WORDS WITHOUT A RHYME.
English Language Contains Several Which
Are Hard To Run Against.

English Language Contains Several which
Are Hard to Run Against.
There are Il dozeu words in the Eng
lish language in everyday use for
which enterprising people have de-
SPARED CT ever finding "A rhyme. Tho
word month, " for example. is one Of
these. SILVER is word it seems
very easy to secure arhyme for but as q
matter of fact, trying To find something
TO rhyme with "silver" nearly drove a
London writer Of verse insane long ago.
AS last resort he advertised in the
newspapers and received but one reply.
1t came from the master Of verbal con-
tortion, w. 5. Gilbert, Sir Arthur Sui
livan's erstwhile partner, who submit
ted the word "chilver. He wasn't
quite clear, he said as to what chill
yer might he, but he had seen the word
in advertisements of sales of farm stock
and had an idea, which is correct, that
it described species of sheep.
Orange" is another word without
rhyme. Gulf" is also without an Eng
lish partner, and "culm" and "cusp"
are alike solitary. Many poets who have
sought in vain for rhymes to revenge"
and "avenge'' will not be appeased
when they learn that but two exist
"penge" and "Stonehenge. "Coif"
is now, happily for versifiers, growing
obsolete, for there is no word which
rhymes with it. "Scarf" has been dar-
ingly linked at the end of line with
half or "calf," but this is practice
to be discouraged. "Scalp" rhymes only
with Alp" but, like babe" and
"astrolabe " it would require much in
genuity to find an excuse for bringing
these words into juxtaposition. False"
has on several occasions, by an abuse of
poetic license, been associated with
'valse, though the correct French pro-
nunciation Of the latter word would de-
stroy the rhyme.
OF the names of places the African
town of Timbuktu has long been ia
nous for being without rhyme. The
nearest success that any poet has ever
attained III this respect was when in
some old verses describing desert hunt
"cassowary" was made to rhyme with
missionary" and "Timbuktu" with
thin buck too. New York Press.

Doing and Being.

The striking characteristic Of this age
is activity. AS soon as one learns to ride
a wheel he becomes n scorcher. In bust
ness it is the ''hustler" who is pointed
to as the successful man. Get there"
is the maxim ever held before the eyes
of the young. Keep up with the pro-
cessionr' Better wear out than rust
outl' All these are spurs in the side OF
progress Speed is the aim, breaking
records the ambition. The swiftest is the
best whether in steamers, horses or men.
There is danger of OVERRIDING this bust
ness The old wisdom is as true today as
it ever was-and it always was the solid
basis Of success-"The race is not to the
swift nor the battle to the strong"
Slow and sure, the tortoise and the hare
fable, needs still to be taught. In Chris.
tian life, especially among the young,
there is need of patient laying founda-
tions of character and practice Of Chris
tian virtues. BE We steadfast, unmov-
able, always Astounding in the work of
the Lord" is better than speed. Be true
and right and take time for il. Haste
makes waste. Slow down and take time
to be and know. Learn to do well first
Speed comes later.

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Comment by Rev. w. J. Yates A. M.
Topic. The Outer Circle.

SCRIPTURE READISG.-John IL, 70; vii, 81
viii. 90. 81; Luke xxi, 81, IS.
The topic for October is ''the friends
Of Christ. Last month>we considered
His enemies. These we studied as foes
by passion and appetite, through greed
of gain. because of bigotry and by indif-
ference.
This month we shall study the friends
in the outer circle, the circle Of duty,
the inner circle of duty and love, and
the Utmost circle.
During the life and ministry Of Jesus
there were many who heard Him with
Joy and undertook to live pure lives be-
cause of His teachings who yet never
came out publicly as disciples. OF this
class were Joseph of Arimathea and
Nicodemus among the higher ranks OF
the people. Many causes operated 10
keep them from open profession Of their
faith in Him.
At the present time there are many
who are secretly followers of Christ and
supporters of His cause who have never
Joined the church OF made public decla-
ration Of their faith. These men are
found in business life and in their deal
ings are often more to be trusted than
some members of the church. They are
Pounds in social life, where they exercise
pure and elevating influence. While
never liable to the charge Of Puritan
ism, they never, on the other hand, are
tainted with the corruptions and abomi-
nation Of society. They never entirely
break with polite and worldly society
and never became wholly devoted to the
church, yet in the place they occupy
they are valued friends Of the Master.
1t is matter of regret that they do not
identify themselves more closely with
His interests. But it is source Of graf
ification that they are as true to conyic-
ton as they are and so helpful to His

Electric Fencing.

