In the United States supreme court
instead Of many Bibles we find but one
small volume, now celebrated a. the
Justices Bible, used continuously dur
ing all the years since 1900 for the In
stallation of oaths Of all the justices
and the pledging Of allegiance OF all
the attorneys who have practiced BE-
fore that court. No wonder that on an
average for about every decade Of this
period new or extra outside cover Of
black leather has been required to keep
the red morocco binding Of the little
book In such freshness as It still pos
sesses. This Bible is FIVE and half
inches long and three and half inches
wide, and tradition says that it formed
one Of 10000 which congress imported
in the early days Of the republic to re-
neve the Scriptural dearth of the coun-
try. The title page shows that 1t was
printed at Oxford In 1880. This Bible
has always been In the. care Of the
clerk Of the supreme court-Christian

Tribute TO q Doo

To the mind Of the true dog lover
there are few human passions not
shared in by the dog. The dog Is sub
ject to anger, jealousy, hatred, envy.
love and grief, and it shows gratitude,
pride, courage, generosity and fear. 1t
sympathizes with its master In bis
troubles, and there are numerous cases
on record where dogs have rendered
the most valuable kind Of service at
great risk to their own safety and COM
fort. The dog has an excellent men,
DRY, it is capable Of assOciating ideas,
and it's judgment Is often singularly
correct These are the qualifications
which raise the dog above all other
animals and fit him for the compan-
ionship of man. 1t has the physical
and intellectual faculties that never
fail to arouse our love and admiration.
Pet and companion Of old folks, guar
dian and playmate Of children, friend
and servant OF man. behold the dog!
Long live this noble animal!-WuliAm

Safatx First For lnxeators.


A conservative policy would prompt
all buyers Of securities to invest at
least PARTON of their capital in sound
bonds. Many investors have prefer
ence exclusively for stocks because the
latter may render a higher yield or
may fiuctuate more widely, thus offer
Ing larger chances for speculative
profit. Dividend paying shares Of the
seasoned sort are not to be belittled,
and they will perhaps always form the
major portion of the average fnves-
tors purchases. There is reasonable
safety in them. But f1rmer corner
stones of fortune are found in the
better class bonds. These are not neces-
sarily gilt edged, but they are well Sc
cured. In times of prosperity the issu-
ing corporations have no difficulty In
meeting interest charges. In times Of
depression dividends on stocks may be
suspended, but the enterprise must
pay interest on its bonds or submit to
foreclosure. And in such event the
bondholder rarely suffers loss. Their
high degree of stability and safety
commends good bonds as an indispen-
sable part of any well established es-
tate-Leslie's Weekly.

Rain After Thunder.

Why does a heavy downpour Of rain
often follow q clap of thunder? asks
the Popular Science Monthly, and gives
this answer: Not. as is popularity be-
heved, because the thunder jostles the
cloud particles together into raindrops.
In the violent turmoil between the pos
tive and negative electricity In q
thundercloud there will be places
where the production Of drops by con-
densation and their subsequent break
ing up proceeds more rapidly than else
where. Hence In these places there
will be more drops to fall as rain and
also more electrification, the rainfall
occurring about the same time us the
fash.
We have, then, starting toward the
earth at the same time, light, sound ana
raindrops. The light, travelling at a
speed Of about $4,000 miles Per sec.
ond, reaches US almost instantly. The
sound travels far more slowly-about
1000 feet per second-but the rain falls
much more slowly still. Thus we OBJ
serve, first, the lightning. then the thun
der and then the rain.

Lungs Of the Whale.

Concerning the breathing apparatus
of the whale an eminent naturalist
says: 1.-The windpipe does not COM
municate with the mouth. A hole Is.
as it were, bored right through the
back of the head. Engineers would
do well to copy the action of the valve
of the whales blow hole. A more per-
feet piece of structure it is impossible
to imagine. Day and night asleep or
awake, the whale works his breathing
apparatus in such a manner that not
a drop of water ever gets down into
the lungs Again, the whale must of
necessity stay a much longer period
under water than seals. This alone
might possibly drown him, -inasmuch
as the lungs cannot have access to
fresh air We find that this difficulty
has been anticipated and obviated by
a peculiar reservoir In the venOus sys-
TEN, which reservoir is situated at the
back of the lungs"

Your Watch and the Sun.

In addition to telling you the time OF
day your watch may be used for keep
ing track of the sun. When the orb OF
day finishes its days journey and dis
appears in the west note the time by
your watch. Then draw a horizontal
line Imaginary, of course) from the
point of the hour hand to the opposite
side Of the dial. The time indicated by
the line ON this side will be the time
at which the sun rises In the morning.
Thus if the sun sets at s at night the
line shows that it will rise at in the
morning; If 1t sets at Z 1t will rise at o;
if at it will rise at Z, and so on.

A Motorcar Race In 1895,

In 1895 few enthusiastic "horseless
carriage" manufacturers decided that
the time was ripe for a race. as we
look back at 1t now the contest was

bravely and then stopped lamely while
their drivers made repairs. One In.

labor. Trouble At Knoxville.

Knoxville, Aug. &c. A. Lair, con-
tractor on the new high school building
was struck on the head and arm by
Ratchet in the hands Of Ralph Mueller
and seriously injured. The act came as
a result of a disagreement between Lair
who was the boss, and Mueller, who
was a workman, over some Of the work
that was to be done. 1t is said that
Mueller was ordered to do some work
and becoming angered struck Lair over
the head and on the arm with a
Ratchet inflicting wound on his head
about two inches long and one on his
arm about the same. 1t is thought that
IAtr's hat saved him from more Sc.
rious If not fatal injury as the blow
cut through his felt hat and hat band
before reaching his skull.
preliminary trial was held in JUS
tice Brobts court where Mueller was
bound over to the grand jury under q
bond of $1,000.
