Daniel Fahrenheit.

In view Of the abnormal weather
which We have had this summer we
think a tribute of respect should be
paid to the memory of Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit, who was born on Septem-
Der 16, either in 1876 or 1740, it is
hard to say which. Before his day sew
eral attempts had been made to meas
ure the heat level, not the heat, by
tubes containing oil of spirits of wine,
but it lay with a bankrupt merchant
of Dantzig to show how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits of wine; but the ingeni-
our Gabriel soon adopted mercury as
his medium, and so it has remained
to this day. His instruments speedily
became known throughout the world.
and though a more rational method of
graduation has since been adopted, the
popular mind still clings to the Fab
renheit scale. Our own Royal society
thought highly of this humble inven-
tor and acknowledged his genius by
making him one of it's fellows. To the
transactions" of the society he con-
tributed several papers.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

TO KEEP THE SKIN CLEAR

For more than a generation, Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment have
done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions of the
complexion, red, rough, chapped
hands, dandruf, itching, scaly scalps,
and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfigured infants
and children. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers throughout the world, a
liberal sample of each, with 32-page
book on the care of the skin and hair
will be sent post-free, on application
to "Cuticura," Dept. % L, Boston.

Humanity Like a Chain.

The strength of the chain is limited
to it's weakest link A thousand
strong links are weakened to the
strength of the one weak one. The
weak link can distribute its weakness
to the thousand strong ones, but the
entire thousand strong ones cannot
contribute a particle of strength to
the one weak one. We must gauge
the strain upon the chain by the pow
err Of the weak link. In like manner
humanity is a chain of varied links;
o cannot demand the strength in
the whole that you find in the strong
est link.-Rev. c. ]. Harris, Unitarian,
San Francisco.

WHEN JOHNNY CAN'T HEAR
Boy at Play Is Always Deaf When
His Mother Is Calling
Him.

"Johnnyi"
That was his mother calling from a
window and Johnny playing in the
street, but Johnny didn't hear her.
And then:
Johnny! Come here"
But Johnny is at this moment
reaching up to catch a high ball and
his ears are closed to all calls; where
upon:
Johnny, do you hear me-"
But Johnny doesn't. He has caught
that ball and now he is fielding it to
another boy standing by a tree. So,
now:
Johnny" this time with a little
~staccato in it, and perhaps a faint
suggestion of a slipper.
And does that open Johnny's ears?
Why, he's at the bat now and pre-
pared to hit the ball a swat that will
send it half way down the block, and
all things else are as naught to him.
But now hear the vigilant mother,
this time gently, for she knows that
boys will be boys:
Johnny, 1 want you to come in
now"
Johnny is at this moment running
like a wild man, or boy, making for

Savannah.-With the first day that
boxes were put on sale for the Van

Thanksgiving week fifty-two boxes
were reserved. There was also a
great rush for reserved seats, and the
advance sale of these as well as the
boxes was more than twice as great
on the first day of the sale
than were the sales for the two
previous grand prize races, indicat-
ing that the races this year will be
much more largely attended than the
previous ones. Mr.. Harvey Granger,
president of the Savannah Automo-
bile Club, has charge of the sale of
boxes. while reservations should be
made through Mr.. S. E. Theus, chair
man. at Savannah. Every mail is
heavy with requests for boxes and
seats. The same prices as hereto
fore will prevail, viz: Boxes $50 each
and reserved seats SO each, good for
both days of the racing. 1t has been
found necessary to construct one hun
dred additional boxes. so great has
heen the demand for box seats.
