It was awarded to her a. a recent meeting of the society's council because of her Investigations on the electric arc and also as to the nature of sand tipples. Mrs. Ayrton enjoys two other enviable distinctions. She Is the only woman member of the Institute of Klectrlcal Engineers, and four yea.-s ago was nominated a Fellow of the Koyal society. Tnls Is the first time the' highest tribunal of English science had nomlnaud a woman. It was each an honor that It attracted Immense attention everywhere, and opinion was expressed that the election of a woman was illegal. The Royal society thereupon took the highest Judicial opinion, which was that the council had no power to elect a woman. Therefore. Mrs. Ayrton cannot put the

HORSE WENT TO CHURCH.

If. n. Smith of Monterey. Cal.. Jtas a remarkable bay horse. Mueslis, which appears to have more religious Instinct than the majority of animals The horse has been used by Mr. Smith for the last Zu years to draw the faml- > to the village church. In the laat SO years there have been only two Sundays on which Muggins didn't have to carry some member of the family to church The second occasion was s few Sundays ago. A year ago the horse was turned Into the yard for a little Sunday tecruatlon and nothing more waa thought of Muggins cntll the far distant toll of the church b*i]l was heard. Then the horse pricked up his ears, and realising that he was late, alarted of at a quick pace for the church. He wont directly under the abed and took his accustomed place, where he remained until it was time to go home. A couple of weeks ago the horse made his second appearance at the church alone. Mr. Smith had placed Muggins in a stall and had left the stable door slightly ajar. The old bell tolled exceptionally loud and long, and Muggins could not resist the call. In some manner he slipped bis halter and made his way from the stable to the church, where he remained until the service was over. The parson patted the horse affectionately as he trotted up to the door, and then ho started on his homeward Journey.

Scientific Research.)

She is well known In the United I States, for she visited there six years : ago. and at the Electrical Congress In Chicagowead one of the most Inter- | eating of the papers. At 16. Mrs. Ayrton had graduated ! and began to earn her living as a pro- ! lessor at Clrton college. Cambridge, then In its Infancy as a college for women. She was surely the youngest | teacher in the history of Girtcn. It ' was there that she took up her first researches Into mathematics and physics. She invented a spby mograph for recording pulse beats, bn: finding something similar on the mar ket. abandoned hers and patented a line divider—an instrument for Immediately dividing np a line into any number of equal parts. For nine years Mrs. Ayrton dr voted herself to her family life. Then In 1693 her husband was summoned to the United States on business, l.ts wervlcea have often been asked as an expert by India. Japan, the United States, in fact, all parts of the world, la bis absence. Mrs Ayrton continued his work, his Investigations and ex l< riments on the electric arc. Seven years later, when his paper on the y ibject. read before the International Electrical congress, was unfortunately burned In Chicago. Mrs. Ayrton surprised her husband by writing s sub stitute on the points he had noticed, which he declared waa heller than the original. From that time on. she continued her Investigations on her own account. For the past six years she has given the electric arc her con tinned attention. Now having completed her work and solved the knotty problems, she will publish her results In book form. It Is partly for this that the Hughes medal of the Royal society was awarded her. Her other achievement Is establishing the cause and effect of sand tipples by the tides. This Is m valuable In the charting, navigation, and ultimate straightening of winding rivers. It was her first hobby as a child on the seaside. Now she has a score of bngc tanks, with sand and pebbly bottoms. Sets of rollers move the waters, and the onlooker can see the sand gradually forming Into rip-

Whooping Cough Curea.

Much recent progress In dealing with whooping cough Is noted by a French reviewer. The specific microbe has been Isolated, and proves to be a small ovoid bacterium that evidently produces no spores. Dr. J. NIttis reports that arsenic, to which he attributes specific action on term, la a most effective remedy ist the disease. Dr. H. de Rothschild has administered chloroform Internally, and has had very favorable resnlts. especially In children, two pa-' tlents out of nine haring been cured at once, while three were Immediately relieved and aoon cured, the four others being cured only at tbe end of fortnight.

DID NOT BELIEVE STORY.

"When I was a youth in Zanesville." said E. S. Timms, clerk at the Hotel Normandie, the other day. “1 was an active worker In a local Sunday school. I was pretty popular with the boys, I was delegated to gather the outsiders from the glass works district together In a vacant storeroom and begin their religious Instruction. "One Sunday I gathered about 45 youngsters who had never attended Sunday school before, and as they did not take kindly to the reading of the Scriptures and the regular Sunday school methods. I began telling them tales from the Old Testament They listened with much Interest to tbe stories of Adam and Eve. and Moses In the bullrushes. and so on. but when I came to the story of Jonah and the whale they listened with particular attention. “When I concluded tbe story of how Jonah w-as cast overboard from the ship and received by the whale wbo afterwards cast him up on shore, one fellow broke the silence by saying: “ '1 believe that's a d— He. Give me a chaw of terbacker.' “Well, everybody Joined In a langb. and 1 passed over the .remark. In time I got about SO of those boys to attend Sunday school regularly."—Detroit Free Press. When Her Anger Vanished. She was telling a few visltora. among whom waa her best friend, what a brute her husband bad been; bow he had left her to cry her eyes out when they lived together, had borrowed money from her and never paid It back, and finally left her to get along the best she could alone; all about her trials and tribulations getting along till she could scramble to her feet again and reestablish herself. and— Just about that time there was a ring at the bell. She sprang np. rushed Into the hall, hurried to the outer door, opened It; there was the sound of a little smothered cry, a kiss, and her best friend, left In the with tbe others, arose and said,

softly;

•J think we'd better be going now. Something seems to tell me that that !a her husband."

