VOL. LI *WORST BOY,» BUT NOT WHOLLY BAD Judge Astonished at Re markable Reformation. A police court reporter sees a great deal of the wrong side of human na ture. He could perhaps become a misanthrope If once in a while something did not happen that shows how much good there may be hidden even in the most unpromising human beings. Wil liam T. Ewens in {Thirty Years in Bow Street" tells of a case that came under bis own eye that taught him not to condemn anyone as wholly bad. "He's the worst boy in the district," said the Jailer, referring to a red haired urchin in the dock. "He treats his mother shamefully.'^ "Oh, don't say that?' pleaded £lie mother tearfully. "He's a dear, good boy to me, ain't you, Joe?" ~ Joe grinned. He was an accom plished young liar, but he drew the line at aiding and abetting his mother when she told such a palpable un truth as that The Jailer had not slandered him when he described the way In which he treated his mother. Fortunately perhaps for her, he was the only child she had. She lavished all her love on him, worked day and night in order that he might live in idleness and contented herself with scanty fare so that he might have good food and plenty of it Even in the depth of winter she wore thin clothing in order to provide him with good boots and a warm overcoat Every night he went to her for pocket money and got it. At least twice a week she had to give him epough to take him into the gallery of one of the cheap theaters, and while he was enjoying the play for sixpence or so, with perhaps fried fish and potato to follow, his poor old mother was prob ably crying herself to sleep. He re warded all her kindness with base In gratitude, and sometimes with per sonal Violence. As years rolled on and the boy grew Into a red-haired ruffian it was useless for his mother to plead for mercy on the ground that he was "a dear, good boy," and he was sent to prison on several occasions. His mother always met him at the prison gates, and he had what he described as "a high old beano" with the money she had saved during his retirement. Then there came a sudden change— the most remarkable change the mis sionary then at Bow street had ever known or heard of—the poor old woman suddenly became blind. The son, instead of 111-uslng her be cause she was no longer able to min ister to his wants, became a re formed character. He gave up hla evil companions and worked hard in order that his mother might have all that she required. On Sunday night he astonished all who knew him by leading the poor creature to church. He was virtually the only nurse she had during a painful illness, and Just before she died In bis arms, she was heard to say: "He's a dear, good boy to me, is my boy. I'll pay hla fine, air. If you'll let me." And soon after the funeral Joe went to one of the colonies where he did well and reared a number of reP haired boys who never saw the in alile of a police court. Dog Wat Cap Collector It was a great mystery for a time, the disappearance of caps belonging to children at a Philadelphia public achool. It threatened to be one that only a master mind could solve. Then one day the blacksmith across the way came to the office of the principal with four caps. Asked where he got them, he aald: "Why, ma'am, my dog brought them to me —one at a time —this morning." And sure enough, aa the blacksmith and the teacher stood there talking, along came the dog. He went Into the cloak closet and In a Jiffy was out again—a cap In hla mouth. They followed him Into the blacksmith shop, and there. In a corner bidden by anvils, was an assorted collection of caps. Modern Girl'a Champion Basil King, the Canadian novelist, said as he boarded the Mauretmxla for a visit to Spain: "It is true that I am going blind, but I see clearly that the world grows better. Some people condemn the i modern girl with her audacious dress, but I see clearly that the modem girl Is the same prudent and cleer minded creature that her mother was. plus greater strength and courage. Tea, she's prudent and dean minded. A Montreal girl in boots and riding breeches said to me one after noon over a cigarette and a cup of ten: * " 'Men are not bargain hunters— and the girl who cheapens herself soon finds it out.'"

Varioas Uses Found for Wood of Cypress In 'some southern cities heavy cy press planks are used for street curb ing. Agricultural implement and ma- chlnery manufacturers make seed boxes of It, wagon makers employ It for beds, and carriage builders work It into panels for fine bodies. Automobile makers put It to similar use. Its slight tendency to warp has caused its employment by builders of incubators. Car shops use it for freight-car siding, piano manufacturers make shipping boxes of It, anQ It Li a material both for coffins and the boxes In which coffins are shipped. Skiffs, steamers, and yachts are oc casionally- finished In cypress, and many builders of gasoline launches are said to be using cypress exclu sively for hull planking. It also makes handsome church pews and benches. Telephone boxes and switch boards of cypress are coming Into use, and speels for some purposes are turned from the wood.' Apiarists em ploy it for beehives; fishermen for seine floats; furniture makers for stools, tables, and curtain poles; mold ers and machinists use it for patterns; merchants for boxes. Church and Business Make for Longevity Statistics which have reached the Labor department have Indicated that French clergymen and business men live longer than men in other profes sions, their average being 65 years f)r clergymen and 04 for men in busi ness. Next come the farmers, with an average of 81 years of life, while soldiers, lawyers and workers, though living under entirely different condi tions, average 57 years. School teach ers and physicians show the lowest average, 52 years. This Is explained by the fact that educators, from the university professor down to the coun try schoolmaster, are underpaid. The report'does not seem flattering to the government. It says: "Officials are as underpaid as the professors, but while the latter have to famish stren uous mental effort, which should be supplemented by better food and less material worry, the former lead a sedentary, carefree existence and ma terial worries do not shorten their Uvea." Worth-While Furniture Gradual buying of worth-while fur niture la se much mere sensible than hasty selection of a panorama of pieces that do nothing more than relieve a home of utter barrenness. Apparently It never occurs to some people to buy part of a handsome anlte when they can't afford the suite complete. They crowd a room with tawdry matching pieces, Ignoring the future of their home entirely, when they might hap pily combine a lovely new dresser with the simplest bed, until their matching pieces can be bought.

