THRIFT OF A CLERGYMAN.
The Letters whose Backs He Used
for sermon Copy Made Anus
ing Reading.

Habits OF thrift are generally COM
mendable, but sometimes they give
cause for amusement without the per-
son practicing them being aware of it,
This was the case recently with a
well-known Clergyman, whose church
is one of the most fourishing OF it's
denomination in the city.
This clergyman receives n salary OF
$4,000 n year. and has in addition n
comfortable income of his own. He is
q liberal giver TO many charities, lives
in handsome brown stone house, and
apparently has less reason for econ
omy than the average citizen, yet he
has one habit--perhaps better, one i'd
iosyncrasy--that might well be taken
as an indication of poverty by those
who did not know the clergyman.
With Unborn Scotch thrift the minis
ter makes use Of the blank side of the
letters he receives when they are writ
ten ION one side only"
He was asked recently TO prepare an
article for n magazine. In due time
the manuscript reached the editor,
each page of IL written on the back
of an old letter, and IL was only too
evident that he had paid no atten-
ton to whether or not the letters
were of n personal character.
The letters furnished rather GU
rious commentary on the sort of let
tiers metropolitan clergyman re-
ceives. Among them were:
A notice from an insurance com
pany that his policy had lapsed, ow-
ing TO the non-payment of $156 pre-

agent OF n railway refusing his re-
quest that pass from New York 70

WIRELESS TELEPHONES

Sir William Freezes wireless tele-

Morse principle, has caused great in

been made the subject of statement
by DIR. Peter Stiens, who has been hard
at work for years on a system of wire
less telephony.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of the London Central News DIR.
Stiens said:
II have read some account of Sir Will
liam Freezes wireless telephone ex-
periments, but / may say that am not
working on Herzian waves at all. My
principle is that of using only one
means of conduction-namely, the
earth. 1 simply send electricity

high poles or balloons or anything OF
that kind is required for my system.
my apparatus is small and portable.
or course, l cannot, for obvious reasons,
just at present tell you about its con-
struction and method of use. i have
not had an opportunity of examining
Sir William Freezes system, but l see
that in the newspaper account all that
il claimed for it is that the users can
hear taps, which, when used az Morse
system, can be utilized in the sending
OF messages.

to be able TO use his invention one must
be telegraph operator or other person

course / don't know what Sir William
has in mind for the future, but claim
that by my invention not only taps,
but the spoken words, the sound Of the
human voice, can be heard and that at
great distances with excellent results.

series OF practical demonstrations in
the presence Of electrical experts"

RATE OF NAIL GROWTH.
IL Is Influenced by External ana In
ternaI Conditions, by Climate
and Disposition.

A considerable divergence OF opinion
exists as TO the rate at which the finger
nails grow. Bean gives as rule that
the nails of the hand grow one nm.
per week. At this rate the nails, which
average IS nm. in length, would take
105 days to grow out. Dufour gives
1911 TO 1873 days. The fact is, the pace
OF growth varies very much, not only.
at different ages, but in different indi-
yiduals of the same age. Influenced
by many external and internal condi-
tions, the pace also varies in the Same
person from time to time. A few OBJ
seryations will be submitted TO the
notice OF the readers as to the growth
OF finger nails in men at different ages.
At 81 years the nail was replaced in
1926 days, at 81 years in 159 days, at 80
years in SO days, at IS years in ITO days,
at 81 years in 144 days. II Is curious
that in this growth the swiftest grower
was a tuberculous subject who had a
sharp attack OF blood-spitting during
the observation. Sea air Is said TO
quicken the growth of the nails, pro-
found grief has been credited with the
power OF destroying them. A yaluable
point OF diagnosis is afforded by the
growth OF the finger nail. In distin-
gushing between true paralysis OF
centric origin and the various pseudo
paralyses OF hysteria which sometimes
so closely simulate organic sease, IL
is well TO remember that the growth OF
the nail is modified by most OF the CEN
trio LESSONS, while its development is
not affected by hysteria. II is asserted
that intracranial hemorrhages arrest
the nail growth.-Edward Blake, in

on account Of the clearness of the
glass and the grace of their shape.
Having secured the bottle, cleanse
II thoroughly and then put earth in
IL until the bottom is covered to n
height OF about an inch. Sprinkle this
earth well, almost soaking wet, and
then throw i'm three or four catus
seeds. Close the bottle snugly with a
tight-fitting cork and seal IL close with
sealing wax. Tie n strong cord
around the neck OF the bottle aud
hang 10 in n window that the sun
reaches for ut least several hours
every day. In cold weather the bot
tie must not be exposed TO the air.
The liying-room, with a constant tenn
perature OF 40 degrees or more, suits
the experiment admirably. Then the
entire process Of growth can be
watched with no small interest. The
opening and roofing of the seeds, and
the gradual development OF the plants
will follow, almost as IL by magic.
Soon the cacti will be OF such size that
you can astonish your friends by n
sight Of them, and they will hardly
believe you when you tell them these
plants are growing without any care

gardens, the bottle having been scaled
