Are you square with us? If not, what to the reason? « * . " Hatter liideHtracti Ule. An essential property of mutter, tool which dot's not commend itself to su­ perficial observation, like those of ax- tension and resistance, is Indestructi­ bility. 80 far as experiment and ob­ servation can discover matter con nei­ ther be created nor destroyed. On ths surface facts seem to contradict this assertion, for any particular portion of matter may be decomposed and resolv­ ed into its constituent parts so that It seems to have disappeared, because the form under which we knew it is no longer present. In reality, however, no diminution in the quantity of existing matter has taken place. One proof of this is easily afforded by combustion. If we allow a piece of wood or coal or any combustible solid body to "burn away," there will, as we all know, be ashes remaining. If while the combus­ tion is going on We take means to pre­ serve not only the ashes, but also every part of the body which would ordinari­ ly be dissipated, as smoke and steam, and then weigh all the different sub­ stances, solid, liquid or gaseous, that we have obtained, we shall find the combined weights equal to tke original weight of the body itself. :q,«: mmmmMmmrnmrnmu • ^ The Pillory la England. It Is difficult to realize that as late as June 2U, 1830, so barbarous a pun­ ishment as that of the pillory was still Inflicted. One Peter James Bossy stood in the pillory in the Old Bailey on that day for perjury and was the last of a long line of victims, for it was abol­ ished immediately afterward. Origi­ nally, like most mediaeval punish­ ment, It was Intended more as a dis­ grace than as a bodily discomfort, but a crowd that would watch all night to gloat over a public hanging in the morning ngturally did not spare the victims of the pillory, who sometimes died fj-om the treatment they received. More humane was the punishment for perjury in 1468, when the offenders were merely sentenced to ride from Newgate to Cornhill with paper miters on their beads. But they knew a thing or two in the middle ages, and no doubt there was a street boy even In 1408,--London Chronicle. CkMM of Caaeer. "I emtd see no reason for the prev­ alence of cancer among the backwoods­ men of North America," says an Eng­ lish writer. "The other day, however, I happened to read in an account of the backwoods of Canada that the lum­ bermen maintain their remarkable powers on buckwheat cakes served with molasses, potato pies, baked beans, white bread, pork and bacon. So far good, but that tea, black as Ink, sweetened with molasses or sugar house sirup, Is always near the fire by day and by night and Is used In vast quantities. Here we have the rich nu­ triment and the great excess of stewed tea and the excess of sugar, cor­ responding to the excessive beer and excessive coffee of parts of Holland, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Baden and Bavaria, In all of which cancsr la «*- ceedingly prevalent."
