At a recent meeting of the London Practitioners’ society Dr. Robert Abbe showed, in order to illustrate the pen- etrative power of radium, a_ photo- graphic plate .upon which a revolver had been photographed by a single grain of radium. The cartridge with which the revolver was loaded and the internal mechanism of the revolver ! were, clearly seen in the protograph, | demonstrating that the raps had pen- t etrated the steel. How to Tell Generous Husband. In, some parts of Siberia a bride- | groom, on arriving home, commands | his wife to take off his boots. In one} isa whip, and in the other a purse. The contents of the boot she first ! selects for removal presage whether he is to be generous or the reverse to | her. A very kind husband will put a purse in each boot and-omit the whip, to make her believe that her choice is auspicious. \ i } 1s UN AMERICAN Many Different Larguages and Strike ing Dialects Great Britain. It has been observed that the lan- guage spoken in the United States is remarkably uniform. True, there are many dialects, but Great Britain, less in ‘area than any of half a dozen states, contains such very different languages es English, Welsh and the Gaelic of the Scottish highlands, to say nothing of the provincial dialects of Cornwall and Yorkshire and the unique speech of the London cockney, while in this country, with its vast expanse of territory, its settlement by Spanish, ‘French, Dutch and Swedish colonists and its millions of immi- grants drawn from nearly every coun- iry, large. and small, all over the world, there is far greater uniformity of speech than in any other land of equal area and population. The causes can be readily seen. The public set30ls have made this a nation of readers and/‘he press has supplied books and papers without limit. Press associations have done their part toward giving a, uniform and fairly good tone tothe news- paper language of the day. The tele- graph, the telephone and cheap post- age have brought distant parts of the country into quick and easy commu- nication and so have aided in teach- ing a common language. The railroad has penetrated every corner of the land and made a nation of travelers. Countless human shut- tles thus are thrown daily across the land in every direction, carrying with them the threads’ of thought and speech and doing their part to make one pattern of the whole. SPEECH WHERE DEEPEST LOVE ABIDES. God’s Goodness Chiefly Felt by Those in Tribulation. Where is it, that God, in His search- ing of the hearts of His children, hears the tones of the deepest love, and sees on the uplifted face the light of the most heartfelt gratitude? Not where His gifts are most profuse, but where they seem mosi meage’ not where the suppliant’s worship glides forth from the cushion of luxury through lips saturated with plenty and rounded by health; not within the halls of successful ambition, or even the dwellings of unbroken domestic peace; but where the outcast, flying from persecution, kneels in the even- ing on the rock whereon he sleeps; by the fresh grave, where, as the earth is opened. heaven in answer opens too; by the pillow of the wast- ed sufferer, where the sunken eye, denied sleep, converses with a silent star, and the hollow voice enumerates in low prayer the scanty list of com- forts and the shortened tale of hopes, —Martineau. ‘ Proof That Dogs Can Think. The following facts, which I saw with my own eyes on repeated occa- sions, fully convinced me that ani- mals have the powers of memory and thought. I once had a_ three-parts bred black and tan terrier, which slept in a basket in my bedroom, that opened into the nursery. One of my children was, from ill health, very fractious, and whenever Tiny heard it cry she would go futo the nursery, hunt about until she found a squeak- ing rag doll, take it to the side of the cot and sitting up, shake it to amuse the child. If in doing this shé did not display powers of memory, thought and reflection, I utterly fail to see to what her clever performance could be attributed.—Correspondence in London Globe. ¥ ‘\ Truth Profoundly Expressed. The profound truth that to-morrow never comes, and yesterday, although it is always passing, has never been | witk us, has led a correspondent to throw off this little effort: “Although yesterday to-day was to-morrow, and to-morrow to-day will be yesterday, nevertheless yesterday to-morrow would be the day after to-morrow, be cause to-day would be to-morrow yes terday, and to-morrow will be to-day to-morrow, or would have been the day after to-morrow yesterday.” We thought as much.—London Answers.

When I asked a young man how, much his employer’s stockroom repre sented in the way of losses, he esti- mated that it would take a million | dollars to cover them,, but during this million dollar period his employer made four million dollars, so that everything went on cheerfully. Those who make money are not afraid of a reasonable amount of experimenta’ expense—Earl Pratt. Fresh Air th~> First Necessity.