Comment and Suggestive Thought "The bush burning, yet not consumed. has always been regarded as an emblem of Israel In Egypt. Moses. In his farewell blessing of the tribes, could find no richer benediction of tbe sons of Joseph than to wish for them The good will of Him that dwelt In the bush.' The Church of Scotland, therefore, has not made an inapprounwarranted nae of this emblem, when, looking at bar own history, how she was cradled in persecution. she has put upon her banner a representation of the burning bush, with the legend: 'Nec tamcn consumebatur.' 'Yet It was not consumed.'"— W. M. Taylor. Objections and Their Aw swers.—Vn 11-H: also to Ex. 8:17. may bare known that Ramesee II. had been succeeded by his son Menephlah. n much weaker ruler; bat be understood thoroughly tbe mighty power of Egypt, and. conscious of his own Insignificance, It Is small wonder that he began to bring forward objeoUons to God’s amazing proposal First Objection.

Second Objection, the People's Idolatry. 12. Moses remembered bow Ignorant the Hebrews were concerning the God of their fathers. When hr brought them a message from God. would be sure to ask: "What Is his name?" "Tbe Egyptians bad varigods. and Israel, long used to their practices, would be sure to ask after of the God whose messengcr Moses wan How was be to b< tmed to them?”—Alford.

THE BEAT OF THE PULSE. H Varies tlrewtlr la DtOvrvvt gee sons aaS CoaOltlsas. The pulse of women generally beats at a sllcbily faster rate than that of men. It may be said that when a |«rnon Is at rest bis pulse, that of any adult, may be from seveuty-firr to elgbty times a minute. Great variation exists In different Individuals It spect of tbe number of beats. After nereis# tbe pulse quickens because of tbe stimulation of tbe bearL and tbe same result applies to tbe effects of taking food. A dose of alcohol will also stimulate tbe pulse somewhat. Just tbe use of tobacco. es|ieclally In excess, will tend to here an oppoeltr effect— namely, Ibnt of lowering the rate of tbe pulse, because of tbe depression of the heart which results. In fevers and Inflammatory diseases the pulse rate tends to be very much Increased and also In respect of Its character. Instead of beating quietly the blood vessel In such esses exhibits n very full and bounding movement. On tbe other band, where depression exists and tbe temperature of the body falls, Ibe poise may be unnaturally alow and Its character weak. Physicians are a tomed to distinguish other characteristics In tbe poise, inch as become valuable bints In tbe discovery and deter ml nation of disease. Tbe practical lesson we learn here Is Unit where the poise continues for any length of time to heve Its brats quickened to nc natural degree and where especially n rise of the temiierature or beat of the body accompanies these symptoms we ought to s us port some kind of feverish condition or other to be represented. Tbe pulse alone forms n valuable enough guide to this state of tbe body, but Its value Is very much Increased If to tbe Information given us by the pulse we add that a-blcb tlie use of tbe thermometer supplies.—Cardiff Times.

refuse to follow Ms Answer, the Gift of Mlraclulous Power. "What is that In thine band?" Jehovah asked; and bestowed upon the common shepherd's staff Wm powto become a serpent at the bid ding of Moses, while the band Itself, thrust into his bosom, became white with leprosy, and thrust In again, be—lilM: more. One other miracle, the turning of water Into blood, waa definitely promised. Fourth Objection, of Speech. Moses foresaw that tbe great task would require much talking. and he was not an orator. An 'Who hath made man's month?" was Jehovah's grand reply. Doobtleas If Moses had accepted the assurance. God wonld have developed the oratorical power that be certainly poesessed. and he would not have been ■bilged to share with another tbe glory that God meant for him alone The Great Task <» Begun.—Ex. 4 18-31: chapters 6 and 4- Obtaining JethroT .... . leaving bit wife and children in their safe home, Moses set out upon his perilous undertaking. He waa met by Aaron, and the two old men. after an affectionata greeting, formed their plans for the campaign that waa can so ranch to the world. Practical Points. Evary one has a work for which Ood sets him apart, at truly aa Moses. u one else can do your work. Ood does not always disclose a iso's work early in life. Nothing Is gained by moving ahead at God s tima. as Mooes did in hit att>-m;i. Too fast In music Is :1 at loo slow. kcaws b:s: bow to prepart us
