Leans OF Honor.

Tip never had a mite of patience

reverence on a debt of honor. AS a
rule the debt of honor chap doesn't

an experiment with loans of honor"

the average person Is honest. Several
years ago public spirited men got to-
gether" at Lyons and formed what
they called Loan and Honor society.
The purpose was to furnish money to
clerks, laborers and apparently to any
poor and needy persons. No other Sc
curity than the borrowers word was
asked. In 1901 money was lent to
1884 individuals. Sixty-eight of these.

the borrowers were married. Sickness

society has lost only 5000. Yes, the

Promoters of Spirituality

The old adage in regard to tbs way

persons as libel on masculine hui
manity, but Deacon Sampson of Gran

that light. .,...
He went much farther than the
adage, and was willing to express his
opinion at any time when it seemed
best. When the members of the
Central church were discussing the
best way to interest the young people
of the town and bring them into
touch with church affairs, Deacon
Sampson spoke his word.

PROBLEM FOR THE SCIENTIST
How May tho Energy Of the Sun, at
Present Largely Wasted, Be Utii-
ixeI to Advantage?

n. The enormous energy which is con-
stantly poured out by. the sun Is al
most past the comprehension Of the
lay mind.
s., Measurements have shown that on a
clear sunny day the sun transmitted
to the earth energy which CORES
pended to about 7,00O-horsepower per
acre. At present all that is practical
ly wasted. Attempts have from time
to time been made to utilize this enor-
Tnous supply of energy, but not with
any great measure Of success. II peo-
pie only knew how to harness it they
could. at the expense. OF lowering the
temperature of the earth by a degree
or so, obtain all the power necessary
to perform the work of the world. Only
about three-fifths of the energy sent to
the earth from the sun Is appreciate
to the eye as light. If the sun were
twice asthot as it is, four-fifths would
be appreciate in that way, and II 1t
were still hotter the whole of the en-
ergy would affect the eye as light.
Radiant energy is not heat; that is,
the energy of the sun does not reach
the earth in the form of heat. 1t is
not heat at all until it falls on bodies
whose temperature can be raised. 1t
might rather be called electricity; in
fact, it is form of electricity, for all
the methods used to detect and meas
ure radiant energy depend upon alb
sorbing it and Transforming it into
heat.

BLACK IS FAVORED IN PARIS
Women There Are Oiscardlng the
Seasons Beautiful Colorings For
Day and Evening Wear.

There were never more beautiful
tolorings than those prepared for us
this season but for some inexpIicable
reason the capricious Parisieune is
discarding them all and adopting
black for day and evening wear. A
gorgeous frock was worn one night
this week by pretty and slim wom-
an. and it had no touch Of color in
it 1t consisted Of white satin IN
derdress made for once, without
train, that fell perfectly straight and
plain and was very. very narrow at
the foot. From the hem 10 about the
height Of the knees this dress was
embroidered with single flowers
dropped lightly here and there in
black chenille Where these sprigs
ended there were a number of small
bright Jet nails sprinkled very lightly
round the skirt Over this was a
short round tunic of black ninon that
was gathered at waist and hem in
fairly full folds. 1t was edged with
swansdown and the decolletage had
it's blackness relieved by few of the
same Jet nails and a very narrow strip
Of the swansdown. The toilette proved
once more what striking effects can
be achieved with black and white.
