Caught by Conscience.

On one of the famous Lorenzo Dow
circuit appointments he was informed
by the simple country folk that a mem
Der of his congregation had been guilty
of stealing a sheep. Suspicion was d.
rected against a particular individual
but no evidence was offered in support
Dow said nothing in reply, hardly
asked a question, appeared to take llt-
tie interest in the report but that
evening when he came to preach 1t
was noticed with surprise that he en-
tered the pulpit ak in hand. Before
he began the sermon the glittering tool
was laid upon the pulpit cushion. The
address was a powerful assault against
every form Of theft, and when the IN
terest OF the hearers had reached a eli
max the orator suddenly paused in the
midst of the breathless silence, and,
lifting the ak above the pulpit, eH-
claimed: But, my friends, | am told
that a rogue has been among YOU
that he has recently broken the eighth
commandent, and is probably guilty
attendant upon the services Of this
hour. Therefore | will proceed 10
point out the culprit by throwing this
ak at his guilty head" and with this
he poised the weapon. WhereuPon,
to the intense astonishment Of the peo-
ple. man who sat close to the altar
swiftly and involuntarily ducked his
head behind pew. The culPrit was
detected. The preacher shrewdly
gauged the character Of his audience.
First, rousing their attention by ms
eloquence, be then awakened the con-
science, and finally, by master-stroke
Of dramatic power, preciPitated the
grotesque action Of the criminal.

Look Bright.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how TO
tell a story. a well told story Is as
welcome as a sunbeam IN slck-room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn
to stop croaking. If You cannot gee
any good in the world, keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your
pains and aches under a pleasant
smile. No one cares to hear whether
YOU have the earache, headache or
rheumatism. Don't CRY. Tears do
well enough in novels, but they are
out of place in real life. Learn to
meet your friends with smile. The
GOOD humored man or woman is
always welcome, but the dyspePtic
or hypochondriac is not wanted any
where and Is a nuisance as well.

From the Central Presbyterian
THE WINCHESTER CENTENNIAL

Last week when we went over into
the Valley Of Virginia, and woke up
on Wednesday morning near Shep-
herdstown, the mountains seemed more
than ever the Blue Ridge; the sky
was blue, the limestone streets were
blue, and the Presbyterianism was Of
the bluest. Everything was blue, but
Pastor Ghiselin and the Shepherds
town people. They were not blue,
They were happy and radiant with
qualification at the notable gathering
in their church, and abundant in their
fine hospitalities.
The occasion was the celebration Of
the Centennial of the Presbytery OF
Winchester, which was erected by a
division Of Lexington Presbytery, by
the action of the Synod of Virginia at
Harrisonburg in 1894 The Rev, Mo-
ses Hoge, the Rev. Nash Legrand, the
Rev. William Hill and the Rev. John
Lyle were the four tatherS of the Pres
bytery. And the field extended over
the whole northern end of the Shen-
andoah Valley, and far out over the
mountains of Hampshire. The found
ers and their followers through hun
dred years of eventful history were
worthy of the memorial of this meet
ing at Shepherdstown.

Hunting Pythons.

The colony of Natal, South Africa,
abounds in boa constructors and py-
thons. While they do not attack men,
they are especially destructive of cat
tie, sheep and oxen, and for this reason
parties are formed by hunters and ma
tives to burn the bush and forest IN
order to exterminate the pests.
Some of the soldiers at Pieterma-
ritzburg were recently informed by a
party of neighboring Zulus of the
whereabouts of huge python that
had been destroying their oxen. The
soldiers, with 200 natives, started OFT
to capture the snake, and having To-
Gated it, the forest was fired for about
a mile roundabout, an enormous PIT
having been previously dug in towards
the centre of the inclosed space. What
with the burning brush and the shouts
of the excited Kafirs, they soon drove
the reptile towards the pit where, clos
ing in upon him, they forced him into
it. The python proved to be Of enor-
nous size, being thirty-two feet long
and forty-one inches in circumference.
Itappeared to be quite stupid or dazed,
having just eaten young OK that had
been let into the inclosure.
An enormous cage with iron bars
half way down the front having been
constructed, the snake was got out Of
the pit and taken into Maritzburg in
the cage. Here it is kept on exhibi-
ton at the barracks, and is fed twice
week, two Kafir goats at each meal.
1t will not eat anything that has been
already killed for it, preferring to kill
its food itself. The goats are thrust
through small door at the end OF the
cage alive, when, fixing its great eyes
upon them, the snake suddenly lunges
forward and crushes them in its pow
erful folds. After covering them with
a thick slime about two inches thick,
before swallowing, it fattens them out
by squeezing them, and then devours
them almost at a gulp. After this the
python goes to sleep and does not wake
until it is time to feed again.
A gentleman in Maritzburg owns a
python that has been confined in a
cage for over thirteen months. Dur
ing this period the snake has not eaten
a moutnful of food of any kind, al
though every conceivable delicacy Of
likely snake diet, such as frogs, birds
rats and meats, has been set to tempt
its appetite. Its fast seems not to be
broken and the owner has at last aban'
doned the idea of coaxing the coily
prisoner with food. 1t drinks a very
small quantity of water. Ina dormant
state this fasting would be better un
derstood, for in this state reptiles o
this description have been known t
exist for periods of eighteen months
or even three years.

