The Savannah VOL. XXIII. FISH GUNNING FOR HARRIMAN Promises to Do Things to Big Railroad Boss if He Gets Control. A MORAL OBLIGATION Strenuous Contest for, Upper Hand in Control of Illinois Central Will Soon Reach the Climax. "If I obtain a majority of proxies to be voted at the annual meeting of the Illinois Central Railroad company, I shall depose Edward H. Harriman as a director," declared Stuyvesant Fish in an affidavit filed before the superior court in Chicago Friday. Mr. Fish reiterated the statement that Harriman is seeking control of the Illinois Central in the interest of the Union Pacific. Mr. Fish, in his affidavit, which is a reply to that filed Thursday in the name of Mr. Harriman and other directors of the Illinois Central, declared that he has been a benefactor of J. T. Harahan, now president of the Illinois Central. He asserts that he saved Harahan from dismissal several years ago when Harriman and George A. Peabody declared that Harahan had outlived his usefulness to the company. Mr. Fish sets forth that there was perfect harmony in the railroad company until the winter of 904-05, when Harriman and Peabody sought establishment of an executive committee to which discretionary powers were to be delegated. He declares in the affidavit that he incurred additional enmity when he refused to become a party to a report whitewashing the officials of the Mutual Life Insurance company. The assertion is also made that Harriman and Peabody broke faith with Fish in 1906, when they agreed that a man independent of any faction was to be elected to the directorate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of William Morton Grinnell. Harriman, he says, attempted to secure the election of Henry W. DeForest, an attorney of Mr. Harriman's, who was also a director of the Southern Pacific, which is dominated by the Union Pacific. Mr. Fish declares in his affidavit that since 1877 it has been the custom of the railroad to loan its idle funds to officers' or directors of the railroad or to firms of which they are members, or to corporations of which they are officers. Mr. Fish insists in his affidavit that Harriman and Peabody were among those who took advantage of the custom of the company in loaning these funds. He declares that all of his loans were recorded on the books of the company and that the collateral was good and sufficient. Referring to the loan of $57,000 to the Trust company of the Republic, Mr. Fish asserts that it was good, but that in the panic of 1903 the collateral depreciated. Of the total amount $38,000 has been paid and that the company will lose nothing. Mr. Fish charges that the accusations of mismanagement made against him are untrue. He admits being a director of the Missouri Pacific railroad, which is to him a competitor of the Illinois Central, but says that the charges that he desires domination over the affairs of the Illinois Central for the benefit of the Missouri Pacific are false and slanderous. In the affidavit made by Mr. Fish the following is included: "It is true that if I obtain a majority of the proxies I propose to put Harriman off the board of directors of the Illinois Central. I have pledged myself to do this, and I deem it my duty to do so, both in the interests of myself as a holder of 2,462 shares of stock, in the interest of the patrons of the road, of the people of Illinois and of the United States, and to whom the removal of such an individual as Harriman is shown to be by the interstate commerce commission report, No. 942, would be a welcome sign of returning morality in the management of the great corporations of the country." ANTI-TOXIN WAS DEATH-DEALING. Man in Good Health Succumbed Immediately After an Injection. Ely Weltzel, aged 34 years, fell dead in doctor's office at Norristown, Pa., after he had been given an injection of anti-toxin. A five-year-old daughter of Mr. Weltzel is ill with diphtheria, and as a preventative it was decided to administer the drug to the father. RAMPANT AGITATION Against Railroads is Condemned by Georgia Federation of Labor in Official Address. · In an address, issued at Atlanta, Friday, by the executive board of the Georgia Federation of Labor, a plea for more conservative action on the part of state and national officers in their dealings with railroads is made, while more stringent immigration laws, the passage of the Beveridge anti-child labor bill and the establishment of the parcels post are recommended. The greater part of the address is devoted to the discussion of anti-railroad legislation. It is claimed that "the rampant agitation against railroads in the past few years has caused greater losses to the people of America than all the strikes of the last hundred years, and all that are likely to occur in the next century." It is also declared that the threats of impending legislation are doing more harm than any laws actually passed or rate reductions actually made. While organized labor does not wish a swing of the pendulum back to the abuses of olden days, it would have done with the popular clamor against railroads which has resulted in thousands of men finding themselves without work. BAD OUTLOOK AT GOLDFIELD. General Funston Makes an Investigation and Reports Results. After having confered with many citizens of Goldfield, Nevada, Friday, General Funston stated to the Associated Press that he is finding conditions worse than he had anticlimated. "The possibilities of further trouble growing out of the difficulties between the mine owners and the miners," the said, "are greater than my information previous to coming to Goldfield had led me to believe. I have just telegraphed a second report to Washington, which is based on the information I have gathered today. I do not believe the governor, will declare martial law at once. I will not advise such action until it is absolutely necessary. As to the matter of patrolling the vicinity of the mines and the streets of the city, with the regulars, that is a procedure that may become necessary at any hour." Neither General Funston or Governor Sparks yielded to the pressure that had been brought to induce them to favor the withdrawal of the troops before the arrival of the labor commission from Washington. ROOSEVELT-STICKS TO TAPE lative Evidence That President Roosevelt is still loyal to Taft, is proven by much cumulative evidence, says a Washington dispatch. The latest is the appointment of Charles R. Barker, as postmaster at Anniston, Ala. This appointment was sent to the senate a few days ago. It develops that State Chairman Brown had suggested another man, but the president turned down the state chairman because he was not satisfied with the latter's position in regard to presidential candidates. He had been active against Taft. Jap Ambassador Plans to Leave Washington Last of December. Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador who has been summoned home by his government for consultation regarding conditions in the United States as affecting the Japanese, is preparing to get away from Washington by the last of the month. CITY WITHOUT POLICE FORCE. Court Decision, Places Meridian, Miss., in Serious Quandary. As a result of the decision of the Mississippi state supreme court, declaring void the amendment to the city's charter creating a police commission by whom the present police force was selected. Meridian is left SET FIRE TO HIS MONEY. Aged Farmer, on Dying Bed, Burned Ten Thousand Dollars in Bills. John Gordon, a farmer. Living near Marion, Ohio, burned $10,000 in bills Sunday a short time before he died. Gordon was 85 years old and in the last few weeks had grown childish. He had steadfastly refused to put the $10,000, the savings of years, into a bank, but kept the bills under his pillows. Sunday he amused himself by setting fire to them and watching them burn. He succumbed to heart disease soon afterward. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 21. 