Lovers of fencing will be interested
in an invention which has just been
tried in London, and which is said TO
do away altogether with the difficulty
constantly experienced by an umpire in
Judging hits between two equally
matched competitors. This end, it is de-
clared, has been achieved by covering
the front of each jacket with fine copper
or brass wire gauze, and connecting this
with the adversary's foil and an electric
bell (of the burglar alarm pattern) and
battery in the same circuit. 1t follows
that when hit is made the circuit is
closed, and the bell rings and continues
to ring until stopped by the person in
charge. A special arrangement in each
foil handle provides that only direct
point produces a ring. Two entirely
electrically distinct circuits are used,
each including bell. foil and jacket;
fiicks or blows or grazes produce no re-
suit. The bells being Of different tones.
and. moreover, placed on opposite sides
Of the room, there is no difficulty in de-
Gliding who has scored hit, or, in cases
of almost simultaneous hits, who deliv-
cred the point first By a simple ar
rangement the wires passing from the
batteries to the combatants' collars are
kept well out of the way, however sud-
den may be their movements OF advance
or retreat. In the London trial six Sc
lected amateurs competed for a pair of
foils, and five bouts were fought. The
experiments were completely successful.
A military expert, Captain Hutton,
who was present, said that the device
would be of great value at such compe-
titions as the royal military tournament.

Cling az a drowning man struggles for
breath in the water, TO call Tor Kitty.
He was not Julia's, he was kitty's.
That kept floating back and forth in
his brain like piece of kelp sloshing
TO and fro in the tide.
When he got the kinks Strengthened
out in his head, he found that they had
finished calling the banns for him and
Julia, and that they were preparing for
the wedding to take place as soon as he
could stand.
The thing was monstrous. without
doubt, but what could be done? Carpen-
ter was the only one who would even
try to interfere, and he could do nothing.
Julia clothed herself in stupidity, and
against that impenetrable armor Car
penter battered in vain. The mother, OF
course, understood no word of English;
so il was useless to appeal to her. And
there they had poor. conceited, ratified
Longley fast.
The marriage could not take place in
the church, as Longley was not Cath
Ole. The priest did not approve and re-
monstrated with Sonora Estudillo in re-
gard to this impious alliance with q
hereto. "Valgame Dios!" she said,
with despairing shrug. "What would
you? Those of the true faith will not
work, and there are seven Of us and
nine Of the family of my sister. Would
you have us starve?' 1t is sad thing
that religion must give way to matters
of expediency. The dollar dominates
even in slumberous old Monterey.
Carpenter, with grim line round his
mouth, wondered a. he stood watching
| the priests genufections if Longley
was recalling any Of his somewhat in
| temperate remarks about priests and
| greasers He looked white enough, as
| he stood Imply by bridal robed Julia,
| to be recalling the sins and misadven-
lures of bad life century long
Longley never did get to looking
fright peart he began work too soon.
He worked early and he worked late.
for were there not 10 blood relatives and
80 collaterals, also the blood relatives
of the collaterals, and all big eaters?
But it is an unwritten law that you are
not expected to clothe the collaterals or
their relatives.
A dozen or so would come down from
Tassajara, another dozen from Tres
Pinos, and there visit" three or four
weeks at Longley's in the most perfect
amity. Being but human, Longley
would occasionally raise Cain and the
roof, but as most of his swarthy rela-
tives were surprisingly destitute of a
knowledge of English his revolts were
Intellectual.
They had parties every Sunday night
and TO the strains of an accordion and
three or four guitars they would fairly
dance the lint out of the floor and walls
In the old unfettered days that which
had met with Longley's most unquali
fed scorn were these very Sunday nigh
dances. Edith Wagner in Argonaut.

Rev. F. A. Holtzhausen, superintendent
OF the Upper Michigan Children's Home
situated at Marquette, hasreturned from
the east and announces TO the Mining
Journal that he has secured from Mr.
Thomas L. Mason, president OF the Quin-
cy mining company, the donation oil l6O
acres OF land on which to locate an indus
trial home for boys. The difficulty which
Mr.. Holtzhausen experiences in placing
boys out in good families, at present, led
him to conceive OF the idea OF a perma-
nent home, where they may be taught to
be farmers, dairymen, florists and many
other useful occupations. In finding
homes for the girls that come under his
charge Mr.. Holtzhausen has no trouble
whatever. Contrary to the general be-
lief. the girls are preferred to the boys.
MIR. Holtzhausen first mentioned the
matter to Mr.. Mason in the copper coun-
try some time ago and the latter became
interested, and at conference in New
York the donation was finally made, ana
the grantee has the privilege OF choosing
any 100 acres OF farming land owned by
the Quincy mining company.
After this home sball have been once es-
tablished, the protector figures that II
will be selfsustaining In connection
there would be market garden, green
houses and poultry farm. The people
of this community will hear more oil this
proiect when Mr.. Holtzhausen arrives
and has made the selection OF the land.

for the press at the present time the mis-

people can read Tracts, books, papers,
