FIGHT TYPHOID FLY War to Be Waged on Disease Bearing Household Pest. PHOID FEVER PREVENTABLE 379 Victims Claimed By Typhoid Fever Each Year in the United States----Moving Pictures to Be Used in Fight. Washington, D. C. The recent impressive demonstration in Washington of this work done by the typhoid virus, which showed on a screen the little household pest as we appear under the microscope looking as big as a cow and revealing with unpleasant realism the way he assails human health, will be repeated in the moving plutoor shows in various cities of the country, and is expected to cause new interest in the subject of exterminating fires—and typhoid. When it is recalled that typhoid claims 35,379 victims in the United States every year, that it holds fourth place in the mortality list, and is so common that Surgeon General Wyman terms it a "national disgrace," it should seem that zeal in combating it would not be allowed to wane. The physicians connected with the national public health and marine hospital service see reason for regret in the faculty with which the public attention is turned to a new disease; to the neglect of precautions against old ones. For instance, pellagra, a comparatively recent discovery in this country, is attracting such wide-spread popular interest that, it is claimed, typhoid, except in occasional instances, attracts little attention. Yet typhoid annually causes fifty times as many deaths in the United States as pellagra. when the people understand that tyranny fever is, as easily preventable, are railroad accidents, we shall have a casus belli and the courage needed for a victorious campaign," said Dr. Rosshau, head of the department of preventive medicine, and hydrene at Harvard University. Local health officers and the national government are alike indifferent in this matter, he thinks, and cites instances to snow that more attention is paid to exterminating the bitterness of mouth, disease among cattle than to extending aid to fight this enemy of human health. The United States has a typhoid cover record that compares most unfavorably with that of the European countries; though their climate is as favorable, to the spread of the disease. In a recent public health report, the statement is made that the familiarity of the public with typhoid fever has raised an unfortunate tendency on part, of the people generally to accept the recurrence every year of a certain amount of typhoid fever as inevitable. It is now generally admitted that typhoid fever is both contagious, or directly transmissible from the slick to the healthy, and infectious, or indirectly transmissible from the slick to the healthy. To prevent the indirect transmission, health officers are warned to particularly safeguard the water supply, milk supply and general food supply.

