The candy pulling given by the
ladies Of the First Baptist church,
at the home of Mr., and Mrs, f, Il,
Friedell Tuesday afternoon and eve
ming, Feb. 26th, was an occasion
long to be remembered by those
who attended, From 4 to & o'clock
in the afternoon was devoted to
the children; candy was sold at 10
cents per plate, The evening was
devoted to grown people, there be-
ing about seyenty-liye in attend
ance, Each young gentleman pull
ed candy with his best girl, which
would naturally cause him to burst
forth occasionally with expressions
very applicable to the occasion,
Che candy being sweet The candy
would of course pop while it was be-
ing pulled, fer which neither the
young gentleman or the young lady
could be censured. No doubt but
candy pullngs are very helpful to
the young ladies and gentlemen,
All present expressed themselves as
having spent a pleasant evening"

Indian Privileges I'm Maine.

There is trouble among the Penob-
scot Indians ut Indian Island, Oldtown
IL miles from Bangor, the home of the
largest and most important Indian
tribe in Maine, over an order of the
Maine Central railroad, just issued, thut
they must pay full fare when travelling
Oil that road. For 60 years the In
dams have been allowed to pay the same
fare as children, the custom having its
origin here. When the Bangor q
Nesie, the first railroad in Maine, was
built, the road carried many Indians
up river, and Gen. Samuel Nesie, of this
city, then the wealthiest man in Maine,
who was president of the road, allowed
the Indians to ride ut children's rates,
and for 60 years since the custom has
continued. The Indians declare that
II the Bangor & Aroostook railroad
follows the example of the Maine Cen
trail, they will bring suits for heavy
damages against the company. They
claim that the road, formerly the Ban
gor d Piscataquis, WINS allowed to
Gross Orson and Black Islands without
paying damages, provided Indians were
allowed to ride for half fare forever

There II a toll-gate hidden away,
Half in the fields, and half In the trees.
Where the children, the elves. and the

With footsteps facing the twilight

But a child must pay for the toll with a
song,
Before the fairy land II can see.
And this must be said. or 1t all goes
wrong:

SUCCEED ONLY BY CLEAVAGE.
Limitations Which Surround Animals In
Their Flight.


It is evident that not one of these
would-be flying machine men has ever
seriously undertaken to solve the prob
lem mentally. There is but one way Of
getting through the air by mechanical
action, and that is by cleavage. There
are really only two forms of cleavage,
the one as represented by wing action
as applied by insects and birds. the
other a rotary action as represented by
the screws of steamer. To the APP
plication of the wing principle there is
limit set by natural law, just as in
animal forms there is limit set to
either bipedal or quadrupedal construc-
ton.
There is. perhaps, no form of cleavage
more economically than wing action as
manifested in the fight of a wild goose.
Here is an exceptionally large avoirdu-
pois for the wing area, but the bird
cannot carry any additional weight.
In the birds of prey the body is lighter
in proportion to wing surface-a light,
compact frame, but immense muscular
action, capable of carrying for short
distance load of from eight to twelve
pounds.
But the limit is soon found, and there
is not winged creature on the earth
weighing so pounds that can mount
into the air and cleave Is true flyer.
Why do not the ostrich, the great aux,
the emu and other congeners OF these
bird tribes properly fly, since they are
equipped with cleavers as are other
birds of fight? Walkers and swim
mers, as well as flyers, are all, by natur-
al law, limited within certain restric-
tons, and it is remarkable that these
inventors have not learned this, as it is
fact of the utmost Importance, and
one which, in careful analysis, must
early disclose itself.--Pittsburgh Dis
patch.

MISSIONARIES m CHINA.
Grave Mistakes Made By Inexperlenosd
Mon and Women


Nothing is more remarkable than the
extraordinary and needless zeal of the
modern missionary in China. Regard
less OF all dangers, the young aspirants
for missionary work, needless of former
mishaps, make the long and weary voy-
ages into the interior far from any help.
I have seen young married people,
with child clinging to the breast Of its
mother, start out from Shanghai for
the north, not knowing one word of the
Chinese language. The force of folly
could no further go. OF the great i'm
portance of knowing the Chinese
language before attempting to preach.
and of the patience required in MASTER
ing the same, too much cannot possibly
be said. In the ''mandarin." which il
the dialect used by all officials in the
is provinces, there are to every sound
four distinct tones. If the young mis-
sionary, after studying for year or
more the common everyday phrases and
characters, starts out an itinerary from
the stations, and during street sermon
does not use the right tone or infection
of his voice with certain sound, he will
convey to his hearers an absolutely
different meaning from that intended.
The four tones in the mandarin" are:
First, an ascending tone, giving n high
explosive sound as when in anger; sec
ond, a rising infection as when making
an inquiry; third, n curving, and fourth,
a lowering infection. The language,
containing tens of thousands of words
and characters, has only 200 or 300
sounds, which necessitates the great
tone difficulty. European children,
born in China, hear and reproduce the
tones naturally and unerringly, but tho
tones and ears of the missionary must
be trained by careful and persevering
attention. Serious troubles have ut
times been traced to plumbers made by
slips of the tongue and neglect in using
the proper tone.
Ignorance in this matter may lead to
speaking disparagingly Of old customs
or perhaps an unintentional condem-
nation of the sacred rites expounded by
Confucius. Old and experienced
missionaries assert that ii is n great
mistake, and very often the cause Of
grave consequence, to allow ineXperi-
enced men and women to deal with
Chinese, whose passions lie in n dor
mant state until aroused, when ut the
slightest provocation they break forth
with the fury of wild beasts.-Philadel-
phia Times.

The annual report Of Attorney Cen

The annual report Of Attorney Gen.
eral Harmon shows that there has been
an increase in the number of criminal
cases pending IN the federal courts as
well as an increase In the expenses of
the courts from 1864, 1913 in 1888 TO S.
52S,223 in 1895. He says too much of
the time of the supreme court Is occu-
pied by criminal appeals, and suggests
that such appeals be disallowed save in
capital cases. He also calls attention
to what he regards ms the growing abuse
Of the writ of habeas corpus, and sug-
gests that the allowance of stay by
the supreme court or one of its judges
he required ut least ON all appeals after
the first.
