Th Practical Man and the BelentUt. For the sake of illustrating the difference between the practical man and theorist, let us suppose two persons to visit the northern peninsula of Michigan seeking for iron. The one runs along blindly, takes up with every good show, and mines. The result is, he eithet makes a happy strike by mere accident or spends thousands of dollars in useless ' search. The other has studied the laws of electricity, and knows that certain ores of iron are magnetic. He understands also that these ores will exert their influence through any amount of superincumbent earth. Consequently he provides himself with a dipping needle and compass, and by the operation of these tells where a bed is located, its approximate depth and probable amount of material. To being deceived by the magnetic prevent ' schists in that region, by means of his dipping needle and compass he traces np the bed until he finds an outcrop. Thus have been located, at little expense, many of the mining regions of that locality. What an achievement is this, and how much better than the blind guesses of the so called practical man! W. H. Smith, M. IX in Popular Science Monthly. Occupation In H.aT.n. A little Vermont friend aged four stood by the window as the family physician drove by with a smile and a bow for his little favorite. A moment later she turned from the window with a sigh and said, "Mamma, isn't it too bad that Dr. Blank can't go to heavenf ' "Why, Jessier said mamma in surprise, "What makes you think he can't go to heavenr "Why, of course he won't go," said Jessie, "There's nobody sick there, and they won't need any doctors." Little Jessie's original idea was told to the clercyman, who called a day or two later, who said that he should consider that "a knock down argument" against the theory that we are to continue our present occupations in the future life. A popular physician en hearing the above said that he did not Bee why the doctors had not as good a chance as the ministers, for surely there would be no souls to save in the better laud. Rochester Free Press. A French Barber'. Juk. Everybody knows that little joke of a barber at the expense of a young who, glowing with pride at the discovery, fancied or real, of the first appearance of tender down on his chin, hurried off to the hairdresser's to get shaved. The wily Figaro offered him a chair, placed a napkin around his neck, covered his fuce with the fragrant lather and thsn walked away to attend to other business, Apparently quite oblivious of his new customer. Growing impatient, the latter at length exclaimed. "Well, what are you waiting for?" "For the beard to ffrow," was the barber's reply. Le Petit Parisien. "Ly-ceen- PRINTING AND BINDING.

For a considerable time the Old Colony railroad has had in use a piston valvs packed with Tripp's packing, this device, according to the report, giving no trouble from leakage, which is the great objection to the plain piston valve. The port does not have to be bridged, the packing being such that it cannot fall out or catch on the edges ot the port, and to give a still larger area of port opening with the same travel of valve, square piston valve has been devised. The latter is sixteen inches wide and about three inches high, and for a certain Width of opening admits steam past th upper and side edges as well as the seat opening, thus more than doubling tht area of opening for th same travel of valve. This applies aa well to the exhaust as the steam edge, giving a quick release as well as admission of steam. Being of the piston type, the valve is balanced, and, to keep it steam tight, is packed on top and at the aides. The packing is an inch thick all around, and, a it is held out by springs, an exceas oi pressure in the cylinders will cause the valve to lift from the seat, acting as a relief into the chest. This device, therefore, is said to possess all the advantages of the simple slide valve, and in addition practically double ported and balanced. New York Sun. In tloct la Kuota. There seems to be an orderly instinct in roots that cannot be accounted for. When the seed sprouts and the stem starts upward to make the trunk, one bud pushes down into the earth to form a top root What it is that gives the order for one to push up and one to push down is incomprehensible. But, more than this, while the top root is descending deep into the ground, as if to anchor the tree securely against wind and storm, other roots start to grow hori-sotally just beneath the surface of tbc ground. These surface roots are at first but mere fibers. When the autumn arrives, and the leaves fall, most of these fibers die also, leaving only a few to live over, and these become permanent surn face ATI RFAG TION GUARANTEED.

We know why some live to become permanent roots, as against the thousands which die. We say they are gifted with greater vital power. They were able to get more nutrition than the others, and nutrition to some extent means vigorous life but in what way this ordering of some roots to go down as anchors, and the others to spread out near the surface where food is, to act as feeders, ii just as deep an unsolved problem as it was hundreds of years ago. Thorn a Meehan in Philadelphia Ledger. Truth Coat Him BU Fnlpit, Rev. Dr. Lucas was seated among a small assemblage of friends in Postmaster Thompson's room, making an honest effort to forget that the thermometet was hugging the nineties. He said, "1 once knew a minister to lose his pulpit by telling the truth." Being asked to explain he said: "While stationed in Iowa I became acquainted with a minister who was a forcible speaker, but was deficient in education, and occasionally committed some grave misdemeanors against the king's English. One Sunday evening, while speaking rapidly, he committed a gross assault on Lindley Murray. "No sooner had the sentence escaped hiB lips than he stopped and said: 'I am aware that my education is deficient. I regret that 1 did not have the advantage of good schools while a boy. If I had been more fortunate in that regard I would now be preaching to a more intelligent congregation.' The minister told the truth, but that was the last time he preached in that church."
