PROFESSOR MORSE,S "LIGHT."

|
Rev. George Wlnifred Hervey re-
lates that long ago, while pursuing in
vestigations in the Astor Library, New
York, he used often to meet there
Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse, the renown-
ed inventor of the electric telegraph.
Once he asked him this question
professor Morse, when you were
making your experiments yonder in
your rooms in the university, did You
ever come to stand, not knowing
what to do next?"
"Oh yes, more than once"
~ may answer you in confidence,
SIR" said the professor, "but it is
matter of which the public knows
nothing. Whenever I could not see
my way clearly, prayed for more
light"
"And the light generally came?"
ayes. And I may tell you that
when fattering bonors came to me
from America and Europe, on account
of the invention which bears my name,
l never felt that I deserved them. I
had made valuable application of
electricity, not because was superior
to other men, but solely because God,
who meant it for mankind, must re-
veal it to some one, and was pleased to
reveal it to me.''
This utterance by distinguished
man of science reminds us again, as
many similar utterance have done,
not only that true greatness has no
vanity, but that superior minds, as
whole, reverently acknowledge the
Supreme. They who climb highest
see farthest, and the light that comes
from above shines the longest way.
A pleasant proof of the felicity and
foreseeing wisdom of this eminent man
and devout inventor appeared in the
result of grand test by the Postal
Telegraph company.
This company had "feld day"
short time ago, when the various trans.
mission methods and alphabets were
tried on all their lines. When COM
parative material cost, salary of ope-
rators, accuracy of work, time consum-
ed and all other factors were taken
into consideration, the decision was
wholly in favor of the Morse system,
that has been in use more than 80
years.
The inventors first message, "What
hath God wrought ?" intimated in no
uncertain way the inspiration that
gave his work longevity, and made
it light to the world.
At the completion of one of the Am
herst college buildings, when Presi-
dent Hitchcock first assembled his ge-
ology class in a new recitation-room
with sky-windows, this was his intro
duction to one Of his best lectures:
"Young gentlemen, all the light we
have here come from above"
The reverent spirit that took that
text and that spoke in the Astor Lii
brary dignifies scientific thought, and
contributes to success in all search af-
ter truth Youths Companion.

s@ The Washington Star quotes a
physician as follows: "a great ma
iority of the cures effected by drink
ing the waters of the fashionable and
Questionable medicinal springs in va
rious parts of the country would have
resulted if the same amount of plain,
wholesome, everyday water was drunk
by the people who rush to these
springs, and while there drink from
eight to twenty large glasses of their
waters in a day. Whether there are
any medicinal virtues in the waters,
this treatment does them good, on ac-
count of the extra washing out they
give themselves, and it is the water
instead of the constituency Of the
same that does the work. The same
people, if at their homes, would pass
many and many day without drink
ing one glass of water. 1t is, in my
opinion, the water that cures, and it is
water that is needed"

THE QUIET Observation-Disclosures
weaknesses are her tower of strength.
A woman may not be very curious
naturally, but she can't resist the
temptation to watch her neighbor
moving out.
A woman is never quite so proud as
when she first goes out with brand
new baby in brand-new coach.
When a woman begins to get un-
comfortably feshy she is "nice and
plump" Her equally stout acquaint-
ances she calls "disgustingly fat"
The honeymoon ends when the wife
concludes that it isn't necessary for
her to sit up till her husband comes in:
A woman generally sharpens lead
pencil as if she were chopping wood.

DRANK TOO MUCH LAGER.
THIRTY-ElGAT SCHoONERS EMPTlEO,
THEN HE COLLAPSED.

Beer-Slushing Contest of Two Young Le-
high County Men Came Near Ending
Fatally for One of Them-Both Drank
Until They Fell Off the Kegs.
From Lehigh county, that land OF
queer people, comes the story of a
strange contest INDUCED in the other
day. AS a result, George Fehr, aged
about 25 years, lies at the point of death
at his home in the mountains north OF
Bender junction from the effects of
drinking thirty-eight ''schooners" of
lager beer in the short time of one hour
and twenty-seven minutes.
DR.. Smock, the attending physician, is
reported to have said that he believes
that Fehr topped off the beer with dose
of paris green, for his stomach has
swollen to the size Of beer barrel and
in the doctors entire practice he has had
only one similar case, and that was a
patient who drank paris green on top
of lot of lager beer.
During the last POLITICAL campaign
Fehr hObnobbed with the "wire pullers''
and drank his share of beer every day.
He boasted openly that he ''could drink
brewery dry and challenged any
body in his part of the country to pub
lie contest. His challenge was accepted
by young man named Mitonberg.
Miltonberg is Fehr's junior by about
three years. 1t was agreed to pull off
the contest at the pleasure of a certain
politician. The time came a few days
ago, Point Phillips was the scene of the
politicians entertainment. He provided
three kegs of beer. Fehr and Miltonberg
each straddled keg, while the remain
ing keg was besieged by the invited
guests.
The glasses were what are known as
"schooners." They hold nearly quart.
Miltonberg drained the contents of his
big glass just thirty-four times and then
collapsed Fehr boldly proclaimed that
he would drain his keg or die in the at
tempt. He finished his thirty-eighth
glass and then his friends pushed him
off the keg-or he fell off. At any rate,
he could not drink another drop of beer.
How he got home--for he lives in the
forest several miles away--no one says.
He was found next day in bed at
home, his abdomen swollen to the size
of common paper balloon. He was
sick enough to die. He is still that sick
and the attending physician cannot say
whether he will recover or not. The
defeated beer drnker is al BILE to be about
again, it is said
