No Doubt About "EverIastina Fire."

NO DOupI ABOUT everlasting FITSs
A dentist recently made a new set
of teeth for the bishop of -. He
anxiously watched the prelate as he
examined himself and his teeth in the
pier glass and was startled when he
heard the bishop mutter something in
which he emphasized the fearful words,
into everlasting fire."
The dentist ventured to suggest that
his lordship might feel rather uncom-
Portable at first, but in little time he
would get used to them.
Without appearing to notice the
dentist, his lordship exclaimed, with
tremendous vehemency, Into everlast-
ing fire!"
But, indeed, my lord, If you have
patience" pleaded the dentist, "in a
weeks time or So"
What do you mean?' inquired the
prelate, turning round with a be-
nignant smile. why should ! have
patience? The teeth fit beautifully. It
is the first time have found myself
able to pronounce the Athanasian
creed with distinctness for these TWEEN
ty years."

WHAT ACCESSORIES WILL DO
Have Very Great and Definite Value
In the Scheme Of Things, Ac-
cordine to Writer.

I'VE can only live once, and the
more we live the better" wrote Fflson
Young, English novelist, and l find
upon examination that the passion for
accessories is only an expression of
passion for life.
mot to follow up those engaging by
ways of temptation is to miss great
deal of agreeable and accidental infor-
nation and knowledge of the kind that
makes life full and interesting.
"You can press the button of your
camera and send your films to be de-
veloped and remain unenlightened,
but if you equip yourself with half its
accessories, photography will lead you
far into the sciences of physics and
chemistry.
IF you have a horse and some one
to look after him, you need not
occupy yourself very much about his
needs; but if you have this interest in
accessories and take a pleasure In

many other things, such as the rota-
ton of crops and the working of

thing itself is the center; they are
leads and links which take us out from
ourselves (and at our own expense) In
to the surrounding life of the world"

.FLUENCY NOT ALWAYS THERE
Even Orators Recognized as Great
Were Sometimes at Loss for
the Right Word.

The difficulties which Demosthenes
orator are tolerably familiar to most
readers, but it is not so well known
that many of our modern great orators
did not reel off their speeches as flu
emily as they appear in print.
Henry Clay was never at loss for
word, or "boggled" while speaking
With Mr.. Webster it was different, and
he often would hesitate and then rub
his nose with the bent knuckles of his
right thumb.
Mr.. Calhoun, when at loss for a
word, would give a petulant twist at
his large, turned-over shirt collar, and
then run his bony fingers through his
long, gray hair until it stood up like
the hair on an electric toy.
Mr.. Benton would sink his voice and
humble something that no one could
understand, and General Cass would
Jaw! aw!" in the English style, pass
ing his hand beneath the lower edge
Of his capacious white waistcoat.
Mr. Webster was almost inva riably
stuck" when he attempted to use a
Latin quotation, and when Mr.. Everett
was in the senate he used invariably to
appeal to him.
Some of the present day orators have
very poor delivery, but it does not
really matter. 1t is the sense OF the
speech and not the style that makes an
impression.

Widowed, deep-seated, spacious, cool

One cannot but wish that every
homebuilder and architect would
learn these words by heart, and hold
them as a constant reminder-for in
that one prophetic sentence seems to
be condensed the very spirit of
home.
The atmosphere of comfort and rest
fulness cannot be attained, however,
without much wise and thoughtful
planning. Its roots are in the prac-
tical, the seemingly commonplace
which, rightly treated, results in last

KNEW 1T HAD TO BE DONE
Though He Recognized Necessity
for Its Observance.

A New York engineer was survey
ing the route of a branch line for
railway system. An old farmer with
whom he stopped for time admitted
one day, when he saw the engineer
figuring in the field, that mathematics
always seemed a wonderful thing to
him.
Being young and enthusiastic, the
engineer began to enlarge upon it's
wonders, telling the farmer how we
could measure the distances to diff
ferent planets and even weigh the
planets; how we could foretell the
coming Of a comet or an eclipse years
in advance Of its actual occurrence,
determine the velocity Of the swiftest
projectiles, ascertain the heights Of
mountains without scaling them, and
many other things meant to astonish
the old man.
Eyes, them things does seem kinder
curious" said the farmer, but what
always bothered me was to under
stand why you have TO carry one for
every ten. But If you don't" he con-
tinued, with conviction, "the darned
thing won't come out right.

Biblical Tribute.

Exceptions in the cases of such Sc
mitic nations as the Jews, Bedouins
and Edomites it is difficult If not i'm
possible to trace any connection be-
tween the world nations of today and
those mentioned in the Scriptures. The
Bible is in great part history of the
family of Abraham and OF one rather
contracted corner Of the earth, and
nowhere processes to instruct In de-
tails of chronological or any other SCI
ence except that Of theology. The
world has generally agreed to derive
the black races from Noah's son
Ham. the Mongolians from shem, and
Caucasians from Japhet, and beyond
that (even in that all are not agreed)
it is not wise nor is it helpful to push
serious investigation.

think sometimes that our common
definition of dissipation is far too mar

crude qualification Of the passions

Irish Kings Their Ancestors.


There are more than two hundred
and twenty-five Hogans listed in the
Philadelphia directory and they say
that the Boston Hogan who wanted
the probate court to make him Ho-
man is the only one of the clan who
was ever ashamed Of his name.
Ashamed Of the name of Hogan!"
exclaims one of them. Shades of the
Princes Of Crioch Clan! Why, the
Hogans are descendants of Irish kings.
Cosgrach was the second son Of Lor-
can the one hundred and third king
of Thormond Stem. and was the an
cestor of the family. Crioch Clan of
which they were chiefs, was a terri
tory in the principally OF Ormond.
The Hogans had fortified residence
at Ardcromy. a parish In the barony
Of Lower Ormond, and they had an.
other at Ballylusky, in the same terri
tory. That was in ancient times"
The Philadelphia Hogans never
change their names excepting when
one of the daughters OF the clan gets
married.-Boston Post.

Best Hour for Work.

It is a curious fact in psychology
that nobody can stay at the same
mental and physical level for twenty
four hours together. In the morning
you are more matter Of fact, for in
stance, than later in the day. 1t is in
the morning that the best brain work
is done. too-brain work of the sort
that requires industry and clear think
ing. And it is about eleven in the
morning that our body reaches its
highest point of energy. In other
words, you are stronger, though al
most imperceptibly, at eleven in the
morning than at three in the after
noon. You reach the highest point
twice in the day, for about five in the
afternoon the muscular energy has
risen again. But from five onward it
declines steadily all through the eve
ming, and on till between two and three

Mxstsrx About PreeIoua stones.

That the diamond and other pre-
cious stones were made In the un.
fathomed and fiery caves of earth and
brought to the surface by volcanic or
other upheaval, is well established
especially in regard to those of the
South African fields; but more mystic
rious than this is that they have been
found in the paths of the ancient gla'
cial drifts OF North America. They
are held to be very vaguely related to
all crystalline forms which are others

Gauge for Measuring Social.


The Pittsburgher who resents the
timeworn variations of the soft coal
smoke gibes now has his chance to
prove that they are unjustified, or re-
main forever silent. By new inven-
ton it is at present possible to measure
the sootfall of any city as accurately
as its rain or snowfall may be meas
ured. Already this SCOT gauge, tried
out in England, has proved what the
tourist long suspected, that London.
with all its yellow fog, has far purer
air than the North of England factory
cities of Birmingham, Manchester and
the like. Not only have Pittsburgh and
other slandered American cities the
opportunity to whiten their sooted
regulations, but the manufacturer. too,
may now establish accurately the ex.
