Stubs is really not very absent

street car he makes it point not to

Stubs that makes him lucky enough to
be overlooked two cases i'll ten when he
boards loaded car.
One morning he was absorbed in his
paper, and when he felt touch on his
arm he mechanically passed out his
nickel and went on with his reading.
Later the conductor stood beside him
and murmured, Fare, please" but
received no attention. Stubs had paid
his fare. Then the abominable nuisance
of conductor seized him by the shout

affably as he could.
"No, you did not Come, pass out

an adjective he might use when there
were ladies about. 'You-you-infer-

With a red face the conductor rang
the bell to stop the car, roaring, "You
will have to pay your fare or get off
the car" in tone that startled every
one. 81 did not get your nickel, and
you know it,"
At that minute the man who had
nudged Stubs 10 move over in the seat
he had occupied with him dropped off
the car and walked tho other block to
his Office.
The next time Stubs rode in a
crowded car he gently touched the arm

Clothes and the Man.

It is not true that "the tailor makes
the gentleman, but it is true that a
gentleman cannot safely neglect the
tailor's services if he wishes people in
general to take him for what he is. A
gentleman prominent in Canadian po-
litical life was somewhat too careless
in this respect. This statesman was
once on his way to call upon a friend
in Quebec and stopped an Irishman in
the street to inquire the way.
"Can you tell me where Mr.. Hunter
lives?' he asked.
"It's no use your going there" was
the unexpected reply.
"But do you know where he lives?"
"Faith and do, but it's no use 60
ing there"
The inquirer began to get angry.

want to know where Mr.. Hunter lives. !"
"Oh, we'll, he lives down that street

Iodine as a Detective.

Another use has been found for the
Vapor of iodine. This is the discovery of
alterations in manuscripts. Professor
Bruylats Of Louvain, the discoverer of
the process, noticed that when a sheet
Of paper which had been sized and fin
ished was moistened and, after being
thoroughly dried, exposed to the vapor
of iodine the part which had been
moistened became violet, while the I'm.
moistened portion became brownish vel
low.
1t appears that when a manuscript
has been altered both the nature and
extent of the alteration can be deter
mined by the use of iodine vapor. Those
parts which have been rubbed become
brownish on exposure, and when the
rubbed part is subsequently, moistened
it becomes blue, the depth of the color
depending on the length of time that
the exposure had been allowed to pro-
coed.
The process is believed to be due en-
tirely to the we'll known fact that when
iodine is put on starch the starch be-
comes blue, and the difference in the
tint is dependent on the fact that por-
ton of the starch which is contained in
the size has been removed in the process
of the alteration of the manuscript.
Oddly enough, the same process will
reveal the extent of pencil marks which
have been erased by rubbing. The iodine
vapor brings out the lines which have
been traced by the pencil point disturb
ing the surface of paper, even though
the rubbing has been SO carefully done
that it has not removed any of the sur
face of the paper itself. Pearson Is

SUNDAY SCHOOL. LIBRARIES.
Many of the Books an Insult to the In
teIIigence of Young People.

Many of the Books an Insult to the In
telIigence of Young People.
Edward W. Box has been making
careful and comprehensive examination
of Sunday school libraries, and in The
Ladies Home Journal he confesses him
self disguised with the literature thus
placed in the hands Of our boys and
girls. A less complete investigation,
Mr.. Box says, would not have made it
possible for him to believe that the IL
braries of our Sunday schools were
stocked with such piles Of rubbish
"wishy washy literature, " as he terms
it. He quotes the titles and gives the
themes of number of books he obtained
from Sunday school libraries, and these
seem to completely warrant his conclu-
sions. Such books, he contends, ARE
an insult to the intelligence of the
young people and have a pernicious in
f1uence. Instead of being healthy books
they are decidedly unhealthy in tone
and teaching Surely we are cultivating
a dangerous taste for reading in the
young when we feed them on such rub
bish. -
Mr.. Box unhesitatingly lays part of
the blame upon the publication boards
and societies, which are influenced by
a denominational spirit that narrows
their choice of books. Then, again, it is
shown that the most mediocre sort of
''talent'' is employed to write these
books, and that beggarly prices-less
than $50 per book-are paid. A share
of responsibility, Mr.. Box asserts, rests
upon the men who purchase Sunday
school libarries, who, as is most fire.
quently the case, are not qualified for
the task and whose object is to secure a
library as cheap as possible. Mr.. Box
warmly urges that the selection of Sun
day school books be left to women, who
instinctively know and feel the kind
of book which hey CT girl will read
and enjoy He insists that women
should be given carte blanche to make
the selections so far as the prescribed
amount of money will 60 "a hundred
good books, - Mr.. Box concludes, "are
far better than 500 books Of Indifferent
interest, - which are bought simply be-
cause they are cheap. "a Sunday school
library cannot be created i'll day, and
no discouragements should be felt if the
financial means Of the church are con-
tracted and necessitate the purchase OF
only few books at time.

CUBE ROOT MADE EASY.
bow ANY Bright Scholar May Learn tc
Tell 1t OfTFand.

Tell 1t ORhand.
To find the cube root Of any given
number of figures offhand seems an al
most impossible feat, but yet it is sim
pie enough when enc knows how to do
it-so simple, indeed, that any bright
boy can learn to do it in few weeks.
First he must know exactly what a
cube is-namely, that it is the result
of multiplying one number by itself
and then multiplying the product by the
original number Thus, multiplied
by equals 8, and multiplied by 8,
the original number, produces ~. which
consequently is the cube of 8. The cube
root of % is the original number, 8,
and to find the cube root is the reverse
of finding the cube The would be adept
at this art should first study carefully
the following fgTres:
4x4x4- "a 5><5x5=125 6x6x6-21e
7x7>7=848 8><8<&=512 9x9x9-79
A close study of these figures shows
that multiplied in this manner by it,
self results in s, that multiplied by
itself has as final figure, that null
tipIied by itself has 2 as final figure,
that multiplied by itself has as a
final figure, and that 4, 5, and 9 null
tiplied by themselves have their origi-
nal figures as finals Hence the artist
knows that any sum given to him the
final figure Of which is must have
as cube root; that if the final figure
be 8, the cube root must be 8, and so
| on.
For example, give him the figures
"A, 088, and he can at once tell that AZ
is the cube root, for the reason that ID
has 4 as a cube root, as the cube of A is
"a, while the cube of is 1876, much
more than "a, and 0S8 has as a cube
root.
Or give him more difficult problem,
as, for example, the figures 324, 500.
Then he will see at glance that 324 is
more than 216, which is the cube of 6,
but is less than 343, the cube of 2.
Therefore the cube root of these three
figures is 6. In like manner the final
figure of 369 being 8, it follows that the
cube root of these three figures is 8, and
thus the cube root of the six figures has
been shown to be So

OF course a skilled arithmeticiar
could easily frame problems that coulo
not be solved in this offhand fashion,
but such difficult tests are seldom offered
by public audiences, and, as a rule, the
"artists'' are easily able to answer al
the questions asked of them. New
