• The Greatest Geologist.
The royal name in geology Is un
doubtedly that of Charles Lyell. It
was Lyell who did for geology what
Copernicus did for the heavens and
Darwin for the realm of biology—gave
It true rendering by finding out and
stating its true laws. Before Lyell’s
time geology was largely romance, but
In “The Principles of Geology," pub
lished In 1830, the old catastrophic
view of the formation of the earth
heard Its deathknell, and from the pub

BULLET AND^ BIBLE.
One Tried to Take a Man's Life, While
the Other Saved It.
To illustrate the bullet resisting pow
ers of papers, a veteran war corre
spondent brought for the inspection of
some of his journalistic colleagues a
pocketbook filled with photographs and
papers arid a Bible, each of which on
separate occasions hud been Instru
mental in saving his life in the course
of tiie Busso-Turkish war.
In one Instance he was knocked off
Ills horse by the impact of a bullet and
became unconscious, only to find on re
gaining his senses that the friendly
wallet had prevented the bullet enter
ing his body. On the second occasion,
at Plevna, the Bible, which lie had
| placed in a side pocket, deflected a
heavy piece of shrapnel ttiat threaten
i ed to end Ids existence.
lie had kept tho wallet intact as a
i memento of his escape, and one of tho
journalists who was examining its
contents came, by a curious coinci
dence, upon a letter which he himself
had Indited to tho war correspondent
some thirty or forty years ago, the
very existence of which he had en
tirely forgotten.
In the letter he had expressed tho
hope that his friend would return safe
and sound from the seat of war. The
words “safe and sound” had been al
most cut away by tho bullet which,
l but for tiie providential interposition
of the bundle of papers, would proba
lily have ended the war correspond
ent's life.—Nottingham Guardian.
GOOD ROADS AND THRIFT.
France Sets an Example the Rest of
the World Might Follow.
Good farms and good roads go to
gether. Good roads mean cheaper haul
ing prices, better profits—therefore
more money. The wealth of a nation
Is the wealth of its population. The
population of the country of France is
known to be the most thrifty, the least
poverty stricken and the best provided
for of any country In the world. And
France has a better road system and
more good roads in proportion to its
urea than any other country of the
same or greater size. lias Frauce ru
ral wealth because of its good roads or
has it good roads because of its thrifty
peasantry?
It is, therefore, for us in this country
to look upon Frauce not only as a good
example, but as the example of the
fulfillment of dreams. We cannot
solve our problem in any other way
than as France has solved hers with
any surety of success. She builds her
national highways first, owns them,
controls them, repairs them. She has
her departments—her divisions corre
sponding to our states—build their own
roads as feeders of this system, con
necting with It joining national road
to national road. Finally her parishes
or communes—similar political divi
sions to our counties—build their own
roads, interlacing, connecting and bind
ing together the whole into one vast
network of hard surfaced roads.—Sub
urban Life.
Microscopic Handwriting.
It Is possible to possess n certain ele
gance of itenmanshlp and yet be al
most undecipherable ns a writer. A
j distinguished literary man. whose
| name 1 mercifully withhold, writes n
i microscopically small hand, almost
fnirylike in its outlines and possess
! ing a quite elfin elusiveness—almost
i every word can be read as some other
[ word. ' Waggish friends who received
I from him letters on commonplace mat
I ters would sometimes affect to regard
them ns descriptions of his exciting
adventures in the Alps, the burning
down of his house or something simi
larly sensational and reply according
ly. After being long the subject of
such merry Jests he decided to slleuce
the scoffers by using a typewriter —
London Chronicle.
An Embarrassing Moment.
Sir Edward Chandos Leigh tells this
anecdote In "Bar, Bat and Bit.” It
was told to him by the Dowager Lady
Cowper apropos of the days when all
the Joints were carved on the table:
She was a debutante, very shy, and
her old host, who was about to carve
a sirloin of beef, turned to her and
said, “Lady Anne, will you have upper
or under?" Lady Cowper said to me
that she bad not the least Idea what
he meant, so in a weak moment she
hazarded "upper.” Whereupon the
host turned to the butler and said In
a loud voice, “Take It away and turn
It Young ladies give a great deal of
trouble nowadays."
One Latter Names.
Names with only one letter hare
been bestowed on places as well as
persons. There Is a village called O
in Normandy, not far from Argenton.
Two Chinese towns are named respec
tively Y and TJ. There Is a river Y In
Holland, and one of the bays of the
Zuyder Zee bears the same brief name
France bas a river and Sweden a town
of the name of A.
Only Her Latest.
“What is your last name, please,
madam?” Inquired the clerk, deferen
tlally.