Atlanta, Ga—In declining to introduce Commander Peary, when he lectured here, Governor Brown stated that he does not believe Peary's claims to having discovered the pole are true, and in discussing the alleged discovery of the North Pole, the governor took a stiff fall out of Commander Peary's assertion that he planned the flag on the identical spot where the long-sought northernmost end of the earth's axle is supposed to do business. "Peary the discoverer of the North Pole" Show me," says the governor. "Cook told the same story that Peary is telling now—identically the same story, yet Peary branded Cook as a faker as soon as the former got back to civilization, and now he asks us to believe the same story that he asked us not to believe when Cook held the public ear." Governor Brown's discussion of Peary's claim came about after he had been requested to introduce the Arctic explorer. The governor respectfully declined the invitation on the ground that he does not consider Peary's claims trustworthy. Mayor Maddox of Atlanta was also requested to introduce Commander Peary, but he also declined on the ground that Peary came to Atlanta as a private citizen to deliver a paid address, and that he is not a guest of the city. F. L. Seeley, publisher of the Atlanta Georgian, finally introduced the explorer. Washington, D. C.-Tie proposal to have congress reward Commander Peary for his discovery of the North Pole met with another setback in the house committee on naval affairs. Representative Englebright of California, his principal advocate in the committee, moved to discharge the subcommittee which has been considering the Peary award bills and to consider them in full committee. The motion was defeated by a vote of 17 to 1. Mr. Englebright along supporting his motion. Another motion to direct the subproviding for honoring Mr. Peary was adopted by a unanimous vote, as a majority of the committee is strongly opposed to voting a reward to Commander Peary; however, unless his proofs are made public. CATTLE QUARANTINE RULES. Government Issues New Regulations for Moving Cattle. Washington, D. C.—The department of agriculture will soon issue new regulations governing the movement of battle from the area under quarantine on account of Texas or tick fever. These regulations will become effective about April 1, and will permit the movement of cattle from the quarantined area provided they are properly dipped under government supervision. The new regulations differ from those hitherto in effect in that they provide for the employment of an arsenical dipping fluid as well as for crude petroleum, which has heretofore been used for the destruction of the ticks that transmit the disease. Experiments by the bureau of animal industry in dipping cattle in an arsenical solution indicate that this method of treatment is sufficiently effective to be permitted for cattle intended for interstate movement for purposes other than immediate slaughter. The vats in which such dipping is done under supervision must be approved by the department. Copies of the new quarantine regulations, when issued, may be obtained on application to the bureau. The territory under quarantine for Texas fever embraces the whole states of Louisiana, Alabama and Florida, and parts of California, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. The area under quarantine has been reduced by more than 50,000 square miles within the last three years as a result of the campaign being waged by the federal and state authorities for the extermination of the ticks, and as this work progresses the quarantine will be removed from additional territory. FOREIGNERS IN SOUTH. Negroes Have No Respect for European Immigrants. Washington, D. C.-The house committee on immigration held its last hearing on the bills providing for an increase on the head tax and on additional test for immigrants. Both propositions have met with much opposition. Representative Burnett, democrat, of Alabama, told the committee that unless the tide of immigration from southern Europe to the southern states should be checked the south would have a new race issue on its hands. He declared that the negro had no respect for the Italian and that the presence of the two races in the south complicated the 'situation, and made it even more difficult to deal with than it is at present. L. & N. INCREASES WAGES: Conductors and Railway Officials Reach flan Agreement. Louisville, 'Ky. — An agreement reached between a committee from the Louisville and Nashville branch of the Order of Railroad Conductors and the company for the next two years, secures to these trainmen a substantial increase in wages. The wage scale affects the entire Louisville and Nashville system and provides for a material increase over the present wages for all-conductors on the system except a few, who are already drawing high monthly remunerations. The short-run passenger men and the local freight get 8,10 and 14 per cent increase. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1910. CENSUS PROCLAMATION President Taft Issues an Address to the People. TO ASSIST ENUMERATORS Taft Urges Everybody to Answer-Promptly, Completely and Accurately All Inquiries Made By the Census Takers. Washington, D. C—President Taft in a proclamation issued urges everybody throughout the United States "to answer promptly, completely and accurately all inquiries addressed to them by the enumerators or other employees," who will be engaged in the taking of the thirteenth decennial census. The proclamation follows: "Whereas, by the act of congress approved July 2, 1909, the thirteenth decennial census of the United States is to be taken, beginning on April 15, 1910; and, "Whereas, a correct enumeration of the population every 10 years is required by the constitution of the United States for the purpose of determining the representation of the several states in the house of representatives; and, "Whereas, it is of the utmost importance to tue interests of all the people of the United States that this census should be a complete and accurate report of the population and resources of the country; "Now, therefore, I, William Howard Taft, president of the United States of America, do hereby declare and make known that, under the act aforesaid, it is the duty of every person to answer all questions on the census schedule applying to him and the family to which he belongs, and to the farm occupied by him or his family, and that any adult refusing to do so is subject to penalty. "The sole purpose of the census is to secure general statistical information regarding the population and resources of the country, and replies are required from individuals only in order to permit the compilation of such general statistics. The census has nothing to do with taxation, with army or jury service, with the compulsion of school attendance, with the regulation of immigration, or with the enforcement of any national, state or local law or ordinance, nor can an apperson be harmed in any way by furnishing the information required. There need be no fear that any disclosure will be made regarding any individual person of the rights and interests of the persons furnishing information, every employee of the census bureau is prohibited, under heavy penalty, from disclosing any information which may thus come to his knowledge. "I therefore, earnestly urge upon all persons to answer promptly, completely and accurately, all inquiries addressed to them by the enunciators or other employees of the cen sus bureau, and thereby to contribute their share toward making this great and necessary public undertaking a success. "In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "P. C. KNQX, Secretary of State." The proclamation is for the purpose of removing fears from thumbnails of some people who are of ti opulon that information which the give concerning themselves to ti census taker may be used in sonway to the detriment of their personal or business interests. Against any such abuse, however, the government has thrown the strongest safeguards PAPER MONEY FILTHY. Germs—92,000,000 of Them—Found on One-Dollar Bill. Washington, D. C.—Germs, 92,000,000 of them, of manifold variety, were found on a one-dollar bill microscopically examined at the request of Representative Wiley of New Jersey, according to his statement before the house committee on banking and currency, in support of his bill to provide clean currency by burning all paper money returned to the treasury. Among the many disease germs found were smallpox, scarlet fever typhoid, tuberculosis and diphtheria. No germs were found on metal money. The dollar bill of constant circulation have the most bacteria about them and it was found that the larger the denomination of the bill the fewer germs it contained. Senator Percy Sworn In. Washington, D. C—Leroy Percy, senator-elect from Mississippi, made his first appearance in the senate, and the oath of office was administered by Senator Kean, who occupied the chair. Mr. Percy was presented by his colleague, Senator Money, and was cordially greeted by the senators. Taft Asks Editorial Support Taft Asks Editorial Support. Washington, D. C.-President, Taft sent to the convention of republican editors at Springfield, Ill., a telegraph in which he expressed the hope that the editorial association would stand by the republican congress and the administration in the latter's attitude toward the tariff and other legislation. RAILROAD STRIKE HALTED. Chicago, Ill.—Danger of an immediate strike of 2,7000 locomotive firemen on western railroads and the contingent throwing out of employment of more than 125,000 other employees was averted through the acceptance of mediation from the federal authorities at Washington. At the request of the general managers of the forty-seven western railroads involved, Chairman Martin A. Knapp of the interstate commerce commission, and Commissionister of Labor C. P. Neill telegraphed an offer of federal mediation to the union officers. This offer was accepted, W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, stipulating that action must begin without delay. Washington, D. C.—Efforts to set the two important labor controversies aro- to be made by officials of the government. In the trouble between the railways operating west of Chicago and their firemen and engineer, Chairman Khapp of the interstate commerce commission, and Dr. Charles P. Nell, commissioner of labor, have accepted the request of both sides to act as mediators. The other labor difficulty in which the government proposes to intervene is the Bethlehem Steel Company strike, where 5,000 men have been out for the past four weeks. The investigation was prompted partly by the fact that the government has large steel contracts with the Bethlehem Steel Company, and it has been claimed that the strike has resulted in delay in government work. In a statement issued recently the amount of the government work on hand in South Bethlehem was given as $40,000,000. Philadelphia, Pa.—Another meeting was held between George H. Earle, one of the city's representatives on the board of directors of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, and a committee of labor leaders in an endeavor to find some basis upon which the street car men's strike might be settled. OLIVER BUYS RAILROAD. $250,000 Paid for the Savannah, Augusta and Northern Property. Statesboro, Ga.-In the presence of a few local and visiting spectators, the Savannah, Augusta and Northern railway was sold under the block by Master Tailow of Macon. The purchaser was W. J. Oliver of Knoxville, Tenn, the contractor who built the road, and who claimed a debt against it for $60,000. The purchase price was $550,000 and the only bid made. Oliver deposited the required certified check for $20,000 upon his arrival here, and was the only one to make a bid for the property. He was seen at the hotel and stated that he intended to further the project. "It will not stop at Garfield," he said emphatically, "and I do not care to say much at this time, but you can say that is my only comment." Several liens were filed against the road after the sale—one by the Carnegie Steel Company, who furnished the rail, and who claim it was never paid for and claiming a retain title. Washington, D. C—Senator Tillman, with his wife and two daughters, left for his home in Trenton, S. C The senator, who, a few weeks ago, was at death's door, and rallied by his wonderful vitality, is well enough to walk and his physician declared there was no danger in his travelling. If it is not possible for the senator to return in time for the close of this session of congress, it is probable he will go abroad for a rest after he has recovered further. Lives Without Jugular Vein. New York City—With only a small portion of his jigular vein left, after a recent operation, Harold Erickson, a 19-year-old boy, is apparently recovering at the Long Island College Hospital, and surgeons intend to remove the remainder of the vein in a few days. An operation a few weeks ago for acute earache disclosed a blood clot, which spread and necessitated the operation. Church Union Pronounced Legal. Birmingham, Ala. — Judge H. A. Sharpe of the city court handed down a final decree, holding that the union of the Cumberland Church with the Presbyterian Church, United States of America, was legal. The suit was filed by the faction known as the loyalists. Properties in Birmingham, valued at several hundred thousand dollars, are involved. Newsv Paragraphs. Eastern Arkansas, the dairy section of that state, that has in the past supplied many cities with milk, is now unable to fill the orders except for about 70 per cent of the supply called for. The reason is because the price of beef has soared to where the dairymen have found it profitable to sell their milch cattle for beef, it is explained. The Knickerbocker Trust company, which closed its doors during the panic of 1907, has redeemed the last of its $23,000,000 time certificates or deposits. The capital now stands rehabilitated and every depositor, with claims totalling $35,701,116 will be paid in full. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York city has sent a notice to an department stores and to bird and animal dealers that the act of keeping or selling newly hatched incubator cickens intended as Easter traps or presents, is in violation of the laws relating to cruelty to animals. The society intends to put a stop to the trade, and will take the necessary steps to prevent it. METHODS OF FIGHTING PEST Best Plan to Fight Weevil is Said To Be To Raise All The Corn Possible in All of the Southern States. Columbus, Miss.