Won Their Pardons. ; - ,j
v From the time of tbe story ef Damon
and Pythias" various reasons for tem
porary release from jail have been giv
en. It Is related that In the Napoleon
ic era a soldier confined in a' military
prison for a minor offense against the
service during a brief . time of peace
was released in order that he might
be present at the christening of bis In
fant' son, ; born ' during hia imprison
ment.' But Napoleon, In order to test
the intensity of the man's desire, made
him agree to serve a year longer for
the privilege of . a' three day furlough.
The soldier gladly did , it and when
he returned found a pardon and a cor
poral's warrant fer his infant son, to
be valid when the eon s had ;"served
with credit six months In the .emper
or's army of the future." Fredericlf
the1. Great released an audaeioms cap
tain under sentence' of death, so that
the. , captain , might "tell blm " a'few
beneficial things about r himself." ' The
things' told face to face Influenced the
great, king to; pardon the blunt death
defying soldier. New Torlc Sunl . , . ; '.
Bcaoher Found !Them. '
v " Henry Ward Beecher used to- vteit
his old friends once year for many
years, but in the latter part of bis life
he was not able to do this. In bis very
last year, however, " he' was able . to
spend a day In Indianapolis and went
round-the place. That evening, be was
receiyed ; by the ministers, . and . the
chairman in welcoming him said:.
"Doubtless. you find . few of your old
friends here in. Indianapolis . after so
many years-of, absence, but we -who
are here welcorneyou bst as warmly.?.
'Ir.' .Beecher, In: reply said:,. . v .
t'pnr chairman Has said that, f have
found.; few vof t; my.' old friends-here :-I
the city.It is true, vlfpjand only Mr.
, Mr. and-Mr,.--rV (naming
fovr or five of the old men of tbe city).:
"But this afternoon. we drove out to
Cedar Hill", (tbe cemetery), 'and . I
found them.", They are. all, there,. si eep

io tinder my sermons."
TAITT ADVi-iH TISniOMTS 01TE GEITT A WORD
. . " ' 8peed of Animal,- - ; ;
According- to tlio naturalists, no ani
mal is known- to have exceeded ' the
speed attained by the famous race
horse Sysonby. . Instantaneous photo-,
graphs show . the. full, length of . one
complete 'stride ; of about twenty-six
feet In the' stride of the . fastest racers
the hind quarters and limbs are raised
considerably higher than the shoulders
and from this relatively great height is
brought downward and forward,; wide
ly separating. -from each- other,' as'-. a
sportsman says, "to avoid striking the
fore legs." The hare which is hunted
with fast dogs has not in : reality 'the
speed of the dogj- The dog, on the other
hand, does not attain the speed -of the
horse. The giraffe is said to run" at the
rate of fifteen yards per second under
the most favorable conditions. - The
elephant, going at a rate of two yards
a second, carries a weight approximat
ing that carried by six horsed. ;
Temperature of the Body.
' The heat of the body varies at differ-
entr ages and different times , of tbe
day. v Except when, yea "are suffering
fromv fever, you are never so hot as
when you are born. ' The temperature
of a newborn baby la? about 102 de
grees, but during th first day it rap
idly goes, down te 97 degrees, rising
again to . a little above the . average
temperature, of a grownup person.
which is about 98 degrees. The heat
of -your body, varies as much as two
degrees .in twenty-four hours. The
minimum is reached about 4 o'clock! in
the ' morning, when your .vitality is at
its lowest, and the maximum about 4
in the afternoon.;! People who work
by night and " sleep during ' the day,
however, are coldest in the afternoen
and warmest in the. early morning. It
is ; a remarkable, fact that' we nearly
always die if our 'blood .varies more
than ' a' few degrees .either ' way. , A
temperature' below, 95. degrees or above
106: degrees is generally'' fatal. iPear-
son's. . . . . ;
Criminals and Crime.
Is. the criminal so because he wamts
to be so? No more wicked fallacy, was
ever - foisted upon a credulous world,
than ' this; 'Kebbdy at any period 6t
the world ever wished to be criminal.
Every one instinctively bates and fears
crime. Every one Is "honest-, by, nature.
It la inherent in the souL I have never
met a , criminal who did! not hate; his
crime even more' than his condemners
hate it" The-, apparent : exception is
when-the man does ent-consider his
act a crime. He has killed !v because
bis victim exasperated him ; to it.. He
has robbed .society "because society
made war on him. The offender hates
hiscrime. ' ' ' -'!-'' ' ' '
-i But he- is not ashamed f it?
. Now; that is true. He Is not asham
ed of it in the current sense. ' He hates
It, he fears it, but It does not fill him
with- a sense of sin. H. Fielding Hall
in AtlanUc Monthly. : 1

V - Why Not Schools For Men '
, No man ever feels the need of educa
tion 'so much i as ' the man' - who sees
opportunity' for advancement open be
fore him,' but who does not dare to
taker-fx 'for fear "that he Vcan7not rise
tolt It is useless " to say anything
to -such"--' man "about '-neglected p
portoni ties, and it is equally futile to
say the same thing to the youth who
is neglecting his studies. - The first
cannot go' back and live his boyhood
over; -'the latter cannot comprehend
his ' danger, nor ' will he believe In hia
own - possibilities, nor can he really
study intelligently things for! which he
is not sufficiently mature. The few
who" mature ' early , enough in life- to
go . through ; . technical schools or col
leges are provided 'for. Can" we not
provide men's, -schools-' for -those who
