My God. to Thee" DR.. Whitman delivered
an eloquent sermon. taking for his text the
words of Caleb to the 1sraelites Let us
get up at once and possess the land, for we
we'll able to overcome It," He drew
some very practical lessons from a study Of
the life Of this rugged character, speaking
OF the necessity Of waging warfare against
a marked pessimistic element present in
this generation, discussed the sources of
this pessmism, made strong plea for the
spirit of Caleb in carrying on the fight. and
declared that the outcome of the struggle
was not in doubt.

A Bright Postscript.

Bessie Chandler, the writer of stories and
verses for children. is a daughter of Com
modore Chandler of the navy. At one time
in their family they had little negro boy
who was not very busy. and spent his spare
time idling about the rooms where the ladies
sat. They would puzzle their wits to keep
the boy at work. One day Mrs. Chandler
was busy and sent Johnny into the next
room. You may take your slate and PEN

boy obeyed. By and by there came a shrill
call: please. missus, Use got it wroted. 1t
says: Dear MissuS Kin l go down to the
tennis court and see them play tennis? Re
spectfully yours. johnny" Mrs. Chandler
was not ready to admit him as yet, so she
replied: "Oh. well, write me a postscript
Again a silence, so prolonged that finally
she went into the room to investigate. There
was no boy there. The slate lay on the

this addition: "P. 81 have went"

A Crew of Monks


From the London Spectator.
There is a vessel sailing under the Turk
ish flag which is manned entirely by monks
1t is called the Holy Prophet lila tElijah).
and is of about 800 tons burden. The can
tain is a Jeromonarch, a monk ranking
higher than friar. and all the sailors are
expert seamen. as we'll as monks or broth
ers. The pilot, Father Iraklij QHeracIius,,
has sailed over all the oceans, having cir
cumnavigated the glohe. The entire crew
speak both Russian ami Greek and service
on the ship alternates with services in the
little church in the forecastle. One of the
most curious sights connected with The shin
is that of the monks in their religious
costumes climbing up the ratlines and out
on the yardarm, reefing sails and doing
other work aloft.

THE n RAY AND FARO.
An Amusing Story which May he
True Otherwise.

rom tolllers Week
An amusing story is told In connection
with Mr.. Edison and his experiments with
the Y rays. II deals with the proposition
of a gambler TO make a deal with the wiz
ard, by the terms of which the latter would
untertake TO devise some means of apply
ing the new discovery TO the elusive game
OF poker. In other words he wanted de-
vice by which he could Look through the
cards. The following letter is said to have
been received by Mr.. Edison:
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison, Menlo Park
y. dear Sir: l write you 10 know If you
can make me an H-ray apparatus for play
ing against faro banks. 1 would like TO
have 1t so could wear it on my body. and

Keep this TO yourself. If you can't make
It.. will you be kind enough to give me Pro-
lessor Roentsen's address. Please let me

This story may not be absolutely true;
but, at least, it has the merit of being we'll
told.

A new reason why the new woman must

Girls high School at Oakland, Cal. She
must either abandon corsets one Of the
most promising professions, that embracing

plain. One or the other must be abandoned
the governors Of the school say.
An electrical department was added to
the school some time ago. and a course Of
electricity established. The poor professor
in charge has had a dreadful time. During
the lessons the delicate instruments have
played him all sorts Of tricks and all his
experiments have been of doubtful success
EVERY once in while girl would step up
to tell what she had learned about volts,
ohms and amperes, and Immediately the
gaivanometers would gyrate wildly and the
needles on the various dials would wob-

Faraday would go to smash, and the find

strangely lost. Then the professor knew
the student beside him had on a high grade
corset with ribs of finest steel. The instru-
ments We're not affected by the presence of
some students, beGahse they wore health
waists of some sort and were braced with
Whalebone or some substitute for STEEL
FINALLY Prof Meads was obliged to issue
a rule barring corsetsd girls from the cleo
trical department. and the governors in
dorsed the rule. 1t might seem to be a rule
difficult to enforce aid delicate to handle
But Prof. Meads finds it easy. In entering
the electrical department the girls have to
