schools. This has the approval of the

college students in the country, the
school children reach the enormous mum.

ELECTRICITY CHEAPER,

The recent announcement of the New
York Edison Company that it will make
a fiat reduction of 25 per cent. in the
cost of current supplied to its customers
will have tendency to still further
handicap the gas men. The introduce
ton of the Welsbach mantle, with its
bright light and low consumption of
gas, gave the gas people new lease on
the lighting business, but with the re
cent reduction in price of current it is
questionable whether electric lighting
will not he the more economical. The
feeling of unrest among electrical in
ventors in their search for more effici-
ent method of converting electric cur
rent into luminous energy is showing
practical results.

Faithful iINTo nEArA

'tCraig turned to look and put out his
great arm over the Presidents head as
though to push back the car "Oh, my
God!' he cried, as his arm shot out
Then came the crash"
Thus died strong and brave man, his
last word prayer for strength II work
miracle, his last thought not of him
self, but of him whose safety it was his
duty to guard.
William Craig was we'll known in
Chicago, where the ag ID mother whose
stay and pride he was now mourns hel
son. That she bore man child who
was faithful unto death, though the
thought aesuage not her grief, is crown
of honor to her gray hairs.
Gifted with great physical strength
and proficient in all manly exercises,
William Craig was as modest and gentle
as he was brave and strong. His life
and death proved the truth of the poet {
lines:
The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring.
Honored by the government OF his
native land for galantry in battle, he
served the government of his adopted
country with equal and unwavering
fidelity. Whether battling with saw
ages in the Soudan or bringing outlaws
to justice in America, he was ever
courageous and efficient.
Chosen to guard the nations chief
magistrate, he died in the effort to save
him from danger, and is mourned as a
personal friend by earth's most power
full ruler, respected by all manly men,
admired by ardent youth, and loved by
little children.

"Patagonians are not giants, as some
have supposed and as the biographies
teach," said a man who has travelled.
'They are large in comparison with the
other South American natives; that is
all. Everything is relative, you know.
But they are very fat That is why
they can stand the cold so well. | have
seen Patagonian men and boys running
around unclad while vas wrapped in
warm garments, with the snow falling
upon them in quantities and the wind
blowing bitterly. They are kept warm
by their fat-and dirt Patagonia is

is my advice to all who contemplate

The most dangerous reptiles of India
and Africa are the cobras. No snakes,
not even rattlesnakes, are more dread
ed, and with reason. As the rattle
snake warns the ear by its significant
rattle" so the cobras warn the eye by,
the mode in which they expand the up
per part of the body when Initiated.
This expansion is produced by sud
den movement of the ribs of that re-
gion of the body. Usually they incline
backward, but the animal when irritat.
ed makes them stand out at right an
giles to the body and so, of course,
forces outward the skin which covers
them. Thus the neck, or part just be
hind the head, becomes greatly eX-
banded and flattened, as it also does,
though in a less degree. in the Austria
liam blacksnake.
This expansion is called hood. and
so the animals are called hooded
snakes. In some of them there is on
the back of the hood a dark mark,
something like pair of spectacles. and
they have therefore been called specta-
Gle snakes.

In another case the wound continued
to suppurate despite all that could be

the instrument was played close to the
