Electric Wire "Don'ts."

Some safety hints for the wise,
which are intended to guard against
serious accidents and possible loss OF
life, are being sent out broadcast by
the electric light companies. From
them, observes Popular Science Month.
ly, may be selected the following: Do
not cover an electric globe with paper
or cloth. It may start fire. Do not
hang an ordinary lamp cord over a
nail or metal work. Do not leave a
cord connected when you are through
with It. Do not touch any wire that
Is down on the ground, whether it is
an electric, telephone or guy wire. In
an emergency, remove a wire with an
instrument equipped with wooden
handle, keeping the full length of the
handle between yourself and the wire.

Service Of tho Horse.

Dobbin's humble brother, the ass,
helped to save the Child from Herod's
knife, and another carried the Christ
over Jerusalem's palm-strewed way.
From crusader to circuit rider, OBJ
serves the Washington Star, the horse
has borne Christianity to earth cor
ners that could never have been plod-
ded by man. He has Suffered the fam
ines and thirsts Of every missionary
who ever rode him, and has died the
martyrs death with no hope OF q
martyrs reward. And, since his sinless
body, burdened by man and book, bore
the added toll Of travel, what right
have we to presume that he who
marked the sparrow's fall will apotheo-
size the evangelist and disregard the
beast?
