Crust of the Earth.

The crust of the earth, according
to Professor John Mines opinion,
is in a constant state of agitation
earth movements being experienced
at all times and in all landslide
greatest European crust agitation
having its seat in Germany, Japan
occupying a similar position in Asia.
In both Germany and Japan tide
like movement too great to be pro-
duced by lunar attractions has been
observed, the ground being gently
lifted every "a hours and sometimes
twice, and in all cases the buildings,
trees, etc., stand slightly inclined,
like cornstalks in gentle and steady
breeze-in short, the earth is con-
stantly breathing, as it were, the
crust making each respiration by a
gentle rising and falling, similar to
that of the chest in air breathing
animals. A certain per cent of this
earth crust disturbance is believed
to be due to conditions similar to
those which bring about earth
quakes, this being regarded as espe-
cially the fact in respect to Japan,
where it has been traced to the con-
tinual opening and closing of the
broken strata in the main range of
the mountains.

This Boy win Bear watching

There is a boy in Bradford who
should rival Lord Russell of Killo-
wen as a cross examiner when he
grows up. In the police court there
he and four Others were charged
with stone throwing, and he thus
cross examined the constable:
"How many windows did you say
were broken?"
-Four"
And how many stones did you
find inside?"
"Three.
But how can you charge five boys
with breaking four windows with
three stones?"
Given boys, stones, and windows,
almost anything might happen, but
the query puzzled the policeman and
the boys got off-London Tit-Bits.

sunday trading In the Past.

/ Il may safely be asserted that
from the time of the Conqueror
| (1066 10S7) Sunday trading received
much attention. In early ages mar
kets and fairs were held on Sundays,
and frequently in the churchyards.
In 1906 the inhabitants of Cocker
mouth presented petition to par
lament, as their market was fast
declining through the inhabitants
of Crosthwaite dealing in corn, flour,
beans, flesh, fish, at their church on
Sundays, and that thereby they
were unable to pay their tolls to the
king Edward y. An order was is
sued for closing the church market
at Crosthwaite.
AT Bradford, Yorkshire, during
the same reign, the market was held
on Sunday, doubtless in the church
yard. The toll yielded f3 per annum.
In 1885 a statute was passed enact
ing that henoeforth neither fairs
nor markets be held in churchyards,
for the honor of the church.
In 1879 market was granted to
the town of Sedgefeld, Durham, to
be held on Friday, but was soon
changed to Sunday.
In 1867 tho archbishopsof Canter-
bury and York delivered charges di-
reoting, among other things, that
'we firmly forbid any one to keep
a market in the churches, the porch
es and the cemeteries thereunto be-
longing or other holy places on the
Lords day or other holy festivals. "

citizen who was immersed can testi-

soon as the minister tried to put
the citizens head under the water.
The citizen apparently did not OBJ

his ears, but further, or rather deep
er, he did not wish to go. Finally,
as last resort, the minister placed
his hand on his head and began to
bear down. AS he did so the citi-
zen's mass of hair slipped from his
head and the minister found him
self standing with wig in his hand,
while the bald head doomed up con-

One of the Evils of Wealth.

The family of one of the richest
men in New York was visited not

his wife, he found there. "It al

urally everything is left in the hands
of servants. They are supposed to
be most competent, but they are on

deeply interested as the owner
would be. Such a cellar as stands
under that splendid pile never saw

He Moved the Cattle.

Here is an incident in the life of
DIR. Herber Evans, who, about Is
years ago, broke down in health, and
was sent to Buxton with instructions
from his medical adviser not to
preach for Is months. 1t seems that
he had got so downcast at not being
able to preach for such a prolonged
period that he doubted his own DOW
ers OF ever again being of any use.
In this frame of mind he went far
away into the fields one fine Sunday
morning and gave out an old Welsh
hymn at the very top of his voice.
Suddenly the sheep and cattle, which
were quietly browsing by, looked
up and ran to him from all parts of
the field. Herber returned thanks to
Providence that he still had the DOW
or at least of moving cattle and
sheep, and from this point he re-
gained confidence in himself, and
his recovery was rapid. London

HEB IDEAL MALE MATE.
Elizabeth Bisland's Description of the Ma
tional Husband Of America.


