rev. Charles Sheldon n England

The Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon of To-
peka made n deep impression upon the
thousands of young people who attend
ed the recent Christian Endeavor con
vention in London. He refused to
don the English top hat and frock coat
vet managed to command respect. He
lectured the Britishers pretty severely
about their barmaids and their whole
sale inebriety. Indeed there was no ev-
idence in anything he said in a week of
much speaking that he had contracted
even light form of Anglomania. Mr..
Sheldon refused to be interviewed. He
refused to answer a question as to
what he deemed the secret of his pop
ularity and influence. He would not
discuss his books at ALL He said that
at some future time he might under
take an analysis of his literary efforts.
When he returns to the United States
Mr.. Sheldon will devote himself with
renewed energy to fiction designed to
promote the cause of Christianity.

Cigarette Smoking in Scotland.

Cigarette smoking has increased 20
much of late among the boys of Edin-
burgh that the school board has issued
a strongly worded circular to parents
and guardians. asking their co-opera-
ton in attempting to suppress this in
furious habit. All over the country
one sees mites of boys smoking, and
they seem to be able to procure cigar
cites at very cheap rate-in some
cases three or four for penny. The
school board enumerates whole cata-
logue of evils resulting from cigarette
smoking and appeals to parents to ex-
ercise their authority to prevent their
boys from beginning the practice.

STRONG ITALIAN WOMEN.
Easily Bear Burdens That an American
Man Couldn't Tote.

MAN COpldn't Tote.
1t is no uncommon sight to see
Italian women walking along the
streets balancing burdens on their
heads that the average man would pre-
fer to have sent home on a truck A
few days ago one of these women
passed through City Hall park, New
York city. On her head she was car
rying what appeared to be the entire
woodwork from the interior of some
house. The bundle was made up of
eight pieces of hard wood, the short
est being fully II feet in length Each
piece was six inches in width and an
inch thick. The woman steadied this
burden with one hand, while in the
other she carried what one would con-
slider good load for one person in
the shape of bundle of shorter pieces
of wood.
AS she turned into Centre street the
end of the load of lumber on her head
came in contact with the head of a
man who was going in the opposite di-
rection. In order TO prevent hitting

den fell to the walk In vain she tried
to replace it on her head. At last two
men took hold of it, one at each end.
They found that even their combined
strength was just sufficient to life it
up and place it on the womans head
again. When the wood was finally
adjusted in proper position the WON.
an picked up her smaller bundle and
started up Centre street.

Never Closes Its Eyes.

The snake never closes its eyes
Sleeping or waking, alive or dead, it's
eyes are always wide open. This is
because snakes have no eyelids. The
eye is protected only by strong
scale, which forms part of the epider-
mis- envelope, and is cast off in a
piece with that every time the reptile
moults. 4uis eye-scale is as clear and
transparent as glass. and allows the
most perfect vision, while, at the same
time, it is so hard and tough as to pro-
