FAULTS OF ELECTRIC LIGHT

Many scientists are working on the
problem of producing an efficient
artificial light All our present meth
ods of lighting by electricity are ex-
cedingly wasteful Of power, practi-
cally all of it going to the production
Of heat. The object, then, Is to pro-
duee light, electrically, without a
large heat loss. In endeavoring to
build up strong physical system,
you will find golden grain belt beer
indispensable. It has the strength Of
bread and meat in liquid form, and is
readily absorbed by the digestive or
gans. Order Of your nearest dealer OF

About four O'Clock q. m. on the
morning Of the 20th q meteor struck
the earth with force enough to jar the
buildings In our town, awaking many
people from their sleep. The report
was as If ton Of dynamite had ex-
ploded. At the home of your CORE
=spondent it struck the earth and
lighted up the west window making
the rooms light for several seconds,
then q rap like heavy thunder and
sthe light disappeared.

act OF taking tamarac poles from his
premises and will prosecute them. We
would reason with the Rev. Conant
that these men are honorable men.

A curious case has taken place in
our town. A settler expected to trade
at one Of our local stores, and was
given book on which the account
was to be kept .. o. one leaf Of the
book note was In blank form which
the man signed and the store keeper
kept the leaf. Afterwards the man
concluded not to trade with the store
keeper. The storekeeper sold the note
at the bank and the man is dunned
Ifor the amount. OF course the give1
of the note will have to pay. but

not hold their customer confidence,

Toad Stones.

Most readers have no doubt heard Of
the precious jewels which the toad car.
tes in his brain box. and SO called
toadstones, which were in reality the
teeth of fossil fish, were formerly worn
in finger rings as q protection against
poison.
1t was thought that the best stones
were those voluntarily elected by the
living toads; but, as the latter were not
addicted to freely giving up their treas
ures In that way, 1t was necessary to
procure the coveted articles by other
means. and the recognized method was
to decapitate the hapless batrachian
at the instant he swallows his breath.
The feat naturally demanded consider.
able celebrity. such as could only be nc
CURED by constant practice. and it ia
not rea sonable. therefore, to assume
that. although the endeavors to gain
possession of the jewels were perhaps
numerous. they must have Invariably
been unsatisfactory, especially to the
toads.

Odd wedding Customs.

In Switzerland the bride on her wed

her parents. to kiss her upon the lips.
In many of the provinces the cook
pours hot water over the threshold aft
er the bridal couple have gone in order
to keep 1t warm for another bride. A
favorite wedding day in Scotland is
Dec. 81. so that the young couple can
leave their old life with the old year
and begin their mlrried life with the
new one, surely pretty iGea. The
Italians permit no wedding gifts that
are sharp or pointed. from which prac-
tice emanates our superstition that the
gift Of knife sewers friendship. One
Of the most beautiful Of oil marriage
customs Is that OF the bride immedi-
ately after the ceremony flinging her
bouquet among her maiden friends.
She who catches 1t Is supposed to be

ma Turk end ma Insurance.


One man was complaining that he
had insured twenty years before In q
mutual benefit company which prom
ised all sorts Of things. and now the
time was up he received less than he
would have done ii he had invested his
money elsewhere. A wise Turk who
was sitting close by said it reminded
him Of camel belonging to friend Of
his. 1t was q most intelligent brute,
and the owner was convinced that If
he found q really good teacher it could
he taught to talk. Presently a Hodga
appeared who said he was Of the same
opinion and would teach 1t. but it
would take a long time, probably thirty
years. The owner was delighted and
agreed to pay the Hodga q fixed sum
per annum and big bonus when the
animal talked, the Hodga promising to
pay heavy fine II 1t did not. A friend
afterward went to the Hodga and said:
WHAT on earth induced you to make
that agreement? You know you can
never teach the camel to talk" 'Oh,"
said the Hodga, Il know that, but dur
ing the thirty years either | shall
die or the owner will or the camel.
