He Recommends the Reading of News
papers to His Congregation
Rev. w. L. Hammer Sunday night
preached an interesting sermon from
the text. BE ye also enlarged" in
which he made an earnest appeal to his
hearers to enlarge their conception so
as to take a more correct view of all
things boih spiritual and temporal. lie
mentioned many ways by which a man
can enlarge himself and broaden his
views, but the chief and most effectual
way was to educate and read all manner
OF clean literature, especially the news
papers OF the country, and thus keep
posted on all the events of the day.
The preacher also recommended the
reading of standard novels. He dwelt
extensively on the duty of parents ,
educate their children, saying they had
better go in rags and deny themselves
the comforts OF life than to permit their
children to grow up and enter life in
ignorance.

Two Kinds of Pears.

1t is remarkable that although new
fruits come to the front every year there
is not pear yet that has been able to
take the place Of the Bartlett or the
Seckel. The Bartlett is European sort,
originating in England and named there
Williams Bon Curetien. 1t was intro
duced into this country, and its name
getting lost it was named Bartlett, after
the man in whose garden it was when
its excellent qualities were discovered.
The Seckel is a native, a chance seeding,
found growing near the Schuyllxill river,
Philadelphia, and the original tree still
stands and bears fruit.
The Bartlett is in season throughout
September, the Seckel from the close of
September and through October. These
two kinds are no exception to the rule
that the quality Of all pears increases in
value as the trees get older. The fruit
from full grown Seckel pear tree, for
instance, is far superior to that from
tree fruiting for the first time.-Practi-
cal Farmer.

A Chronic Case.

Known, chiefly by correspondence, to
many persons is a certain invalid who
spends her days in studying her "casen
and writing about il. Her letters are
long, fun of unpleasant details and so
burdened with inquiries and requests
that they have 10 be answered at almost
equal length, and most of them are ad-
dressed TO men and women 10 whom
time is precious.
Sometimes the invalid asserts that the
use of typewriter would relieve unfa-
vorable symptoms, and asks hundred
questions about the different machines.
Again, she finds it necessary 20 divert
her mind, and turns TO literature, rely
ing on an author TO tell her what and
how TO write. Then she resolves 10 make
an experiment in treatment, and can
vases by letter for worthless subscrip-
tion book that she may gain the money
to do so.
But always her cease" is directly or
Indirectly the theme of the many closely
written pages. All things past, present

why MIX diners in QUALITY,

Milk is more susceptible to changes
from the normal condition than anv
other food product. The first class Of
changes has been brought about by the
action Of breeders. BY many years Of
attention to breeding for fat production,
it is now possible to get milk which may
be twice as rich as the normal. On the
other hand, other breeders have paid
especial attention to production of large
quantity, even at the expense of quality,
until pure milk is sometimes produced
having as low as 10 per cent. Of solids,
when the normal is 13 per cent.
A second set of causes which influence
the quality Of milk grows out of the ig-
norance or carelessness Of the producer
or seller. Where the persons held the
exploded idea of the value of one cows
milk for children anything in the treat
ment of the COW which affects its nervous
temperament may unfit it for food for
very young children. Uncleanliness or
neglect is often grave source of trouble
IN the handling Of milk, not only on ac-
count Of the possibilities Of the addition
Of visible filth, but because milk is De-
culiarly susceptible to odor, various
kinds Of bacteria and disease germs
Epidemics of scarlet fever and typhoid
fever have been traceable to the milk
supply, unclean cans and other utensils,
and particularly to propagating bacteria.

The most elementary form of the
strangers letter is of course the applica-
tion for an autograph. This application
is now reduced 10 such a system that it
causes little inconvenience and should
not be refused. There is usually sent
with the request a blank card on which
the name is to be written, with an en-
velope stamped and addressed for its re.
turn. Nothing can be more unobtrusive
or mechanical, though the line Of pro-
priety is at once passed, we may say,
where two cards are sent, the second
one being obviously for exchange pur-
poses or perhaps for sale.
The wary author never, suspect,
writes on both cards, since he does not
aim to help out a mere business trans
action. Where any applicant goes far
ther and asks an original letter or copied
passage, the affair becomes more serious,
and some authors and public men ignore
such requests altogether, as being much
more serious consumers OF time.-T. w.
Higginson in Harper's Bazaar.

Absence of Real chiIdren In literature.

