Two facts hardest for the average man
to credit are the love Of God his Father
and unselfsh motives on the part Of his
brother man. Professor Graham Taylor
Of Chicago had a startling demonstration
house for his college settlement.
Two brothers had control of the prop
erty, and one Of them asked:

your money out Of itr'

"What is there in it for you, then?"
"Nothing-except home"
"Do you mean that you are going to
live there?"
Exactly"
"Do you mean to say that you people
who could live on Ashland boulevard are
going to make your home deliberately
down here among Italians and Polacks,
in this dirt and smoker"
"That is precisely what mean"
"And not to have any home but this"
''That exactly"
The young man looked at the professor
long time, and then, turning to his
brother, exclaimed, well, brother, there
are such people in the world, suppose,
but this is the first one I ever saw!-

Observant men are calling attention to
the designs Of automobiles and remarkins
that none Of the makers seem able to
get away from the style of vehicle that
has been designed to run behind horse.
All the automobiles have dashboards-
for instance, contrivances that were orig.
inally intended to protect the driver from
the mud of the roadway thrown up b.
the hoofs of the horses. As the auto-
mobiles, being horseless, must also b
hoofess the dashboard seems super6usus.
SO far no one has designed an automobile
with a whip socket, but 1t seems likely
that some one will as the styles multiply.
After all, considering the liability 70
accident in the machinery, It is perhaps
as well to have the dashboard and tho
whip socket. A pair Of shafts which
could be drawn back under the body Of
the carriage might prove useful occasion
ally should one discover that his gasoline
or compressed air was giving out some
distance from home.-Worcester Gasstts.

BIBLE TEXTS ON GOLD LEAF.
Explanation of . CuFfoas Practice Of
English Gold Beaters.

Explanation of . CuPfoas Practice Of
English Gold Beaters.
People outside Of regular dealers in
gold leaf are occasionally surprised when
they purchase books Of the material to
find that the paper leaves between the
sheets of gold have texts Of Scripture
printed ON them. Looking closer they
find that the paper leaves are actually
cut from the Bible. Speaking Of this
the head of New York firm which deals
In gold leaf said:
1.-THE gold leaf which is put up in
books made from paper leaves cut from
the Bible comes from England. There
Is no intention to be irreverent ~ pack
ing the gold leaf in this way. Most Of
1t goes to the stores where they sell
artists materials, and is packed between
printed sheets because the slight in
dentations In the paper made BY the
printing serve to hold the delicate hlm Of
gold in place.
"Why is it that the Bible is generally
used? Simply for the reason that the
Bible is usually printed in small type and
ID always very evenly set, and the i'm
preston Of the type on the paper is very
slight, but enough to hold the gold leaf
in place without injuring 1t. Another
book that is used for the same purpose
Is the book of common prayer, the small
tyne editions, of course. The paper Is
always very fine and smooth and when
printed the leaves are just adapted for
the purpose of holding the gold leaf.
1.-THE first time that was asked for an
explanation on this point was when l
had a store for the sale of artists materi-
ais. A gentleman who bought several
books of English made gold leaf came to
me and asked me IL paper was so scarce
where the gold leaf was made that they
had to cut up Bibles for the purpose of
packing the leaf. He had noticed that
the sheets Of gold leaf were packed be-
tween sheets of printed paper, but paid
no attention to 1t until his eye caught
Scriptural text that had often puzzled
him. 1t was the passage Iron sharpeneth
iron; SO man sharpeneth the counte-
the gold leaf was placed between cut up
pages of the Bible. He seemed to think
that the sheets of the Bible were used by
some religious manufacturer who thought
some one might be converted by reading
a stray text. He said he was almost
startled when he read the text he was
puzzling over and looked disapp
when l explained in matter Of
way why pages Of the Bible were use.
"Once or twice very excellent peol
who bought this gold leaf from me were
indignant when they found that the Bible
was cut up to hold 1t, and told me l
should not encourage the proclamation by
selling that kind Of leaf. Others who
were of a different temperament said
they were glad to see it, as it might lead
to some people reading texts of Scrip
ture, by glancing with curiosity at the
printed sheets, who never took Bible in
their hands. They held that no matter
what form it took it was good thing to
circulate texts of Scripture. New York

A Hale Old Couple.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Pendergrass, who
live near Scottsville, are perhaps the old
est and most remarkable couple in Ken
lucky. Mr.. Pendergrass is nearing his
ninety-seventh year and frequently walks
from his farm to Scottsyille, a distance
of FIVE miles. Recently his eyesight be-
gan to fail, but with this exception his
faculties are as active as when 40 years
of age. He has followed the pursuit Of
farming all of his life, can do as much
work in day as young han and has
scarcely been i'll for more than a day in
70 years.
His wife is one year his senior and is
more vigorous than most women at so.
She readily threads cambria needle
without the aid of glasses, and age does
not appear to have impaired her facul-
ties in the least This aged couple, who
have reared to manhood and womanhood
II children, all of whom are married,
living and have children, not only bid
fair to reach the century mark, but from
all indications will be in many respects
young when they shall have rounded out
100 years upon earth.-Scottsville (Ky)

A Spellbinder Indeed!

