"Oh-h, pretty WELL
We hope to be fully recovered from the eff
fects of it in a week OF two. You see, on
Christmas Eve the children were so excited
about the coming of Santa Claus that they
couldn't get to sleep. Young Mr.. Fizzleton
stayed pretty late, too, at least it seemed so

didn't agree with us. After he left, we found
that Harry's breathing was still too regular

around the door jamb into the hall.
Silence there. perfect and complete:
nobody there; those were ghostly fin

And so you shut the door securely and
go back TO your reading.
Presently you find the door open

bolt catches in the socket and has

slightest shaking or jarring starts il.
and gradually it works itself clear of
the socket, and then, if it happens to
be hung just so, the door slowly opens.

Fishing For a Drink.

A guide who has done more or less
plug fishing on MoOSelookmeguntic
lake says he can get a drink of nice
cold water when he is anchored on 4
lake, provided the water is deep
enough. For deep fishing it is customa-
ry to sound for clay bottom before
casting anchor, and our informant
claims that he can sound to secure i
cool drink. He ties a weight to the
bottom of his coffee bottle, and with
the string tied also to the cork he
drops it to the bottom: then by a quick
jerk pulls the cork, the bottle fills with
cold. clear water, and he has only to
pull it in.-Phillips PhonOgraph.

To Get n Vacuum.

Professor Dewar's achievement in liq-
uefying hydrogen has led to the dis
covcry of an easy method for obtain
ing an almost perfect vacuum, and
that in a single minute. When a glass
tube, filed with air and closed at one
end has its open end dipped into cup
of liquid hydrogen. the intense cold
condenses the air into a kind of snow
which settles to the bottom. If, then,
the upper part of the tube. from which
the solidifed air has fallen. is removed
by heating and sealing it off. it be-
comes a vacuum chamber SO free from
air that it is difficult to force an cleo
tric current through it.

an unfair and tricky manner by the
powers. That her newspapers, as re-
fiected in the extracts reprinted in yes
terday's Post-Intelligencer. now express
vigorous call upon the government To
act in its own interests. no matter
wherein they conflict with the interests
of the other nations concerned in the
Chinese partition, is logical sequence
and is full of significance.
Japan has maintained consistently
chivalrous attitude toward her fallen
Mongol foe, exhibiting a strength and
virtue of character which. If initiated
by other nations. would be to the good
Of the international world. But both
through selfishness aad through lack of
frankness the other nations, especially
Russia and Great Britain. have exceed
ed the implied promises made to Japan
when the latter country was induced
10 abandon Liaotung, have seized terri
tory under various pretenses, and have
seriously threatened the general peace
time and again. The fierce resentment
Of japanese popular opinion could have
been no less. in consequence. than it has
been, and the government of the Brit
ain of the Orient could have done no
less than intimate its intention TO do as
the other nations have done. IL a dis

Western nations is thus introduced,
those nations deserve all the unfortu-
nate consequences that may follow.
