We find in the editorial section of the The Southern Preshyterian, which is always sound in sense as weil as editorially, the following: ‘‘in ‘Loslie’s Weekly’ we read that Rev, Joseph A. Serena, of the Cen tral Church of Christ, Disciples, at Syracuse, N. Y |, has announc ed that a soda fountain wou!d be placed in the lobby of his church, avd that refreshing soft drinks would be served to the people in the pews. The foolishness of this s obvious, 'Ths one motive to which Christians may appeal for the discharge of duty is love to Christ. The soda fountain at traction will prove distracting to serious thought.”” We should say so. If 1t is fitted with mirrors ‘there will be the female members of the congregation—and where they are, there will also be gath ered together the members of the opposite sex. The only way to -give them the drinks ard the gos pel at the same time wonld be to have a combination soda-jerker and pastor all 1u ove, and let him preach across the marble slab,— ‘Golden Age. Some people are goirg to dis cover after awhile that religion isn’t judged by the church contri ‘bations list. Surf Bathing. l The oft repeated warning to surf bathers, and particularly to those who dive, to protect thejr cars from | the water by cotton pf;gs, ete., isl not generally heeded, to judge by the damage often traced to its neg lect, says a medical journal. They who have lost the membrana need 1o be especially careful and to give ap diving. The tympanum is readi ly protected by the cotton plugs firmly introduced, but in diving even then the air in the nasal fossae, accessory sinuses and naso pharynx is compressed and partially escapes by the eustachian tubes, and in con sequence the water enters so far and high in the nasal fossae as to pain fully irritate the pituitary mem-‘ brane and leads to protracied con _gestion. Kept Him Posted. "Some years ago a railway porter rwrote to Admiral Beresford of the -British navy saying, “Our home has “been blessed with twing, and 1 write' “te ask your Jordship if you will ask ‘the Princess of Wales if we may‘ <zall'the little cirl Princess of Wales Brown and the little boy Lord Charles Bere<ford Brown.” Lord! “Charles procured (he necessary per mission from the princess and sent ‘lt, together with his own. A monthl‘ later came the following from the same man: “My loxd, I am happy ! to inform you that Lord Charles Beresford Brown is well and hearty and that Princess of Wales Brownl wadied this morning.” A Compliment. l "The heavy viliiin of the barn storming aggregation stalked into the workshop of the village editor, | “What did you mean by referring to me as a ‘misfit’ in your write-up * of the performance last night ?”” he roared. “I meant,” answered the local molder of opinion, “that you were entirely too great for the company you were with.” And the heavy villain, being a stranger to the ways of village ed itors, believed him.—Kansas City Independent. Always Happy. ‘She—Papa belicves in the pleas ures of anticipation. He-+Do you agree with him ? She—Oh, yes, indeed. In the summer he profnises to buy me a =ealskin coat the following winter if I’ll give up going to the seaside, and in tile winter he promises to send e to the seaside the following sum mer if I give up the sealskin coat, 80, you see, I am always happy. QUEER ACTIONS OF WATCH. in Some Way Timepieces Are Influ enced by Wearers. “It does not look reasonable to believe that the personality of the wearer wollld have anything to do with the running of a watch,” said a watchmaker, “but I recently had an expetience which satisfied me that in some mysterious way the watch and its owner beeome in part at least identified. “An engineer employed in a large manufacturing establishment bought a watch from me about three years ago. It was a good watch, too, and he paid a high price —lmore, indeed, than a man in his line could have been expected to ay. Three months after he brought {:ack the watch, saying that it would not keep time. I gave him another, put -the watch in my drawer and regulated and set it after I had looked it over, and for three weeks that watch didn’t vary ten seconds a day. I returned it when the engi neer called, and in less than a month he came back again with the same complaint. [ examined most carefully every part of the mechan ism. Everyt.ing was right, and the watch kept excellent time, and yet a few weeks later here it was again, the engineer as mad as a wet hen and intimating that I had sold him a bad watch. “I was completely puzzled by the antics of the watch, for I knew the man well enough to be convinced that he would not complain with out cause, so I suspected that there must be something in the way he handled or wore the watch that made the trouble. He told me that his brother was night engineer in the establishment where he worked by day. They lived in the same room. Each had paid half the price of the watch, and each carried it, one by day and the other by night. I didn’t see that that would make any difference in the runming of the watch, but as I couldn’t find anything the matter with it I gave him a cheap watch and told him to wear the good watch himself or ]g& his brother wear it, no matt which. ' “Six months after I met the en gineer and asked him about the watch. It ran all right, he said, ever sifice his brother quit wearing it. I then asked him to let his brother wear it for a few months, and after a little irregularity at first the watch still kept good time. Of course one case like that doesn’t prove anything, but I have heard of others, so am more than half con vinced that in some queer