Paul's Personal Appearance.
All that we know of Paul's personal
appearance from his own writings is
found in II Cor. x, 10, which indicates
that he did not possess the advantage
of a distinguished or imposing pres-
ence. His stature was somewhat di-
minutive, his eyesight weuk (see Acts
xxiii, 5. and Gal. iv. 15), nor did he re-
gard his address as impressive. Much
of this personal criticism, however,
may have been the outcome of the
apostle’s desire to avoid magnifying
himself or his own talents. A fourth
century tablet represents him as ven-
erable looking and dignified, with a
high. bald forehead. full bearded and
with features indicating force of char-
acter. One ancient writer says Paul's
nose was strongly aquiline. All the
early pictures and mosaics, as well as
‘some of the early writers (among them
Malalus and Nicephorus) agree in de-
scribing the apostle as of short stature,
with long face. prominent eyebrows,
clear complexion and a winning ex-
pression, the whole aspect being that
of power and dignity. The oldest
known portrait is the Roman panel of
the fourth century, already referred to
above.—Christian Herald.

American liner the other day and no-
body could make him understand any
one of seventeen different languages?
They even tried him with the deaf
and dumb stuff, but he only shook his
head and said nothing. Finally they |
had to send him back to the boat, and
he'll probably spend the rest of his life
sailing back and forth between here

what country he comes from.

know.”—New York Tribune.
Gravity of a Spinning Top.
A spinning top is kept from falling
because of the speed with which it re-
volves.
ugal force produced by the rotation of
the top when it is spun. Each part
of the top is subject to the same cen-
trifugal force as each other part at the
same distance from the axis of rota-
tion and to no greater force, so that
there is no cause for the top being
pulled in any particular direction by
the force of gravity. As soon as the
centrifugal force begins to lessen be-
cause of lessening speed of rotation the
attraction of gravity begins to be ex-
erted again and the top begins to wob-
ble. When the spinning motion di-
minishes to such an extent that the
attraction of gravitation becomes greuat-
er than the centrifugal force the top
falls to one side.
Old Estimate of Field Hands.
The sixteenth century [Karl of War-
wick stayed the slaughter after the
suppression of Kett's rising by an ar-
gument which shows how completely
agricultural workers were regarded as
mere “hands.” Of the 20.000 insur-
gents who bad encamped with Kett on
Mousehold heath 2,000 or 3.000 had
been killed in the battle. the strength
of the victors lying in German and
Italian mercenaries. Kett himself was
hanged from the walls of Norwich
castle, forty-five others were hanged.
drawn and quartered in the markst
place. and 300 in all are said to have
been executed. Warwick checked the
demand for increasing the number of
victims by asking, “What shall we do. |
then--hold the plow ourselves, play
the carters and labor the ground with
our own hands?'—London Chronicie.
David Livingstone.
David Livingstone will always rank
among the most illustrious of the Af-
rican explorers. He was a real path:
finder and civilizer as well as a most
devoted Christian and philanthropist.
Upon his large and lasting fame there
seems to be not a single blot. Krom
the spot in Africa where he died, near
Chitambos village. on the Malilano.
Livingstone’s body was in 1874 taken
to England and deposited with high
honors in Westminster abbey, the gov-
ernment bearing all the expenses of
the elaborate funeral.
Two Views.
“What I want to see.” said the re-
former, “is a city that knows absolute-
ly nothing of graft.”
“That's just what I'd like to see,” re-
plied the ward politician. ‘Wouldn't
it be a gold mine for the right par-
ties!”—Washington Star.
Quite a Word.
What word is there in the English
language the first two letters of which
signify a male, the first three a female.
the first four a great man, and the
whole a great woman? Heroine.
The Uplift.
“I believe I'll go in for the uplift.
Everybody ought to go in for the up-
lift, don’t you think?”
“] s’'pose so. What office do you
want ?’—Pittsburgh Post.

Strange Facts About Sleep.
No scientist can explain what sleep
really is. Most human beings sleep on
their sides, with the knees drawn up;
elephants aiways and horses com-
monly sleep standing up. Bats sleep
head downward. banging by their hind
legs. Birds, with the exception of
owls and the hanging parrots of Indian,
sleep with their beads turned tailward
over the back and the beak thrust
' among the feathers between the wing
and body. Storks. gulls and other long
| legged birds sleep standing on one leg.
Ducks sleep on open water.
drifting shoreward they keep paddling
with one foot, thus making them move
in a circle. Sloths sleep banging by
tween their fore legs.
wolves sleep curled up. their noses and
and blanketed by their bushy tails.
Hares, snakes and fishes sleep with
their eyes wide open. Owls, in addi-
tion to their eyelids, have a screen
that they draw sideways across their
eyes to shut out the light. for they
sleep in the daytime. No one knows
, Whether insects sleep or not. Man is
' the only animal that ever sleeps on its
back.—New York World
He Capitulated.
His wife met him at the door. His
dinner had been waiting for thirty
minutes, but she was smiling sweetly. |
Her hair was done up in a becoming '
i Style, and she looked ten years young-
' er than usual.

can see that you are tired. Have you
had a hard day at the office, dear?”
“Yes,” he replied. “I'm all fagged
out.”
“I’m sorry. But never mind. | feel
sure that things will take a turn for
the better soon. I've got a surprise
for you—the maid has prepared a nice
! chicken stew, the kind you like so
well. Shall I run upstairs and get your
slippers?”

