the assistant said:
You may not believe in love po-

shows that our customers do. But
then you don't believe that the one

That night when Johnny knelt at
his mothers knee, saying his evening
prayer, he said as usual: please,
Lord, bless grandmamma and take care
of her: bless father and take care of
him; but you needn't trouble about
mother, because I'm going to take care
of her."
1t was the evening hour again, and
Lucy knelt to lisp her evening prayer.
Her little heart was bursting with
self-satisfaction-sh had been so eX-
emplary all through the day.
"Oh, Lordi" she said, make me very
good, even better than I am"
Jim's mother sent him downstairs in
the dark, saying: Don't be afraid,

Her University Plans.

NEW YORK, Nov. Mrs. Leland
Stanford, who recently returned from
Europe plans to leave for California
where she will spend the winter. AT
the Fifth Avenue Hotel she discussed
the great university in a general way
and outlined some of her plans for it's
future. She said: The university has
now 1,4OO students-500 girls and 900
boys. l have limited the number OF
girls who can attend to 500, as there
was such an influx of them that they
outnumbered the boys and threatened
to destroy the identity of the university
as a masculine seat of learning, which
it should be, since it is in commemora-
ton of my son.
In the library / am about to place
three stained-glass windows. The CEN
ter one is Holman Hunts Light of the
World and this motto appears be-
meath 1t: / bring peace to this house.
The one on the left represents Moses
sitting with his tablets and writing the
commandments, while that on the left
portrays Thomas attempts with the
Imitation of Christ in his hands. |
am firm believer in object teaching.
Before | left California | told my
architects to consult with DR.. Jordan,
the president of the university, as to
what further buildings he needed and
they will be devoted to chemistry and
art. The plans are now awaiting my
The main archway of the outer
quadrangle Governor Stanford planned
as a memorial arch. 1t is 100 feet high
and 81 feet wide. Mr.. Stanford sent
for st. Gaudens, the sculptor, and told
him that he wanted bas relief, with
figures of heroic size, depicting the his
tory of American civilization. ST. Gau-
dens has completed the plans for this
bas relief, and they are really wonder
full. Ehe civilization begins with the
Indian wickiup and is brought down,
step by step, to the present day. When
completed it will be placed on the arch
twenty feet from the top, and will be
twelve feet wide.
In all that | have done since my

RUBBER-TIRED POLICEMEN.

Washington, Ind, has a gum shoe
police force. Every policeman in the
department is required by the chief to
wear shoes with rubber soles and heels,
in order, like fairy godmother, to slip
up noiselessly upon any person who
may be in mischief and nab him when
he least expects it.
If a patrolman reports for duty
without his gum shoes he is immedi-
ately reprimanded, and is compelled to
give cause for such base neglect OF
duty. If the offence is committed
three times the copper would better
be on the lookout for a new job
The advantages of a rubber-tired po-
lice force are obvious. The actual ex-
perience of a travelling man in Wash
ington proves the wisdom of the rub
ber-clad feet.
Washington, Ind, has the most eff
cient police force in the country" said

one of those rubber-tired policemen at
my back. He made no more noise in
entering the saloon than a sparrow
would in lighting on telegraph pole.
"The next night a genial coterie OF
travelling men got together to have a
game Of hearts. [ didn't want to play
poker, for | hadn't dallied with the
pasteboards for so long that I knew
would play a losing game. We went to
room over a saloon, and the game
commenced. Suddenly a policeman ap-
peared as If by magic. He peered all
around, and upon finding that it was a
social game departed.

walk. Everything was quiet as could

THE RIGHTS OF PEDESTRIANS.

1t is the theory of common law that
human life always takes precedence of
human convenience, but the practice
varies greatly in different cities,
whether this theory is a fiction Or
fact. Boston has lessened the danger
to life in crowded thoroughfares and
given an object lesson to her sister cit
les by awarding the right of way to
pedestrians, and Furnishing severely ac-
cidents arising from careless observ-
ance of this law This is the only
means of safeguarding the public-to
give the right of way by law to pedes-
trians, and to hold drivers, motormen
and others in control of vehicles TO rig
id responsibility for losses of life and
limb This law would also suppose an
obligation on the part of vehicles to
keep a certain distance apart-there is
such an obligation here, but it is not
generally enfOrced-and what is more
important still, a compulsory arrange
ment Of Street-car schedules making
allowance for accidents and delays; for
when schedules are pared down to the
minute, the temptation to make up lost
time, and SO endanger pedestrians, is
simply irresistible.
WIFI SuSI I6SuldtlOllS anu d SLI iCl
enforcement of them on the part of the
authorities, the street would be made
comparatively safe, accidents would be
reduced to a minimum and would be
largely confined to people whose own
carelessnesS induces them to take risks
for which themselves alone are respon-
sible. To save time and annihilate dis
lance are highly important in these
busy times, and business men appre-
ciate all efforts to attain this two-fold
object But when this result can be
attained only at expense to human life,
and when travel in the streets, which
should be free to all, becomes men
ace to the old, the infirm, the timid.
and to little children. 1t is better to
call q halt on methods which benefit
some classes of citizens only at the
risk of killing and manning others