—R. S. Wilson, state agent for Mississippi, representing the United States department of agriculture, headquarters in this city, gives some timely pointers about cotton, corn, the coming of the boll weevil, how to prepare for the weevil, and other farm subjects. He says: "It is no longer a question with thinking people but a fact that sooner or later we must deal with the boll weevil in every part of the cotton belt. "It it was hoped by many that climatic conditions in north Mississippi and north Alabama were such that the weevil could not thrive. This hope has been blasted as the weevil has already invaded Oklahoma and Arkansas and wrought considerable damage further north than any part of Mississippi. According to a map issued by the United States department of agriculture, January 1, 1910, based on carefully gathered facts, if a line we drew due east from the northern limit of infestation in Oklahoma it would almost bisect the state of Tennessee. "We must now turn our attention to the best method of meeting the problem and minimizing the calamity. "Under normal conditions we need not expect any material damage from the weevil under three years. In that time those farmers who are wide awake to the situation can adjust their affairs in such a way that the damage will be reduced to a minimum. "It has been proved by repeated tests that no limited acreage cotton can be successfully grown in spite of the weevil by following the methods advocated by the department of agriculture. "For the present the most important step is to put the farmers on a self-sustaining basis. Bankers and merchants cannot and will not afford to advance corn, meat and hay in the present large quantities on a cotton crop after the boll weevil arrives and while it would always have been better to produce these at home it is now imperative. The wise farmer will take advantage of the two or three years' reprieve, and get in the habit of supplying themselves before the crisis comes." Mr. Wilson then says: "If I were asked to name the most important crop for Mississippi for the next few years I would not hesitate to answer, 'Corn.' "It is claimed by some that this is not a corn country. I would respectfully refer those making this claim to the origin of the plan. Corn is a semitropical plant, requires warm weather to make its best growth. Therefore, with the proper culture, should make better yields in the south, than in the northern and western states. "It is urged by some that our soils are not adapted to corn. Yet the boys in the corn clubs last season, taking the southern states as a whole, made an average of sixty bushels per acre with quite a number passing the one hundred mark. "Again it is asserted that the Negro cannot be made to grow corn successfully. It is a well known fact that negro labor is used almost exclusively in the delta and yet reports from our demonstration farms in Washington county (Mississippi) showed an average yield of above forty bushels per acre and in every instant the work was done by negroes. "The above yields were made by following the methods advocated by the United States department of agriculture." The whole theme of Mr. Wilson's conversation is to make a farm support itself. He is thoroughly conversant with the subjects he has studied for many years. His influence in this state has been far-reaching. He is the successor to H. E. Saverly, transferred to Washington, D. C., as assistant in demonstration work throughout the south. Mr. Wilson is strongly in favor of the diversification idea. He advances reason after reason, ideas upon top of ideas as to why this is the salvation of, the south. All these subjects are skillfully and concisely handled in many different pamphlets issued by the agricultural department and Mr. Wilson asks that he be corresponded with regarding the work, best methods of farming, as taught by those who have made; it a life study. Set Husband on Fire. Hamilton, Ohio—Mrs. Edna Summerton, 26 years old, fearing that she would be committed, to an insane asylum, poured a can of gasoline over the bed in which her husbair-Harry, was sleeping, and set it afire. The woman then leaped headfirst from a second story window, alight on a fence. Both she and her husband are expected to die. Letter Delivered After 33 Years. El Paso, Texas—Jerry Faust, an employee of the Southern Pacific railroad, received a letter mailed in Pennsylvania thirty-four years ago. The letter was addressed to him at Pittsburg and was written at Biancard, Pa., July 24, 1875, by his stepmother Mrs. Mary Still. SOUTHERN·RY. PROGRESSIVE. Atlanta, Ga.-The telephone is to take the place of the telegraph on one of the most important sections of the line of the Southern railway between Washington and Atlanta, according to announcement just made by the company. On the one hundred and twenty-three miles between Monroe, Ya., and Greensboro, N. C., the company is preparing to put into operation a system of dispatching trains by telephone. Two complete metallic circuits are being installed, one for train orders and one messages, with instruments at each station on the line. The installation of these circuits is nearly complete and the service will be put into operation within the next few weeks. It is expected that the substitution of the telephone for the telegraph in the work of moving trains will ultimately be extended over other parts of the Southern railway system. The part of the line on which the telephone is being installed will, when work under construction is completed, have fifty-four miles of double track. The traffic over it is very heavy and an excellent opportunity will be afforded for the demonstration of the merits of the new system. In substituting the telephone for the old telegraph system of train orders the Southern railway is following its policy of bringing its lines to the highest possible state of efficiency. The telephone system has several advantages over the telegraph. The service is quicker in operation and errors can be better guarded against. The dispatcher writes the order as he sends it, spelling out all figures such as train numbers, engine numbers, and time. The receiver writes the message as he receives it and then repeats it to the dispatcher, spelling out all figures in the same way. The service is not only quicker and more accurate than the telegraph but it also bring the sender and receiver into closer personal touch. As the use of the telephone does not require any experience, the dispatcher, when occasion requires, can talk personally to the conductor or engineer of any train on his division. Telephone instruments can be installed at switches and sidings where it would be impracticable to maintain telegraph offices and operators, and the crew of a train using the switch or siding can communicate with the train dispatcher, notifying him when they have cleared the main-line and asking for orders when they are ready to leave the switch or siding. This improvement like all others on the main stem of the Southern means benefit not only for the territory immediately touched but better service for every city and town on the lines of the system. LATE NEWS NOTES. Washington. The uniform of an enlisted, man of the United States army, or navy, may never again be used as an excuse to bar the wearers from public places. The house committee on naval affairs reported unanimously the bill introduced by Representative Hobson of Alabama, prohibiting by fine and imprisonment the exclusion of soldiers or sailors from hotels, restaurants, theaters, dance halls and other public places. One of the latest explanations of the high cost of living was made by President Hamilton of Tufts college before the Massachusetts Teachers' association. In no other country in the world, he said, is there the same demand and cry for the luxuries of life in every class of society as characterizes the American nation, none where 'the laboring class demands so much.' He says this class of people want the same comforts and superfluities which characterize the way of life of the very wealthy. In fifty years the foreign trade of the United States has sextupled in values, according to figures contained in the "statistical abstract of foreign countries," a publication recently issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor, after years of research work. The battleship Maine is to be hailed from Havana harbor. The house committee on naval affairs ordered a favorable report on the Loud bill, providing for the raising of the Maine and the burial of the coodies still in the wreck in Arlington National cemetery. The United States seems to be losing ground rapidly as an exporting nation, judging by a report issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. This shows that during the eight months ending with February last, the excess of exports over imports was $189,125,415, a decrease of $152,524,136, as compared with last year. A private telephone wire from the home of Charles P. Taft in Cincinnati to the white house in Washington is being arranged with the American Telephone and Telegraph company. The seven hundred and twenty-five miles of wire will be at the services of Charles P. Taft from 6 p. m. to 6 a. m. No outside hands will manipulate the switchboard plugs and no outside ear will hear the personal conversation of the tee brother. This wire, it is said, will cost Mr. Taft $24,000 a year. By an equally divided court, the supreme court of the United States, affirmed the decision of the federal court of California, which held the grazing of sheep without permission on forest reserves was not a violation of the law. Georgia Will Produce a Record Grain Crop This Year. GROWING DIVERSIFIED CROPS Warm Weather Has Caused Farmers of Georgia to Get Busy Planting Their Crops---Labor Outlook Worries Farmers. Albany, Ga.—The price of day labor in this section is threatening to soar to heights never reached before. The rivalry between industrial concerns and builders employing large forces of laborers is unprecedentedly keen, and the ordinary workman is in his element. Wherever building operations are in progress big signs display inviting offers of higher wages than have ever been paid. The minimum is $1.25 a day, and the scale runs, in some cases, as high as $1.75. The keen demand for labor in the towns and cities is causing farmers no little uneasiness. Labor was scarce in January, when arrangements for the year's operations were being made, and many farmers have yet to secure the help that will be required, before the crops are made. That the will be able to do so is seriously doubted. The problem threatens to grow more serious as the season on the farms advances, and a new record price for field hands is easily within the range of possibility. Jackson, Ga.-If Butts county does not have the largest wheat and oat crop in her history, it will not be the fault of the farmers, who have planted an unusually large acreage in these important crops. On every hand one gets the information that wheat and oats are to take the place of cotton. This program is being carried out on an extensive scale. Farmers of Butts county are farming on the intensive plan more than at any other time in their history. This leaves the same acreage for cotton, while more food crops will be raised. A good deal of attention is being paid to the raising of stock, particularly hogs. The farmers now say there is more money in raising hogs than in planting cotton. Perry, Ga.—The continued spring weather has put energy in our farmers, and they are busily rushing their farming operations. Some have planted corn, others are ready to plant and others will plant next week. All are preparing to plant large acreages of provision crops. The grain crop is now looking fine, of which large acreages were planted. The fruit trees are blooming, being literally covered with blossoms, and the fruit growers are jubilant over the prospect of a large crop of peaches, of which there are millions of trees in Houston county. There will be a large acreage of watermelons planted throughout the county. danger, in view of the present warr spell, which is giving life to all kinds of vegetation and causing the bud on the trees to swell. If the present warm weather continues much longer there will hardly be a peach tree in the county upon which the buds have not swelled, and should a freeze come later on the crop will be killed. The continued cold, which was re throughout the state up to a few day ago, retarded any premature sap rising or budding, and held back from blossoming the peach trees. A cold snap now, it is feared, would seriously hurt the crop. Americus, Ga. — Americus peach growers are alarmed at the prospect for a fruit crop since the recent war weather set in, starting the trees to bloom prematurely. Tens of thousands of trees in the Americus territory are in full bloom and within a week every orchard will resemble a blooming garden. Up to a week ago the trees had not advanced far, but the few late hot days have caused thousands of peach trees here to bloom abundantly. Ga. U; C. V. Staff Officers. Macon, Ga.—Brigadier General Joseph W. Preston of the eastern brigade of the Georgia division of the Confederate Veterans, has announced his staff and associates as follows: Adjutant general and chief of staff. Robert W. Jémison, Macon, Ga.; inspector general, T. O. Chestney, Macon, Ga.; chief of ordnance, F. S. Johnson, Grays, Ga.; chief of artillery, Thomas-B. Cabaniss, Forsyth, Ga.; chief of commissary, Hardy Smith, Dublin, Ga.; chief paymaster, O. G. Roberts, Monticello, Ga.; judge advocate general, T. E. Young, Macon, Ga.; chief engineer, Daniel B. Samford, Milledgeville, Ga.; chief quartermaster, W. S. Holaman, Athens, Ga. The rank of the adjutant general is lieutenant colonel. The rank of all others named is major and will be so respected by the brigade Georgia Division Camps U. C. V. are urged by General Waddell, commander, to send in their headquarter dues to General Mickle at once. General Waddell wants the Georgia Division fully represented at Mobile, Aia., on April 26-27, 1910. Beer Tax Coming In. Atlanta, Ga—Returns from several counties in the state indicate that the near beer tax this year will be equally as large, if not larger than it was last year, in spite of the increased tax' and restrictions fixed by the legislature at the last session. The counties which have forwarded near beer tax money and the amount sent in by each follows: Chatham $53,300; Lowndes, $10,300; Bibb, $15,400; Glynn, $5,300; Sumter, $3,400; Decatur, $3,700; Troup, $300. To Improve Reformatory. Milledgeville, Ga. Among the other improvements contemplated by the prison commission in the state reformatory, here is the establishment of a machine shop, or school for manual training for the white boys confined in that institution. GEORGIA NEWS NOTES. Twiggs county wins out over Wilkinson in the dispute between them as to their county line. After a hearing Secretary of State Phil Cook gave his conclusions in the matter, handing the decision to Twiggs and upholding the survey recently made by Fulton county's surveyor. By this decision, Twiggs county wins a strip of territory half a mile wide at its base, dwindling down to a point twenty miles away. Commissioner T. G. Hudson of the state department of agriculture is laid up under the doctor's orders for a week or so with a bad throat. He returned to Atlanta from an official trip out into the state. His physicians have commanded a rest of at least a week till his throat, which has been ailing for about ten days, shows some signs of improvement. Formal transfer of the Albany and Northern railway to the Georgia, Southwestern and Gulf was completed at Albany. The line will be built southward from Albany to St. Andrews Bay, on the Gulf of Mexico. A public, building bill will be put through at this session of congress, which means that new public buildings will be erected in half a dozen Georgia cities in which the government has already secured sites. New public buildings in Thomasville, Elberton, Cedartown, Cartersville, Quitman and Carrollton will probably be provided for in this bill, though the total amount to be carried will not exceed $15,000,000. Augusta is asking for a half-million for a public building. Fifty-four merchants were fined $1 and costs each by the recorder at Rame for neglecting to sweep in front of their stores. This is the beginning of a crusade for a rigid enforcement of sanitary ordinances by the board of public works, it is announced in police circles. The Lawrenceville branch railroad, running a distance of nine and one-half miles from Lawrenceville to Suwanee, where connection is made with the Atlanta-Charlotte line of the Southern railway, is to be changed from a narrow-gauge road to a line of standard gauge. Work has already been begun, and is to be completed during April. The completion of this work will mean much for Lawrenceville as a competitive freight point. At present all freight from the Southern has to be transferred at Suwanee, and this has caused, much inconvenience. With this road a standard gauge, carload shipments can be sent direct into Lawrenceville, which will doubtless be greatly appreciated by the merchants of that place. There are more than a hundred and fifty applications for clemency now pending before the prison board, fifty of which are murder cases. It is a well-known fact that every murder case is now appealed to the prison commission before the sentence of the law is executed. Mr. A. L. Gillis of Gillis Spring was in Vidalia to confer with Messrs. Powell and Sneed in reference to the trolley line that will be built, from Vidalia to the Gillis Spring in Emannuel county.

