The Saw.

Pliny says that the saw was first in
 vented by Daedalus; but, according to
 Apollodorus, it was the invention of
 Talus, who used the jawbone of q crocodile to cut through a piece of wood and then made an iron instru- ment in imitation of 1t. The saw Is represented on the monuments of Egypt from 25O0 to 5000 B. c. As early as A. D. 1922 sawmills driven by water power were in operation at Augsburg, and, 1t Is believed, before this they were in operation in Paris, driven by the current of the Seine The first saw mill erected in the Norway pineries was In 153O. Sawmills were numerous in Italy in the sixteenth century. They were not introduced into England until 1863, when a native of Holland built one, but was compelled to abandon it by the opposition of the populace, car penters and other artisans, who saw no good in such newfangled contrivance.

Risks In Railway Journeys.

The idea that the man who goes on a railway journey takes his life in his hand and is rather more likely than not to meet with an untimely death at the first curve the train negotiates is scarcely borne out by the fact that the chances against any one passenger meeting his death on the railway are 36,O0O,O00. to 1. This immunity from disaster reflects considerable credit upon the companies, but still more upon engine drivers and signalmen, whose skill and care are the main factors in the safety of the passenger.-London Court Journal.

ZOrOastrian Rites.

Zoroaster enjoined purity of body as we'll as of soul, and the Avesta pre- scribes very elaborate ablutions and lustrations to remove any defilement The greatest pollution Is that which arises from contact with anything dead, as death is the creation of Ahri- man and his greatest triumph over the power of Ormazd. The code of the Vendidad assigns the mine nights ab- lution" for the purif1cation of persons so polluted. It consists in a series of sprIpklings with holy water and other liquid, accompanied by a wearisome amount of ceremonial detail, to exercise the spirit of deflement. The Greek writer Lucian In one of his humorous dialogues seems to ridicule this purif1- catory rite when he says that the Magi in nine nights cleansed Pythagoras of all his sins in life.-A. V. Williams Jackson In Century.

They Waited We'll,

A large audience once gathered ir Baltimore to hear Professor Sylvester read unique original poem of 4OC lines. all rhyming with the name Rosa. lind. He had appended to the poem a large number of explanatory footnotes, which he said he would read first When at last he had done so he look ed up at the clock and was mortified to find that he had kept the audience an hour and a half before beginning to read the poem they had come to hear. The astonishment on his face was an- swered by burst of good humored laughter from the audience, and then, after begging all his hearers to feel at perfect liberty to leave if they had en- agreements, he read the Rosalind poem.

The person who settles matter and settles it wrong Is in the position of a man who has got rid of the skunk un- der his porch by driving the innocent little animal under the barn. Then every wandering boy who knows the facts comes along and works for hours with pole trying to goad the animal. Whether he succeeds or not, the at tempt is ruinous to the brand of at mosphere used in the neighborhood.- Minneapolis Journal.

HelROlamd SOuD.

What do the Helgolanders do with their birds? Some are sent away to the Hamburg market and the rest kept for home consumption. Roasting be- fore slow fire, with the tail on, over toast, is practically an unknown art or at least one rarely practiced. Every thing goes into the pot for soup. "Tros- selsoup' is an institution much lauded. MT. Gatke tells us how it @.Nuld be prepared. Take care to commit forty or fifty thrushes, according to the re- Quirements of the family, to the soup pot, and do not have the fattest birds drawn, and if the cook is true artist no one will fail to ask a second helping. A favorite Helgoland dish is kittiwake pie. In November and December these gulls are very fat and when prepared in Helgolandish fashion are considered a delicacy, although a somewhat fishy one. The gray crow is also very ia. vorite dish.-Chambers' Journal.

Antismokinx Edict..

Strenuous efforts have been made in times past to stamp out smoking. Among the rules of an English school in 1929 it was laid down that "a master must be man of grave behavior, nei- ther papist nor Puritan, no haunter of alehouses and no buffer of tobacco" In Turkey, where the pipe is now omni- present, former sultans made smoking a crime, and offenders were punished by having their pipes thrust into their noses, while in Russia royal edict or dered the noses of the smokers to be cut off,

der a Republican tariff law that pro-
tects the American workman from
the poorly-paid laborer OF Europe
and that builds up a home market
for farm products in every locality

Democratic politicians and Dem

farmers of the country believe that
they receive no benefit from the pro

which Providence and not the Re

is disproved by the above figures
Providence has blessed the farmers
with bountiful crops, but the fact
that they have been able to sell those

enactment into laws of Republican
