The phenomena of the figure 7 and its Multiples occurring in the New Testament ave been touched upon by Ivan Panin, a umber osiaxt f years has made his home at for Graf- ton, Mass. This significance of the "seven" ,!/:roup will not be lost, even upon the super- stitious, who are outside the pale of Scrip- tural points, and, as Mr. Panin has shown them, their relations of their groupings 2.0 the first eleven verses of the New Testament must suggesttht they were scarcely' chance, mays the Chicago Tribune. For instance, in these first eleven verses of Matthew, the vocabulary consists of 49 Words, or seven sevens; of these words there are 28, or four sevens, which begin with Vowels, and 21, ,or three sevens, which begin with consonant's. "This distribution by sevens between vowel words and consonant words jowly might have been deemed accidental but for the fact that of the 49 words 42 of them aro nouns—six sevens—and seven are not nouns," Is the comment of the writer. "Of the 42 nouns there are 35 proper nouns. ar five sevens, while seven are commno nouns. Of the 35 proper names four sevens are male ancestors of Jesus and seven are not such. Not only, then, is the distribution of the 49 ween vowel f the andlconsonant words, but also as between the parts of speech.' As a further and absolute proof that these hie nomena of the sevens are not accidental Panin points out that the 49 words of the vocabulary show 14words that are not used but once, while 35 of them, or five sevens, are used more than once. His con- clusions, after an exhaustive arrangement cf the "seven" features are that "not even the choice of the languages in which the Scrip- tures were written was made without marked numerical design at the threshold of the sub- ject."

An ingenious method of putting his savings beyond his own reach has been adopted by a German writer, who found from dire experience that all his pro- fits melted away as soon as earned. having made £16,000 in a fortun- ate literary speculation, he placed the whole of his money, together with his will, in the Imperial Deposit Bank at Berlin, and on receiving the receipt from the cashier deliberately tore it up. The cashier thought he was mad and told him angrily that it would take ful- ly three years before he could expect to obtain a duplicate receipt. "That is just why I have torn up the origin- al," csdmly remarked the depositdr, "and now the money is safe for /that time."—fife Golden Pansy. Pass Under the Rod (13y, Mrs, Pana, by Request.) r saw a young bride in her beauty and pride, Bedecked in her snowy array; And the bright hush of joy mantled high on her cheek, And the future looked blooming and gay; And with woman's devotion she laid her fond heart At the shrine at idolatrous Iove, And anchored her hopes to this perishing earth By the charm which her tenderness wove. But I saw when the heart strings were bleeding and severed in two, She had changed her white robes for the sables of grief, And her gloom for the paleness of woe. But the Healer was there, pouring balm ori her heart, And wiping the tears from her eyes, Re strengthened the chain He had broken in twain, And fastened it firm to the skies! There had whispered a voice—Was the• voice of her God— I love thee, s loge thee—pass under the rod." I saw a young mother in tenderness bend; O'er the couch of her slumbering boy; And she kissed the soft lips as they murmur- ed her name While the dreamer lay smiling in, joy, Ot sweet was the rosebud encircled with dew When its. fragrance is flung on the air, So fresh and so bright to that mother be seemed, As he Iay in his innocence there, But I saw when she gazed on the same love- I.v form Pale as marble, and silent and cold; But paler and colder her beautiful boy, And the tare of her sorrow was told! But the rimier was there who had stricken her heart, And taken her treasure away; To allure ver to Heaven He has placed it on high, And the woman will sweetly obey. There had whispered a voice—'twas the Voice of her God— "I love thee I love thee—pass under the rod." I saw a father and mother who leaned On the arms of a dear, gifted son, And the star of the future grew bright to their gaze, As they saw the proud place he had won. And the fast coming evening of life prom- ised fair And its pathway grew smooth to their feet; And the starlight of love glimmered bright at the end, And the whispers of fancy were sweet, And I saw them again bending low o'er the grave Where their hearts' dearest hope had been Laid, And the star had gone down in the darkness of night, And the joy from their bosom bad fled. But the Healer was there and His arms were around And He led them with tenderest care; And Ile showed them a star in the bright upper world— 'Twas their star shining brilliantly there! They had each heard a voice—'twas the voice of their God— "I love thee, I love thee—pass under the rod."'