Elizabeth Bisland's Description of the Ma
tional Husband Of America.
There is theory that the patient,
unexacting financial agent who is
supposed to typify the genus hus-
band in America--who, like charity,
suffereth long and is kind, thinketh
no evil, and giveth all his goods---is
woman 8 ideal of a mate, but this is
SANDER. The dull submission of
the overladen ass is not the quality
which ordinarily excites feminine
respect.
That brilliant, greedy figure. hung
with jewels, who stands aloft in the
social car, laying the goad upon the
bowed shoulders Of the humble,
overworked married slave who
draws her chariot, is purely a fig
ment evolved out of the notebooks
of shallow foreigners rushing ex-
press through the country to make
q volume of travels.
In reality the American husband
is the most exacting of his kind. He
demands gayety, physical and men,
tai charm, high cultivation of all
her powers, and an infinity of care
fully performed duties from his
wife.
If the American woman is bril-
liant and ornamental it is because
the American husband will put up
with nothing less. In older civiliza-
tions woman finds in married life all
the conditions prepared for her;
rules made which she has only to
obey; a careful code of precedents
which she has only to follow.
Here woman may be within a
period of seven days transported
from country boarding school to
the most conspicuous position in the
land, and without previous training
be called upon to receive embassa-
doris and preside at state dinners.
The husband who elevates his wife
from the washtub in mining camp
to the palace of a millionaire expects
her to create out of the chaos of her
previous experiences an ordered So
cial world between the morning and
the evening of her first day of wealth
and she does it and likes it, and
loudly proclaims that this exacting
creature is the most delightful OK
ample of husband known.
Curiously enough, the real person
is as unlike as possible to the gener-
ally accepted picture of the typical
American husband, with his narrow,
sordid, bank clerk soul, his neglect
ed mind and his cynical estimate of
woman as q fantastic child with an
insane lust for luxury.
Perhaps the typical husbands of
other nations have been as much be-
lied, and the Frenchman is not the
sensualist who thrusts the woman's
pretty babies from her arms into
alien hands in order that her atten-
tons may not for moment be dis
tracted from himself or her labors
diverted from his business.
Perhaps the German wife is not
really an unpaid, contemptuously
treated upper servant or the Eng
lish woman the victim of a .selfsh,
domineering master.
AT all events, but few women find
all the unpleasing characteristics of
the type com bined in their individ-
ual specimens of the national hus-
band. Elizabeth Bisland in North
Review.

RAE MooNsAlNER OF EAor.
He Is Vastly Different From the Wild
Creature Pictured.


Creature Pictured.
He is neither bandit nor q high
wayman, a disturber of the peace,
nor, in respect to formularies other
| than the revenue statutes, law
breaker. Least of all, perhaps, is he
a desperate. Within month of the
present writing traveller ON one of
the Tennessee railways entered the
smoking car of the train. In the
rear seat sat an officer in charge of
a "covey" of moonshiners flushed
by him on the mountain the night
before. There we're IL in the party.
They had yielded without resistance
to one man, and, most singular cir
cumstance of all In the south, the
deputy had not found it necessary to
put them in irons.
At their trial the members of this
party will doubtless plead guilty to
a man, though little hard swearing
would probably clear half of them.
They will beg for mercy or for light
sentences, and those of them who
promise amendment will most likely
never be again brought in on the
same charge, for the mountaineer is
prone to keep his promises.
A venerable judge. in whom ju-
dicial severity is tempered by a gen.
erous admixture of loving kindness
and mercy, and whose humane de-
cisions have made his name a word
to conjure with among thedwellers
in the waste places, tells a story
which emphasizes the promise keep
ing trait in the mountain character.
A hardened sinner of the stills,
whose first and second offenses were
already recorded against him, was
once again brought to book by the
vigilance of the revenue men. As an
old offender, who had neither prom
ised nor repented, it was likely to go
hard with him, and he begged not
for liberty, but for a Communication
of his sentence which would send
him to Jail instead of the peniten-
tiary, promising that so long as the
judge remained upon the bench he
would neither make nor NEEDLE with
illicit whisky.
He won his case and was sent to
Jail for term of IL months. This
was in summer, and six months
later, when the first snow began to
powder the bleak SUBMITS of Chill
howee, the judge received a letter
from the convict. 1t was a simple
hearted petition for Through" Of
ten days, pathetic and eloquent in
its primitive English and quaint
misspelling. Would the good judge
let him off for just ten days? Winter
was coming on, and the wife and
children were alone in the cabin on
the mountain, with no one to make
provision for their wants He would
not overstay the time, and he would
certain shore" come back.
His petition was granted, and,
true to his word, the mountaineer
returned on the tenth day and gave
himself up to the sheriff He served
the remainder of his sentence, and,
after his release, kept his pledge so
long as the judge remained on the
bench. -Lippincott's.

Mrs. RadcliGe,s Successor.

Maturin, the author of Monte
rio, " who died in 1924, was perhaps
the purest representative of the de-
cadent followers of Mrs. Radcliffe.
His appearance and his character
write the epitaph of the extinction
of the school to which he belonged.
When engaged i'll composition, he
placed a black wafer on the center
of his forehead as sign that he
must not be interrupted. Often in
peouniary difficulties, he once bor-
rowed Gao of Lady Morgan. He
spent the money at a reception to
which he invited all his friends. At
the end of large, empty, hired
room was placed dais surmounted
by crimson canopy, under which
sat Mr.. and Mrs. Maturin. Bewick,
who visited him at Dublin in the
early part of the present century,
has left a graphic picture of his APP
pearance. He found Maturin dressed
to receive him, pacing his draw
ing room in elegant full dress, a
splendidly bound book laid open
upon cambria pocket handkerchief
laced round the edges, and scent
ed with eau de cologne-and held
upon both hands; a stylish new
black wig curled over his temples,
his shirt collar reaching half way
up his face, and his attenuated
cheeks rouged up to the very eyes. +"
