
a girl in the women to admire, and
many of the qualities of a woman in

A Talk on Bird Sense.

her own experience and observations.
ut has been generally thought"
she said, "that birds know'everything
instinctively, almost as soon as they
are born. That is far from being the
case. They have to learn and be
taught most Of the accomplishments
which they are to possess, just as
children are obliged to pursue q curse
of education. In the first place, they
must be taught how to eat. When
the parents bring them food for the
first time they have to be shown how
to take it. The fear which birds have
Of human beings is an acquired senti-
ment. Young nestlings do not shcw
it. The fact that birds are taught to
sing has often been proved. They
have been taken as soon as Matched
and put into the nest of another
species. By the time they are grown
they have learned the song of their
foster-parents, and never sing a note
of their natural melody. Even grown
birds frequently teach themselves the
songs of other varieties. An English
sparrow in Brooklyn, which had been
hurt 80 that it was unable to fly, was
adopted by a family who owned a
canary. I have myself gone to the
house and heard every note Of the
canary's song reproduced by the wild
little stranger. 1t was even sweeter
than the original, for the sparrow had
naturally a pleasanter voice"
Mrs. Miller says that great attention
is given by the parent birds to the
proper education Of the nestlings in
the matter of flying. The mother and
father often fly above the nest in cir
Giles, calling meanwhile with a peculiar
note. Finally the little ones are per-
suaded to try, and these exercises are
repeated several times a day. It is a
mistaken idea, she says, to suppose
that the young birds separate from
their parents as soon as they leave the
nest. On the contrary, the family
keep together all summer and winter,
until the following spring, and the
children often assist the father and
mother in their care of a second brood.
Mrs. Miller told some experiments
made by Prof. Lloyd Morgan Of Eng
land in raising birds from the egg
without the care Of the mother. He
discovered that the little orphans were
absolutely ignorant of what was suit
able for their food, and would as o
peck at the lighted end Of a cigarette
as at anything more wholesome. They
did not know how to drink, either,
and he was obliged to force water into.
their mouths and teach them that it
was something to be swallowed. From
these Investigations he drew many
proofs of the amount of knowledge
which the bird under natural condi-
tions gains from limitations and in
struction.-New York Tribune.

name that has been applied to him
the electrical Wizard"-for he has
just made a discovery that will prove
of i~ncalculable aid in working out tile
practical uses of the Rentgen rays.
Mr.. Edison got his tubes perfected
some time ago so that he could depend
on them, but he was puzzled by the
limitations of the Photographic plate.
He becamed convinced that the Auores-
cent theory was the only practical one
to work on, on account of the great
saving of time, as no long exposures
were necessary, and no need for the
slow process Of developing the plate
before the result could be ascertained.
he therefore began an exhaustive eI-
animation of chemicals. OF these be

the country.
Each was put to the test of its igni-
ton, feasibility and huorescent quail
ties. More than 1900 chemicals and
chemical compounds were experiment.
ed with before the one desired was
found. It was a compound which had
been made for Mr.. Edison by his
chemist six years ago, and had been
forgotten.
It is we'll known that the intensity
of the effect of the K rays varies with
the square of the distance, so that the
compound that would prove satisfac.
tory at a long distance from the tube
must be of great sensitiveness. To
the great delight Of MI. Edison thin
new substance was found to be Sill;
times as sentives, both a. to distance
and intensity, as the Bariun platins.
cyanide, which up to this time, has
been used.
I saw Mr.. Edison last evening, and
he said that the new substance was
not expensive, but was difficult to
make. He had used all he had on
hand in experiments he made on Satur-
day. The results attained were sur-
prising. A box was made with a
screen of the fuorescent compound on
one side, and on the other a peep hole
for the eye. Placing this before the
eye of the observer, it seemed as
though there was no limit to the pene-
tratiVe power of the x rays The
bones of the hand were distinctly seen
through a Pinch plank, then through
four inches, then six inches, and final

word-if not, I will mike it. [ can fix

on like a mask over the face and then

you can move around with it. The
effect is instantaneous and there is no
more waiting for a long exposure, and

for the plate and the plate holder are
done away with entirely, and the OBJ

OLD TRADITIONS.

There is an old tradition that Christ was
born about midnight. From this bells are
rung at midnight on the continent and in
England In Roman Catholic countries it has
long been customary to inaugurate Christ
mas with the celebration of midnight
mass, which is followed by one at dawn,
and another in the morning. 1t was an
old English superstition that on Christmas
Eve the oxen were always to be found on
their knees at midnight; that the cocks
crew; that the cabbage seeded, etc. The
devotion of the oxen was derived from an
old story that an OK and ass, which were in
the stable at the birth of Christ fell on
their knees in suppliant position, and
that cock crew. The custom of singing
carols at Christmas which has passed into
oblivion, is said to have sprung from the
songs OF shepherds and others at the birth
of Christ. The common custom of decorat-
ing houses and churches with evergreens is
derived from a singular belief that sylvan
spirits would flock to those evergreens and
remain there until the coming in Of a
milder season. Holly and ivy are the ever
greens chiefly used in England: they are
also worn about the head, and the phrases
to ''kiss under the rose," and to "whisper
under the mistleto," have reference to this
practice.