The water power for the road will be secured from the Penhoope river, which has a good fall at the Gillis Spring end of the road, and power will be furnished to plants in Vidalla. Through its president and attorneys the Middle Georgia Interurban Railway company, has filed with the rail road commission in Atlanta, a petition to be allowed to issue first mortgage bonds to the extent of $1,050,000, also for the right to issue stock to the extent of $200,000. This is the first definite step in the direction of building the trolley line from Griffin to Social Circle via Jackson, Indian Springs and Monticello. The near-beer tax for 1910 is beginning to arrive. The first tax of the year for this beverage was received at the office of the state treasurer in the form of a check for $9,000 from the ordinary of Muscogee county. It is customary for the tax to be paid by the end of the first quarter of the year, and a number of similar checks are expected during the present month. Although the legislatures at the last session raised the tax on retailers from $200 to $300 annually, and raised the manufacturers from $5,000 per year and excluded the sale from towns of less than two thousand five hundred inhabitants, Comptroller General Wright does not anticipate a decrease in the amount of the tax for this year. "I have noticed," remarked the comptroller, "that raising a tax on a beverage of this character seldom reduces the amount of the tax. It seems that people will buy it and those who sell it will pay the tax, regardless of how high it is." An additional impetus will be given the government demonstration work being done among the farmers of Whitfield county. Those interested in the work are now preparing a "round up" to take place some time this fall, when the men will meet at Dalton and discuss the work of the year, showing the results of their efforts. The merchants will offer a large number of prizes for the best exhibits to be made. At present there are about one hundred engaged in this work in the county. A gathering of representative citizens met at Jesup and organized the Wayne County Agricultural society. The principal object of the meeting was to perfect the arrangements for holding a county fair, next fall, and also to make an exhibit at the state fair. General Clement A. Evans of the prison commission has about recovered from his recent attack of illness and is now able to sit with the commission. Jackson's capitalists are planning to build a power plant at Smith's mills, on the Ocmulgee river, about four miles below the site of the Central Georgia Power company's plant. There is an old water plant located there and at small cost it is said a large amount of power can be developed very cheap. So far Butts county has more water power development than, any other county in the state.

For the month of January they made a record of laying five hundred and fifty-eight eggs, an average of eighteen for each day, for the thirty pullets. These chickens were hatched April 14 and 21 and May 7. During the month of January they laid forty-two dozen eggs, the average price of which is $3 per dozen. It will be observed that the thirty chickens produced $126 worth of eggs during the month. They required no special attention nothing more than is usually given the average yard by the average poultryman. Registration Lists Growing Atlanta, Ga.-The county officials of Georgia have to a large extent laid aside their other duties and are now devoting both time and energy to the work of getting the names of voters on the registration lists, which close April 5. As a result of this activity, thousands of voters who would, in a probability, not have realized until too late the absolute necessity under the law of early registration, are now in a position to participate in this year's elections instead of being disfranchised.

