THE MELTING POT,

WE have taken occasion from time
to time OF the small appreciation of
preachers and teachers as manifested
in their pay, but ii is less than we
thought. A South Bend congregation
has refused to pay its preacher IS a
week and his board.
This man may not be much of a
preacher, but he is worth more than
that as an example Of unselfsh devo-
ton TO a good cause.
A LARGE share Of the admiration
stirred in our breast by the garden
exhibit made by the boys and girls
of the public schools went to the
little gardeners rather than to their
products. When we were a boy we
had a genuine adherence of work in
the garden and this antipathy has
chung to us all these years.
MATRIMONY is said by high med
ical authority to be conducive to
longevity for men, for the reason
that they live much more regular
lives. And yet it is rare that an
old bachelor dies young.

THE young man who perched him
self on the railing just above Prospect
point at Niagara Falls and fell into
the water was hardly worth saving
on account of his common sense, but
of course a human life is a human
life
He could almost be classed with
the young man standing on the bridge
at Goat island good many years ago
who playfully caught up a little girl
and saw her wiggle from his arms
and go over the falls.

The Blow a Train Can Strike.

The force of the blow struck by
modern train going at high speed Is
greater than that Of the shot from a
modern gun At least such is the state
ment Of a scientist who has been look
ing into this question. He estimates
that a modern passenger train will
weigh about 400 tons and that it
moves at a velocity of seventy to sew
enty-f1ve miles an hour. or about 100
feet a second. A mass of 400 tons pro-
PEELED at this velocity will strike
blow twice as great as that delivered
by a 1000 pound shot fred from a 100
ton cannon. This. he states. accounts
for the tremendous destruction caused
