MILK Jars.

Milk jars, or bottles, now so common
" used. were introduced about Is years
ago. A gentleman farmer of Litchfield,
Conn, man ef wealth, who owned
blooded COWS, finding with the increase
of his stock his milk supply growing
beyond his own needs, decided to sell
the surplus He desired to put up this
milk in some distinctive form, and he
came to New York to the headquarters
hero of glass works and asked to have
got up for him some kind of glass
package that would be suitable for the
purpose and convenient for shipping A
jar was produced that was substantially
similar in form to the one now III use.
The first jars were provided with glas:
shoppers. These were found to break toe
easily, and IA metal stopper was soor
substituted.
This form of package for milk at onct
became popular The owner of the farm
for which the milk jar was first made
turned his farm over to stock company
which increased its production greatly.
1t still remains largo establishment
and one whose dairy products are wei
known.
Many other milk producers adopted
the milk jar, and its general use extend
ed rapidly Probably at least rs pc
cent of the milk for family use is deliv
cred now in bottles. There are million
of bottles i'll constant use, and tho mum
Der produced annually to make good tn

Glass Collins.

Local undertakers are interested in
the proposition of an Indiana company
to manufacture glass collins on large
scale. George f. Kimball, the plate
glass manufacturer, states that the idea
is entirely practicable, and that collins
can be made from glass much more
cheaply than from wood. Mr.. Kimball
thought that such collins could be con-
structed in the cheaper grades for not
more than so cents running foot COT
fins made from glass would be much
more durable than metallic baskets, and
their extreme cheapness would cause
their adoption extensively in cases where
death is due to contagious I cases. in
which the law requires Theoretically
sealed casket. A new method of manu-
featuring glass whereby it is made to re-
semble wood will enable the manufac-
turer to lend infinite variety to his prod

The vigesimal system.

One of the facts presented by Profess
or Conant in his interesting volume,
1.-The Number Concept, " is the way Gel
tic races have held ON to the vigesimal
system, or Enumeration having 30 as a
basis. 1t is found In old Irish, Welsh.
Gaelic, Manx and Breton. When, how
ever, 1000 is reached, then comes in the
Latin, as if the effects of Roman con-
quest were visible, for in Irish, Gaelic
and Breton mile" or "mil' is 1000.
Another popularity is that in French
the persistence of the vigesimal system
is visible. The French so is uuatre-
yingt, four times 30, and their 90 is
quatre-vingt-dix or four times 20, with
10 added In old French soixante for 90
does not appear. 1t was treis VIM, or
three times 30. One hundred and TWEEN
ty was six vinz-that is, six times 90
and sept VIM, or seven times 90, was
140. In Africa the vigesimal system is
rare, but in Asia it is not uncommon,
and is in use in northern Siberia

calls him T'Unweariod. Men may be-
come weary of the petitions and re-
quests of their friends, but God is so
willing to help His own that He never
wearies He has said through Christ
ASK and ye shall receive; seek and ye

unto you" And again Christ has told
us that His Heavenly Father is more
willing to give His Spirit to those that
ask Him than earthly parents are to
give good gifts to their children.
God has the power God is willing 1t

Has 1t Evoluted From the Brutal Yell
Over Tortured Enemy2
Just as the hoof of the horse is the
remnant of an original five toes, just as
the pineal gland in man is now said to
be the survival of a prehistoric eye on
the top of the head, so, perhaps, this
levity in regard to particular ailments
Tin others) may be the descendant of an
aboriginal ferooity in man. 1t is q well
known theory that what we call humor
arose from the same source; that the
first human laugh that ever woke the
astonished echoes of gloomy primeval
forests was not an expression of mirth,
but exultation over the misery of q
tortured enemy.
There is to this day something ter
rible in laughter The laugh of madness
or Of cruelty is sound more awful than
that of the bitterest lamentations.
By means of that strange monograph
that we call literature we can listen
even now to the laughter of the dead,
to the hearty outlaws or cynical litter

curious in such matters we can probe
into the nature Of the changes that have
passed over the fashion of mems humor
For it has been said, not without the
support of weighty cumulative evidence,
that, as we penetrate further into the
past, we find the sense of humor de-
pending always more obviously and
solely upon the enjoyment Of the pain,
misfortune, modification or embarrass
ment of others. The sense of superiority
was the sense of humor in our ancestors
or, in other words, vanity lay at the
root Of this, as of most other attributes
of our bumptious speciesl
Putting ear to our monograph, WI
catch the echoes Of strange and merry
tumult; boisterous, cruel, often brutal
yet with here and there tender cadenc
from some solitary voice; and present.,
this lonely note grows stronger AM
sweeter, as we travel slowly toward on

merrimept, we can hear the soft under
murmur of pity. Does tho picture nc

Purpose.