Was “bonfire” originally written “bone-fire” and were “bone-fires” an- ciently so called from the burning of the martyrs? This is one theory of the origin of the word. From ancient times bonfires have formed a striking part of the celebration of St. John’s eve, or Midsummer eve, June 24, which was cbserved with similar rites In every country in Europe. Fires were kindled in the streets and mar- ket places of the towns. The young people leaped over the flames or threw flowers and garlands into them with merry shoutings and songs and dances. A heathen origin is believed to be indicated by these acts. A writer says: “On the whole it seems prob- able that the druidic fires, round which it was considered lucky to leap and dance on the occasion of fhe sum- mer solstice, were built up of contrt- butions brought by every one who wanted to secure his luck for.the com- ing year, and so bonfire is really a boon-fire.” Rode Too Fast for Tiger. Because he could ride a_ bicycle faster than a tiger could follow a priest in India recently escaped an unpleasant death. The Rev. Father Froger was riding quietly along the road when he saw what looked like a tiger sitting on a rock on the bare hillside above him. Says a report: “As he watched, the fact that it was a tiger became apparent and to Father Froger’s horror it sud@enly bounded straight down the ‘hillside and made for him. There was a slight incline in his favor in the road and he cycled for his life until the upward grade be came too steep and he had to get off. Apparently the beast did not pursue after he had lost sight of the cyclist, but the unprovoked attack is in it self an unusual occurrence.” The Contented Man. Contented? What makes him contented? The comforts, the struggles have gained. Which men discontented invented, The safety, that fighters obtained. Content in the mire would still wallow, With troglodytes huddled in caves, Or find in a tree’s ready hollow The shelter an animal craves. Content hinders progress and action And cultivates ignorant sloth, Counts study a sort of distraction, And Pities the follies of both. Content maketh freemen dependent, And fastens the shackles on slaves, ‘ts_motion is ever descendent To ditches and paupers’ sad gravea But the reverent. hearty submission To Deity’s fooistool, men_ bring, After toiling with little fruition, ls a Gifterent. manlier thing. J. Rerbert. MASTER OF MANY TRADES. Louisville Man Shouldn't Ba Very Long Out of a Job. The thriftiest man in the United States lives in Louisville. He has trades that fit any climate, season or time of the day. As an example of his wonderfu! versatility, a friend tells the following story of an average day in the life of this strenuous man. One morning iast week he started out with a rug to sell on commission for an installment house. He sold the rug, and then came back and took out a clock, which he also disposed of. About noon he was calied by an under taker to embalm a body, which he did. Another undertaker sent for him to drive a hearse to the cemetery, and after he had disposed of this errand Batisfactorily he preached a short ser- mon at the grave. He drove the hearse back to town and filled in an afternoon for a candy- maker who was taken suddenly ill. In the evening ne worked from 6 till 8 o’clock in a barber shop, and fron that hour until midnight set type on a daily newspaper. Admired the Judge’s Language. In the days when dentistry was not the science it is now the pounding of a hickory plug into the space between the teeth taking the place of modern bridgework, the elder Judge Peckham, who was noted for his picturesque flow of profanity, visited a dentist. The work had hardly started when the judge began to swear. When the tapping of the hickory plug increased in force his language became torrid and when, in time, the dentist gave the final blows the patient arose from chair and fairly shattered the atmosphere with a weird, terrible tor- rent of profanity. As the judge passed out the dentist remarked to a waiting patient: ‘Wasn't it peautt fui? It wasn’t really necessary te pound half so long, but I did so en- joy his inflection that I almost pound- ed the hickory plug into splinters. Wonderful command of language the judge has!” English Teachers Coming.

The natives of certain parts of In dia are in the habit every year, in the summer, of digging the dry river hanks for fish, which they dig out by sundreds, just as they would pota- toes. The mud lumps are broken open, and thé fish, perhaps 84n. or ‘-in. long, will always be found alive, -/! often frisky, as if just removed ron. “ts supposedly native element—« the vw:
