“I Buppcae.” said Mr. Phllgminthroe,
'“that when everything has been count-
ed up and reduced to final aanlyata It
will be discovered that the one single,
most prolific cause of crime Is cold
plates.
“I wouldn't be understood as saving
that cold plates ate a direct Incite-
ment to murder, though it Is not im-
possible that they might be so; but as
an Insidious, undermining cause, as
an Influence leading perhaps Indirect-
ly, but still with no less certainty, to
the committing of crime I have ao
doubt you would find cold plates lead-
ing all the rest.
“How often do we heaf It said of the
fate of nations that it is trembling in
the balance, ready to be moved this
way or that by the slightest touch’
And if this can be true of nations,
how much more may It be true of Indl
vlduals, who may be swayed, their for-
tunes for the time settled, or their
whole conduct of life determined by
the slightest circumstance?
"Coming back now to cold plates
You take a man who has worked hard
and been harried all day and who
comes home at night tired and wor
ried. and whom a square meal would
brace up mightily and cause to take
a new view of life and to set his
face In the right direction, and you
give this man a good dinner with hot
plates, and don't you see that you
head him up right and confirm in
him his good Impulses? You nail
him. so to speak, you start him off
right, and you keep him going right;
and there's a man saved
"And now you take that same man,
and give him his dinner on cold
plates; and that may be the laat
straw that breaks the camel’s back,
and he may get peevish over It, and
not enjoy his after-dinner smoke, and
get so wrought up that he doesn't
sleep well that night, and wakes up
the next morning and goes to business
already tired out and not fit to do
anything, so that he loses his temper
and Is cross and Irritable, and mlssea
every piay he makes and goes on from
bad to worse and winds up maybe by
killing somebody before the day is
OTsr- All this Is absolutely attrib-
utable to cold plates

der and that sort of thing; but when
It comes to little things, such as plain
sulkiness and kicking over chairs at
home and being cross to the children
and making your wife unhappy and

The carpenter hurriedly pushed the
chisel out of the white, vibrating sun-
shine Into the cool blue shade.
"Do you want to spoil the tools' tem-
per in that heatT” he growled.
But the older carpenter, smiling
scornfully, retorted:
"I thought you were above the silly
superstition that the summer sun
could hurt the temper of our tools.
Why, man. you triple the sun's heat,
and still our tools could lie in the
full blaze unharmed
"To temper a chisel the steel Is heat
ed to 490 degrees. To temper axes
and planes a heat of 510 degrees is
applied. Fine saws and augers take
6«0 degrees, and hand and pit saws
take 600 degrees
“Of course the tempered steel can't
be affected till the heat of Its tem-
pering Is applied to it Throw back,
then, old man, your chisel Into the
sun Proof against 489 degrees, what

Monkeys Can Think.
j Prof. Melvin E. Haggerty of
Harvard University, who has been
studying monkeys in the Bronx
Aoo park for the last month, has
proved to his own satisfaction that
dome of them at least are not
merely imitators of the human
species, but have an initiative. In
ijne of his tests he had a platform
built extending about five feet out-
ride the cars occupied by the
durang outangs, Mickie and Min-
nie. On one end of the stand he
placed a hunch of bananas and
iome lucious peaches. Then he
placed in the cage a long stick
with a hook in the end and went
fway.
j He hadn’t been gone five minutes
When Mickie looked at Minnie, and
faughed. Minnie winked and
laughed too. Then Mickie got the
hook, raked in the fruit and they
pad a delicious meal.—Ex.

Horrible Mine Disaster.
A fire in Hailey, Okla.„Coal Co’s
mine at Haileyville, Okla., Wed-
nesday morning, caused the death
of twenty-six miners and possibly
more. The fire started by the ex-
plosion of a barrel of oil from a
miner’s lamp, near the shaft.
There were one hundred and twen-
ty-five were in the mine at the
time, but all hut twenty-six or
possibly thirty escaped. The
ho<lies rescued show no sign of
burns, and the men no doubt died
from suffocation.

This clergyman holds that he is
not attacking the bible itself, but
merelv the claim for infallibility
which is set up for it. To claim
plenary inspiration for a book in
which a chikl can detect errors, he
asserts, drives people of intelli-
gence from the church. The right
of every man to study and inter-
pret the scriptures for himself, he
holds, is as great today as in the
time of Luther aud Calvin and
Zwingli. Such an independence,
he believes, will do more to
strengthen the hold of religiou
upon the multitute than any
amount of preaching and teaching
in defense of the bible’s infalli-
bility.

Grange, “hearing two very ordi-

that if you are terribly in love,
the way to cure yourself is to run
away.’
“The plumber shook his head
and sneered.
“ ’That will cure you,’ he said,
‘provided you run away with the
girl.’ ’’-Taller.
