ELECTRIC SPARKS.
Simple Homemade Apparatus by Which
They May Be Produced.
The ordinary person either does not
understand or is afraid of electricity
and could scarcely be persuaded to
manufacture it himself, and yet after
all a little electrical experiment at
home is both amusing and instructive.
All that you have to do is to take a
glass, expose it to the tire so that it
shall be perfectly dry and place it up
side dowu upon the table.
Afterward take a tray, also perfectly
dry, and place it upon the glass In
such a way that it shall preserve Its
equilibrium. Finally take a sheet of
paper slightly smaller than the tray,
heat it and rub It rapidly with a brush,
and it will become quickly electrified.
Then place it upon the tray.
Au electrical machine will thus have
been constructed without any expense.
If the finger be brought near the tray
a spark will appear. This spark will
he so much the brighter and the series
of sparks will be so much the longer in
proportion as the glass and tray are
drier. ..
If. when the sparks are being drawn
from the tray, the room In which the
experiment is performed be darkened
these sparks will appear extremely
brilliant.—Pearson’s Weekly.
Here’s a Tangle.
How easy it Is to mix up the aver
age business man was demonstrated
the other day when the son of a local
merchant leaned against his father's
knee and innocently asked:
"Daddy, Is today tomorrow?”
“No. my sou. of course today Isn't
tomorrow," answered the father.
“Cut you said it was,” continued the
son.
“When did 1 ever say today was to
morrow?"
“Yesterday,” answered the son.
“Well, It was; today was tomorrow
yesterday, but today Is today, just ns
yesterday was today yesterday, but is
yesterday today, and tomorrow will be
today tomorrow, which makes today
yesterday and tomorrow all at once.
Now run along and play,” and the fa
ther collapsed into his chair with a
sigh of relief.—Louisville Times

OUR MEDAL OF HONOR.
More Difficult to Win Than Any For
eign Military Decoration.
Americans of average Information
know about the Victoria Cross, the
Iron Cross, the Cross of the Legion of
Honor. These are rewards of hero
ism which would mark a man above
his fellows even In this forei.su laud.
Hut how many Americans know whut
a medal of honor is?
How many Americans know tlint the
modest American soldiers who wear
tko medal of honor wear a decoration
that is among the rarest and most ditll
cult to win among military honors?
The Cross of the Legion of Honor,
established by Napoleon in 1S02, while
founded to signalize deeds of special
daring in war. was after given freely
for civil distinctions. Nearly 40,000
German soldiers were decorated with
the Iron Cross in the seven mouths of
the Franco-Prusslan war. while in the
more Gian half century since the crea
tion ot our honor roll only 3.0S8 have
been granted, and of these nearly OoO
were given under a mistaken reading
of the law.
The holder of the medal of honor
must have 'distinguished himself con
spicuously by gallantry and intrepidity,
it tin* risk of his life, beyond the call
of duty." This standard, which bars
out action, however brave, in the
course of duty and includes only nets
of daring which a man might refuse
or avoid without rebuke Is said to he
unequaled.—Chicago Tribune
Bismarck's Story on Eloquence.
Bismarck once warned the reiehstag
against eloquence, lie told a story of
old Frederick William 1.. who listened
to two lawyers on opposite sides of a
question. Knell of them convinced
Frederick William that he was fight,
whereat the old king "fell into such a
furious passion with the effects of elo
queuce that both orators got Into seri
ous trouble through the very excel
leuce ot their persuasive powers.”—
