SIN REMOVED BY CONTRACT.

In the county of Hereford (England) was an old custom at funerals to hire poor people who were to take upon them all the sins of the party deceased. and were called sin-eaters. The manner was thus: When the corpse was brought out of the house and laid on the bier, a loaf of bread was delivered tO the sin eater over the corpse. as all so a maZar-bowl Ca gossips bowl of maple) full of beer which he was to drink up. and siXpense in money: in consequence whereof, he took upon him. ipso facto, all the sins of the Gcfunct. and freed him or her from walking after they were dead. In North Wales. the sin eaters are freOuently made use Of. but there instead of a bowl of beer, they have a bowl of milk This custom was by some people observed even in the strictest time of the Presbyterian vernment.-Kennctt, Parish Anti quities.

The Trade Winds

n The consistency Of trade winds is due
to the permanence of the conditions
which rule them, AS the heated air al
the equator ascends surface winds sci
in from north and south and, uniting
ascend in their turn and flow off in
opposite directions. AS the velocity OF
the earth's revolution from east tc
west is much greater at the equator
than at the poles. wind blowing alone
its surface to the equator is constantly
arriving at places which have higher
velocity than itself: hence it is retard.
ed and must lag behind. and under the
influence Of two opposing forces it Is
compelled to take an intermediate di-
rection. so that what was originally 8
north wind is detected and flows
southwest. while what started as q
south wind becomes northwest. From
the great service they have rendered
to navigation these reliable winds are
called trade winds

Spicy Business Talks.

Among the most popularSand valu-
able features now appearing in any
newspaper are the pungent business
sermons of Herbert Kaufman in The
Chicago Record-Herald. These breezy
articles, printed each Sunday in big,
distinctive type, have national rep
utation. They are eagerly read by
men, young and old, in every line of
business, and we believe they are do
ing more practical good than any
thing else of the kind now appear
ing in print.
Mr.. Kaufman's way of saying
things is all his own. Somebody; has
called his business talk 'inspired
common sense, seasoned with dyna-
mite" He hits the nail on the head
in every sentence often with a
sledgehammer. He knows life and
human nature, he knows every pit
fall that spells failure, he knows the
highway to success, and, best of all,
~
that starts men out on that highway
with beating hearts and shining eyes,
His ideas are a moral tonic. With all
his italics and whiplash metaphors,
his advice is always sound, sane, deep
rooted in the eternal principles of
right action.
1t would be a national blessing if
every young man in the land could
be led to read these magnetic articles
every Sunday. 1t would mean fewer
failures in life. The Sunday Record
Herald has many entertaining fea-
lures, but we know of none that can
be read with more real zest or more
lasting benefit than Mr.. Kaufman's
peppery morsels of live common
sense.

great friend of Pasteur. Moreover
they were near neighbors. one residing

day Of the sittings Of the academy. tho
two friends met at cab stand by the

answered the savant, and they both
entered the same cab. Arrived at their
journeys end, Duruy rendered a five
franc piece to the cabman, who, OF
course. had no change. Then said
Duruy: Keep the coin as a souvenir
of this memorable ride. You have
driven the greatest savant of the cen

WILL HAVE TO SHOW THE PUBLIC.

When the two cent fare bill was
up in the legislature during the ses-
sion of 1907, the railroad companies
presented a proposition to that body
through r. A. Wilkinson, l.. L.
Brown and Pierre Butler as their
representatives, offering as a COM
promise measure to which they would
submit without opposition, as to pas
senger rates, round trip tickets, five
hundred mile family mileage books
good on road of issuance, one
thousand mile mileage books good
on any good road, all at two cents
a mile fiat. They also offered to
continue all special and excursion
rates as before. In fact, the PROPOSE
ton of the roads differed from the
law as finally passed only in asking
three cents a mile for one way tick
cts. Now they restore the three
cent rate because a Judge has de-
cided that the two cent rate is "con-
fiscatory" and we will pay three
cents a mile for all travel in this
state. In view of the fact that the
roads were willing to submit to the
two cent rate on everything but one
way tickets and the evident large
increase in travel under the two
cent rate, the public will have to
be shown the evidence before they
will believe for a minute that the
latter rate is not profitable to the
roads on a fair basis of figuring
