Tn. Keystone State.

There are several theories as to how
Pennsylvania came to be called the
keystone State. The one most general
ly accepted and the one most dear to
all who own Pennsylvania as their ma
tive state, is that Pennsylvania decided
the great issue of American independ-
ence.
At the meeting of the Continental
congress in Philadelphia July 4, 1776.
the vote adopting the Declaration was
taken 5y states. OF the thirteen orig
;nal states six had already voted in
the affirmative and six in the negative.
when the delegation from Pennsylva-
MIA came in, John Morton casting the
deciding vote in the affirmative Thus
Pennsylvania. by her vote, decided and
was named the Keystone State.
Another reason advanced is that In
constructing a bridge between Penn
sylvania avenue and Georgetown.
Washington, single arch was erected
of stone left from building the walls of
the capitol. On the thirteen ''vous-
soirs" or arch stones, the names of the
thirteen states were engraved. Penn
sylvania. falling in the keystone of the
arch, became still more widely known
as the Keystone State.-Philadelph

The Hull of a Dreadnouqht.

An amazing amount of me- teriai goes
to the making of $4,000 ton battle
ship. Into the hull alone enter some
$500 tons of steel and iron, an amount
more than equal to the whole of the
material from Keel to lighting tops In
many of the preDreadnought war YES
sells. OF this amount of material over
6.o00 tons is steel plating, 1856 tons
is for shapes. channeling and angle
pieces; the weight of the rivets used
exceeds $50 tons, these rivets ranging
In diameter from three-eighths of an
inch to one and one-half inches, and
there are over 400 tons of specially
shaped steel castings, ranging in weight
from two to eighteen tons each. These
figures include nothing for gun mount
ing or special armoring, but are for the
mere construction of the bare hull
alone.-London Express.

The AIaskans.

According to the government stats
tics, the natives of Alaska are about
26000 in number, and they are spread
over more than $4,000 of the $4,000
square miles of the territory. Their
small settlements extend along 10000
miles of coast and on both sides of the
Yukon river and its tributaries, for a
distance of more than $500 miles. One
OF the supervision districts contains a
full 100000 square miles. The others
average more than $1,000 square miles
each. OF the natives of Alaska ap-
proximately 1900 belong to six tribes

In "Ants. Bees and Wasps" it is re
lated that one summer some fifty years
ago Sir John Lubbock became inter
ested in curious parasite of the bum
blebee. He wished to complete his in
vestigations. but as the winter came on
did not know where to get the bees.
SO he advertised.
In reply to his advertisement a man
wrote offering him a supply of bees at
'one and six apiece. The price was
high, but in the cause of science Lub-
book did not demur. only when he had
bought all TIE bees he required he
wrote to the man and said Now that
have had the bees, for which | am
greatly obliged, would you kindly tell
me. to satisfy my curiosity, how you
are able to procure them at this time
of year," The man wrote back quite
courteously, but quite firmly. saying:
mo. Since can sell the bees at eight
eenpence each, | think it pays me bet
ter to go on doing so than to tell any
body else how to procure them"

Literary Style"

A high school student writes this Of
fee inquiring what constitutes a litter
airy style" Without trying to answer
this interesting and difficult question,
two remarks may be cited that throw
light on 1t.
When Charles James Fox was told
that his speech read well he retorted,
"Then it was bad speech" when
one of my congregation would tell me
at the end of a service that the SER
mon was fine" DR.. Lyman Abbott has
said, II knew 1 had made failure"
In general the style Is good when 1t
fits the thought so well that the style
itself does not attract attention. As
soon as you begin to be conscious of
the style-unless of course you are
reading with that end in view-you
may be pretty sure it's bad style.
Style is something like clothes or fur
niture. The we'll dressed man is the
man whose clothes do not attract at
tention. The well furnished room is
the one you go out of satisfied, but
unable to describe the furniture.-Kan-

Economy and Saving.

sort of paradox is the fact that
thousands of people WHO make no eff
fort TO save a dollar when times are
highly prosperous will develop and
practice economy when work and OPP
portunity are less plentiful The best
way. of course, is to try and save at
least little all the time. putting by a
larger amount when earnings are at
their height As a nation We are not
taught that economy, which makes
France the banker OF the world and
whose accumulations come not from
vast exports of natural resources, but
from the combined small savings. con-
sistently continued year after year, by
the French people as whole.
The French save partly because 1t
has become hereditary and chiefly be-
cause the children are brought up that
way and are taught the dignity of ac-
emulation. We, on the contrary, in
a spirit of false pride. are inclined TO
scorn the necessity of saving. as
though it were something of which TO
be ashamed. Ii our present expe-
riences shall teach US thrift it will
be strengthening of a great national
weakness. IL. Windsor in Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

superstitious Cures.

at an inquest in an English town
on a five-month-old child the mother
was said to have given it a decoction
of snails and Demerara sugar as cure
for whooping cough. She put the
snails. alive. into the sugar in a mus
lin bag, and the liquid filtrate was the
medicine. it seems that the snail"
remedy is known in other parts of the
country. Hot lemonade. hot treacle
and elderberry strip are also given by
the poor as a cure, and a sugared in
fusion of snails may be just as ettica-
ciOus as any Of them.
Walks round the gas works with
the suffering children are still prac-
ticed Old women were great believ-
ers in this method of cure. and they
used to be laughed at for their faith
in it. There was method in their
strange apparent madness. and one of
the best known cures today Is the
vaporizing of fluids that give off COM
pounds similar to those emanating
from places where they make gas

Ignorance of the bible.

One thing is deniable-knOwledge
of the Bible is far less general now
than it was in the days of my child
hood. That amazing familiarity with
the sacred book with which John
Richard Green credits the people of
England in the days of the common
wealth had persisted until my boy
hood among the SONS of the Puritans
and the Scotch Irish in New England
and In New York state. 1t was not
universal, but it was general. The
kind OF tests by which college stu
dents and students in secondary schools
are frequently in these days made to
display an ignorance of the Bible which
is astounding could have been passed
with credit by the majority of country
boys and girls sixty or seventy years
ago. But this thorough acquaintance
of earlier generations with the Bible
was not due to any considerable ex-
tent to the public school. All that we
learned about the Bible in school
would have added very little to our
store OF religious knowledge. 1t was
in our churches and our Sunday
schools, but chiefly in our homes, that
most of us learned what we knew
about the Bible.-Washingto GLADDEN.

Folks, Good Opinion,

Few persons do not value the good
opinion of others. Pulling down the
character of some one else is not the
way to build up your own; the ruin
of another does not mean your build
ing up. There are some who appear
to think another's possessions some
thing taken from themselves. This is
a mistake. To point out an error in
anothers character It is not to prove
a corresponding virtue in ones own.
Lee your chief aim be to make your
self worthy of the good opinion of
others. Belittling them is plain
acknowledgment of a conscious fault
of your own. The way to win the good
opinion of others is to be worthy of it.
If you are you win not need to call at
tention TO it.-Milwaukee Journal.

coolly explained to us the processes of
the trial and execution Of the commun-
lists. we strip their right shoulders,
he said. If the skin of the neck and
shoulders shows the dark mark pro-
duced by the kick of the chassepot
rifle the court pronounces the single
word "classe;" If there is no mark of
discoloration on the shoulder the presi-
dent says ''passe" and the man is re-
leased. Those to whom "classe" is said
are shot. One hundred and fifty were
shot at daybreak this morning in this
