The word -etiquette" is Anglo

what different meaning from 1t,
present one. 1t formerly meant sim

seemed that the word came to be an.

Insurance against the dishonesty Of
employees is a recognized feature OF
modern commercial life. One of the
great corporations carrying on this bust
ness published an estimate Of the
amount lost in the year 1894 by embez-
clement and defalcatlon. The total loss
for the year was put at the enormous
sum of SOS, 100000. Immense as this
sum Is, It does not include the losses,
undoubtedly large In the aggregate,
which have been made public
by the individuals or firms defrauded.
1t is far from encouraging TO note also
that this estimate shows an increase Of
about $1,000. 900 over the previous year.
Most OF this kind Of stealing is done
by men of good education, and at least
fair opportunities for honest success.
The real cause Is the too prevalent
haste to gain wealth and enjoy life
without hard work-to get something
for nothing.
One OF the most valuable lessons that
ean be learned Is that everything worth
having must be earned by steady, hon
st effort. Henry Ward Beecher once
-eceived a letter from a lad who wanted
10 find an easy berth" Mr.. Beecher
n reply, after warning the boy to avoid
the law, medicine, the ministry, trade

Discovered by Chance

Professor Roentgen's discovery OF
the Photographic power OF the kathode
ray was due to au accident. In ex-
perimenting with a Crookes tube
through which a strong current was
passing. but which was covered with
a cloth, he happened to bring his hand
between the tube end some sensitized
Photographic paper. Finding lines on
the paper for which he could not ac-
count. he hunted for the cause, and
found that the bones Of his hand had
been reproduced by the rays from the
tube. In repeating his experiments re-
Gently before the Emperor William,
the Wurzburg professor explained that
he had not yet solved the tfecFy-at
the phenomenon, and called the rays
Professionally X-rays. In the first ex.
periments the rays did not produce
objects hidden by solid matter thicker
than one inch, but since then Roentgen
Is said to have obtained pictures taken
through aluminium plates a centimeter
and a half thick, and also through two
sets Of books. and at Pesth parts Of
the human body larger than the hand
have been taken.
There Ia no doubt about the genuine
hess Of the phenomena discovered,
Roentgen's photographs nave been ex'
amined by Professor Boitzmann, OF
Vienna, who says the discovery opens
up a new epoch in the history of sci
enee. The experiments have been re
peated successfully, with the same re
suits, by Professor Klupathy, at Buda'
pesth, Domalip, at Prague; Pfandlel
and Czermak, at Gratz, and in Lon
don. Roentgen says that not only
are the x-rays not refracted by glas;
lenses or prisms, or in passing through
water, but that they have no influences
on the most sensitive magnetic instru
ments, and develop no heat.

the free coinage of silver more to my sat
