TURKEYS ON osuTcAEs.


How . California Pa litryman Cured His
Fowls of Rheumatic Troubles.
Capt, Bridge. of Shasta county, CAL,
who has an extensive reputation in
that district as cultivator of
hirh-class poultry, has developed D
very pnilanInruple spirit toward his
wards. Recently he noticed a peculiar
disease spreading among the turkeys.
II exhibited itself by gradual SWELL
ing in the legs from the thigh,
or time honored and much respected
drum stick so popular among young
sters about Thanksgiving time. 1t
spread down the lcgs and in few days
the tarkey unfortunate enough 70 be
sslicted was unable to walk with that
proud and naughty step so frequently
employed by this royal bird. Thc cap,
tain found that by regular hot water
c9riicatians the swelling could he re-
duced, but this manner of treating
was so slow, says the San francisco
Call, that the patient was compelled
to lead a life of idleness, much to
his disgust. At times the captain
would have several of his iatsest
birds in the hospital, and it required
almost all his attention to give them
the hot water treatment. This state
of affairs went on for some time,
when finally he was inspired to in
truiuee little Yankee ingenuity
into the flock. and being rather handy
with his p0cletknife he fashioned a
crude pair OF crutches about seven
inches in length and secured them un-
der the turkeys wings They were
Just fraction longer than the birds
legs, and every time the rheumatic
would take step forward the crutches
would be brought into play, and prog
ress, instead Of being torture, was q
pleasure. In few hours the eripples
became familiar with the new order of
things and were able to hobble around
the yard at a more rapid gait. Almost
any time during damp weather. when
the rheumatism is on. one can see halfa
dozen turkeys on crutches at Capt
Bridges farm. They are learning some
new tricks of late, but so far are not
sufficiently expert to fly up and light
on the fence.

PoaAds Of Strength Expended In Striking
Q Note Heavily.

fp1t lcnfhSs
1t requires more force TO sound note
gently on a piano than to lift the lid of
kettle. A German composer has fig
ured that the minimum pressure of the
finger playing pianissimo is equal to
one hundred and ten grams-a quarter
of a pound. Few kettle lids weigh
more than two ounces, says the Musical
Courier.
The Germans calculations are easy
to verify if one takes small handful
OF coins and piles them on key of the
piano. When sufficient quantity is
piled on to make note sound they may
then be weighed and these figures will
be found to be true.
II the pianist is playing fortissimo a
much greater force is needed. At times
force of six pounds is thrown upon a
single key to produce solitary effect.
With chords the force is generally
spread over the various notes sounded
simultaneously, though a greater out
put Of force is undoubtedly expended.
This is what gives pianists the wonder
ful strength in their fingers so often
commented on. A story used TO be told
of Paderewski that he could crack a
pane Of French plate glass half an inch
thick merely By placing one hand upon
it, as If upon piano keyboard, and
striking SHARPLY with his middle finger.
Chopin's last study in c minor has a
passage which takes two minutes and
five seconds to play, The total pres
sure brought to bear on this, it Is esti-
mated, is equal to three full tons, The
average tonnage Of an hours piano
playing of Chopin's music varies from
twelve to eighty-four tons.

10 get acquainted with one another.
The more the happy family idea is
brought into the school the more Al
tractive and helpful IL will become.
Sunday school sociables and pic
mics are good things when rightly
conducted.
Secondly, the school should aim to
cultivate independent bible study.
Another definition OF the Sunday
school have heard, is "the church
studying the bible" This is one Of
the most important objects Of
the Sunday school.
Every legitimate means should be
used to make bible study attractive
and interesting. Every teacher
should strive to get his pupils TO
study the word.
The lessons prove Gods word,
learned in childhood, are never for
gotten.
Thirdly, the school should aim TO
lead souls TO Christ.
The school that does not aim to
lead its pupils TO a saving knowledge
Of Christ is in an important sense. n
failure. The teacher that does not
strive to apply the truth and lead
her pupils 10 obey, love and trust
Jesus as their savior, is largely losing
the result Of her effort.
The school should be true to its
rlission and nurse its pupils for
strong, useful membership in the
church.
This solemn privilege and duty are
sadly neglected in our school. We
ought to be constantly having con-
versions in cur school, and additions
to the church from Il.
This duty and privilege lays n
heavy responsibility on each teach
er's heart.
The teacher is pastor OF n little
flock, and responsible for the spirit
ual welfare OF each child under her
care.
The teacher then should not only
I study the lesson diligently, but
should spend much time praying for
and with her pupils. Dear fellow
teachers, are you interested enough
In your pupils TO pray with and for
/ thems
Where you are they will doubtless
be brought TO Christ, but perhaps
| not sooner.
The fourth and last aim Of the
] SUNDAY school should be TO develop
1 and cultivate more activity and piety
among its pupils. When n boy or
/ Girl has been led TO the savior he
should be encouraged to 20 out and
\ bring some else into the school, that
he also may be led to Christ.
The successful school should spend
much time studying Gods word and
working for Christ.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
\ Paper Read by {. c Mckinley. De-
filming the True Aims Of the
Sabbath School.

Following is one of n series OF pa
pers relative to the "True Aims OF
the Sabbath School, read from time
by members OF the Presbyterian Sun
day school. This article from Rev.
e. G. Mckinley, expresses his ideas
o. the subject:
The Sabbath school has been de-
fined as the nursery OF the church.
IL this be n true definition, and the
Sunday school is the cradle in which
the church Is rocked, then its inn
portance and influence cannot be
over-estimated.
Its distinctive work should be
clearly defined.
II is feared by many thoughtful
christian people that the Sunday
school is drifting away from its orig
inal intention and distinctive work.
As regard it the aim of every Sab
bath school should be four fold.
First, TO cultivate sociability among
its attendants.
The healthy attractive school
should not be so cold and formal
that the pupils have no opportunity

sixty graves are now filled, over

pleted.
The cyclone is a thing OF the past,
but its terrible results have not nor
can never disappear. 1t was a terri
bic thing, so terrible that human un-
derstanding is stunned and appalled,.
Whole families, mothers, fathers,
sons, daughters and little babes ere

their Creator been turned into the
dust from which they were created.
1t is useless to speculate on the past,
as it is but to accept the future.
"Only facts remain; the dead and
dying are with Us and the living weep
with the afflicted. Human sympathy
is powerless to mend, but il is a price
less balm and the world has given
us all it has. There is as great cause
to give thanks to Him who guides
the course of the storm as there is
to weep. The number spared to
mourn is greater than those for
whom we mourn"

GIobe-Demoerat's Generosity.

The first news of the great disas-
ter at Sherman, Texas, which reach
ed St. Louis on Friday night, was ac-
companied by n statement that the
people of the stricken city had re-
solved to accept no assistance from
any outside sources, but TO furnish
from their own means all funds nee
essary for the relief of the distressed
in their midst. Thinking such a de-
termination TO be born OF supersen-
sitiveness rather than wisdom. and
believing that no city, afflicted as
Sherman was should shut the gates
of charity against itself, the Globe
Democrat sent the following dis
patch at 10 a. m. on Saturday TO the
mayor of Sherman:
ST. LOUIS, May rs. To the mayor
OF Sherman, Texas: The hearts of
the people of ST. Louis go out To the
people Of Sherman in sympathy for
an affiiction which has befallen their

pockets TO second the hearts in your
behalf? Draw on the Globe Demo
crat for 500.
