 The late Rev. Horatio Stebbins of San Francisco was a man of large mind and noble powers, but more fa- miliar with the world of intellectual and scholastic interests than with triv- ial and timely things. His household was blessed with charming daughter who grew up tall and beautiful. com manding the admiration of all who ga W her.
 One day a visitor said to the good doctor: Doctor, your daughter grows more charming day by day. Why, ahe's a regular Gibson girl"
 ~Ah, thank you, thank yous'' rep1ed the doctor in his best manner. When the visitor had gone, turning to his wife the doctor asked, ''My dear, who are the Gibsons ?"-San Francisco Ar. Ronaut.
 Dogs In Ecclesiastical Decorations.
 The stained glass representation of the ''PeddIer and His Dog" was remoV- ed from Lambeth church quarter of . century ago owing to the alleged in. congruity of introducing the figure of a dog in a church window. Quite re gently Chancellor Prescott of Carlisle refused faculty for stained glass window in Westmorland church be- cause the design included dog, and perhaps the only existing examples of dogs used for ecclesiastical decorations are to be found in Lord Brownlow's private chapel at Ashbridge. In this church one stained glass window de picts Tobias and Sara in bed and dog sleeping on the quilt. while in an other window Job is shown being mocked by three men. one of whom iE holding dog by chain Westmin Oter Gazette.

THE SILKWORM.
But For Man's Aid the Domesticated
 Insect Would Be Extinct.

But For Man's Aid the Domesticated
 Insect Would Be Extinct.
 A peculiar fact about the silkworm Is that 1t is actually domesticated in- sect. Neither the animals nor the fowls of the barnyard, remote as they are from the wild types, need so little re- straint as this bombyx mori, which, prodigiously industrious though 1t be, has never been able to meet the worlds demand for its spun product. @
 As a matter of fact, the silkworm has been so domesticated through the ages that it would become extinct now were 1t not for the aid of man. Born into slavery, the caterpillars crawl con- tentedly over the narrow territory of their feeding trays, and, though the moths have wings, they have lost all desire to fly This slavery began in China more than 4,50O years ago.
 Nevertheless all the worlds silk does not come from the domesticated insect. Not little of the supply is "wild silk" This is the product of various insects belonging to the larger family of sat urniidae. Chief among them industrial ly is the Indian moth called Antheroea mylitta, the source of tussah silk.-Har- per's Weekly.

Felt Safer In the Mine.

In an article in the Atlantic Monthly Joseph Husband describes a thorough examination of a coal mine in the mid dle west. Work was discontinued for the time, and the miners were obliged to stay Ion top" for number of days. So great was the interest taken by the men in this work of examination that there was little complaining. One morning, however, as I walked back from the power house to the town l met Luke Davis, an old miner of about sixty, who came Hmping down the street toward the mine, and from him heard the first complaint of the kind, and many like it followed, that had yet encountered. zz.. .....+ ...
 ''The air on top ain't fit to live tn," he said. "One day it's cold; next day it's hot. I've had rheumatism ever since the mine shut down. The only place a man keeps his health is under ground" There were many others who shared his views.

En4ura of IaIea aana,.a.

The lake of Geneva, lying in the deep valley between the Alps and the Jura mountains, performs a remark able work for the benefit of man. During the summer it's waters store up a great quantity of heat, which is slowly radiated into the air in the course of the following autumn. Thus the freezing currents descending from the snow topped mountains around are warmed and tempered, and the atmosphere along the shores of the lake is maintained at a moderate tenn
 perature. But the remote descendants of the present inhabitants will expe- rience quite a different state of af- fairs, for 1t is estimated that in 64,OO0 years the river Rhone will have turn ed the lake into a broad plain by means of the soil 1t is constantly car rying down from the mountains.-Cin- cinnati Commercial Tribune. -

A SHIP IN A STORM.
The Peril When Wind and Water Rage
 In Opposite Directions.

Tho Peril When Wind and Water Rage
 In Opposite Directions.
 In a storm at sea, with gale blow ing in one direction and the sea rum ming in the opposite direction, it takes a stanch ship to stand the water pres sure on one side and the contrary wind pressure on the other.
 Stability is one of the greatest prob lems to the constructor of a steamship. Naturally the center of gravity should be low. The hull must be of such a form that when the vessel rolls to one side the center of buoyancy shall move sufficiently far to that same side for the forces of buoyance acting upward to right the vessel.
 A badly designed ship is liable to many dangers. If light in the stern the screw may come out of the water, race and be snapped of. If too low in the stern when running before a storm breaking waves may fall on board and so tend to swamp the vessel. A ship may be topheavy; there comes a mo- ment when the upward force of buoy ancy no longer tends to right the ship, but instead exerts it's force in pushing the ship still farther out of perpendicu- lar, with the result that she capsizes.- New York World.

The TempIars.

The order of the Templars was or ganized about the year 1118 for the purpose of protecting pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land and back. The founder of the order is supposed to have been Baldwin H., king of Jeru- salem. For long time the Templars was the most highly honored organ izat1on in Europe, but Jealousy on the part of the sovereigns, coupled with their desire to get hold of the great wealth of the Templars, caused the persecution of the order, which finally (about 13O8) resulted in it's practical extinction. The order was abolished in 1312.-New York American.