1907. LABOR UNIONS ARE ENJOINED Boycot Against Buck Stove Company Declared Illegal Conspiracy. Action of Federation of Labor Given Hard Rap By Judge in District of Columbia Tribunal. Of far-reaching importance to labor and business interests throughout the country was a decision announced on Tuesday by Justice Gould of the equity court of the District of Columbia, enjoining the American Federation of Labor, with its membership of two million or more, from boycotting the Buck Stove and Range company of St. Louis and from printing in its official organ the company's name in "unfair" and "we don't patronize" lists, and the decision arraigns the action of the federation as an illegal conspiracy. The injunction granted, while of a temporary character, was allowed in a decision in which Justice Gould exhaustively reviewed the case, made copious citations of authorities quoted precedents as to boycott definitions, and said there was no room for argument as to the conspiracy alleged being established. The question of a permanent injunction will come up probably next spring, and which ever side wins in the final settlement, the case, it is believed, will be appealed to the supreme court of the United States. Judge Gould pointed out that he had not, in his decision, taken up the question of inhibition of the boycott under the Sherman anti-trust law or the interstate commerce act. Judge Gould said it was not surprising that there was so little difference of opinion among the courts upon the question involved, and that the conclusion that such combinations as that disclosed by the affidavits filed by the Buck Store company in this case were held to be unlawful was based upon an appreciation of the fundamental rights of free men in a free country. He said there was little room for argument or discussion of the question, as the plaintiff company had shown the existence of an unlawful combination and conspiracy to destroy his business. Judge Gould also handed down two opinions granting permanent injunction in the case of Bender against the Bakers and Confectioners' Union and Lawson against the International Carriage and Wagos Workers, two local cases, which the court ruled along the same lines as the Buck stove case. A bill in equity was filed by the Buck Stove and Range company last August for a permanent injunction restraining the federation from boycotting the company and putting it on the "unfair" list and later a supplemental bill was filed charging that notwithstanding the pending proceeding, the federation, was still actively engaged in pressing the boycott and a temporary injunction, passed upon Tuesday, was asked for. The American Federation of Labor was not only named as defendant in this case, but also President Gompers and Secretary Morrison of the federation individually, as well as nine others of the executive council of the federation individually. The Buck company, which runs an "open" shop, alleged that the labor organizations placed its name on the "unfair" and "we don't patronize" lists in the labor publications, and that the boycott also was carried on through thousands of circular letters to the company's customers and the public generally, and by threatening the company's customers with loss of labor patronage and business. PRESIDENT AT HAMPTON_ROADS. Teddy Leaves Washington to Give Battleships the Send-Off Command. President Roosevelt, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, and a distinguished company of guests, sailed on the naval yacht Mayflower from the Washington navy yard Sunday afternoon for Hampton Roads. The president, in his capacity as commander-in-chief of the United States navy, is to give the word of command sending the Atlantic battleship fleet on its cruise to the Pacific. His Satanic Majesty loves a cheerful grafter. A HOPELESS TASK Confronts Prohibition Statesmen Who Should Dare to Urge Universal "Dry" Statute by Congress. A Washington special says: The prohibition question is pivile wire with statesmen from the south just now, especially those who come from states that have already, or are about to enact statutory prohibition laws. So full of current is the wire, that they are sidestepping and tiptoeing, in an effort to placate their constituents and at the same time maintain their reputations. It's a job, too, is this attempt to escape the "laugh" list and satisfy the folks at home who are yelling for prohibition. Here is the hitch: There is in the constitution of the United States a paragraph which insures to each state the right to govern and regulate its internal affairs—state's rights—but the prohibitionists at home, the wool hat boys and the good women who mould public sentiment, insist upon a national prohibition law. The senator or representative who introduces a bill to "dry" up the United States will at once go down as the biggest "laugh" of the sixtieth congress, yet. If he fails and cannot explain, he may remain at home. Senators and representatives, especially those coming from the dry and partially dry states of the south, are being pestered to their wits' end by enthusiastic temperance leaders among their constituents who believe a national prohibition bill not only possible, but probable. Their daily mail is full of letters and petitions urging them to propose statutory prohibition for all of the United States, Porto Rlco, Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines and Cuba, if necessary. Thus far no such legislation has been proposed, and no such bill is likely to fall in the hopper of either house, bearing the authorship of a southern statesman. And it is hardly probable that the temperance leaders in other sections, of the country can induce any of their representatives to champion such a measure. The reason should be obvious, especially to southerners, but there are many representatives and senators in Washington who are ready to sweep to the contrary. In their enthusiasm, some of the temperance leaders outside of congress seem to have forgotten about the civil war and the underlying causes for the bloody conflict—they have eradicated from their memories all thought of state's rights "Talk about centralization," exclaimed a prominent senator from the south in a discussion of national prohibition, "but the temperance folks today take the cake. They would out-Hamilton Hamilton, they would sweep away the last vestige of state's, rights in a single move, with a single stroke of the pen, and then see the supreme court set it back again. "I am a prohibitionist, I have always been one, and, further, I am a temperature man—I practice what I preach, but I can never and will never vote for a bill in congress to regulate and control the internal affairs of the states. I believe each state should regulate its own affairs, and though I sincerely hope to see the day when liquor has been driven from each of them, I will not vote to place the power in the federal government. When we reach that stage, we might as well abandon our state governments." The senator in question is a prohibitionist, and as he himself said, he is also a temperance man. He has been greatly annoyed during the last two weeks or ten days by the number of letters and petitions he has received urging him to introduce a national prohibition bill in congress, but believing as he does, and his father before him did, in the sovereign right of each state to regulate its internal affairs he will not stultify himself by proposing such legislation. And this particular senator is not alone. Dozens of others have been bealed to present such a bill in congress, and every one who has been approached gives practically the same reasons for not doing it. DEFENDER OF HOME PARDONED. Alabama Governor Once Again Approves of the "Unwritten Law." In issuing a pardon to Thomas Kennedy of Jackson county for killing a man who betrayed his daughter, Governor Comer of Alabama, said: "This man was convicted of an offense committed in defense of his home; such offenses as these. I think right to overlook, and to pardon the offender, that he may return to the continued care and protection of his family." MIGHTY INFLUX OF FOREIGNERS To Shores of United States During the Last Fiscal Year. Total Number of Immigrants Arriving from Various Countries Placed at 1,285,349. South Gets Goodly Share. Immigration for the year ending June 30, 1907, was vastly greater than in any previous year in the history of the United States. The fact, with all its interesting and important details, is placed in strong light in the annual report of Frank P. Sargent, commissioner general of immigration and naturalization, which was made public at Washington Sunday. Of this great flood of immigrants, Commissioner Sargent says: "An army of 1,285,349 souls, they have come, drawn hither by the free institutions and the marvelous prosperity of our country—the chance here afforded every honest toller to gain a livelihood by the sweat of his brow or the exercise of his intelligence—surpassing in numbers the record of all preceding years." The immigration for the year 1907 exceeded that for 1905 by 184,614, and that for the year 1905 by 258,850, or an increase of over the year 1906 of more than 17 per cent, and over the year 1905 of more than 25 per cent. During the fiscal year 1906, 12,432 aliens were rejected at our ports; during the past fiscal year, 13,164, an increase of 632; hence the total number of those who have sought admission in 1907, viz.: 1,298,413, exceeds the number who applied in 1906, viz.: 1,113,167, by 185,246. Commissioner Sargent says it is of particular significance that many immigrants landed at ports in the south during the past year, and he refers especially to a party of 473 Belgians—excellent types of immigrants—received at Charleston, S. C., having been induced to go there by the state authorities. The increase of immigration to the south, the commissioner says, "is directly connected with the growing desire of the southern states to draw within their boundaries a number of the better classes of immigrants, it being considered by practically all of the leading men of that section that the future development and welfare of the south depend upon its ability to receive and absorb a reliable laboring and farming element." Striking increases are also shown at New Orleans, Galveston and Honolulu. Interest naturally attaches to the proportionately large immigration from Japan. While the exclusion laws have rendered practically nil the immigration from China, the immigration from Japan, although relatively not great, has doubled in the past year. This increase is significant, too, because it comes in the face of regulations adopted by the American government, with the