Protoplasm is a living, transparent,
viscid substance of proteid character,
containing 30 per cent of water. 1t
coagulates with heat at 100 degrees
and dies when the body is raised to
this temperature. AS only dead proto-
plasm can be subjected to chemical
analysis it is difficult to determine its
chemical nature. Its nearest allies are
to be found in the albuminoids, OF
which the white of an egg is Il good

denoe could be secured to show he had been
hurt in any other way also.

announced advance in the rates
charged by the company Colonel r. C.
Clowry, president Of the Western Union
Telegraph company, tonight said;
There has been nothing like a general
Increase in rates by the telegraph COM
panies. A number of special and unproht-
able rates have been increased to the stand
ard schedule rates. These special rates
were discriminative against a large num-
Der OF places and were originally estab-
lished by competing companies, which by
reason thereof went into bankruptcy. Most
Of the rates increased were Is cents for
ten-Word rates. 1t costs al least 80 cents
each to handle such messages for short
distances at the present time The increase
In the cost Of telegraph materials has been
from Is to 100 per cent within the last few
years In addition 10 the recent horizontal
Increase in the salaries Of all managers
and operators, there has been for years
past a constant and large increase In the
wages OF all classes OF individual employees
from month 70 month. There Is no increase
In the extra word rate, consequently the
newspaper rates remain the same.

ARMENIANs I'M AFeHANIsTAN
Visit of Ameer May Bring to LdEht
Manuscripts of EARLY
Church.

CALCUTTA, March S1.--(speeial.)-It is
Just possible that very interesting dis
covery OF ancient manuscripts will be made
in the near future.
As one result of the visit OF the ameer
to Calcutta attention has been directed to
a small community of Christians from Ar
menia who have been living In Cabul for
very many generations. These people in
the time of the late Ameer Abdur Rahman
had dwindled down TO ten families. They
were for reasons unknown banished to
Peshawar, and brought down with them a
collection of manuscripts said to be OF
immense value and antiquity. Indeed, they
are 50 old that none of the families pos
sessing them are able to read them. 1t ap-
pears that the priesthood had died out
amongst these Christians In Cabul and the
community was too remote TO be able to
get priests from elsewhere. Hence the
neglect of the sacred writings. In the
traditional history of Armenia reference is
made to an afghan" country where the
early Christians found a refuge from per-
secution. It has hitherto been thought
that by afghan" country was meant the
mountainous regions in the vicinity of
Georgia.

Notices and Photographs which

II Is quite a fad among oficials and clerks
In the city hall to have printed sentiments
hung over desks or within close range OF
vision. These sentiments are from two
words TO a paragraph and cover a wide
variety of subjects. In the place of senu-
ments some prefer photographs or other
objects Of the kind. Mayor Dahlman has
a penchant for photographs. over his desk

heves this sentiment Of Ella Wheeler VIII
cox one of the best she has yet read:
So many gods. so many creeds;
So many ways that wind and windi
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.
Miss Gerardet of the city clerks ofioe
believes she has found the gulSepost to
happiness in her placard. which reads,
Keep Smiling"
What II the roof does leak, OF the COW
steps on your foot just keep smiling"
says Miss g. Even IL 1t does rain and
the stove smokes, just keep smiling" she
also says.
Mrs. Tovv1e for Kindness.
Kindness is the little sentiment seen
over the desk of Mrs. Towle of the Juvenile
court department. Mrs. Towle, in her work
as probation officer. comes into contact
with many children. She hears many stories
that make her heart ache and sees many
homes that are not it for the occupancy
Of children. She believes in being kind to
the children, although discipline must be
exercised as we'll She knows that the
children themselves are but creatures Of
circumstances and usually are susceptible
to kindness.
Superintendent Davidson OF the public
schools has these lines of James Russell
Lowell over his desk
The longer on this earth we live
And weigh the various qualities of men
The more we feel the high, stern-featured
beauty
Of plain devotedness to duty.
Steadfast and still, nor paid with mortal
praise.
But finding amplest recompense
For life's ungaTlanded expense
In work done squarely and unwasted days.
Mr. Davidson believes there is a splendid
lesson in these lines.
Mrs. Jewett, clerk Of the Park board,
has Talk Happiness over her desk.
Maynard Wilson of the mayors office
has within easy reach and sight list Of
the presidents Of the United States from
Washington to Roosevelt. This list gives
ages terms OF ONCE and other presidential
data. and It is one of Mr.. Wilson's ambi-
tions to become familiar with the presi-
dents Of these United States.
