MISCELLANY.
How the Dollar Goes Farther In
Europe.

Eli Perkins says: 'One day, year
ago, saw an intelligent mechanic
planning piece of iron in Belgian
machine shop. He was very skilled
workman, and received eighty cents
per day, high price for mechanic on
the continent. When l told him that
our American mechanics received from
81 to S3 per day for the same work, he
seemed surprised and said:
"' And provisions are cheaper in
America, and could live cheaper there
than here.'
"' How do you know that2" l asked.
" Because he said, 1 buy Amer
lean bacon and American -four here in
Brussels. American bacon is penny
pound cheaper here than our bacon
and then your provisions have to be
brought here. Fresh pork is sold for
eighteen cents per pound at the market
here while l can buy your American
bacon for eleven cents. l could live
on less money in America than here.
L know L could make dollar go far
Their there where pork and flour is
cheap, than here in Belgium, provided
l ate no more there than here.'
EYES, said, you could live there
cheaper than here, if you ate the same
things, but you would not do il. Now
what do you eat here?'
"'Well, sir he said, as he placed his
left hand on his brow, thoughtfully, Il
have five children-seven mouths to
feed Now buy seven pounds of ba-
con a week, besides American flour.
My wife cuts this bacon in seven pieces.
She hashes it up, puts in potatoes,
mangel, wurtzel, turnips, Sits in some
Hour, and makes nice stew. We eat
this stew three times a day.
"'Do you have coffee?'
Ion, no; we can't afford that
"'Pies and cakes?'
"'You are joking
"'Do you have butterp'
"'Ob, no; we have plain bread.
That's ALL
81 told this mechanic that in slave
times in America seven slaves would
have received three and one-half
pounds of bacon each, or twenty-four
and one-half pounds for the seven"
"'And my family of seven freemen
only eat seven poundsI be exclaimed.
""That is it'll said. And seven
soldiers in the American army draw
twenty-eight pounds of pork week to
your seven.'"

A Camel FOur-in-Hand.

Lieutenant Ralph Ponsonby of the
Twenty eighth native infantry in In
dia, has devised new method of en-
ploying the camel by Harvesting four
of the animals to mail coach in much
the same way as are horses. Instead,
however, of being driven by a coach
man seated on box, each of the ami
mails carries the regulation driver, who
is seated in saddle, and who directs
the beasts as if they were each going
on his own account. The practical out
come of this experiment has been to
demonstrate the fact that this four-in-
hand was able to cover a distance of
twenty miles in twenty minutes less
time than the ordinary four-in-hand
horse coach did.

they were compelled TO abandon work.

with ice which never melts.

A DevOut Cnbnan.
From Harper's Round Table.


The ways of the cabby are past compre-
hension, and the driver of the hanson In
London is no different from his brother
of the jinrikisha of Japan.
One Of the latest and most amusing tales
&C ncerning the noble band of drivers comes
from little fishing village in the north
of Scotland. The chapel of this queer
and spa-sely populated town depended en-
tireiy for its supply on the occasional help
of the clergy in neighboring towns 1t so
happened that upon certain very rainy
Sunday new clergyman from the town
of s. volunteered to conduct services
in the little chapel, and in order to get
there he engaged a vehicle which the En-
glish know fly" in which through
the pouring rain he was driven across the
country to the chapel. Upon his arrival he
found no one at hand, not even a sexton
to toll the bell to summon the natives, so
he took 1T upon himself to pull the rope,
leaving the cabby meanwhile outside in
the wet For long time nobody arrived,
but finally one solitary individual did APP
pear, and sat down in a pew nearest the
door.
The clergyman then donned his surplice
and began the service When this was
ended he observed that inasmuch as there
was but one member of the congregation
he thought it would be we'll to dispense
with the sermon.
"Oh, no, sir. Please go on with the SER
mon.'
When half way through he expressed the
fear that perhaps he was firing his listener,
and was much gratified to learn from his
own lips that such was not the case.
Il should be glad to listen to you for
hours, sir" he said, and so the sermon
ran on to an hour in length, and finally
the service was concluded.
The preacher then expressed a desire to
shake hands with SO f1attering an auditor.
And then the trick came out-a trick which
the clergymans near-sightedness had pre-.
vented him from seeing at once.
His listener was none other than the
driver of the fly, who was all the time
charging him at so much an hour for the
use of his vehicle
The minister did not even have the con-
ISOLATION OF getting even by ordering a
collection.

disregard them and search only for the
truth
1t was at this same Belfast meeting
that Professor Tyndall delivered, as the
presidential address, the most startling as
well as the most eloquent discourse that
the association has listened to in all the
years of its existence. Its subject was
Science and Religion" and its main pur-
port must BE- recalled even row by many
new Spaper readers of twenty-five years
ago, for it was printed in full in the press
of all Christendom and created a veritable
furore of excitement. That was in the
day when Darwinism was new and was
still being weighed In the balance, hence
the significance of the open avowal of
the president of the British association I'm
favor of what was considered by the oppo-
Sition to be doctrine of pure materialiSm.
The contest has only historical interest
now. for the opponents of Darwinism have
long since given up their hopeless fight,
but Tyndall's Grafton remains as a model
of earnest and fervid exposition The
memorable phrase, you may purchase in
tellectual peace at the price of intellectual
DEATH" is by itself sufficient to give it
permanent value as literature.
Technical Triumphs.
The purely technical triumphs of the
association are too numerous to be cited
in any detail. including, as has been said,
an outline of the entire progress of science
during the period of its history. 1t has
been and is quite the rule for the workers
of science to record the most important
achievement of each succeeding years
work at the annual meetings of the asso-
citation. Thus Joule announced to the
meeting of 1913 his first experiments to-
ward the determination of the mechanical
equivalent of heat experiments which led
on to the greatest generalization Of the
century, the doctrine of conservation of
energy. So, also, to cite but one other
example, 1t was at the Ipswich meeting
two years ago that Lord Rayleigh and
Professor Ramsey announced their start
ling discovery of the unrecognized con-
Stituent of the air, argon.
Not every meeting can promise such
great discoveries, of course, for they do
not come every year anywhere, but Wis
itors at the Toronto meeting may feel
sure that they will be treated to reports
papers and discussions, showing the very
latest phase of scientific progress. Those
who wish technical Information may hear
the latet theories of matter discussed, per-
haps by Lord Kelvin. while those who
sickle for practical science may listen
to the reports on The Decay Of Agricul-
ture in Great Britain" and THE Possible
Infectivity of the Oyster" In either case
men of authority will be the expositors.
Indeed, there will be at the meeting men
of universal fame from all over the world,
merely to see and hear whom, regardless
OF the topic, will be worth a long journey
to Toronto.

Then, too, there are so-called Evening

hubbub In the theological world-the adj
dress In which he admitted that the log

seem alarming from the standpoint OF the

'the scare-crows Of fools and the beacons
Of wise men," and may well be allowed to
