Pushinn and PULLING.

It has been wisely observed tnat
most operations can be more efficiently
performed by drawing them along
through their proper course than by at
tempting to push and jam them
through, just as 1t is much easier to
pull rope than it is to push 1t. There
are probably not many persons VINO
have tried to push a rope. but very
many have attempted things almost as
perverse. In many manufacturing es'
Establishments, for example, there may
be seen numerous examples OF men
wasting a large part of their energy
endeavoring to move heavy pieces OF
work upon small trucks, pushing and
laboring in the exertion of effort,
small fraction Of which goes to cause
the actual srogression. Even when
such an effective aid to transport as an
Industrial railway is installed 1t Is Of
ten used at less than its proper efti-
cheney because there is too much push
ing and not enough pulling.-Cassier's
Magazine.

A Miracle Under Orders.

In "The Glory Of the Shia World"
translated from a Persian manuscript,
Is story that will interest Christian
Scientists
"Nadir, builder Of the golden porch
of Nadir,' in the sacred city Of Mesh
ed. was world conqueror and lord
of perception. albeit cruel. OF his
power Of perception they relate that
one day when he entered the sacred
shrine he saw a blind man invoking
the aid Of the imam. and upon inquiry
he learned that he had been there for
several months. The great monarch
asked him why his faith was so weak
that his sight had not been restored
and swore that II on his return he
found him still blind he would cut OF
his head. The wretched man prayed
SO fervently and fixed his mind so in
tently on the imam that within few
minutes his sight was restored"

towns of Idaho, Rathdrum is
not entirely satisfied with the
population report given out by
the census bureau. 1t must be
remembered, however that the
census credits the towns with
only the population in the incor-

people who live just outside
