Which Is the Oldest seienee7

A dispute arose recently at a beer
table in Germany between a group
of university men as to which science
was the oldest. A representative of
the law declared that it was juris-
prudence. for this science must have
been known in Paradise, seeing that
Adam and Eve were evicted there.
from. Why" said a graduate of
medicine. medicine is certainly of
older date. Just think of the opera
tion that Adam had to submit to in
order that a rib should be obtained
for Eve!" mo. no. gentlemen" re-
torted an electro-technician, for be-
fore anything was created God said.
Let there be light" Then came
the tkeologian. who said: II do not
want to appear presumptuous, but l.
think that precedence belongs to the
ology. for. before it was light it WIS

II was quite blow TO Mr. Updike,
but he swallowed his chagrin and the
matter was fixed. Dan went to the
city and in year. when he came back
with his diploma. Hal greeted him with
stern smile and said:
The jig is up, Dan. They're going
TO sell us cut
And so IL was. Susie wept and Dan
grieyed. but neither of them knew
what to say when Harold Updike
bought the place. Where did he get
the money? His father, who kept the
dairy was poor. Susie supposed 1t
was all right. but why had he been
so quiet. so sneaking about it.
I'm going to ask him for a job"
sad Dan. sullenly, Il gave him one
and he ought TO do as we'll by me-"
And Harold's small soul swelled
with pride when he saw Dan behind
the counter pounding away with pes

His eyes glcated over the new sign

cleaned above the entrance. He

Some times he even cursed his clerk.
He borrowed money from Tom Kelly.

went on. For a while it seemed that
the place was a small mint, but at last
the statesmen quit coming. Duns be-
came frequent. the bank grew
"erouchy" and. finally, small. fat
man in a brown suit, came up again
from Hot Springs. Ito take charge"
Il don't see how il failed" growled
Hal as he and Dan sat in the disor'
derej store at midnight after the in
ventory was made and the dreary
work was done.
Il don't see how it failed when ]
owned it," said Dan.
They were quite silent for minute.
What are you going to do, Up
dike?"
~ nat are you going to do?"
oh. I'm going 20 buy the store back
again." said Dan, laughing.
You? Where did you get the
money!"
"Susie's dad. Hail." answered After
bury, we're going TO be married.
There was tap at the window and
a merry voice called. Are you there
yet, Danny" But Updike laid his
hand or Dams arm as he started for
the door and said. Will you give me
back my old Job. DAM"
Mo, Updike. Not this time. ]

CID TOOLS FOUND IN MINE.
implements Used Two Centuries Ago
Discovered in Massachusetts.

Discovered in Massachusetts.
A remarkable collection of imple
ments used by miners in 1858 has
been discovered in a deserted shaft
of the Sturbridge graphite mine 1T
Webster, Mass, ninety feet below
the surface.
The discovery includes a wooden
pump stock, twenty-five feet long and
almost intact; section of CHAIN for
merly weighing fifty pounds and now
tipping the scales at but five, and
some hammers of ancient make.
More than this, it has become posi-
lively known that the Sturbridge
graphite mine was the first mine OF
any kind discovered and worked in
