AYERS PILLS
A Judges witty wife.

A distinguished American Judge has
a habit which is not altogether uncom-
mon-he frequently brings friends
home to dinner quite unexpectedly.
This habit is certainly hospitable, but
it is not popular with wives. One
court day the judge invited a number
Of his legal brethren to dine with him,
serenely oblivious Of the fact that his
wife was totally unprepared for such
an incursion. The lady, however, was
equal to the occasion. She did not fuss
and frown and make things unpleasant
all around. On the contrary, she ac-
copied the situation with a good grace
and made the best of it. The modest
meal was served as promptly as pos
sible and though 1t was not a sumptu-
Gus banquet 1t was at least agreeable
to guests and host. When dinner was
over, just before leaving the gentlemen
to their wine and cigars, the lady rose
and said: Gentlemen, 1 wish to say
one word. You have dined today with
the Judge; will you do me the honor
of dining tomorrow with me?" A
chorus Of applause greeted this speech
and next day the lady welcomed her
husbands friends to a dinner worthy
Of such an accomplished hostess.-Buf-

What Cathode Means.

Let us first see what we mean by the
term cathode. If we should break ths,
tiny filament of an Edison incandescent
lamp at the middle of the glowing loop
the light would go out. If, now, we
connect the two ends of the broken fla
ment to the poles Of battery Of great
many thousand voltaic cells, such as
are commonly used to ring house bells,
we should be able to light the lamp
again, not by incandescence, but by a
feeble glow which pervades the whole
bulb. The ends of the broken filament
would glow-and the glow at one end OF
the fllament would be different in ap-
pearance from that Of the other. The
broken filament, by means of which the
electrical energy enters the bulb, La
called the anode and the filament by
means of which, in ordinary language.
1t leaves the bulb is called the cathode
Now, the great popularity of the ca
thode rays is this-they seem to be In
dependent Of the position of the anode
and they stream out from the cathode

ing the waist Of the inclosing vessel

again. Alden, the leader, like most pi O.

announcements that must exceedingly
please book lovers. One of his glad sur

of Holmes "Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table," reduced in price from $500 to IS
cents, though hardly at all inferior to the
