A COUNCIL TO BE CALLED.

A council is to be called TO settle GER
tain matters of difference in the Bap-
tist church of Alma, between the past
or, Rev. Geo, ID. Kaufman, and por-
tion of the members and late members
of the church. And also to take into
consideration various matters of action
of the church under the advice and in
fluence Of the pastor and leading dea-
con of the church. which action is al
legged, by the complaining members to
be without authority and III direct vio-
lation of the scriptures, of the rules and
practices of regular Baptist churches;
and as to some of the proceedings, in
violation of the statutes of the State.
The matters complained of are, doc
trines preached by and practices of the
pastor, in the church; his claims to be
completely sactilied and led in all that
he does by divine influence; his conduct
as minister and man both in and
out of the church; tyranny and oppres-
sive conduct of the pastor and the dea-
con in business matters where members
differ with them; in dealing with and
turning out of the church members by
the dozen, without proper notice, in the
absence of some, giving them no oppor-
tunity to be heard, and for no recogniz-
ed sufficient cause to commence with.
Some of the persons subjected to this
treatment having been in the Baptist
church %, 30 and even As wears, and de-
sire to remain there. And as to some
no word of reproach ever having been
uttered, or being known to exist,
against their moral or christian charac-
ter and consistent walk with the church.
1t is complained that ten or eleven
members were turned out on Saturday
last without any formal or definite
charge against them, some making
demand in writing and handing the de-
mand to the clerk, that charges be
made in writing against them, which
demand was treated with contempt, be-
ing flung away by the clerk under the
eye of the pastor as presiding officer of
the meeting, and soon the members
were voted out. The ground of
proceeding against the ten or eleven
seemed to be simply because they had
signed respectful request to the pas
tor, asking him to resign his pastorate
here. Some of the persons turned out
were absent and had no notice of
the time and place of their trial.
The editor of this paper would simply
say that the above are some of the
claims of those who have taken the
steps to call the council.

at Is astonishing how many little
bits of practical scientific knowledge a
yOungster picks up when he is learn
ing his trade" said a workman in a
general repair shop on Third avenue to
a New York reporter. "For instance,
he continued, "mOst people think the
only waSy to make a hole in glass is to
break it or cut it with a diamond, but
it isn't. There are two or three ways
of doing it. The neatest, to my mind.
is to warm the glass and spread it over
with wax Cut the wax down to the
place where you want the hole and
drop a little fluOric acid on the glass
with a piece of wire. The acid viii
eat through the glass, and you can
shape the hole afterward with a copper
wire and some rotten stone and oil.
"The handy man in a shop viii make
many of his own tools. A whalebOne
bow is often necessary in using a fine
saw, but many people don't know how
to handle whalebOne. If it is too
stiff, or unequally stiff, it can be
scraped down easily with a bit of
broken glass. These bows usually
have brass hooks at the end, but you
can make a hook out of the whalebOne
itself by holding the end IN boiling
oil a short time and bending it around
and holding it until it Is cool.
Sometimes I have had to make holes
in steel that was too hard to cut or file
easily. Then L make a mixture that
viii eat the hole. L mix one ounce of
sulphate of copper, quarter of an
ounce of alum, half a teaspOonful of
powdered salt, a gill of vinegar, and
twenty drops of nitric acid. This viii
make the hole, or, if washed off
quickly, it viii give a beautiful frosted
appearance to the metal"

Even a funeral Is comparatively dull
without the military band and the four

where these respondent cOrteges of
woe are daily occurrences are cheerful
cities The brass band itself, when we
consider 1t philosophically, is one Of
themost striking things IN our civiliza-
ton. We admire its commonly splen-
did clothes, its drums and cymbals and
braying brass, but it is the impartial
spirit with which it lends itself to our
varying wants that distinguishes it. 1t
will not do to say that it has no prin-
ciples, for nobody has so many, or is
so impartial In exercising them. 1t is
equally ready to play at a festival or
funeral, picnic or an encampment, for
the sons of war or the sons of temper

CaIigula's Gratitude and Mercy.

