A beef animal brings you nothing

Telephone Perlls Avoided.

Realizing more clearly than most of
us do the dangers to health that lurk
In the telephone transmitter that is
used by many people, the New York
Medical Record treats with much seri-
BUSINESS the recent discovery. or,
rather, the recent wide publication, of
the fact that telephone cOmmunica-
tion can be conducted with the trans
mitter held against the breast instead
OF in front of the lips.
archaeological cultures from public
telephones. 1t says. have proved that
the danger Of infection is considerable.
and protection from 1t by the use of
an individual receiver and transmitter
for each person. and by sterilizing
sprays has proved impracticable in
various ways. Apart from the peril of
disease, the familiar method of using
the telephone has it's offensive features,
now only tolerated because Of sup
posed necessity.
Costumed for Arctic exploration,
utilization of the new method would
probably approach the impossible. but
with ordinary garb and over compara-
lively short wires, the loss of vibra-
tory power is not fatal to satisfactory
efficiency, as thousands have demon
strated for themselves since We printed
that interesting dispatch from st.
Louis.
The facts then stated, while they
turned out not to be exactly new. were,
as the Record says, news to the vast
majority of telephone users. For TAX
ing the safer way, 1t adds, "a desk
telephone is necessary. as one cannot
conveniently stand on stool to press
his chest against a wall transmitter,
but the hygienic utility Of the chest
method of telephony Is so obvious that
the telephone companies. most (or, We
might say, some) Of which are pro-
gressive, will doubtless devise new
form of transmitter which can be used
in this way. In the meantime We
would strongly recommend to all users
Of the telephone, whose apparatus
lends itself to 1t, to employ the chest
method. 1t is a real advance-it is
easy, 1t Is efficient, and it is hygienic."
That is good advice from an authori-
tative source.

"SAGE OF YELM" IN A NEW ROLE.
IELM, Jan. &c, '0S.


ED. STANDARD:
l have just read an article from one
of the divines, in which he claims that
some men are foreordained by God for
riches and others for poverty, the same
as preachers are called to preach, etc.
This makes ME tired Is it possible
In this age of enlightenment that any
one could be so stupid as to believe
such rot? This man has about as
the devil, and that isn't much I'M
! agine a God sitting on the rim of a
cloud and picking out this man for a
preacher and that man for a school
teacher; one man for a lawyer and
another for a politician; one for wealth
and another for poverty; one to look
after the interests of the people, la
Baer, and Rockefeller and another to
delve in the mines at one plunk per
day. Bah!
Is man not free moral agent to
work out his own destiny? If not,
why does he strive early and late to
acquire knowledge and better his con-
ditiOn? Is man not the author of all
the creeds and dogmas that has cursed
the earth for centuries? Does he not
create his own heaven and his own
hell, his own God and devil, in his
imagination? If he don't, who does?
The Bible Is undoubtedly the work Of
man and the doctrines enunciated
therein have been translated, and re-
translated and revised, rerevised time
and again by man. How do We know
those translators and revisers were
honest and not paid to impose on the
credulity Of the people. for the sake of
power? Did this God, he speaks Of
so knowingly. direct all these different
translations and revisions? Did he
dictate the Mohammedan Koran and
the Mormon Bible? Does he instigate
the trust magnate, the coal baron, the
lumber baron, the venal senator to
take advantage of his fellow man and
rob the masses of the wealth they
create by their labor? Does he not
know that every violation of Natures
laws brings its own punishment? Let
him stick his finger in the fire as
test It's law of Nature that fire
will burn and yet we are asked to
believe that three men, Shadrac. Mes
sich and Abenego, were cast into a
furance seven times hotter than ever
before and not scorched. Credulity
may be a good thing at times but there
is such a thing as carrying it too far.
I think it can be easily proved that
all religions are the result, to a great
extent, of environment. If | had been
born in Turkey the chances are l
would have been a Mohammedan, in
stead of a freethinker. j. c. Cog.

is part of an old Bible, dating back
to the Moslem conquest of Egypt and
on its face Is so authentic as to dis
arm criticism.
The longlost fragment belongs to
the sixteenth chapter of the gospel of
St. Mark. and follows the fourteenth
verse. II relates to the story of
Christ's appearance. following his
death. to eleven of his apoSt ties In
Jerusalem.
With the new verse the Bible reads
thus: Mark. xvi. IA:
And they answered, saying that

belief is under the power OF Satan.

A Strange Underground Deposit.


From time to time Jumps of butter
are dug out of the Irish bogs, and
specimens of 1t may be seen in vari.
Gus museums. A chemical examina.
tiOn has recently been made of a
sample of such butter. which was
found four feet below the surface OF
a bog at Maghery, county Tyrone.
The original lump, which weighed
about twenty pounds, is probably some
centuries old, and it is suggested that
it had been put into peat water to pre-.
serve 1t or to give it a flavor and had
been forgotten. Yet so effectually had
the fat been preserved by the peat
water that 1t still retained many of
the chemical characteristics Of butter
fat, though its appearance had greatly
changed. The exterior was white and
granular. and the whole mass had
been converted during the passage OF
years into waxlike material.
