Muscular Christianity.

Prof. Bryce, in his biographical
study Of Bishop Fraser, of Manches-
ter, tells of a clergyman of Fraser's
diocese who had knocked man down
who had insulted him. The bishop
wrote him a letter of reproof, point
ing out that exposed as the Church of
England was to much criticism on all
hands, her ministers ought to be very
careful of their demeanor. The Of
fender replied by saying: Il must re-
gretfully admit that, being. grossly
insulted, and forgetting in the heat of
the moment the critical position OF
the Church Of England, I did knock
the man down, etc. Fraser was de-
lighted with the turning of the tables
on himself, and afterWard invited the
clergyman to visit him.

1t Is Practically Certain to Be the
Best in the World.
The new United States army rifle
is remarkable evolution in small
arms since the old Springfield single
loader had it's day. Practically twelve
years cover the period Of the develop
ment, although the experience of the
Spanish and Philippine wars has nat
urally made the progress more rapid
since 1898 than before that time.
when the Krag was made the basis of
the army magazine rifle there was
more or less criticism, but it was
poorly conceived The Ordinance de.
partment has never regarded any
model as necessarily a finality, but has
ever been bent on improvements.
Consequently notifications have been
numerous and steady, and there is no
reason why, with this constant appli-
cation OF experience and inventive ge-
MUS the United States service maya
zine rife should not be equal to any
in the world.-Springfield (Mass) Re-

Just an Incident in Georuia.

Mr. Bud Spinks was awakened the

noise in his room, which proved to be
the voice of a medin m-sized alligator

dentally trying to swallow his boots,
which he had placed there to dry, and
which he had bought on the install
ment plan and had only made one pay

eeeded in swallowing one boot and
had the other down-clear to the
straps, which Mr.. Spinks seized and
pulled it out. The gator is now on
exhibition at 'Minche's drug store, but
will soon be slain in 'order that Mr..
Spinks, who is going around with one
boot and one slipper, may recover the
other boot.-Adams Enterprise.

To Cut Record Diamond.

In Amsterdam syndicate has been
formed which will bear the great ex-
pense and risk attending the cutting
of what is the largest known diamond,
the Excelsior. The Excelsior was
found at the Jagersfontein diamond
mines Of South Africa in 1898. Itzhas
the size of a hens egg and weighs in
its present raw state go carats, which
is nearly twice as much as the Kohl
moor weighed before it was reduced
to its present size. Specially con
structed machinery has to be en-
ployed for cutting the Excelsior and
great care is used in insuring its safe
ty from theft.

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
3everaI important Points That Must
Be Remenb ered

BE Remembered.
To teach child with success re-
quires only common sense, good judg'
ment and gentleness. There are, how
ever three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
Of the teacher
First of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the
indeXible rule that requires a teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present it
in an interesting and Ineligible way.
Third, there is the ever present dam
ger of OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher must always be on guard
In the beginning short lessons fire..
quently varied give the best results.
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped so long as to-
morrow represents another day.-The

Take a Look at Venus.

Young man, when you have finish
ed your dinner tonight, go up to the
roof or out in the street or yard by
your home and take good, long look
at the star of the evening. She will
do you much good. In the first place,
the mere fact Of your having thought
enough to spend the time to do this
will aid your mental development. In
the second place you will have to lift
your eyes and chin from the mire Of
the street about you to clean glory Of
Omnipotence. In the third place, you
cannot. look for five minutes at Venus
or at any other planet or star without
absorbing into yourself some of the
calm, silent power which wheels this
universe along its unbrollen track,
with never q slip of the tire or jostling
of the axle.-New York News.

Motor Cars in Switzerland.

Should the experiments in progress
in the neighborhood of Berne prove as
successful as is anticipated travellers
to Switzerland in the summer Of this
year will be able to cross the noun
tains by motor car instead of the
usual post diligence. The actual trials
will be made in the spring, and the
result, if successful, will be not only
to allow travellers to make the differ
ent journeys in half the time, but to
open the mountain roads, which are at
present closed to them on account of
the horses.

Here's a New uprink" Cure.

A novel remedy for the drink hab-
it'-or, rather, for enabling those
who have "sworn OF" to remain
ION the water cart ''-consists of ice
water drunk through a raw potato.
Take a bowl of ice water and a pota-
to. Peel the potato and cut down one
end of it until it can be easily insert
ed in the mouth. Dip the potato in
the ice water and suck it every time
a craving for strong drink comes on.
1t is claimed that this treatment will
effect an absolute cure. The why and
the wherefore are not stated, but the
process is such a simple one that
there can be no harm in trying it it
any one is afflicted with thirst
which they really and truly desire to-
lose.

VIA Good Cause for Divorce.

The widow Of a large estate owner
in Germany, who recently married a
count of small means, has obtained a
separation from her second husband
on exceedingly novel grounds. After
the marriage the bride discovered
that her husband wore a wig and re-
ceived such a shock at the sight of
his bald head that she took a violent
antipathy to him, and commenced
proceedings against him. Her suit
was successful and she obtained a
separation after three weeks mar.
ariage. The grounds upon which the
decision was based were that if she
had known of the wig she would
never have married the count.

TO GET RID OF RATS.
Writer Recommends Dipping the Ver-
min in Varnsh.

min in Varnish.
All tradesmen, being liable to the
incursions and depredations of rats,
it may not be out of place to mention
a method of getting rid of these pests
which is recommended by cores
pondent of the Birmingham Daily
Post. This consists in thinning down
with petroleum ordinary sloW-drying
tar varnish such as bedstead makers
and japanners use and pouring the
mixture into the runs Of the rats.
The vermin are said to loathe the
smell of the stuff, and will do any
thing to get clear of it. A still more
effective plan is said to be to catch
rat alive, dip it up to the neck IN the
varnish and turn it loose. Its tei
lows will fee from it as from the
dell. The dipping process is said to
be harmless to the rat. But-some
ironmongers may not care to dip
live rat UP to it's neck

In few months they have sunk to an

About half the world puts the wrong

which is the wrong. foot? 1t is a

if the left foot touches the floor first

Probably many men avoid this by
sleeping on the right side of the bed,
SO that in rising the right foot natur-
ally comes first in contact with the
floor 1t is said to be a fact that most
people lie on their right side because
of the prevalent notion that the heart
has frcer action.-New York Press.
