Canned Cayuse Not Desired.

The majority of people who attended
the feast were butchers. On arriving
at the place the people found there
two animals roasted and ready to be
served to the hungry ones. One of
these animals was COW and the other
horse. Everybody was invited to
partake of both and judge for them
selves which of the animals was the
best for satisfying their hunger. Sew

Harnessing the sun.

Noith ameTiCdu heNleW
When We sit in front of coal fire
and enjoy its generous warmth, do we
realize that the heat and light of the
burning coal are really sunshine that
has been stored up for ages? Such is
the fact. Centuries ago the sun shone
on the earth, and plants and trees
grew, fell and grew again. They were
covered by geologic deposits and acted
upon by great heat and pressure, until
in the course of years or ages these
broad layers of organic matter were
transformed into coal. The coal thus
represents the work done by the sun
shine years ago, and when it is burned
the imprisoned solar energy is loos-
ened again.
Our system of power production de.
pends upon this presence of energy.
But coal is wasteful source OF energy.
Even the best engines do not utilize
over 10 per cent. of the calculated
energy OF the heat OF coal. and besides
this it is an inconvenient thing in
many ways. 1t has to be mined,
freighted and stored. Can we not find
some more economical way of using
the suns energy?
During the last few years the great
progress in electrical science has enab.
led man to utilize the solar heat in a
thriftier way. During its days work
the sun draws up large amount of
water from the oceans and from the
damp earth. By the action of its rays
plant life flourishes, and plants
draw from the ground and evaporate
into the air large amounts of water.
Thus an oak tree of average size, with
zoo, 600 leaves, lifts from the earth
into the air about 1913 tons of water
during the five months it displays its
foliage. This evaporated water, sooner
or later, falls as rain, and by the action
of gravity begins to flow downward.
Thus the great rivers are fed. Round
and round necessarily goes the water
lifted by the tireless sun to fall when
deserted by him, and again to be lifted,
and again to fall and run seaward as
long as it may exist upon this earth.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A little flour dredged over the top
of a cake will keep the icing from run
ming.
For fleas in the house saturate rags
with few drops of oil OF pennyroya
and lay them around.
The best thing to loosen up salt or
sugar that has become hard packed in
a barrel is a carpenters scratch awl."
Pickles or vinegar will not keep in
a stone jar which has ever been used
for lard or any other kind OF grease.
Persian powder shot into their
haunts by an insect gun will kill some
ants, and stupify others so they may
be swept up and destroyed.
When bottling pickles or catsup,
boil the corks, and while hot you can
press them in the bottles, and when
cold they are sealed tightly.
To dry fruit quickly and we'll,
stretch cheap, sleazy muslin ON
frames, spread fruit one layer deep on
this and dry in sun, or over the stove.
Washing soda moistened to a paste
will brighten tins quickly, and tea
spoonful added to tablespoonful of
Spanish whiting will make a paste
that will clean marble if it is allowed
to dry there.
II is said that n new potato grated
finely and then used instead of soap to
wash with is good. The juice of the
potato, raw. OF course, contains some
principle that acts quickly and benef-
cially on the skin.
When the lamp burners become
clogged and sticky lay them in
small pot cover with vinegar and add
a tablespoonful OF salt; let them boil
an hour or two. They will come out
as fresh and clean as ever.
Jam sandwiches are the correct
thing for afternoon tea or lawn party,
instead of cake. Cut the bread in
narrow finger-length pieces, and lay
them log-cabin wise on plate that is
coveted with fancy dolly. Cut the
bread very thin, butter well then
spread with jam. Raspberry, straw
berry, peach or plum, are suitable.
These with meat sandwiches and cool
drinks are all that is necessary.

"THE WORLD FOR CHRISTI"
The Old Orchard Meetings to be Given Up
to the Work of Missions.
IspEcrAL TO THE pREss.l

Old Orchard, Aug. 6-Mr. Kibby OF
Manchester, N. Fl. led the morning..prayer
meeting of the Christian Alliance, and
DR.. Simpson were the speakers at .he ear
ly service for the study of the Bible. The
central thought of the previous clay, the
second coming of Christ, was not forgot
ten, but there was the added thought that
the world must be won for Him. "The
World for Christ was the thought ex-
pressed in many--ways by many speakers.
1t is the intenti on of DR.. Simpson that
during the rest of the week the require
ments of the foreign mission field shall be
alone considered, of course not neglecting
those who have been recently converted,
or who are asking "Whatsmust do to be
saved?" There will be special meetings
for such.
The morning service at the stand was
given to the subject of missions.
There were a series of brief but pointed
addresses by Mr. Farr DR.. Wilson, Mrs
Schaltz.and Others Rev. Stephen Merritt
led the noonRday meeting, so that wher
the afternoon was reached there had beer
an almost unbroken service. Miss Tobey
Mrs. Simpson and others addressed the
meeting of the Children'S Alliance and
Mrs. Russell and Miss S. Lindenberger thai
Of the Woman's s Alliance.
There was a largely attended evening
service with many of the prominent work
ers on the platform. Rev. Walter Russell
presided and was the leading speaker, de.
livering a very able address especially tc
young men. His method of treating a
subject is original and very taking, as fol
example when he spoke of the young men
who care still on the merry -go-round Of
the world !" he impressively contrasted a
life of SIN with one lived out in the peace
of God. j

he hopes to arrange for the holding of at
least one large missionary meeting some

