A Good Sturgeon story.

Here is story about Sturgeon. He
once passed stonemason who, after
each stroke of his hammer, cursed and
swore. Mr.. Spurgeon laid his hand on
his shoulder and, looking kindly at him,
said: "You are an adept at swearing.
Can you also pray?"
With another oath he replied, mot
very likely"
Holding up shillings, Mr.. Spurgeon
said if he would promise never to pray
he would give him that.
"That is easily earned, said the
man, with fresh oath, and put it in
his pocket. When Sturgeon left, the
man began to feel little queer. When
he went home, his wife asked him what
allied him, and he told her. at is Ju-
das' money!" said the man, and ON
sudden impulse he threw it into the
fire. The wife found it and took it out
and discovered who had given it to him
The man took it back to Spurgeon, wht
conversed long with him, warning him
and at length was the means of SAVING
him. He became an attached membel
of his flock.

Football Good For Boys.

the subject of football He was discuss
ing the subject, 1.-The brotherhood Men
of the Future" his remarks having
reference to boys work He said boys
must be dealt with firmly, and depre-
Gated the display of emotions concern
ing them, which be designated as
"womanish." He advocated athletics
for boys, and said: "All athletics are
good for boys. Bicycling Is good, tennis
is good, baseball is good and that game
is good which friend of mine calls the
most spiritual of all games-football.
Football has many benefits. 1t is one OF
the organized games, and organization
is valuable. 1t makes man eat plain
food and keep early hours. 1t keeps
back our growing tendency to indulge
in luxuries. 1t inculcates obedience. A
football player must 90 what he is TOLD

Smoking In Korea.

In Korea all men and women smoke.
They begin early. The pipe is brass
bowl, with reed stem four feet long
and brass, amber or glass mouthpiece.
Accidents often occur from persons fall
ing with long pipe in the mouth, the
stem of which is driven down the throat
through the cheek or into the palate.
During the reform period" after the
Japan China war. long pipes were for
hidden to the common people, and they
turned to cigarettes, which have be-
come rooted in the popular affection.
Native cigarettes, which are of poor
quality, sell for / cent gold for 20. Lit
tie cigars of cigarette size sell for IA
cents gold per 100.
American cigarettes are used exclu'
sively in the palace, and thousands OF
them are smoked there. This makes
them popular with the upper classes
and the consumption of them is very
great. The best of them cost ! CEN
gold each The import duty on cigars
and cigarettes is 20 per cent ad valorem
but, in spite of this, the American
manufacturers are gradually coming int
control of the market. Chicago Times

Our Immense Railway system.

The railway system in the United
States employs 1000 locomotives, 49,
600 passenger cars and 5000 mail and
baggage cars. These figures seem large
till the number of freight cars is stated,
which is |, $50. 900. A passenger train
consisting of locomotive, tender, bag
gage and six passenger cars, with their
contents, il estimatd to weigh about
1874 tons Freight trains sometimes
reach weight of 800 tons. An ordinary
passenger car costs from 81, 600 to $5.-
600 and a sleeping car anywhere from
SO, 600 to $40, 900. The system, with
its gigantic equipment, is practically
the growth of single generation. With
the additions of another quarter or half
a century posterity ought to stand and
gaze at its stupendous proportions. But
it will probably be gradually educated
out of all it's capacities of wonder, as we
have been out of many of our own

A shower of Hats and shoes.

