an Infatuated COW. She ran to the res

but before she could make good her

Either the fall or the horns of the

The child escaped with only a few
bruises.

We were informed by r. }. Harris
that he has sold thirty-six bushels
of seed wheat to parties living in the

their success will be such as to in

Religious Differences.

In the greater concerns of life there
are wonderful illustrations of the con-
ficts of opinions. There are something
over 1,200,000,00O of human beings in
the world. Among these are six va
rieties of religious belief; three of these
are said by one class to be false, and by
others three are said to be the true re-
ligion. And yet every religionist, every
sectarian claims that he and she alone
are right. What our Chinese neighbors
say is 'true" we say is "false." We call
them "heathens"-they class us as ''out-
side barbarians."
What we English speaking people
think is the right and the true religion
is in a startling minority in human be-
lief or religious creditor there are
only some 100000 Christians in all
the world. There are some 5000 900
Jews, and they have clung with singular
persistency in all ages to their religious
belief; it is seldom Jew renounces his
faith; it is more seldom that a Chris
tian embraces Judaism There are
more than 400,000,000 people who are
pagans and Mohammedans. Detroit

FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
A Mammoth Tree from California to he
Exhibited.

| California is to be honored by having
section u one Of her famous big trees made
Il prominent feature in the Government
building at the Columbian exhibition at
Chicago. The project, the accomplishment
Of which Is fully assured, is unique one.
/ The section of the tree will be twenty-three
feet in diameter and thirty feet long. This
will be divided into three parts, and these
/ will be placed In their natural position,
one above the other. and so arranged as to
form something like two story house.
/ The contract for the tree was made by H.
/ A. Taylor, Of the department Of the in
ierior, with the Kings River Lumber com
pany in the spring Of this year, and the
company is now at work getting it out in
their forest Of sequoia gigantea in the
/ Converse basin on Kings river in Fresno
county.
! The contract called for tree 90 feet.e
inches in diameter but the tree actually
/ found will be three feet greater in diameter.
There are Of course larger trees in ths
| forest, but the requirement was that this
section should be perfect in all respects,
| cylindrical, straight and without a burn
In the bark, and this was the largest found
to fill all these conditions. The tree select.
ed, says the San Francisco Chronicle, is
one known as the General Noble" It
measures thirty-eight feet in diameter near
the ground, but as the object was to have
the section Of the same diameter at both
ends, as nearly as possible, piece is being
taken out Of the tree at some distance from
the ground. To do this and to preserve
the section from harm by falling, as well
as TO meet other requirements, has proved
to be a work of considerable magnitude.
The idea is not to send solid section. but.
rather, the rim Of the tree followed out
and cut into segments of suitable size, and
all to be numbered 80 that they can be
erected at Chicago SO as to look from the
exterior like the solid section of sequoia
thirty feet in height. The three parts into
which the section is being cut consist of
two parts Of fourteen feet each, to be hol-
lowed out, and one two feet thick, which
will serve as floor between the two stories,
as it were.
The work Of cutting, lowering and box
ing the segments is being pushed forward
as rapidly as possible, and it is expected
that the tree will all be shipped by the end
Of October. To get the tree to point
where wagons can reach it required the
building Of a road two miles long. The en-
tire exhibit, including the work, will cost
the government several thousand dollars
The tree when erected at Chicago will stand
directly under the great dome of the Gov
ernment building

The scarfpin should always be worn
with the fiat, madeup scarf. There is
a place for its insertion, and by seeming
to hold it together it attains utilita-
rian phase, in that it is an aid in gloss
ing over the percentage of madeup sug-
gestiveness that is always more or less
associated with the initiative article.
The madeup fat or puff scarf, if worn
without scarfpin, discloses its arti-
ticiality in all the badness of its me-
chanical inferiority. 1t is a curious
paradox in the fashions, therefore, that
the scarfng that does not actually need
the scarfpin in reality requires it most
of all.
