old bells that hang In the tiny church'
yard.
They data from the year 15S0 and tt
Is rumored, are cast with gold and
copper and silver. They bear the date
and some words In Latin. Of their
history nothing Is known. It seems
probable that they were cast up by
the sea or taken from one of the old
Spanish galleons, as Jocotlan Is only
a day from the coast
This Immense ranee has a history,
Af'er the war of independence It was
handed to the Indigenes of Jocotlan,

milliner, asking the milliner to fur
Mis'! the shape and trim It' The wom
an was proud of the feather, the vel
vet, and tho rose, as they were as good

glmce at them, and then the woman
began to apologize. "Apologies are not
necesaary," said the milliner Icily.
"You surely don't expect me to use

Boats Towed by Autos.
T'-e first successful towing of Ch
it ' boats by automobile was aecoro
r Vcd one recent Sunday on the Le

t1 e tow-line to snap in the effort to
pti:rt. George B. Plumtuer, a Camden
automobile expert, equipped a seven
ton motor truck of 45 horsepower with
spiral springs. Six barges with 800
tons of cargo were taXen from Allen
town to Bethlehem in an hour. Prea

First Honeymoon in Air.
Even the honeymoon In the air Is
not a new Idea. M. Flammarlon, the
distinguished French astronomer and
aeronaut, took hlB bride tor a honey
moon trip in a balloon on August 28,
1874. Mme. Flammarlon relates that
though she had. never been In a bal
loon before, she felt no trepidation
when Bhe took her seat In the car
along with her buaband and his sci
entific instruments, at the gas works
of La Villette. They were accom
panied by M. Flammarion's brother
and the aeronaut, M. Jules Godard.
"Hlcksltes" vs. "Friends."
Hlcksltes are a numerous body of
rationalistic Quakers In America,
founded by Ellas Hicks (1748-1830).
who In 1827 seceded from the Society
of Friends and created a schism In
that body by his promulgation of Uni
tarian doctrines. About one-half of
the "Friends" in America adopted his
lens. The HIcksites deny the mirac
ulous conception, the divinity and the
atonement of Christ, as well as the
Insblratlon and authenticity of tbs
Set iptures.

The watch baa no glass, and Its face

UNIVERSITY ON A NOVEL PLAN.
The Methodists Are 8lowly Building
It a,t Washington.
The American University at Wash
ington. D. C, is beginning the erec
tion of buildings to cost S2.000.000.
The Methodists hope to crown their
educational system with this post
graduate Institution.
In two respects the American Uni
versity will -be unique, says the Edu
cational Review, in that it will be the
only educational Institution In the
United Btntes which will confine its
Instruction to post-graduate studies
tnd will not have any undergraduate
schools attached to Its scheme of edu

not enroll any students until every

The big man with the fiery loo'; on
lis face had been struggling with t'n

prisoner. With much fuming pad
vriggling he finally released hlmpir.
"Confound that blasted window:"
le thundered, almost exploding with
rage. "I feel like I could chew It up

It was then that the humorous nt

"My friend," he said, with a dipt;
winkle In hlB eyes, "don't be so n

"What! Are you joshing me? Tlu

"Certainly, sir. Didn't It fall on

And then the humorous little Iran

Boston's Costly Subway.
The costliest mile of undererornd
railway In the world is said to be '.lie
new Washington street subway of
Boston, which passeB through the
shopping district. Its constrtn-t'on
md equipment has amounted to $!0.
5O0.0000, or about $2,000 a lineal foot.
The first Bectlon of Boston's mod :rn
system of rapid transit, consistinr of
subway tunnels, was opened abou: 1 1
years ago. This was followed by 'he
erection a few years later of the ele
vated road. And subsequently to that
the system was extended by the con
struction of the East Boston tunnel
under the harbor. The opening of
the Washington tunnel marks the lat
est and one of the most important ex

Bravest of Living Things.
The mongoose Is very brave, but
the most courageous of all living
things is, by common consent of nat
uralists, the mole. Seemingly with
out any sense of fear whatever, the
mole will fight anything that crosses
Its path. It never raises the white
flag. Neither giving nor asking quar
ter It tears away at its adversary un
til it kills It or is killed itself. The
mole appetite Is in keeping with its
courage, and it thinks nothing of eat
ing its own weight. In appetite the
spider Is a close second to the mole,
but when it comes to fighting the mote
carries the palm.
A Dreary Land.
The country from Jerusalem to the

EARLY GRECIAN COINAGE.
Mark on Gold Ingots to Guarantee
Weight and Purity.
The Invention of coinage is due to
the Greeks, most probably to the
bankers of Halkamassos and adja
cent Asia Minor Greek colonies, who
toward the end of the eighth century
B. C. began stamping the small gold
and electron Ingots which passed
through their hands as currency with
mark of some sort Intended to guar
antee the weight and purity of the
metal; such ingots very soon assumed
a round and more regular shape,
which we find already in old silver
coins from Aeglna. nearly contempo
rary with A3la Minor "beans."
Curious to say, none of the sur
rounding peoples with whom the Asia
tic and European Greeks were In con
stant communication, political or com
mercial, took up the wonderful inven
tion which at present seems to us of
such obvious necessity that we scarce
ly realize bow the civilized world ol

VENTED HIS CURIOSITY.
Little Boy Anxious to Know Mysteries
of Bishop's Toilet.
The visiting bishop had taken
charge of a class of small boys, and
had been much flattered by the ab
aorbed Interest which one youngrter
had taken In all that he hnd sa'd and
done. At the conclusion of the lesson
the bishop said kindly: "Now, if any
of you boys have a question to nsk I
shall be very glad to answer It."
The boy who had been so atten' v
during the lesson raised a hesitating
but an eager hand. "Well, Jo'm:i; ?"
encouraged the bishop. "An' kin I ast
anythlnk?" questioned Johnny. "I
shall be glad to answer any question,"
replied the bishop with a benign
smile. "Well, thin. Is thlm (Indicat

"Are you ashamed of your name?"
"No, ma'am, but "
"Then we will not waste any mora

The boy's eyes rolled wildly In
their sockets and hla face became con
torted as he began:

A New Kngland statesman was re

tf the following:
One day Hoar learned that a friend

o have appendicitis was In reality suf

Whereupon the Senator smiled gen

COST OF AN EDUCATION.
Publie 8chools of the Country Spend
an Average of $28.25 a Pupil,
The average yearly expenditure
pupil in the public schools of this
country. Is given as $28.25 In the re
cently published report of the Com
missioner of Education. In 1870 It
was only $15.55.
Nevada has the highest yearly ex

$40.41 spends $5.16 a pupil year
more than Oklahoma and New Mexi
co combined.
One-third of the Btat-w spend from

To Save Elastic.
To save elastic in children's
blouses, which cost sometimes s-i
much as the map? rial of the blouse,
take a piece of tape or selvage tbe
ize of the child "s waist, less four
Inches. Cut the tape tn half. Insert
four inches of elastic, put the tape,
with the elastic In the center nf It.
In the hem of the! blouse. It will act
tbe same as If It -were all elastic and
wear better. Therefore you can nrnku
six 'blouses with the same elastic
which yau would otherwise put la una
blouse.
Sponges should be hung where the
fresh air will reajch them and where
they will dry thoroughly. If possible,
the sponge shou)d be dried in the
bright sunshine, ajid thoroughly sca'.d
