 It seems that begging tramp ap- preached group of congressman, and one of them pointed out MT. Gardner and said:
 Nothing doing here, Weary; but that gentleman there is very cbarita- ble, and if you tackle him you'll be apt to make haul. "
 "Thanks, boss.'' said the tramp, huskily, and he hurried to MT. Gard ner, while the others looked on with interest.
 The tramp and the statesmen were seen to talk earnestly together for some time. Then their hands meta piece of money plainly passed between them and the tramp stepped jauntily away.
 "Well, did you land him ?" con. gressman asked the tramp"
 "No," the tramp answered, cheer fully. "No; gave him quarter to- wards his splendid national prepared ness campaign. "--Washington Star.

The Home Town.

Some folks leave home for money
 And some leave home for fame, Some seek skies always sunny,
 And some depart in shame. care not what the reason
 Men travel east or west, Or what the month or season,
 The home town is the best. The home town skies seem bluer
 Than skies thaC stretch away. The hometown friends seem truer
 And kinder through the day. And whether glum or cheery, Light-hearted or depressed, Or struggle fit or, weary,
 like the home town best Let him who will go wander
 To distant towns to live, Of some things I am fonder
 Than all they have to give. The gold of distant places
 Could not repay me quite For those familiar faces
 That keep the home town bright.

THE WARS Rk.

Some idea of the ruthless devasta- ton wrought by the great war in Europe may be had from the statistics gathered by the French Ministry of the Interior with view to ascertain ing as near as possible, the total dam- age caused by the hostilities, in France alone, since the beginning of the war.
 Up to the time the compilation was made it was found that no less than 753 towns, or communes, in France, had been totally or partially destroyed through military operations.
 Houses to the number of Is, 669 have been totally destroyed and 29, 594 par tially destroyed. In 148 towns the proportion of houses destroyed exceeds 50 per cent, while in "A towns the destruction is 80 per cent.
 Public buildings destroyed in 428 eommunes included 331 churches, 379 schools, 221 town halls, 300 other public buildings, including hospitals, asylums, and 60 bridges Of these 56 had been cIassed as historic monu. ments, including the Cathedral of Rheims, the Town Hall of Rheims, the Town Hall of Arras, etc.
 Three hundred and thirty factories, which supported 57,000 persons. were destroyed.
 Of the total of 36, 247 towns in all France, the Germans are in possession of 3, 554, or per cent.
 Of course these statistics convey only a partial estimate of the sum total of destruction. and do not take into &C., count the destruction of forests, crops, personal belongings, nor the enormous amount of guns, munitions, etc.5;sto say nothing of the incompatible havoc in lives lost and soldiers crippled and mangled, numbering hundreds of thousands.
 Such is war. And the pity of it all is, it is war without single moral principle to justify it-a war of jeal- ousy, greed and conquest.

Curious Transference of Heat.

A workman in the observatory at Toulouse has invited attention to a sin gular phenomenon. A bar of iron is taken by the end, and the other end is plunged into a fire, heating it strongly, but not so much that the hand cannot retain it's hold. The heated end is then plunged into a pail of cold water. I'm mediately the other end becomes so hot that it is impossible to hold it. This phenomenon, familiar to work men in iron, is ascrfbed by them to some repellent action they suppose the sudden cold exerts upon the heat con- tained in the. iron, which is thus driv- en to the opposite extremity.-Chicago Herald.
