Swayed by a Bell's Tones.
The Church of St Nicaise, In the city
of K helms, Is surrounded with pillar*.
When a certain bell In the tower 1b
rung the top of one pillar always
sways to the extent of seven Inches on
each side, although the base Is Immov
able, and the stones are so firmly ce
mented as to seem like a solid piece of
masonry. Notwithstanding that each
of the four bells is about the same dis
tance from the trembling pillar none
of the others has the slightest effect
on it
Good Points of the Arabs.
Travelers ascribe to the Arabs many
virtues, says a bulletin of the National
Geographic society. .They are a proud
and earnest people, sharp witted, cou
rageous, temperate and hospitable, but
when wronged are bloodthirsty and
vengeful. One of their most striking
characteristics is their great love for
poetry. The children of the nomada
as well as the offspring of the fellahs
are early taught to read, write and
calculate, as might be expected of the
descendants of that race which gave
us our Arabic numerals.
Much Wood Flour Used.
More than 20,000 tons of wood flour,
valued at $300,000, are used annually
In the United States In two widely
different industries, the manufacture
of dynamite and the manufacture of
Inlaid linoleum. Wood flour Is also
used in making composition flooring,
oatmeal paper and in several other in
dustries. It forms one of the means
by which the huge waste product of
our lumber mills is beginning to find
some better means of disposal than the
burner.—Tree Talk.
Two Good Reasons.
Two men on the street car were talk
ing about u third mun.
•'Ever get Jim out to visit you?" the
first man asked.
"Nope, never can," was the reply.
"Been tryln' for eight years to get him
out, and he just keeps promisln* and
promising but he never comes. Always
says when he's a-workiu' he can't af
ford to lay off to come, and says when
he ain't a-workin' he can't afford to
take his savin's to come on, so I've
about give up gettiu' a visit out'n Jim."

Moslem Divorce.
Moslem writers and their supporters
In this country frequently emphasize
the superior status of the women of
Islam in comparison with their west
ern sisters. Some recent divorce court
proceedings bring to light the fact at
least that when a dissolution of the
marriage relation is desired in Moslem
lands the husbaud is the only one pos
sessing the right of divorce. The wom
an's only recourse appears to be to
change her religion, by which means
she automatically disposes of her hus
band.—Literary Digest
Experiencing God.
The mystics in all ages have Insisted
that, whether the process be named
"Instinct" or "intuition" or "Inner
sense" or "uprushes," the spirit of man
Is capable of immediate experience of
God. There is something in man, a
"soul center'' or an "apex of soul,"
which directly apprehends God. It Is
an immense claim, but those who have
the experience are as sure that they
have found a wider world of life as is
the person who thrills with the appre
ciation of beauty.—Itufus M. Jones In
Inner LLfe.
Punished For Looking Healthy.
In theda.vs of the Puritans the stocks
were not unknown as a penalty for
looking too healthy. Ruddiness of
complexion was a crime when a gaunt
visage was regarded as an outward
sign of sanctity. Dr. Echard, writing
In the early eighteenth century, re
marks: "Then it was they would
scarcely let a round faced man go to
heaven. If he had but a little blood in
his cheeks his condition was accounted
dangerous, and I will assure you a
very honest man of sanguine complex
Ion If he chanced to come nigh an offi
cial zealot's house might be set in the
stocks only for looking fresh on a
frosty morning."—London Chronicle.
Magnets In Needle Factories.
In factories where needles are maCe
the grindstones throw off great quan
tities of minute steel particles, al
though the dust is too fine to be per
ceptible to the eye. Breathing the dust
shows no immediate effect, but grad
ually seta up irritation, usually ending
In pulmonary consumption, and for
merly almost all the workmen died be
fore the age of forty. Ineffective at
tempts were made to screen the air
by gauze or linen guards for nose and
mouth. At length the use of the mag
net was suggested, and now masks of
magnetized steel wire are worn by
workmen and effectually remove the
metal dust before the air Is breathed.

ACT AS WELL AS WISH.
\
Good wishes are well, but good
actions are better. Anybody can
wish to live well. Almost every
body does. Even a criminal at
times desires goodness, but h«
does not carry the wish Into act,
and that is why he remains a
criminal. It is not a few faint
wishes, but a lifelong struggle
that makes us valiant.