assent of Japan, which it was supposed, would curtail the immigration of Japanese to this country very materially. The reports show that thousands of Japanese landed in Mexico during the past year, and ultimately gained admission, surreptitiously, into this country. Once in the United States it was impossible to locate them, except in the rarest instances. The total amount of money brought into the country by arriving allens was $25,599,893, or an average of almost $20 per person. Of the 3,064 allens who were turned back during the year, 1,434 were contract laborers, 30 per cent less than in the preceding year. In a discussion of the new immigration act, Commissioner Sargent very strongly urges that advantage be taken of a provision it contains for calling an international conference on immigration and emigration. RECEIVERS FOR EXPOSITION NAMED Judge Selects Three Men to Wind Up Affairs at Jamestown. Judge Edmund Waddill of the United States circuit court at Richmond, has announced the receivers for the Jamestown Exposition company. They are Messrs. Alvah H. Martin, late director general of the exposition, Edward T. Lamb of Norfolk and William M. Geddes of Washington. The National Bank of Commerce of Norfolk is made the depository for all funds received. A bond of $50,000 is required of the receivers. Secretary of the Treasury is sitting in a small apartment in Washington today night, surrounded as unquietly by fellow Treasury rangers of many nationalities, all of his friends, by breathing a sigh of his interest. The secretary declares that neither he nor the friends have used these insignes in behalf of any candidate for the presidency, nor that he has not been a candidate for anything but the candidate of the people. He adds that if he should hereafter decide to be a candidate for any office he will say, so frankly. The statement follows. "December 17, 1867. I do not know that I am called upon to make a statement at this time, but in view of the various rumors in circulation as to the alleged political activity of friends in mine in my interest, I will say that I have not been a candidate for anything but the confidence of the people in the discharge of my duties to Secretary of the treasury. I have not received names sought nor have the already given names have been mentioned in this connection, sought in influence political movements in my interest. I have not nor have they used any inducement directly or indirectly, to secure political support for or against any candidate for the presidency, and accusations that such has been done are unqualifiedly false. In no office, in no one of three departments with which I have been connected, have I authorized or permitted officials or employees to attempt to influence any such movements, nor shall I do so. "In common with many other citizens, I have decided views as to policies and as to candidates, but I shall abstain from expressing them until bellow it is proper for me. Ulysse." rumors as those to which I have referred. If in the future, I shall decide to be a candidate for any office I shall be prepared to say so frankly and state the grounds upon which I ask for support. In the meantime I shall try, as I have tried in the past, to conduct the treasury department for the benefit of the people of the whole country, and absolutely without regard to whether any action I may take in the line of my duty, may adversely affect my personal fare. GEORGE B. CORTELYO NEGROES DIE IN ELECTRIC CHALLENGE Two are Seat to Doom for Murder of Woman and Servant Girl.

CHAS Asst. General Pass Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing. As labor saving machinery has been invented to save time and physical strength, so there are devices to enable the mind to reach quickly and accurately results usually arrived at with much thought and tedious calculation. Time is worth much, but accuracy is still more important. Many books have been prepared to make the task of calculating easy, its results sure, but never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of business, at all times, so completely as "ROPP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR." This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold.

Hunting the Wild Honey Bee. By DAVID ALMON. Honey, or a colony for an apiary, is the usual object of bee hunting; but, even if one is not particularly desirous of these things, the outdoor exercise, the necessity' of keen perceptive powers and a little excitement now and then, should prove sufficient recommendations. Autumn is the best season for the sport, for then the supply of nectar runs low in the flowers, and the bees will be quick to take our bait. This consists of a pint bottle filled with honey that has been diluted with an equal quart of warm water. For its use we have a specially prepared wooden box about four and one-half inches square; it is bottomless, but at the top there is a piece of glass that slides in grooves. Fixed in the box so as to leave open spaces on two sides is what bee-keepers call a feeder, being an arrangement containing little troughs from which the bees can sip their syrup without danger of falling in. Many hunters, it is true, use for this purpose devices less elaborate (your farmer's boy is generally content with an ordinary glass tumbler and a piece of honeycomb); but it is always well to use the best possible equipment. The necessity for some kind of a trap containing sweets becomes evident when it is considered that a bee will not make a line for home until its honey sac is full, which means, when nectar is flowing the freest, a visit to seven or eight flowers and frequently in the fall to more than a hundred flowers—this, too, despite the fact that its honey sac has room for only a tiny drop, being less than one-seventh of an inch in diameter when extended to its limit. So, with our bait and hunting-box and a binocular field glass, we sally forth. There are many other things we shall need when we have found our bee-tree, but, until we do, it would be foolish to encumber ourselves with them. It is a fine fall morning. The trees are beginning to robe themselves in their fiery foliage, and although the country is bathed in a flood of genial sunshine, there is enough snap in the air to make walking a treat. Up the road we go, and then across country to the fields near the woods in which we have reason to suspect the existence of many colonies of bees. As we approach we see quantities of the little honey-makers flying around among the goldenrod, the plant from which, in most localities throughout the north, they draw their chief supplies during the fall. The time for action has come. We stop to pour a little honey into the feeder, then sneak up to a bee that is hovering on a flower and cautiously clap the box over it. Immediately you close the bottom of the box with your other hand, and the bee, not a little startled, buzzes up against the glass. Soon, however, it smells the honey in the feeder, and, forgetting everything else, settles quietly down to sip. This gives you the opportunity to catch another bee in the same manner, and you soon have four or five prisoners in the box. So far so good. But the crucial moment approaches. We look hurriedly about for an eminence upon which to set the box. There are no stumps convenient, but that little knoll will do. You kneel down on one side of the knoll, with your head close to the box, and the glass slide is withdrawn. Watch closely now what direction the bees take when they come out. If possible, keep the sky for a background, and it will help you to discern their line. One has taken wing. It circles about the box in order to fix the location firmly in its "mind" so that it may find it again without trouble—after working so hard to get a respectable load of nectar from the flowers the honey in the box must seem to it like a little gold mine. It is said that each circle the bee bears more to one side, in the direction of its home; but its oscillations are so eccentric that, with our limited experience, it is almost impossible to follow it. It disappears just as another bee issues from the box, and neither of us is sure of the line, but the failure of our first attempt does not discourage us. Two bees are now circling about the box. We are getting cross-eyed trying to keep track of them. A moment more and another is gone. Again we missed it. Then the third one goes. This time we got the line, but, strange to say, instead of leading to the woods, it passes over a hill to the left. Perhaps the bee-tree stands comparatively alone. If so it will be all the easter to find. Closing the slide over our empty box, we hurry to the hill and eagerly ascend it. And then what a sad surprise! In an orchard behind a farmhouse we see eight or ten hives of an up-to-date apiary, which means that we have been dining domesticated bees. We should have made sure we were a mile or two away from the nearest apiary, bees ordinarily ranging that far from home. However, our only chance is to put a safe distance between us and the apary we have stumbled across. As we force our way through the underbrush and go crunching over dead leaves, I venture the remark that the owner of the apary would not thank us if he knew we had caught some of his bees. There is always danger of bees demoralizing their comrades when they obtain honey as casily as those we caught did. In spite of the reputation they have of always improving the shining hours, bees are like men in the respect that they are prone to wander from the path of honest industry when the possibility presents itself of gaining wealth without rendering a due equivalent. If we had waited where those we caught took wing we should doubtless have seen them return with scores of others. It is not to be supposed that bees can directly communicate to one another anything says the simplest ideas such as joy, sorrow, anger, etc.