The English Dipiamat " ore II, Even

the Sea.

Recently party from the embassies
at Constantinople went TO inspect the
international lifebuat service on the
Black sea coast. At one of the life
saving stations they thought they
would like to test the conditions of
life-boat work, so, clothing themselves
in bathing costumes and cork jackets,
they each took an oar in lifeboat, to
the huge delight Of the Turkish boat
men.
One of the secretaries of the British
embassy is never seen without an eye
glass, and is said even to sleep with IT,.
On this occasion he was faithful to his
eyeglass and soemnly embarked in
cork jacket and eyeglass. All the prop
er exercises were gone through, and
finally the boat was capszed and
righted again by its own crew. As they
crept out from under the capsized boa /
a howl of surprise came from the
Turks, for the secretary's head ap-
peared, with the eyeglass firmly fixed
in its proper position. its owner taxi

The next session OF the Newark

Since no invitation was received,

Next Sabbath morning will be

This is one of the services Of the

This Friday evening the service

We urge that as far as possible all

INVENTOR OF THE BATON.
How 1t Caused the Death Of the Man
who First Intr6duced the Hand
Leaders wand.

The inventor of the baton has been
discovered. According to the investi-
cations Of Frenchman the credit be-
longs to Lully, the composer, who
eventually had cause to regret his in
vention.
Before he adopted the baton, con-
ductors were in the habit of pounding
on the floor with their feet or clapping
their hands to mark the time. Lully
found it wearisome to keep his foot
constantly in motion, and so used a
stick TO strike the floor and beat time.
He used pole six feet long.
One day he brought down the pole
with such force that it struck his foot
and made a deep wound. He paid no
attention to the matter. The wound
grew worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried
more and more to improve the baton
and it was ultimately brought to its
present form.

Those democrats who we're declar-
ing last October that it would really
be the best thing for the democratic
party to let the republicans win in
the November elections, are doubt
less we'll satisfied. 1t turned out
just as they wished.
From Havana comes news of ser
ious rioting among strikers. The
mayor and other city officials are
said TO be in sympathy with the
mob, and as result the police re-.
fuse to interfere.
Congressional leaders are slow to
outline the plan of legislatic n pro
posed for this winter. In fact they
are uncertain as to the policy which
will be adopted. If a majority can
be rallied to oppose the president s
plan, it will be useless to look for
any new legislation. 1t would seem
that after the experience of the re-
cent campaign a safe majority will
be found who will follow the lead
Of President Roosevelt.

ONLY A LITTLE CLIP.
An Ingenious Device for Holding Pa
per, which Has become Very
Popular.

A short time ago someone put on the
market an ingenious device for hold
ing sheets of paper together. 1t took
the place of the pin, says the New York
Press. BY short time" is meant a
matter of some five or six years. To-
day there are more than 20 different
kinds of clips, selling from 60 cents
per 1000 to 25 cents per 100, and con-
siderable capital is invested in their
manufacture. The same general prin-
ciple is followed in all, and it is as
sumed that each improvement is pat
ented. Corporations have been
formed to make nothing but clips, and
competition is lively. The original
patentee will no doubt become a mil
lionaire, though he may make only one
cent on each 1000 sold 1t is the sim
pie, dirt-cheap invention that brings
the big returns-sOmethi so mex

MODERN SURGERY.
Everything Depends Upon the Clean
illness and ExcIuslvehess OF
the Operation.

Your modern surgeon of note Is a
"sterile" man. The operating room, al
most Theoretically sealed and at a tenn
perature of 100 degrees or thereabouts,
is purified daily by means of a hose
throwing a solution of bichloride Of
mercury over ceiling, walls and floors.
The surgeon arrives in an anteroom in
his civilians garb He is required to
be clean shaven, like a monk, says the
New York Press His clothes are re-
moved. Two attendants in the steriliz-
ing room hand him white duck gown
reaching from collar to heel, and a cowl
of the same material, which covers
tightly every part of his head except
eyes, nose and mouth. The sleeves Of
the gown reach to his elbow. He in.
cases his hands in the thinnest, finest
sterilized rubber gloves. These gar
ments are handed to him in sterilized
tongs. There has been no human con-
tact. Thus equipped, he is prepared to
saw and slice.
