constantly. Weissmans discovery Of
the Immortality of the protozoa-tle
simplest form of animal life-demon.
living matter.
This gave science the problem of
accounting for death In the higher an.
imal organism and particularly in
man. For ten or fifteen years the sci.
entists have struggled with the prob
lem. The only attempt to answer il is
that of Prof. Virchow of Vienna, who
maintains that i'll the higher animal
organism the proteplasmic cells are
taken out of this natural environment.
This hypothesis l attack, believing
that it can be clearly shown that
marshalling of the atoms out of C a.
os into order, bringing of them into
the more orderly relation possible in
the highest organism instead OF de-
priving them of their inherent immor-
tality should only serve the higher
and fuller expression of that imortali-
ty. Men go down in disease and weak
ness to the grave because they do not
open the system to the inflow of life,
ready to pour in when the way is
open. We are all eligible to physical
Immortality, we are heirs of our for
bears only in so far as we choose TO
accept that inheritance, neglecting our
duty to better it. But our larger inner.
itance, l feel positive, is from
God-an heritance of eternal life and
endless growth, or rather a continual
ton Of this existence without the nee.
essity of dying.
81 arise in the morning, | stand in
my room, facing the east, placing my
self in an attitude of breathing from
the sun and to the sun my thoughts
conferred at the solar plexus. Begin
ming with my single breathing eXer-
cises intended to bring the system into
harmony with the larger harmony of
outer nature. From this point we pro.
coed to control and govern the breath
in its movements and attitude of the
body for longer and shorter periods
and to particular ends and objects.
"a man of highly nervous tempera-
ment is brought into poise and bal
ance through lowering his vibration.
while man of phlegmatic temporal
ment requires a rising of vibration.
This is secured by transference of
mental conditions by induction from
operator to subject. If we would know
ourselves we must get acquainted
with the sun in our bodies and give it
a chance to feel and vibrate in har.
mony with its other half. Absorb sun
shine through every pour, inhale it,
with every breath, drink it with ev-
cry draught, eat it in fullness and
sweetness and ripe lusciousness of
fruits"

He Oouldn't Solve It.

As & train was approaching town on the Great Northern railway in Ire land an intelligent looking young Irish man observed a lady standing up searching her pocket. She commenced to weep. "Have you been robbedT' he asked.
 ooh, mo-" she replied; "I've lost my ticket, and they will accuse me of fraud"
 Seeing her distressed state of mind, he said:
 "Oh, don't mind. Here, take my tick. ct, and I will give the guard prob lem," while their fellow passengers awaited the scene at the station with interest.
 When the train stopped, the guard collected all the tickets but one ''Where is your ticketT" he asked the young man.
 "You have got my ticket" he replied
 "No, I have not got it. I'll call tho station master and see about it."
 "Where is your ticket?" asked thu station master when he appeared.
 "He has my ticket. See if he has { ticket in his hand with small piece off the corner"
 "Yes, you have, Dave. There it is."
 "Well, see will that fit 1t" said Pat handing him the small piece, and i did. A look of surprise crept over thu guards face as he left the carriage while Pat caused much amusement b. exclaiming, "Begorra; knew he coult not solve it!'-London Tit-Bits.

How pearx Retrieved Wild Ducks.

How PGaEX hGIr1eVe0 W11O DuCk@s
 Lieutenant R. E. Peary, the arctic explorer, was born in Maine. He pre- pared himself for entering Bowdoin college at Fryeburg academy in Frye burg, i'll the western part of the state. The following story of Peary's early days shows his method of overcoming obstacles:
 One of his fellow toWnSmen while out hunting one day in November dis covered a flock of ducks in pond about two miles from the village. The man wanted the birds, but knew no way of getting them, even if his shot were effective, for he had no dog, and there was no boat in the pond. On his way home he met Peary and told him about the ducks and why he had not fired at them.
 "Now," said Peary, "let's go back to the pond, and if the ducks are still there I promise to retrieve all you kill"
 They returned to the pond; the ducks were undisturbed. The weather had been cold for several days, ice had formed around the shore of the pond, huu Iu0 WCIO UuhSACo OuL III open water, but within range. Merrill fired and killed two. Without more ado than if he were about to take a dip in the old swimming hole on hot | July day Peary removed his clothing, broke the ice with heavy stick and swan out, picked up the dead birds and brought them to land.-Saturday l Evening Post.

The Sign Painters.

The question has been asked of sign painters hundreds of times, (Which letter of the alphabet do you consider the hardest or most difficult to maker It is but natural to make the in quiry, for to the novice some particu- lar letters are more perpleXing than others. It is most generally conceded by some experts that the Roman capi- tai letter R" is the most difficult Others will say that an IS" is very hard to make, and many strongly con- tend that the character "&" is the hardest and most difficult of any in the entire alphabet. Practically speak ing, all of these letters are somewhat difficult, and to the young beginner they are not easily mastered.
 It has frequently been supposed that an artist of ability on account of his great talent in drawing would of course naturally make a good sign painter, but the experiment has been tried and given up with unsatisfactory results.
 An artist may draw and paint a most beautiful picture, but when it comes to forming a perfect letter he is entirely out of the race. About AZ years ago there were five we'll known artists of this city who were also ex- perts at lettering, they having learned and worked at this branch previously New York Times.

