take their rest as matter of course and
enjoy it. But a day like this which lays
them off from work and shuts them with

TO SUPPRESS A NUISANCE.
Ways of Obtaining Relief From Smoke.
The Best Way Is Not to Make 1t.

The Best Way Is Not to Make 1t.
One means of obtaining relief from
smoke from boiler and other chimneys
was years ago found in simple forms of
apparatus in which the chimney gases
were more or less thoroughly washed by
sprays of water. These latter were intend
ed TO and in many cases did remove par
ticles of SCOT from the gas currents, and
the latter, as they issued from the chin
ney tops, were comparatively IL not who'll
ly free from those characteristics which
constitute tho smoke nuisance of today.
The extracted SCOT was, moreover, not a
waste product, but was utilized, in one
instance at least, in the manufacture of
an excellent quality of ink.
At the present time, with smoke sup
preston as an absorbing topic in many
localities, it would seem worth while to
practically resurrect some of these old de-
vices little more frequently than is the
case, for in few places they are in service
in more or less modified and improved
shape and with apparently satisfactory
results. The simple theory in the whole
matter of smoke always has been that the
best way to prevent it is not to make 1t,
and it is along this line that intelligent
inventive effort has of late years been ex-
pended. The fireman, too, as n smoke
preventcr or a underwriting nuisance
has attracted attention, and the impor-
lance of his function is today tole,ebly
well appreciated by most boiler owners.
But, after ell, there IRE in every manu-

by the woman who makes one skirt an

PUPPETS IN OLD GREECE.
Socrates Gained Some Knowledge Fror
the Barnum Of His Time.

Socrates Gained Some knowledge From
the Barnum of His Time.
In classic Greece the puppet show was a
popular diversion. The peripatetic show
man, known as nevropaste, journeyed
from town to town, carrying his wooden
figures In a box under his arm and with
his booth strapped to his back, quite like
his modern descendant who frequents Eng
lish country fairs. The foibles of human
nature furnished ample material for these
ancient performances, and one can readily
imagine that the satire was keen and
strong, IL not exactly delicate.
The puppet show had it's patrons in the
time Of Euripides, and ut a later period,
when Athens experienced the dccadence of
the drama, the wooden manikins usurped
the place Of the flesh and blood actors I'm
the regular theater.
Socrates unbent his philosophic mind ON
one occasion to ask a puppet Snowman
how he made a living in such manner.
The folly Of men Is an inexhaustibIe fund
of riches" sententiously responded the
nevropaste, himself evidently philosopher
despite his lowly station, "and / am al

TEACHERS AND RELIGION.
Tho Assertion That State Universities Are
Irreligious.

AEhOAsBsves~s
Notwithstanding the large contribu-
tions which the religious denominations
arc making 10 the student body OF the
state universities ID has often been asserted
that these institutions arc irreligioue In
tho character of their instruction. This
subject was so fully discussed by Prosi-
dent Angel in tho Andover Review that
It will be sufficient here to quote one para
graph in which he presents certain facts
regarding the religious status OF profess
ors and instructors:
"In 90 of the state institutions, all
from which have facts on this point, 1t
appears that II per cent of tho teachers are
members of churches, and not few OF
the others are earnestly and even actively
religious men who have not formally join
ed any communion. When we remember
that colleges not under state control-cer-
tainly this is true of the larger ones-do
not now always insist on church member
ship as the condition of an appointment
to place In the faculties, and that no
board of regents or trustees of any state
university will knowingly appoint to q
chair of instruction man who is not
supposed to be of elevated moral charac-
ter, il must be conceded that the pupils in
the state institutions are not exposed to
much peril from their teachers.
But the great majority of men who choose
teaching as their profession always have
been and are likely to DO reverent, ear
nest, even religious men. So it has como
to pass that seven or eight Of every ten
men in the corps of teachers in the state
universities are members of Christian
churches. And if you go to tho cities
where those universities are planted you
will find a good proportion Of these teach
ers experimenting Sunday schools, con-
Quoting Bible classes, sometimes supply
ing pulpits, engaged in every kind OF
Christian work, and by example and word
stimulating their pupils to Christian
life. Professor f. w. Kelsey Of the Uni
versity of Michigan in December Atlantic

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
Ignorance OF Our Cousins Across the Az
Iantic ON Our Ways.


Ny first experience In England, says
Colonel T. w. Higginson in the December
Atlantic, was, of course, TO ascertain my
proper position as an American and &C
know what was thought of us. This was
easier 20 years ago than now, since the
English ignorance of Americans was then
even greater than today, and perhaps even
more frankly expressed. One OF tho first
houses where / spent an evening was the
very hospitable home OF distinguished
scholar. then the president of the Philo-
logical society and the highest authority
on the various dialects of the English Ian
guaeo. But | was led 10 think that his
sweet and kindly wife had not fully profit
ed by his learning. She said to me, us II
not rather strange that you Americans,
who seem such a friendly and cordial race,
should invariably address newcomer rs
stranger, while we English, who arc
thought to be cold and distant, are more
likely TO say my friondy'
She would scarcely credit it when / told
her that had hardly over in my life been
greeted by tho word she thought so uni
versal, and then she added, ~ was told
that Americans began every sentence with.
We'll, stranger, L guess. / was COM
PEELED 10 plead guilty to the national use
of the first and last Of these few words,
but still dcmurrcd as to the stranger. y
Then she sought for more general infor-
nation, and asked If it was really true, as
she had been old, that railway trains in
America were often stopped for tho pur-
pose of driving cattle off the track. l ex-
planned to her that in some regions of tho
far west, where cattle abounded and fenc-
ing material was scarce, this might still
be done, and l did not think it necessary
to say that l had seen it done i'll my
youth within 90 miles of Boston. But /
explained to her that we Americans, being
very inventive race, had devised little
apparatus to be placed in front Of the To-
comotive in order to turn aside all OBJ
strucsions, and / told her that this excel
lent invention was called a cowcatcher.
She heard with interest, and then her
kindly face grew anxious and she said hes
itatingly, But isn't it rather dangerous
for the boyy" 1 said wonderingly, "What
boyY" and she reiterated, For the boy
don't you know-the cowcatcher." Her
motherly fancy had depicted an unfortu-
nate youth, balanced on the new contriv-
ance, probably holding on with one hand
and dispensing dangerous herds by ges-
ture from the other.

a huge meteor flashed through the haAv-
