The terms worthy" and 'un-

a few benighted charitable societies.
Such societies as have appreciated

shortly Danish them as terms in the
vocabulary of charity work. If charity

clans should only have good patients,
probation officers only good boys,
ministers only perfect parishioners,
hospitals only patients with six let

pockets of the victim of an accident
to see if he had documentary proof Of
his being of good moral character

out whether the victim is ~"helpable,'
so does the real associated charities

AS the years multiply and the cna

are apt to turn often to questions as
to what part of our present being shall

whether we are doing anything to pre-
pare ourselves for that change, which
will be so infinitely greater than any
Transformation through which we have
hitherto passed, and w can but won

ences shall have their counterpart in
the world to come. And yet we can
not help feeling that some of our
earthly joys have Deer so pure, and

Artificial %Sapphires.

An interesting communication has
ben submitted to the Academy of Sci
ences regarding the recent discovery
of M. Paris, a young chemist, who has
succeeded in making artificial
sapphires. Hitherto efforts in this di-
rection have failed, for, while able to
produce rubies, no chemist has been
able to obtain the hue of the sapphire.
M. Paris, who has been carrying out
his experiments in the laboratory of
the Pasteur institute, has at last over
come the color difficulty. To the
molten mass of ingredients in the cru
chile he added oxide of cobalt, calx and
magnesia, and the effect was to give
to the artifcially manufactured stones
the intense blue of the true sapphire.
1t is very difficult to detect the arti-
fetal sapphire from the real stone

BRIDE HAD RING ON.

At a marriage which took place in
this city recently between two young
people who were prominent in society,
there was an incident which will give
the friends OF the bride AMI groom a
chance to twit than for the remainder
of their lives. The impressive ring
ceremony was used at the wedding,
and when it came time for the groom
to place the golden circle upon the
finger of the bride, the spectators felt
their hearts rise up in their throats as
the groom searched through his peck
cts in vain for the ring. When he f.
nally made a desperate grab for the
hand of the bride the assembled friends
t&bught that he was merely going
through with the ceremony and making
believe the part of giving her the ring.
Everyone was greatly relieved. how
ever, when the hand was brought into
sight and the missing ring was found
reposing there, shining and bright.
The pallor left the faces Of the bride
and the groom, and a laugh went
around among the guests. It came
out later that the young couple had
been practicing the ceremony before
the arrival of the guests and that the
young man had neglected to remove
the ring from his intended brides fin
ger, until, in the excitement of the
moment, he forgot where it was, and
the bride did also.

COULDN'T LET GO.

A certain Rock Island business man
paid a visit recently to a nearby town
ON the Mississippi, and when he was
ready to return home late in the after
noon resident volunteered to bring
him to the city In the villagers new
gasoline launch.
The start was made .auspiciously
but when about two miles up stream
the engine died" Various expedients
were resorted to to revive it, but it
declined to work Finally the Rock
Islander. who has had several years
experience with the automobile var
iety of gasoline motor. suggested that
the spark plug might be fouled. take
1t out and wipe it, he advised.
So the owner of the boat took the
spark plug out and, without discon-
Meeting the wire, attached, cleaned It
as best he could. Having completed
the operation, he decided to test the
spark before putting the plug back. So,
holding the plug in one hand, with the
other he turned the fywheel around
till the circuit was closed.
The instant the contact was made the
amateur machinist knew that the spark
was all right. With one hand on the

flywheel and the other holding the
plug, his body completed the circuit,
and a jump spark from four cells lit
orally electrified him. He let out a
yell and began9a series Of evolutions
that threatened to upset the boat,
shouting all theVwhile Cant let go!"
Cant let goi"
The Rock Islander, as quickly as he
could move, turned off the switch, and
the efforts of the other to let go were
instantly successful. But It happened
that when the circuit was broken the
hand holding the plug was extended
out over the water, and so the con-
trtvance, suddenly released, dropped
into the Mississippi, the weight jerk
ing it loose from the connecting wire.
OF course it was all off then. There
was no other plug on board, and the
voyagers were compelled to paddle
sadly back to the village, whence the
Rock Islander came by rail next day.

HINT TO LOCAL GROWERS.

An unsophisticated appearing coun-
tryman appeared at a wholesale drug
store at Dubuque the other day with
some ginseng roots for sale. Placed
on the scales they weighed five pounds.
The price agreed upon was SIS per
pound. Before the grower of the herb
departed a clerk was set to work to
break up the roots and prepare them
for the market. When the first one
was opened a stream Of No. 6 shot
trickled out. Other pieces were exam
ined and the same thing happened.
The farmer was called back. He pro-
fessed surprise and declared that the
shot must have been put IN the roots
by his children, but he got neither the
SIS nor the ginseng. which had been
made useless by the contact with the
lead.
A close examination showed that
the man had punctured the ends of
the roots and run the shot in while
the root was green. When It dried
the cut closed and no trace of the
opening could be seen. The clerk
counted 137 shot from one root.
