observed or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other one thing

tells the following story of how minis

81 was once preaching at a seaside re-
sort, and. being "a visitor, | attracted
more attention than the local parson. II
is my rule to use the plaincst of plain
words in preaching, so that the most un-
learned may not fail to understand. The
next day a sweep, who was at church.
went to sweep the chimney OF an in
valid's room where ! visited. and was
asked how he liked my preaching. lie
replied, 4 like him; he don't use no
grammatical words on another occa-
sion, one of the hymns selected contain
ed the words. Let my heart in tune be
found like David's harp of solemn
sound Violins were used in those days
i'm church, and the clerk ventured to
think the hymn might he brought up to
date. and he suggested. Please. sir |
think we might improve this hymn.
Yes, John. how would you do it?' We'll,
sir was the clerks reply. 1T might read
thus-Let my heart be free from sin,
like Psalmist David's violin.'"

New York. Jan. 20-Slight losses re-
suited from the days transactions in
the stock market, which were irregu-
lar and depressed on the resumption
of Cuban and currency agitation at
Washington, giving courage to certain
large bear interests. Recent profess
sional manipulation of stocks is cred
tied to people interested in making
market for bonds acquired during re-
organizations. Western trade adVices
continued good and were further re-
flected in favorable traffic returns
which were published today by promi-
nent lines. The market had hardly
emerged from it's early hesitancy in
liquidation and short sales were ap-

Toward the close there was a some

THE WORLDS FUEL SUPPLY.

Lord Kelvin, in his recent address be-
fore the British association at Toronto,
gave some estimates on the available fuel
supply of the world and made some sug-
gestions which attract attention. He
thinks that the utilization of water pow
ers to the greatest extent Will diminish
only insignitcanly the tax on the worlds $
supply of fuel, and believes that the cul-
tivation of vegetation which adds to the
store of oxygen is of more Importance
than anything else man can do to pro-
long human life on the earth. He estl-
mates that there exists $40, 900, 900 million
tons of oxygen that will burn $40, 000, 900
million tons of fuel but the diminution
of the oxygen will destroy human life
long before its supply gives out, SO that
the fuel that may be left after the race
dies is of no avail. There are 200 900 tons
of fuelfor each person living today, which,
he says, will limit the life of the race to IL
comparatively small span. But the
growth of vegetation will be necessary to
sustain life to this limit. Lord Kelvin
calculates that the power now developed
from the turbines at Niagara is only
equivalent to the requirements OF about
ten ocean liners, and if the entire force of
of the mighty stream should be utilized,
it would only be equal to the power of
100 of these ships.-Scientifc American.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor. If you cannot
get IL better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
/ so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
| your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
! before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
| Judgment on them and use only the bet
| ter one.

BODY OF a WOMAN
FOUND IN BOSTON HARBoR

Boston. Mass. Dec. 26-The body of a
young woman of great beauty was found
in Pleasure Bay, South Boston, yester-
day, and everything would seem TO indi-
cate she took her life.
A boy named Stiles saw the woman
walking on the beach about noon. She
seemed nervous and stricken with grief
and her strange conduct excited his boy
iSh interest and sympathy. She tried TO
avoid him, and he stopped and watched
her until nearly out of sight At almost
the last moment she stopped. took bot
tie from under her wrap and drank from
il.
Superintendent Wedmur, of the Marine
Park. found the body of woman floating
in the waters of the bay about foTty-iive
minutes later. The medical examiner said
that death WAS due to drowning, probably