way a watch is influenced by the wearer.” —~Cleveland Plain Dealer. Modified His Remark. From the Georgia legislature of the days before the war comes a story of the effect of parliamentary procedure. James Hamilton Coop er was speaking and madé a remark able statement of fact. A modest legislator exclaimed half under his breath, “Whew, what a thundering lie”” Cooper suspended his speech, having overheard the remark, and challenged the offender to a duel. A court of honor was arranged, which resulted in Cooper giving permission to the luckless wight to modify his remark. The correction was made in this manner: “Mr. Speaker, in an inadvertent moment [ referred to a remark made by the honorable gentleman as ‘a thunder ing lie.” I desire to withdraw that statement and in lieu thereof will say, ‘lt is a fulminating enlarge ment of elongated veracity.’” Thus sugar coated the speech gave no oc cagion for a duel. Women of Yezzo. The women of the island of Yez zo, whence it is supposed came the original inhabitants of Japan, have a very peculiar custom of making up their faces to look as though they have mustaches. These wom en are called Ainus, and upon the upper lip of each Ainu belle is tat toced something that resembles a long, flowing mustache. To pos sess an artistically tattooed orna ment of this kind marks a woman as especially attractive, and her chances of making a good matri monial alliance are very small if she i 3 not thus adorned. As a mat ter of fact, the men of the island choose their spouses more for the beauty of this tattooed design than the grace of form or charm of fea ture. A Cold Spot. There is a small town in the val ley of the Lena, in Siberia, called Werchajansk, which is believed to be one of the coldest places on the carth. Hundreds of people have lived there to a ripe old age, and yet the thermometer has heen known to descend to 98.4 degrees below zero. The average temperature in Wer chajansk during the winter months is 74.8 degrees below zero. The Werchajansk <oil is permanently frozen to a depth of 380 feet, and yet during the month of July the temperature of Werchajansk is on the averace G) degices above wero. - e . Why It Is That Animals Are Not Ca } pable of Laughter. ~ Probably every one has wondered, says Professor Kranberger of Vien na, why animals always have a seri ‘ous aspect, even when they are evi dently pleased. When a dog wags his tail with pleasure, he comes as near laughing as it is possible for Jhim fo come, but his countenance, except for the gleam of joy in his eyes, 18 no more suggestive of laugh ter than if he were suffering an ag ony of pain. Neither are his quick, sharp barks, which usually accom pany the wagging of the tail, even remotely analogous to laughter. And as for the so called “l-aug%l” of the hyena—that, of course, is pure ly metaphorical. Man is the only animal that laughs. Why? .150 understand the reason for this it will be necessary first to under stand what causes laughter. “The sudden perception of an unexpected incongruity,” says Her bertxgpencer; ; But this does not go far enough. Brutes are capable of perceiving in congruities. The incongruity must be between an object or event and the idea which we have formed of it. So, for instance, what can be more mirth provoking to a boy than to see the wind blow the hat from the head of a dignified man and the latter go scurrying after, making frantic but vain attempts to recap ture it? A million horses or dogs or mon keys might look on and never feel amused, whereas there is probably not a lad in all creation that would not laugh with glee—not, forsooth, because the horses, dogs and apes are wiser, but because the boy sees the double incongruity between the runaway hat and the idea of the proper use of hats and between the Idea of what is becoming to dignity and the sudden lapse from that standard by the dignified man. What, it may be asked, is to pre vent any of the other animals from seeing the incongruities ? Simply this—<hat man is the only animal that has ideas. Ideas are formed by reason and can be grasF ed only by reason, and, as it is only by comparison with ideas that the incongruity in question arises, lack of reason forever precludes animals from enjoying a laugh.—New York World. A Raw Egg. A raw egg is one of the most nu tritious of foods and may be taken very easily if the yolk is not broken. A little nutmeg grated upon the egg, a few drops of lemon juice add ed, some chopped parsley sprinkled over it or some salt and a dash of cayenne pepper vary the flavor and tend to make it more palatable when not taken as a medicine. The white of a raw egg turned over a burn or scald is most sooth ing and cooling. It can be applied quickly and will prevent inflamma tion, besides relieving the stinging pain. One of the best remedies in case of bowel troubles is a partly beaten raw egg taken at ome swallow. It is healing to the inflamed stomach and intestines and will relieve the feeling of distress. Four eggs tak en in this manner in twenty-four hours will form the best kind of nourishment as well as medicine for the patient. The Contradicting Habit. A natural habit of every child is to contradict, and this should be overcome as soon as a boy or a girl develops it, for of all disagreeable and overbearing persons those who aggressively contradict are among the worst. Parents cannot be too particular in teaching their sons and daughters to disagree courte ously, which is not at all incompati ble with doing®it positively. “I beg your pardon, but you are mistak en,” is quite as much of a contradic tion as saying, “It isn’t,” and it is far better manners. “I think you are mistaken,” is another way of ex pressing the opinion. A mother need not be afraid of making her child a prig by teaching him such little things. They are as impor tant to him as a knowledge of how to speak gmmnmtically.