There seems to be an occasional
misunderstanding as to the nature
of the aurora. Certain people have
regarded it as a fixed appearance, as
regular in its course as the sun and

had seen it.

tone. "Did you p

Sound Reason.

The late Rev. DR.. VIM. L. Brock
enridge, of Kentucky, used to tell
this story of an Irishman who desired
to have letter written home TO his
friends in the old country. 1t was
at time when provisions were so
abundant in the West as to be al
most without value.
After mentioning a good many
things that he wished to have writ
ten to his friends in ireland in re-
gard to America, Patrick said:
"Tell them that I get all the meat
l can eat three times week.
"And what do you mean by that ?"
asked the writer. Don't you get all
the bacon you can eat three times a

Yes, your riverence," was the
prompt reply.
"Well, then, what do you mean by

poas Is Stoves

Theirs, an old town in the Au
vergne, is famous for It's steel knife
industry. The town has retained
much of its romantic medieval
character. Its streets are narrow
and crooked, and the manufacture
Of knives, the principal industry OF
the town, is not carried on in mod
ern factories, but in ancient small
buildings on the little river Dnrolle,
which furnishes the power for the
industrial township. Curious and
unique as everything else in Theirs
is the method of work of the people
engaged in grinding the knives.
The grinders, men and women, Jay
stretched out on wooden planks,
over which they sometimes throw
sheepskins to soften the boards.
Head, shoulders and arms reach
over the end OF the board, and with
their hands they hold Increasingly
the rough steel blades upon the big
grindstone which revolves beneath
them by means of q powerful, yet
simple transmission. It is very
comical aspect to see these people at
work, particularly because every
one of the workmen has a small,
long-haired dog, who serves as
sort of live stove. During the long
winter in the mountains a body
stretched out full length suffers
much from cold in these lily pro-
tected mills, and, ince it is not pos
sible for the workman to warm him.
self by change of position or by
moving his limbs, this peculiar ex-
pient has been adopted in Theirs.
The dogs are well trained to their
Office. One whistle of their masters
calls them up, and simple turn of
the body indicates to them where
they have to lie down to give new
warmth to the body OF their master.