—which ideas are associated with particular notes produced by the whirring of their wings—but in some mysterious way, possibly by their excited actions, those that got our honey let their comrades in the hive know that something good had been discovered. If the matter ended there it wouldn't be so bad; but the mischief is that, having had a taste of graff, bees, for all the world like humans, are likely to take to out-and-out robery; which is to say that they are likely to go prowling around the apiary until they find a colony that has been weakened by the loss of its queen, its brood-comb, or by some other cause, and then proceed to overpower the sentinels stationed at the entrance, rush in and help themselves to all the stores. Let us hope that our innocent action led to no such fatal consequences. There are bees on the asters on the other side of the woods, and we can take a chance on their being wild ones. We hasten over to the field and trap several more in our box and find a suitable stump to set the box on. This time we manage to line the second bee out, and as the line leads to the woods, our hopes for successful hunt are raised. We determine that the line passes by a tree with a blasted top about half a mile away. It is well to have some object to mark it by. We wait for further developments. Presently one of our little friends we released with a load of honey comes buzzing back. Hear his high-pitched humming? That is precisely the same note robbers make when, having had a taste of graft, they hover before a strange hive preparatory to a raid. Our bee couldn't have been gone more than five minutes. That means its nest is only a short distance away, as it is said that bees, on an average, will take five minutes to fly a mile and spend about two minutes unloading. And our bee has brought others with him, which is more evidence of the nearness of the nest. Felicitating ourselves on our luck, we close the slide of the box and move forward on the line so as to be nearer to the woods. Again we open the box and soon it is fairly alive with bees that have rushed from their nest to get a square of the spoils. This practical demonstration of instinct excites our profound interest, and we cannot choose but marvel at the omnipotence of the Creator who packs so much intelligence in creatures so tiny and delicate. Again we take it squint at a bee as it circles about the box before departing with a load. Having seen it bear for home, we are able to correct our line. We thought it led to the left of the blasted tree, but now we know it leads just to the right. Very good. We take the box and move off thirty or forty rods to one side. This enables us to start the bees on a cross-line; a line, that is, which will meet our original ones at an acute angle. The object, of course, is to fix definitely the situation of the nest, which, as bees invariably take a straight line for home, will be at the vertex. It sounds simple, but we find that to make the calculation to a nicety out in the open War from easy. In fact, after we have started two or three bees on the cross-line we have only a hazy notion as to where the vertex of our angle may be. We advance, however, in the direction of where we think it is. Just before plunging back into the woods, we stop to get another line work. We don't have to trap the bees now; for they are about us in great numbers, and the instant we withdraw the slide of the box they are at the honey. So much has been carried off that another filling of the feeder is necessary. Our latest line shows us we are heading in the right direction. We re-enter the woods and press on. After we have put about half a mile between us and our original stand, we once more expose the honey and make the important discovery that we have passed beyond the beetree; for our little friends are turning back on the line. We mark the spot, and hasten back some forty rods. Again we expose the honey. Good; the bees have resumed their original direction. In other words, we are very near to the bee-tree, as it must be between us and the spot where the bees turned back. The time has come when we can cross-line to great advantage. We leave the box where it is, and about ten or twelve rods to one side'pour some honey on the ground. Thus we have the bees flying into their tree from two directions. We eagerly seek the spot where we calculate that the two lines meet. Arriving there, we find a cluster of trees, and we cannot be sure which one contains the nest. So we make a careful examination of them all, looking especially for hollows, and using our field-glass to sweep the tops. Suddenly we exclaim, "Here they are!" Up near the top of a tall chestnut we can plainly see the bees passing in and out of a cavity in the limb. Our elation is pardonable; for not all hunters find a tree as easily as we did; sometimes they have to keep lining and cross-lining until they actually see the bees flying from the honey into the tree. But, now that we have found the tree, how are we going to get at the nest, fifty feet in the air? It is too fine a chestnut to clop down, and the only thing to do is to climb it. For this we shall need various implements, and, after marking the tree for identification, we return home. A young farmer to whom we confide our discovery is impressed by our statement that the bees seem to be pretty fair Italians, and volunteers to climb the tree, if we will permit him to capture the colony to start an apaity with. As we do not want the bees, nor have much zeal for the climbing job, we gladly close with his offer. Accordingly, on the next afternoon, all three of us start for the beetree, formidably armed with a pair of stell-spurred climbers, an axe, saw and auger, long lengths of rope and clothes-line, a good-sized basket, beevells and a bellows bee-smoker. This last object, borrowed from a neighboring aplary, burns rotted wood to create smoke to puff at bees when they show too enthusiastic a desire to get rid of their stings. Upon our arrival at the tree the young farmer straps the climbers to his legs, ties an end of the clothes-line about his waist and cautiously ascends. When he reaches the limb containing the nest he puts on a vell and hauls up, by means of the clothes-line, the auger and the smoker. Crawling out to the entrance of the nest he takes the precaution to send in a puff or two of smoke. You may kill bees by the score and succeed only in stirring up the survivors to renewed fury, but a little smoke usually makes them as gentle as lambs. Sometimes bee hunters slaughter the entire colony with briststone; but such an unsportmanlike proceeding is not to be tolerated, unless there is good reason for the massacre, such as is presented when the woods are full of Germans and hybrids, and aplarists in the vicinity wish to keep their Italian colonies pure. An aplarist in Tennessee, it may be said in this connection, is now offering a substantial reward for every colony of German or hybrid bees taken "dead or alive" within four miles of his hives. All the honey bees in this country having originally been imported from Europe or Asia, there is no racial difference between the wild ones and the domesticated; those that live in trees are simply the descendants of those that from time to time have taken "French leave" from their owners' hives and reverted to a state of nature. The vast bulk of the wild bees are of the German or black race, while the standard domesticated bee is the Italian; but that, however, is only because the Germans were the first to be introduced here. Just when the Germans came is in doubt, but it was sometime in the seventeenth century; certainly it was not until near the close of the eighteenth century that any bees were found west of the Mississippi. The Indians used to say they could mark the advance of the white man by the appearance of bees in the woods. The Italian bees were first imported in 1860. Better tempered, and more industrious than the Germans, they have become very popular with apiarsists; but as many still keep the German bee, and others have the hybrid formed by the crossing of the two races, while countless Italians now have taken to the woods, there to breed more hybrids, it is clear that bees have a sure way of distinguishing between the wild bee and the domesticated. When honey is the only object of the hunter, the custom is to open the hollow, cut out the combs and lower them in a basket or pair; but if you want the bees-as well, it is advisable to obtain possession of the whole section of the tree containing the nest. Such a thing is not always feasible; but the young farmer has decided that it is in this case. First he bores holes in the limb with the auger, to see how far the hollow extends. Then we send him up the saw and axe. He cuts off the part of the limb extending beyond the hollow. Now he is ready for the rope, which he hauls up at the end of the clothes-line. He ties the rope about the limb, passes the free end of the rope over a limb a little higher up and lets it drop to the ground. There we keep tight hold of the rope until he saws and chops the desired limb free from the tree, and it is lowered gently to the ground. We now have an opportunity to examine our prize. One of the delights of bee hunting is the uncertainty as to whether your work is to be rewarded with a hundred pounds of honey or practically none. It looks as if we should get about fifty pounds. Some of it probably will be the product of previous seasons, and it is all sure to be a mixture produced from the various kinds of flowers; but such is wild honey, and there has been the joy in the finding of it! The young farmer agrees that the bees are nearly pure Italians. He will leave the log where it is until toward dark. By that time all the bees will have found and returned to their nest. The entrance can then be closed with a screen, the log carried home and the bees transferred to a hive. Thus the little creatures will have a better home than they had before, and we shall have the satisfaction of knowing that they were not made to suffer because of our sport.