Wood Too Hard to Burn.

There are certain kinds of wood that
are too hard to burn, or refuse to ignite
for some other reason, such as iron
wood and the good brier root, but it is
curiosity to come across piece Of
common deal-the soft, light wood Of
which so many boxes are made-that
cannot be set fire to-
The piece of, wood in question was
common white deal from Sweden, but
was remarkable for it's comparative
weight. 1t had formed part of a boat
belonging to whaler and had been
dragged below the surface of the wa
ter to the depth Of more than halfNa
mile by a harpooned whale. The
length of line and the short distance
from the point of descent after being;
struck at which the whale rose to the
surface was proof Of the depth to
which it had dragged the boat.
Only part Of the boat came up again
at the end Of the line, and it was taken
on board when the whale had been
killed. That piece Of wood was so
hard that it would not burn in gas
jet. The weight of water had COM
pressed it.-London Standard.

silence You Can sec.

There is no such thing as silence in
this world. 1t is an impossibility. That
is partly the reason why science has en-
abled us to see it.
The explanation of the paradox is
this: Silence, as we understand it, sim
ply means that there are sounds too
delicate or too loud for the ear to regis
ter. In other words, when WE can't
hear anything we call that condition
"silence." But wherever you are there
are sounds around you. Even in the
deepest mine the air vibrates and
makes a sound. An instrument has
been invented that will catch these
sounds and permit of the vibrations be-
ing represented pictorially on screen,
and in that way you may see silence
and properly understand what it
means.
By comparing the pictures of noises
with those Of that condition of things
known as silence we gain an idea of the
difference between noisy night, for
instance, and one when absolute 81
lence reigns," as the novelist puts it. 1t
is rather surprising to find so much dis
turbance at the time when everything
appears to be perfectly quiet Pear

why Hindoos Don't Go Mad

Why are there so few lunatic asy-
lums and so small a proportion Of in
sane persons in India? That Is ques-
ton which many traveller has Won
deringly asked.
The Hindoos regulate their lives en-
tirely inaccordance with their religion
that is, their working, eating, sleeping,
as well as what we usually regard as
our life" in the religious sense of the
word. Everything is arranged for them,
and they follow the rules now just as
they did 1000 years ago. This constant
observance of the same rules for TWEEN
ty centuries has nodded the brains of
the race into one shape, as it We're, and
although their rites are queer enough,
yet there is but an occasional example
Of that striking deviation from the
common which is called insanity in
countries inhabited by the white race
They are fatalists too. With them it
is a case of "what is to be will be-
carried to the extreme. This has in
time given them the power to take all
things calmly and so freed them from
the anxiety that drives so many white
men into the lunatic asylums.

DIPLOMATIC.

The late Lord Savile used to say, ac-
cording to The Candid Friend, that
high diplomatists had always to be on
their guard against intriguing women,
mainly Russian agents, who would use
any vile to extract information. Dur
ing the Russo-Turkish war, when Eu-
rope was always on the verge of a
crisis and Russian statesmen were
most anxious to know what England
would do under given circumstances,
lady came up to him suddenly at a
ball and said: IS
81 hear that the Russians have made
forced march and entered Constan-
tinople," hoping no doubt that he would
be surprised into some indiscreet ex-
preston.
He merely replied:
''Ineed! And l suppose the sultan
has conferred on them the order of the
Turkish BATH"
The lady continued gravely:
''And they say in Paris that if Eng
land does not interfere the eastern
question is settled in favor of Russia"
"And that" replied his excellency,
'is, l suppose, the new judgment Of
Paris"

Lunch Prices and Dinner Prices.

Lunch Prices and Dinner Prices.
Any one who will take the trouble to
compare the lunch and dinner menu
cards of some of the leading restau-
rants of New York will make rather
surprising discovery. He will ascertain
that the prices on many dishes are cut
on the dinner card from 10 cents to 20
cents.
A gentlemen whose curiosity was
aroused by this singular practice to the
extent that he went to the head waiter
for a mora satisfactory reason than the
table waiter could advance was given
this explanation:
"You see," said the waiter, "the gen
erality of men don't care for heavy
lunch. One dish and glass Of milk or
cup of coffee, with bread and butter,
are sufficient for them; consequently to
prevent them from getting off too
cheap we have to put up the price of
single dishes. At dinner time it is diff
ferent. A man wants number of dish
es for dinner, and so we can afford to
make our meats and fish cheaper"
"But do you think that is exactly
"Honest? Why not? 1t is always
honest to take what people are willing
to pay you for what you have to sell, is
it not?"-New York Times.

