short the business visits of men who
do not know the value of time. Every
woman with large acquaintance con-
trives ways of avoiding the young man
ing visits is the mastery of social in

tuitive knowledge of the situation.
The clever people become bores if they
outstay their welcome We are de-
ceitful towards each other. It is the
common practice to request a visitor
to remain. This is founded on a false
notion of social etiquette. Unless there
are special reasons for it, the best bred
men and women never ask a visitor
to remain They assume that he leaves
when he desires to do SO, and TO COM
bat that desire is ill-breeding There
is a lack of frankneSs in social inter

ly all possess. No one dares TO say
to his calling guest, you have given

come from a mutual contract in which
both parties are pleased, and the visit
ends before the pleasure flags. An es-
sayist wrote: Our social intercourse
will be crude until we know when to
leave each other These questions of
social intercourse do not arise often in
rural communities or where there is a
sparse population. The isolated person
prefers a bore TO a state of isolation.
When there is large acquaintance, the
necessity for sef-preservation arises.
AS men and women become more
broadly educated, their duties multi
ply, and time has a larger value. The
chickering's, and heart burnings of So

and ignorance of the best ways of liv-
ing.

Thomson He was then, as now, professor of
natural philosophy at the University of
Glasgow Scotland, and was already making
a name for himself in the scientific world.
In 1885, when the first cable was laid, only
to break a short time afterward, Thorn
son had the problem only partially solved,
but in 1866, when the second cable was laid,
the Thomson apparatus for deep sea cabling
was practically perfected. He was
promptly knghted for his achievement by
Queen Victoria, and the whole world has
profited Immensely theretrom ever since.
In 1892 he was made a peer of the realm
with the title of Lord Kelvin. Today, at
10, he stands at the head of the modern
masters of practical science.
Considering his opportunities, the father of
Lord Kelvin was quite as extraordinary a
man as the son. Born Of Scottish stock on
a small farm in Ireland, the elder Thomson
educated himself and won the professorshp
of mathematics at Glasgow The son was
an unusually precocious lad. He entered
the University of Glasgow at H. and, after
finishing the course there studied at Cam
bridge. At IS he was upsetting the well
grounded theories of the authorities of the
times in physical science. Before he was

Most of the men who attain scientific

achievements have been accomplished since
then. His friends say that the older he
grows the harder he works. His activity is
immense. No practical or scientific prob
lem Is either too large or too small for his
attention. A bare list of his patents would
fill newspaper column. They range from
an improved water tap to the most intricate
scientific apparatus and include, am ng
other things a contrivance for deep sea
sounding that has made the navigation of
unfamiliar waters twice as safe as before IL
was invented. For the past few years he
has devoted himself mainly to electricity.
Lord Kelvin was made president Of the
Royal society Of London, the worlds most
important scientific organization, in 1891.

having straight, hard rubber stems in place
of reed stems. There are now made also
corncob pipes in various briar pipe styles,
these including pipes in the bulldog shape
with straight stem, and pipes in various
round shaped bowls with the familiar drop
ping STEM There are about twenty varieties
Of cCrncob pipes made in briar patterns,
with bits of celluloid, horn or rubber, the
end of the stem part of the pipe, into which
the bit is inserted, being in many Of these
pipes finished with a ferrule in the regular
briar style. Corncob pipes in briar designs
sell at retail at from 10 cents to so cents
apiece.
There are also made some long-stemmed
corncob pipes. An old style long stemmed
corncob pipe has a bowl of generous propor-
ii ms, made from a section OF large cob,
this bowl being fitted with a drop stem two
feet or more in length. A long -stemmed
corncob new within a year or two has
very deep bowl, made of half a cob, this
bowl being fitted with drop stem foot
or a foot and half in length, making pipe
in its general outlines something like the
familiar old deep-bowle German pipes. So,

Corncob pipes are exported to Australia

ArchdeacOn Farrar.

Were Rev. Theodore w. Farrar, ID. D.,
archdeacon of Westminster, London, an
American, he would surely be al the front
in the controversy now going on among the
Episcopalians of the United States over the
published beliefs of DR.. Briggs. 1t Is GER
tain also, that the archdeacon would favor
the liberal side of the discussion, for 1t has
long been known that he Is one OF the most
liberal-mnded ecclesiastics in all England
Moreover certain passages in his book on
the bible, published in 1897, are so like
the utterances OF DR.. Briggs that they might
easily be mistaken for his.
1T is because l deeply reverence the
bible. and because l absolutely accept the
Word of God which 1t contains says the

1t is customary among Americans, and
Englishmen, too, for the matter of that, to
give all the credit for the first successful
Atlantic cable to Cyrus w. Field, but by
right the credit should be divided. 1t is
true that Field financed the enterprise and
that he furnished the enthusiasm and per-
sistence without which Europe and America
could never have been electrically Joined
together. But the laying of a cable beneath
the ocean between the continents was not
the only essential to the success of Field

although a master in handling judges and

1t is said that Thomas A. Scott was the
discoverer of both Andrew Carnegie and
the late Frank Thomson. The former was a
telegraph operator in Scott's office, showed
himself frugal and industrious and on one
or two occasions demonstrated his ability to
meet an emergency. Colonel Scott picked
out Frank Thomson from among the young
engineers in the employ OF the Pennsylvania
railroad and put him ON difficult path,
