Turkish Hospitality as II Is

From the Christian Herald.
We found the inhabitants still less hos
pitable than in Paulis time. Doubtless
stranger in these days is far greater
rarity than in ancient times. Prying faces
were thrust behind the curtains of our
arabas to look at the strange women
from America, with their unveiled faces.
The mudir, or head man, of the hamlet
was among the first arrivals In the motley
throng that surrounded the arabas. In re-
turn to polite request that he would d.
rect US to the ruins of the ancient city,
he gave a prompt and curt refusal The
boys and young men, taking their cue
from the head man, began to revile us as
HGlaours, or christian dogs But soon
they found out that one of our company
was missionary doctor; then their whole
attitude changed for there were many
diseased people in the little village, and
TO them the coming of a skilled physician
from America, whose fame had already
spread to this little hamlet, gave promise
of health and life. This sudden change,
gratifying as it was to the cold and
weary travellers, showed them that the
character OF the Ilystrians for fickleness
had not changed with the changing CEN
turtles. In Paul,s time they first blew hot
and then blew cold. With us. in the 10Th
century. the process was reversed, and
their cool and forbidding reception was
soon changed to a warm welcome. The
mudi relented and allowed US the next
morning to find the ruins of the ancient
city This was not the easiest thing in
the world to do. for Lystra is surround
ed by hills and our only information about
the exact site of the city was that 1t was
upon hillside about a mile from the
modern village of Khatun Serial

Why Thunder Sours Milk

From Harper's Weekly.
II is universally known that milk turns
sour after a thunder storm. This has
been attributed to the large quantity of
ozone which is liberated by the electricity
in the air. The experiments of Professor
Trillat in Paris do not confirm that the
DRY. He has established that atmospheric
depressions cause purifying gases-nor-
mally queseent--to rise to the surface of
certain substances and in support of his
theory points out thai odors of all sorts
are more permeating after storms. These
atmospheric depressions accelerate the
decomposition of gases and tend to liber-
ate them. Hence Tactic ferment is pro-
dueed. Professor Trillat has made many
experiments with diverse substances un-
der varying pressures and has observed
that when the barometer is lowest during
storms, etc) the decomposition of gases
is most rapid.

Since the last report OF this office the

Method Of EIeetIns ch.peron-Ten.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing of the method by which a
chaperon will be chosen for the In
telligencer's party. and In order TO
make this perfectly clear. II may be
stated that each OF the candidates for
the tours is TO choose her own candi-
date for chaperOn OF the party. Under
no circumstances will two or more
candidates be allowed to nominate the
same chaperon.
Each special ballot ballots issued
on subscriptions) allows a number OF
votes equal to one-half the face value
OF the special ballot to be credited TO
that particular candidates candidate
for chaperon. Chaperon candidate may
secure subscription books and take
subscription payments. In this case
the chaperon will receive full face
value OF voting certificates Especial
ballotsl and her principal one-half the
face value. The chaperon candidate
who receives the highest vote OF all
chaperon candidates. will be awarded
the tour.
II is requested that all candidates

AS the contest has been opened to
old and young alike. 1t Is not abso-

contestants have asked IL they would
be allowed to nominate as chaperon a
young lady OF their own age. and the
question has been answered in the
affirmative. The party will be SO we'll
