MliiersviIIe Graduate Suspected OF
Murder Set Free.

Cleveland Grice, Of Sharpsburg, Md,
the Millersville, Pa, Normal School stu
dent arrested on the charge of having
foully dealt with his baby, is free.
Judge Hassler discharged him Tuesday
morning after habeas corpus hearing,
and the crowd rewarded the Judge with
Kisses
Although testimony was produced by a
dozen or more Witnesses showing circum-
stances of a most suspicious nature, and
although the present Whereabouts of Mrs.
Grice and her baby are still unknown, the
essential facts in the case, requisite to
hold the prisoner for trial, were lacking,
and under the provision of the Constitu-
ton of the United States he could not be
denied his liberty.
Judge Hassler paid no attention-to the
Kissing. Normal School students present
gave Grice an ovation in the courtroom.
He refused to discuss the Whereabouts OF
his wife and child, nor would he speak
Of the future. He could not graduate
from the Normal School. as he had moi

 When you come to think of 1t, there's no escaping the conclusion that the baby crop Is worth more to this good country of ours than all the corn, wheat, cotton, beef and poultry prod, ucts put worth more in dol lars and cents. Untimely frOsts, the boil weevil, the wheat rust, the green aphis and all the other crop and ani- nal Scourges couldn't work so great a famine.
 And it is simply appalling to think what would happen to our national temperament if babies were abolished Our sense of humor would instantly @ glimmering. and smiles would become rarer than black hOllyhocks. The edu cation of parents in all the little arts of tenderness would go into instant decline, and we would speedily become O nation of Ossitied hearts and sOul faces.

 A laborer out of work came on the highroad determined to rob the first person he met. This was a man with a wagon. The laborer bade him halt and demanded his money.

 "There Is nothing left for me but robbery My family are dying of hun ger" the aggressor sad apologetically and proceeded to put the money in his pocket. but as he did 30 his mind changed.

DRIVING A NAIL.
More to 1t Than Simply Hammering t
 Into the Wood.

More 10 1t Than Simply Hammering H
 Into the Wood.
 One who thinks that the driving of a nail consists simply in getting the whole length of 1t out of sight has little conception of the real nature of the operation, says the Scientific Amer fcan. A nail driven by an expert will often hold several times as much as one Ill driven. while, too. 1t is often made to draw the parts into place. IT you have ever watched a mechanic driving nails you have doubtless noted that he rarely drives one at right angles with the face of the work. There is a reason for this. Suppose that he is mailing the "sheeting'' on the frame of a building and desires to draw the board down tightly against the one below 1t. He points the nall downward, and few well considered blows at the last produce the desired effect. If the board Is bent edgewise, so that much force Is required. probably he will start the nail in the upper edge, pointing very sharply downward. Again, two nails driven in board at different angles will hold 1t in place much more firmly than the same nails would If they were driven at right angles with the face of the board.
 Did you ever notice that in driving a nail in very hard wood one man will do 1t successfully, while another sue ceeds only in doubling the nall up be- fore the point has fairly entered the wood? The difference lies in the fact that the expert strikes the nail fairly and not too hard. "cOaxing" 1t In, while the other strikes too hard and with indireetion. It may be properly mentioned right here that in driving a nail into very hard wood 1t is usual ly profitable to dip the end in oil or grease. This will not sensibly inter- fere with the holding qualities of the nail, while it will be found to very materially facilitate its driving.

A Sacred Bath,

The number ot queer things the vari- ous peoples do in the name of religion are legion. but no sight Is more odd than that which may be witnessed on Badrinath. d peak of the Himalayan range in northwestern India. The peak looms 22.9O1 feet above the sea. and at an altitude of 10.400 feet there iS built a shrine of Vishnu overhang1ng a great tank fed by water from the sacred thermal spring. Annually about l5OOO pilgrims climb the weary path to the shrine. and every twelfth year. when the Kumbh Melah is celebrated. the number increases to at least 5000. Arriving at the shrine. the pilgrims adore the great idol. hberally fee the Brahman priests and bathe in the sa- cred tank. This latter performance is slightly startling. as men and women. absolutely nude. plunge into the water with cries of joy until the entire tank Is a seething mass of humanity. re- sembling very much the familiar ''wig- gletails" of an infrequently emptied rain barrel.-New York Times.

Why Liahtnins Rods Are Pointed.

Why Lightning Rods Are Pointed.
 The reason a lightning rod has sharp point is because a fine point of fers no resistance to the discharge of electricity and in order that a cloud may be emptied of it noiselessly and harmlessly. The degree of resistance is in proportion to the surface of the object. If the rod were surmounted by knob, for instance, the discharge would be violent. But many a light ming rod has received an electrical dis charge when the people in the build ing below were calmly unconscious of the face. Noncorrosive metal is used for the point of the rod, as corrosion makes resistance. The difference be- tween a point and a ball is shown in discharging a battery. The full charge from large battery would be re- ceived quietly on q metal point, while a moderate charge from small one would explode violently on ball. It is said that full charge may be passed harmlessly through persons body if received on A point of a needle, whereas the same charge re- ceiyed on a disc larger. with a ball or knob on the end, would mean instant death.