The pinnacle of ledge on which the cottage was perched was well nigh inaccessible; quite so, in fact, except by way of the picturesque little footpath that crept up to it from the group of summer houses clustered on the brow of the beach around its feet a few hundred yards below. The path was as lazy in its meanerings up the slope as the cottagers themselves—turning aside to touch every blossoming sweet bril bush and showing long frequent loiterings at each rock seat along the way. Midsummer was at hand and the Eyrie the centre of attraction to every summer young man at Spurwink Cliffs. It had been so since the barge running semi-daily from the station three miles away had deposited an even half-dozen delectable summer girls at the foot of "Eyrie Path" late one afternoon three weeks prior to the opening of the story. Several impetuous youths — more eager than wise — scrambled up the narrow footway the morning after the arrival, with the expectation of catching a gilpse of the newcomers, and incidentally precipitating an introduction, but not only were the young ladies invisible, they found, much to their surprise, a corpulent, middle-aged, dignified female sitting in the window that held the path and intently reading. When or by what means a portly chaperon could have been smuggled into town right under the eyes of the summer colony puzzled the young man as much as her presence chagrined them, for they had already entertained visions of unlimited good times with a bevy of unchaperoned summer girls. "No fun up here, boys; let's watch out for the girls around the rocks and the beach; that old lady won't get far from camp with all her ailordupoils and this hill in the proposition, too, you mark my words," and Billy Matthews ordered his squad to "right about face" and retreat. The story of the safely guarded Eryle soon spread through the little community, and various tactics were devised by the boys to lure the new girls Into the holiday life of this particular half-dozen summer young men. The scheme all proved more or less successful, for it transpired as Billy Matthews had predicted; the Duanna, or "our chaperon, Madam Barlow," as she soon came to be facelessly called, never did attempt the difficult path, even in the discharge of an obvious duty. Nevertheless, all hints to the girls for an invitation to call at the Eryle were ignored by them, and every attempt made by the ardent "half-dozen" to steal up uninvited resulted in confronting the obsequious Madam Barlow with the inevitable book in hand in the "watch tower," as the window came to be called, and past which no welcoming mod ever encouraged them. The girls proved every bit as enticing as the first sight of them had promised, and if, one by one they eventually eluded the ferret eyes of the madman and stole an hour singly or in groups on the rocks, or for a stroll in the moonlight, or a dip in the surf with these equally charming young men, it is certain no one troubled about it, and all the cottagers encouraged it from pure love of mischief, seeming, for the exclusive "Madam" had, by medium of her young flock, absolutely declined all overtures of hospitality extended either to herself or the young ladies by the friendly disposed cottagers at the foot of her path. All day long, and day succeeding day, she sat there, reading—reading—reading, never condescending one glance even along the path up whose inhospitable way neighborly eyes were looking at her impassive face in the window. The cottagers alternately pitted and drained her, but it showed very clearly where the most of their sympathy was bestowed by their aiding the young people in all their plans for a walk with the Eyrie girls." As the days sped on it became evident that affaits-were likely to take a serious turn among these "two half-dozens" of young people. Billy Matthews was hopelessly in love with Ethel Moses — everybody could see that—and Ralph Ingraham was developing symptoms easily diagnosed by his chums, and which he ingeniously admitted. Fred Lander and Beatrice Murowre read Omar Khayam too insistently for it to "go down" with any one who had, previously known, Fred and knew how sordidly he detested poetry of all sorts, while the other individuals of the now-famous "double sexet" were manifestly following, closely the lead of these three couples. As a matter of fact, Madam Barlow was not greatly to be complimented on her shrewdness or her trustworthiness as a professional chaperon. The girls metaphorically "pulled the wool over her eyes" at will, and both boys and girls went their own sweet way—the way of all lovers—during six delightful weeks; then came the denouement. The, Wavelet, a weekly folle sheet gotten out for the amusement of the summer colony, announced the engagement of four out of the six couples whose life centred about the Eyrie, and made convincing prophecies respecting the others. Only two hours later the colony was startled to the point of horror by the news of tragedy at the Eyrie. Madam Barlow (no doubt in desperation at this disastrous turn of affairs and realizing her flagrant breach of trust) had suicided. Help was summoned to the Eyrie, and the pathway was quickly a wavering line of hurrying, struggling, puffing, perspiring, wild-eyed humanity. The Eyrie door stood open and without ceremony men, women and children with hushed voices filed into the cottage. In the living room they were met by the six young women dressed in pure white and with serious faces. "This way, if you please," and Beatrice Munroe, acting as spokeswoman, led the way into the dining room, where the bewildered, incredulous eyes of the people met an array of daintily spread luncheon tables ranged round the four sides of the room, while from the ceiling overhead depended a manila rope, and from the end of this rope, which passed around her ample waist line, swayed the portly figure of Madam Barlow—a dummy in wax and other accessories. But one brief moment was needed for comprehension, then: "Hurrah for the passing of Madam Barlow" went up from the guests. "And welcome to our engagement feast," responded a chorus of happy voices, while simultaneously six immaculately dressed young men stepped unblushingly out from some hidden recess of the room.—Boston Post. SCOTTISH HUMOR. Some Examples of Repartee of Cellic Lawyers The story told in these columns of the Scottish advocate reminds a contributor of a few more. A case was being tried before the late Lord Young—"Crabbe vs. Crabble," "I may explain, my Lud," said the advocate, "that my client Crabbe is a nephew of our opponent Crabble, but a few years ago he dropped the 'I' from his name for the sake of euphony." "Ah," replied Lord Young, "he has Biblical authority for that—If thy "I" offend the pluck it out." The present Lord Justice General (Lord Dunedin) was, as Mr. Graham Murray, pleading before Lord Young. At the time Mr. Graham Murray had the largest practice at the Scottish bar, but was also able to mix freely and late in Edinburgh society. In the course of an argument Mr. Murray, to find a metaphor, made some reference to a ball he had been at the previous night, or, rather, the same morning. "I can not understand, Sollicitor-General," said Lord Young, "how you can burn the candle at both ends." "Ah." replied Mr. Graham Murray, "I do that to make both ends meet." Lord Ardwall, one of the Judges of the Court of Session, is a man of large proportions. One day, as Mr. Andrew Jamieson, he was pleading before Lord Young, and the opposing counsel interposed with the remark that he was not disposed to disagree with his friend. "But, my Lud," said Mr. Jamieson, "the Lord Advocate and I are not by any means in the same boat." "No," said Lord Young, "you will require one entirely to yourself." The late Mr. Lancaster had against him as a witness an Irish woman who was particularly categorical as to her dates and how this happened at 4.27 on Tuesday, this at 6.33 on Friday, and so on. At last the patience of the advocate was exhausted. "My dear woman," said Mr. Lancaster, "do you keep a diary? "No, sir," replied the woman, "a dram shot." A young advocate had pleaded his first case, and when the judgment was given his client he exclaimed: "I am surprised at your Lordship's judgment." There was consternation in the court, and something had to be done to save the young counsel from his unheard of rashness. The matter was submitted to the dean of the Faculty of Advocates, who when the court assembled next day rose and addressed their lordships. "My young friend," he said, "yesterday committed what may seem an unforgible indiscretion, but one for which he asks the clemency of the Court. Had he pleaded as long as I have I am sure he would never be surprised at any of your lordships' judgments."—Tit-Bits. In France they have an expressive phrase, "liquid money." It means that part of the family income which is used for the necessities and luxuries of life. It is kept apart from the more serious, substantial portion of the income, which is that set aside for saving. Utilizing Straw. Owing to its abundance straw is added to barnyard manure, but it can be made more serviceable if made fine with the feed cutter before being used. While straw may soon rot after being mixed with manure, yet in a fine condition it is a much better absorbent and can be forked into the manure with advantage. When loading and spreading manuro there is a saving of labor when handling that which is fine, and the manure will be more valuable because the loss of ammonia will be arrested by the use of suitable absorbent materials.—Epitomist. Pedigreed Stock Trade. If you expect to sell hogs at fancy prices you must produce fancy hogs. Too many breeders are content with a fancy pedigree, expecting the blood lines of the animal to carry it into popularity. While it is very essential that an animal have a desirable pedigree, it is all the more essential that the animal itself possess individual merit. As soon as breeders of pedigree hogs come to a full understanding that the animal produced must possess greater merit in connection with the pedigree then the people will readily pay a good price for it, regardless of whether or not public demand is strong for such animals.—Farmers' Home Journal. How to Tell a Fresh Egg. It is easily possible to tell the difference between a fresh egg and a sold storage egg without breaking the shell, and dealers in the District of Columbia who sell stored eggs for "strictly fresh" ones may be prosecuted and convicted, according to statements to-day of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the Government's chief chemist, at the "high cost of living" hearing being conducted by a House subcommittee. Dr. Wiley had a large, number of fresh eggs and some of the cold storage variety. Dropping them into a large vessel of water containing ten per cent. salt solution, the fresh eggs immediately sank to the bottom and the refrigerated ones floated on the surface. When asked how he knew the eggs were fresh, Dr. Wiley replied that one of his inspectors saw the hens lay them yesterday. Feeding Lambs. One of the most inviting and profitable of the animal industries now is the feeding of lambs for the city markets. A few feeders are undertaking this line of feeding with great success. No other young animal makes so large and profitable a growth as the lamb, no other young animal begins to feed profitably so early as the lamb does. Lambs are very little trouble to feed; all they need is a roll or board pen open at the bottom sufficiently for them to crawl under; set this pen in the pasture. They should be fed meal in a V-shaped trough. The ewes cannot enter but will try to and thus encourage the lambs to go in; they will soon learn to eat, and the appetite will increase rapidly with their growth. As newly weaned lambs as a general thing bring the highest price in the market, this method of disposing of the lambs is to be encouraged.—A Reader, in the Indiana Farmer. Alfalfa Will Grow Everywhere While experts have been declaring that alfalfa would only grow in certain soils and in certain climates it has proven adaptability to nearly all climates and almost all soils. It produces with a rainfall as scant as fourteen inches, and in the Gulf States flourishes with sixty-five inches. It gives crops at an elevation of 8000 feet above sea level, and in southern California it grows below sea level-to a height of six feet or over, with nine cuttings a year, aggregating ten to twelve tons. An authenticated photograph in possession of the writer shows a wonderful alfalfa plant raised in the (irrigated) desert of southern California, sixty feet below sea level, that measured considerably more than ten feet in height. Satisfactory crops are raised, but on limited areas as yet, in Vermont and Florida. New York has grown it for over one hundred years in her clay and gravel; Nebraska grows it in her western sand hills without plowing, as does Nevada on her sage-brush desert. The depleted cotton soils of Alabama and rich corn lands of Illinois and Missouri each respond generously with profitable yields to the enterprising farmer, while its accumulated nitrogen and the sub-soiling it effects are making the rich land more valuable and giving back to the crowning the priceless elements of which it has been in successive generations despoiled by a conscience husbandry.—From Coburn's "The Book of Alfalfa." Poultry Success. Success with poultry 'is had by "knowing how." This is not learned in a day, or even a year, as we have found by experience. In 1876 it the World's Fair they had royal birds—Asiatics, European and Mediterranean, but no barn yard fowls. This was a world's fair and the barn yards were not in it. In our boyhood days this barn yard tribe furnished eggs in profusion. When we saw those royal birds we thought they offered a royal road to success, but our idea of royalty then differs from what it is now. Experience with those royal birds showed that royal birds, like royal people, are "poor stuff" to build-success upon. The Aslattice were "too indolent to keep healthy, and the corn crib low-gred rapidly. Europeans were too quarrelsome. It took a large range to hold them and outside of egg production they were not suitable. We then secured Houdans and Rocks; these proved more profitable than any of the former kinds. When the R. I. Regs came around we found in them an ideal fowl for the farm, and so far they have proved aheal of anything ever tried. What is necessary for success? Three things are most essential: Right kind of hens. Right kind of shelter. Right kind of food. These three given by the right kind of man or woman insure success, especially when in charge of the woman. Right kind of heens are first: Early hatched pullets; good healthy one-year olds, after moulting. Best kind of shelter does not mean costly houses. Rooms should be warm, light, dry and rooym, and well protected from all draughts of cold winds. Best kinds of feeds are a variation of the grain, green feeds when possible; when not, the want supplied with damped clover or alfalfa hay; animal food or in place of it milk; fresh water at all times. Whole corn should be fed at nights; if roasted, so much the better. As to breeds. For farmers the Mediterranean breeds are well adapted, where wide range is given. They will not bear close confinement. The Reds are the best all around breed we have tried, docile and quiet in habit, good foragers, and require little feed when not penned. In securing fowls one should buy only of reliable breeders, as only the best should be used for building up a flock. Secure'breeds of early maturity, good size, shape and good egg producing qualities.-J. H. H., in the Indiana Farmer. Farm Notes. The very best stock will not be long in degenerating if not properly fed and cared for. Sweet apples that are not salable are greatly relished and an excellent feed for the fowls. Scald out the drinking vessels every few weeks; it kills germs and prevents diseases from starting. The poultry house is more convenient, more easily cleaned and more easily kept cleaned if everything in it is readily movable. Regularity in feeding and other general management is important with poultry, and especially don't forget to be regular in cleaning up. The best medicine for any animal or fowl is preventive; hence their food and general surroundings should be such as to promote health. It is disputed as to whether to feed soft food in the morning or evening, but the general tendency now seems to favor morning feeding of mashes. One of the best feeds for poultry is green bone. It stimulates health and egg-production, and can be secured cheaply at any meat market. Don't neglect it! If your chicken house roof leaks, fix it or get out of the poultry business. Chickens are as well off outdoors as in a house that permits drafts and dampness. A few tobacco leaves crushed in the bottom of each nest will be a great help in exterminating vermin both in the nest and on the bodies of the hens which visit the nest. It is rank nonsense to allow the droppings to lie in the house week in and week out, engendering disease and breeding lice; and then the poultryman wonders why his hens don't lay. Look out for a supply of grit during the winter months. It is scarce then because the ground is frozen, but it is of more vital importance than in the summer. Hens must have teeth. The man who keeps on year after year breeding the best in his chosen variety; regardless of the public fancy for new breeds, will get good prices for his birds-offender than he will miss them. — From "Timely Poultry Hints," in the Epitomist. A Cat Twenty Years Old. John Ferguson, of Clark's Mills, without much doubt has the oldest cat in York County, if not in Maine. He is of good old fashioned New England breed, none of the fancy variety, and was raised as a hitten in the family. If he lives four months longer he will be twenty years old. The cat's appetite is not so robust as it once was, and he isn't bothering much about rats and mice, but his health is fairly good, and no child in York County gets better care than the Ferguson family gives this venerable feline. —Lewiston Journal. It was so cold in New York part of the winter of 1779 that residents of the vicinity were compelled to cut down the tall trees that stood, at what is now the head of Wall Street to make kindling wood. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY-SERMON BY B. CHARLES W. M'CORMICK. Theme: Faith. Brooklyn, N. Y. —Dr. Charles W. McCormick, pastor of the Nostrand Avenue M. E. Church, preached Sunday morning the sixth in a series of notable sermons on "The Fruits of the Spirit." The special subject was "Faith." The sermons 5:22: "Now the fruit of the Spirit is faith." Dr. McCormick said; What is faith? Perhaps no one can answer. Certainly no one will be able to give a scientific definition. For faith is one of those ultimate impulses of the soul which defies accurate metes and bounds. Like love, it is so wrought into the fiber of personality that, it cannot be separated from faith. It is one of the most kingly of all human abilities. The old question, which is greater, faith or love may never find its answer. Each is great and in certain conditions supremely so, and each conditions the other. Without faith there can be no love, and without love there can be no faith. Yet it would seem as if faith has a certain priority in that it holds up the light for love to walk by. If love and faith are the same, they travel but little way hard in hand. Soon faith takes a step ahead and becomes the guide of love, though sometimes faith falls back on love when it is itself menaced. Likewise the question, which is greater, faith or reason, may be difficult to answer. Reason in its low ranges has to do with facts and phenomena and their arrangement. But reason in its high ranges draws mighty inferences, makes great generalizations and by demonstration for generations, if not forever. Here reason merges into faith and faith finds its foothold in reason. It seems that faith is after all hardly other than the highest utterance of reason. Especially does this seem true when we remember that reason in the large, meaning always assumes some great and indemonstrable principle. It seems easy to say that a grain of wheat will produce a puff of wheat, a folly of wheat when planted in congenial soil, but the great assumption underlying this simple statement is that the laws of nature are uniform in their operation and this is demonstrable only to faith. But what is faith? Can we get any nearer to an understanding of it? At any rate, we may clarify our thought by determining the use we will make of the word. The term faith is applied either to the act of believing or to the content of belief; that is, to belief as a function of the soul or to what the individual believes, or to what the individual speaks, the phrase "the faith once delivered to the saints." Here Paul has in mind the great body of Christian doctrine received from Christ and generally accepted by the church of that day. On the other hand, when Paul exhorted the Philippian jailer to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, he referred to an act on the part of the jailer though he did not forget that the Christ upon whom the jailer was to believe was to be possessed well-known and accepted characteristics. We have taken a short step toward understanding what faith is when we make this distinction and limit ourselves to this action of the soul. But we need to make clear also that faith is not the action of some special soul power. It is nothing less than the act of the whole spiritual nature. Our faith is the action of faith which makes it a more intellectual process. Pure intellect is only a theoretical concept. It is not found in reality. All intellectual processes are the outgrowth of the individual soul as it is, and no soul can be separated for a single instant from its feeling, its trend and its accumulated volitions or habits. Faith, then, can be nothing less than the action of the whole nature of man. In like manner between a transient and a permanent activity. Faith in the New Testament sense is not a single act complete in itself. It is a constant and enduring movement or trend of the soul. In the interest of further clearness, it may be noted also that faith as an action may relate either to facts or persons. We may believe either that certain statements are true, or we may believe in a person. Faith in the Christian sense involves both an action and a response, we must speak very guardedly. There is much in the present trend of theological thinking, which finds its echo in popular thought, that tends to looseness, and, it would seem, to vagueness. When we are told that faith has to do with God as a person, or with Jesus Christ as a person without regard to any historical past, we are asked to do better the impossible or the absurd; perhaps both. It is hard to hold of God without giving to Him some definite qualities. If we know Him at all, we must know Him as we know our fellows, through His manifestations. That is, through the display of His qualities. The "unknowable" of Heresy is the unknowable nature of intellectual incompetence where the mind has failed in its valm eavow to account for the universe and explain its processes. It is worth something to fall back upon the assertion that there is an unknown and perhaps unknowable power working everywhere and always in nature, which on the whole makes for rightness, and that the conclusion runs out of the inability to reflect to go any further in its search. And this assertion, empty as it is, is the assertion of faith and not of the intellect. It is a postulate which man must make because he is made as he is. But it is impossible either to love or to believe in a postulate. Faith must find for its full exercise much more than the ability to comprehend or attribute. The personality of Jesus Christ means something if we accept as substantially true the Gospel narrative, illuminated and enforced by the progress of Christian history. But if deny the Gospel, or with Schmelel reduce the biography of Jesus to two or three sentences of the most ordinary sort, it does not seem credible that Jesus as a person shall long survive. Whatever else may be true, it is true that the Christ in whom the world believes, and before power from age to age, is the Christ of the Gospels. In all our present-day thinking, it is this Christ whose image stands before us, whom we love and in whom we trust. A Christ who ms no history and whose life therefore presenta no facts for creation Christ. Nevertheless, the faith of which the New Testament speaks relates chiefly to persons. Christinity is not fundamentally a creed, but the manifestation of God in Christ Jesus, to which man may respond trustfully and loyalty, and it is this response which we believe. We are not to bring us to God, that we may love Him and believe in Him, and therefore, serve Him. And I am persuaded that many a man finds God in Christ with whose technical theology I could not agree. If all men had to believe the same creed, salvation who do not find it difficult to believe in the same God and the same Christ with difference of definition. What, then, is faith? Four our purposes to-day as it relates to God it is the continued, and loyal movement of the entire soul of a man toward God as the reveler of truth and the authoritative Lord of life. We may note also two other meanings of faith which grow out of this larger meaning, for faith not only comprises the entire nature of the individual, but also the whole field of his activities. Faith in God implies faith in our fellowmen as the creation of God, or from the Christian point of view, the children of God. By this we may not be led astray of all distinctions of character, nor the assertion that all men are equally to be relied upon; but it does mean a recognition of humanity as involved in the purpose of a trustworthy God, and therefore, itself worthy of confidence. He who believes in God as his Father, believes also in man as his brother. Faith in God implies also good faith on the part of the believer. To accept God as the giver of light and the Lord of knowledge ourselves bound to be acquainted with limitations to Him. And to acknowledge the brotherhood of man, including ourselves, is to enthrone the principle of good faith among men. In a word, faith is the expression of the soul's love of truth and its loyalty to truth; to God who is truth and whose plans, though not understood by us; are the embodiment of His truth; to man, who, created in the image of God and redeemed by God's only begotten Son, preserves yet amid the numerous results of his sin, some traces of the nature of his life, for the purpose of unlimited development; to self as the creature of the true God and as part of the constituted order of things where truth forms the only reliable basis of harmonious action. Faith thus defined bulks large. It is seen to be not merely the transient activity of a single phase of man's nature, the intellect, but the continued movement of man's entire being, intellect, sensibilities, will, toward truth and ultimately toward the God of truth. It is not for a day nor an hour, but for all time and for all eternity, not limited to a single faculty of the mind. It is the whole soul. It has not for its object a limited area of truth, but reaches out toward all truth, even the infinite God of truth. It is difficult, if not impossible, to draw a clear line of distinction between what is called "natural" and what is called "religious". faith. To one who believes as I do that man is a religious being through and through, the faith which arises in the ordinary so-called "secular" processes of life and has to do with practical life. He is a religious spirit. By this I mean that man is a creation of the Almighty, upon whose soul and its consequent activities God has stamped. His own nature. Furthermore, God has interwoven Himself in the very fabric of the universe. If, as we have said, faith is necessary to all progress, then the exercise of faith on the part of man displays something of the divine nature within him. It is because God has sent forth His spirit into the heart of man that man is able to think God's thoughts after Him in the universe and to such extent that his response reaches of confident accomplishments which have wrought the great accomplishments in the material and intellectual development of human life in relation to the world outside of man. Yet it must be conceded that religious faith is of a higher order than this general faith because it deals with a higher order of facts. The moral nature of man is his crowning possession. The apprehension of God marks the highest reach of his moral intelligence. Fellowship with God is the highest attribute to a preme privilege. To believe in God is the highest attribute to faith and the exercise of this attribute is conditioned by personal fellowship with God. As with every one else, God must first be known and then believed. When one knows God, especially as a personal friend and Saviour, it is not difficult to believe what otherwise would be most incomprehensible, nor to trust God where without such knowledge trust would be impossible. The edge of God is made possible through the Holy Spirit whom God hath sent into the hearts of those who believe, crying, "Aba, Father." In like manner it is this knowledge of God which underlies and conditions faith in our fellowmen and good faith on the part of ourselves. If God has faith in man, the believer in God must have also, God has told the individual who realizes that God has faith in him must make a fitting response of good faith. Great heights give wide visions to open eyes. It is only when the spirit of God leads men to those exalted experiences where he knows and feels that God has told about him becomes holy ground and the horizon is pushed back so that he can behold the infinite glory beyond. Creed. A creed is that which a man thinks in his heart, and what he thinks in heart he will and does. Confirmation Services at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.

