Preservation OF Stone.

Under the title of liquid stone" a
firm Of Abchurch lane, London. Eng
land, has produced fluid material,
the use of which would revolutionize
the appearance of the city. There is
no trouble in its application. The
surface of the building is first rubbed
down to remove the dust. Two coats
OF the liquid stone" are then laid on,
after which it will be almost impossi.
Bile to detect the cement from the ma.
tural stone.
The whole process can be worked
from ladders, no special scaffolding
being required, and consequently
much inconvenience and expense are
saved. The composition is, moreover,
preservative, and will retain its ap.
pearance as long as natural stone, and
probably longer than some varieties
which are employed Not only in Lon.
don, but in nearly all the provincial
towns, many opportunities are pre-
scented to utilize the new preparation.

An Accomplished DueIist.

There is something very fascinating
to one accustomed to the somewhat
even and prosaic tenor of the English
public life to gaze on man who has
seen such vicissitudes as the present
prime minister of France, NJ. Georges
Clemenceau. He was but boy dur
ing the Empire, when he was exiled;
he spent four years in America
which Is the reason why he speaks
English so perfectly. Then think of
what he has gone through since; to
every man who challenged him he
sent an acceptance. and dozen, per-
haps score, of times he has taken his
life In his hands and looked into the
barrel u revolver or at the sword of
an opponent who had for him all the
deadly hate of political animosity, and
especially In a country like France,
where religion and classes, as well as
fierce personal ambition, divide men
into such hostile and irreconcilable
camps. Neither giving nor asking
mercy, this terrific man--small and
compact of stature-with the great
round head. the great dark eyes. has
fought his way, now trampled down,
now rising again, and always feared
and kept back, as men of such fiercely
strong character are bound to be. 1t
Is only mediocrities In politics that he
world allows to get to the top without
obstruction.

Rapid and Good Work.

A gang of Great Northern railroad
engineers and platelayers one recent
Sunday gave remarkable display Of
rapid bridge-building, according to an
English newspaper. A bridge outside

railways line had to be widened. and
two enormous Orders were construct.

bridge, and as soon as the heavy traf.
flc of the Saturday night had been
dealt with gangs of men. working in
relays, pulled up the rails. demolished
the old bridge. and carted the debris
away. BY eight p. IN. both Orders
had been hoisted into position, and at
midnight the permanent way was in
order again.

Elephant and Engine Meet.

An elephant was crossing a railway
line when down ballast train In
motion tried to whistle him of the
line, says the Madras Pioneer. He
obeyed the whistle. but instantly was
on the line again and pushed the en-.
CINE back with all the strength he
could muster, causing the derailment
Of the engine and one Of the trucks.
The driver fell off and received some
injuries. and the mahout who had
apparently lost all hold over the ami
NAL, and had perhaps anticipated the
accident, jumped down, but was un-
hurt. The elephant was only bruised.

HER BREAD UPON THE WATERS.
Little Edna Did as Sunday School
Teacher Directed.

1t was summertime, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Girvan had established them.
selves as summer boarders on a large
farm, SO that their only child, Edna
might have long.cherished wish re.
allied.
Little six-yearold Edna had head
people talk of farms and farm life, and
she had teased her parents to take her
to the real country" where they have
COWS, horses. chickens. and where the
men dig potatoes. They arrived there
Saturday. and the following day Edna
was placed in the village Sunday
school,
She said nothing about 1t on her
return home. and her parents had no
reason for thinking that their little
girl mad learned practical lesson;
but on the following day when she
was given some bread crumbs TO feed
the chickens her face simply beamed
with delight, and few moments
later her mother, glancng out of the
window, saw her throw the bread
crumbs into little pool of water, and
the chickens had to stretch their
necks far out into the water to get the
feed. She meant to ask Edna why she
did 1t, but the incident passed out of
her mind.
A few days later Ednas father had
occasion to go to the city and when
he returned he brought home hand
some locket and chain for his little
girl, 1t being intended as a surprise
from her father and mother; but Edna.
while plainly showing she was de.
lighted at receiving the gift, showed
no surprise whatever, but accepted 1t
In a cool. matter-offact manner.
Both her father and mother noticed
this with surprise. and were keenly
disappointed Finally her mother said
to Edna: But isn't my little girl sur
prised to receive so beautiful gift
from papa and mammal No" little
Edna replied, the golden text of the
Sunday school lesson on Sunday was:

thou shalt find it after many days.
