DoFFs STRIPES TO PRAY.

His Respect for the Scrip

A certain and favorite junior officer in
the United States navy had for a consid-
cradle time observed that the admiral
always removed his uniform coat and
donned one of less pretensions wien he
read his Bible in Sunday mornings, re-
lates Lippincott's Magazine He often
wondered why the commander Of the
flagship should do so strange a thing.
and SO one day. when the good humor ct
the admiral permitted the great amount
OF freedom such a question would re-
Quire. he asked:
Admiral, will you tell me why you al
ways remove your uniform coat before
you open your Bible for Sunday morn
ing's reading?''
The admiral lifted his eyes and grave
ly stared the young officer in the face.
His smile was more beatific than forbid
ding.
Lieutenant, ! remove my uniform
coat before reading the Bible because /
can never give the Lord of Hosts the
proper amount OF respect and alteration
with the stripes of an admiral embracing
the arms that support the Bible"
1t was question of the pride of his
heart-Which was in his admirals
stripes-overcoming the love he held for
his Maker when he would render his de-
votion to him.

.RADIUM CURES SNAKE BITE
But It Is Not Likely That sportsmen
Will Substitute It for the
Old Remedy.

It is claimed that radium is sure cure
for snake bite, but the leading experts
will be slow to accept the statement,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The
old-fashioned remedy cannot be lightly
tossed aside. There are too many men
who are ready to insist that they owe
their lives to the fact that the ancient
elixir was close at hand and Of sufficient
potency. Thousands of fishermen stand
ready to back it up-more particularly
as preventive. The snakes themselves
are so familiar with its curative power
that in many instances they refrain
from biting simply because it would be
a waste of both effort ard venom. And
then again, how is this radium nostrum
to be toted round? Can it be inclosed in
jug that will so under the seat of the
boat? Can it be housed in a flask with
screw to the top that will find ample
quarters in the masculine pistol pocket?
Has it had any previous experience in
this line of human effort? Will the
snakes respect it,
Until these weighty questions are an

ordinarily intelligent fisherman. viii

FATHER OF PRESSED STEEL
Philadelphia Cooper Led by Accident

dustry.

The pressed steel industry which is
| one OF the largest il the country to-day.
was born in little cooper shop not far
from ST. John and Buttonwood streets.
in Philadelphia.
Charles ]. Schoel. who is literally the
father of this business, was engaged in
Philadelphia following the occupation
Of a cooper and presided over a little
plant ct which he constituted the entire
force of Workmen.
While doing this he conceived the idea
Of making doorstep for railroad cars,
which at once forced itself into popular
ity with carbuilders. and was generally
adopted. 1t was an instant success. for
the reason that it was extremely simple
and at the same time effective, holding
the door open by spring in the floor OF
the car.
The demand Tor these devices soon
overtaxed the capacity of the little coop
er shop, and in casting about for some
quicker means of making the things the
idea OF pressing them out of steel was
hit upon. From this humble beginning
pressed steel was soon found available
for other purposes in car-building. and
to-day the entire freight car, including
the wheels, is made in this manner. no
