 umphs of Science.

The girls father met the young man m the hall. The time was some nights later There was peculiar gIeam of triumph in the elder mans nye which the younger man was total ly at a loss to fathom.
 "You wish to speak with me before Miss Gladys comes down?" said the caller, repeating the words of the other.
 T do, young man," replied the girls father; just step in the par lor: I will not detain you more than . few minutes Doubtless you are aware of the recent remarkable strides of science"

 'Very wonderful, indeed. Well. the practical part of all this simply is that ast Saturday night when you were here alone in the parlor with Gladys, you sat directly in front of one of these truly wonderful machines.

CHAPEL IS HELD BY A SKUNK
odoriferous Animal Withstands On sIaught of Hymn Books, But Sue

Sioux City. Ia.-One lonesome an1- nal of the species skunk in the chapel of the Morningside college here held more than one hundred students at bay the other morning and finally routed them, notwithstanding the fact that he was bombarded with hymn books and Bibles and had hurled at him language which usually does not accompany such literature. Although Sir Civet refused to yield to the on slaught of the Scriptures" he finally gave up the ghost when attacked with a shovel in the hands of the janitor- Sir Civet already had possession when the students arrived for morning con vacations, and seemed disinclined to yield to threats. persuasion not being attempted. The melee ended with the death of the animal, but the morning services were not held in the chapel, and will not be held there for month.

PASTOR BARS HELLO"
SAYS PROFANITY LURKs IN PRO.
 NUNcIATIoN OF WORD.
New Jersey Divine Says the Woro Causes Thousands to Cuss Daily and He Would
 Substitute "Lo."

Trenton, N. J.-The members of the Second Reformed church of White Horse have begun a crusade against the use of the word hello" as they declare it verges on profanity, and they have requested the telephone companies to instruct their centrals not to use it.
 Rev. Harry M. Hitchcock, pastor of the church, says that thousands swear daily and do not know it by the use of the word, and he believes a ban should be put on 1t all over the United States. The members of his congrega- tion are enthusiastically following him in the movement and believe that hello" will be abandoned in few years.
 'It is an improper word," declared the preacher, "and should be tabooed- I think it should be classed as the call of Hades, because the manner in which many pronounce it is so broad that the last letter might as well have been eliminated It frequently passes the mouths of children who soon learn that, by putting the last letter first, there Is an altogether different mean ing given, and I have often heard youngsters make this reversal.
 "Why should we have word in everyday use that thus spells the name of such a horrid place? An other would be just as good and less offensive to the ear. I believe that simple To would be more convenient and answer the same purpose. It would be more American, too. l be Iieve that the word dam as applied to water should also be changed, as 1t reminds one too vividly of damn

Lanouaae for Eaeh sex.

If one of the difficulties of learnins Samoan is that each noble has a pri. vate dialect of his own, the difficulty is matched by a linguistic complication in certain other parts of Polynesia In the Gilbert islands the men and the women speak literally different Ian guage. The difficulty of mutual inter course is overcome by making the women use the masculine tongue when talking to the men Among themselves it is "tabu" And the men do not trouble their heads about the other
 With some trouble you may find the difference between the mems and the women's language in this civilized country. There are words that are un- derstood and used by every woman, and not quite comprehended by man when he hears them accidentally. For example, shopping is woman's word. And another-which is not used by men-is nice" A man may be clever and rich and handsome, but not nice" You have heard the whis- per of the epithet in the feminine Ian euage. But the word is never used in that sense (which you know) by man

Colts Hustle for Feed.

I believe we would get better To suits If we would change our practice of raising colts. Many farmers permit colts to run with their mothers un- til they are put on the market, says writer in an exchange. Many times they become very thin and emaciated during the winter. especially when snow is quite deep. A good plan, 1t seems to me, would be for us to give them some feed the first year. be- lfeve that in the course of few years this will be done.

crsnIte of the South.

When one speaks of granite the Aind naturally reverts to Vermont. It Is difficult to associate granite with any section of North America outside New England, yet it must now be acknowl- edged to the credit of the south that Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia are producing large quantities of stone of good quality which insures the south place in the market at any rate
 The annual output is now worth about S3 ,5OO. 900 and the industry is growing. It may be of comparative interest to know that New England's output is about ss,OOO.O00 worth oi stone annually.

