BURGLAR GUN.
Recent Clever Invention
of Akron Man.
Peculiar Circumstances Leading to It's
Origin Told by MIR. Carl.

Matthias Carl, the electrician,
whose recent invention, the burglar
gun. has created much favorable
comment, first demonstrated the
practicability of mis- invention by
rigging up one of the machine to
guard his fathers watermelon patch.
He connected the apparatus with a
long string in such manner that an
intending marauder would brush
against the string and cause the
guns charge to explode. The thief,
not knowing what had happened,
would imagine that some one was

"FamiIy" In the Census.

There are some queer features about
the census use of the word family"
1t means practically those who eat at
the same table. \ hotel is family.
The Memorial Hall Dining association
at Cambridge is a family: SO is the
Danvers Lunatic asylum. A stray man
who keeps bachelors hail is a family.
The necessity for this use of the term
came with the question of enumerat-
ing domestic servants. 1t was found
absolutely impossible to attach them
to their own families, scattered as they
are. They had to go with the family
they were living with. This led to a
continuation of the principle, with the
result mentioned. As it works out the
census family differs from the actual
family in size only by a small fraction

A Menace to Godliness.

Far more dangerous to true sodliness
is that spirit among Christians which
loves to mingle with the world and con-
forms itself to it. And this is the great
temptation of Christians today. They
allow themselves to be lost in the
world pleasures and concerns and have
no time for secret meditation. Caught
mp by the whiri Of this busy. giddy life.
they have no desire for communion
with God and do not know the value of
solicitude They find no time to think
on things" that are lovely and Of
good report. P" They have turned their
ears to the noises of this world and are
deaf to the message of the Hstill small
voice Lutheran.