“My latest name,” corrected the lit
erary woman, who Is always careful
of her English, “Is Mrs. Havre Fourth
ub.”—Kansas City Star.
Fair Warning.
“1 am glad you have bought a par
rot papa. What will you do If It learns
bad language—punish It?”
"No. son; punish you.”—Houston
Post.

dom, Is not distrustful of Itself.
PICTURES IN THE PAPER.
First Crude Attempts to Illustrate
Events of the Day.
It Is a Utile surprising to learn that
(lie first Journal to give illustrations
with any frequency was the Mercu
rlus Civilius, which came out during
the civil war in England with portraits
of Charles I. and Ids queen, Cromwell
anti his odicers and Prince Itupert.
More elaborate pictures dealing with
the war were, however, left to the
pamphlets of that time. The frost
fair on the Thames In 1083 was mnue
the subject of an interesting broadside,
and so also was tbe funeral of Queen
Mary IE in 101)5.
With the eighteenth century tbe art
of illustrating actualities grew. Car
icatures abounded, now of tbe Jacob
ites, now of the south sea bubble or
similar exciting events. The Daily
Post of 1710 afforded an example of a
daily paper attempting to illustrate a
current event. On March 29 of that
year it published a detailed diagram
of Admiral Vernon’s attack on Porto
Bello.
The St. James Chronicle In 1705 pre
sented its readers with an illustration
of a strange wild animal that had cre
ated much excitement in France, but
this illustration was obviously imagi
nary. Tbe Gentlemen's Gazette in
1751 gave a portrait or Edward Bright,
a record fat man. In the Town and
Country Magazine in 1773 there ap
peared portraits of the principals in a
famous scandal —New York Sun.
VOICE CULTIVATION.
It Is Said That the Average American
Needs It Badly.
The American voice lacks cadence.
The touch of harmony is lacking, iu
depth or shrillness its strongest, quali
ty is monotony of tone.
In conversation it is colorless, and
half of the resources of the vocal cords
are unused or undeveloped. A strident,
high pitched, nasal voice fails in say
ing any good thing well.
Every one has the power of speaking
with sweet inflection. Every one can
attain a reposeful utterance and clear
enunciation by training the ear and
voice to work together in avoiding
harsh tones and cultivating the middle
and more mellow register in every
voice.
Excitement sends it up to a scream
ing pitch, but self control will lower
it again, and its playground should be
through tlie varying harmonies or ca
dences of five notes.
According to Thomas Wentworth
Higginson, our English cousins put
more cadence, more up and down, into
on inquiry, “What time is it?" than
Americans would into the announce
ment that a president was shot. A
crowd of baseball fans will pitch the
cheering on n high note and yell it
self hoarse, in the same number of
Europeans the shouting would be full
of undertones and cadences. They
would sing their enthusiasm.—New
York Sun.
A Tardy Act of Justice.
Marriages between English actresses
and men of a high social position be
gan in the eighteenth century, if no
earlier. There was Lavinln Fenton,
the Polly Peachutn of Gay's "Beggar’s
Opera.” who became Duchess of Bol
ton; there was Miss Farren. who mar
ried Lord Derby; also Miss Brunton
became Lady Craven not long before
Lord Tbnrlow married Miss Bolton
Earliest of the list, though, comes the
Earl of Peterborough, who married
Anastasia Robinson, the singer, and
kept the marriage secret until a few
days before Ills death in St. James'
palace, when he assembled his relatives
and friends and publicly acknowledged
the woman "to whom he owed the
best and happiest hours of his life.” a
tardy act of Justice that caused the
lady to swoon away.
The Luxury of Sugar.
Sugar was considered an article of
luxury in Europe until tea and coffee
became usual articles of diet. Sugar
was then used to sweeten these bev
erages and so gradually came to have
a prominent part In the daily diet Be
fore the days of sugar much more
meat was eaten and the drinking of
alcoholic beveruges was much more
common. The fair maiden who could
not with impunity drink a pint of ale
for breakfast was unusual. Perhaps,
in spite of the fact that most of us
eat too mucb of it sugar is a blessing.
Even oversweetened coffee and cereal
covered with sugar sound more bene
ficial than a pint of ale and a half
pound of beef for breakfast.—Boston
Herald.
Poor Alexander.
A high school freshiuau, asked to re
cite on the life of Alexander the Great,
extemporized as follows:
“Alexander was a quick tempered
man. Once when he bud taken too
mncb wine be got angry at his beet
friend and killed him. Alexander was
very much grieved and did everything
he could to help bury bis friend.”—Ev