On Sunday night the church was well packed. Rev Wright read for the lesson Matt 25:31-46. Rev Miller made a very soft, sweet and touching prayer. "The choir sang very impressively "Rock of Ages." Rev Wright's text was from Matt 25:45, subject "The last Judgement." He held his hearers spell-bound all through his sermon. His description of the Judge upon His throne and each individual going before Him to be judged and sentenced was as perfect as words could make it. His sermon was very touching and it was quite evident that it was felt by all. The choir sang very sweetly and impressively the medly "Jesus lover of my soul" Rev Wright led the hymn. That awful day will surely come." He invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat. He spoke of a young lady who fearing the criticism of her friends would not give her heart to Christ and when death came to her she could only say, "Too late I have overstayed the day of grace." A very large crowd bowed and Lie W Stewart prayed. After the general collection, a collection of 37 38 was taken up to help two poor sick members.

By ELBERT HUBBARD: Benjamin Franklin was the fifteenth child in a nice little family of seventeen. When he was twelve years old his schooldays, were past, and he was apprenticed to his brother as printer's devil. He was born in Boston, but migrated early and arrived, in Philadelphia with one dollar and twenty-five cents; and no more, in his pocket. Franklin was the best all-round educated man that America has produced. When he was forty-two he had accumulated a fortune of seventy-five thousand dollars. It gave him an income of about four thousand dollars a year, which he said was all he wanted; so he sold out his business, intending to devote his entire energies to the study of science and languages. He had lived just one-half his days, and had he then passed out his life could have been summed up as one of the most useful that ever had been lived. He had founded and been the life of the Juno Club, the most sensible and beneficent club of which I ever heard. This club began with twelve members, all printers. The membership was increased, but finally, I believe, was limited to forty. They met weekly and read, talked and presented little essays by the members. All of the original twelve men became distinguished and successful citizens. The series of questions asked at every meeting of the Juno so mirrored the life and habit of thought of Franklin that we had better glance at a few of them: 1. Have you met with anything in the author you last read remarkable or suitable to be communicated to the Juno; particularly in history, morality, physics, travels, mechanical arts or other parts of knowledge? 2. Do you know of a fellow citizen who has lately done a worthy action, deserving praise and imitation; or who has lately committed an error, proper for us to be warned against and avoid? 3. What unhappy effects of intemperance have you lately observed or heard; of imprudence, or passion, or of any other vice or folly? 4. What happy effects of temperance, of prudence, or moderation, or of any other virtue? 5. Do you think of anything at present wherein the members of the Juno may be serviceable to mankind, to their country, to their friends or to themselves? 6. Hath any deserving stranger arrived in town since last meeting that you have heard of? And what have you heard or observed of his character or merits? And whether, think you, it lies in the power of the Junto to oblige him, or encourage him as he deserves? 7. Have you lately observed any encroachment on the just liberties of the people? 8. Have you any weighty affair on hand in which you think the advice of the Junto may be of service? 9. Is there any difficulty in matters of opinion, of justice and injustice, which you would gladly have discussed at this time? The Junto led to the establishment by Franklin of the Philadelphia Public Library, that became the parent of all public libraries in America. He also organized and equipped a fire company; paved and lighted the streets of Philadelphia; established a high school and an academy for the study of the French branches, which evolved into the University of Pennsylvania, and founded the Philadelphia Public Hospital. He was postmaster in Philadelphia, and on account of his special knowledge of postal affairs was Postmaster-General under President George Washington. Franklin wrote out the following prayers, which were for a time relicted in concert on the opening of the Junto Club meetings: "That I may have tenderness for the mask; that I may be kind to my neighbors, good-natured to my companions and hospitable to strangers—Help me, O God!" "That I may be averse to craft and overreaching, abhor extortion and every kind of weakness and wickedness—Help me, O God!" "That I may have constant-regard to honor and probity; that I may possess an innocent and good conscience, and at length become truly virtuous, magnanimous and helpful to my fellow men—Help me, O God!" "That I may refrain from calumny and detraction; that I may abhor deceit, and avoid lying, envy and fraud, flattery, hatred, malice and ingratitude—Help me, O God!" The Juno. experience fixed in Franklin the study habit, the health habit, the work habit, and these things made him what he was. What Franklin says in his autobiography about limiting membership in the Junto is interesting: "Our club, the Junto, was found so useful, and afforded such satisfaction to the members, that several were desirous of introducing their friends, which could not well be done without exceeding what we had settled as a convenient number. "The intention was to avoid application of improper persons for admission, some, of whom, perhaps, we might find it difficult to refuse." It was one of those who were against any addition to our number, but, instead of it made in writing a proposal that every member separately should endeavor to form a subordinate club, with the same rules respecting queries, etc., and without informing them of the connection with the Junto. The advantages proposed were: the improvement of so many more young citizens by the use of our institutions; our better acquaintance with the general sentiments of the inhabitants on any occasion, as the Junto member might propose what queries we should desire, and was to report to the Junto what passed in his separate club; the promotion of our particular interests in business by more extensive recommendation and the increase of our influence in public affairs, and our power of doing good by spreading through the several clubs the sentiments of the Junto." When forty-seven, Franklin was chosen a member of the Royal Society of London on account of his scientific researches and discoveries. Later he was elected an honorary member of almost every learned or scientific society in the world. He was printer, business man, inventor, linguist, financier, diplomat, statesman, philosopher. He dled at eighty-four, having lived a very full, active, useful and healthy life. Here is his epitaph, written by himself: The Body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer Lies here food for worms. Yet the work itself shall not be lost, For it will (as he believed) appear Once more In a new And more beautiful edition, Corrected and Amended By the Author. —From the New York American. The Retired Literary Man Lays Down a Rule For Composition. "When in doubt—don't. "That, gentlemen," said the retired literary man to his class of ambitious young literary aspirants, "would be a good maxim for you to hang up over your writing table, its application for you being: "Don't write unless you have something to write. "Unless an idea comes to you with at least some feature of it sharply defined don't try to write it—now; and never, if you can so train and so deny yourselves, mistake a mere fancy for an idea. We have many pleasing fancies that, bright as they may be, are still but seeting, intangible; that will not bear nailing down. Don't waste your time trying to put such fancies into form, for the more you work over them the more you will rend them, till you have left of them but colorless shreds and patches dry and useless, like so many dusty cobwebs, and like cobwebs finally to be brushed away. "We have, I repeat, many pleasant fancies' which will not bear the rude handling involved in transcription, though in passing they may, as gentle showers do the earth, help to make fruitful our mental field. Enjoy them; but let them pass, content thus to enjoy them, and satisfied with such stimulation as they may afford. The idea worth writing and worth writing now, I say again to you, will come to you with at least some feature of it sharply defined; with something about' it that will make to you a direct, living, personal append; it will be something that you awake to and greet with a grateful smile. "Which brings me to say that such ideas may still be but vital fragments, perhaps the striking opening, or maybe the tellicious ending of a story; or it may be that there come to you both at once; and happy you well may be if so your brain provide you. With what inspiration you may now set out, with what auspicious beginning and with what joyous ardor you may now press on to that tellicious ending! This is something worth while; a joy to you, as, let us hope, it may be to your reader. "Or there may come to you, all ally, an idea that may be vital and yet be out a fragment and even as such complete, not bringing with it any soheme or clear clue. Don't rudely wrestle with this. Treasure it, but put it away, store it in your mind to take root and there to grow. It will attract other ideas to it, gradually but surely it will form, and then some day and suddenly perhaps it will say: "Now write me!" "And as you write you may—and with what profound satisfaction!—in the story's foliage discern some of those pleasing fancies that once had charmed you now come back to you, serving now in their only true function, to adorn."—New York Sun. Missed His Calling. "It is always a delight to tour with Eddie Foy," says an actor. "Once in the town of Keokuk, Iowa, Foy and I went into a barber's to get shaved. When the barber got through with him Foy applied his handkerchief to his face and said: 'Young man, you have missed your vocation. You ought to be an oyster opener.'" It has been shown by a physician who has made a study of the effects of roter skating that excessive indulgence in this sport frequently results in flat feet, defective development of the leg muscles and impairment of the gait and carriage of the body.

