The Boston Transcript tells an arous- ing story of one of the subjects of Lord Kitchener, consul general in Egypt, who turned the power and lii- flnoiice of the famous English soldier to bis persounl prolit. While driving one dity Lord Kitch- ener noticed an old man in the street whom be recognized as an acquaintance from the Sudan. The consul general ordered the driver to stop and Invited I hi- old HIM i to take a seut In the car- riage. So the two drove together through the town to tlio plnce to which the Sudanese wanted to go. A few days later the dark friend of Lord Kitchener was seen hovering about the British agency. At last nn officer asked him what he wanted. "I should so much like to drive out with Lord Kiteliener once more," the old man replied. "Why?" the officer asked. "You see." -the Sudanese answered naively, "after uiy friends uud ac- quaintances saw me sitting at the side of Lord Kitchener they came to me, one after the other, and from ouo I received 5, from another JJ. from oth- ers fl nnd 40 plasters from the very poorest. They nil believe that I could speak in fnvor of ICI Lord. "And," the old unu added, "I should very much like to see that happen all over again." VARYING FORCE_OF RADIUM. Powert of the Three Different Rays Alpha, Beta and Gamma. There lire three kiwis of so called rays having their iu.-iiiiiir origin In ra- dium. The three r.-ivs arc kuown as alpha, beta and gamma rays, nnd each of these tins characteristic pmillarl- ties. The alpha r.iys Imvo u range luside of half an Inch from their source, the beta rays reach iiliout three times as far. nuil the gamma rays nre yet more penetrating. A tliln sheet of pupcr or a film of tin foil or mica will effectual- ly halt the nlplu rays. A millimeter of lend or five millimeters of alumini- um will stop the further progress of the het.'i rays, hut HIP gnimna rays ill go through nineteen centimeters of iron or seven i-<>ntliiieti'rn of lead before their original intensity Is reduced 1 per rent. The alpha rays consist of positively < v ha reed atoms of helium advuminp: at a velocity of 12.000 miles n second, and the beta rays uro negatively charged bodies projrv trcl at a tpeed of quite liX>,000 miles In tin.- same interval of time. ItoiiKlily, tlic beta rays are a (in mil I'd times more penetrating than the alpha rays, while the pimma rays, In their turn, nre a hundredfold as searching as the beta rays. Kxclmnge. PICTURESQUE DAMASCUS. A Garden City Whose Beauty Halted Mohammed at It* Gate*. The Lotcl in Damascus ID which we stay is culled the Graud Victoria, hut It Is above n blacksmith shop nnd n saddle shop. The lower stories lire mostly blunk, bare walls. From the upper stories project balconies of lut- tlcetl oriels, some of which- extern! so far over the street us to make It easy for the veiled damsel of the Imrem to leap across. In contrast with those plain exteri- ors the Interiors are often exquisitely beautiful, having nn open court paved with marble uud u fountain fed by the waters of the Abnna, tinkling and splashing through the hot hours of the day, nnd wooing one to rest during the cool of the evening. Palms, orange trees nnd oleanders stand hero and there. Within the house you discover rooms cold and formal to an Atneftlcan. but brillinnt with oriental hangings, brasses nnd InluIQ inotuer-of-pearl fur- nishings. Damascus is perhaps the second city iu importance In the mind of the Mohammedans. It is a garden city mndc to be Indeed an oasis In the desert by the Abiinn river, which, find- ing life In the snows of Itcrmuifs breast, flows through this city with In- creasing volume as If it Intended to regenerate the desert, Into which It pours all Its wealth, and does verita- bly make this section to "blossom as the rose." It Is not to be wondered at that Mohammed drew rein outside the walls when first he saw the city and said. "Since man can enter paradise but once, I will not enter this earthly paradise lest I be shut out from the heavenly." Christian Herald. Primrose League.

