The minister was nice fellow, and !

minister was entertaining, his quarters

After supper the minister had to 20 to

After there had been some praying done
and a hymn had been sung, the minister
rose and looking at me said:
eve will now ask Brother -" mean
ing me, ito lead in prayer"
/ thought mighty quick for about ten
seconds; my thinking fywheel flew
around. 1t was a question of policy was
debating in that interval. Then said:
"For reason which l shall be very glad
to explain after the meeting is over,
must beg to be excused from leading the
prayers"
The pastor accepted my Geclination
gracefully and called upon somebody else.
After the meeting was over went up to
the minister and said:
1.-THE reason did not accept your kind
invitation to lead in prayer was that
was afraid my motives might be misun-
derstood. You see, my business is to OBJ
tain subscriptions for a certain religious
paper. If had led in prayer some men,
bers of your congregation would have
been sure to have suspected me of trying
to advertise my papers in church. Neither
nor my employers would tolerate sucha
suspicion for moment"
The minister was profuse in his praise
of my straightforward methods. think
he must have said something about the
matter to his congregation, for, with
hardly an exception they subscribed for
the paper.

ONE CAUSE OF BAD TEETH.
Their Strength Determined by the u
Made of Them.

Their Strength Determined by the Use
Made of Them.
The foundation for bad teeth is gener-
ally laid in early childhood; for number
less mothers and nurses very carefully
soften the food or remove the crust from
the bread before giving it to the little
folks, because 1t may otherwise "hurt
their teeth" and so the child grows up
with a set of unused organs in its mouth;
and when we have finally succeeded by
the creation of artificial conditions in
producing weak organs, then we wonder
why the poor child has such bad teeth,
and why it is so often suffering with the
toothache, and why the dentists bill is SO
high.
Teeth are organs specialized to perform
the work of mastication; they are subject
to the same laws that govern other or
gans, and their strength is determined by
their use.
Understanding this, we are obliged to
admit that, if we ever become a toothless
race, it will be our own fault.-Popular
Science Monthly.

Where Cashmere Shawls Come fl

Cashmere shawls were first imported
into England in 1906. All attempts to man
ufacture shawls in Europe Of similar ex-
cellence to those made in the valley of
Cashmere, in the northwest of India, had
proved a failure, although the French had
succeeded in making very excellent imi-
tations.
The secret seems to be that the CASH
merians use only certain parts of the win
ter fleece OF the yak and Cashmere goat,
which inhabit regions in the mountains
1900 to 10000 feet high. All attempts
also to naturalize the Cashmere goat
prove unavsiling.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

ranges, whose SUBMITS are hun
dred miles apart, enframe the val

glaciers breathe GOODNESS into the

Rarely is the heat or cold oppressive

20 degrees below zero more trying
cold than zero there. To these
marks the mercury very seldom
rises or falls. So, taking it all in all
it does not appear strange that the
people of this valley boast of nearly
as much climate" to the square
mile as those of southern California.
Since the list of October l have
been constantly travelling in this
valley between Huntington, at its
lower end, and Haley, near the

has it been uncomfortable to travel

BY the time the Blue mountains
have wrung them there is very lit
tie of moisture left to fall on the
great valley of Snake river. Hence
the moisture precipitated between
the Blue and Rocky mountains is
remarkably little. There are no
great bodies of water east of the
Cascades to supply by evaporation
what the winds have lost on the
westward SUBMITS. Hence, so far
as cloudless days and months are
concerned, it is doubtful if there is
a region in America that can count
more of them in a year than this.
1t is almost perpetual sunshine.
But this is only one of the con-
ditions of climate. The altitude
and latitude of this valley are both
factors that may not be forgotten.
The center of the valley is 5000 feet
above the sea, and it is under the
45th degree of north latitude. These
facts, without modifying conditions,
would give this region a rigorous
climate. 1t would be vigorously
cold in winter and vigorously hot in
simmer. But the modifying con-
ditions exist, and SO in fact it is
neither. A great river meanders
midway of the valley for 500 miles,
and large tributaries fresh from icy
fountains in the mountains pour
crystalline floods athwart the plains