~~—i§xchange. Long Distance Views. A young man whose eyes had been troubling him consulted an oc ulist. *“What you want to do,” said the specialist, “is to take a trip every day on the ferry or in New Jerscy, Long Island—any place where you can see long distances. Look up and down the river, across fields or if the worst comes to the worst go to the top of a skyscraper and scan the horizon from tgat point. The idea is to get distance. You use your eyes a great deal and always at close range. You can’t use them any other way in town. Even when not reading or writing the vision is limited by small rooms and parrow streets, No matter in what direction you look there is a blank wall not far away to shut oft sight.”—New York Sun. - Ve vy v ‘s » The Russian Wolkoff’s Attempted Imi tation of the Pasteis. One evening thicre was a conviv ial gathering of men from many different nations scated about a ta ble in an open court of the Bauer ranwald, a well known Venetian restaurant. The conversation, I*be lieve, was in English, and the sub ject of Whistler's pastels was brought up by one 6f his enthusi astic American admirers. A Rus sian named Wolkoff was flippant and depreciating, ridiculing them as works of art, jeeringly saying that he was willing to bet that he could make half a dozen pastels as good as Whistler’s, and, if they were mixed yith his, nobody could tell them apart. The American was surprised at this attitude and re marked: “I'll bet a champagne dinner for all ‘pre;sent that you can’t.” “All right, I'll take your bet and prove what I say, but I will make one condition only, and it must be agreed upon by all present: I must ;be permitted to see Whistler’s pas tels before I begin.” ~ “I will agree to that and arrange a day when vou can see them.” All this was unknown to Whis tler, who was innocent of the reason for the call of his Russian guest. He received him charmingly and showed him all his pastels. These he pinned on large cardboards, care fully, almost ceremoniously, and placed them before him upon a chair that served as an casel. This was the usual way he exhibited his pastels or etchings at home. The Russian was not heard from for six weeks. Then the committee in charge was informed that he could not go on because he found it im possible to E)urchase in Venice the peculiar brilliant pastels with which Whistler obtained his effects. The American would not let him slip through in that way, so he man aged to make it possible for his Rus sian friend to select numerous small pieces from‘ Whistler’s own pastel boxes. He selected all he wanted or thought he needed for the easy task of making a Whistler pastel‘ and after this exceptional accommo dation returned to his work, saying he would be ready for the jury in a week. How or by whom the six jurors were selected 1 do not know, but I remember that two strangers, an ‘Austrian and a Dutchman, were among them. Spain was represent ed by Martin Rico, England by Hen rv Woods, R. A., and America by Frank Duveneck and myself. By this time Whistler knew the wager. The jury met in a house on the Riva not far from the Casa Jankovitz, near enough for him to bring his pastels conveniently. The meeting was a very long room facing the lagoons. The American who had accepted the wager was not there. Wolkoff was at home, sick in bed. Whistler was in the darkest and farthest corner, with his back to the company and his pastels on a long table. I was selected to bring. each exhibit from Whistler’s hands and place it on a high backed chair. It was an extraordinary position in which Whistler was placed and a veritable ordeal which he faced. He was serious and wore a troubled look, the truth being that he was nervous at the pessibility that the jury might let one of the Russian’s pastels slip by as one of his own. I am glad to say, however, that when ever a Wolkoff appeared it was in stantly received with groans and shouts of “Take it away!” Not for one moment was there the least doubt or a dissenting voice.—Otto Bacher in Century. A Bad Mix. Mr. Gladstone, speaking of Mr. Parnell on one oceasion, made use of the oft quoted phrase “Marching through rapine to the dismember ment of the empire.” On the same day there was a horse race in which the winners were respectively Ve racity, Tyrone and Lobster. These facts were cabled to New Zealand together in the wusual shorthand style of the cable. The result was that next day the New Zealand pa pers contained the following ex traordinary paragraph: “Mr. Glad stone denounced Mr. Parnell as warching through rapine to the dis memberment of the empire and said that the Irish leader had the verac ityof a Tyrone lobster.” Tested His Friends. An Irishman who died in the early part of the nineteenth century in one of the outlying parishos of London undertook to test the devo tion of his friends and acquaint ances by making out a list of 400 of them, who were requested by written invitation to attend his fu neral, which was held at ¥ o’clock one cold winter morning in the parish church. Only twenty-nine persons appeared. When his will was opened, it was found that, hav ing no natural heirs, he ordered his fortune to be divided among the persons who attended his funeral,— I.onden Mail. { - ».i o b £ Y 7013 /] ~ \ L YR E) R you want to deposit will" be safe in The First National Bank.
