The path traversed by a heavy cur
rent of electricity in passing through
the body is matter of great impor-
tance. The most dangerous Is from
one hand to the other, because the re-
sistance Of the path Is low and because
the current passes near the heart
Hence 1t is good rule In handling live
conductors TO use but one hand. An
important rule to observe in rescuing a
person In contact with live wire and
when 1t is impossible to cut off the cur
rent is to push the victim Off with one
foot. Even should the current pass
from one foot to the other through the
rescuer the resistance of the path is
considerable, and as the current does
not pass near the heart serious injury
Is not likely to result.

ReaJiuess I'm Excuse.

General Alexander Mcdowell Nc
Cook had n story illustrative of readi-
ness In excuse which he used to tell oc-
casionally. Some raw troops were
drawn up for their first battle. They
were on marshy ground, under fire, and
ankle deep In slush. One of the sol
diers was noticed to be trembling ex-
ccssively. and his fear might communi-
cate itself to his comrades. An officer
approached him.
Here, you, what are you trembling
for?' demanded the officer "Stop It, or
you'll demoralize the company. You
are In no more danger than any one
else. Don't be afraid"
"I-I-I am not-t-t a-a-afraid," chatter
ed the soldier "I-I-I had the ague last
year, and-and standing still In this

How to Make Pine Woods.

Farmers In the White mountains
have discovered, or learned, what farm
ers elsewhere are slow to ascertain. 1t
is that If you lop off the lower limbs Of
baisams when they are young the
limbs will not grow again. Thus the
tree as lumber will be improved. 1t
will be freer of knots.
Certain hotel owners, desiring pine
lands near their hotels on account of
healthfulness, asked government for
ester how to get them. The reply was:
".Cut Off the hard woods, then turn the
cattle in to pasture for three years.
That will keep down the shoots of the
hard woods, and the pines, which cat
tie avoid, will grow up, and their
needles will keep down other growths."

Tim StnnII IN Oher

When a certain couple were married
the wife was sixteen years old and big
and buxom. The husband was two
years her senior, but slim to thinness
and not up to the average in height.
Ten years passed, and the couple got
along as well as many couples do, but
the wife was hard to manage. With
the flight of time she became larger,
while her theoretical lord and master
added not an inch to his stature nor an
ounce to his weight. One day he want
ed her to do something, and she re-
fused, at first quietly, then vehemently
and finally eSplosively. "I'll not do It,"
she declared, "and I'd like TO see you
make me-"
But Maria," expostulated her hus-
band, "when you married me didn'tyou
promise to obey me?"
"I did," she replied. Then, sizing up
his diminutive proportions, she added,
"But expected you'd grow"

The Dny After.

II is strange omission that the
day after, supreme and epoch making
period Of time, should have failed to
receive the homage which is its just
prerogative.
De Quincy, in his powerful bit of
word painting entitled "The Knocking
at the Gate" dwells on the thought
that in Macbeth" the climax of the
tragedy, the moment most truly
fraught with terror, is not the one in
which occurs the murder of Duncan,
or when the guilty pair nerve them
selves for its accomplishment, but the
moment when the first knocking at the
gate is heard. With that summons
from without comes an instant and
terrible realization of what has taken
place. In that moment of horror is
condensed all the meaning of past
crime and future retribution as in
lightning flash.
The magnitude of what has happened
cannot be measured until the first
touch of reaction has been felt. We
cannot tell what has really occurred
till the day after.-Atlantic.

Proof of q Conspiracy.

The following story is told in en-
planation of the reason why the teach
ing of chemistry in Turkish schools
was forbidden some years ago. 1t
had been proposed that this science
should be added to the curriculum, but
the first thing that struck the eyes of
the ruler of the faithful on opening
an elementary textbook of chemistry
was the formula for water, H2 o.

Punctuation.

