RELIEF FOR STORE WORKERS
Large Depnrtment Concern fn Chi- '"1. eage Gsves Thesn Respite
 Mvsry Two Hours.

.'sDo you know that in every wslI- managed department store there are dozens of employees who have to be re- lieved about once in two hours?g That brief respite of 20 minutes. or even less. is all that stands between them and nervous presentation -. or something 2 worse. There is nothing that will af- feet the mind aa soon as deadly mo- notony. There is such an employs now"
 The superintendent of the store point ed to colored man who was stationed at the head of the escalator. says the Chicago Inter Ocean
 'Do you see how nervously he paces the little strip between the moving stairway and the next counter? Those are his boundary lines, and he has ab- golutely nothing to do but watch that shoppers coming up those stairs do not trip, turn dizzy and meet with some ac- cident which would reflect on the stores management The stairs are perfectly safe, but they affect some people unac- quainted with them badly.
 "Now, if the man were selling goods or taking care of stock, or cleaning and dusting, the limit placed on his move ments would not get on his nerves. You probably think that the ever-changing tide of shoppers would afford him some entertainment, but in time all shoppers look alike to him. When he is relieved the employe who comes to his rescue will stand quietly enough, because he has been on duty at another post fol the past 20 minutes, and does not have time at any one place to become nervous from the monotony. But almost invar- iably the employe who has been on duty for two hours or more begins to pace the floor just before the relief arrives for all the world like lion or tiger at the ZOO. knowing that the feeding time is at hand.
 Among the employees thus relieved are the elevator men and telephone girls ] do not know. that every store has the same relief system, as we pride our selves on an organization that is almost military, but some attempt at relief is made by every management making 2 pretense to modern methods of organiza. ton"

Longest Baseball Throw.

The longest distance man has ever thrown baseball is a little more than e81 feet. The record for women was Aeld, until recently, by. a Vassar cham pfon, who threw ball 181 feet. There has now arisen in Tacoma. Wash, a Soung woman who beat that record by 24 feet. Anatomists have frequently ex- plained that the formation of woman s shoulder blades prevents her from throwing straight and far; but the Ta- coma record, 2o5 feet, is just about the distance from the deep outfield to the home plate. Evolution seems to be at srork producing shoulder blades that will enable the American girl to share the delights of the national game.

A STRONG MAN NEEDED.
One Case Where Good Biceps Were More Useful Than Much Ingenu-
 ity-An Automobile Tale.

man and woman in an automobile were stuck in Chamb bers street just west of Broadway the other afternoon, says the New York Sun. It was a small ma chine, evidently come from New Jersey by way of the Erie ferry Alongside each of the car tracks in Chambers street is a deep rut. The wheels of the automobile just fitted in these ruts, and, as it had sheen raining, the ground was very slip pery.
 The automobile followed the track for the cars going toward the ferry, and had almost got to Broadway when car came along and blocked the way The man running the automobile worked the steering gear to get the machine out of the way, but the wheels just slid along the rails and refused to leave the track When the automobile was almost touch ing the noses of the car horses he turned of the power.
 Then he reversed, went back 50 feet and tried it again with the same result Still another attempt to get off the track failed, and by that time the usual crowd had collected Persons made humorous suggestions as to how best to getthe ma CAIue Oh euo u c1oh- ho A1A WuO We1S running the machine took it good-na- turedIy enough. But the machine stayed where it was.
 The car conductor got long strip of wood and placed it over one rail with the idea of using it for wedge. That didn t work. The automobile simply pushed the wedge aside. The conductor was sure the auto could 'be moved that way and tried again-all in vain.
 Meantime, big man dressed like a Iongshoreman stood on the curb, seem ingly greatly interested When every scheme to get the automobile off the track had failed, he stepped over, lifted the front of the machine of the track and set 1t straight before the woman in the automobile even had chance to scream.

THE RENEWAL OF YOUTH.

BY Rev. J.. ". Kidd.
In the aged. childhood, youth and
manhood are not de" :. They still live.
Childhood has only been put to bed;
youth hrs only gone off to school and
manhood has only engaged in bust
ness or enlisted in the army or gone
off on an exploring expedition into
the regions of old age. In due time
childhood will awake from a long, re-
freshing sleep and come bounding out
of bed more joyful than ever; youth
will come home from college with his
eyes sparkling with JOY and his face
shining with wisdom and knowledge.
ana manhood Will return from the
battleields ce life and the weakness
Of old age enriched with frmness. en-
durance and experience. and together
they viii blend .-to one glorious and
composite being, embracing all the
stages Of human life minus their de-
fects and imperfections. Childhood

youth, il seems 10 me. is to be the per-

| cannot belle'e that gray hairs, dim
eyes. wrinkled faces, sallow skin and
trembling limbs represent the normal
condition of human life. because they
are evidences of disease, decay and
death, and disease is an abnormal con
dition brought ON by sin. God made
health the normal condition of life
and disease the abnormal condition.
lngersoil once said: ''If / had been
making the world instead OF God I
would have made health contagious
instead Of disease" to which a medl-
cal professor replied: Then he would
have been compelled to have made
disease instead OF health the normal
condition of life How dreadful
would this have been! But God knew
better how to make a world than in
fidels do.
Now. il the d~ecrepltude of age is the
result of disease. and disease is an alb
normal condition OF life brought about
by sin. it follows therefore that all
these abnormal conditions will forever
disappear when our redemption is
fully completed In the morning of the
resurrection. All the weakness, cor
ruptibility and dishonor to which the
body has been subjected on account
of sin will be exchanged for incorrup-

A Queer Relic.

In University College, London, is a
singular object that is preserved care
fully in a remote gallery inside a glass
case. which again is contained in a
huge wooden cupboard. the doors of
which are locked and the keys in safe
custody. The relic which is thus so
~zealously guarded is described In some
notes on the history Of the college as
the skeleton" of Jeremy Bentham,
"clad in the garments in which he
lived" while his head only is stated
to have been "mummifed." Ii has al
ways been understood that Bentham's
body was embalmed, and in that case
1t cannot be his mere skeleton which
is reposing there under lock and key.