Nothing so Funny. There is nothing on earth so mysteriously funny as a newspaper advertisement. The prime, first, fast and all the time object of advertisement is to draw custom. It is not, was not and never will be designed for any, other human purpose. So the merchant waits till the busy season comes and his store is so full of custom that he can't get his hat off, and then he rushes to the newspapers and puts in his advertisement. When the dull season gets along and there is no trade and he wants to sell goods so bad he can't pay his rent he takes out the advertisement. That is, some of them do, but occasionally a level headed merchant puts in a bigger one and scoops in all the business while his neighbors are making mortgages to pay the gas bill. Doubling His Joy. Her Father—"Yesterday I won the prize in the lottery, and to-day you come and ask me for my daughter's hand." Sultor—"Yes, you know, one bit of good Inck always brings another." "Why, is old Titwed so afraid of death?" "His son is so extravagant that 'the old man is afraid he will bury him in a thousand-dollar coffin." Season of Humility. It is necessary, that one should sometimes forget that he is a superior, and to remember that he is a brother—Bishop Wilson. GOOD ROAD IDEA GAINS FAVOR. Movement Making Progress All Over the Country. Never before in the history of this country has there been such widespread interest in and practical activity for good roads as is the case at the present time. The good roads conventions that have been held during the past year have been remarkable, not only in number, but in the results accomplished. In the South sentiment for improved highways has crystallized into definite action, in most cases being led by the Governors and leading State officials. Many miles of new roads are now about to be built, hundreds of miles are already under improvement and substantial appropriations have been voted by scores of counties and townships. Conventions have been held in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Georgia; on the Pacific coast, Seattle had the first conference of road builders, the American Road Makers' Association held its sixth annual meeting in Columbus, Ohio; Cleveland was the scene of the second annual National good roads convention which originated the previous year in a big meeting in Buffalo and was ably supported by the National Grange, United State Office of Public Roads, farmers' clubs of the country and every other body actively at work in the good roads movement. It has been n year of good roads' conventions and the meetings already planned for the coming year indicate that the agitation for good roads will reach a higher standard of efficiency in 1910 than ever before. The much maligned automobile has played an important part in the movement for serviceable highways. Once regarded as the enemy of roads and in some measure of mankind, the benefits of the motor vehicle are now acknowledged as of inestimable value. If the automobile aroused discussion and criticism by destroying the roads considered good enough for the last generation, it is now widely recognized as the forerunner of better roads. It has forced the road builders and engineers to deal with new problems, the old system of construction has been revolutionized and the methods of proper maintenance are being studied with more care. George C. Dleih, chairman of the good roads board of the American Automobile Association, spoke very truly when he said at one of the recent conventions: "A great deal has been said about automobiles ruining the roads. Automobiles do disintegrate the water-bound roads. But the interesting fact is that automobiles have come to stay. It is only a question of time when the automobile will be used in hauling farm products. Then when we have arrived at the question of proper road construction we can say that the automobile not only solves the problem of rapid travel but has also solved the problem of road maintenance." As a contrast to the automobilists' point of view of it it is interesting to see the farmers' attitude of the present day. The time was, and not so very long ago, when the farmer and the motorist were supposed to be at cross purposes. To a large extent they were, but that is now ancient history. T. C. Laylin, master of the Ohio State Grange, voiced very forbly the point of view of the agriculturist on this question at the convention in Cleveland by saying: "Although the question of road improvement is of direct interest to the residents of our towns and cities it is and always must be one of prime importance to the farmer. By far the greater mileage of our roads is located in the farming districts, and the chief use of these roads is by the farmers in getting their produce to market and for social intercourse with their neighbors. While we join with our friends, the owners of automobiles, in the discussion of plans for advancing the good roads movement, we of the Ohio State Grange believe that in spite of all that is said or done this will remain a farmers' question and, to be settled rightly must be settled in accordance with the wishes of the farmers." As the farmers in the Western States are becoming enthusiastic automobile owners, realizing the benefits of the motor vehicle for purposes of economy, pleasure and business, they are virtually looking on the good roads problem in the same light as the motorists. With these two widely separated classes of the country working in harmony great changes for the National good are certain to result. In mileage the United States has the greatest system of roads which any country has possessed since the world began. According to a careful road census, the length of all our roads amounts to 2,155,000 miles. The annual expenditure on these roads is approximately $90,000,000. Road administration has been placed on a practical basis in about half the States of the Union, comprising the New England States, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, California and Washington. These have adopted in principle or practice the system of centralizing under a State highway department the road work of the State, thereby securing uniformity in methods, economy in administration and skill in supervision. Uses Animals Make of Tails Horses, cows and other creatures use their tails as a fly flappers. Cats, squirrels and many more twist them around their necks for computers. The rat has raised the use of the tail to a fine art, for by its means it guides the blind and steals jelly, oil and cream out of jars and bottles. The macaco plays as merrily with its tail as a kitten does, and the marmoset while it sleeps uses its tail as a sort of blanket. The raccoon catches crabs with its tail. Every one knows, how the monkeys journey through pathless forests by swinging from tree to tree, while the fishes steer their way through the water by their tail fins. The ant eater puts up its big bushy tail for an umbrella. The vanity of the peacock is fed by the beauty of its tail—Dumb Animals.

Women's Looks in Business An attractive, slender figure, a bright, healthy appearance, an alert bearing and graceful case of movement—these are beauties and personal advantages which women in business do well to cultivate and serve. They are often a passport to success when applying for a position, while the young woman with a clumsy figure, sallow complexion, and slow movements has a much smaller chance. There is also the question of health. Stout persons, as a child are more inclined to the common elements of everyday life than those who are slim and "on the more" of obesity, a disease in itself, or others in its train. Plumpness is often very charming. It is when the plumpness turns into real, undeniable fatness that there is cause for concern. Neglected fatness will result in chronic obesity, then the result.

It has always seemed a most extraordinary thing that the land between the Tigris and the Euphrates, which was the seat of the greatest empires of the ancient world, and which shared with the Nile Valley the distinction of being the richest corn-growing land, should have for so many centuries laid desolate and waste. But the natural richness of the soil is not the only factor in the fertility of the land. Even more than Egypt it was dependent on careful and scientific irrigation, and in the days of the great sovereigns of Babylon the canals were most strictly and jealously guarded. But when the ancient empires finally fell the canals and irrigation works were neglected and left uncared for, with the result that in a few years' time the sand of the desert and the weeds choked up the waterways, and the land relapsed into desolation. But the new ministry at Constantinople has awakened to the importance of the matter, and Sir William Willcocks, the famous engineer, who wrote a most valuable monograph on the Babylonian canals a few years ago, has been intrusted with the work. The total cost of the work on the Euphrates is estimated at a quarter of a million of Turkish pounds, of which £100,000 will be spent in the first year. For such an absurdly small sum can the desert be once more turned into fertile land.—London Globe. The memory of a friend's good deed is 35 lasting as the purest gem. WHAT'S THE USE Sticking to a Habit When It Means Discomfort? Old King Coffee knocks subjects out tolerably flat at times, and there is no possible doubt of what did it. A Mich. woman gives her experience: "I used to have liver trouble nearly all of the time and took medicine which relieved me only for a little while. Then every once in a while I would be suddenly doubled up with an awful agony in my stomach. It seemed as though every time I took a breath I would die. No one could suffer any more and live. Finally I got down so sick with tarrh of the stomach that I could not turn over in bed, and my stomach did not digest even milk. The doctor finally told me that if I did not give up drinking coffee I would surely die, but I felt I could not give it up. "However, Husband brought home a package of Postum and it was made strictly according to directions. It was the only thing that would stay on my stomach, and I soon got so I liked it very much. "Gradually I began to get better, and week, by week gained in strength and health. Now I am in perfect condition, and I am convinced that the whole cause of my trouble was coffee drinking, and my getting better was due to leaving off coffee and faking Postum. "A short time ago I tasted some coffee and found, to my astonishment, that I did not care anything about it. I never have to take medicine any more. I hope, you will use this letter for the benefit of those suffering from the poisonous effects of coffee." "Read the little book, 'The Road to Wellville,' in pkgs. 'There's a Reason." Good Things to Eat AND HOW TO PREPARE THEM Ham Sandwich. The secret of the delicious ham sandwiches served at an afternoon tea last week was in the cooking of the ham and the abundance of mayonnaise used in mixing the meat. The ham had been broiled until it was brown and then ground very fine and mixed plentifully with mayonnaise. The meat may be cooked in the oven, a thin slice being allowed to bake until it is well browned, or the meat may be fried. There is a more definite flavor about ham cooked in any of these ways than there is if it is bolled.—New York Sun. Vegetable Scallop. Butter a deep granite or earthen dish; put a layer of thinly sliced onion in the bottom, then of thinly sliced potatoes, then layer of sliced tomatoes; season with salt, pepper and butter, a large tablespoon sugar, then layer of dried bread crumbs, rolled fine. Repeat the process and cover with bread crumbs; pour over a teacup of water and put in oven; add water while cooking if needed; it should be of the consistency of scalloped tomatoes when done and will require one and one-half hours to cook. Very nice with fish or roast meat.—Boston Post. Snow Drift. One pint milk, butter size of an English walnut, one-half cup sugar, two and a half dessert spoonfuls of corn starch (moistened with a little milk), whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth, one teaspoon vanilla; put the milk into double boiler, add the sugar, then the butter; let come to a boiling point, then add the corn starch, let it thicken up, then take from fire and add the vanilla and the stiffy beaten whites of eggs; beat hard for a minute or two, then set the dish in the hot water again for one minute; then remove and pour into moulds and put on ice or serve with cream and sugar.—Boston Post. Broiled Chicken. It requires a very, clear fire for broiling chicken, and even with much care they are apt to scorch more or less; so to make the work easier and overcome all difficulty they may be partially cooked in the oven. Order the chicken dressed for broiling at the market, and wipe with a cheesecloth wrung out of cold water. Place in a buttered dripping pan, skin side down; sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot over with bits of butter; bake in a hot oven fifteen minutes. Remove to a hot, well greased broiler and broil over a clear fire ten minutes, turning the broiler frequently that all parts may be broiled evenly. Arrange on a hot platter, spread with butter; sprinkle with salt and garnish with parsley.—Boston Post. Corn Chowder. To make the chowder, cold cooked ears of corn may be utilized. Grate or cut from the cob enough to make a quart of corn. Cut into small pieces one-half pound bacon or fat salt pork, and cook in a frying pan until brown. Just before it reaches this stedge add a medium-sized onion minced fine and brown also. Put into a stew pan a layer of diced potatoes, sprinkle over some of the browned onion and bacon, then a layer of cut corn, with salt and pepper to season. Next, add another layer of potatoes, more bacon, onion and corn and so on until all the material has been used, having corn at the top. It will require about four or five potatoes, dependent upon size. Add a cup and three-quarters of boiling water, cover the pot and cook gently for thirty minutes. Make a cream sauce, using two tablespoons of each of butter and flour and two cups of hot milk. When cooked smooth and thick, add to the kettle of chowder, a few crackers broken and stirred in at the last, and a tablespoonful of minced parsley. Serve hot.—Washington Star. ROUND ABOUT THE HOUSE A running or darning stitch is the best for padding small spaces in French or satin stitch embroideries. A lovely centrepiece of fine linen was beautifully decorated with white and blue cords, in a conventional design. Chinese, Indian and Bulgarian embroideries are favorites for all kinds of bags, card cases and veil and handkerchief cases. It is better to use light blue transfer paper for tracing embroidery designs than the dark colors, as these are apt to rub off and soil the article. A linen or denim shoe bag, with one Japanese motif of simple though striking design on each pocket, is a useful and attractive gift for a man. Practical and attractive lamp mats are made of linen in gray or the natural color embroidered in shades that harmonize with the furnishing of the room. To pad a wide edge for a button-holted scallop, go over the outline with a row of catstitch or with the loose chain stitch. This saves many stitches of padding and serves the same purpose. To cook a pumpkin easily halve it, remove the seeds and bake in oven. When tender scoop pumpkin out with a spoon and rub through a colander. Scorching is prevented and time-saved by this method.

Clyde, Ky.—"I can safely recommend Cardui, the woman's tonic, to any lady who is in need of medicine," writes Mrs. I. A. Decker, of this place. "It has been very beneficial to me and I can say that there is nothing like it for weak women. "For five years I was not able to do my work. Half of my time I spent in bed. I suffered with female weakness and took such nervous spells I could not stand on my feet. I suffered with my back and side, and fell off till I became a skeleton. "At last I took Cardui and now I am well and happy and can do my own work." Cardui is prepared from the natural plant, not from mineral, synthetic compounds, and contains no coal tar products or other results of laboratory experiments. The Cardui ingredients are imported at great expense directly from abroad and have been used for nearly half a century in the manufacture of this famous tonic medicine for women. Safe, reliable, prompt, yet gentle in action by preventing unnecessary pain and building up strength. Cardui has shown itself a necessary remedy for weak women. Try it. N.