Evidence at Hand An American tourist in Italy was somewhat embarraased by learning of the custom in vogue in the Italian post office, where It se«ms, one cannot ob tain possession of a registered letter unless some post office employee knows yon. The tourist came out of the post office In despair, aa she knew no one in the town. Suddenly a man lounging outside came up to her and asked If she wanted "« witness to iden tify heir," and aald that his charge would be trivial. He took her back to the post office, swore that he had known her since tfhildhood, likewise her parents and grandparents, and she got her letter.

C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1925 Ancient Castle Now , Used as an Office There Is a castle twenty odd miles down the river from London which houses a complete office staff In much the same manner as might a block of chambers In the city of London or elsewhere. It was tullt In the Seven teenth century, and la of Norman de sign. This ence fortified stronghold lies off the London road which runs lito Gravesend, the castle overlooking the Thames is almost In direct line with Tilbury Docks on the opposite side. The approach to the castle Is by a slope cut out of th'e chalk cliffs ofT the main highway. Northfieet tdtwn lies* several hundred yards distant 3nce the ornamental gateway at the foot of the slope Is reached, the Twentieth century Is left behind. Nearby Is an ancient dockyard. This fell Into disuse many generations back; but not long ago a plant for the manufacture of paper wus installed on the site. Thus arose the problem of accommodating the clerical and other staffs employed In the business during the ordinary working hours. The demand for castles by the moneyed classes being somewhat limited, the stronghold at Northfieet was taken oyer and Its Interior con verted Into up-to-date offices. Yet modern as Is the interior aspect, the view from within across the river Is still by means of cross-bow windows and stone mulllons. Humble Clam Uses Tools to Build Home The use of tools by so lowly a crea ture as a clam Is described by Dr. D. T. Marshall In Long Island Life. There Is a species of clam called a piddock, which bores boles In hard clay and soft rock and spends Its life In the cavity so made. The piddock burrows Its home In the rock by con stantly turning Its rasplike shell In the cavity. This explanation Is all very well after the hole la started, but how about the beginning of the hole before the piddock could get In to turn round? The piddock begins the hole by rub bing the surface with Its foot, or, as one may 'as accurately describe It, with its hand, in which It holds a handful of sand gralna. Is not tills just as much making use of a tool as the action of the housewife who uses a handful of sand to scour a pot? Two I magma in Metal I saw once lying side by side In a great workshop fwo heads made of metal. The one was perfect; all the features of a noble, manly face came out clear and distinct In their lines of strength and beauty; In the other scarcely a single feature could be rec ognized; It was all marred and spoiled. "The metal had been let grow a little too cool, air," said the man who was showing It to me. I could not help thinking how true that was of many a form more precious than metal. Many a young aoul that might b« stamped with the Image and super scription of the King while it is warm with the love and glow of early youth Is allowed to'grow too cold, and the writing is blurred and lhe Image Is marred. —Canon Telgmuouth Shore. Silver Conductore Many questions are constantly being received which refer to the desir ability of using silver as a conductor In radio recelvera. The answer is that silver Is the best conductor of elec tricity known and has several advan tages over any other conductor. Most aaetals, such as copper, brass, etc., are sutject to corrosion. This corrosion, which forms on the surface of the metal, greatly increases the resist ance of the conductor to radio-fre quency currents, which travel on the surface. This Is not true iq. the case of silver. Sliver oslde, which la the corrosion which forms on silver, Is an excellent conductor of electricity. Be cause of this fact silver Is an Ideal metal for switch contacts, tube sock ets, etc. If You Want Solitude Anyone searching for solitude should go to Trlstsn da Cunba. a very lovely Island which la a six-day trip by steam er from Cape Town, South Africa. That statement should be modified to say a six-day trip when steamers run. but It la often many montha before a ship calls at this little south Atlantic Island.

