DISPLAYED COURAGE
Stories Showing How Two Persons
Faced Great Peril.

Women display courage in their own
Incompatible fashion. Typical OF wo-
mans method of encountering danger
is The story of the woman who OBJ
served as she was concluding her toi-
let for the night the presence of Il bur-
9lar under her bed. Without letting
the man know that she had perceived
him. this woman quietly put on hel
dressing gown and knelt down at tho
bedside TO say her prayers. She prayed
aloud. She made her own personal in
tercessions to heaven and then prayed
for all poor sinners living in the dark
ness Of estranSement from Cod, par
ticularly this unhappy man lying under
my bed, meditating the wickedness ol
stealing and perhaps murder" This
woman saved the situation
| cannot imagine a worse situation,
than that of a certain steeplejack who
found himself one day at the top OF
church steeple with madman grlnning
into his eyes. The madman was his
mate. Both men had been at work on
this steeple for many DAYS and had
talked together while they hung In the
saddles with the utmost accord, but on
tlti3 particular day ono OF the men
locked up TO see madness in the eyes
OF his companion. In that moment
he was alone with danger. No shout
could avail From the street below
ne looked ike Y spider SnoOZiDg in It's
web. The roofs and chimneys OF the
houses seemed to be level with the
ground. High UP IN the loneliness OF
the empty air he was alone with a
madman,

ana addressed some cheerful remark
TO his mate. The madman only grinned.
The man bade him look alive. that
they might the sooner set below ana
enjoy themselves. The madman chuck
led and announced that they would get
below in double quick time. for that h.
was going 10 jump from the steeple
with his friend in his arms
The other laughed as If at n good lest
and turned TO his work. Then he began
pushing with his feet against the stec-
pie TO get Il swing into his saddle; h.,
meant TO grab the madman and hold
him Till help came. But the madnap
was also swinging his saddle. and be,
fore the sane man realized his danger
the madman's fingers were closint-
round his throat
There they swung in the dizzy air
high over the unconscious city. BY
something of a miracle the man founn
his hands clutching at his tool box as
he swung back. His hands closed on

blow across the side OF his head. TheI,

Wonderful Electric Lamp.

a Paris newspaper says that Austrian
chemist hos after many years hard work,
succeeded in constructing new electric
lamp. which ho calls tho Syriua lamp. As
ia well known. incnndesoent snslght is
cheaper than electric light, because tho
hlamont wires of tho latter arc very expcn-
sve and the glass bulbs soon wonr out. a
new substitute for the glowthrcad is pro-
vided by forming out OF common and cheap
metals and InotGlloids colloids In Q plastic
mass, which can be handled like clay and
which, when dry, becomes hard stono.
Ont OF this mass very thin wire throads arc
then shaped, which arc OF uniform thicknoss
and OF great homogcuity. These two char
nctcristics aro Of groat value in the technics
OF incandescent lamps.
The Syrius lamp hardly needs onc-quar-
tor OF tho electric current which the ordinary
electric lamp with ilamons wiro requires.
Experiments. IL is asserted, have shown that
the lamp can burn for $500 hours at
stretch, Another advantage is that the in.

The Chlnrsc Schoolmnsfcr

Most village schoolmasters In China
have qualified themselves for the post
by having failed at least once In the
Government tricnnial examinations. .
says critic in The China Mail After
Two failures the scholar turns without
any hesitation TO this lucrative employ
ment-it furnishes him usually with
two coarse meals day. He needs no
diplomas. no apparatus: no assistants,
not even brains. only n fairly retentlve
memory and few old books He sim
ply puts out, a few days before the old
year expires, Il flaming proclamation
OF red paper and announces that IL IL

celvc pup!ls-if they VIII come. Not
even a schoolhousc Is necessary, He
sits IN n straightforward chair In the
ancestral hall which he owns I'm COM
mon with his clansmen. the hens tho
pigs. the farming implements and the
ancestral tablets, TO receive ragged,
shocless urchins and chopped dollars.
The conditions Of life under which
Il schoolmastcr lives unite To foster his
vanity, His neighbors cannot indulge
the love oG long nails; he can They
cannot wear the long robe: he does
on feast days and special occasions. II
they write letter they confuse the
Chinese characters. When they send
to their honored dominic a present of
roast pork they unwittingly describe
lu as small glft or pearls and jade.
He always writes correctly, for long
practice has made him as familiar
with certain number Of elementary
characters as an Engllshman is with
his alphabet, BY comparison with his
neighbors he Is verltable 'Kwan
Tsz,' or superior man. He cannot be
deceived, The rustic urchins every
morning worship Confucius. afterward
the god OF literature. next the dignifled
occupant OF the high-backed chair.
Were 1t not for the honor attached
to the post, the drudgery of the life
would be unbearable, From IN the
morning until in the evening, with
one short interval for rice, amid shout
Ing and bowling which would silence
the parrot house at the zoo, with voice
and stick he deVotes his life TO the
driving OF Chinese characters into the
almost imOerVious skulls OF his pupils.
But he perseveres. believing that no
position-except the mandarin's-is SO
respected and no profession so honor
able. When an old man. according to
Chinese custom. he looks to his son
for support. At last, with deafening
noise of cymbals. flutes and nrecrack-
ers, his worn-out body is laid in the
hillside grave"
