SONS given for the high cost of living

considered.
The commission expressed the
opinion that the tariFshould be taken
out of the political arena and placed
on business basis as in Ger many.

HIS HEART WENT OUT TO THE WOMEN

A genial Joshua, who runs chick

down in the Salem county section of
Jersey, came to this city the other
day to buy pair of winter boots and
box ofaxle grease. After rambling
around in the ferry zone for while
he bravely cut loose and started up
Market street.
He had not proceeded far when he
saw an employee of the Philadelphia
Electric Company lift the lid of a
manhole and crawl into the conduit
chamber. Evidently the sight filed
Joshua with much thought, for he
gazed earnestly toward the manhoIe
for minute or two and then went
over to cop who was holding fast
to sunny spot on the corner.

Joshua, addressing the police person,

LAUGHING GAS
COMETS TAIL MAY CAUSE PEOPLE TO

The announcement in recent

through the spectroscope it has been
determined that there is probably
su@cient nitrogen in the tail Of Hal
Icy's comet to combine with oxygen
IN the earth's atmosphere to form
laughing gas" should be greeted
with a mournful and melancholy
eoOatenance. For, if true, it means
thata all the world will die of laughter
when the long tail of the comet
sreeps over US.
Laughing gas is an oxide Of nitro
gen which has indeed a peculiar eff
feet on human beings. First gen.
tie smile prevades the face, and then
laughter breaks out spontaneously,
finally ending in mysteries. This is
Ehe usual effect. However some in
dIviduals perform just the opposite,
their eyes become set, and death fol-
lows ifrelief is not afforded Still 9TH
CTS become talkative and prone to
relate their family history then if,
she frey wanderer does give US a
passing whisk with his tail, there is
no assurance of what, crimes
may be laid bare and what truths
WILL out.
The diaphanous material of which
the tail of Halley's comet is compos-
cd. renders it not unlikely that in
Sfay we will cackle, merrily at every
Joke which is cracked, or grow hys-
terical at the sight of every thing
even slightly unusual.

CHURCH GOING.

The mere fact of Church-going is
a service rendered, not only God, but
also to your neighbor. Your place
is filed; your link in the chain holds
the chain together. What you make
real by your reality becomes easier
for Others to realize. 1t is good
thing to understand this and utilize
it deliberately by so doing, it is
possible to lift much of the routine
of religious observance, so far as ones
own purpose in it is concerned, to a
paine far above the obligations of
habit into an habitual sacrifice. To
fail in them will then be to miss a
happy chance of giving that to little
best which every single Churchman
can contribute to the common stock ;
to fulfil them will bring with it the
opportunity of learning that worship
is an obligation, and that the true
worshipper brings double offering,
giving what he can both to God and
to his fellowmen.