Bridge Builders' Fright.

Bridge building is a perilous bi1si- ness, and no insurance company will take any risk on the lives of super structure workers. There is one horri- ble sensation known to superstructure workers. It is something like stage fright.
 "I know once," said one of them, "when wasn't up more than 40 feet, sudden feeling came over me that couldn't get down. I looked down, and there was swift tide swirling around the edges of the piers. It seem. ed to me should surely be killed. clasped both arms around the beam on which I was working and lay there just clinging to 1t, for 20 minutes. Luck. fly for me, the foreman, who was near me, saw what was the matter and had sense enough not to speak to me. Ii he had, know should certainly have fallen off. He kept on working, and clung helplessly to the beam. Finally in gruff voice, he growled at me: Say git out O there! I want to put rivet there.' And I, obedient to an instinct of duty, found myself moving along The feeling passed away as I did move and didn't come back"

Paper CarUets In Korea.

Carpets in Korea are not of as little moment as are carpets here. They are handed down in families as heirlooms from generation to generation to be- come darkened and subdued with age. They are rugs always and are made of paper by a peculiar process. In ap- pearance they are much like the lac quered boxes which come from Japan and which are so much used as hand. kerch-ef boxes," said the old time American consul in Korea. "The na. tves always take off their sandals when they enter the house, and that fact accounts largely for the long life of the rugs. When I was there, how. ever, shocked the feelings of every one by wearing my shoes, carpets or no carpets, and during my stay com pletely wore out some of those beauti. full dark colored carpets. They are about quarter of an inch in thickness and very effective"

A Story of Amos Cummings.

One summer a number of years ago Amos Cummings passed two weeks on a pilot boat and took Ernest Jar rold. the author of Mickey Finn Idylls," with him for company. One day a great storm arose, and the pilot boat was tossed about on the waves like a chip. Every minute a wave would dash over the deck and threaten to carry everything away and swamp the boat. Cummings and Jarrold were in the little cabin, the former lying in a bunk intently reading book on the French revolution. Jarrold poked his head out to look at the storm, when a mountain of sea water fell with a boom on the deck and filled his eyes with spray. The boat gave c fearful lurch and careened until il seemed that she must turn completely over.
 ''This is awful, Amos," said Jarrold ''I'm going to put on 8 life preserver for I don't think the boat can stand 1t many minutes longer"
 ooh, keep quiet and let me read Mickey" said Cummings, never lifting his eyes from the page. "The men on this boat draw regular salary te keep her afloat."-Saturday Evening Post.

Two of Nast's Faces.

William M. Tweed was a portly man of medium size, with long, pendulous nose, little porcine eyes, fat, dropping cheeks and straight, firm mouth that was decidedly his best feature. The outlines of his face were those of a Bartlett pear, little end upward, and I never saw craft so palpably written upon a human countenance. Mast used to be fond of drawing Tweed's face, by the way, as sack of money. The general contour of his head lent itself to the outlines of the sack, and he used 5 marks for the nose and eyes. Strange to say, 1t was 8 capital DOT trait.
 Another of Nast's trick pictures was one of Roscoe Conkling. He would draw large letter V, with smaller v inside 1t and surmount the pair with an Interrogation mark upside down. The big V represented Conkling's point ed beard, the smaller one his sharp nose and the interrogation point the Hyperion curl which he always allowed to fall negligently upon his forehead. That caricature made the naughty sen- ator wild and exasperated him more than any bit of fun that was ever poked in his direction.-New Orleans Times Democrat,

A richly dressed woman entered the office of a trust company in Philadel- phia the other day to rent a box, 'Have you any one to identify youT' asked the attendant.
 Certainly not" said the woman in dignantly. Everybody knows who am."
 "That may be-" was the reply, "but don't know that you are the woman of that name."
 Just then another woman, who had been transacting some business, raised her head, and a frigid nod passed be. tween them.
 Do you know this wom0?' asked the bank official.
 "I don't want to know her," snapped the woman. "She lives next door tc me, and instructed her footman tc kick my dog, just because it chanceG to be on her step. You needn't ask me to identify her, forI won't" q wouldn't let you identify me-" re torted the applicant for box.

In the meantime the bank official, en tirely satisfied that the identification was complete, handed over the key tt the box, to the ill concealed chagri1 of the other woman, who had identified her against her will.-New York Trib une.

Paris Tm Fr0m~n

Paris has always been France. All the great movements of the country have been centered here, whether po- htical religious, social, literary or ar- tistic. So that any attempt to trace the history of the city launches one imme- diately into the study of the nation. while an effort to master the history of the French people sends one to Paris. One realizes this particularly when he comes to study the lives of her great men and women. They may have been born in the south or east or north or west, but to rise to the first rank they were obliged to seek the capital It was there they sought instruction, formed relations, began their careers. played their parts.-Scribner's.
