Mr.. EDITOR Now that the time for

like to say a word against herding on the
Sabbath. Are not the children breaking
the fourth commandment Is it right
that our children shonld ne roaming oyec
the country, when they should be at
church or Sabbath SCHOOL, We know
that the ! eOple say in the spring, THE
boys need not come TO take the cows ont
until after Sabbath school," but as soon
as the days get long and hot, do we not
hear the complaint that the cows are
gotten out too late in the morningf
Bot, even If the children do go to
Sabbath school is it right that the rest OF
The Sabbath should be spent in all kinds
Ut mischief Could not the cows be kept
up on that day. Had we not better do

done. GOOD MORALS,

The Church on the bill was evidently
built q short time after the laying out Of
the town. 1t was square edidce, gal
leries around on three sides. ceiled on the
inside and furnished with pews which
were at all times suggestive of penance.
For nearly one hundred years, this build
ing served it's purpose. Now it has pass
ed away, and with it every pastor that
served the congregation. Nearly all the
wcrshipers have gone. Some have re-
moved to distant homes and are still
lingering on the shores of time. Here
few remain to transmit to the present
members the traditions of the long ago,
bat the most of them calmly sleep close
by the spot where the old church stood.
To those that remain the associations
connected with this old church are in
deed tender. Ii was the church of their
childhood. There they can recall the
FERNS and kind words of hosts of relatives
and friends W no so often met together in
the old building, aud of whom none re-
main. The church was of wood aud
naturally yielded to the destroying ele-
ments and finally became unsafe. Had
it been otherwise it would have been
vandalism to have removed il.

FUNNY LITTLE BUGS
How the Tumble Bug Hatohea
and Hides Eggs
The Clever Beetle Il Of Great Interest,"
Aside from the Fact That He Was
Worshiped BY the Egyptians
of Many Centuries Ago.

There is found in every state OF the
union little insect that used TO be
god. His history is a wonderful ac-
count of ups and downs You would
never guess from his personal appear
ance. says the New York Herald. that
he was once worshiped BIZ human be-
ings, for he is very plain and modest
looking. He goes about his daily toll
IN the most cheerful end matter-of-fact
way, seemingly more interested in rear
ing heirs than in studying ancestors
he reclls not that his name was once
Sacred Scarabaeus Of the Egyptians.
To-day he is plain Mr.. Tumble Bug, at
your serTice.
But the tumble bug Is Of great In
terest in himself. leaving out al men
ton of his history. This is on account
of the peculiar manner in which tbs
Matching of the egg is provided for.
After being laid it is immediately rolled
up in a bali of mud and manure. about
the size of a big marble. When the
bal is thoroughly dried Mr.. and Mrs.
Tumble Bug start it rolling, in search
OF some convenient place in which to
bury it, This place may not be found
for some yards. and the ingenuity dis
played in navigating" it over that dis
lance is far greater than that shown by
some human beings in their chosen
business.
In the first place the ball is round.
This, of course, is the best form for
rolling. But even then the slightest
inequality of the ground, or even
blade of grass, would present serious
obstacle. OF course, if the tumble bug
were as big as mouse he could carry
the ball in his mouth; II he were
adapted for pushing, he could move ii
in that way; but, unfortunately, he IL
neither. In solving the problem, IN
spite of so many difficulties. he illus
trates the old saying that there is more
than one way Of killing a cat.
The method is this. Mrs. Tumble
Bug climbs up on top of the ball. and
gets good and ready to move toward
the front edge, SO as to start 1t going.

AS GOOD AS WHIST.
The Farmer, the Tanning Mill and the Bags
of Atmosphere.


II see." remarked the wide-awake
farmer to the Express man, THAT
wheat has gone up TO seventy cents in
Chicago, and there's a report that it
will keep goin' till it gets to one dol
lar. Now, I'd like to contract to sell
you my crop for seventy cents Seventy
cents will do me. I'd rather have a
sure thing while its goin' than TO take
INV chances on dom better by waitin'."
But" replied the commission mer-
chant, II can't agree to contract for
your wheat at seventy cents
"Why not? It's goin' up to dollar,
an you'll make thirty cents busheL
Amt that enough?"
''Oh, yes; but you see that seventy
cents is only a speculative price. 1t
amt what they pay for real wheat"
Don't pay that for real wheat?
What in thunder do they pay it for,
then?'
why. for options"
well, what the blazes are options?"
why, they're promises to get wheat
and sell it for such and such a price. "
We'll, then, they got to get the
wheat, amt they?"
mo: they sell the promises again,
according as the market rises or falls. -
AN don't they buy an sell any real
wheat at alp
Not much
Just buy an sell wind at seventy
cents bushel?''
That's about it."

that last fall. l wouldn't a-sowed any
wheat. I'd tied my grain bags to the
hack O. my fannin' mill an kept the
boy turnin' it all winter, till I'd filed

WAROF THE FUTURE
Modern Guns viii Niece ssitate =
Change in Tactics.
According 70 Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Oefen.
sive Battles Will Be at . Premium
and Defensive Warfare win
Be Simpli6ed.