Charles +. w. Mieglatz contributes
"a Boys Recollections OF the Great
Chicago Fire to st. Nicholas. Mr..
Mieglatz says:
Once, for few minutes, thought 1t
was all over with me. The flames
sprang from the middle Of the block,
ON the east side of Wells street between
Washington and Randolph, to the mid
die of the block between Randolph ana
Lake streets. Here remarkable thing
happened. AT the northwest corner OF
Wells aud Lake streets l stopped for
moment to catch my breath and to look
back. At the southeast corner there
was a boot and shoe shop, which had
glass front on the rear alley, similar to
that on the street front, but not so elab-
crate. The fire struck this alley front
with a force that swept the boots and
shoes through the shop and into the
street in a flash. A tongue of flame shot
out. rolled across the street and kindled
a tar kettle and a barrel, such as PAYERS
use, bringing with it shower OF boots
and shoes. Almost at the same instant
the fire threw itself against hat fac
tory. few doors east of the boot and
shoe shop. 1t hit the rear OF the build

The heaviest thing in the world Is the
metal osmium, the blush white metal
with violet luster which Mr.. 6mithson
remnant discovered 80 years ago in the
residue from dissolved platinum ores.
This metal has specific gravity OF NJ
Ar; that of gold being 1920; Lead
Il.367; iron, 7.79, and lithium, the
lightest, only 0.594. !,
The French chemist, Jolly, determined
that osmium is likewise the most IN
fusible of metals. II could never be
made to yield to the oxyhydrogen flame
which makes platinum and iridium
run like water, but Jolly has been sub
iecting osmium to the exclusively hlgh
temperature of the electric arc which
Moissan has of late employed SUCCESSFUL
" in the manufacture of diamonds.
Under this fierce heat the rare metal,
ruthenium, which used to be deemed all
hut infusible readily melts, but osmium
remains refractory, there being apparent
lv only the faintest traces of fusion. On
this account osmium cannot be prepared
in sufficient quantities to make 1t very
useful in the arts, but its alloy with IT.

by way of recapitulating all he had

questions, remarked: "All good artil-

merely learn mathematics, trigonometry

Don,t Forget How to Walk.

A long distance bicycle rider says:
"Cutside Of cycling walking is the only
exercise indulge in when training for
distance work, and l consider that a
walk of ten miles is equal to 30 on the
machine. BY swinging the hands to
and fro in the open air the chest is ex.
handed and the lungs are strengthened,
while in the lower part of the body ev-
ery muscle is brought into use 1t is
very rare that man breaks up in long
distance races or records if he has plenty
of walking. He may have bad time,
but he generally rallies quickly"

A curious feature about this evolu-
ton i'm methods Of hunting was the
hesitation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great mobiles. Not only
did il take quite a century to familiar
ize hunters with it, but the evidence
that has come down To us shows that
the humble classes were the first to use
IL for shooting game Maximilian, ar
dent sportsman that he was, tells Us
himself that he could shoot farther and
with greater accuracy with his cross
how than his keeper could with the fire
tube. :,
To prove this he tells us the we'll
known story of certain chamois stand
ing at distance of 200 fathoms, which
after being pronounced as too far OIL by
his henchman, who was armed with
one of the first sporting firearms men
toned in print, comes tumbling down,
MERGED at the first attempt, by the EN-
neror's bolt From other sources we
learn of strict measures being adopted
TO prevent poachers and wood loafers'
using firearms, and this at a perioc
when princes still used the cumbroul
orossbow and spear. 1t was only in thu
last quarter of the sixteenth century
that firearms had ousted other weapon
for certain forms of the chase, the dee
battue being among the latter.-Pal

THE SPORTING WORLD.

The real Blenheim spaniel, which is
bred nv the Duke of Marlborough and
of which his wife, the American Ouch
ess, is SO fond, is entirely different from
the Blenheim spaniel of the dog shows.
The Blenheim one sees at the shows
and in the shops Of the dog dealers is
practically noSeless animal with enor-
nous eyes and dwarfed limbs. He has a
big loiling tongue, which the mouth
can hardly contain, and his eyes are al
ways weeping. This is the. effect OF the
yagaries of the breeders, for he came
originally of the same stock as the
strong and beautiful spaniels of Blen-
helm. From the time the first Duke OF
Marlborough began the breeding Of the
spaniels at Blenheim the greatest care
has been taken by his successors &c
