It Is useful to know what kind of trees are most likely to be struck by lightning, because trees afford shelter in thunderstorms. though a dangerous refuge, and they often grow near buildings. According to MT. Alexander McAdie, the eminent American meteor ologist. the order of liability to De struck Is represented by the following figures: Oak. 54; trees collectively, that is, in clump, 40; tall pine tree, 16, and beech. 1.

Diver with a Record.

The greatest diving feat ever achieved was in moving the cargo of the ship Cape Horn, wrecked off the coast of South America, when a diver named Hooper made seven descents to a depth of over 200 feet. remaining at one time forty-two minutes under the water. An authority states that the greatest depth to which man has been known to descend does not exceed 220 feet, which is equivalent to pres sure of eighty-eight and one-half pounds to the square inch.

Medicine for a scratohy Pen.

Ali pens are alike to me-" said the clever young woman, "and all pens would be alike to you if you only knew how to break them in. Don't moisten your new pen between your lips before you begin to write. Don't say charms over it or squander your substance in gold pens. Take your cheap steel pen, dip 1t into the ink, then hold it in. the flame of a match for a few seconds. wipe it carefully, dip it into the ink and you have pen that will make glad the heart within you. It is a process I have never known to fail"

arar-Erad Women.

Gray eyes belong to all heroines in up-to-date fiction and all heroines of modern short stories and novels are made to suit the prevailing taste. Moreover, the gray-eyed maid seems to have been the ideal of many novel; ists, among them Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, Wilkie Collins and Charles Reade. Emerson has de- scribed gray eyes as wells that a man might fall into, and nearly all the English poets, including Shakespeare, have had orbs of this color.

 These figures were taken from the reports of Hon. Clay Sloan, Auditor and Insurance Commissioner of Ar kansas, for the years 1896, 1897 and 1898, as to all matters except ex- penses and taxes. The expenses ard taxes were computed upon basis of 10 per cent, being about the average for the United States for the year 1897.
 From all of these figures it may be easily seen that premium rates in Arkansas could not be reduced more than an average of per cent before the companies would suffer an actual loss on their business. There were, IT, all, 63 companies do- ing business in Arkansas, repre- senting an aggregate capital of oyer one hundred million dollars.
 We can see nothing wrong with the insurance companies, but are satisfied that rates can only be re duced by improving fire conditions generally. In our cities we must have an alarm service, inn provemeuts in the water facilities and fire departments and, also, last but not least, salvage corps and fire marshal. There should also be paid some attention to architectural construction by our city authorities and the valued policy law should be repealed.
 If these improvements were adopt ed our citizens, we believe, would save on insurance rates enough money iu two years to fully pay for them.
 Let us seriously address ourselves toward remedy.ng these defects and quit cursing the insurance compa. nies.
 We think our Commercial League should take this matter in hand and push it to success. We promise our heartiest cooperation.

First Maker of speotaoles.

The invention of spectacles is often attributed to Roger Bacon, who died in 1924. Further research, however, has shown that in 1885 Sayrino Deglt Armati, a Florentine, worked glass into the form of lens as a help to vision. For him, therefore, may justly be claimed the honor of having in- vented spectaeles. He died in Flor ence in 1917 and was buried in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore

Detecting old Criminals.

The habits of old criminals are not easily laid aside. This fact is often of great service to detectives. A strange bird will be brought in who protests his innocence 1ustily. A close watch is kept on him, as his past Is not known. The first morning he awakens in prison, if he be an old-timsr. be will get up and fold his bed away nine times out of ten in fashion that proves his experience in the coop. If he does not do this he invariably will fall Into line in the procession and do the lockstep in manner that gives hfs Rame away

Fully Two Thousand People Crowded

Words.

Evangelist Moody preached again yes

First Congregational Church. Fully two
thousand crowded into the edifice and re-
manned attentive until Mr.. Moody ceased
to speak. About thirty ministers of the
gospel occupied seats on the platform. and
to them, not as individuals but as
body Moody gave. advice.
The day is past" said the evangelist,
when a man of God should endeavor to
expOund his own theories and moralize on
the words of God. Let him teach his flock
the Bible from beginning to end. Christ s
words need no explanation. They are
written in black and white in the holy
book and 1t should be the desire of min
lister more than anything else to impress
the Importance of studying the Bible on
those whom he has undertaken to lead TO
heaven.
"This habit of taking a text from the
Bible as a basis for sermon and AFTER
reading II to his congregation overlook 1t
altogethef to soar into orator1cal nights
of fancy is wrong. Oratorical ministers
are never successful unless they adhere
strictly to the word of God. 1t should
not be the province of a minister to give
his people something new That practice

old Bible. OF course l am casting no re-