A sunbeam sent out on mission
Came down to the earth in its flight
1t thought not to question the order,
But sped on the wings of the light.
1t found in tho crest of a snowdrift
A white flake and quick to it flew,
And then not a moment it fingered
Nor wondered what others might do,
But down on the snowfake's soft bosom
It's glow and its warmth did it lay
And kissed the white wings Of the beauty
Until they were melted away.
When, lol In tho place Of the snowflake
A drop of pure water hung there
And just for moment reflected
The face Of the sunbeam so fair.
Then dropped to the rill as it rippled
And joined with the thousands in streams
Which flowed that day from the snowdrift-
The worl; of the countless sunbeams.
at length the great snowdrift was melted,
It's race to tho sea had begun,
And up in its place sprang sweet flowers
Behold what the sunbeams had donei

The Bible teens with precious prom
Uses Of God to His people The most
precious thing about all these promises
is the absolute certainty that they will
be fulfilled. God Is not man, that
He should lie; neither the Son Of Man,
that He should repent. Somoapromises
are unconditional, and they will be un-
conditionally fulfilled. Other promises
are conditional, and they are absolutely
certain of fulfillment if tho conditions
are fulfilled.
The Importance of claiming the prom

we claim them they will not be fulfilled

She smiled and flushed and denied it,

But by her hearts deep contentment
She knew that he thought it true,
And they danced to the thrilling music
Oh, life was rapture thenl-
When she was the prettiest girl in town,
And he was the first of menl
They parted with anguished sorrow;
Time cleared the clouded sky,
But at last nights ball she lived again
In the charmed days gone by

And she heard him say as they passed her,
"You're the prettiest girl in town.

The right hand of the Russian painter
Vereschagin is thumbless. His right
thumb was bitten by leopard some
years ago and had to be amputated. The
middle finger also of his right hand is
famed and useless as the result of shot
wound which the artist received ON the
battlefield. More than this, the small
bones of the center of his right hand
were also partially shattered by a fall on
the Russian steppes, and his right arm
was broken in the same accident. New

hand that Vereschagin paints his Won

Missed the Loveliest Jewel.

A story of the carnival shows that an
age of chivalry can coexist with an age
of robbery. Nine Charlotte T, a
Halles saleswoman and, moreover, a
widow, went out, as was only natural,
to have a look at the procession. She
found on her return that her jewels had
been stolen in her absence, and as the
Jewels were worth $500 it was a serious
loss. For all ills, however, there are
compensations, and ON the table the
thief had left note, brief indeed, but

A Touchdown Argument For the Early
to Rise Scotchman.

fttHe SCOJcnmhns
An old Scotchman had roommate in
New York who was not fond of early
rising and never stirred from his bed UNI
til the breakfast bell rang. The older
man considered it his duty to warn the
young man against the effects Of indo-
lence, and at the same time to impart
religious instruction to him.
Every morning the Scotchman arose
at O'Clock, shaved himself and when
completely dressed shook his young
friend and addressed him in this man
ner:
''Now, lad, you see what it is to gain
time. Here am dressed and ready for
breakfast, with half an hour in which
to read chapter in the Bible and to
commit verse to memory which may
serve useful purpose during the day.
Now l shall open the good book Mt ran
dom and read any verse on which my
eye chances to light, and think it prob
able that the verse will have some spe-
cial application for the events of the
day. Meanwhile, there you are, with
barely enough time to dress for break
fast and not minute to spare fo. good
reflection"
For week or more this address was
repeated every morning with little vari-
alton, and the chance passage read aloud.
Then the young man gave the Scotch
man dose of his own medicine
1t was cold morning when the
Scotchman, wearied by late hours the
previous night, oversight. The younger
roommate arose softly, dressed himself
quickly and aroused him.
Here i am, began the convert to
the new gospel of early rising, sin COM
plete order for breakfast and ready to
turn to verse in the good book which
may serve me useful turn during the
day"
well DONE" said the Scotchman,
rubbing his hands
'You know, too, continued the
young man, without smile ON his face,
that ones hands may be directed by
something that is not blind chance to a
verse which may be highly significant. 3"
Certainly, y said the Scotchman,
pleased to perceive that his lesson had
been aptly learned by the pupil. "Open
the book and read the first passage which
your eye catches. +"
The young man opened the book, and
without pause or smile read the fol-
lowing verse from Proverbs:
He that blesseth his friend with
loud voice, rising early in the morning,
it shall be counted curse to him. -
The serious Scotchman was taken back
so completely by the sentiment that he
demanded the book and had to read the
verse through his spectacles before he
could believe that his companion was
not deceiving him.
well, lad" he remarked gravely,
81 suppose it was meant for my benefit.