“how much do you want?’—Chicago

Britain’s Conscience Fund.
Much more money has been sent
anonymously to the British govern-
. ment’s conscience fund than to that
of the American government. The first
recorded payment of this kind was the
sum of $1.800, sent to Pitt in 1789.
with a letter requesting him to apply
the money "to the use of the state in
such manner that the nation may not
suffer by its having been detained from
the public treasury. You are implored
to do this for the case of conscience
to an honest man.” Nearly every year
since then the chancellor of the ex-
chequer has received a certain amount
of conscience money. In 1841 the
chancellor received $70.000 from a per-
son who stated that be had engaged
in smuggiing for many years, and that
this sum represented all
therefrom.
totaled $80.000.
Two Wits and a Street.
Craven street, Strand, London. once
produced quite a competition among
epigraummatists. .James Smith, one of
the authors of the "Rejected Address-
es.” who died there in 1839. wrote:
In Craven street, Strand, ten attorneys
find piace,
And ten dark coal barges are moored at
its base.
Fly, Honesty, fly; seek some safer re-
treat,
For there's craft on the river and craft
on the street.

Why should Honesty fly to some safer re-
treat,
From attorneys and barges, 'od rot ’em—
For the lawyers are just at the top of the
| street,
i And the barges are just at the bottom.

Unique Flood Mark.
A striking warning against the floods
that rise with inconceivable rapidity |
land volume in the Rocky Mountain
streams is seen in a gorge twenty-five
miles west of Denver. Here Bear
creek. a mere rivulet. bardly ankle
deep. threads its way for several miles
through a narrow canyon. in places
hardly wide enough to permit a road-
way beside the stream At one of
these narrow points a needle of gran
ite thrusts itself up between creek and
roadway to a point of more than forty
feet. Poised upon its top. like the bar
on the letter T, is a huge log. twenty
feet long. It was left there some years
ago by a sudden flood that drowned
more than a score of people camping
in the canyon. On a brass tablet
fastened to the pillar the county au-
thorities have inscribed this pregnant
sentence, “If you knew what put this
log up here you wouldn’t camp in this
canyor.”—New York Times.

torial note, "The Kalahari desert is
principally composed of sand and lions.
First you sift out all the sand with a
big sieve: then the lions will remain

South Africa's Feathers.
Next to gold and diamonds feather
raising is the most profitable of South
Africa’s industries. The ostrich yields
between £2.000.000 and £3.000.000 per
annum to the subcontinent. There are
some 500,000 birds in South Africa. and
they yield an average of from £4 to £5
worth of feathers per head per annum.

Lost Articles In Railroad Wrecks.
Did you ever stop to think what
might become of your grip, coat or
other belongings if you were caught
in a wreck? The shock felt after a
railroad accident is usually so great
that material things in connection
with it are lost sight of. Naturally
the first thought is of the recovery
and identification of those injured.
The identification part is not always
easy. and sometimes has been accom-
plished by some piece of personal
property. After the humane work of
caring for the injured has been done,
it devolves upon the railroad company
to clear away the debris. Frequently
the quickest and least expensive way
to do this is to burn it. but before
this is possible every effort is made
to recover lost personal property. The
value of this often runs up into many
thousands of dollars. In one eastern
, city there was recovered and returned
! to the owners between $40,000 and
| $50,000 worth of personal property.—

Oddities of Human Skin.
Human cuticle reacts peculiarly to
stimuli The makers of billiard balls
test the smoothness of the finished ar-
ticle by rubbing it against the cheek.
Certain areas of the tongue are very
sensitive to different tlavors, while
about an inch from the tip is a little
patch which is the precise spot to
dump objectionable medicine, for in
that region the sense of taste is ab-
sent. If one marks on the biceps of
the arm a little space and test it with
the warmed head of a pin, some spots
will feel just pressure, others warmth
and pressure, And if one has a little
red ink on the pin he can mark out
just where these “warm spots’ are.
In fact, the cuticle seems a mosaic of
“warm” and “cold” spots. And there
is said to be a place above the knee
where one can drive a pin without
pain.

You must have a foundation before
you can build a house. You must have
a foundation before you can build up your
health. The foundation of health is pure
blood. To try to build up health by
“doctoring” for symptons of disease is
like trying to build a house by beginning
at the chimney. Begin at the foundation.
Make your blood pure and you will find
that “heart trouble,” “liver trouble” and
kindred ailments disappear when the poi-
sons are eliminated from the blood. The
sovereign blood purifying remedy is Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
has cured diseases pronounced incurable
by physicians. It has restored health to
those who have absolutely despaired of
recovery. ¢
