oId spirnl Cnr snrinGs.

A use has been discovered for old spiral car springs. It has been found that these often contain enough carbon to permit of making cold chisels. Forging into the necessary form is easy and the additional carbon re- quired may be added by the cementa- tion process. Cold chisels made in this way cost half as much as the high grades Of steel which were formerly used,-American Railroad Journal.

RESPECTABLE SIN.
It h Not the Outward Manifestatfez Bat the Root of the Matter We
 Should Lock To.

It is with sins as with men of fam lilies. some have pedigree and some have not; for there are kinds and modes of sin that have, in all ages. been held in respect and embalmed with all the honors of histOryi and there are others that never were. and never can be, raised above the level even of disgust. The noble sins will of course, be judged in very different manner from the humble, base-bcr1 sins.
 The sins of fame, honor, place, poTer. bravery, genius, always in good refute. will not seldom be admired and ap- plauded. But the lOw-blOoded sins Of felony, and vice.. and base depravitF are associated with brutality, and are universally held in contempt. Wheth- CT the real demerit of the two classes of sin is measured by such distinctions is more questionable. ......-
 Such distinctions certainly had Httis weight with Christ. He was even mors severe upon the sins of learning. wealth, station, and religious saneti- mony, than upon the more plebelan cc more despised class of sins. Indeed. He seems to look directly through al the fair conventionalities, and to bring Hi4 judgment down upon some point nore interior and deeper.
 He appears, in general, to be thor oughly disgusted with all the mere re spectabilities, whether men or sins. The hypocrisies of religion. the i'm pastures of learning. the gilded shows of wealth gotten by extortion. the proud airs of authority and power em- ployed in acts of oppression. provoke His indignation, and He deals with them in such terms of emphasis as in dicate the profoundest possible abhor- rence.-Horace Bushnell

AN AMATEUR VOLCANO.
Eruption .of Mount Olympus (Wash
 Traced to Burning LIgnIte.

Traced to Burning Lignite.
 The Mount Olympus sensation which lately scared the good people of Wash ington state with the idea that vol cano was in active operation in that great mountain, has been brought to a sudden end by the return of an eN- ploring party to find out what was the matter.
 It seems that earth in that vicinity is interlaid with veins of Ignite coal. Forest trees have fallen into the crev- ices and gorges, enormous quantities of leaves have drifted down upon these, and by some means fires have been started which have communicated with the coal veins. Great jets of steam and burst of smoke frequently come from the sides of the mountain and these confirmed the theory that there was a genuine volcano in operation. It seems that the heat has melted the snow which has formed a perpetual white cap at the summit. This, trick ling down the sides of the mountain in streams, has fallen upon the fire, which accounts for the great volume of steam The puffs of smoke and explosions are thought to be caused by the ignition of collections of natural gas.
 This condition of affairs naturally leads to the inquiry whether good many volcanic eruptions might not be traceable to burning Ignite and the explosions of large quantities of cor fined gases. Be that as it may, Mount Olympus is a seething mass of burning coal, and the volcano scare amounts to nothing.-N. '. Ledger.

Pro.perity Hard to Bear.

There is one hard thing to bear f2 this world, and that is prosperity. The fact that we do not feel it as bur den does not affect the truth that it is hard to carry it and yet stand up right. To be honest, generous. con siderate, fair, magnanimous, in pros perity" this is not easy. Yet this is what it means to stand up right. Under worldly prosperity ons is in great danger of getting spirit ually stooP-shouldered and weak kneed. Pray for the prosperous,-S. s Timas

apathometerr for wheeImen

Of the inventing of long-felt cycling wants there seems to be no end. The latest of these is an instrument by which it is easy to record automatically not only the distance travelled by bi- cycle. but also the various directions followed during the journey and the hills ascendA1 and descended. The rec ord of directions is obtained by means of compass. The needle is suspended at the top of the "pathometer,' as the apparatus is called, directly above the tape on which the records are taken Chicago Chronicle.

sared bx Q strax Dog.

A wildcat is feline no one cares to meet, but two schoolgirls in Wisconsin had that unpleasant experience. Their only weapons were their school bags, and with these they whacked the brute enough to keep him off for a time. But they must have eventually been torn, if not killed, had it not been for the ar rival of a stray dog, at the sight of which the cowardly cat fled with a scream of baf1ed rape.