THE GREENAcRE CONGRESS.
Proceedings of the Unique and Valuable
Summer Gathering at Eliot.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.j


Greenacre, Eliot, Me-, August 6.-The
days at Greenacre fit as with the winged
1 feet of Mercury. The morning exercises,
special lectures and classes, are succeeded
by the general lectures of each afternoon,
followed by an evening of instruction or
diversion. Everybody is busy, yet un-
hurried, and the white flag of "peace' be-
tokens the universal harmony in the
midst of diversity. In all and through
all, is felt the benign presence of Miss
Sarah J. Farmer, the presiding genius
of Greenacre.
Saturday was set apart as Children S
day, and the exercises were in charge of
Miss Cora L. Stockham of Chicago, who
has had wide experience as a kinder
gartner, and the in training of children.
The mothers and children who are now
the favored guests OF the Rosemary
Home, the "fresh air'' cottage near Eliot
were present and occupied reserved seats
in the auditorium tent. The children
sang few songs under Miss Stockham' S
leadership, and everybody seemed as
happy as the smiling day outside. Miss
Stockham gave an excellent paper on
"Play as Educatiye," as evolved by the
great Froebel. The plays of childhood are
the germinal leaves of the coming man,
for the true inward nature is expressed in
spontaneous play. By it, the child forgets
the limitations of sense and the bondage
of circumstances Imagination is the
God-power in action, and being wisely
direoIed, the child grows into the idea of
that which he initiates. Choose wisely
your lesson stories for children. Courage
faith and love should every time triumph
over and subdue doubt and anxiety. Hold
that now, at this moment, the child is in
the eternal ways and there is nothing to
fear. The child will feel the power of this
thought and his soul will expand as the
flower in the sunshine. The child is God
in the germ, with all the possibilities of
perfection contained in his SOUL Froebel
was so wise as to make work into play
until the child learned to have joy in
work.

worked all her life to help humanity,

After two races won in straight heats,
at the opening day Of the midsummer
meeting at Rigby yesterday, there came
six exciting trials in the 2.20 trot. 1t was
a fighting racessfrom start to finish, each
heat closing with the leaders in bunch.
The attendance was good for the opening
day, about 800 people being present. The
weather was all that could be desired, the
skies being clear and cool breeze tenn
pering the heat.
The first race was the g. SO trot, with
seven starters, Vanetta, Busby Bee, Dor
othy, Pullman, Gloria, Amber, Odell and
Norman. Wilkes. Mr.. Courtney ssJenkins
was the starter, and announced that Am
Der Odell had theTpole. Mr.. Jenkins held
the horses and drivers right up to their
work. Proctor was up behind Vanetta,
Brody handled the liness over Amber,
Trout guided Dorothy, West sat on Pull
mans sulky and directed Gloria, Noyes
was up behind Amber. Odell and Ellis
took Normand Wilkes around the course.
Three times the field scored, getting a
good start on the fourth, with the pole
horse in the Lead but at the quarter Am
Der went to pieces and Busy Bee forged
rapidly ahead, gaining a lead which she
held until the finish, Dorothy finishing
second, Pullman third. The time was
2. 25 Ia
The second heat of the 33 trot was an
easy one for the Busy Bee. The gamey
roam mare was not headed during the
race, making lead at the first and keep
Ing it to the close, finishing at jog in
227 IL Dorothy was not in it on this
trip and after getting second place in the
first heat was shut out by the distance
flag in the second. Pullman got the Sec
ond place this time and Norman Wilkes
was third. After the heat it was fan
nounced that Amber Odell had been
drawn.
Busy Bee kept them busy again in the
third heat. The little roam, starting at
the pole, kept to the front all the way
round, the heat resembling a procession,
with the exception that the two horses
in the rear engaged in lively set-to for
the last place. Pullman clung to second
place again and onco or twice the bay
gelding showed laudable desire to close
the gap between himself and the leader,
but it was unayailing.
THE 2.17 PACING.
The III pacing race started with six
starters. Jim Harris had the pole. At
ter several attempts they were sent away
well together. Jim Harris, W. G. B. and
Martin Box had it among themselves.
Jim held his lead around the turn with
Martin Box al. his wheel. Then W. G. B.
pushed for the front and az the three
quarters had the heat well in hand, win
ming easily, although by small margin.
Jim Harris clung to second place and
Martin Box had to content himself with
the third position. 1t was a fast heat,
| the time being 2. 10 3-4. The winning