Absence Of Real Children In Literature.
The wise mentors in conventional lit
erature virtually tell you that child liter
ature wants no real children in it; that
the real child's example of defective
grammar and lack of elegant department
would furnish to its little patrician pa
trops suggestions very hurtful indeed to
their higher morals, tendencies and am
bitions Then, although the general pub
lie couldn't for the life of it see why or
how, and might even be reminded that
it was just such a rowdying child
itself, and that its father-the father
of his country-was gust such a child,
that Abraham Lincoln was Just such
a lovable, lawless child, all-all of
this argument would avail not N
the least, since the elegantly minded
purveyors of child literature cannot pos
sibly tolerate the presence of any but the
refined children-the very proper chill
dren-the studiously thoughtful, poetic
children-and these must be kept safe
from the contaminating touch of our
rough and tumble little fellows in ''hod-
den gray" with frowzy heads, begrimed
but laughing faces, and such awful,
awful vulgarities of naturalness, and
crimes of simplicity, and brazen faith
and trust, and love of life and everybody

Nothing can be much more depressing
than seasickness, and for this reason we
should strongly advise all weak persons
not to encounter if possible the risk Of
its occurrence. 1t is astonishing how
soon and how completely those who are
favored with fair measure of constitu-
tonal elasticity recover from its depres-
sion. In their case the benefits of a sea
trip may thus, with compensations Of
air, diet and appetite. be enhanced by q
few hours of mechanical nausea. 1t is
in truth for such persons only that tours
of this kind are advisable.-London Ian.

The other day a woman was building
with great deliberation a dialect story.
Suddenly she felt her attention called TO
the corner OF the room. There she saw
friend who lives in Washington seated
with bowed head, crying. The story
writer called out the visitors name, and
the vision fed. Immediately, ON her
manuscript paper. this woman wrote her
friend, detailing the circumstance.
The next day she received letter

PRICE ONE CENT



The secretary of the Smithsonian in-
stitution, Professor Langley, has been
experimenting with Cuban firefiies with
view 10 discovering the manner in
which the illumination they emit is
generated. BE says that the light they
give is the cheapest in the world
produced, that is to say, with the least
heat and the smallest expenditure of
energy-and he believes that a success
full imitation of it would prove a most
profitable substitute for gas or electrici-
ty. The insects are beetles two inches
long and belong TO the family of ''snap-
ping bugs" SO called because when one
of them is laid on its back il snaps itself
into the air with clicking sound. The
secret of the light this FREELY gives is as
yet undiscovered.
Apparently it is connected in some
way with the mysterious phenomena of
life, and chemists and physicists have
sought in vain 10 explain its ORIGIN. On
each side of the animals thorax is a
luminous membraneous spot, and these
fash at intervals, SO that the Cubans put
dozen of the insects in cage together
and obtain a continuous illumination
bright enough to read by. This. light is
accompanied by no perceptible heat, and
Is seemingly produced with no expendi-
ture OF energy. How great an improve
ment it represents upon all known arti-
fetal lights can be imagined when Il is
stated that in candle light, lamp light
or gas light the waste is more than 80
per cent.-American Analyst.

How New York Appears to a FOreirne

Ofthe ugliness, confusedness and shah

said; but full justice is done to the Cen
trail park, which in another generation
will be the most beautiful public resort

together unfair to judge of America by

can vie with it in dirt, inconvenience
and meanness of appearance.-London

The smallest fee ever taken by an Eng
lish counsel was sixpence, that fee hav-
ing on one occasion been taken by the
late Sir John Holker. Barristers' fees
were in olden times much less than
those now paid. An entry occurs in the
church wardens' accounts of st. Mar
garet's, Westminster, for 1916, showing
that a fee of three shillings and eight
pence, with fourpence for his dinner.
was paid to Robert Fylpott, counsel.
learned in the law, for his advice.
In Mares Glossary" barrister's fee
was stated to be an angel, or ten shil-
lings. These are somewhat different
figures to the 600 guineas paid to Sir
Charles Russell three or four years ago
at the Leeds assizes for less than three
hours's work, or at the rate Of over three
guipeas a minute.-London Tt-Bits.

Cactuses are the hedgehogs of the
vegetable world; their motto is Memo
me impune lacessit." Many time in the
West Indies have pushed my hand for
a second into a bit of tangled bush, as
the negroes call it. TO seize some rare
flower or some beautiful insect and been
punished for twenty-four hours after
ward by the stings of the almost invisi-
bic "a glasslike little cactus needles.
The reason for this bellicose disposition
on the part of the cactuses is a tolerablv
easy one TO guess. Fodder is rare in the
desert The starving herbivores that
find themselves from time to time be-
lated on the confines of such thirsty re-
gions would seize with avidity upon any
succulent plant which offered them food
and drink at once in their last extremity.
In the ceaseless war between herbi-
vore and plant, which is waged every
day and all day long the whole world
over with far greater persistence than
the war between carnivore and prey.
only those species of plant can survive
in such exposed situations which happen
to develop spines. thorns or prickles as
means of defense against the mouths
of hungry and desperate assailants.-

The Father of Modern Jurisprudence.
Louis TX was practically the founder
of modern Jurisprudence About the
year 1871 he noticed the abuses which
were caused in France by men taking
into their OWE hands the work of re-
dressing their own wrongs, and pub
lished a proclamation establishing the
quarantine du roi This forbade private
redress for wrongs for the space of forty
days after the injury was committed.
During that time the injured person
must seek redress and satisfaction in the
kings court, and if his wrong were not
righted at the end of forty DAYS he
might then take its rectifcation into his
own hands
This proclamation made justice speedy
and tolerably sure, although of course
its administration was in a rough and
ready way, and unless the records are at
fault some law of this kind prevailed in
Louisiana at the time when Missouri
was part of the French kings posses