4 NEGLECTED CLASS.

The Christian EndeaVOr societies
through the state OF New York,
through their state union, are prepar-
ing to arrange a systematic plan to
aid discharged prisoners from peniten-
tiaries, state prisons and reformatc-
ries. to lead better life. The socie-
ties in places where prisons are located
will keep in touch with the wardens
of prisons and when a prisoner is dis
charged it will be ascertained where
he is going and if he really wants to
reform. If so the society in the place
where he is geing will be notified and
an effort will be made to find him
friends and get him employment. Su-
perintendent Of Prisons c. Y. Collins
is in favor of the movement and will
aid its further action every way he
can.

4 QUICKSILVER FOUNTAIN
Household Flatirons Float Lightly on
It's Surface

Probably the most ingenious, not tc
say expensive, fountain ever devised
is to be seen in operation daily in the
| Queensland section Of the Greater Bri-
tain Exhibition, Earl's Court. It has
taken clever young engineer, Charles
Bright, F. r. S. E, over three months
10 overcome the difficulties of produ-
cling anything like an appreciate effect
on the public eye.
Quicksilver, or mercury, is a very
difficult mineral to deal with. It is
tremendously heavy, being at least
four times heavier than water, has a
peculiar quality of disappearing any
where and everywhere on the slightest
provocation, and is SO expensive that
few can indulge in so interesting a
luxury as quicksilver cascade.
The metal in the Earl's Court foun-
tain falls from an upper bowl. four feet
in diameter, to a basin seven feet be-
low. Both OF these basins. as well as
the ornamental supporting pillar, are
constructed of iron, painted dull black
to heighten the effect.
Owing to the great cost of the mer-
curry (2s. Cd. a pound), one of the
main problems was to devise the APP
paratus so as TO get rid of any posi-
bility of waste Hence, anything like
a Niagara Falls Of mercury was out OF
the question. The top bowl is, in fact,
sixty-four small channels radiating
from the centre to the outward edge.
From the centre the quicksilver is thus
distributed evenly over the edge, and
drops in silvery streaks into the basin
below, where, curious to relate, two
household fiatirons float about as airily
as if they were ducks on a mill pond
q striking object lesson, proving the
wonderful densit- OF the liquid.
From the lower bow there is a
dranpipe 80 feet long nd / inch in
diameter, which conveys the mercury
to tank at d slightly lower level,
forming the supply - IN elevator ap-
paratus for proviG:ls the necessary
head Of mercury. me form Of ela-
vator adopted consists Of a number OF
small, thickiy set steel buckets freely
at intervals on an endless
bicycle chain, which is conveyed
the storage tank.
AS each bucket dips into the latter
fitting device insures it picking up
all the mercury which it will convent
entity hold. The buckets are then car
ried upward to a reservoir tank some
fourteen feet above, where each in
turn, by means of a similar fitting ar
rangement, is emptied. From this up
per tank the mercury is conducted by
a pipe 1O6 feet in length to the upper
basin of the fountain.

VALUABLE STAMP.
1t Was Burned Up After Many Tray
els and Adventures

1t Was Burned Up After Many Tray
els and Adventures.
IN the year 1851 12-penny black Ca
madam postage stamp was printed by
the Government at Ottawa. The pub
lie did not regard this somber issue
with favor, SO few were issued.
One Of these stamps was sent to the
Hamilton postOffice, whore it was sold
to an old gentleman, who said it was a
shame to print the Queens picture on
a stamp that might be handled by pro-
fame hands. Tenderly the gentleman
put it on a parcel, sending it to a
friend in the United States Here, in
the waste basket, it lay for many a
day, till an errand boy found 1t and
quickly transferred it to his album
Despairing of getting good collection,
and his fever for stamps somewhat
abating, he sold them to a dealer The
new owner, on looking at the cata-
logue, found that what he had paid S.
for was worth S25.
Accidentally this stamp was slipped
into a 25-cent packet and sent to a
dealer residing in Hamilton. When
the latter opened the packet he was
astonished to find such valuable
stamp, and, being honest, wrote his
friend to inform him of what had hap
pened offering him 1900 for it. The
offer was accepted and the stamp
again changed hands. BY this time the
stamp had increased in value, and not
a few came from distance to look at
the treasure. One day an English no.
bleman, who through Canadian
friend had heard OF the stamp, offered
$500, which offer was accepted. The
English lord, falling in love with an
American heiress ard wishing to gain
the favor Of her brother. presented him
with the stamp as a token of esteem.
Here, in it's new and luxurious Ameri-
can home, it came to sad end for one
day the maid by mistake swept the
stamp, which had accidentally fallen
out of the album, into the fire. In an
instant the stamp which thousands had
heard OF and longed for went up in
smoke to the broad, blue sky, not ieav-
ing trace. behind.-Philadelp
