the school would have been unendur-
able If he had let the Strong boy con-
tinue to tyrannize over him."
Henry Appleton laughed.
"And where did our Stephen OBJ
tain his unusual prowess?" he asked.
He taught district school," his
wife answered. "And he had to whip
every one of the big boys before he
could establish his authority, and
some of them were as big as full
grown men. And after he had
whipped them all he had no more
trouble"
Henry Appleton laughed again.
"Our Stephen grows more and
more interesting" he said. "And
didn't the worthy principal find out
about this little scrap in the grover"
Eyes, Stephen told him"

stephen went to the principal
next day and told him he had vio-
lated one of the school rules and was
very sorry. is that the cause for

Stephen told him 1t was. What was
the name of the other boy?' the prin-
cipal asked. Stephen said he couldn't
tell him that. Then run along
said the principal, and don't forget
that you have two examinations to-
morrow And Stephen has heard no
more about the fight"
I'D like to know who told the
principal?" said Henry Appleton.
Stephen didn't know"
II wonder If 1t could have been
Jim strong?"
II hope it was" said his wife.
"Whosoever told was careful not to
throw any blame on Stephen"
Which, of course, is greatly to his
credit" said Henry Appleton. "And
hope it was Jim Strong"
Henry Appleton was busy man.
His work required close attention.
He was quite too busy to interest him
self in Stephen Bruce.
One night his wife told him that
Stephen wanted a favor.
Lets hear it," Appleton re-
sponded.
"He wants you to let him use the
upper room of the stable. He has
cleaned it out nicely. He wants to
have a school friend or two visit him
there"
He'll set fire to the place won't
he?"
''He seems careful"
"Very we'll. Tell him he can use
it,"
"I'll thank you for him, Henry"
So that was settled and then Henry
Appleton forgot all about it.
But one morning Judge Strong
came into his office.
"How are you, Appleton? I
dropped in on little personal busi-
ness"
You are always welcome, judge.

The judge hesitated.

Nothing wrong?"
''I don't know"
But 1 thought Jim was doing bet

"He has done better. hoped the
reform would be permanent"
"And what is the trouble?"
II wish 1 knew. He seems to be
completely under the influence OF
that hired boy of yours"
Henry Appleton looked around
quickly.

Wash Dark Dresses.

The girls who think that because a
wash frabic is dark 1t does not need
washing have something to learn
about cleanliness. Clothes should not
be washed simply because they look
soiled. The girl who bathes often and
dresses neatly has more in her favor
than the girl who wears expensive but
soiled clothes and is not careful about
her grooming.-Hartford Courant.

A SOtclmQn mas luVeuIeu new
life-saving apparatus which is capa-
BILE of throwing line half mile.
The international Office Of public
hygiene, recently established in Paris,
has for its principal object the gath
ering and distribution of information
concerning the more serious epidemic
diseases, particularly cholera, plague
and yellow fever.
The main lesson Of leprosy IS
somewhat philosophic. All Europe
for centuries was covered with it, but
the quick, strong, reactive blood Of
the white race strangled the germs of
death, so it is doubtfulif whites could
ever be pestered much again. Yellow
races, of slower, weaker blood, are
still slowly stewing with it.
Mon. Puiseux, the distinguished
selenographer of the Paris Observa-
tory, has reached the conclusion that
the curious rays or bands, extending
in straight lines away from many lu-
mar craters, such as the celebrated
Tycho, were produced by the deposi-
tion of volcanic ashes carried to great
distances by the winds that happened
to prevail when the eruption oc-
Cured. He accounts for the relative
narrowness of these bands, which are
never more than thirty miles broad,
although their length is sometimes
many hundred miles, by supposing
than only the central axis of the de-
posit has remained, the less dense
borders having been destroyed by the
denuding forces of the air, when the
moon had considerable atmosphere.

The idea of flow is generally asso-
ciated with the movement of liquids
and gases, and indeed the term fluid
is usually restricted to these two
states Of matter. Nevertheless it is
beginning to be understood that near
ly every substance is capable Of a
movement corresponding to the idea
of flow, and that such thing as
absolute rigidity does not exist.
The flow of solids occurs in such
mechanical operations as the drawing
of wire, the manufacture Of drawn
tubing, the production of various
shapes in the forming press and in
the spinning lathe, and all these are
well known to the engineer. To the
general observer It is apparent tnat
we have in the mountain glacier an
example of continuous flow of an ap-
parently GOLD mass, and that too
without rupture or disintegration.
