Obituary..

Death has laid it's cold finger on
the beating pulse of Mrs. Wig, wife of
Rev. Wig, at Elkhorn, and borne her
to her rest above. Mrs. Wig had been
an invalid for years, and death but
relieves her of earthly pains to enter
to her reward of joy beyond. The
deceased was the mother of five
children, three of whom still survive
her. She was woman of rare and
beautiful traits. Through her years
OF sickness halo of goodness and
charity ever crowned her patient.
hopeful life. She scattered the sun
shine of llfe's true ideality through
the thorn strewn path of life, and
bordered every storm tossed, ship
wrecked, hungering soul with whisp-
ering myrtle and sweet scented flow
ers. She stood as sponsor for her
PASTORS whole flock, and as shep-
erdess wept over those wandering far
from the fold of life and ioy and
light, and rejoiced when the lost was
found. Such lives are IA torch light
on the horizon OF mans frailty and
ever light him on to the bourn of
eteinal JOY ana lie.
She was buried Sunday in the
cemetery at Elkhorn. Her goodness
OF life was attested by the tremendous
crowd that attended the funeral and
pressed around the bank of flowers to
catch parting glimpse of the face
they loved.

Her Timely Suggestion.

little pitchers have large ears
Every father and mother has at some
time or other had that fact impressed
upon their minds. A North Omaha
family contains a two-year-old girl
who is exceedingly precocious, and
picks up everything she hears. The
mother drinks beer by direction Of the
physician, and every other. evening her
husband takes little jug down to the
corner and brings it back filled, with
an amber fluid that foams. in the glass.
The little girl has taken due note of all
this, together with the words used by
her mamma when she wants the jug
filled.
A few evenings ago friends called,
and it happens that these friends are
very strict prohibitionists. AS the
guests sat talking with the father and
mother the little girl walked into the
room. with the jug Rugged against her
little breast. Walking up to her papa,
she exclaimed:
ooh, dear me, papa! it's dreful hot.

Expansion and Contraction OF Metals.

= Expansion and Contraction of Metals.
The figures given below are the CO.
efficients of expansion of well-known
metals. These figures represent the
amounts by which a piece of the metal
1 inch long is expanded in length on
heating it / degree Fab. Brass,
0.Oo00104 inch; aluminium, 0:000O136
inch; lead, O.O0o0163 inch; tin,
o000o124. inch; zinc, 0.0000162 inch.
From these numbers one can easily
calculate how much piece of any
length will expand on heating it from
freezing to 100 degrees. To find the
length of bar at any required tenn
perature, measure it's length and: tenn
perature. Then find the; number of
degrees it is to be heated Or cooled.
Multiply. the coeficient of expansion
by the number of degrees the bar is
to be heated, and this by the length
of the bar. The product is the ex-
pansion. To this add the original
length. If the bar is to be cooled,
subtract the expansion instead of add
inc it.

Strange Liquor to Him.


At one of our commercial hotels, a
stout, red-faced gentleman, in, a white
beaver, blue coat and buff vest, offered
to wager a sovereign that he could
close his eyes and, simply by taste,
name any kind of liquor in the house.
The bet was taken, and the process of
winning or losing. was commenced at
once. 49, ~
'sThat is genuine brandy" said the
fat gentleman, tasting from a wine
glass, land this-this is whisky and

At this wag poured out a glass Of
water, which he handed to the connois

is: that at one time it was suspected

At present most of the money is
spent by our ambassadors in foreign
countries. In order to know what kind
of foe she may have to meet, Great
Britain must be made acquainted with
the details of foreign armies, the power
and range Of their guns, their new in.
ventions in powder, shells, torpedoes
submarine boats and the like. The
country must also know what are the
intentions of other countries toward
her, and If antagonistic, endeavor tc
thwart them.
= Very valuable information OF this
kind can only be obtained by bribine
an official of foreign nation, and the
amount which one country will spend
to get such information may be gath
cred from the fact that Great Britain
paid 100000 for copy of the treaty
of Tilsit between France and Russia.
Foreign countries spend enormous
sums on secret service. France, Ger
many and Russia have their agents
everywhere, and there are very few
secrets of any nation which they do not
know, for it is, unfortunately, the case
that in the employment of all govern
ments there are men willing to betray
their country-for consideration.
The sum spent by Russia on secret
service does not fall short of three
quarters Of a million annually. Ger
many and France each spend close on
half a million, Italy nearly a quarter
of a million. and Austria about the
same. 49, -e...s5
The expenditure under this head of
smaller states, such as Belgium, eHol-
land, Denmark, Norway and Sweden,
Switzerland, Spain and Portugal is
greater than thatof England, the aver
age sum for each being about $500, 900.
Lord Salisbury the other day said that
the Transyaal spent 100000 a year
on secret service. This estimate is
about one-sixth Of the total revenue OF
that country. r Il . s% :.s .,1.s
The whole amount spent in Europe,

the growers begin to estimate the COM

with blossoms, while others will have
only a few flowers. When the first

One of the most interesting, pictur-

overworked business man, the worn

Children's Games Going Out. ;

I wish some folk-lorist would tell me
whether there is real decadence Of
children's ceremonial games. 1t seems
to me that, while I see as much Of
children as ever, do not see so much
Of the cid games as once did. When,
for instance, do the children play, the
old-fashioned "forfeits?' '.Forfeits''
with us, in the old days, was an ac-
compartment of other games, the for
feits or penalties being levied as the
result Of failures-or even in some il
