heard him, telling as he did, not SC

taken in his efforts as Grand Chancellor

how it had alleviated suffering: had
thought of the ones who had left the
home nest, and, too, the ones who still
found joy around the fireside and how
the order tried in its way to make him

husband, and at the conclusion of his
speech of acceptance there was a round
of applause.
Many visiting Knights, from various
parts of the state, were present and

How a Siphon Acts.

The main principle of the siphon f.
the same as that of a suction pump
viz, that if a vacuum be created in n
tube inserted IN water the normal pres
sure Of the atmosphere will cause the
water TO rise in the vacuum TO a
height Of about thirty-three feet. The
siphOn is a bent tube, one side or leg
Of which is longer than the other. and
the conditions Of its successful opera
ton are, first, that the shorter side or
leg be placed in the water; second, the
longer side or leg to hang freely over
the edge Of the vessel: third, vacuum
70 be created throughout the length OF
the tube by sucking the air from the
longer side. This win be immeC lately
followed by a flow of water. which
will continue as long as the mouth of
the shorter side or leg of the tube re
mains under the surface Of the water.
In transferring water from a lower
level care should he taken not TO re
move the short side from the water. as
that would destroy the vacuum and
cause the flow TO stop.

The French do not as a rule employ
inverted commas to Indicate a dia-
Iogue. but they employ the dash To- in
dictate a change OF speakers, which Is
just as bad. Certainly many punctua-
ton marks are sadly misused or over
used. Dickens flung unnecessary com
mas all over his pages-whole bat
talions OF them. Walter Pater also
employed them with extraordinary
prodigauty. frequently before the word
land" where the conjunction rendered
them superfiuous. Pater was also
overload of the mark of exclamation.

his measured style it must needs APP

is real art in its punctuation. How ad-
mirably IT marks the cadence and helps

Do you know what is the proper
abbrevtation of the United States? 1t
is U. s. 1t is not u. S. A There Is
widespread and apparently utter ig-
norance of this fact The initials q. S.
A. are the officially accepted abbrevia-
ton for United States army and do not
under any possible conditions ever
mean United States of America. At
this time, when so many manufacture
ers in this country are branding their
goods as made in the United States,
this is important. The brand of q. s.
A. upon anything means that it was
manufactured for the United States
army. Made In q. S" is the brand
which should be put upon all goods
manufactured in this country.-Albany

in Washington. Asked his business, he
said he wanted to see Mr.. Lincoln and
was not going away until he had seen
him. Ultimately the president granted
the visitor an interview.
"Say, Mr.. Lincoln" he began, do you
want a secretary of war? For, if you
do I'm your man."
The president informed him that at
that moment he was not in need of
such an article.
With that the stranger withdrew, but
as he was leaving the room he turned
and said, "Say, Mr.. Lincoln, have you
such thing as pair of old trousers

visitor he almost deserved the secre-
taryship, because" he added, you

The philosophic term "necessitarians'
is used to denote those persons that
deny the freedom OF will and assert
that in human conduct all volitions
are determined by motives that obey
the law of causation as invariably as
do the forces OF nature. The word
"determinists'' was suggested as a
substitute by John Stuart Mill and has
been very generally adopted - New
