The Eighth race of the Fox Lake Yacht club, on Saturday, resulted in a close and exciting finish between the Louise and Patrica in the first-class race. The wind freshened up just be­ fore the start and when the gun was fired the boats were able to cross the line with spinnakers set. The Louise and Patrica were side by side all the way to the Columbia buoy. The Louise on reaching Indian Point had but a slight advantage over the Patrica. By the time the boats reached Mineola Bay there was all the Wind any one could wish for, and the Louise seemed to be flying along with spinnaker and balloon jib set and with the Patrica slowly but surely picking up. A mis­ take at any time by the crew who sailed the Louise would certainly have given Miss Tooker, who .sailed the Patrica. a good lead. The Flying Fox won the second-class race. Six boats started in the mosquito fleet race, and when the gun was fired the oregon, Dewey, and Wee One shot across the line closely followed by the Buena, Lady Babbie, and Carita. When the first buoy was reached Mrs. Lyford, who sailed the Carita, by skillful handling of her boat, secured the lead and kept it until the east side was reached. The Wee One then assumed the lead and won the race, with the Carita a good second. At the dance in the evening the cup for the boat winning the most points in the first-class races was presented to Herbert Ford, who owns the Louise. W. H. Lyford, who owns the Flying Fox, re­ ceived the cup for the second-class boats winning 800 points out of a possible 800. SOLON, Will Cornish was at Elgin Monday. R. W.

That illustrious astronomer. Profess­ or Simon Neweomb, in an article on "Science and the Government" in The North American Review, -fflves an amusing instance of the ignorance even of the most prominent politicians re­ garding the work of the greatest scien­ tists: "It is said that some 50 years ago the British academy had printed a few cop­ ies of an Important work for presenta­ tion to some foreigners who, from their prominence in the scientific world, were best entitled to be honored with the gift Professor Airy, the astronomer royal, was requested to make a selec­ tion of the names. A few days after be had sent in his list he was informed by the secretary of the admiralty that 'my lords' were struck by the number of unknown names Included and that they wished to make an inquiry on the subject. Airy asked the secretary for some specifications as to the names re­ ferred to. "'Well, as an example/ said the sec­ retary, 'here is the name of Professor C. F. Gauss of GottJngen. Who is he?' " 'Gauss is one of the greatest math­ ematicians of the age and stands among the two or three most eminent masters in physical astronomy flow liv­ ing. Who else do yo1I wish to know about?' , " 'No one else, That will do/ replied the secretary." The Blood on the Knife. "For the last.ten years," said it ca­ rlo dealer in the Old Quarter, "a broad bladed dagger with an imitation bronze handle has been lying among a lot of odds and ends in that corner showcase. I don't know where it came from, but I probably got it when buying some collection. At any rate, the other day, while looking over my dead stock, it occurred to me it might be burnished up and used as a paper knife. I took it out, scraped the handle a little to see what it was made of and then laid it on my desk to attend to a customer. • "When I picked it up again, I was as­ tounded to find the blade dripping with blood. It seems a childish thing to tell, but the incident was so grewsome and apparently inexplicable that it set me trembling like a leaf. In a moment, however, my common sense came to the rescue, and what proved to be the correct explanation flashed into my mind. It was a trick dagger, for use either on the stage or in some secret society mummery, and the hilt contained a hidden reservoir for artificial blood. In scraping the side I had pressed a spring which opened a little valve, and out came the gore, still fluid, after all these years. I afterward found that the top unscrewed for replenishing the supply."--Netv Orleans Times-Demo­ crat. favor their friends with that luxury, "four and twenty blackbirds baked in.a pie."

The manufacturers of Castoria have been compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to familiarize the public with the signature of Chas. H Fletcher. This has been necessitated by reason of pirates counterfeiting the Cas­ toria trade-mark. This counterfeiting is a crime not only against the propri etors of Castoria, but against the grow ing generation. All persons should be careful to see that Castoria bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher, if they would guard the health of their child ren. Parents, and mothers in particu lar, ought to carefully examine the Cas toria advertisments which have been ap­ pearing in this paper, and to remember that the wrapper of every bottle of gen uine Castoria bears the fac-simile signa ture of Chas. H. Fletcher, under whose supervision it has been manufactured continuously for over thirty years. Phila.

