EVIDENTLY A HOPELESS CASE
Obstinate Man Determined Not to Ad- init That the Dictagraph Had
 Helped Him.

A certain young man of Columbus times carries a little dictagraph in- strument with him to help him follow the conversation of his friends. was among some of his rural relatives last week. There happened to be farmer in the vicinity who had not heard a word for years. The Columbus man was introduced to him and referred to his little instrument which helped deaf persons, and offered to demon strate it to him.
 ''l cant hear through those things 1 have tried them all and none of them are any good," he said.
 Put this up to your ear and try it anyhow suggested the visitor. The farmer heSitated a while and then put one cad of the instrument. to. his ear To the surprise of the Columbus man the deaf farmer replied. when asked in tone hardly above a whisper, Can you hear what say?"
 Nope, I cant hear word. These things don't do me any good"
 Would you acknowledge it if they would help you?" was then asked him in still lower tone of voice, and the answer came back promptly: Ger. tainly would, but l cant hear word you say
 The Columbus man put the instru. ment back in his pocket and said to his rural friend, "A hopeless case."- Columbus Dispatch.

Oriuin of Grain as Measur.

The grain. as measure of weight, has it's name from being originally the weight of grain of wheat. A statute passed in England in 1866 ordained that 32 grains of wheat, taken from the middle of the ear and well dried, should make pennyweight, 12 of which should make an ounce, while 12 ounces were to make pound.
 The pound, therefore, consisted of 1880 grains. But several centuries later the pennyweight was divided into "A grains, which makes the troy pound 5.76O grains. Tho pennyweight was the exact weight of a silver pen. ny The standard grain was nre. scribed by act of parliament in the reign of George ".

Flyinq War Horse.

A correspondent of the Milan Cor, riere della Sera" reports the following story:
 An Italian lieutenant recently rode through one of the villages on the Isonzo front. He dismoLnted before the temporary quarters of the com mander of his regiment and tied his horse to tree. When he entered the house he heard the humming poise oi large Austrian shell and a moment later a terrible explosion followed The shell had struck small building on the opposite side of the street. AT immense cloud of smoke and dust rose and when it disappeared the horse oi the officer was gone.
 "The air pressure caused by the ex plosion had lifted the animal from the ground and thrown it on the fla, roof of a nearby house, where it was found almost unhurt. It was no easy job to get the horse to the street again, as this could only be accom- plished with the aid of large crane.

toned in this book; nothing more, nothing less!" and taking small vol ume which lay on the table. he tossed 1t in front of Rev. Smith Boyd.
 It was the Book of Common Prayer, containing, in the last pages, the ar ticles of Faith.
 Clark seized his hat and coat, and strode out of the door, followed by the red-faced Chisholm, who had also been asked to resign. Nicholas Van Ploon rose, and shook hands with Rev. Smith Boyd.
 Sargent has told me about your plan for the new tenements," he stat ed. 'I am in favor of buying the property"
 Well swing it for you, Boyd. promised Jim Sargent. Eve been talking with some of the other mem bers, and they seem to favor the idea that the new Vedder court will be a great monument. Therell be no such magnificent charity in the world, and no such impressive sacrifice as giving up that cathedral! l think Cunning ham will be with us, when it comes to a vote."
 Certainly" interposed Nicholas Van Ploon. we don't need to make any profit from those tenements. The nor nal increase in ground value will be enough"
 Yes" said Cunningham slowly. ''I am heartily in favor of the proposi- tion."
 Coming along, doctor?" invited Manning, going for his coat and nat,
 No, think not" decided Rev. Smith Boyd quietly.
 He was sitting at the edge of the table facing the Good Shepherd at the edge of whose robe still sparkled crystalline light, and in his two hands he thoughtfully held the Book of Com mon Prayer.

ever swept the world without It's at' tendant supernatural phenomena. so no great spiritual revival has ever swept the world without it's concreted sympoi which men might wear upon theif breasts. The cross! What shall be US successor? A ball of fire 1n the SKY: Who knows! If that symbol of mans sniritual reiuvenation, of his renewed nearness to God, were, in reality ball of fire, Gail, would hold It up ln the sight of all mankind though IL shriveled my arm!"
 The thin treble note stole out of the organ loft, pulsing its timid way among the high. dim arches, as if seeking a lodgment where it might tasten US tiny thread of harmony, and grow into a song of new glory, the glory whlch had been born that day 1n the two earnest hearts beneath in the avenue of slender columns. The soft light from one of the clerestory windows flooded in on the compassionate son or man above the altar. The very air seemed to vibrate with the new in- spiration which had been voiced in the old Market Square church. Gail gazed up at Smith Boyd, with the first con tent her heart had ever known; con- tent in which there was both earnest ness and serenity, to replace all her groping. He met her gaze with eyes in which there glowed the endless love which it is beyond the power of speech to tell. There was a moment of ecstasy. of complete understanding, of the per feet unity which should last through out their lives. In that harmony. they walked from the canopy of dim arches, out through the vestry, and beneath the door above which perched the two gray doves cooing. For an instant Gail looked back into the solemn depths. and a wistfulness came into her eyes.
 "The ball of fire" she unused. When shall we see it in the sky?"
 THE END.
