Diplomatic Rewards,

The rewards for conspicuous service rendered by our ambassadors and min isters are in no sense commensurate with those received by the representa- tives of other governments. With the other great powers. if diplomat rem ders some notably valuable service, such as preventing destructive war or securing a treaty of vast political or commercial importance he may be given a better post, he promoted in rank, have bestowed upon him some coveted decoration or even be made peer of the realm. An American who performs similar service re- ceives official congratulations and grat- flying expressions of appreciation from his government. but there the reward ceases. But there remains, of course. the best incentive to superior exertion the satisfaction of doing ones duty. General Horace Porter in Century.

DIED.


 At 8 regu lar communication of Ionic Lodge, No. no, F. & A. M. it was ordered that the altar be draped in mourning, and that the following be entered upon the records of the lodge, copy be pub lished in The Press, and also forwarded to the relatives of our deceased brother, William H. Cooley.
 The great architect of the universe, in his infinite wisdom, has seen fit to call from our midst, our brother, William H. Cooley, one of the founders and charter members of our lodge. The mortal man is no more, but the fraternal spirit, the strong character, the diligent life, the generous heart, the loyal brother, the worthy citizen, influences all powerful and enduring, abide with us, and will ever brighten and strengthen our mem- ory of one who came into our lodge and community in the years and strength of young manhood.
 We tender our heartfelt sympathy to the wife and children of our deceased brother and pray God may comfort them and give them strength to bear the loss. Time will demonstrate the loss of this life to our lodge and community.
 We know his zeal, his devotion, his ever generous response to every interest of our lodge.
 We mourn the loss ofa worthy Mason, an exemplary citizen, noble brother.

Woman the rounher Sex

Although men. as they run, are per
 haps muscularly stronger than women
 their inability to- withstand the ele
 ments and their reliance upon clothes place them considerably below the so called weaker sex in the matter of un. clothed toughness. Women wear clothes for ornament. Men use them as pro tective covering. A group of men ma rooned ciotheless on, an island in the temperate zone might be expected to die of in month from drafts and colds and rheumatism The health of women similarly placed would suffer little from the enforced exposure. The fact appears to be, therefore. that in everything but muscle-in vitality, rug gedness. character. disposition. brain power, etc.-woman is the tougher, not the weaker. sex. Kansas City Journal.

ArtfuI LeoaI Tactics,


 Lord Chancellor Erskine, with all his arts and all his intrepidity in the face of judge or jury, was easily upset by anything which touched his amour propre. Vanity was his foible, and he had all the susceptibility which at taches to it. One artful attorney, knowing this, used to plant man in court in full view of Erskine to yawn hideously at his most eloquent appeals or to litter at his most tragic tones. Once when Garrow, the well known counsel, lost in thought, had fixed his eyes vacantly upon him Erskine was so put out that he stopped down and hissed in his ear, "Who the devil do you think can get on with that wet blanket of face of yours before him?" The same sensitiveness of criti- cism followed him into the house of commons.-Law Times.

St EInnn1e Fire

St. Elmo's fire is a name popularly given to luminous appearance some times seen on dark and stormy nights at the masthead and yardarms of ves- sells and also on land at the top of church spires and trees and even on horses names and about human heads. It is due to the presence of electricity, generally at elevated points, where it accumulates more rapidly than it can be discharged and is named after St. Elmo, the patron saint of sailors.

Mrs. Holt could be depended upon at almost any time to say the wrong thing with the best intentions in the world. Nobody minds what poor dear Fanny Holt says," her friends told each other when repeating her remarks. We know she means all right"

 Why, that's perfectly natural" said Mrs. Holt cheerily. ''Of course when people are tired out it goes straight to the weakest part of them. Mine is my stomach. and everybody knows yours is your head, poor deary'- Youths Companion.

The Cuckoo.

Where does the cuckoo lay it's eggs? What is its staple diet? What course does it take in it's autumn migration when it returns to it's African haunts? These are questions that await satis- factory answers. Until it was found that the cuckoo laid it's egg on the ground and subsequently carried it in its bill to a neighboring nest it was supposed that the bird fed largely on the eggs of smaller birds. This fallacy has been disproyed. Probably in the whole range of British birds there is no other that can boast such curious domestic traits as the cuckoo. It makes no nest. does not attend to incubation duties and rears no young and appar entity never sees the bird that is hatch ed from the egg that it surreptitiously places in the nest of some smaller bird.