"That lost and found property department at Scotland Yard is one of the best things they have in London," said a woman, who has spent much time in England. "Last summer I had experience with it. "I fell into a sort of habit of losing things. First it was a valuable umbrella. I did not miss it until I got to my hotel after an after the theatre supper. The next morning I made my husband take me to the theatre and the two restaurants where we had been the night before, but without result. "Then an American friend suggested Scotland Yard. I went there, and there it was. It had been turned in by a cab driver." "Twice afterward I lost my umbrella, and got it back in the same fashion, each time leaving as a reward for the cab driver a per cent, of the value of the umbrella, as required. Then I lost a fine 'pair of opera glasses and I got them back. "It is an excellent system the police over there have of encouraging honesty. A cab driver who finds anything in his vehicle is required to turn it in, and he knows that if the owner claims it he will be rewarded." —New York Sun. Tiny Baby's Pitiful Case. "Our baby when two months old was suffering with terrible eczema from head to foot, all over her body. The baby looked just like a skinned rabbit. We were unable to put clothes on her. At first it seemed to be a few mattered pimples. They would break the skin and peel off, leaving the underneath skin red as though it were scalds. Then a few more pimples would appear and spread all over the body, leaving the baby all raw without skin from head to foot. On top of her head there appeared a heavy scab a quarter of an inch thick. It was awful to see so small a baby look as she did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid to put his hands to the child. We tried several doctors' remedies but all failed. "Then we decided to try Cuticura. By using the Cuticura Ointment we softened the scab and it came off. Under this, where the real matter was, by washing with the Cuticura Soap and applying the Cuticura Ointment, a new skin soon appeared. We also gave baby four drops of the Cuticura Resolvent three times daily. After three days you could see the baby gaining a little skin which would peel off and heal underneath. Now the baby is four months old. She is a fine picture of a fat little baby and all is well. We only used one cake of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. If people would know what Cuticura is there would be few soothing with eczema.

If she felt that she had to play with fire-arms, she should have kept to Flobert rifles. Nothing would do, however,-but that she must*learn to shoot a carbine, and the result was that the whole post rose up and cut Burton to a maan; so that there was no peace for * nfm any longer in that regiment, and ‘the had to seek transfer to another. “There were other results, also, But they come further on. “Some thought that whit Miss HMivart did was done on purpose, and -some thought that it wes a plece of idiotic silliness. The latter based their argument upon the general. ‘rivolousness of her ways, and upon the {nnocency of her round, blue eyes. The former held to the bellet that ‘Miss Mivart was one of those women favorites of Fortune who look greater fools than they are. They sald, with a certain show of reason, that Geor- zis Mivart was a child of the service and not an importation from civil Ufe. She had been born in a garrison and had played with rows of empty, sSreen-rimmed cartridge shells at an sage when most Httle girls play with spaper -dolls. She had hummed anatches of the bugle calls before she veguld talk, and the person she had| -admired the most and obeyed the best dor the first dozen years of her lite fad been Kreutzor, Captain Mivart’s tow-headed striker. A few years of boarding school back East could not -have obliterated ail that. « Besides, the verlest civilian, who "kas never come nearer to a carbine ~than to watch a Fourth of July militia vparade, might reasonably be expected ito know by intuition that in a target “practice competition every trigger has got to pull just so hard, whatever the regulation number or fraction of pounds may be. Otherwise it is plain that the nearer you come to a hair- trigger the better your alm will be. * Wowever, whether Miss Mivart was “fully aware ot what she was doing, mobody ever knew, unless perhaps it was Greville—and he, like Zuleika, never told. But Burton had a bad time of ft, and all his beautiful score ent for worse than nothing at all. f “hat, though, was the end. And ‘the beginning ought to come first. ‘The beginning was when Miss Mivart cundertook to learn to shoot a carbine. ‘There was a target practice compe- aition going on at the post; not one rwhich is of any interest to the service, sor even to the department at large; ‘Just a little local affair, devised to ikeep up the spirits of the troops and ~to lighten the monotony of lifé. “There were three contests, one for troops and companies, as such; one ator individual privates, and one for ‘the officers. This last was to finish -off, and then there was to be a big sop. a Every one knew from the first, -when Burton and Greville shot with ‘their troops, that the officers’ com- .petition would Ie between them. This made {t interesting in more ways than -one, because the rivalry was,not con- fined to the target range, but extend- -ed to the winning of Miss Mivart’s sband and heart, and every one be- ‘Meved that this would settle a matter -zhe did not appear to be able to settle ‘for herself. Not that she was to ‘diame for that. Any one, even a per- son much more certain of her own mind than Miss Mivart was, would ‘thave been put to St to choose, {They were both first Ieutenants, and both cavalrymen, and both good to look upon.

The adjutant felt that he had been unkind. He hastened to assure her that it was ‘not—not dishonest in the least; only that it took away from the excitément of the thing to a certain extent, Miss Mivart smiled and shook her head, No, she didn't think that it did, be- cause, of course, she knew which one she wanted to have win, Thelad{u- tant admitted that that might Poss!- bly be just as interesting for herself and the fortunate man.

She had .her own ideas about fair play. | “E can shoot 2 carbine myself,” she told the adjutant, with her cleft chin proudly raised; “and my shoulder is fall black and ‘blue. Mr, Burton ts teaching me.” | “Oh!” sald the adjutant, “and what does Greville think about that?” The adjutant vas tharried, so he was out of the running. _ “Mr. Greville {s teaching me, too;” said Georgia; “and here he comes for menow.” A Burton was safe on the target range, over behind the barracks. Miss Mivart and Greville went inthe other direction, by the back of the officers’ row, over in the foothills across the creek. Greville natled the top of a big red pasteboard box to the trank of a tree, and Miss Mivart hit it once out of ‘Sixteen times—when she was aiming’at the head of a prairlé dog at least twenty feet away to tho right. ‘The other fifteen shgts were scattered among the foothilis. .. Then her shoulder hurt her so that she was ready to cry. Greville would have likéd to have her cry pon ints own shoulder, but, as she didn’t, he did some fancy. shooting to distract her. He found a mushroom can, and threw it Into the air and filled it full of holes. She had seen Burion do the same thing that morning with a-to- mato Can. In fact, fr6m where she sat now, on & Iichen-covered rock, she could see the matilated-cfn slijering in the sun, over beyond’ the frroyo. So sho thirsted for fresher sensations. 2 ee eae ee ee Greville, ps: he-heldup” tus mushrooin, can{tfor tey.£6° inspect-the elght- goles,he bad § made with five shots; “let me -tass up your hat, and you make a hole through the trademark in the crown.” It was a nice, new straw hat. Gre. ville had sent Hast for it and tt had come by stage the dfy before. It had cost him, express. pald, tour dollar: and seventy-five cetits. This, too, a! a time when anything he had left after settling his mess and" sutler’s and tailor’s bills, went into stick pins and candy and books and/music and riding whips for Miss,Mivart. But he took off the hat and gave ft to her without a lingering glance at that high-priced thademark within. And jhe felt’that it was worth four times four dollars and seventy-five cents when,sha picked up the tattered re- mains, at last, and asked if she might have them to hang fn her room. ‘Then she looked down at her grimy hand atid considered the first finger, erooking {yopen and shat. “I think it’s going to swell,” she pouted. “That {s a perfectly awful trigger to pull.” Greville did what any man might have been expected to do, He caught the hand and kissed it. Miss Mivart Jooked absolutely unconscious “of it. She might have been ten miles away herself. Greville, therefore, thought that she was angry, and his heart was filled with contrition. Yet he was old and wise enough to be a first Ieu- tenant, He walked beside her back to the post in a state of humble dejec- tion she could not understand, ‘The next mornifg ‘it was Burton’s turn. Greville was over on tho range ‘now, vainly trying to bring his record .up to where Burton’s was, This time Miss Mivart fired at a white paste- board box cover, and hit {t three times out of twenty. She was jubilant and so was Burton, because she was mak- ing such progress under his tuition. “That's an easy carbine to shoot, isn’t {t?” she asked, as they wandered home; “it isn’t at all hard to pull the trigger.” | Burton glanced at her, and she met his eyes snnacently. “It's just like day other trigger,” he told her. “Yes, of course. And Is that the very same carbine you use in the com- petition—the one you shot with yes- terday, and will use this afternoon when you finish up?” He told her that it was, egg “Well,” she said complacently, “I think I’m doing very nicely, don't you? I hit the target three times, and my first finger doesn’t hurt a bit —this morning.” That afternoon the competition came to an end, with Button a good many points ahead of Greville. And that night there was the blg hop. It had been understood from the first that the man who won was to take Miss Mivart to the hop. So she went over with Burton, and gave him one- third of-her dances. Greville had an- other third, and the rest were open to the post at large. Greville did not look happy at all. Tt was not the target record he minded. He never thought about that. It was having to go down the board walk to the' hop room behind Burton, and to watch Miss ‘Mivart leaning on his arm, and fooking up into his face from under the white mists of her laco hood. He‘ was not consoled at all when she looked up into his own faco-even more sweetly at the beginning, of the second dance, ana whispered that she was “20 sorry.” Now, as the second danceshad been Greville's, the third was Burton's. ‘That was the way it had been ar- ranged.

Also he can build towers more than two hundred times his own height, But strip him of his machines and ma- chine made instruments and he com- pares rather poorly, in the matter of physical achievements and capabill- ties, with certain of the lower an- imais. . Consider, for instance, man's sprinting or running powers. His best speed for a mile is some four minutes twelve and three-quarter seconds, which gives a total of about fourteen miles an hour. The gray wolf lopes-along at an easy twenty, and thinks nothing of doing siity miles in a night. The hunted fox has been timed to run two miles ata speed of twenty-six miles an hour. A race horse at full speed travels at thirty-two miles an hour, while" greyhound, which fs, so far as 1s known, the swiftest of.all four-legged creatures, runs thirty-four miles an hour. Man also falls behind fn jumping. Roughly speaking, six feet in hetght and twenty-thrée in width are the Umits of man’s achievements in this Une. A red deer has been known to clear a wall ten feet high, the cham- ols can do at least a foot better, while the springbok of South Africa wil shoot ten feet up in the air just for the fun of tha thing. Some of the beasts of prey,are even more wonderful fn their athletic achlevements. The black Jaguar, for example, can reach a branch fourteen feet from tNe ground. The greatest jumper in the world is the kangaroo, he sort known as the ‘old man” has been seen to clear deadwood fences ten to twelve feet high, while it can leap with ease‘a wlath of fifty to sixty feet. ‘The rec- ord width cleared by a horse is about thirty-seven feet, while the ostrich in running clears twenty-five feet at a stride.—Harper’s Weekly.