Now Beds. We cannot tell with any certainty when the first portable furniture was Invented, and, to judge by the ark as it survives among our children, Noah was either ignorant of such things or, and more probably, denied himself their use for the time being in order to leave more room for tne animals. But long before Cowper somewhat apologetically sang the sofa Homer was proud to enumerate the cherished and decorated pieces of furniture in the tents of the heroes before Troy and described Odysseus' pleasure in seeing once more his own beautiful bed as sympathetically as any other incident of the return, while that he had a second best bed is one of the very few personal facts we know re­ garding our Shakespeare. Shades of Ulysses and Shakespeare! A bed was a bed then. In Greece, a couch worthy of a hero; in England, a miniature stage of life, with its tap­ estried roof and hangings and curtains that rose or fell with fitting pomp on the great scenes of the domestic dra­ ma.--Chambers' Journal. Tale* of the Nose. Indented nostrils evidence meanness, Wide nostrils a spendthrift. A tip jut­ ting out far from the face is a token of vulgarity, refinement being the pos­ session of the owners of noses that do not stand out far at the end. An aqui­ line bend denotes firmness of will and sense of justice; the long, narrow bridge proclaims a fastidious, self suf­ ficient yet often tender nature. All the active qualities--combativeness, eager­ ness, passionate temper, power of ha­ tred, jealousy, ambition--go with the more common type of Roman nose. The Greek form, on the contrary, tells of artistic capabilities and love of in­ animate beauty. Rouarh on His Lordship. A carpenter in an English town hav­ ing neglected to make a gibbet that had been ordered by the hangman on the ground that he had not been paid for the last one he had erected gave so much offepse that the next time the judge came to the circuit he was sent for. "Fellow," said the judge in a stern »tone, "how came you to neglect mak­ ing the gibbet that was ordered on my account?" "1 humbly beg your pardon," replied the carpenter. "Had I known it had been for your lordship it would have been done Immediately." • Moody Bible Institute. v Chicago's counterpart of Moody's Northfield has summoned the Christ­ ian world to a gathering from which may start a great religions advance movement. To the cluster of buildings on the north side of Chicago over which is now written the title, "Moody Bible Institute" are expected to flock in Sep­ tember Christian workers from all parts of the United States and from foreign lands. They are to assemble without regard to class or creed, imbued only with zeal for revival activity, and primed with contributions to the stir­ ring discussions planned as part of the convention. In the meeting and its re­ sults, proof will be forthcoming, it is expected, of the degree in which Mr. Moody's life, work and memory re­ mains potent. "Progress in revival work," that is to be the watchword.. The busy hum of student life at the all-the-year-round Bible Institute will lend stimulating en­ vironment for the meeting, and the prayerful fervor of scores of active re­ ligious workers will have effect. It is well known that even the routine class activity of the Institute has fostered the missionary spirit. The efforts of more than 200 of its alumni in foreign lands furnishes evidence. So it has been urged upon the officials of the institu tion: "Let us have a gathering of evan­ gelists, pastors, church officers, Sunday school teachers and others within the walls of the Institute to talk of the winter's work. Let us bury denomina­ tional differences, and devise compel­ ling means for bringing souls to Christ during the coming months." The National Convention of Christian work­ ers in former years furnished a prece­ dent, and the call went out. At the headquarters of the school, 80 Institute Place, the assembly will be held, from Sept. 19 to Sept. 26, eight days of prayer, Bible study, discussion of methods, and attainment of the true sort of fellow­ ship in revival work. For the last named the great events now shaking the world will furnish an impetus. A reunion of students of the Institute is to follow the convention, and the students mil come in time for the con­ vention. It is hoped that some of the former students now in Europe, and As'a will come, ready to describe the awakening of the nations to the situation in the orient. Sessions of prayer for missionaries now at the scene of massacres and dis­ cussions of the right attitude of Christ­ ian people in the present crisis will di­ versify the convention program. The chief aim of the conference, how­ ever, will be a kind of gathering of energy, and interchange of suggestions. Every body is to be welcome. A large-number of special addresses have been arranged for, and the speak­ ers will be men like Prof. Graham Tay lor, the Rev. James M. Gray, Alexan­ der Patterson, C.N. .Hunt, M. B. Wil­ liams, and the Rev. Johnstone Myers. Special lines of effort will be dis­ cussed by C. N. Crittenton, of New York, W. E. Blackstone, and Harry Monroe, while W. R. Newell and R. A. Torrey, of the institute are also to take a part. With men like these to strike key­ notes and kindle fervor, and with mo mentous themes, clustering about that of soul winning, scheduled for discus sion, assurances of the success of the convention are coming in upon its pro moters. "It will strike fire, " said one minister of the proposed gathering. "Given such conditions, the time's ripe for revival, the season opening, the place, the date, and the speakers, and it cannot fail of results." It only remains to mention the meet- i tig-places, and the music. The main building of the Institute will be the ren­ dezvous, but some of the larger meet­ ings will be held in Chicago Ave. (Moody's) church, while various con­ ferences will be held in the class rooms. For the music extensive preparations have been made, and s. chorus led by- Prof. D. I? Towner, Will sing. '.'Come to the Bible Institute in Sep­ tember," that is the invitation many Christians may well be taking to heart.

T h e tremendous business that made it necessary to erect such an establishment is the result of new ideas applied td the coftee busi­ ness. C. F. Blanke was the first man in the United States to blend coffees solely with regard to their drinking quality in the cup, rather than follow the old formulas of so much " Mocha" and so much "Java." There are good,medium, and poor Mochas and Javas, the same as there are good, medium and poor California fruits. That is the reason other coffees are not uniform. Blanke scientifically blends every lot of coffee to produce a drinking quality exafctly like " it has always been." " Faust Blend " is his highest grade. Blanke's other brands are as good proportionately. The C. P.
