Five Hours in a Well.

Freddie" Mcdonald, two and Q
hair years old, spent five hours in a
well at Marlboro, Mass, the other day
while several hundred persons scour-
ed the wood on the outskirts of tho
city and dragged ponds for his body
No one had seen him since 10
o'clock in the morning. His parents
and the neighbors became alarmed as
hour after hour sped by and the miss
ing youngster could not be found.
1t was near 8 o'clock in the after.
noon when Edward Murphy determin
ed to examine the well on the Con-
nors estate. He procured long pole
and dropped it into the well. What
was his surprise when he heard the
cries of the boy. Hastily withdraw
ing the pole he made his way slowly
down. When about twenty-five feet
from the surface he came upon the

stretched across the well md kept

~ curious gift has been made to the
Natural History Museum of Soletta.
This gift consists of birds nest con-
structed entirely of steel. There arc
a great many watchmakers at Soletta
and in the vicinity of the workshops
there are always the remains Of the
old springs of watches which have
been cast aside. Last summer a
matchmaker discovered this curious
birds nest, which had been built in a
tree in his courtyard by pair OF
water-wagtails. 1t measures ten
centimetres in circumference. and is
made solely of watch springs.

Reporter Not Posted.

Col. Lowell H. Jerome Of the col
lector's Office, who boards all the In
coming steamers, told the other day
Of en- unpublished incident attending
the recent arrival Of the Archbishop
of Canterbury. A very young reporter
on a very yellow newspaper was
among those assigned to meet the pri-
mate, and he sat up all night to do it.
Somehow, however, he missed the
Archbishop at the dock.
Nothing daunted, he rushed to a
telephone and called up Archbishop
Farley, whom he had once inter
viewed, and asked him what time he
could meet his distinguished colleague
from England at the archiepiscopal
palace. 1t is said that Archbishop
Farley's secretary, who is very dip
lomatic ecclesiastic, explained to him
as gently as possible that all arch
bishops did not belong to the same
church.-New York Times.

He's seventy-and Hoping.

A Wichita (Kas.) man who has been
mining for five years in the wilds of
Arizona tells some interesting stories
about his partner, who for thirty-five
years has been alternating between
hope and despair as he searched for
gold in the Arizona mountains. The
old fellow is more than 70 years old.
He thinks that one day he will strike
it rich, and then he proposes to have
a big time. And here is his idea of a
big time. Jack" he said, when l

Ears of lobsters.

Most curious are the ears of lob
sters. Each is sac or bag, contain
ing fluid and "ear stones" these last
being particles of mineral matter. or
in some cases. particles Of sand. They
increase the vibrations set up by
sound waves, which in due season i'm
pinge on the delicate cells of the ear
which contain the ends of the nerve OF
hearing. These last, in turn. convey
the impressions to what serves the
lobster by way of brain. and a very
respectable nervous mass it is.

STRIPES WORN BY coNvIcrs.
Their Use Based on the Authority Of
the Scriptures.


did you ever stop to think about
the origin of stripes we use in our
prisons?" said a man with an eye for
the curious. IF you have not, 1t will
not take you long to figure the thing
out if you happen to know anything
about the Bible. The fact is that we
get the ideas from the old dispense
ton. When / say 'we,' | mean the
people of our civilization, of our own
day and time, and who live under and
are guided by our systems and notions.
For instance, in the laws and ordi-
nances of Deuteronomy we find the
following, which will give us a clew
to the origin of stripes as badge OF
infamy: II there be controversy
between men, and they come unto
judgment, that the judges may judge
them, then they shall justify the right
eous and condemn the wicked. And 1t
shall be, If the wicked man be worthy
to be beaten, that the Judge shall
cause him to lie down and be beaten
before his face, according to his fault,
by certain number. Forty stripes ne
may give him, and not exceed, lest II
he should exceed and beat him above
these with many stripes, then thy
brother should seem vile unto thee.
Now, instead of infiicting these physi-
cal stripes, we put striped clothes on
the men who offend the law, or who
may come unto judgment, that the
judges may Judge them as it Is put
in the text. Of course you should &C
much further back in history If you
cared to trace the origin of marks OF
infamy, but you would find that physi
cal mutilation of some sort in ma
jority of instances afforded the
means"

SAFEST FOOD
In Any Time of Trouble is Grape-Nuts.

Food to rebuild the strength and that
is pre- digested must be selected when
one is convalescent. At this time there
is nothing so valuable as Grape-Nuts
for the reason that this food Is all
nourishment and is also all digestible
nourishment. A woman who used 1t
says:
"Some time ago l was very i'll with
typhoid fever, so iii everyone thought
I would die, even myself. 1t left me
so weak I could mot properly digest
food of any kind and I also had much
helpless wreck.
Il needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could. but none of the tonics
helped me until finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that l thought
delicious as could be but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again so
l can do all my homework, sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace Of
bowel trouble and for that reason alone
Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight in
gold" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequently
sets up bleeding and makes them for
months incapable Of digesting the
starches and therefore pre- digested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the well
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starehes have been transformed
into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage Of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore any,
one, no matter how weak the stomach.
can handle it and grow strong, for all
the nourishment is still there.
There's a sound reason and 10 days
trial proves.

JUST ONCE MORE
Rule Is Broliea for Final Letter on a
 Forbidden Topic.

To the Editor of The publican Sir: In your issue of the 18th inst. appears a communication from the Rev Paul C. Hester directed against secret societies, and, unfortunately. the best of them all-benevolent fra ternities. As you break your long es- tabIished rule in regard to controverted religious discussions only at Mir. Hes ters urgent and repeated request. | merely ask the same consideration and request that you print a few of my profound views in the premises, and ask you to consider this request sui ficiently urgent and repeated.
 I am well aware of the futility of all religious discussion on cOntrsverte- = points. The world has been at it since religions appeared among men. and will continue as long as human nature remains unchanged with all it's iGnpe-- factions, it's weakness. it's proneness to error. its intolerance and it's stupcad- uous egotism.
 As we occupy for but a little while the stage of action in flies unsndins drama, it is our duty l. do OUT best in the parts assigned us to excel our predecessors, striving toward that per lection we cannot hope tc attain, but making the way easier fer those who come after us. Therefore we should approve all things that arc good and condemn all things that are bad by word and by deed.
 After digesting Mir. Hester's article q swallowed it with difficulty) my first reflection was. How strange that a good man, as all ministers of the gos- peIs of Christ should be. can object to others approximating ever sc slightly to his saintliness by trying to do little good themselves. openly or se- cretly, Now, ] am neither a Chriztian Gas the word is commonly understood nor a member of any secret society except one I joined 1t school with Q, name indicated by three Greek letters to further conceal it's nefarious char acter). SO I speak only as a spectatC., and my views are. If worth anything, only so much as such.
 MT. Hester says: These frateTni- ties rob Christ of his glcry."
 We all know that berevolence or Christian charity, as we see it in it's manifold and bea utiful forms. is the result of the presence and influence of Christ in the heart and in the world We fail to see such things in the heath en world. Charity belongs to Chris tianity It is the work Of Christ Now, when ? man gives and fails to ac- knowledge Christ in the gift, he has robbed the Son of God>of his peculiar glrry."