Quintus Curtius Elaccus having had
the misfortune in the heat of a politi-
cal campaign to offend the Emperor,
CaliguIa ordered him to be thrown into
a caldron of boiling lead A few days
before the execution was to take
place, Flaccus sent a Ictor to the En-
peror with a note, in which he asked
the Emperor if he remembered the fact
that as a boy Flaccus had saved his
life at the imminent risk of his own, by
eating a poisoned tart intended for the
imperial lunch, and beseeching the En-
peror, if he did remember the episode,
to mitigate the severity of his punish
ment. Caligula was deeply moved as
the remembrance of Flaccus' heroic
self-sacrifice flashed across his mind
and he Immediately issued a decree
providing that gin view of services rem
dered, the sentence OF Quintus Curtius
Flaccus, to wit, that he be boiled in
lead, be and is committed, and that in
lieu of said boiling in lead the said
Quintus Curtius Flaccus shall be
fayed alive and thrown into the sea. "
Rome was so astonished at the unex-
pected clemency of the Emperor that
her historians forgot to record this
one bright page in the annals of the
Cahgulan sway.-JOb7l Henry Bangs,

Miniature Beavers.

A host of creatures besides birds
love the stream. Water hens lead out
their black downy broods beneath the
Overhanging thOrns, and all along the
marge the water voIes are busily gnaw-
ing such of the plants as are of a
sweet saccharine nature. The voIes
are the water rats" of the country
folk, but are harmless and unOfending
creatures, living exclusively on a vege-
table diet. They are, IN fact, NINA
ture beavers. Here and there the
loamy banks have fallen IN, and along
the faces of these the bank swallows
have drilled their retreat. These are
either flying in and out or feeding their
young, which are perched on rails run
ming down to the stream, Ever and
anon there runs out from the bank a
graceful little creature with a long
mobile taper snOut. 1t rummages
among the dead leaves and pebbles at
the bottom of the stream, and then re-
turns to the side with some insect Is

Rank and Divisions of Railroad Work.

-e-A-AA ----N- LEWIS main O--N- " OA'4Au
Says Harry c. Raymond, the noted
railway passenger agent of st. Louis:
"The employees of the railroads are a
world within themselves, having griefs,
ambitions, hopes, and rewards that are
familiar, and yet they are divided into
little worlds of their own. For instance,
a young man entering the clerical de-
partment lives to become a chief clerk,
an auditor, treasurer, or other fiscal Of
fcer. The locomotive fireman becomes
in tin8s an engineer. The freight brake
man expects to become a freight con-
dUctOr, and the freight conductor looks
forward to the day when ne viii run a
passenger train. The passenger brake
man readily becomes a freight cOnduc-
tor. The engineer some day to be
masteE mechanic. The passenger con
duetor may become a master of trans
pOrtatiOn. The switchman develops
into a yardmaster, and then perhaps a
division superintendent. The lines are
broadly drawn. The instances of men
rising from the brakes to the superin-
tendency and presidency Of the road
as did A. A9Talmage, are so few as to
be notable. st. Louis GIObe-DemO-

Why Americans Love to Wear UniFO

1t is fortunate that a passion for dis
play is implanted in human nature
and if we owe a debt of gratitude to
anybody, it is to those who make the
display for US. 1t would be such dull,
colorless world without it. We try in
vain to imagine city without brass
bands, and military marchings, and
professions of societies in regalia, and
banners, and Respondent uniforms,
and gayly caparisOned horses, and men
clad In red and yellow and blue and
gray and gold and silver and feathers,
moving in beautiful lines, proudly
wheeling with step elate upon some re-
spOnsive human being as axis, deplOy-
ing, opening and closing ranks in ex-
quisite precision to the strains of mar
tial music, to the thumP of the drum and
the scream of the fife, going away down
the street with nOdding plumes, heads
erect, the very port of heroism. There
is scarcely anything in the world so in
spring as that And the self-sacrifice
of it What viii not men do and en-
dure to crafty their fellOwsl And in
the heat of summer, too, when most we
need something to cheer us! The
Drawer saw, with feelings that cannot
be explained, a noble company of men,
the pride of their city, all large men,
all fat men, all dressed alike, but each
one as beautiful as anything that can
be seen on the stage, perspiring through
the gala streets of another distant city,
the admiration of crowds of huzzaing
men and women and boys, following
another company as Respondent as
itself, every man bearing himself like a
hero, despising the heat and the dust.
conscious only of doing his duty. We
make a great mistake If we suppose it
is a feeling of ferOcity that sets these
men tramping about in gorgeous uni
form, IN mud or dust, In rain or under
a broiling sun. They have no desire
TO kin anybody. Out of these resplen-
dent clothes they are much like other
people only they have a nObler spirit,
that which leads them to endure hard
ships for the sake of pleasing others
They differ IN degree, though not In
kind, from those orders. for keeping
secrets, or for encouraging a distaste
for strong drink, which also wear
bright and attractive regaha, and go
about In professions, with banners and
music, and pomp that cannot be dis
tinguished at a distance from real war.
1T is very fortunate that men do like to
march about In ranks and lines, even
without any distinguishing apparel
