lister Of the gospel and a registered physician
had an amusing experience in his attempt TO
corner a Christian Scientist.
Every time they met this scientist took oc-
casion to scon at medical science and TO dwell
upon the wonders that could be performed
through faith. 'You are convinced that,
through faith. you can do anything" said the
medical day.
Yes he replied, faith win move noun

week later he was in the Doctors Office
with a swollen jaw, due to toothache.
What! You here?' the doctor exclaimed
with feigned establishment.
''Oh DOCTOR" he said, II have suffered agony
all through the night. l simply can't stand
this pain any longer"
Have you tried faith?" the physician asked
him. You know you told me faith could
move mountains"

Senator Hanna's attitude toward his employees
is neither stand-offsh nor off-hand. Many a
coal miner a street railway conductor can
testify to the fact that Mr.. Hanna has slapped
him squarely between the shoulders as he sang
out cheerily Good morning. Billi'' But not
one has ever had the senator crack jokes with
him.
A joke is never looked for; but when an
employee meets Hanna the former knows by ex-

Governor vardaman. of Mississippi. in his
inaugural address made the statement that
education had only resulted in making
criminals of negroes. Such a statement is
extraordinary in view of some recently pub
Iished facts and figures. In South Carolina

only Is per cent. are as well instructed.
Sixty per cent. of the Georgia convicts, and
only az per cent. OF the colored population
of the State are illiterate. Among Alabama
negro criminals a still larger proportion

Food Value of Eggs.

Eggs are very nourishing food and represent
two important elements, fats and proteids, in an
easily assimilated form. a single egg weighs
about IL ounces of which one ounce is white,
or pure abumen and one-half ounce yolk. The
nutritive value of the yolk is greater than that
CT the white, though its bulk and weight are
smaller. Its solid constituents about one
half of its fat Fresh eggs, properly prepared,
are readily digestible The best mode of prep
aration is whipped raw, or cooked for twenty
or thirty minutes at a temperature Of about
100 degrees (curdled). The yolks are more easily
digested when boiled hard, and the whites are
also easily digested when hard boiled, providing
care is used to reduce the coagulated white
to minute particles which may readily be dis
solved by the gastric juice.

The New Approach in Science.

At present the phenomena of physics are as
it were. divided into two camps; acoustics and
heat which are explained from the laws Of me-

explained. For half century we have tried

lead us. Perhaps it is a mere matter Of words

charged or that ali matter is modified electrici-
