Il Was a Dream.

When a certain divine was a young
er man and chaplain at the University
of Pennsylvania, like other ministers
who filed that position. he was much
troubled over the apparent lack Of at
fention from the students during the
morning exercises in the chapel. The
exercises hardly ever continued for
more than fifteen minutes. Some of
the students were in the habit Of tax
ing their books into the chapel and
studying there during the services to
make up for their tardiness Of the
night before in not preparing their les
sons. The young chaplain was DESTROYS
Of breaking up the habit. so one morn
ing preceding his customary five min
utes' address he spoke as follows:
Young gentlemen. last night l
dreamed l was here in the chapel ad
dressing you. And rs I spoke I saw
every eye fixed upon me. every man
attentive. while in all the chapel there
was not a book opened. and then ]
knew It was a dream"

SUGGESTED BY CHILDREN.
origin of the Arsand Lamp and the
Telescope.

Some of our most useful mechanical
appliances owe their existence to the
ingenuity of children in fashioning
their playthings. Argand, who in
vented a lamp with a wick fitted into
a hollow cylinder, was one day busy
in his workroom. Sitting before the
burning lamp, his little brother was
amusing himself by placing a bottom
less oil flask over different articles.
Suddenly he placed it upon the flame
of the lamp, which instantly shot up
the long circular neck of the flask
with increased brilliancy Argand did
not allow such suggestive occur
renee to escape him. The idea of the
lamp chimney almost Immediately
came into his head, and in Il short
time his invention was perfected.
The telescope owes its origin to
similar occurrence. The children of
a Dutch spectacle maker happened to
be playing one day with some of their
fathers glasses in front of the shop
door Placing two of the glasses to-
gether, they peeped through them and
were exceedingly astonished to see
the weathercock of the neighbOring
steeple brought within a short distance
Of their eyes. They We're naturally
puzzled and called their father to see
the strange sight. When the spec
tacle maker looked through the glasses
he was no less surprised than the
children had been. He went indoors
II. L. -
the idea occurred to him that he might
construct curious new toy which
would give people a good deal of
amusement. Not long after the tele-
scope was an ACCOMPLISHED fact.

Foxy Chinese Diplomacy.

The Chinese have a favorite way of
trying to crush those they don't like
with a weight of contemptuous cpl
thets All foreigners TO them. as we
know. are foreign devils" The en-
peror of China in prOclaiming the
Japanese war applied to the enemy the
name of "wOien." or vassals. This
was meant to be an insult. and so the
Japanese took it. for the name they
claim is "Ji-kwo," or people of the
Land of the Rising Sun. Other for
eign nations. however. have also had
cause to complain on this score. FIRE.
Guently in treaties the crafty Chinese
diplomats would insert some term that
was afterward found to be anything
but complimentary to the other par
ties. Foreign ambassadors, therefore,
became more careful and employed ex
perienced interpreters to carefully
search all documents composed in the
Chinese language for any opprobrious
terms. When the cunning Chinese no.
ticed this they FASTENED to conciliate
the foreigners by applying to them the
most flattering terms of endearment,
and hence England Is today by the
Chinese called "Ying-KwO." the -four

where the laws live: Italy. "T-Kwo."

THE SUBTLE FEMALE.
How She Wheedes and BulIies the
Poor Man Creature.


As woman gradually impressed upon
man the futility of strutting around in

the decorations of primitive man were
intended to fascinate feminine eyes.
but woman presently began TO make
ii clear that she was not hunting for
"a fine, SNOWY article" but something
solid and plain and useful. warranted
to stand wear and tear AS for the or

sent the family herself in that line.
In fact. when one reflects how man

THE RIVER NILE.
Ancient Greeks and the Process OF
Sterilizing Water.

The ancient Greeks already recon-
meIded the use Of sterilized water.
Rufus of Ephesus. in the first century
of this era, taught that "all water
from rivers and ponds is bad except
that from the Nile Water from rivers
which flow through unhealthy soil.
stagnant water and that which flows
near public bathing places is harmful.
The best water is that which has been
boiled in baked earthenware vessels,
cooled and then heated a second time
before drinking"
This hygienic prescription was in
tended both for healthy and sick peO-
pie, since it was applied to the armies:
During marches and in camps pits
must be dug successfully from the
highest point to the lowest level of the
place. These holes should be lined
with clay such as is used for making
pottery and the water should be made
to percolate through it, The water will
leave all its impurities in these pits
1t may be inquired how the ancient
Greeks. knowing the processes of ster-
ilization and filtration of water which
they applied to that of the most limpid
rivers. should have drunk without pre-
cautions the water of the Nile which
our microscopes allow us to declare
sound" but which is in appearance
the most worthy of suspicion Of ali
and is so muddy. so yellow. that it re-
sembles wine.-Gazette DIES Faux.
