Got Useful Information.

There's no place like a pawnshop
for picking up useful hints" said the
improvident man. Every time | hap
pen into one CLEAN some item of gen
eral information that almost reconciles
me to the necessity for being there.
On my last visit saw another man
redeeming ostrich feathers. Our uncle
brought them out tightly sealed in a
glass jar.
what did you can them for?' the
man asked.
$50 they wouldn't SPOIL said the
pawnbroker. A glass Jar Is the safest
thing on earth to keep feathers in.
Moths and dust cannot get at them.
besides you can keep an eye on them
easily and any trouble that might have
been breeding when the feathers were
brought I'm can be discovered and
nipped I'm the bud.
"That hint consider worth going TO
a pawnshop for The way things look

have any ostrich plumes to take care
OF. but II we ever DO have any | shall
know what 10 do with them"

THIRSTY CANE" THE LATEST
Invention of Clever Frenchman That
Makes Man Temperate by
Drinking for Him.

A French inventor has hit upon a
peculiar device for combating the
drink evil. This is the thirsty cane"
Why do men drink? Because other
men insist on standing them drinks.
Many a big business deal is done over
a glass, nowhere more so than in
French cafes, and drummers would
lose half their custom If they refused
an appetizer offered by customer, to
whom they must of course stand an
other in return. The cane makes
them temperate by drinking for them.
Here Is the inventors description of
1t:
"The cane Is hollow. The handle is
pierced with several holes and rub
Der tube inside forms a syphon. The
air being expelled, the liquid is suck
ed up. The cane is emptied simply
by turning a valve and the liquid alb
sorbed can be poured into the street
on leaving the saloon"
The cane is warranted to hold from
six to ten aperitifs, according to size.
1t is simple to use, as the top need
only be put into the liquid at intervals
when the other man is not looking.
The hollow cane reminds one of the
yards of ale" of medieval England.
The yard was a glass measure three
feet long. At one end was a bulb
holding about half pint, at the 9TH
er was q trumpet-shaped mouthpiece,
and the two were connected by a thin
tube. The task. no easy one, was to
drink the vessel dry without spilling
a drop and at single draught.

LIVING IN SOCIETY.

To live on the top of pillar.
to withdraw into the desert or
to live in a community-all this
can be provisory. necessary to
men, but as definite forms it is
evident error and unreaSon. To
live a pure and holy life on Il
pillar or in community is i'm
possible, because the man is de-
prived of q half of life-com-
munion with the world. To live
always thus one must deceive
oneself. 1t is evident, indeed.
that just as it is impossible in
the current of an impure river
to separate a little circle of pure
water by some chemical process,
so it is impossible to live alone
or in a society with some as
saints in q whole world which
lives in violence for money.
Ground and cattle must be
bought or rented. Relations must
be entered into with the exterior,
the non-Christian world. We
cannot liberate ourselves from
it, and we ought not to, except
that in general we ought to alb
stain from those things which
we need not do. We only de-
ceive ourselves. The whole work
of discipline of Christ consists
in establishing the most Chris
tian relations with this world.

REAL ANARCHISTS.

The blending Of politics and
high finance, which would per-
haps better be called low steal
ing, is one of the most serious
signs of moral breakdown In the
nation, and this blending is re-
sponsible for nine-tenths of the
evils we face in America today.
The most dangerous anarchist in
America is the man who buys
laws, who buys and coerces leg
islators. He is the anarchist
the dangerous anarchist. because

Congress is again

Congress is again in session.
Champ Clark. democrat. of Missou-
ri. and one of the ablest men of that
party, has been chosen Speaker of
the House of Representatives The
reciprocity bill has been re-intro-
duced in the House. President Taft
sent message to congress again
strongly recommending its adoption.
Senator McCumber, who is again
leading the fight against the meas
ure, issues a statement in which he
gives some grounds for hope that
the bill may fail of passage through
the Senate. The Northwest is in
arms against Canadian American
reciprocity. There has just been
held in Grand Forks an anti-reci-
procity state convention, which was
largely attended. and at which
strong resolutions were passed
against the enacting of the propc-
sition into law.

The Good Dairv.cow.

The five points to be observed in
selecting good dairy-cow was the
subject of an address made by o. G..
Gregg at the st. Johns Farmers
Institute. They are as follows: /.
Large body, and especially of the
middle piece, indicating capacity
for eating and digesting lot of
food. 2. Thinly -heshed backbone,
and especially back of the shoulders.
This indicates that the food is not
made into flesh. 3. Large udder,
as it is here that the milk is made.
a. Large milk-wells. 1t is through
these that the blood returns to the
udder. If they are large, it indi-
Gates that a large amount of blood
passes through the udder. 5. Large,
clear eyes. This indicates good
nerves, and they drive the organs Of
digestion and milk-making. Mr..
Gregg said that a sixth point could
be added-the scales and the Bah.
cock test. Agricultural College Cir
cular.