It is of course a simple matter to provide burglar-proof vaults. In buying and selling precious stones it is necessary, however, to remove the gems from tlie sufes to display and examine them. The offices where fortunes In gems are handled are Ingeniously safe guarded. The system employed Is evidently efficient, since a holdup In dluinond dealers' of fices Is unheard of. The casuul visitor to these offices will scarcely notice the precautions tuken to guard against attack. The offices us ually contain an outer room'en closed by high partitions. The only employee In evidence Is seated behind a small wliußfw. When the visitor satisfies the Observer at the window, and not before, a door is opened in the partition, and on his entering Is quickly closed. The office is divided Into a series of rooms or cubicles, each enclosed with high partitions. 1% enter nay one of these the door Is opened by the observer behind the win dow In the outer office. Listen carefully and you will hear the click of the catch as It is con trolled, opened ond closed from the outer office. It Is impossible to gnln en trance to one of these Inner rooms without the help of a man in the outer ofllce. Once inside, the door Is fustened, and it can only be opened from the desk outside. Should a holdup be attempted In the outer office the thief would find himself con fronted by n formidable bnrrier or series of barriers. Should the man in ttie office be over come the doers to the. Inner rooms would still remain locked. Let the tlilef attempt to hold up any one after gaining admission to the offices qpd he would be locked in without the asslstnnce of the man in the outer office. The machinery work# so smoothly, that the casual visitor Is unaware of the precautions that surround him. How Mas»achu»etts Town Copet With Tuberculosis With meney given by a life In surance company the National Tu berculosis association has staged in South Framlnghum, Mass., a seven year demonstration that tuberculosis may be swiftly lessened In any town. In enlightened areas the disease Is on Its way out, anyhow} towns about South Pramlngham show a seven-year reduction In tl\p death rate of 32 per cent. But in South Framlngham the reduction was per cent, says the New York World. Fighting tuberculosis pays in bard cash. It pays an Insurance company and its policy holders to have risks live longer. It pays a town to have fewer workers on the sick list. The South Framlngham campaign cost $2.40 per capita, and the town was spending |2 per capita for health work before It began. There was no magic and little medi cine in the demonstration. It was the duty of the doctors to cetch the disease before it got too long a start in sny case. Then Its transmission to others could be prevented, anil the pa tients often cured by "extensive pas teurization of milk and pe'rsonal hy giene, with attention to exercise, rest, recreation and moderation in all things." How Mystery Was Soloed One of the most S|>e:tacular forms of lightning (If It ran be so called), occurs In the Andes, and haa occasion ally been reported from other moun tainous regions.

Of course this charge has never been able to stand up statis tics, but what care men toe statistics when they see a living example of the truth # Nothing proves more clearly the vi tality of error than the fact that though the contrary about preachers' sons has been proved repeatedly, you can never mention the downfall of a preacher's son without hearing some one say, "Well, j&u can expect noth ing else from them, for preachers' sons are generally bad." We have long since of ever overtaking this error with respect to their morals, but we wonld like to call attention to their achievements as moneymakers. Mr. Babson, than wbom' there Is no higher authority where statistics are involved, - has been looking Into the records of preachers' sons, and fie has found that whether* the preacher him self Is a. moneymaker or not his sons, at least, have a fine record In that line. He sa/s that 40 per cent of the millionaires of this country and Can ada are sons of preachers. Our popu lation of 112,000,000; and there are 200 millionaires. It follows then thst It takes 0,000 preachers to produce' one per cent of the millionaires, while It takes 1\8G3,- 833 of the general imputation to pro duce one per cent of • the millionaires. A little figuring will show that as wealth-producers preachers' sons pro duce 376 times as much as all at the other professions combined. T)n one side we place the sons of the manse whose reputation Is not above par, and on the other side we gather all the financiers, doctors, lawyers, professional men, with their big f*es, and the great army or labor ing men The sons of the manse are able to accumulate as much as this great mass of men.

Boy Had Good Idea of Penalty of Lying "Yon know, where people go who toll lies?" said a court official at Newcas tle, England, to a small girl In the wit ness box recently. "Yes, but I dont believe R," was the reply. This Incident jigs suggested to an English commentator an Instance where, the converse of the Newcastle episode occurred In the court of Judge Maule a few years ago: A small boy was placed In the witness box and was asked the same question, "Do you know where people go who tell lies?" on which Maule commented: "If he knows that, it's a good deal more than I do." However, the byr did know, for he was taken through s catalogue of offenses from telling lies to steallhg apples, and replied "Hell-flre" to all,of them. Counsel suggested that he was not competent. 'The Judge demurred. "He thinks that for every willful fault he will go'te hell-fire; and he 1s very likely, while he believes doctrine, to be most strict in'his observance of the truth.* If you and I belleveh that such would be the penalty for every offense we "committed, we should be better men than we are.
