His Solemn Oath.
take no other.

A popular comedian tells story Of
a waiter at London restaurant who
was sadly given to drink. A party Of
young men determined to reform him,
and one day they read to him an mag
mary paragraph from paper relating
a terrible accident in which an inebri-
ate in blowing out candle was killed
by the fame igniting the alcoholic
fumes of his breath. James pricked
up his ears at this and requested that
the paragraph might be read to him
again, which was done, to the evident
horror of the poor man, who imme-
diately went in search of a Bible.
Returning with this, he expressed a
desire to take solemn oath upon it,
bemoaned the fact that he had been a
sorry tippler and was bringing himself
to ruin and then swore that never
again SO long rs he lived would he at
tempt to blow out a candle.

There was long ago on the shore of

storm was approaching in summer. A
soldier was always stationed near the

put the iron point of his javelin close
to the rod, watching for the spark that
would tell him it was time to warn the

One Of the most remarkable women

husband. She was wounded at the bat

French and carried to st. Germain-en-

was exchanged. Then she quarreled

COLLISION WITH A COMET.
What Such q Catastrophe Would
Mean For the Earth.

Mean For the Earth.
Although 1t is exceedingly improha-
bic that the earth may be destroyed by
collision with comet or some huge
meteor, still the fact that such a con-
ttngency Is possible Is sufficient ground
for discussion on the subject and for
imagining what the result might be,
says the W0man's Home Companion.
The earth is moving around the sun
Mt velocity of eighteen miles a SEC
ond, while the sun. with all Its attend
ant planets, is being hurried on toward
the great fiery. constellation Of Hercu-
les at far greater velocity. The very
fact that small meteors exist proves
the possibility Of the existence in space
of meteors of uncomfortable magnitude.
Even great black dead worlds may lie
in our path, like breakers in the path Of
a ship. Fifty miles second is not all
unusual velocity for heavenly bodies,
and some are known to move at a
speed even in excess of a hundred
miles a second five hundred times the
speed of a rife ball. Small meteorites.
which reach the earth at n. velocity of
from twenty to thirty miles a second.
are instantly consumed by the friction
generated with the atmosphere. Large
meteors, however, casionally reach
the earth, escaping destruction from
their size, but are found to have their
surfaces fused from heat generated by
the passage through the atmosphere.
Although it is not probable, still it is
possible, that the earth may some time
encounter such a shower of small me-
teors, perhaps in the form of a comet,
that the heat of combustion from fric-
ton with our atmosphere and the poi
sonous gases thereby generated might
destroy all terrestrial life.

must bear in mind that in New York
the banks pay no State tax, while i'll