In the afternoon, the Hon. Felix b.
Welton, a venerable ruling elder OF
the Moorefeld Church, presided. Erect
and vigorous in his advanced years,
he made a fine example Of that body
of the eldership who are so much a
tower of strength to our churches and
our church courts. The Rev. DR.. d.
NJ. White delivered without notes an
address on Presbyterianism, and the
things which differentiate it among
religious systems. 1t was an able ad-
dress, in which there was the script
ural foundation, and the practical
workings of the system, as to policy
doctrine and worship. 1t was charac'
terized by clear thinking and exact
diction.

and lemon oils, which are obtained
from the rinds of those fruits. Gala
bria and Sicily are the chief produc-
ing districts. "Bergamot" is the oil
from a small orange of agreeable fla
vor. The same remark applies to
mandarin" and "tangarin. Various
processes are employed. One consists
in wrapping the peels in linen cloth
and subiecting them to a pressure.
Thus is obtained a turbid, milky fluid,
consisting mainly of oil and water.
This is set in cool place to clarity.
The oil comes to the top and is readi-
" separated; ; but further treatment
is required to remove the vegetable
fbers. invisible to the naked eve,
which float in it. If permitted TO re-
main they would decompose and spoil
the flavor. Bergamot oil is mostly
used in perfumery. Wheni it is stored
lightand air must be carefully eXclud-
ed, or it will spoil
The best lemon oil is obtained by
what is called the sponge process.
To begin with, the nnds are soaked
for twenty minutes in water Then
workman takes each piece in turn,
and, holding it againsta hard-gralned
sponge, grinds the outer surface torcl-
blv with two or three dexterous twists
of the wrist. This breaks the oil cells,
and the oil is taken up by the sponge,
which at intervals is squeezed into a
receptacle. The liquid obtained is
clarified in the manner already de-
scribed. Another manner is to roll
the fruit gently and quickly around IN
a pan, the inside of which is covered
with little spikes. The latter PrIcks
the oil sacks and let out the oil, which
escapes through a hole in the bottom
of the pan.
Essential oils are distinguished from
the so-called fixed oils by the fact
that the former when subjected to
heat will wholly evaporate, leaving no
trace behind Anybody may obtain
these volatile oils by simply soaking
the leaves or other odoriferous parts
of the plant in alcohol. The alcohol
will take up the oil and will thus be
transformed into homemade cologne.
Nuts and barks to be distilled for their
oils are first crushed, and roots are
chopped up into little pieces. Woods
are reduced preliminarly to shavlngs
or sawdust. For example, cedar oil,
which is much used by perfumers, Is
made from the shavingS collected IN
lead pencil factories. 1t is sort OF
bv.product Of the lead pencil industry
Hard seeds, like caraway and amse,
are smashed preliminarily with rolls.