—From the Outing Magazine. By WINIFRED BLACK. Dr. Hindhede, of Denmark, says that he can teach the world and the inhabitants thereof how to live on two cents a day and be happier and healthier and live longer than they did when they spent anywhere from $2 to $25 for twenty-four hours' nourishment. Thanks, awfully, Dr. Hindhede. So delighted to hear from you. Now, if you'll only teach us how to live without breathing and without laughing, without singing and witing dance, without walking and without loving, we'll turn into slugs and be done with it. Wouldn't it be lovely to be a nice, fat, comfy slug, with nothing to do or to think or to dream or to hope or to work for? I'd love it, wouldn't you? Two cents a day for food! Why, what are all the fruits and vegetables and good things made for, Dr. Hindhede—just to look at? I'd rather live ten years and have some fun while I was living than to creep around till I was a hundred and wish I was dead every minute. I don't want to live on two cents a day, thank you; I wouldn't call it living at all. I don't eat simply to support life. I don't eat simply to support life. I suppose I could get along on a cup of malted milk and a handful of nuts a day, but why on earth should I? I don't like malted milk, and the only way to eat nuts is to sit around a blazing wood fire and pick them out of their shells while you're telling stories or singing songs or listening to some one read a good story. I eat because I'm hungry and because things taste good, and I don't want anybody to tell me what to eat, either. I'll pick out my own diet for my own self, thank you, and as long as I'm able to pay for it I'll eat the things that taste good to me, and trust to luck to have them agree with me. Whenever I hear about some one who's discovered a new diet and lived on it, I know what that some one would like before I catch sight of him. All the diet cranks I ever knew proclaim their fad as you can see them by the color of their skin and the lack of lustre in their melancholy eyes. Food was given us to eat, and as long as I have good teeth, a good conscience and a mediumly good pocketbook I'm going to eat it—and be glad to get it. A good dinner is one of the pleasures of life, just as a good laugh is, or a good song, or a pretty story, or a brisk walk on a fine morning. And I'm not going to give up a good dinner just to please some one who wants to convince me that I'd be better off if I dined on a slice of dried apple and a prune. Keep right on figuring, Dr. Hindede. It's all very well to be scientific, and we appreciate your efforts immensely. You can't do any harm, because nobody will pay any attention to you but the diet cranks, anyway—and they might as well be following you as any one else.—New York American. Whalebonc. The economic value of whalebone is due to its combined qualities of lightness, elasticity or springiness and flexibility even when split into thin strips. It has also the property of permanently retaining any shape that may be given to it when it is heated and then cooled under compression. Although many substitutes have been introduced, such as steel, cattle horn and turkey quills, nothing has yet been found that competes with it in a combination of all the qualities above noted. It is therefore unrivaled as material for use in whips, corsets, for dress stays and similar purposes. The cutting of whalebone, that is, changing the rough slabs into the forms and sizes suitable to the different uses, is carried on principally in New York City and Boston. There are four factories in New York City and one in Boston. The number of workmen employed is small, rarely exceeding forty, all told.—Bureau of Fisheries Document. Let me give you a suggestion for exercise. Rise at 6.30 a. m. Put on old clothing, easy shoes and a sweater. Time for dressing, five minutes. Walk one-fourth of a mile; time, five minutes. Then run a mile at a dog trot in eight minutes, arranging your circuit of a mile and a quarter so that you will finish at your door three minutes after starting. At that hour you will meet only the milkman and paper carriers. That exercise will expand your lungs and stimulate your heart action and land you at your doorstep at 6.48 a. m., panting for breath, thoroughly exhausted and perspiring at every pore. You are then ready for your bath and routine of the day. The man of sedentary habits who patiently pursues this exercise may kiss all drugs good-bye.—New York Bichés Cause Trouble. Great riches are ever accompanied by great anxieties, and an increase of our possessions is but an inlet to new disquietudes.—Goldsmith.

Timely Fashion Hints 5. New York City. - Such a round neck bobble as this one is very generally becoming and is so frequently in demand that it becomes one of the 2 real essentials of the wardrobe. Custom demands a decollete neck not alone for, dances and the opera but also for formal dinners and occasions of the sort. This one is exponent- THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY ally pretty and becoming in shape, while it is adapted to every material that is used for evening and indoor gowns. In the illustration crepe de chine is trimmed with taffeta that is embroidered by hand, while the sleeves are made of frills of Valenciennes lace, so giving a gulpe effect, but there are a great many variations that can be suggested for the evening, blouses, while the waist can be made with a yoke and so-become suited to daytime wear. If liked the sleeves can be of the material and simply full or they can be of chiffon if something thinner is desired. The kimono effect is a particularly desirable one, as it is of the later modified sort, which is very generally becoming. The waist is made over a fitted lining and with full fronts and backs, which are finished by the shaped trimming portion. The sleeves are moderately full and are finished with bands just below the elbows. If frills are desired they are sewed to the foundation in overlapping rows while the Mandarin sleeves are arranged over the armhole seams. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four yards twenty-one, three and a quarter yards twenty-seven or one and seven-eighth yards forty-four inches wide with seven-eighth yard of silk for the trimming-hands and sixteen yards of lace two inches wide for the frills to make as illustrated, one-half yard of all-over lace for the yoke when high neck is used. The tiny turban is now very fashionable. Fancy blouse wast. The waist that gives the long or somewhat drooping shoulder effect, is one of the latest favorites of fashion, and is to be noted in a variety of forms. Here is one that is arranged to form a V at back and front, which is very generally becoming, and that can be utilized for almost every seasonable material. In the illustration crepe de chine is trimmed with heavy lace, but not alone are the silk and wool materials appropriate, linens also are made after such fashion for the late summer, and the design is one that can be relied upon to be used throughout the coming as well as the present season. The waist is closed invisibly at the left of the front, which in itself commends it to many women and it is altogether attractive and graceful. The waist is made with the fitted lining that is closed at the front and itself consists of front and back, of side-fronts and side-backs. These latter are laid in tucks and trimmed with banding, while the front and back are faced to give the chemisette effect. The sleeves are of moderate size and are gathered into-fitted cuffs. The waist is closed beneath the tuck at the edge of the left side-front. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and five-eighth yards twenty-one. four yards 15. twenty-seven or two and a quarter yards forty-four inches wide with one half yard all-over lace and five yards of banding. or banqu The new shoe for golf is of beaten skin, strapped with heavy stitches and lined with soft kid.