NERVE OF RUBIN.
A Broken Collar eeas Didn't Stop che
Great ranor's SINGING.

The singers Of the old days were
not the delicate plants that our OPP
cratic idols of today are, as appears
from a story told of Rubin, the
tenor Of seventy or more years ago.
In those days European audiences
listened with rapt admiration to
Rubin, of whom it was said that,
though he could not himself act, his
voice acted for him. The intensity
Of expression he gave to his voice,
the judicious use Of the tremolo,
and the management of light and
shade are said to have produced a
thrilling effect. But his great feat
consisted in taking the 3 fat OF the
upper stave without preparation,
sustaining it for long time and
then letting it imperceptibly die
away
The adventurous are always on
the edge of danger. On one occa-
sion Rubini, after repeating this
vocal feat and being a second time
encored, found himself unable to
produce the expected note. Deter
mined not to fail, he gathered up
his vocal strength and made SUI
preme effort. The note came with
its wonted power, brilliancy and du-
ration, but at the cost Of a broken
collar bone.
A surgeon examined the singer
and found that the tension Of the
lungs had been too powerful for the
strength of the collar bone. Two
months rest would be required to
reunite the clavicle, and this the
singer declared to be impossible, as
he had only finished several days of
long engagement.
"Can l sing at all with broken
collar bone?" he asked.
eyes; it will make no difference
in your voice." answered the sur
geon. "But you must avoid lifting
heavy weights and any undue e1er-
tion-above all, you must leave the
B fat alone.''
Rubini continued to sing with a
broken clayicle until the termina
ton of his engagement.-New York

What Hs couldn't Do.

Two Irishmen employed in fac
tory in Maine were given a holiday
and went to enjoy themselves hunt
ing. After walking through the
woods for some time one Of them
happened to look up pine tree
and saw a large catamount.
"Holy smokes, Pat, look at him''
said Mike.
'Howld on, Mike, that's a Nal.
tese. I know where We can get 81
for him. I'll go up an chase him
down and you kctch him when he
comes down." said Patrick.
Pat did SO and, coming down the
tree, looked down and saw Mike and
the cat describing circles among the
leaves and dust. sWhat's the mat.
ter, Mike? Can't you hang on to
him?" he asked.
ooh, l can hang on to him, all
right, but I can't let go of him.
said Pat.-National Monthly.

WoNr Frs Of DUST.
les Kingdom Is as HoundIess as ths
Universe Itself.

Vast is the kingd om of dust. I'm
like terrestrial kin ydoms, it knows
no limits. No oceans mark its
boundaries; no mot ntains hem it in;
no parallels of latitude and longi-
tude define its boundless area, nor
can the farthermost stars in the in
fnitudes Of space serve other than
as twinkling outpo is of kingdom
as vast as the universe itself. And
what shall we say as to the compo-
nent subjects of this kingdom? In
number, form ard variety they
transcend all conceptions of the
human mird; in shape they COM
prise every possible form; in posi-
ton they include every substance
that is material. in condition they
are solid, liquid. vaporous and
gaseous.
They are with Us in the quiet Sc
clusion of our homes, in the busy
streets and marts of commerce, on
the sunlit orests OF the snowy Him
alayas, out on thu silent prairies,
mingled with the deserts shifting
sands, amid the ice of the frozen
arctic. They fall as ambassadors
from space on the LIQUIDS OF canvas,
the wings Of the flying ships, thou
sands of miles from land. They
come to US enshriled in the beau
tiful snow crystals and every drop
of rain carries with it from the up
per reaches of the atmosphere some
of these tiny subjects of the mighty
kingdom of dust.
Dust would not be possible were
it not for the fact that matter is
almost infinitely Invisible.
1t has been es mated that an
average puff of smoke from a Gig
arctic contains about four thousand
millions OF particles of dust.
A single grain OF indigo will give
color to a ton Of water. OF course
every drop of this water must con-

microscopic particles of indigo A
few grains of huorescein, SUBJ
stance derived from coal tar, will
produce a distil ct duorescence,
shining with a yellowish green light
when strol.gly Illuminated, in 100
tons of water. To produce this re-
suit the huorescein must be divided
into countless billions of particles.
Every conceivable substance en-
tiers into the composition Of dust.
In street dust may be found bits OF
iron and steel from the tires OF
wagons, horseshocs and the nails
of our own shoes, bits of leather

few persons, whether purchasers or

the arm measurement of King Hen

and it was he who ordained that the
length of his own arm should be
