A Philadelphia clergyman told sto'
~ Of young man who took his best
girl to church and when the time fol
collection" came round rather osten-
tatiously displayed five dollar gold
piece. Fresuming upon the engage
ment to marry that had been made by
her, the young woman placed a re-
straining hand upon the arm OF her
fiance. "Why. don't be SO extravagant,
Georgew she exclaimed.
"Oh, that's nothing" he replied. II
always give SIS when l 60 to strange
church"
Just then the deacon came with the
plate, and George dropped coin. Ev-
erything seemed favorable, and the
young man beamed with sense Of
generosity. Then the minister made
the announcements for the week and
concluded with the wholly unexpected
announcement of the days collection.
The collection today" said he, was
$3.75.'
George hadn't much to say all the
way to his fiancee's home.

RATS OF GNAT EGGS.
Eheir Floating illustrates . Curious
Property Of Water.

FAai1 Floating illustrates = Curious
Property Of Water.
Many simple experiments show that
the surface Of water possesses a prop
erty which causes it to resist the pas
sage Of bodies either from above or be-
low. This is true not only Of soapy wa
ter, but of the cleanest and purest wa
ter as WELL A sheet Of fine gauze tends
to float, because, it's weight being wide
" distributed, each Of the numerous
separate wires is resisted by the sur
face film go that the water cannot
readily pass through the meshes.
Insects and plants utilize this fact in
many interesting ways. Some water
plants whose leaves float on the water
have very simple contrivance to keep
the upper surfaces Of the leaves dry.
This consists Of great number of mi
mute hairs covering the tops Of the
leaves. Water cannot penetrate among
these hairs even when the leaves are
forced down beneath the surface.
The little RATS of eggs that gnats set
afloat on the water are kept from sink.
ing and from being upset through this
same principle. The tiny eggs have
their points all upward, and they are
glued together so closely that, while
there is open space all around the point
Of each egg, yet the width Of these
spaces is so slight that water cannot
readily pass through. You may again
and again upset such an egg raft, but
1t will right itself every time, and the
upper surface will remain dry.

ST. PETERS IN ROME.

II Takes Many Visits to Realize Ita
vastness and splendor.
It is curious to watch the faces OF
people as they enter the great doors of
st. Peters at Rome and push back the
heavy leathern curtains that keep out
the noise and the air and find them
selves in the presence of the most i'm
pressive spectacle on earth, as Byron
said:
Power, glory, strength and beauty-all are
aisled
In this eternal ark Of worship.
1t is easy to detect those who have
never been there before and those who
have become accustomed to it's mag
nitude and gorgeousness. 1t requires
several yisitsfto adjust the vision and
the mind to it's colossal proportions
and brilliant decorations and enable
them to realize the vastness and the
beauty of the scene. The more fire.
quently you visit st. Peters cathedral
the greater and the more beautiful it
becomes, and after time you are en-
abled to drink in with complete salts
faction the fullness of its area, it's al
titude and it's magnificence.
The cost of the building up to date
has been more than $5b.OO0, 600, and
the annual expense Of maintaining it
ID about $50, 1000. An architect and a
gang of workmen are always employ.

The Value OF the Ruby.
The ruby is valued highest when 1t
contains the least azure, The largest
ruby that history speaks of belonged to
Elizabeth of Austria. the wife Of
Charles TX. 1t was almost as big as a
hens egg. The virtues attributed to
rubies are to Danish sadness, to repress
luxury and to drive away annoying
thoughts. At the same time 1t sym.
bolizes cruelty, anger and carnage, as
well as boldness and bravery. A change
In it's color announces calamity, but
when the trouble is over it regains it's

What the Preacher Learned.

A celebrated preacher when speak
ing to some 5000 children, after de-
lighting them with variety of stories,
thought it might be well to point the
moral of one Of them. He had hardly,
however, begun to say, "Now this
teaches" when little ragamuffin on
the front bench cried out: Never mind
what it teaches. Gie's another story"
II learned from that rascal" he said.
ito wrap the moral well in the heart
Of the story, not to put it as sting
into the tail"

EXPOSITION Appropriation RefusedDea Sentences COMMITTED
Summary Of Important Measures Enacted

ant enactment is that which changes
the method of court administration
providing a fixed salary for county
clerks instead of the present system
OF fees and giving all fees to the
state to be paid strictly in advance.
Among other enactments are those
to protect milk dealers: to prevent the
nuisance of splitting in railroad cars
and stations; establishing an annex
for Middlebury college; granting a
city charter to st. Johnsbury; appro.
priating $4,000 to the Soldiers Home
at Bennington; distributing $4,000
OF the states school tax among the
smaller towns.
Measures of special local interest
are those granting a charter to the
Connecticut River Power COMPANY:
Incorporating the Brattleboro Manu-
featuring company; amending the
charter of the Brattleboro Gaslight
company; granting a charter for the
Saxtons River & Grafton Electric
Railway company; providing for plac.
ing steel cells or cages in the Wind
ham county jail and for other re-
pairs; changing the time of holding
the March term of the Windham
county court.
important measures killed were tne
Battell dispensary bill, the Ross pro-
h1Dltory bill, the womans suffrage
bill, the weekly payments bill, the
compulsory arbitration bill. removal
of state capital to Burlington, Great.
ing state insurance department
providing for representation at the St
Louis Worlds Fair.
A measure of local interest. in
which the Senate refused to concur
with the House, was that providing
relief for the town of Jamaica in the
sum of $500.
The bill repeating the six-inch
trout law was finally killed, after
numerous Journeys back and forth be-
tween the two houses. In the same
way a bounty of 40 cents was placed
on the head of the unsuspecting
hedgehog
For the first time in a long term
of years no state tax was voted. The
committee on ways and means after
going over the subject carefully with
the auditors and treasurer were of the
opinion that direct tax might be dis.
pensed with. There may be a deficit
or $4,000 or so, according to their
view, but they think the proceeds of
the new corporation tax law will prac-
tically fill the breach.