In Memerlam. Who departed this life Dec. 17, 1900 It was in December distinctly I remember, when God called our loving one to His fender care and how sweetly she did obey his call. Not a murmur, only said "Lord, I am waiting to obey." Oh how we were pained to have our loved one taken from us. Though she suffered her affliction with patience knowing she had that blessed assurance with God we will weep no more, but trust to meet thee in that bright and beautiful land, where you will be singing around the throne of God, waiting to welcome us there.

SAM MILLER Proof Around The Christmas Bomb NOTHING makes a prettier addition to children's Christmas party than a hollie bomb, and it can be fashioned by the mother of the little hosts with very little trouble or expense. The bomb, which is really a huge tissue paper ball trimmed with holly, must have a light framework of fine wire. Inside this framework are the presents—one for each child—wrapped in tissue paper and tied with ribbon. Holly ribbon (that is, a cream ground, strewn with holly) is very pretty for this purpose, but brightred ribbon is quite as effective. Draw the long end of the ribbon through an opening in the wire frame and arrange the packages so that a hard jerk from the little fingers will bring them down. Next cover your wire with green tissue paper, crumpled, to give the appearance of flower petals and then twine holly about the bomb and susit from the chandelier. Each child is given an end of ribbon, and then thence round, slamming to the tune of the old carol, "The first great joy that Mary had—" All around the Christmas bomb, It is the joy of all; For when we pull the ribbons A shower of gifts will fall. Dear mother, give the signal, And let the presents come. For we are happy children Around the Christmas bomb. PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL NO MORE. LITTLE JACOB'S CHRISTMAS A Story Written by Rose Terry Cooke- sick. "The boy shall go," answered David, "but he must sleep now, for there is no sleep for him there. The wolves have come down from Lebanon, and we keep open eyes and strict watch to-night; but let him be ready at sunset. Is my scrip filled, Rachel?" "It is filled, and the water-gourd is ready." So David left the little but outside of Bethlehem and went to his sheep in the field; and when the sun came hotly down at noon Jacob curled up on a mat in the corner and slept long and sweetly, for he longed to be out at night among the sleeping sheep and the watching shepherds, and he hid his own little siling and store of smooth pebbles inside the breast of his coat, hoping to slay a wolf himself. Then the night came softly over Judea; the gentle winds hushed their whispering; the distant ripple of Kedron sung a sleek song, and on the wide, brown waste of the plain the nocks lay like heaps of fallen clouds, gray in the dim light, and noiseless except when some tiny lamps bleated for the mother if could not and with its half-opened eyes. Jacob clung tightly to David's hand; the silence "FATHER, may I go out with you to-night on the plain?" Little Jacob pulled at his father's outer garment and looked wistfully up at him with great soft eyes like his mother's. Rachel, too, looked up from the walling baby in her arms. "May he not go, David? You have promised him to go for some time, and the child here is it will be quieter As the last line is being sung the mother raises her hand, each child gives his ribbon a big tug and a shower of presents falls upon the heads of the small bombexploders. Every mother likes to have her children daintily and suitably dressed for the Christmas party. For little girls nothing can be prettier than a long-waisted frock made of the sheerest lawn or dimity and tucked in tiny tucks. A deep fluffy flounce by way of a skirt makes the little one look fairylike. Big berthas give a charming addition to these little dresses. Soft woolen materials are being used for boys' blouses. An attractive Russian blouse suit is made of cream colored challis and has collar, cuffs and belt of pale blue. and the darkness awed him; the plain seemed to meet the sky; he could see only a broken line on that clear dark horizon where the roofs of Bethlehem, low and flat, crowned the hill-top; his hand grew chilly in his father's, and David saw the boy was afraid. He spoke to the other shepherds, who sat or stood among the flocks: "Let us sing the folding Psalm, brethren, for the child is strange to the night, and remembereth not the Shepherd of Israel is with us." So two of the men began, in rich, low voices, to chant: The Lord is my shepherd; And then the rest answered: I shall not want. And the first two sang again: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; And another response came: He leadeth me beside the still waters. So they went on through the beautiful Psalm, and Jacob listened and ```markdown ``` felt sure that God was there in the night. When the Psalm was over, he sat down on the plain beside his father, or walked about the sleeping sheep, and held his sling ready to strike a wcf in the forehead. But no Merry Christmas wolves came; the night was still and soft, the dark blue sky was all alight with splendid stars, shining and glittering as they wheeled slowly across the sky—so slowly that little Jacob could not see them move. He did not speak much, for the stillness was like a finger on his lips, but he watched the heavens with wondering eyes, and when his father looked down at him and smiled Jacob heard him say softly: The heavens declare the glory of God, And the firmament showeth His handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge. Then Jacob began to wonder how the days spoke; if it was with noisy winds, Or birds singing, or the sound of waters far off; and then he fell into a kind of dream, leaning against his father's knee, for it was almost midnight, and David had sat down to rest. But suddenly, in one breathless moment, both Daydid and Jacob sprang to their feet, and all the other shepherds crowded up to them with pale faces, and open eyes, and trembling knees; for in an instant, without sound or sign, the wide heavens were flooded with light and glory, brighter than the sun at noon; the stars were drowned in light, the radiance flowed in waves of splendor from mid-heaven down to earth. And then, in the deepest depths of glory far above their heads in the heart of all the shining, appeared a great angel, with robens of whiteness brighter than the gathered light, and a face calm with awful gladness; and the shepherds were sore afraid, for they thought the Day. of the Lord was come. But the angel smiled upon them, like the sun shining in his strength, and spoke like the voice of the shepherd for might, yet sweeter than the turtle-doves amid the cedars of Lebanon, and he said unto them: "Fear not! For behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord! And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, lying in a man-ger." Little Jacob heard these words, but he knew them not, except the name of Messiah, for whom he often heard his mother pray in the evening time, but now, while the glad tidings sounded still, behold! from the bright depths of Heaven came angel after angel, countless as the hidden stars, and radiant as light itself; their stainless ranks rayed outward from the vast, calm shape of the Herald Angel like means from the morning sun, and with a great sound like the flowing of some mighty stream, they sung the song of Heaven: Glory to God in the highest! And on earth peace; Good will toward men. The wondrous sound thrilled all the high and glowing Heaven, and then, still with strains of glory and peace ringing above and falling fainter and fainter to those below, rank folded in on rank, the Angel of the Lord leading upward, and the awful splendor gathering up about them, they soared into that glory, and the glory shrouded their departing cohorts, and the dark midnight sky, feebly starred now to the shepherds' smitten eyes, bent its purple arch again above unconscious earth. David stooped and lifted Jacob in his arms; neither of them could speak, but old Simeon, the oldest of all the Bethlehem shepherds, bent low, and, with uncovered head, began the chant: O, come let us sing unto the Lord! Let us make a joyful noise unto the Rock of Babylon! of our salvation: With low voices they sang the Psalm through, as they turned from the plain toward Betlehem, forgetful of their flocks and herds, caring for nothing but to find the Messiah, the baby in the manger, the Son of God. And there, indeed, in a rude cavern, where the beasts of burden were sheltered and their poor masters fed by the way—there, upon a shaken wisp of straw, a very babe in the flesh, lay the infant Christ, with His awed and adoring mother kneeling beside Him, and Joseph the carpenter standing with folded hands, amazed but faithful, beside the new-born King of Israel. And while the shepherds told their wondrous tale, and that they were in the inn heard it, and adored, Mary shut up all these things in her heart, and little Jacob gazed on the calm, sad face of the Mighty Child, and went away with a vision in his soul that never left it while life remained. "And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them." This was little Jacob's Christmas. Christmas in the Klondike.

