USE DEW AS DRINKING WATER
Method of Collecting for Use of Sol.
NJ diers Of British Garrison at

Hitherto dew has been used

raltar, where water Is very scarce,
now collects dew by the following
very simple method: A large pit Is
dug in the earth and covered with dry
wood o. straw, which In turn Is Gov
cred either with earth or with sheet
iron. t$ p
The straw or wood serves as a heat
insulator and effectually prevents the
conduction Of heat from the ground
to the layer of earth or the sheet iron
above. Consequently this earth or
iron cools after sunset much more
rapidly than the ground, SO that its
temperature soon falls below the dew
point Of the surrounding air.
Hence dew is formed upon the iron
or the layer of earth in very large
quantities. The water thus obtained

Information in Prayer.

Princeton graduates love to tell a
story Of good old DR.. McCosh, who
was president many years. DR.. Nc
Gosh was very absent-minded, and in
making the announcements at eight,
o'clock chapel in the morning, had to
have some reminder on a memo card
or he was almost sure to forget. Ono
day the French professor asked him,
Just as he was mounting the platform
in chapel, to announce to the juniors
that their class would meet at nine
that morning instead of ten. The pres
1dent nodded, but completely forgot
about it, not finding any reminder:
among his written announcements.
"A long prayer always brought cha-
pei to a close in those days, and Dr.
McCosh, on this day, was almost
through the prayer, when he suddenly
remembered the request. Undeterred,
however, he slipped in an additional;
phrase just before the Amen" and
the chapel faithfuls were edited to
hear, among other petitions, "And, o
God, cause the juniors to remember
that their French class will be at nine
this morning, instead OF ten"
The juniors remembered.

Matches.

Three millions of matches, accord
ing to the statisticians, are turned
out every minute of the "a hours Of
the day by the civilized natives of the
earth. This is a consumption Of sew
u billions a year, and it is said chat
half of them are burned in the United
States. Matches are cheap end very
insignificant compared with sore 9th.

tuners complain that they are begin
ming to find the raw material for their
product scarce. Only the choicest por-
lions of the best trees are suitable.
Sapwood, knotty or cross grained TIM
Der will not do. Instead Of being a
b%y-product of other articles Of manu-
facture, the little match is turned out
at hundreds of mills over the country
where the by-products are bulky OBJ
jects like doors. sash, shingles, siding,
posts and cord wood. The pines, lin.
den, aspen, white cedar, poplar, birch
and willow are the most suitable

Science Not Sentiment.

V~egetarians are sentimentalists, but
sentiment and science are far apart as
poles. Science is not even logic, be-
cause science is facts, and facts and
bullets prove themselves and are
their own logic. Vegetarians will say,
Look at the robust peasants Of
Europe. Behold, how little meat they
cat" But when these bulky peas
ants, Norwegians and Swedes, for IN
stance, bring their vegetarian habits
of life with them to New York, Lon

like ice cream in hungry boys. These
big. fine Swedes were protected at
home by isolation, fresh air and slow,
lifelong habits.-New York Press.

TRUE MEANING OF "MoRTIFY"
Would Seem That Users Of tho Word
Have Little Conception Of Ito
Real Significance.

The strange acquired meanings Of
many words were being discussed the
other night, when one of the group
said: II wonder how "mortify" has
come to mean something similar to
humiliate. The word shows on its
face that it was derived from the two
rootwords which mean death and to
make yet except in the sense Of gan
creme having set In it has no connec-
ton with death in our modern vo-
cabulary."
The interest generated by the re-
mark caused the word to be looked up
in the dictionary and 1t was found
originally to have been used in rela.
ton to making dead" the carnal af.
fections and bodily appetites or world.
ly desires, through religious or other
discipline.
A number Of early English writer's
were quoted showing q use of the
word entirely different from our al
present.
Harte writes: with fasting NOR
tilted, worn out with tears"
Prior furnishes this: "Mortify thy
learned lust" and Addison writes
How often is the ambitious man NOR
titled with the very praises he re
ceives!" Evelyn contributes: "The
news of the fatal battle of Worcester
exceedingly mortified our expecta
.tions."
The writer's of these sentences
would have found it hard to under
stand the present-day conversational
list who speaks of having been. "mor
titled by the remark some one made
and would probably have guessed l
an emphatic sentence indeed thai
would have made to death" a human

Story of a Determined Western Wona'

Let Her Have Her Own
WillfuI Way. A.

We reached the banks Of the river
to find the stream running deep and
strong. Sitting on a log, with a bland
smile on his face, was a man about so
years old. He INDUCED in q broad
grin and a chuckle as we saluted, and
when asked the cause of his merri-
ment he replied:
tits about the old woman and the
hoss, gents"
do you mean your wtfe!'
II do. We was going over. to
Bucksville, both on the same boss and
she was mad and out of sorts. When
we got here and found the river bank
full I seq to her:
NANCY, the old boss kin never
take us across. Let's go up to Car
ter's ford
"'Carter's ford be hanged!' seq she.
"'But 1 dassen't try 1t here
"'Then you kin stay behind and
I'll go alone

continued the old man, "but she was
,stiff-necked in her ways. The more
argued the more determined she was,
and bimeby I slid off the boss and
seq:
"'Well, Nancy Smith, I haven't got
any more breath to spare. If you are
bent and determined, then go ahead
ct never was more benter and de-
= termined in all my life.' SEE she, and
she gives the ole boss a cut n q
lick, and in he goes"
"And did she make the crossing3'
mo; told her she couldn't, and
she didn't"
you don't mean she vas swept
away?"
That's what she was. The boss
didn't keep his feet a mint. I stood
right here a-lookin' when he turned
over and over and 1 jes' got one
glimpse of the old woman as she
throwed up her arms and went out OF
sight"
"And you are smiling about it," we
exclaimed in great indignation.
II can't help it," replied the old
man. "She was determined to hev her
way, If it killed her. I told her and
told her, but She"
He stopped short and his smile ia
ded away. We heard a movement in
the bushes close at hand, and as we
turned the old man started off at his
best speed. Five seconds later a bare.
headed, barefooted woman, with he1
wet garments clinging to her like a
plaster mold, sprang out Of the scrut
with a club in her hand and started
after him, and as they disappeared
over a ridge half a mile away she was
almost a enough to hit him on the
back.-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