Losa, who is superintendent of 20 missions for for eigners supported in the neighborhood of Pittsburg by the Presbyterian church, said that the average wage in their native land of the big, sturdy sIovaks and Ruthenians who come to Pfttsburg is about sixteen cents day, and that cabbage and potatoes is their chief diet, with meat perhaps two or three times a year.

has been taken by invading armies 42 times and has repelled dozen at tempts to capture it. Usually the city burned and many of its people carried into slavery. Battering rams have been hurled against the Coliseum, against the 25-foot wall of the Pan- theon, against all the public buildings reared under the Caesars, but unavail- ingly. Rome was as strong in her structural kingdom as she was power full in the field.
 Taxes were light in Rome before unifcation. Since then they are heavy. When Victor Emmanuel was crowned Rome expected to become capital of 1000 OOO in 25 years. She did start good deal of building and in other ways improved the city. But it pre- cipitated financial panic, banks fail ed and there was hard time all around So instead of a million folks in a quarter of a century, the number is 6OO,OOO after 40 years.
 The merchants never carry two ar ticles of the same kind The stores are small, the stock limited. and Romans want to be original in their purchases.

 The Vatican gardens are as beauti- ful as the lovers of landscape have so often depicted Here the Italian gar den is idealized I have often seen representations of these exquisitely laid out grounds in different countries but they pale alongside of the beau ties of the kind found in the territory of the pope The hedges, in the rich est of verdure, are J5 feet high, and everything else is on as attractive ana as generous a scale. The forest with paths made where the popes take daily exercise are freighted with de licious odors which bid one tarry. Then there is an enclosure where pea. cocks, ducks, chickens, etc, give va riety to the entrancing picture. The play of fountains and the rush of waters in a cataract and over rocky | projections are most pleasing. Grape arbors here and there lead one to be- lieve that wine producing of superior flavor is one of the yields in this won derful enclosure The chapel of Lour- des erected by Leo XIII Is in the midst of greenery which gives it cemetery setting. The one-story octa- | gonal house on the edge of the emi- hence three-quarters of a mile from the Vatican, where Leo used to pass the heated days of summer in writing, overlooks the valley beyond. Opposite is the city he loved and for 25 years looked upon but could not venture into While the gardens are beautiful and spacious, man tires in circum- scribed area. for the instinct is natur- | al to go out and see things elsewhere Plus X finds this self-imposed exile just as irksome as did Plus TX and Leo XII and longs for a change. It will be a happy day when the holy father can do away with these barriers which shut him out from the populace of Rome and when he can enjoy the freedom of the city's streets and feel that he is as safe among his towns men as he is inside the walls of Ehe Vatican.

II. F. Griswold.

Henry Franklin Griswold, who
died May 18th, at his home was a
type Of the best citizenship. He was
born in New Ipswich, N H., July IL,
1888. In 1850 his father, Franklin
GrisWold, removed from New Ipswich
to ST. Johnsbury Center, and two
years later to East st. Johnsbury,
having bought the tannery there of
Isaac Harrington.
Mr.. Griswold and wife We're de-
vout Congregationalists, and their
children were all educated in that
faith. The family was a valuable ac-
QUESTION to the Third church, of
which Mr.. Griswold was soon elected
deacon.
When the Portland and Ogdens-
burgh road was opened in 1872
Deacon GriswoId assumed charge of
the station at East st. Johnsbury At
his lamented death in 1874 he was
succeeded by his son, Henry, who
conducted the business of the tan
merry successfully until it succumbed
to change of methods, as SO many
other kinds of business have been
obliged to do in the rapid increase
of population in the United States.
For 81 years he was a trusted en-
ploye of the railroad company, and
transacted it's business to the entire
satisfaction of the public
The Sundays have been very few
in the past half century when his
clear bass voice was not heard IN
the choir of the church to which he
belonged. Advancing years did not
diminish the erectness of his figure.
or mar the melody of his voice.
1t was less what he did than what
he was that made Mr.. Griswold not
able, and it is the memory of his
character which sweetens the loss
now felt by large circle. For all
his life this man paced others above
self. He lived and wrought, first for
his family of which his wife, three
daughters, a son, and Capt. Edward
F. Griswold, his brother, survive him,
and for the circle of friends gathered
about his home. His help reached
a much larger number, of which the
only record is found in the extent
of the grief evoked by his illness
and death. He did this modestly
and without blare of trumpets. He
was not the man to magnify the i'm
portance of his way of doing things.
He worked heartily and enthusiastic
cally through accepted agencies both
/ in church and public affairs, content
that the credit go to the leaders, so
/ that the work be done. His loss will
be deeply felt, but his example will
be even more deeply priced. Unfail-
ing and simple goodness is SO rare
that the passing of man like Hen
ry Franklin Griswold leaves the
world poorer.
