Among the famous bells Of Dews-
bury. Yorkshire, England, is one
known as BLACK Tom of Soothill,' y
which was presented to the church in
expiation of a murder. BLACK Tom
is always rung on Christmas eve. Its
solemn tolling as 1t strikes the first
tap at exactly midnight is known all
over Yorkshire as the devils knell,'
1t being the notion that when Christ
was born the devil died. - London

The Price He Had to Pay For Export
SURGICAL Treatment.

The Price He Had to Pay For Export
Surgical Treatment.
The famous surgeon Velpeau was
visited one day at his house during
the consultation hour by a marquis
renowned for his closeness. Velpeau
informed the marquis that an opera
ton was urgent and that the fee would
amount to 1000 francs. At this the
marquis made a wry face and left. A
fortnight later DR.. Velpeau, while max
ing his rounds in the Hopital de Ia
Charlie, had his attention attracted
by a face that seemed familiar to him.
In answer to his inquiry it was stated
that the patient was a footman OF q
nobleman in the Faubourg st. Ger
main. The surgeon found that his case
resembled in every particular the
somewhat unusual one for which the
marquis had consulted him fortnight
previously. He refrained, however,
from making any comments. Three
weeks after the operation, when the
patient was about to be discharged,
DR.. velpeau called him aside and ex-
claimed: Monsieur, 1 am extremely
f1attered and pleased to have been able
to cure you. There is, however, a
small formality with which you will
have to comply before / can sign your
exeat-that is, you will have to sign
a check for 10000 francs in behalf Of
the public charity bureau Of your met
ropolitan district" The patients face
became livid. you can do what you
like about it," continued the doctor,
'but If you refuse all Paris will know
tomorrow that the Marquis de D.
adopted the disguise of a footman in
order to secure free treatment at this
hospital and to usurp the place which
belongs by right to a pauper." OF
course the marquis paid.-Argonaut.

The Storm Nose at Sea.

The picturesque name of storm nose
(Gewitternase) is given in Germany to
the wave of high barometric pressure
which often precedes a storm or a
heavy squall. The barometer rises sud
denly and then falls more gradually.
1t Is believed that this phenomenon is
responsible for sudden changes in the
level of the sea. Observations on the
seas surrounding Denmark have led to
the conclusion that the change of level
thus produced sometimes amounts to
no less than three feet-Youth's Com.

method in the modern Sunday school
for there some attempt is made at clas-
sification. There is better method in
the modern university extension course
for there the instruction is not exter-
nalized-the instructors interest and
the students interest are known to be
the same, and the student assumes an
active attitude toward work. There is
better method in the modern business
college, for there the work is not who'll
ly detached-there is some genuine and
prolonged effort. A method of in
struction which disregards the activ-
ity and functional phases of the con-
seriousness of the student, which makes
no attempt at classification. which
largely leaves out of account specific
students needs, and which at best is
operative but one week in fifty-two. is
scarcely to be commended from the

Concerted Movement Aid.
But IL there were a concerted move
ment there could be some improvement
along the line of instruction. II the
number of professional instructors
were reduced one-half, there would be
a great gain. The average sized and
smaller institutes do not need more
than one professional instructor. Such
a change would eliminate the unwhole-
some competitive element and the
teaching function could have some OPP
portunity. The instructor could cir
culate outlines in advance, based some
what upon local conditions and could
maintain some degree of continuity il,

institute could provide for some real

some instances in making the work

CIVILIZATION.

The latest advance in the civiliza-
ton of the United States has taken
the form of the authorities at Wash
ington allowing 10 consumptive chill
dren to be inoculated with the germs
of human and bovine tuberculosis,
for the purpose of discovering wheth-
er the original afliction was derived
from human or bovine sources. The
experiment was watched over by a
committee Of the international Tu-
berculosis Congress. This shocking
incident shows that it is high time
some limit was put upon the activi-
ties OF these scientific inquiries. The
case against vivisection and expert
mental investigation on animals and
human beings is that it brutalizes
every person who comes in contact
with its methods. Vivisection once
begun and once permitted viii never
stop until it reaches its logical con-
clusion Of wholesale experiment on
human beings When that point is
reached there will be a public outery,
and the vivisector will be swept into
oblivion. But we fear that there will

keep on for few years paying the
approximate cost of maintaining
their waterfront thoroughfares, at
$500 per annum, rather than assume
the ruinous burden of a million
dollar seawall, during the building Of
which, through long years, they
would have to keep them up, as well
as bear the added cost OF the wall;
for the very just reason that the city
Of Astoria is too small municipality
to enter into such a huge engage

the enormous concerns Of the labor

When il is remembered that,
numerically speaking, the labor in

better it will be for the uplift Of la
