WHAT "MAGNETn COMES FROM
Interesting Information Concerntng vI the Source of the Word So
 Commonly Used.

Thousands of years ago a mineral having the strange power of attracting iron was found in the country anciept- ly called Magnesia, in Asia Minor. The name of this country has given us the word magnet" says an article About Magnets in St. Nicholas. This min- eral, which is now called the lode- > stone (not '1oadstone), attracted at- tention of the curious, and. it was dis covered that piece of iron which had been rubbed with the lodestone ac- lquired the same power of attracting iron; in other words, the piece of iron became a magnet. It was afterward found that such an iron or artificial magnet could be used like the lode stone itself to convert other pieces of iron into magnets by rubbing. Still more recently a mode of making mag nets by means of electricity was dis covered, that is, by wrapping a piece of insulated wire many times around the bar and then causing current of electricity to pass through the wire. The familiar small toy magnets are simply steel bars which have been rubbed few times against powerful magnets. ""sS

BUSINEsSLIKE RUSSIA.
How the Business of the Post once
 4s Conducted In the Land of the Czar, esr#

We have learned in the past few years to regard Minister de Witte. of Russia, as one of the greatest fhan- c1a1 administrat tors in the world. Yet every book on Russia gives fresh evil dence of mismanagement on the part of the government in the details of business, says Youths Companion. MT. Wirt Gerrare's Greater Russia; the Continental Empire of the World, '' illustrates the Russian way of doing things by this account of the post office service: At the chief post offices in St. Petersburg and in Moscow there is only one clerk selling stamps. He closes his office at two o'clock. He cannot reckon change without a counting board
 There are about half dozen branch offices in these capitals. but stamps are as rare as postal order in a country store in an American village.
 a At one branch post office in Mos- COW the letter-box was full to over flowing when Mir. Gerrare called. He took his letters inside, but the clerk . in charge declined to accept them.
 sBut the letter-box is fulf.,''
 NFind a letter-box which is not full" replied the clerk.
 'sThat will be difficult"

The Santos-DumOnt New Craft Sai1E About Champs E1ysee.
 PARIS, June 24. - Santos-Dumont made his first appearance in air ship No. over the center of Paris. He ma neuvered above the Arc de Triomphe and descended at his residence on the Champs Elysee.
 The aeronaut started from Long champ, going in the direction of the Place de PEtoile, followed by many cy- clists. He executed a number of skill full .maneuvers over the Place de PEtoile, made tour of the Arc de Tri- omphe and, turning down the Champs Elysee, brought his air ship down at the door of his house, IA, which he en- tered and there breakfasted.
 Meanwhile bystanders and mechan- ics held down the air ship, which was surrounded by curious crowd for half an hour. Later Santos-Dumont reap peared, smoking 8 cigarette. In order to avoid sthe trees the airship was lowed to the center of the Champs Ely see, whence it rose and returned to Longchamp. There was little wind.
 The ship maintained an altitude of about hundred feet and answered her helm perfectly. No. g is the smallest air ship Santos -Dumont has yet con- structed. She measures about $500 cu- bic feet, has three horse power engine and resembles an elongated egg.

A FAMOUS FRESHMAN.
In Whose Memory Statue Was Erected in Hungary'A Prin-
 cipnI City.

A monum ent to Count John Butler, the Irish-Hungarian, famous for his charities, was lately unveiled amid much enthusiasm at Buda-P -Pesth, says 8 London report. Count John was a descendant of the Butler who assist ed in the murder of WaIlenstein, hero of the Thirty Years War, for which deed the emperor of Germany reward ed him with counts coronet. Tn the course of time the family ac- quired immense wealth, and is now among the biggest land owners in Hungary, as we'll as Bohemia and Bavaria, the head of the family, how ever, always choosing military ca reer. The Butler commemorated by the monument was as we'll known for his charities as for his matrimo onial troubles. When youth Count Dory compelled John, revolver in hand, to marry his daughter Josephine. He fled during the wedding night, and afterward refused to recognize Jose phine's child. The divorce suit be brought against his wife lasted 36 years, until the day of his death. Even his change of religion, from Catholic to Protetant, did not obtain him decree.

No Place for the Doctor,

A physician whose belief in the fu- lure accords with that of the late Col Ingersoll had occasion recently to perform a surgical operation upon a man not select in his language After letherizing his patient the operation was successfully performed. When the effect of the ether had passed off the subject, looking wildly around the room, exclaimed: Where am I?'' The doctor replied: "Oh, you are all right" "But," said the man, ''I may be all right, but where am I?'' The doctor answered Jocularly: EsIn Heaven" The patient responded: If that's so I'd like to know what in -
 you are doing here?"- Chicago Chron- icle. -t " -.- '.% +-+ v

Lords Prayer for roles.

Tn Poland the patriots are now en- deavoring to popularize the follow ing curious version of the Lords prayer: Our Father Who art in Heaven, restore to us the kingdom of Poland. Deliver us from slavery. Give us this day our daily, bread, but not steeped in blood and poison through the wickedness of our enemies. Par don us for the sins which are en- graven on our swords. Suffer us not to fall into the temptation>o of beeom- ing traitors to Poland, and deliver us from the domination of foreign power, since that is our worst evil.'' Thousands of Poles have learned this prayer by heart, and invariably use it instead of the old and familiar yer sion.-Chicago Chronicle.

Is a Retired Minister and Was
 ? Formerly of schenectady.
 MONTAGUE, Mass, June 24.-Rev. Charles A. Alden, formerly assistant to J. W. Kellar when the latter was commissioner of charities of New York and who was arrested some months ago on a charge of grand larceny dur ing his terms of office and subsequent ly released was taken into custody again this time on bench warrant charging him with forgery of check.
 The indictment alleges forgery in the second degree, the specific charge be- ing that Alden forged the name of Kel- lar on the back of a check for S447. The check had been sent to the com missioner by John l.. Collins and drawn on Schenectady bank.
 Rev. Mir. Alden is a retired Baptist minister and was for a number of years pastor of church in Schenecta- dy, N. Y. During the municipal cam paign in New York which resulted in the election of Mayor Van sWyck he went on the stump and spoke in favor of Tammany Hall. He was later made an assistant commissioner of charities, which he held for a year or two, when he suddenly disappeared. He later ap- peared in Philadelphia, and six months ago he came to the house of his brother in this town. Shortly afterward he was arrested on the charge of grand larceny and was taken to New York, but the charge was subsequently with drawn owing, it was said, to the lack of evidence.

Doctors.

There are doctors of medicine, doc- tors of law, and doctors of divinity, to say nothing of doctors of philosophy and veterinary science.
 All doctors look alike to the ignor- ant. In the celebrated dark ages, be- fore America, gunpowder and break fast foods were discovered, people had about as much faith in doctors of di- vinity as in doctors of medicine.
 People used to worry some as to who should decide when doctors fell out. The difficulty no longer occurs. Doc tors have now fallen into such pud- ding that they are very careful not to fall out-Puck

The Army transports plying between

that many of the soldiers have in their
possession large sums of money indi.

more, the results Of savings in pay and
the profits of investment. There has
been a suspicion for some time that
