The American Wool Reporter sees the
solution of the deserted farm problem
in the raising of sheep. 'Many of these
deserted farms, it says, lean be bought at
from 81 to SIS per acre, and there are clus-
tiers of them where 1000 or more acres can
be secured in body. These farms can
be stocked with grade Shropshires and
Southdowns costing from - to ~ per
head, but these breeds should not run in
focks of more than 30 to 40 head each.
We have recommended Shropshires and
Southdowns because of their superior NUT
ton qualities, and because they are hardy
and early to develop. The Hampshiredown
will also please, perhaps equally well, and
furnish most toothsome mutton. The New
England mutton raiser is not only favored
with sweet feed among the limestone and
granite lodges and in the green valley of
his domain, but is also additionally favored
by close proximity to the best markets in
the country, where early lambs need never
to hunt a buyer and where prices for prime
mutton are always good.

The newest authors are the oldest. In
Familiar Quotations, we have lot of ia
miliar sayings traced away back to
Greece and Egypt. A new author, Pilpay,
figures in this edition. He was Brah-
min and lived several centuries before
Christ Writing in some early dialect of
Sanscrt, he deliberately, and with the
most horrible heather depravity, stole
some of the best sayings of Herrick,
Shakespeare, Butler, Cibber and others.
He was bold enough to appropriate such
modern sayings as ''What is bred in the
bone will never come ont of the flesh )
''Possession is the strongest tenure of the
law" and so on. Hesiod, who wrote in
the seventh century before Christ, was
another of those antique plagiarists. The
ognis, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides,
Plautus, Terence and many others were
great suppliers of modern familiar quota
tions. Every time you say "hence these
tears" ''the flower of youth, "'I do not
care one straw, "''with presence of mind -
or any one of several other things equal
ly familiar, you are simply quoting Ter
ence, who died 159 years before Christ.
All the way through, he is as modern as

AT the marriage of Miss Angie, daugh-
ter of Michael Carroll of the Glen to John

celebrated high mass. The bride was ac-
companed to the altar by her sister,
Miss Rose, as bridesmaid and Patrick
Scanlon was best man. The bride was
attired iii Il gewn of serpent green, cut
Princess style and trimmed with Chiffon
lace, set off by IA corsage bouquet of yell
low rose buds. The bridesmaid was
dressed in suit of similar material,
trimmed with Vedora lace and wore
bouquet Of pink rose buds. After the
ceremony, the bridal party repaired to
the home of the bride and house full
of friends of both bride and groom pass
ed the hours in social pleasure and in
dancing to music furnished by Bliss.
About z, bridal dinner was served to
relatives and intimate friends; later, a
bounriful table was spread for the merry
makers who came to tender their con-
CALCULATIONS and joined the festivities of
the night. The tables presented an in
viting appearance, bouquets of flowers,
delicacies of all sorts and, last bnt not
least, the huge BRIDES loaf, surmounted
by marriage bell. The young couple
are to occupy the new house recently
built close by that of the BRIDES father
and presents sufficient to nearly furnish
it were received by the bride. The BEE

Christian Indians.

Sunday, Joined the Christian Indians
in two services held in their little mission
church, which is perched on the summit
of Blackbird hill. The church was built
at cost of about $500, part of the
amount being contributed by the Indians
themselves. 1t is a pretty little building,
with seating capacity of about 200, fin
ished in hard wood, with stained glass
windows and good parlor organ, which
is usually played by one of the govern
ment employees. The church has men,
bership of about 100 Indians. Probably,
as with our eastern churches, few goats
have skipped into the lambs fold, but as
a rule the members are earnest, consci-
entious Christian men and women. At
morning service, the audience number
ed about 70. The sermon was preached
by the Presbyterian missionary in charge
and interpreted sentence by sentence by
one of the Indians. The singing was ex-
ceptionally good. The final prayer was
made Gin the Omaha language) by one of
the Indian elders and another elder pass
ed the contribution plate. The evening
service was young peoples meeting and
was entirely in charge of the Indians
themselves. AS at the morning service,
Indian mothers. with babes strapped to
their backs, slipped noiselessly into seats
on one side of the church, while almost
without exception the men sat upon the
opposite side. Again | was surprised by
the really fine singing. The service was
conducted by DIR LaFlesche, who gave
out the hymns, called upon this or that
one for remarks or prayers and, but for
the strange language and the dark faces
all about me, could easily have fancied
myself at young peoples meeting in my
own church at home. One woman, with
an earnest, strongly marked face, spoke
for or 10 minutes, her remarks inter-
preted for the benefit of the two or three
white persons present. She began by
saying that she was only poor, ignor-
ant Indian, but for 10 years she had low

she knew he must be the true God, be-

The administration of the Lords sun

The administration of the Lords sup
per at Surgeons Tabernacle was a
memorable sight. On large oblong
table were SO plates of bread and about
so cups of wine, the silver service pre-
senting beautiful appearance by gas
light. AS far as practical he follows the
biblical narrative in the exercises and in
the distribution of the emblems. The
ceremony is properly observed in the
evening. The bread is broken, not cut
into cubes, rs is quite common in Amer
lea at least. Prayer is offered, thanks
are given and hymn sung, as suggest
ed by the New Testament account. He
gave the emblems to II deacons, repre-
senting the 10 apostles, who give to the
multitude. The tabernacle will hold

more, remained at the after services to