A Practical Joke, J. Adam Bede, the Minnesota con- gressman, was talking the other day about his boyhood. "The best friend of my boyhood," said Mr. Bede; "was a lad of the name of Hor- ace Brown. Horace was a joker. "He and I were out one day when we met a friend who stuttered. " `Hello, Joe,' said Horace, Where are you goinge" " To the st-store,' Joe replied. "`What after?' " `After t -t -tacks' "Horace said good-bye to Joe and then he hurried me around to the store by another way. He entered the place and he said to the clerk: "`Have y -you got any t -t -tacks?" "'Yes,' said the clerk politely. "'Then s -s -sit on them,said Horace, and hastened out. "He and I then hid behind a barrel, and in a little while .Joe appeared. Joe sauntered into the store and the clerk went over to him. "Have , you got any t -t -tacks," said Jce.

The pneumatic -tube system has been installed on a very extensive scale at the Union Station, in St. Louis, as a means of handling the baggage of the patrons of the station without the dan- ger and inconvenienceof trucking it about the platforms which are ordinar- ily made use of by the passengers. There are 32 tracks in the station at present, and these are served by an ele- vator for each pairs of tracks. The prospective passenger, having purchased his ticket has but tostep over to the, baggage booth near by and make the arrangements about 'his baggage. He receives a claim check and a correspond- ing check is sent by pneumatic tube to a central station, from which point it is sent to one of the 35 underground baggage stations, where the,transfer is made and the piecds of baggage started on their way. All of these details are arranged by means of the tubes, eight miles of which have been installed about the station for this purpose. The capacity of this marvelous plant is said to be sufficient for handling 12,000 checks per hour during the busiest part of the clay, which is late in the after- noon and 'early in the evening. The eapacitysof the pipes is not so great at other times, for the reason that there s no demand for such a service except during the rush hours. LIFE BELT FOR A MASK.

Tho most. curious Mayor elected in Britain is the mock Mayor of Worston, a tiny Lancashire hamlet of some dozen houses at the foot of Pendle Hill. Its residents have a standing entertain- ment by masquerading as the "ancient borough of Worston," and annually electing a Mayor. With splendid seriousness the candi- dates issue addresses and the residents are supplied with voting papers, the women voting as well as 'the men. The duly -elected Mayor always assumes the .style of a Privy Councillor and the rank of a knight says the London Chronicle. The holder of the office for several years has been the - .i.ight Hon. Sir William Bulcock," a laborer. He has his robes of office, a gorgeous cocked hat and huge brass chain and badge. The corporation meets in the village inn, and there ponderously discusses such mov- ing questions as the repainting of finger - posts. At the coronation this mock bor- ough had its civic rejoicings and for- warded an address to the King, who ack- nowledged it as courteously as he did the; congratulations of London or Edin- burgh. Mlnaril's Liniment Cures Dandruff. Pius X. and the "Non Erpedit" There is one burning question in Italy which never loses its vital interest, namely, whether clericals should take part in, the political life of the country, now forbidden by the Church. On this subject the Secolo says: J "There are fifty-eight candidates who ask the Vatican for the authorization to enter Parliament. The Secretary of State, Cardinal Merry del Val, second- ing the humor of Pius X., who has al- ways had a weakness for politics, has arrived at a decision. A discourse on the following lines will be made to the would-be deputies: 'As the `non-ex-pe- dit" is simply a pontifical disposition, in which cgs:science but not faith or dog- ma, is involved, the Holy See is disposed to absolve your consciences and author- ize you to put forward your candida- tures in the approaching political elec- tions. The Holy See, however, imposes, ,as an absolute condition to the pernnis- sion, the formal undertaking—which must be in writing—that in the 'exercise of your legislative functions, never un- der any pretext will you concur in or support any law which is contrary to faith, dogma or papal institutions.' The candidates who accept these conditions will be authorized to present themselves to the country, and the electors will be absolved from the `non expedit' Thus it is safe to argue, also from one hun- dred other indications, that Pius X. in- tends to apply on a vast scale the fa- vorite electoral -political system of Car- dinal Sarto, Patriarch of Venice." -The Pall Mall Gazette.

The automobile is the greatest and manifestly the most clan gerous offender, but the bicycle scorches and the reckless driver of vehicles— especially the delivery wagons of busi ness—contribute their share.
