The bullock may appear to lead a useless, aimless life when he is slaughtered and in the hands of an up-to-date company it must be admit ted that he more than makes up for his erstwhile want of purpose.
 From his horns the company ex- tracts handles for dainty powder puffs, "ivory" for billiard balls, buttons by the hundred millions year, knife handles and pipe stems. Not a hair, not a gland is wasted. There are desiccated thyroids, ,desiccated thymus, spinal cord powders, anhydrous am monia, pituitary powders, (which fetch e9 l2 shillings per pound), fertilizers, meals for pigs and chickens, isinglass for the brewer and gelatin for the chef, glycerol, rennet and panceratin, gly- cerin and heats foot oil The hoofs yield catalogueful of products, among them cyanide of potassium.

Old Expresses Gone.

A sad piece of news for the lovers
of old Rome is pUblicly announced.
The last but one of the five immense
expresses planted over 400 years ago
by Michael Angelo Buonarotti in the
Rexutiful cioister of Santa degli An
geli, was blown down and broken to
pieces during recent great rain
storm. The sole remaining one Of
this picturesque and famous clump is
also much damaged and must soon
fail, too. The dear Carthusian mOnas-
terry behind the church was taken by
the Italian government, the monks
were dispersed, and the place turned
into hideous museum of profane dig
nitaries discovered during recent ex-
cavations in and around the city. With
almost incredible vandalism the fine
old well and fountain in the middle
Of the Michaelangelesque cloister
were clumsily removed, and in doing
so the roots of the overshadowing cyp-
ress trees were much injured. They
at once began to decay and fall and
were carried off for fireWOOd.

A miss may be as good as mile in
some cases; in others the agony Of
suspense which precedes a narrow es-
cape is almost as disastrous to the
nerve as if the result bore out the
apprehension. An incident of the
nerve-racking kind is thus related by
a young man who was employed by a
large clock firm, and one of whose
duties was to superintend the putting
up of steeple and tower clocks.
There isn't much chance for ad-
venture in the placing of a clock 1t

take one up to the heights; but now

cities, seeing to the construction of a
clock which was being placed in the

tower, inspecting the great dial face
above me.

in an agony of suspense. 1t seemed
hours instead of seconds before the
screwdriver fell on the bricks only a
few inches behind the girl, who was
so unconscious of her danger. The
noise of the fall caused her to jump
and look about her.. but she never
knew what had caused the mysterious
sound nor how near she had come to
death, for the instrument bounded or

Judument Of the Minority.

At a legislative committee hearing
on the equal suffrage bill, a few sea-
sons ago, DR.. Lyman Abbott was the
principal speaker presented by the
anti-sufragists. He evidently felt
that his argument was somewhat
weaker than the bristling eloquence
of the other side, and, with an effort
to right himself, he resorted to that
time-honored arugment of safety in
numbers. He closed his address with
these words:

than this it would be sufficient one.

If Suns Color Changed

all things that are now white, but
these would, of course, be red. Every
thing else would swallow up the red
light and appear quite black. Grass,
for instance, would be black as ink,
and so would the blue of the sky, but
the white clouds would be red. The
same kind of things would happen if
the sun were blue. Everything now
blue or white would be blue and
everything else black. The whole sky,
clouds and all, would be blue. The
grass this time would be blue, not
black, for it reflects both blue and
yellow. Hair would be all black, the
red of the lips would be black and
the rest of the face would be a cloudy
blue.
If the sun were green we would
have little variety. Things that are
now yellow would still be yellow,
things that are blue would be blue
and things that are green would still
be green, but there would be no reds,
puppies, orange, pinks or any OF those

A German astronomer has recently
published some interesting observa-
tons on the theoretical effects of
change in the color of the sun. 1t is
amazing to consider the possibilities
if our sun were green, blue or red, in
stead of what it is. If it were blue
there would only be two colors in the
world-blue and black. If it were red,
then everything would be red or
black. If it were yellow everything
would be yellow or black. Every one
knows that the light of our sun con-
sists of six colors, and the reason
things are different hues is that some
swallow up five of the cOlors and re-
fleet only one. Thus we have prlm-
roses yellow, because they absorb all
but the yellow; roses, red, because
they absorb all but the red; violets
purple because they absorb every
thing but red and blue, a mixture OF
which two coloFs forms purple.
In the event of the sun being red,
roses, blood, red ink, and all other
things that are now red would reflect
it. So also would snow, the lily and

An elderly Greek, accompanied by his
young son, came into the office to
have some work done. The yOungster
spoke few words in English which
the dentist took to mean that the
father would take the chair first.
The dentist examined the old mans
mouth and then looked at him help

but he could not make himself under

The reply came back by the same