The modern guns will make great
changes in the art of war, writes Cen
Fitzhugh Lee in the Century, and The
plans employed in former campaigns
by the great commanders will receive
many notifications. Defensive BATTLES
will be at premium, and defensive
warfare will be simplified. Armies will
naneuver for position. and the generals
commanding them will gain fame by
movements skillfully conducted to con-
centrate their scattered battalions at
the proper time, with the purpose Of
forcing an antagonist to give rather
than to accept battle If campaign
with a designated objective point is
planned. and the strategy is offensive
on the part of one of the commanders,
If possible his tactics will be defensive
Hostile armies will keep at greater dis
t2nces and in open country out of sight
of each other, unless they can take I'D
line at night and intrench; and direct
flank movements will not be attempted
where troops are visible before the as
sault. Field balloons will locate tho
position, and photography mark the
formal ion of contending forces. while
telephones and electricity will play
prominent parts in the war drama.
Night marching and night attacks Will
be more frequent, and columns Of
troops organized to charge stationary
positions will be moved under darkness
to close points so that the charge at
dawn win occupy the shortest time
possible.
Raging battles will be fought BY IN
fantry and aptillery, and one of the
problems will be the protection Of the
horses that draw the guns. Temporary
field-works cannot shelter them. and
unless hills afford protection they will
perish in the leaden hail. Cavalry will
not be employed on the main field of
battle, but on the TANKS of armies,
against cavalry. Cavalry chieftains
will no longer assail infantry or artil-
lery, and no more charges will be re-
corded like those Of Ponsonby at

font feet on the ground. while the
hind feet and the tip of the abdomen
are against the ball. When all is ready
Mr.. L. gives the signal supposedly.
Mrs. T. gives lurch forward, and lol
they're off. Mrs. T. usually has very
bad luck Immediately after the start,
for almost invariably she is carried TO
the ground. and the ball rolls over her.
But she is very Cood-natured about it.
She doesn't get cross, or refuse to play
any more. She just climbs out from
under, shakes the dust out of her
skirts, mounts the ball again, and is
ready for another start.
If down grade is encountered the
work is so much the easier, although
bugs and ball will frequently land In q
heap at the bottom. But when an ap
grade or large obstacle interviews the
trouble is very great. In such a case
tumble bugs will do one of two things:
They will either desert the ball or 60 in
search of help. In the former case an
.other family viii frequently happen
along. and take charge of affairs, just
as if the ball were their own. In the
latter case the neighbors always turn
out, il there are any such.
If you handle tumble bugs while they
are at work they remain very quiet IN.
til you get through. and then resume
trolling the bali. Nothing seems to dis.
,turb them.
After the ball has fairly started the
around without apparent reason. They
are, however. searching for a good
place of deposit. The hole in which It
finally rests is several inches and often
a foot or more in depth, and in order
that the bugs may be able TO excavste
it the digging" must be good.
J When the site is once chosen q queer
method of making the hole is resorted
to. The,way of rolling the ball is COM
Inonplace compared to it. You would
naturally think that the bugs would
first dig the hole and then push the ball
into it. No such thing. They quite
reverse the process. One of the bugs
gets under the ball and digs with his
hind legs. throwing the dirt out around
the edges. As he gets lower the ball
sinks with him, and when the hole u
deep enough he digs his way around
the ball, which has followed him al
the way, and then pushes up through
the loose dirt to the surface. VIVA: he

Waterloo or Murat at Jena. This arm
will still be effective in reconnaissance
picketing, guarding trains. and as es-
corts; but except in small bodies Its
use for advance and rear-guards will
be diminished. The target presented
is too large to be risked before field
guns firing with great rapidity, even OF
several miles distant, as well as before
infantry rifles necessarily flashing q
mile away.
Maneuvering a cavalry corps with,
say. 10000 horses on future battle
field would be high type Of cruelty to
animals; but the regiments, brigades
and divisions composing it can still
render good service. They can be
moved with celebrity long distances. and
the troopers, except the horse-holders,
can be dismounted and used as infantry,
their modern carbines being nearly as
effective as the magazine-rifie of the
infantryman; but it will be most diff
cult to protect the horses while locat-
ing them in such position as to reach
their riders or be reached by them
With uScSSSdTN-
Perhaps the most interesting prob
lem to be solved by those who organize
armies in the future is the disposition
and arrangement of the immense ammu-
milton trains. The greedy guns must
be fed. and great will be their rapacity.
Next to the commanding general and
his principal assistants will rank in
importance the field chief Of ord
nance, who has the location Of
supply depots and the management
of the transportation of large and
small cartridges to the combatants.
The continual replenishing Of caissons
and timber boxes, the smaller charges
for infantry during actual conflict, and
the safety and efficiency of vast trains
where electric or steam roads cannot
be constructed. will require a brave.
enterprising. cool, vigilant officer OF
conspicuous ability and executive ca
pacity.
The medical department. too, must
he reorganized and enlarged to convey
the disabled to field hospitals, for field
ambulances cannot be placed close to
battle lines, and the numbers of the
wounded will be greatly increased.
The great captains of future wars
will be those who fully comprehend
the destructive power OF improved
cannon and small arms. and whose
calm and fertile intellect will grasp the
