What the First Telegram Said.

Contrary to general belief, 'What
hath God wrought" was not the first
message to be sent by telegraph nor
was Morse the sender of the first COM
munication, says the Popular Science
Monthly. Instead, 1t was sent by one
Of the committee who were debating
upon the proposal of Morse the in
ventor, to string a telegraph line from
Baltimore to Washington. Mr.. Morse,
who wanted to end the discussion and
at the same time demonstrate his in
vention, strung wire from the COM
mittee room to the top of the capitol.
One Of the committee, who was op-
posed to President Tyler wrote, ''Tyler
deserves to be hanged" This was re-
ceived by the man at the other end ex-
actly as it was composed.

A GIGANTIC Meteor Stream.

One of the most accomplished and
assiduous students of meteors, Doctor
Denning, is of the opinion that the
August meteors, which radiate from
the constellation Perseus, and are
sometimes called the "Tears Of St.
Lawrence" belong to a stream so
broad that the earth, travelling be-
tween 1S and 10 miles a second, occu-
pies seven weeks in crossing 1t.
This would make the width Of the
stream, if the earth traversed 1t at a
right angle to its course, nearly 3d.
100000 miles. These meteors are so
scattered all around the orbit in which
they travel that some Of them are
visible every year. They are believed
to be connected with bright comet
which appeared in 1862 and is sup
posed to have a period of about 12O
years. The outer end of it's elliptical
meteor stream is situated far beyond
the orbit of Neptune.

Uncertainty of Opinion.

Don't be sure of your opinion. 1t is
the verdict of a few facts and yet
there are thousands of facts that give
no assistance in forming it. If there
were no other proof of the uncertainty
of opinion, the fact that it causes so
much dispute is sufficient Truth
causes no dispute. Think Of two men
auarreling over two and two make
four, action and recreation are equal,
water seeks it's own level, or the gold
en- rule. Men can love one another on
the platform of truth, but as soon as
they make a platform of opinion they
are at swords points. 1t is so in re-
ligion, politics, industry, society.
There is no true faith in anything
that is not based on love. When we
see men quarreling about religion they
are the devils own agents. They will
never get truth that way. Truth
comes through the heart. The three
things that combine in God are faith,
truth, love, and the greatest of these
is love, for without it the other two
are impossible. When it makes you
mad to have someone differ with you,
go off and pray for forgiveness.-Col-
umbus Ohio State Journal.

some hesitation, with even a little
diffidence, he lifted hand and

At once the door was opened by the
maid, Elise. Recognizing Ember, she
smiled and stood aside, making way
for him to enter the small, curtained
lobby.
"Madam-and monsieur" she said
with smiling significance, "told me to
show you in at once, Monsieur En-

From behind the curtains, Whita-
ker's voice lifted up impatient!y :
"That you, old man? Come right in !"
Nodding to the maid, Ember thrust
aside the portieres and stepped into

Taste and Temperature.

The sense of taste resides in little
f1ask-shaped pockets imbedded in the
skin of the surface of the tongue and
in the upper part of the throat. Each
of these bulbs has a fibril Of nerve
connecting it with the larger nerves of
its region. Anything to be tasted must
be in a dissolved or gaseous condition,
and differences in taste depend upon
the varying intensity with which the
impression is transmitted through the
nerves. 1t is not surprising, then, that
taste is much influenced by tempera-
ture and may temporarily be stopped
altogether by extreme heat or cold.
The sense of taste is, it appears,
strongest at a temperature between so
and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

tant Requisite.