Apparatus of Levers and Tubes Arranged in Interior of Heel. It is well known that the foot, when incased in shoes, does not receive proper ventilation—in fact, does not receive any. This is particularly so in regard to the heel and ```markdown ``` the sole, as a small portion of air does manage to enter the upper part of the shoe and ventilate the ankle. It has been said that the foot should receive as much ventilation as the hands and equally as much care and attention. It would be impossible to ventilate the foot except with such apparatus as that shown here, the invention of an Argentine man, and recently patented in the United States. In this apparatus for the interior ventilation of the foot there is a combination of an air suction and compressing device arranged inside the heel. A system of levers tends to increase the mechanical effort of the natural action of the foot in walking. Inside the shoe are also tubes for the circulation of air—Washington Star. Grape Pomace For Cattle. A consular report states that the refuse of wine presses, the pomace, is being fed to cattle by French farmers. After the wine is pressed out, the pomace is generally used to make a kind of brandy called "eau de vie de marc," and then the residue is used as fodder for stock or as a fertilizer. A French farmer experimenting with this pomace has found a means of converting it into an excellent fodder for milch cows. He makes a compound consisting of parts of sugar and parts of pomace, forming a substance that the cows eat with great relish and which can be preserved three months. He says that after he had fed this mixture to his cows three days they gave twenty per cent. more milk than before, and that the milk was of a much better quality. The past summer has been very dry, and farmers believe the grape food will greatly aid them. A company has been organized at Clermont, Eerrand, with capital of $30,000, to build a factory to convert WAS IT FAIR—TO FORTY? ```markdown ``` C AIIAN WAYS. —From The Motor Car. grape pomace into sow feed, in the form of oil cakes, using chopped hay or straw and molasses.—Country Gentleman. Human Camels. So conveniently is the 'hump placed on the back of the camel for the disposition of the pack saddles that this has not unnaturally seemed a special design for the benefit of the nomadic Arab. It does not therefore seem to have struck people generally that this is the actual result of the use to which since, at any rate, 2000 B. C. the camel has been put by his Asiatic masters. The certainty of this is already apparent from the fact, familiar to anyone who has traveled in the interior of Algeria, that the thoroughbred meharl, or saddle camel, which carries no burden heavier than a slim Arab dispatch bearer, is losing its hump. But the matter is put beyond all doubt by the intelligent researches of Professor Lombrosso, the eminent Italian anthropologist, who identified similar callosities—miniature humps, in fact—upon the neck and shoulders of Hottentot and Malagasy porters, employed by their fellow-men in work more appropriate to the hardier camel—London Standard. Improved Cleaver. With the aid of an implement invented by a New Jersey man it now becomes possible for the butcher to chop the meat and at the same time add to its tenderness by pounding with a combined cleaver and meat tenderer. The cleaver, as shown in the illustration below, is similar to D those commonly used. On the corner, opposite to the blade, a series of teeth are arranged at an angle. These teeth are used in tendering the meat. The advantage of placing the teeth at an angle will be obvious. If they were placed parallel with the upper edge of the cleaver it would be impossible to manipulate the tenderer with out knocking the hand on the table. By placing the teeth at an angle the handle is removed from the table when either the blade or teeth are being used, preventing injury to the hand.—Washington Star. ```markdown ``` A SERMON BY THE REV TRAW HENDERS Theme: A Nation's Warning. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfield street, on the above theme, the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Daniel 5:5: "In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote." He said: This is a weird story. The incident is gruesome. The circumstances give pause for thought. The picture is terrific. Belshazzar, the wicked king, in the midst of revelry aid vice, surrounded by his retinue and the parasites of a degraded court, flaunting his villainy in the very face of the living God, finds that God is not mocked, much less is He dead. The animated hand points the tight end of a long rope. It emphasizes a clear warning of Jehovah. And it terrifies the king. Belshazzar had cause to fear. It is no wonder that his knees knocked and that his limbs shook, that he had a fit, so as to say, of the ague. Well he might. For Nebuchadnezzar the king, his father before him, had had an exhibition of the power and the presence of God within the world. He had harbored wickedness in his heart and within his dominions and God had humbled him. Belshazzar therefore might have learned from anecentral experience what would be likely to be the sure result of his many and perverse sins. Simple reasoning might have led him to refrain to try the patience of Jehovah to his own undoing. But he would not be taught. He would not even be warned. And the same night Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans wag slain. This weird tale is as useful as it is gruesome and as illustrative as it is terrific. It is admonitory. It should be exemplary. It certainly affords food for sober and continued thought. It epitomizes a lesson that so many men and nations in the past have failed or refused to grasp. The lesson that man cannot fool with honor of morality and with the principles enunciated by Almighty God and be safe or live for long. How often it has happened in history that men and nations have waited until the noose has tightened. How many have faunted their wilfulness in the face of Jehovah with a seeming calm superiority to the inevitable. How many have refused to heed even after the hand has, as it were, written over against the wall of their own lives. Louis presumed to defy God and man and to exalt his whims above the right. And his fatnessous prepared the way for freedom's France. George the Third moved to thwart plans of Providence in the new world of political philosophy of George the Third because of the ascendancy of George Washington's America tried to demonstrate the holiness of an unholly slavery and to compromise principle. But God wrote large upon the page of our national history His ulmatum concerning the rights of man with the red blood of the flower of our manhood. The lesson of Belshazzar is apropos. It is pertinent. And it is nowhere more needed than within the confines of most Christian and civilized America. To mention no others, it is of practical value in our commercial and governmental and ecclesiastical affairs. For commerce has been made the creature of the whims and fancies of unscrupulous financiers. The Government has been, and is now being, made the opportunity for thieves and malefactors of every conceivable political stripe. The church has been dormant. In many quarters she has been, so it would seem, dead. We have been remiss in much. We have been fast and loose in more. We have defied wealth and permitted godliness to strut with little let or hindrance upon the king's highway. God knows we have been warned. Let us trust that we shall heed the hand. Let us not emulate Belshazzar. No man may deny that we have drifted fast toward the rocks of national dishonor and disgrace in our commercial affairs. The financial and commercial situation is a disgrace to a free people, not to say of a Christian nation. And bad as is the story that comes directly to our cars it is