Power.

Is not the evidence of ease on the
very front OF all the greatest works
In existence? Do they not say plainly
to us. not there has been a great
effort here" but there has been a
great power here?" 1t Is not the
WEAKNESS OF mortality. but the
strength of divinity. which We have
to recognize in all mighty things; and
this Is just what we now never rec
ognize. but think that we are to do
great things by help of iron bars and
perspiration. Alas! we shall do moth
ing that way. but lose some pounds
OF our own weight-Ruskin.

had found only few valueless pa
pers belonging 10 the dead man, and
then went to a hotel room with the
young safe deposit clerk. In the ho'
tel room they counted the money
and they found that il amounted ia
exactly $54 900. The superintend-
ent gave the young fellow $4,000,
and the latter said that he was per-
fectly satisfied with his cut. That
| left the superintendent $4,000 to
the good.
He had hardly put the theft
! through, made the division and sep
! arated from the young fellow be-
fore he was sore on himself but there
was no turning back at that stage
OF II. and he therefore tried 20 com
fort himsclf with the reflection that
the dead miser had probably left no
heirs, and that the money was ca
pable Of being put to better uses in
his hands than IL IL had been dis
covered by somebody else in the
presence OF a number of witnesses
and had reverted TO the State for
lack Of legal heirs. During the next
six months he built himself a COM
Portable home in the town near Chi
cago, hunched along his financial as
sistance TO his brothers, whom he
was educating, and tucked what was
left OF the pile into the bank.
Then. of sudden, the story came
out, and the hospital superintendent
was arrested disgraced and sent to
prison for three years. The young
fellow who got the $4,000 peached.
He had quit his job with the safe
deposit company and had taken TO
rum and the racetracks. In "a state
of suds one day he had uncoiled the
story of the find in great detail, for
he was a bit grOuChy, being pin
head and hOggisb, because his share
hadn't been "A half instead of
third.
The story i'm the papers attracted
the attention Of the heirs Of the dead
wanderer in various parts OF the
country, and they had the hospital
superintendent and the young fellow
gathered in. The young fellow as an
accessory, got three years, too He
was broke, or nearly so, when nailed
through his garrulOusness, but the
superintendent had more than $40
000 left, which he willingly turned
over to the ncirs.

convince me that he was "A thief at

Warns the Cook.

In the cooking OF certain liquids II
Is often necessary 10 know when a
certain temperature has been reached
as the milk, etc. Unless the cook
is careful the liquid becomes too hot
and burns" This preparation OF in
fusions, such as coffee, cannot happen
where the temperature alarm shown
here is used. IL consists OF a base
ring, extending from which are four
uprights which support a twisted
wire standard. At the upper extrem-
ity OF che latter is an inclined loop
in which rests ball attached to a
chain. Secured on the standard is a
bell. Pivoted within the base ring Is
an inverted cup, from which extends
a rod, the upper end connecting with
the bail. In operation the device 10
placed in vessel containing a liquid.

they accumulate sufficiently to cause
the pressure beneath the cup to lift
it. The cup IN rising carries up the
rod. which In turn throws the ball
out of the loop. The ball in falling
strikes the bell, and so sounds an
audible alarm. To adjust the ap-
paratus to different temperatures a
weight is. placed on the cup opposite
to the rod. In this way the time OF
lifting the cup may be accelerated or
retarded, the range being 140 to PA
degrees.

the seeds were planted. Tea has also

stands In the way OF its becoming a

Relieving the Poor.
BY BOLTON HALL.

"I hear you have Joined the Stole
Settlement, o Eupraxsillies. Is your
Settlement another Society for the
poor?"
mo, Socrates, We have had such
a society ever since the fourth Olym-
piad. and we have more suppressed
vice than ever"
What. then. do you accomplish.
Eupraxsillies?"
"No man knows what the Gods
accomplish through him, Socrates,
but We try TO save the poor from
the consequences of error and vice. I"
But IL you succeed. o Eupraxsii-
lies, will they not commit more err
rors and vices?"
We'll. perhaps should rather
say, from the evils of poverty. We
have a Neighborhood House"
But who made the House, Eu-
praxsillies?"
why, we indeed paid for it. but
necessarily the poor people made IL. ="
And do they make all the wealth
that YOU spend in relieving their pow
erty. Eupraysillies?
Certainly they make II them
selves, Socrates, for we do not work
In truth, we do not know how TO
make such things ourselves"
Then would IL not be better TO
teach them how 10 keep for them
selves what they make"
1T would seem so, Socrates, but
they are too ignorant, so we give
them back part Of what we get.
You do well to call IL Settle
ment,' although it is more like a
Compromise - with Creditors. But.
Eupraxsillies, you said that they pro-
duce what you do not know how TO
produce, except that you know how
to take what they make. Is it not
rather. then, you who are Ignorant"
NAY. Socrates, they know only
how to build houses and such things:
they know how to make things-we
know how TO get them, but only in
accordance with the laws, and we
do good with what we take"
But we make the laws, EupraX-
stiles; are we, then doing any good
by relieving the poor of their wealth.
and then making them more comfort
able, and so more contented with
such laws?"
"Well-at least, Socrates, We have
improved the neighborhood. Since
we made our Settlement, that street
has become safe and respectable, O
Socrates, and a better class live
there"
Have the rents risen also Eu-
praxsillies?"
1T is true that the rents have
risen, so that the purchase price of
the land next TO us has more than
doubled"
Then it seems. EupraXsillies, that
it was not for the Lords of Heaven
you have been working. but for the
Lords of earth-not the good Lord
but the land lord. Is that of any
use?s
You say truth, Socrates, but it
is of use-for am the land lord:
and it is natural that every improve
ment in the condition Of the earth
should benefit the owners of the
earth"
do such improvements benefit
also those who, on account of them,
pay more for the use OF the earth?'
1T certainly seems that the benefit
to the one class must be at the eX-
pense of the other, Socrates"
Then it seems to me, o Euprax-
sillies, that yours is Society for
Improving Conditions and Increasing
the Number of the Poor. From