What are your requirements of the
person whom you would marry?
That question was asked of the stu
dents in connection with the discussion
on convention" by Prof. L. L. Bernard,
in his sociology class in the University
Of Missouri, says the Kansas City Star.
Sixty-eight students, Al women and q
men, placed on the professors desk
anonymous statements in answer to
the question.
The tabulated opinions show the
women consider good moral habits as
the prime requisite. Nineteen women
make it the first requirement, six the
second requirement, eight the third re-
quirement, six the fourth requirement,
one the fifth requirement and one does
not mention it, evidently considering it
of no Importance.
Good social position is considered
most important by seven women, while
the average place this requirement in
fourth place.
Good income is held to be of prime
Importance by five women, while seven
teen hold it to be of secondary and ten
Of tertiary Importance.
Congeniality and good treatment is
placed among the first four requisites
by 81 women, three of whom make 1t
the first requirement.
One signifies her willingness to abide
with a middle-aged man, while Ii place
youth as fifth in importance.
One insists that good looks Is the
first essential in husband, while the
majority seem willing to waive this
quality after putting in requests for
good income, congeniality and a good
social position.
Just as the women require good
moral habits as the prime essentials
so the men insist on good character
and 20 demand it as the first require
ment.
While the women are more insistent
for intellectual ability, the men base
their faith on physical beauty. Five
men make it a first requirement, Is
make it a second requirement, while
no one places it below the fourth place.
All except five Of the men express an
opinion on congeniality but they do not
hold 1t as a high requirement and in
dicate their trust in character, youth
and beauty to include that quality.
The men are generally interested In
the training for home making, making
this requirement average fourth in i'm
portance. The men are decidedly in
terested in good heredity, while the
women make no mention Of 1t.
Two women and two men desire
their mates to be religious. One man
yearns for mutual infatuation and
places it as a third requirement in his
scheme of things for marital bliss. One
woman longs for sympathy and assigns
it in fifth place. One man insists on
sincerity and common sense while an
other requires musical talent in his
wife-to-be and a third demands his
wife must be economical.

uLD ever, with q scroll bearing
words of promise!
Long ago the gowns whose soft har-
monies delighted have faded; with the
vanishing years have gone the dainty
love tokens and the lover still the COW
enant remains and the golden glory of
the promise:
II am the resurrection and the life ~
Far above the high-backed pew the
minister's voice intones the Easter
text.
Stretch as she may her fat little
chubby neck, baby Anne cannot see
the minister; so she gives herself over
to thoughts of glories of her new Eas-
ter toilette; round, pink-faced maid
en- she is, sitting straight and proper
as becomes her years she counts ex-
actly five; in new little gown, low of
neck and short of sleeves, and a very
round, short, little skirt; monstrous
scoop bonnet, tied with fat pink little
bows under her fat, pink little chin.
Admiring contemplation of her two
white-stockinged legs, projecting from
beneath stiffiy starched pantalettes, is
intermingled with pleased anticipations
of soon beholding the fat pink, also
green blue and red eggs, awaiting her
at home after the Easter service.
The minister's voice soothes like lap
ping waves; of a sudden the proprie-
ties of 1916 are forgotten; little Anne's
golden head falls against her grand
mothers shawled arms, and she
sleeps!
81 am the resurrection and the life!"
Again the words of the Easter text
fall upon Miss" Anne's ears un-
needed.
This Easter lover in uniform
stands by her side; about him all Of
her thoughts center.
His gift is the nosegay in the silver
flower holder that bangles from the Sill
yer ring on her finger.
The new Easter toilette is even

and it's modishness planned to win IA
vor in his eyes?
Silver poplin it is, with tight-f1tting
waist, pointed in froat and in back,
but it's full splendor reserved for skirt
effects, of yards Of close-gathered, glis-
tening breadths, falling over an
enormous crinoline, but lifted on one
side to reveal the coquetry of scarlet
satin petticoat; crocheted net of
scarlet chenille confines her black
curls, and scarlet are the loops of vel
vet that fall in a curtain from the
back of her tiny triangle of bonnet.
The minister and his world are so
far away.
Life-and the joy of Easter lilies,
and love, are so near!

Time of Rejoicing for Russians.

Moscow is the center Of the religious
as well as the civic life of Russia. On
Easter day the wan faces of the hum
bier people, who have observed the
fasts and abstinence of Lent, glow with
the zealot's confidence that their pray
ers will be answered, and they kneel
at the Easter mass and, with bright
eyes. seem enwrapped in the mystery
of the holy presence.
There are no seats, for prince or
pauper, in the churches, this custom
following that observed in st. Peters
at Rome, where, should royalty appear,
the only seat to be had would be a
stool rented for few pennies from
beggar near the door,
The civic exercises joyously follow
those of the church, and the priests
and monks heartily enter with their
people into the enjoyment Of the fes-

monies. Throughout the eastern world

ended in a GLORIA in Excelsis."