Met His Match

That wei. known historical person
age, Augustus the Strong. elector of
Saxony, has furnished the subject for
many tale Of his wonderful muscular
power. We need refer only to one
characteristic story in which, however,
he met his match. On the occasion in
question he entered blacksmith's
shop. To show his suit how strong he
was, picking up several horseshoes, he
broke one after the other, asking the
blacksmith whether he had no better.
When it came to paying the bill, the
Elector Augustus threw six dollar
piece on the anvil. 1t was very
thick coin. The blacksmith took it up,
broke it in half, saying, Pardon me,
but I have given you a good horseshoe,
and expect good coin in return"
Another six dollar piece was given
him, but he broke that and five or six
others, when the Inundated elector put
an end to the performance by handing
the blacksmith a louisd'or, pacifying
him by saying, '"The dollars were prob
ably made of bad metal, but this gold
piece, hope, is good.'

Abram Campbell at Rest.

Once more the Angel of Death
has entered our midst, and has
carried to the unseen shores of
eternity one of our Oldest and most
esteemed citizens, Abram Camp
bell, to his reward. The departed
has been long and patient suf-
ferer, for years being compelled to
remain sitting in his chair night
and day, being afflicted with
asthma which with lingering effects
caused a few years ago by dropsy,
finally shattered his strong and
rugged constitution and the inevi-
table, yet expected, came about 10
O'clock, AN. Monday, Oct. 2lst, 1901,
while surrounded by those nearest
and dearest to him and kind friends
who administered to his every
want and provided him with every
comfort possible; yet medical skill
and human power could not stay
the hand of death and his spirit
winged it's flight to the bright and
happy beyond, leaving those he
loved so well and who had been so
kind and true aud faithful and so
devoted to him PROSTATE with
grief. Years of personal associa-
ton and acquaintance had made
citizen and Uncle Abe familiar
and welcome figure on our streets
most of the time for the past thirty
years, will be greatly missed by old
and young.
Abram Campbell was born Sep
TENDER 10, 1923, at Titusville, Penn
sylvania, where he grew to mans
estate and was married to Almira
V. Whipple January 10, lS43. In
after years they moved to Northen
Wisconsin and came to Extra, Iowa,
in 1869. From this union four
children survive, S. A. Campbell,
of Extra, Iowa, A. l.. Campbell, of
Des Moines, Eliza r. Lawrence. of
Victor, Colorado, and F. B. Camp
bell, of Extra, who has worked in
this office most of the time fol- the
past fifteen years. His first wife
died March, 81, 1878, and was laid to
rest in the Extra cemetery.
Some years later he was married
to Miss Ann Howlet at Oak6eld,
Iowa, who survives him. III his
declining years she gave up every
thought of self and lovingly, ten
derby and patiently devoted the
very energies of her life caring for
his every want and comfort, and as
memorial to the goodness and
sweetness of her life she has won
from all who know her the priceless
legacy of a life well spent.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist church of which he
was a member, Wednesday morn
ing, conducted by his pastor, Rev.
7. E. Nichol. He served his country
in the Rebellion, and, number of
his comrades, the boys in blue act
ed as pail bearers while the rest at
tended the services to pay the last
earthly token and tribute to his re-
mains. A large cortege followed
his remains to the cemetery where
the last sad rites were performed
and his; body consigned to it's last
resting place.

searching For q souI.

Before the astonished eyes Of num-
Der Of Parisians singular funeral GER
emory took place the other day.
A resident property owner in the Rue
Malte-Brun had just died. On the even
ing of his death, when darkness had
fallen, his relations, five or six in num-
Der, each provided with a lantern,
slowly made the circuit Of the garden,
as if they were searching for something
in the walks. When they came to a
large heap Of stones, they turned each
one of them over and then re-entered
the house.
This curious procession is an old Nor
man custom. The dead person was a
native of the country near Gisors. Be
fore interring the dead it is necessary,
according to the tradition, to investi-
gate and see that the soul Of the de-
ceased is not concealed in corner of
his property or under some rubbish.

Birds, SONGS.

A French writer, Henri Coupon, says
that, Notwithstanding the fact of their
simplicity. the songs of birds cannot be
initiated with musical instruments be-
cause Of the impossibility of reproduc-
ing their peculiar timbre. The notes of
birds, while corresponding with our
musical scale, also include vibrations
occupying the intervals between our
notes. The duration of birds songs is
usually very short. two or three sec
onds for thrushes and chaffinches, four
or five seconds for blackbirds, but from
two to five minutes for the lark.