1t was a happy thing to have the
venerable DR.. John A. Scott, whose
father and grandfather, as well as
himself and his sons, have labored IN
this field, to be the moderator of this
centennial meeting. The Rev. DR..
James R. Graham, Of Winchester,
moderator of the General Assembly,
and for many years the stated clerk
of this Presbytery, read the historical
paper. Choosing as his subject the
history of the settlements south OF the
Potomac, and the foundation of church
es previous to the erection of the Pres
bytery, DR.. Graham read a history Of
the pioneer settlers, ministers and
churches, that is beyond value as a
contribution of original research to
history, and than which we have never
heard long paper of It's character
listened to with closer attention by
crowded assembly. DR.. Graham after
much painstaking research has reached
the conclusion that there were settlers
in the Valley before the coming o:
Joist Hite, who, according to Foote in
his history of the Valley, came in 1871
Morgan Morgan, of Wales, came to
Bunker Hill in 1926. And near Elk
Branch, in Jefferson county, Is a tomb
dated as far back as 1907. DR.. Gra-
ham thinks that church, or at least
Presbyterian preaching place ex-
listed before Opequon, called in early
church records Patowmock, and which
he located right there at Shepherds
town, on the banks of the Potomac.
DR.. Graham's paper containeda graph
ic picture of Messrs. Hoge, lie Grand,
Hill, Lyle and Williamson. 1t was a
paper that must be preserved.
The Rev. DR.. Moses D. Hoge, OF
Richmond, who is the grandson of the
Rev. Moses Hoge, a founder of the
Presbytery and pastor at Shepherds
town, followed DR.. Graham in an adj
dress worthy of the occasion, worthy
of the speaker, and worthy of his il
lustrious ancestors. We are hoping
to give this address to our readers
very soou, in a form nearly, if not
quite, exactly as delivered.

He Took a Dress Suit.

Armour, has the name of being pretty
liberal with his employees. He pays
good salaries, but he wants faithful
service. 1t is his custom TO make oc-
casional presents to his men in either
cash or its equivalent, and it is not an
uncommon practice with him to give
an employee an order for new suit
ofclothes. He called one of the young
men aside one day and said Il want
to make YOU little present. You
wouldn't object ts some new clothes,
would YOU? Here is an order for a
suit; please accept it as token of my
recognition of your service.
The young man was very much
pleased. But when he came to think
the matter over he said to himself
The chances are that I'll never get
this opportunity again. Mr.. Armour
has an army Of employees, and It Is
altogether unlikely that my turn will
ever come round again. lneed bus
mess suit. but can buy it with my
own money. I'll do the smart thing
and get dress suit on this order.
And the young man chuckled to think
what a real shrewd game he was play
ing.
When Mr.. Armour got the bill for
$50 for that dress suit he was consld-
erably surprised. He leaned his head
upon his hand and considered the at-
fair calmly then he sent for the young
man.
MY young friend, said Mr.. Ar
mour to the fellow, "is this bill cor
rect ?'
The young man looked at the bill
and said yes.
when l gave You the order, said
Mr. Armour, Il specified no amount
which ! was willing to pay. ! took 1t
for granted that you would pay that
consideration to my liberalty which
others in my employ have always OBJ
served; ! supposed that a young man
occupying comparatively humble
position would be contented with mod
crate attire. You see wear very IN
expensive clothing Forty dollars
would, | think, have purchased as fine
"A suit of clothes as you should have.
am not finding fault with you; !
shall pay this bill and never alIude to
II again. But have called You IN
here to ask you ar a business man,
whether YOU really think 1t was
smart business procedure upon your
part to practice that which might be
construed as an imposition upon
kindly disposed employer DO You
not think that | would naturally have
been more pleasantly disposed toward
you had you been az generous IN your
use Of my friendliness as was in ex-
tending it to YOU
The young man was greatly abashed.
He tried to apologize and he stam-
mered confusedly.
"You are young man, said Mr.
Armour kindly, "and you have much
to learn. | want to impress upon you
that YOU should never take even a
seeming advantage Of a friend for,
aside from all other considerations,
that is not a smart move.
This lesson had it's desired effect.
Mr.. Armour never alluded to the af-
fair again, but he was pleased to see
that the young man proved by his de-
voted service genuine regret for hs
foolish error. The young man has
been promoted from time to time and
is now one Of Mr.. Armour's trusted
lieutenants. 1t Is he himself who tells
this story Of biz employers generosity,
amiability and forbearsnee.-Chieago

At night the large church was close
ly packed again to hear a sermon from
DR.. Hoge. DR.. Scott had spoken of
him in the morning as the Chrysostom
of our day, and on the text, Mathew
xvii 5, and the subject, "The Personal
Christ" he preached, with great power
and fervor, a sermon never to be for
gotten by those who heard.
Winchester Presbytery has had a
century of very arduous and faithful
life. 1t has grown to be body Of
some thirty ministers and forty-three
churches; and has about thirty-fve
hundred communicates 1t has num-
bered among its ministers some Of the
noblest specimens of the Presbyterian
ministry, and has them now. 1t has