The Hon. Letcher Owsley Of Lancas-
ter, KY, the speaker of the day, was
then introduced, and from his lips there
came one of those matchless gems Of
oratory that inspire the soul with better
thoughts and higher aims and lift man
kind above the sordd things Of earth to
a realm of bliss. With that eloquence
born of young life descended from one
of those grand old strains that have
made Kentucky famous for her brilliant
sons and lovely daughters the speaker
wove into one grand, sweet song the
most beautiful, the most sublime
thoughts, and as he spoke living picture
of that friendship, that fraternal love.
that binds all men together in one COM
mon brotherhood framed itself in the
hearts Of his hearers. The audience sat
as if spellbound throughout, and when
the speaker had finished there was uni
versal regret that the ripping music Of
his words could not, like Tennyson's
brook, flow on Observation-Disclosures Sun.

Philndelphia'a East TrolleYH.

"a Philadelphia sojourning in New
York last week." says the Philadelphia
Record, took his 5-year-old boy with
him and, after travelling about the
streets for a time, viewing the various
points of interest, had occasion to use
one of the cross town horse cars which
still creep along in their almost mediae-
val way. The child had been greatly
interested in the tall buildings, the hur-
rying crowds and particularly In the ele-
waited roads, but the horse cars were the
greatest surprise, as he had never seen
anything but the trolleys. To his youth
full mind they were also a startling i'm
provement, and he kept repeating: oh,
papa, why don't we have horses pull the
cars at home? They're so FAST"

Good Reasons For Going to Church.

II should say" writes Rev. Amory H.
Bradford, D. D., on what Is the Good
of Going to church," in Ladies Home
Journal, "attend church that you may
worship God; that you may learn Of
the things of the spirit; that you may be
brought face to face with the doctrine Of
grace which in hours of deepest need
alone can satisfy either the mind or the
heart. If you answer, L believe in none
of these things then reply, Attend
church that you may hear the loftiest
ideals presented by those who have no
selfish ends to subserve, and that you
may be kept sensitive to the moral order
Of the world In which all men are includ-
ed, the violation of which means ruin and
misery, and harmony with which is fol-
lowed by benefit and blessing"

Colds.

have often noticed that persons who
suffer most frequently and severely from
colds usually insist that they exercise the
greatest care to avoid exposure. Thus
says a writer in Popular Science Monthly
and, continuing, says: "They have dressed
in the warmest clothing, wrapped the neck
In the heaviest muffiers, remained In the
closest rooms and avoided every draft, and
yet they continually take cold. The street
urchin, on the other hand, with only two
or three garments and without shoes and
who lives out of doors, suffers less fire..

Of the future. Ihey are trying 10 peep
into things they have no business with.
Take Care of the Present.
Do not go to some necromancer or spir-
uualist or sOothsayer or fortune teller to
find out what is going to happen to your
self or your family or your friends. Wait
till Christ breaks the seal to find out
whether In your own personal life or the
life of the nation or the life of the world
1t is going to be the white horse Of pros
perity or the red horse of war or the
black horse of famine. You will soon
enough see him paw and hear him neigh.
Take care of the present, and the future
will take care of itself. If a man live
70 years, his biography is in scrol hay
ing at least seven seals. And let him not
during the first ten years of his life try to
look into the twenties, nor the twenties
into the thirties, nor the thirties into the
forties, nor the forties into the ffties, nor
the fifties into the sixties, nor the sixties
into the seventies. From the way the
years have got the habit of racing along
l guess you will not have to wait a greaS
while before all the seals of the future
are broken. l would not give cents to
know how long am going to live or in
what day of what year the world is going
to be demolished. l would rather give
$1,000 not to know. Suppose some one
could break the next seal in the scroll of
your personal history and should tell you
that on the next 4th Of July. 1901, you
were to die, the summer after next, how
much would You be good for between this
and that? 1t would from now until then
be a prolonged funeral. You would be
counting the months and the days, and
your family and friends would be count
ing them, and next 4th of July you
would rub your hands together and
whine: Zone year from today am to go.
Dear me! / wish no one had told me so
long before. wish that necromancer
had not broken the seal of the future"
And meeting some undertaken, you would
say: II hone YOU will keep yourself free

-
John AndersOn's Watch.
The jury in the case. Of the state VS..
Lawrence Dunsworth, charged with grand
larceny IN the first degree. returned a
verdict or acquittal last evening after
short deiiberation. The case was on trial
all DAY yesterday before Judge Kelly In
district court
Dunsworth was accused of having held
up John Anderson on the night Of March
~ at the corner of Seventh and Pine
streets. According to Anderson. who
lives at 25S East Sixth street, he was
staining on the corner shortly before
midnight and suddenly felt tug at his
watch chain. A moment later he saw a
man running away down Pine street and
presumably carrying with him Andcr-
son watch, which he valued at $25.
Patrolman Peterson saw the occur
renee. from across the street and started
IN pursuit Of the thief, who escaped. An
hour later the officer arrested Dunsworth
at Seventh and Locust streets.
On the witness stand Anderson told
the story OF the hold-up. but could not
positively identify Dunsworth, although
ne SAID there was a. marked resemblance
The man had worn a grey oyercoat. The
patroiman who made the arrest was more
certain that 1t was Dunsworth who did
the work. He had been able to obtain
a good look at the fugitive and was sure
tnat the runaway was the prisoner
Dunsworth's mother and sister testified
that he had no grey overcoat and wore
none at all on the night of the hold UP.
linen several witnesses testified that the
prisoner had been drinking In their COM
pany all the evening and could not pos-
slbly have been in sthe vicinity of Sew
enth and Pine. streets
