POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Every good farmer has three or four
jobs laid up for rainy day.
The man who is old enough to
know better is usually old enough to
die.
People talk about different tenn
peraments," when they really mean
different tempers.
Some men are so mean they like to
take their wives advice so they can
tell them later how worthless it was
There Is this important difference
between friend and kin: Every time
you see the friend you don't have to
explain something.
How set old people are in their
ways, If an elderly person should be
asked to change his seat at the table
how it would rattle him.
People are not devoted to your inter
ests. You must have noticed it. There.
fore you should give your interests a
lot of intelligent attention. For if you
don't do it no one will.-Atchison

AN lMPL0Sl0N
q Is the Opposite of an Explosion and
Less Familiar.

Every one knows what an explosion
Is, but It's opposite, an implosicn, is
less familiar At great depths in the
sea the conditions are favorable for
Its production. At $500 fathoms the
pressure is. roughly speaking, two and
half tons to the square inch-that is
TO say, several times greater than the
pressure exerted by the steam upon
the piston of a powerful engine
An interesting experiment to illus
trate the enormous force of this deep
sea pressure was made on the Alba
ross, a government vessel engaged In
deep sea exploration.
A thick glass tube several inches In
length full of air was Theoretically
sealed at both ends. This was wrap
ped in flannel and placed in one of the
wide copper cylinders used to protect
deep sea thermometers when they are
sent down with the sounding appa-
ratus. The copper cylinder had holes
bored in it, so that the water had free
access inside round the glass. The
case was then sent down to depth
of 1000 fathoms and drawn up again.
1t was found that the cylinder was
bulged and bent inward, just as if 1t
had been crumbled inward by being
violently squeezed. The glass tube
itself, within its flannel wrapper, was
reduced to fine powder, almost like
snow. The glass tube, it would seem,
as 1t slowly descended, held out long
against the pressure but at last sud
denly gave way and was crushed by
the violence of the action to a fine
powder.
This process, exactly the reverse of
an explosion, is termed an implosion.

He QUOTED ST. PAUL.
A Bishops 5lunder and the Clever Way
IL Was Corrected


a certain bishop of one of the middle
states is described as a man who pos.
sessed great learning, but had not the
saving sense of humor In "Reminis.
cences of Bishops and Archbishops''
Bishop Potter gives an instance of the
absence of this quality.
1t happened on one occasion that an
episcopal election had come ND for re-
view in the house of bishops, and ques-
tons as to the bishop elect were being
asked and answered with considerable
freedom. A bishop who knew the bish-
op elect in very intimate way was on
his feet and was being catechised,
when bishop called out, What kind
of wife has our brother elect?"
Ills present wife began the bish-
op thus challenged, when the middle
state delegate sprang to his feet
zone moment" he cried. DO | I'M
derstand my brother Alright? Did he
say his present wife, and am to I'M
derstand that by that phrase he means
to imply that the brother elect has had
a previous wife? Because if so, / can
not vote for his confirmation. st. Paul
says, y bishop must he the husband of
one wife "
For a moment the house, in which
were a number of bishops who, having
been bereayed of their earthly part
ners, had supplied their places, sat still
in stunned silence, until a prelate,
whose sense of humor was as keen as
the last speakers was feeble rose in
his place and said, do l understand
that the bishop regards the language
of the apostle which he has just quoted
as mandatory"
"Certainly!" exclaimed the man who
had objected.
Very well, then. Mr.. Chairman"
said the interrogating bishop blandly,
"if the bishop regards the language of
St Paul, when he says that n bishop
must be the husband of one wife, as
mandatory | should like to ask him
what he proposes to do with the bishop
of''-naming Il bachelor bishop-"who
hasn't any,"
There was shout of laughter, amid
which the bishop who had objected
took his seat, flushed and angry. The
humor of his blunder was wholly I'M
perceived by him.

Bad, but Still Good.

A judge from one of the african
crown colonies. now home on leave, is
telling this story: 1t is the custom in
the local courts to administer to the
natives the form of oath which they
consider most binding. One day a
Christian colored gentleman, of whose
good faith the judge entertained some
doubts, was about to give evidence. At
his own request he was allowed to take
the oath of a Christian. Then the
Judge intimated that he must also be
sworn in the native fashion. The man
was vislbly disconnected. ooh, no,

When the people learn the possibil-
tiles of ten or twenty acres of Palouse
soil, the rural population will increase
with marvellous rapidity. Zen acres
properly cared for. with the growing
markets for the small produce of an
agricultural district, will give a fam
lily far better living than the salary
the head of the family now earns in
some city through the sale of his verv
life blood. Men who are now slaves
can purchase their freedom for the
price of few acres of Palouse dirt.

Three Layers of Atmosphere.

It appears that in the atmosphere
there are three distinct currents Of
air, the first lying at an elevation
Of from 900 to 1900 meters, the second
at from $500 to 1000 meters and the
upper one at from 5000 to 5000 me-
tiers above the surface of the earth.
These are to an extent separate cur
rents, flowing each with its own We
locity. At the bottom of each of the
layers the stratus clouds are formed,
and at the top of each of the layers
occur the cumulus clouds. This sug-
gests that the stratus originate at the
bottom of a moving current and the
cumulus at the top. 1t is probable,
then, that the stratus owe their origin
to the difference In velocity and tenn
perature of the two layers, while the
cumulus are formed by ascending cur
rents within the layer of air.

when the skating rink ordinance was

its most exacting provisions and do
business, but a week s trial has proven
that strict regard for those provisions
has been the making of the rink. 1t
has given the local institution a stand

increased its patronage among those
whose patronage it must value most.
