People often wonder what makes the

the explanation Is simple. As the water
heats little bubbles of steam are formed
at the bottom OF the kettle. These rush
upward and, being attracted to the s.des

sets the metal In vibration and the kettle

CARLYLE OLE the Lords Prayer,

Carlyle, although disciple Of the
skeptical philosophy, living 4 prayerless
life, once wrote to his friend, Thomas
Erskine, the following testimony to the
adaptability of the Lords Prayer to
mans nature:
"'Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done What else
can we say? The other night, In my
sleepless tossings about, which were
growing more and more miserable,
these words Of that brief and grand
prayer came strangely into my mind
with an altogether new emphasis, as If
within, and shining for me In mild,
pure splendor on the black bosom Of
the night, when 1, as 1t were, read
them word by word. with a sudden
check to my imperfect wanderings,
with q sudden softness Of composure
which was much unexpected.
Not for perhaps 80 or 40 years
had ever formally repeated that
prayer-naJ, l never felt before how
intensely the voice of mans soul 1t is;
the inmost aspiration Of all that is
high and pious in poor human nature;
right worthy to be recommended with
an After this manner pray ye.' >"

It is said that DR.. Nansen has re-
solved to enter the lists as an antarctic
explorer. Letters received in London
from him state that he hopes to have
an expedition organized and ready to
start In 1902. He is at present engaged
In preparing his plans and Will en-
deavor to shape them so that he may
supplement- the work which the British
and German expeditions propose to &C.
complish. DR.. Nansen intends to go to
Berlin for the international congress
of geographers, and as Sir Clements
Markham and Sir John Murray will
also be there to meet Professor Won
Drygalski, the leader Of the German
expedition, an antarctic conference will
be held, at which general plan Of ac-
ton can be decided upon.

Choosing a Bishop by Chance.

A simple but novel ceremony occur
red at Millersville, Pa, recently. A
great multitude of people assembled at
the old Mennonite meeting house to
witness the choice of bishop by lot.
There was q large number Of Men
MONTE preachers present, and four Of
their number were candidates for the
exalted office. The method Of choice
was unique, although it is in common
use among the Mennonites. After a
season of fervent prayer for divine
direction the four candidates were
called forward, and four Bibles exactly
similar in size and binding were placed
before them. Under the fly leaf Of one
of these Bibles piece of blank paper
had been placed. The Bibles had been
thoroughly mixed up, and the can
didates were then invited to make their
selection.
The successful candidate was Rev.
Abram Herr, who was thereupon de-
clared to be bishop and was immedi-
ately ordained. The new bishop Is a
descendant of Hans Herr, the leader Of
one Of the first parties of pioneer Men
nonites who settled in eastern Pennsyl-
vania nearly 200 years ago.-Christian
Advocate.

1--WE Need II Licking"

Apropos Of the proposed anglo
American alliauce." the story Of Hor-
ace Greeley's neat rebuke of the Eng
Iishman who once agreed with him too
literally may be worth telling. Mr.
Greeley was discussing in general
company the faults and needs of his
own nation.
what this country needs, said he
In his piping voice and Yankee accent
as real good licking"
1t happened that there was an Eng
lishman present. and he promptly said'
with unmistaknble English accent:
Quite right Mr.. Greeley. quite right.
The country needs a licking"
But Mr.. Greeley. without glancing In
the Englishmans direction or seeming
to pay any attention to the Interrupt
ton, went on in the same squeaky
tone:
But the trouble Is there's no nation
that can give 1t to usr-Youth's Com
panlOn.

The Kennebec (Ae) Journal tells this
stor- 1.-The committee on library In the
Sunday school of q church In one of
Portland's suburban villages recently
determined that some Of the books In
the library were not exactly proper
for Sunday school books and took II
upon themselves to expurgate the IL
Drary. The books In question were OF
q very high class from literary stand
point, and the objection to them was
that they did not teach religion, as
Sunday school books should.
1.-THE committee went over the library
carefully and picked out the volumes
which did no, meet their ideas Of what
the Sunday school standard should De
having previously determined that they
should be burned. When they had been
laid aside. however. il WAS decided that
1t was 100 bad TO burn them. and the
matter was finally compromised by
voting to present them to the library
Of the other church in town.

THEY CAME BACK?
A Lover In a Horse and a Letter Car
rier In q Dog.


Some time ago story was told about
q horse which was owned by farmer
at Lish, n. Y, which showed its fond
ness for young woman Of that place
In such a marked and unmistakable
manner that some people Of the place
expressed the belief that the spirit Of
the young woman's lover, who had died
few years before the horse appeared
on the scene, had returned in the horse.
The young man, the story went, was
firm believer in the TRANSPORTATION OF
souls, and before his death he called
his sweetheart and told her that even
If he died he would always be with
her In some form, and would In any
form demonstrate his affection for her.
The young woman, Miss Davis, ac-
quired possession Of the animal, and,
although she did not subscribe to the
theory advanced by some Of her
friends, named the animal Jesse, after
Ter dead lover, and had comfortable
room built next to the house, in which
he was maintained in horse luxury.
A TRANSPORTATION story with less ro-
nance comes from Albany. A prac-
ticlng physician in that place owns 8
handsome Irish setter The dog is q
great pet in the family and is remark
ably intelligent
"He minds his own business, has no
bad habits, and would be perfect If it
werenot for one trick" said the owner,
land we forgive him that since we
know the reason for it."
The setter takes every opportunity
to get out of the house early in the
morning, and it is noticed that when
ever he gets away he makes a straight
dash down the Capitol hill and never
stops until he gets to the postoffice.
There the dog waits until the letter
carriers come out with their delivery
pouches, and the first man In the street
has the dogs company until he returns
to the postotfice. He has no favorite
on the force; any letter carrier seems
to suit his purpose, and his anxiety to
make the rounds, his familiarity with
the hours Of duty, and his friendship
for the uniformed carriers have caused
many people to point to the dog as
proof that there IS something in the
transmigration Of souls theory, and
that the spirit Of a tired out carrier has
found its way into the dashing setter

A Present Evil.

Many man falling sick In one OF
these boarding houses or hotels has
been kindly watched and nurscd, and
by the memory of her own sufferings
and losses the lady at the head of such
n house has done all that mother
could do for sick child. and the slum-
berless eye of God sees and appreciates
her sacrifices In behalf of the stranger
Among the most marvellous cases Of
patience and Christian fidelity are
many of those who keep boarding
houses, enduring without resentment
the unreasonable demands OF their
guests for expensive food and atten-
lions for which they are not willing TO
pay an eQuivalent-a lot OF cranky
men and women who are not worthy
to tie the shoe of their queenly cater
er. The outrageous way In which
boarders sometimes act to their land
lords and landladles shows that these
critical guests had bad early rearing
and that in the making up OF their ma
lures all that constitutes the gentle
man and lady was left out. Some OF
the most princely men and some OF the
most elegant women that know of to-
day keep hotels and boarding houses.
But one Of the great evils OF tins day
Is found In the fact that large popu
lation Of our towns aud cities are CIV
Ing I'D and have given up their homes
and taken apartments. that they may
have more freedom from domestic du'
ties and more time for social life anu
because they like the whirl OF publicity
better than the quiet and privacy OF a
residence they can COLL their own. The
lawful use Of these hotels and board
Ing houses Is for most people while
they are in transitu; but as terminus
they are in many cases decentralization,
utter and complete That Is the point
Mt which families lnnumerable have
begun to disintegrate. There never has
been q time when so many families
healthy and abundantly able to sup
port and direct homes Of their own,
have struck tent and taken permanent
abode in these public establishments.