not half of what may be told and but an adumbration of the catastrophe that will follow as surely as that God lives if we do not mend our ways. The spectacle of a panic in the midst of the most legitimate prosperity that the world has ever known is in itself a far greater condemnation of our methods and our career than any sermon. Words cannot picture the sinfulness of the situation so well as can the fact with which we are face to face. Any sane man can perceive the outcome. None but a fool or a knave would deny the sin. Shall we shut our eyes to the writing hand? Fast as we have drifted toward commercial and financial disaster we have none the less swiftly progreed in many quarters, and even now are moving, toward political degeneracy. The administration of our cities is a by-word and a joke among the nations of the world. As we contemni- nate ourselves we seem almost to take delight say, they are as badly managed as they are tainly many of us openly despair of reformation and pronounce popular self-government upon that point to be and utter and a shamful failure. The efforts of those who sit behind the scenes and pull the wires in our national affairs are to accomplish the discrediting and overthrow of any man or measure that is squared to the unfinishing application of the the or righteousness regardless of the consequences or the cost. We may well thank God that here and there, especially in the South and West, the citizenship of America is so keen to hear the breaking waves and to steer the ship of our national existence of Impending shores. For we must, change, our, course; or we will nerish as the grass. Similarly the church has been remiss. The prevalent and profound antagonism toward and distrust of the church upon the part of too large a proportion of the working men and careful thinkers of this land is a warning that we would do well to heed. We have exchanged leadership for applause and conviction for ease. We have become, fadby. Multitudes of men regard us as the protectors and special pleaders, for a consideration, of the privileged classes. We are regarded as too prominently the preservers of the status quo, the brake upon a healthy progress. And it is not strange. For the church has not, nation wide, locked arms with a great moral reform openly and aggressively in forty years. We have spent our fighting strength upon heresy trials and game that is not worth our energy. In New York it would seem, judging by the that, the sure way to defeat a candidate is to secure for the open and avowed support of the ministry of the church. We have attacked individuals when down and organizations that it cost nothing to assail. We have objected to salpons within 150 feet of the churches and been silent while they squatted thick and greedily in the midst of the haunts of poverty. We have neglected the social evil and the men in the pews and membership of our own organs and the owners of our wives and houses of ill fame. We have assaulted the moral character of the saloonkeeper and consigned him and his business to eternal torment, while we have ever maintained by our suffrage our criminal silent partnership in his trade. The meanwhile praying God to drive him from our midst. And even in this day with the inspiring and glorious example of the Southland right before us we may find ministers in the city of New York who will excuse the saloon, and a church that is afraid to grapple with the enemy in a struggle to the death. We have been fooled so long politically that most of the politicians regard the church element as a sort of a cheerful political joke. All of this is the handwriting on the wall. It is the warning of the times. In no unreal sense it is the truth. In no unreal sense it bete me if we, if we, to he warned. Not otherwise is it in individual life. What a careless host there is of men who disregard the clear admonitions of Jehovah and who spend their lives in riotous living, who violate every statute upon the moral code, who permit in their public lives sins they would revolt to have exist in their private affairs, who live privately as they neither have the courage nor the desire to live openly, who sell their minds and souls as they do their votes for a consideration, who think that they may sow as they please and reap what they like, who deny the sovereignty of God and stifle the consciousness of their judgment from the wells of their lives the hand writes daily. To their care continually coffes the warning call of God. Into the silly recesses of their souls the still, small voice speaks. But, like Shalbazhar they are heedless. They mock the God who cannot be mocked. It is good that God warns. It is well that we should hear and profit and reform. For if we do not, individually as nationally, we shall be overwhelmed. It could not be other-ethnic. It could not be other-religious. It is for us to watch out lest it be said of us that in the day of warning we were slain. Ye Are Saved Through Faith. To confess, to weep, to pray, to resolve—all these are of no avail unless we believe. It is by believing that we have "peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." It is by believing the "exceeding great and precious promises" that they are realized in our experiences. In order to receive any benefit from the work of Jesus we must believe that He is "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think." To the blind men they sought His help, Jesus told, "Belle! That I able to do this? They said unto Him, Yea, Lord. Then touched He their eyes, saying, According to your faith he it unto you. And their eyes were opened." To the ruler of the synagogue Jesus said, "Fear not; believe only." We must remember, however, that "a nominal faith in Christ, which accepts Him merely as the Saviour of the world, can never bring healing to the soul. The faith which is unto salvation is not a more intellectual assent to the truth. He who waits for entire knowledge before he will exercise faith, cannot receive blessing from God. It is not enough to believe about Christ; we must believe in Him. The only faith that will benefit us is that which embraces Him as a personal Saviour, which appropriates His merits to ourselves. Many hold faith as an opinion; saving faith is a transaction, by which those who receive Christ join themselves in covenant relation with God. Genuine faith is life."

Much, controversy has taken place on the question of sense of hearing in fish, and many experiments have been tried with a view of settling it. Some of the latest of these are those of which M. Marage has given an account in the Paris Comtes Rendus. The fish experimented with were carp, tench, pike, eel and others, and the author finds no evidence of a sense of hearing. Sounds were transmitted into the water close to the fish with an energy capable of affecting deaf mutes. No effect was produced on the fish. Dangerous Sense of Humor. DANGEROUS GENESE OF HONOR George G. Morton, a machinest residing on Russell street, has many sore ribs, and all because he laughed too heartily. He was thoroughly enjoyable, a joke played on a comrades with garden hose, and as he watched the sport from a window he laughed with great gusto, so much so that he was seized with pains and had to be helped to a seat. A medical man was called and found that he had fractured a rib and had torn away part of the lining about another rib.—Bermuda Royal Gazette.

Physicians Called It Eczema in Worst Form—Patient Despaired of Cure —Cuticura Remedies Cure Her. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splottles all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of ——. After a thorough examination of the dreaded-complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became dependent and decided to discontinue their services. Then my husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lixzie E.
