Weighing Machines.

Weighing machines and scales of
some kind We're in use 1900 B. c., for
it is said that Abraham at that time
weighed out" 400 shekels of silver,
current money. with the merchant to
Ephron. the Hittite, as payment for a
piece of land. including the cave and
all the standing timber ''in the field and
in the fence" This is said to be the
earliest transfer of land of which any
record survives and that the payment
was made in the presence of witnesses.
The original form of the weighing
scale was probably & bar suspended
from the middle, with board or shell
suspended from each end, one to con-
tain the weight, the other to contain
the matter to be weighed. The steel
yard was probably so called from the
material of which it was made and
from it's former length. 1t is also
known as the Roman balance and is of
great antiquity.

The Wills of Noah and Jacob.

The origin of testaments is lost in
obscurity, but doubtless they followed
soon after the first institution of pri-
vate property. Eusebius says that Noah
made will soon after the flood where
in he disposed of the whole world. He
was certainly possessed of a consider
able landed estate, but Eusebius' story
of the testament in writing and wit.

ton.
In the forty-eighth chapter of Gene,
sis, however. We do find mention of a
will, wherein Jacob bequeathed to his
son Joseph twice as much as to his
other children. This was not a tesla
ment in writing, but verbal or nun
cupative testament, declared by the
testator Gin extremis" before witnesses
and depending upon oral testimony.
Such nuncupative testaments were
at one time recognized in English law,
but in the eighteenth century, Black
stone says, they had fallen into disuse
and were hardly ever heard of.

Cunning Siberian Natives.

When compelled to travel all night,
the Siberian natives always make a
practice of stopping just before sun
rise and allowing their dogs to go to
sleep. They argue that if the dog goes
to sleep while it is yet dark and wakes
up in an hour and finds the sun shin
ing he will suppose that he has had a
full nights rest and will travel all
day without thinking Of being tired.
One or even two hours stop at any
other time is perfectly useless. as the
dogs will be uncomfortable from that
time forward until they are permitted
to take what they think full allow
ance of sleep.

THE HABIT OF GIVING.
Governor e. D. Morgan's First Taste
of Real Happiness.


of Real Happiness.
To the present generation the name
of Governor e. d. Morgan Of New
York is scarcely more than dim
echo from the pages of history, but
there are men still living who remem-
Der him as one Of the group Of great
war governors whose frmness and
courage served their country so mag
nificently in her darkest hour. 1t was
one who so remembered him who told
this incident:
Governor Morgan was a very rich
man, but until he was seventy years
old he never had given away any Of
his wealth. Then one day he sent for
his old friend, DR.. Adams, the presi-
dent of Union Theological seminary,
and told him that he wished to give a
large sum Of money to the college.
The doctor, almost incredulous at first,
was soon convinced of the sincerity
of the offer, and a time was set at
which he was to go and get the bonds.
At the appointed hour the doctor ap-
peared, and bonds to the value of more
than 100000 were put into his hands.
The governor stood and watched until
the doctors carriage was out of sight.
Afterward he spoke of it to another
friend.
Il am an old man." he said. II have
had successful life and done about
all that had planned to do, and sup
posed that l had been happy. But l
know now that until l stood and
watched DR.. Adams drive away with
those bonds never had known what
happiness was. l cannot regret too
deeply that, early in life l did not form
the habit of giving."-Youth's Compan-

A CHURCH LIGHTHOUSE.
Charleston, s. c., Has the Only One
In the World.

Charleston, s. c., Has the Only One
In the World.
The only church in the world so far
as is known that is also lighthouse is
st. Philips church, Charleston, S. @.
st. Philips, which is one Of the oldest
churches in America, is known as the
WESTMINSTER abbey Of South Carroll
na," because within and about its walls
80 many distinguished men lie buried,
including John G. Calhoun. The history
of the old church is closely interviewer
with that of South Carolina, and many
of the most celebrated events in the
history Of the province are connected
with it.
1t is one of the sights of Charleston,
and strangers are always taken to see
it and shown it's graves and monu-
ments.
The most remarkable feature of the
old church, however, is the fact that
its lofty steeple serves the purpose Of
lighthouse and is used to guide the
seafarer and mariner safely into the
port OF Charleston. The use of the stee-
pie as lighthouse dates back to 1894,
when the United States lighthouse de-
partment succeeded by dint of repeated
efforts in inducing the vestry of the
old church to allow a lantern to be
placed in the upper story Of the steeple
to be used as range light for vessels
entering the harbor through the jetties
at it's mouth.
The light used is very powerful and
is placed at an altitude of about 125
feet above the ground, so that it is
easily visible thirty miles at sea. Ships
making for Charleston harbor at night
always keep a sharp lookout for st.
Philips light and as soon as they sight
it get it into line with the beacon on
Fort Sumter and then make straight
away run for the mouth of the jetties
and up through them into the harbor
of Charleston.
st. Philips church steeple is consider
ed one of the handsomest architec-
turally in the world and always at
tracts the eye Of strangers entering
Charleston from the sea by it's COM
handing height and artistic proper
