Greece has given the world a Deouti ful object lesson. But it will leave her bankrupt and humiliated. An ounce of powder is worth a pound of sentiment in actual warfare. Tompkins is one of those gentlemen of kind disposition who are ever on the outlook for a chance to improve , their neighbors' mind. Seeing a urn. apparently a country fellow, si:v“>. hn 1 the fence, regarding the teVgraph wires carefully, Tompkins approached V.,™ „ . ««. w. '■Yes. sir.” the man replied, smiling.

He was a very small boy and very ragged, but there was a look In his eyes of sltrewd intelligence beyond his years. His left hand he held behind his back, but his right was extended, and between two grimy fingers he held a half-smoked stump' of a cigarette. He had his eye on a well-dressed man who wnf walking Jauntily along the street ; swinging bis cane. “Say, mister," said the boy, • gimme a match, will yer, please.’ The man stopped good-naturedly and smiled when he saw the dirty cigarette stump. He made a pretence of search lag his pockets fora match, ar .

A short time ago a! well-known yachtsman had among tile crew of his cutter a young German sailor who spoke very broken Island/Sound, English, while One night, in Long the yacht was sailing along the shore with a light breeze, a ordered heavy fog shut out the view. Carl was to keep heaving the lead, so that too close an approach to the shore in gbt be guard¬ ed againt. Poor Carl wfi.s in a dilem¬ ma. for he did not know) enough Eng¬ lish to pronounce the different sound¬ ings. However, he got the lead and line and went to the side,of the yacht, determined to do his bes . The breeze had died away, and [though the yacht was known nppreh^ded. to be i Far the land, danger was not. When Carl hove the lend he tl® covered shal¬ low water, and knew that a current was setting the boat inshore so he called, hut in rattier a low voice, for he was a little afraid that his language would be made fun of, “Nod much vasser here!” No one appeared to pay attention to him, so he threw the lead again, and advised, “Bedder get oud of here!” Just ther. the yacht slid up on the beach, and Carl.

The nxegaJphone is sim¬ ply a large cone from thirty to forty eight inches long, made! of waterproof fibre or light metal, Tjhe voice of a person speaking into t small end is carried easily a distance of a mile, while a loud call, whew neither wind heard nor obstructions the water, interfere, in may country he along on the shore distance j open of two or a miles. The instrument is often used as a receiver also. The small end is placed at the ear, and sounds firom a distance which would otherwise! be inaudible can be heard distinctly. The hands instru inent is usually held in the of the person who uses it, like a speak ing trumpet, but it is constructed so that it can he fixed to a tripod or a swivel, and the person using it may remain seated and direct it ‘To any point. By means of t ie megaphone the audience at nearly all open-air athletic, meetings are informed as to the winners, and at these places, as well as in the rowing world, it has be coine an invaluable "instrument.— New York Tribune. The Earth Always Ouaking. The severe earthquakes recently re¬ ported may cause another outbreak of earthqnake prophesying. It may he well to remember that the earth is quaking all the time, so the prophet always nits the nail somewhere, but the chance of death by earthquake is for these settled region ‘ of the globe much less than accidents while sitting around the evening meal.—Philadel¬ phia Press.
