John Stewart Kennedy of New York,
died the other day and then by reason
of the fact that he left thirty million
dollars to educational, religious and
charitable organizations the world sat
up and took notice that such man had
lived. Six institutions received the
snug sum of two and quarter million
dollars each, three million and half
each, four three-quarters of million
each, nine one hundred thousand dol
lars each, ten fifty thousand each,
twenty-six sums running from ten to
thirty thousand dollars and one FIVE
thousand dollars. Beside all this he
left fifteen million to his widow and a
like sum to relatives, friends and per-
sons who had been in his employ for a
term of years. What do you suppose

IN a recent speech Gov. Hughes of

every resident can do something

sure that his town was the last place
made, and was made of the leavings.
How much better it would be for the
grumbler to examine his home and
his place of business to see IL he is
not contributing his bit to make his
home town look cheap and untidy.
If every grumbler should take time
to clean up his own surroundings
the town would look better at once
and the new interest in it that would
be bred of a conscious effort to i'm

make a grumbler a better neighbo-

How She Missed Him.

A poor woman who kept small
shop In a northern village and who
was troubled with husband who
could scarcely be considered a credit
to the family one day found herself a
widow through the sudden demise Of
her spouse. A lady who frequently
made small purchases at the shop
called to see her and offer her SYM
pathy, though well knowing that the
mans death must in a certain sense
come as relief, as the wife had often
suffered from his violence. She was
not, however, quite prepared for the
stoical way In which the wife took her
bereavement

cuiiar Substance.
One of the most apt ILLUSTRATORS
ever made by Lord Kelvin was his
likening the luminiferous ether to q
mass of shoemakers' wax. What Lord
Kelvin said of shoemakers' wax may
be tested by any boy in manner that
will astonish his playmates. First LEI
it be said that the ether penetrates all
space 1t is as rigid as steel and YET
SO flexible that 1t does not retard the
passage Of planets through space In
the least. 1t Is an invisible substance
which travels in waves through all
things. Now, to illustrate the nature
of such a paradoxical material Lord
Kelvin searched everywhere and at
last concluded that shoemakers' wax
represented it best. He made tests,
and this Is what he found:
He melted some wax in common
glass tumbler. After it had hardened
he tried to thrust lead pencil through
1t. 1t would not go. Then he placed
coin on the surface of the wax and
left 1t there for several days. When
he again visited 1t the coin had sunk
to the bottom of the glass. The wax
had closed over it, and by lifting up
the glass and looking through the bot.
tom he could see the coin lying there.
the coin would have gone on sinking
until 1t reached the bottom. This proved
that the wax would conform only to
very slow movements. If he had tried
TO push it too fast 1t would have re-
sisted him.