In the earliest Latin inscriptions and
manuscripts no system of punctuation
is followed. The full point O was
gradually introduced, being placed on
the level, middle or top OF the letters.
In the minuscule manuscripts Of the
eighth. ninth and following centuries
the period, on the line or high, was
first used; then the comma and semi
colon and the inverted semicolon,
whose power was rather stronger than
that OF the comma. Some say that the
Caroline mlnuscules of the ninth cen
tury exhibit the note of Interrogation,
for which the inverted semicolon,
which was gradually dropped, may
have furnished the mark. The Greeks
use the semicolon as an interrogation
point. In English the colon is said to
have been introduced about 1856, the
comma about 1901 and the semicolon
about 1910. In Sir Philip Sidney's EAR
cadia" 05S0 all the punctuation points
appear. including the note OF interro-

The Origin of Johnnycake.

No doubt many others besides the
writer may have wondered how johnny.
cake came TO be thus named. When n
child. | settled It for myself by imag-
lining John Smith, whom Pocahontas
saved, had something to do with 1t.
The cake, being made of Indian meal,
became thus associated In my mind
with the historical name. A writer In
the Housekeeper says:
In tracing the term we find ourselves
at time antcdating by many years
steam cars and hotels on wheels, In an
age when mankind depended entirely
upon his four footed companions for
transportation and had only saddlebags
in which TO carry his luggage. Tav-
erns We're few and far apart, and a
lunch was always acceptable. Corn
meal. forming so large n part Of the
dietary IN those days. held chief place
in making up the lunch. Wet with wa
ter and II little salt added, It was baked
in a shape that stored away In the sad
dlebags nicely and was called journey
cake. This is the origin of our modern.
unconventional johnnycake.

stephennon's birthplace.

In red tiled two story house on the
road between Newcastle and Hexham,
England, was born George Stephenson,
the inventor of the first practical loco
motive, on June 8, 1871. He earned his
first regular money-a shilling a week
for looking after cows, and he was
eighteen before he learned to read. The
modelling of engines In clay was his
favorlte occupation as boy, and when
he grew up toward manhood he had
charge of engines and displayed his in
ventive genius In their improvement.
AZ last, In 1913, he produced his first
locomotive, which he called travelling
engine. Lord Ravensworth was called
fool for advancing money for the con
struction of locomotive. A few years,
however, proved that Lord Ravens
worth was not so foolish rs people sup
posed, for in 1926 the Stockton and Oar
lington line was opened for traffic.

No Evidence of Any Precociousness
In His Religious Development.
OF the nineteen children born TO Sam
uel and Susanna Wesley only ten sur
vived the period of infancy, and of
these only three were sons. John was
thirteen years younger than Samuel
and six years older than Charles OF
his early boyhood only one incident Is
recorded. ON February night in 1909
the rectory was burned. The family,
hurrylng out In terror, left the boy
John sleeping In his attic chamber, and
he was taken out through n window
only an instant before the blazing roof
fell In upon his bed. Wesley always
retained vivid recollection of the
scene. and more than a half century
later, when, thinking himself near
death, he composed his epltaph, he de-
scrlbes himself as "a brand plucked
from the burning"
His mother deemed his rescue n prov
identlal Indication that her son was
preserved for some great work and re-
solved, as she says, Ito be more partic-
ularly careful of the soul of this child
that Thou hast so mercifully provided
for" There Is, however, no evidence
of anything precoc,ous in the religious
development of the boy. but only GER
tain staid, overdeliberateness which he
got from his mother, but which to the
more mercurial temperament of the fa-
ther seemed in lad not yet In his teens
half amusing and half vexatous.

The Christian Name.

The term "Christian name" is used
In England and America only. 'Bap-
tismal name" is used In other countries.
The term seems to have been used
first after the reformation, when Bib
lical names were used as a reaction
against the use of the saints names In
the calendar 1t Is evident that all
Biblical names are not Christian. but
the reaction went so far as to consider
everything In the Bible as Christian
and everything not in the Bible as
pagan or certainly non-Christian.