They bad been friends at school, but eons had pass- ed, and uow, ufter some ten years, (hey began to discuss their present jobs of motherhood and journalism. However, journalism seemed to fill most of the time, and motherhood was dismissed after a few desultory ques- tions about Hilly, whose fame consist- ed In being seven years old and just entering school. "Oh. tell me about your work," snid the mother. "There Is quite u bit to tell of It." said the egotistical woman of business Mi'l immediately taunchcd upon the joys, woes, disadvantages and advan- tages of the business woman's career. "My. but that Is most Interesting!" said the mother, whose eyes were pop- pin:; out of her head nt the mere men- tion of Hie famous persons the jour- nalist knew. "1 certainly shall buy your magazine and read ill" "Crand Central station!" mumbled die guard. Coodby," said the mother. "Your life Is certainly worth while." "(Joodby," replied the journalist.

Two incidents recall the keenness and the thomiiKlincss the reat twin abilities, to see and to utilize of lien Franklin. One day lie chanced to ob- serve a lady In the possession of aii imported whisk broom. With his usual Interest and careful consideration he examined It as a novelty. He discov- ered on the brush uf the broom a seed which he carefully removed. Present- ly he planted It. and the growth from this seed was the lirat crop of broom corn in this country. Again one day when Dr. Franklin was walking by Dock creek he saw stuck In the mud a wlckenvork basket, which bad sprout- ed. Carefully bo tished out the basket and carefully took It apart. He gave cuttings to his friend, Charles Norrls. who planted the twigs In his garden, where they grew to great si/e. They turned out to be yellow willows and, as Franklin had foreseen, proved of great commercial value. Stage Paint.

RIGOROUS SCHOOLING. Ho Carried to His Death the Lesson He Learned at Eton. Dr. Keate, the terrible head master .'f Eton, encountered one winter morn- ug a small boy crying- miserably and isked hi m what was the matter. The hikl replied that ho was cold. "Cold!"' :oarcd Keate. "You must put up with 'old, sir: You are not at a girls' school!" It is a horrid anecdote, and I am kind hcatred enough to wish that Dr. 1C ente, who was not without Ills genial moods, had taken the lad to some gen- erous fire (presuming such n thing was to lie found) nnd had wariucd his fro- /.cn hands and feet. Hut it so chanced that in that little snivelling boy there lurked a spark of pride and a spark ot fun, and both Ignited at the rough touch of the master. lie probably stopped crying, and he certainly remembered the sharp ap- peal to manhood, for fifteen years later, with the Third dragoons, he charged sit the strongly intrenched Sikhs (30.000 of the best fighting men of the IChaisa) on the curving banks of the Sntlej. And ns the word was given he turned to his superior officer, n fellow Eton- ian, who was scanning the stout walls nnd (he belching guns. "As old Kcatc would say, this is no girls' school," he chuckled, and rode to his death on the battlefield of Sobraon, which gave La- hore to England. Agues Ucpplier in Atlantic. CORRECTED BY A SENTRY. The Incident Which Led to Coleridge Retiring From the Army. In his young days the poet Coleridge had a little love affair which ended Iu disaster, for the lady refused him. In despair he enlisted In n cavalry regi- ment, which he hoped would be or- dered on foreign service, that he might end his blighted career on the tented lield. For family reasons he dropped his correct name, but from n feeling of sentiment retained the initials, so Sam- uel Taylor Coleridge became Private Silas Tompklns Cambcrhatch. The regiment did not leave the coun- try, and it was not long beforo his soul wearied of barrack life and Its utter absence of romance. Ills military life ended In a curious fashion. One day while Coleridge was doing a weary son try go two officers strolled past. Ono of them made use of a (5 reek quo- tation, which the other corrected. The lirst Insisted on his correctness, while the other was Just ns positive he wns wrong. While they disputed, the sentry sud- denly presented arms and respectfully informed them that they were both hi error. He gave the exact quotation, name of the author and other circum stances. If his musket had spoken the hearers could not have been more as- tonished. The incident led to an In- quiry, nnd tlie poet was restored to the bosom of his family.
