Rev. Alex. Bennett Surprised.

From the Coils, (Kan.,) Advance,
we clip the following concerning IA
a product of Mineral Point:
One Of the most memorable events
in the history of the COTS Methodist
Episcopal church occurred Monday
evening, October %. The preceding
day was Rev. Benefits birthday,
and the members of the Junior Lea
que began the celebration Of the day
by decorating the church very artist
ically with autumn leaves, berries
and blooming plants on Saturday.
Monday afternoon Mr.. Bennett was
persuaded that his pastoral duties
called him to Bancroft. During bis
absence the ladies prepared Il bounti-
full supper, and upon his return at q
y. M. the church was well filed with
friends who gave him hearty well
come. Mr.. Bennett seemed master
Of the occasion and got along very
we'll until o'clock, when he was es-
corted to the church door and pre-
sented with a road wagon, harness
and fur robe, gifts of friends both at
Goffs and Bancroft This was too
great surprise and all the reverend
man could say was that he was
grateful and wished he had his man
uscript.
The gifts were indeed neat and
useful and could not have been given
to anyone who would have appreci-
ated them more. The donors feel
that the presents are but small com
pensation for the earnest efforts
which Rev. Bennett puts forth daily
for the advancement Of all that is
right in our community.

He Ate Cabbage md Lived.

Wonderful are the whims of the hu.
man stomach. What kills one man gives
another life. One of the strangest cases
Of craving for food on the part of q
sick man is narrated by Mrs. Hazen in
"Our Army Nurses. She was at the
time (1S64) nurse in the Columbian
hospital at Washington. Among her pa
tients was "bOy"-though he was a
veteran of four years standing-who
had come to the hospital several months
before with a wounded knee. This is
her strange story;
The surgeons had held many exami-
nations He was failing rapidly; could
not retain anything, even cold water
causing hemorrhage Of the stomach.
what is the verdict, doctorf'' asked
one morning.
HE can live but a few days at the
longest" was the answer, "and may
die in few hours. "
Then, doctor, please let him have
what he wants while he does live"
II give him into your hands, Miss
Titus. Do what you please for him. "
The bandages were at once removed,
as he had complained that they were
uncomfortable. Then, as soon as the
other patients were cared, for 1 went to
market garden and bought a head of
cabbage. He had often said he wanted
something green, if only "boiled grass. 4"
When the cabbage was cooked, carried
him some, with cider vinegar, and fed
him.
He ate all there was on the plate,
asked for more, which was brought,
and still third and fourth plate, till
he had eaten the whole cabbage.
From that dinner, in May, he began
to improve, and ON the 14th of June l
started with him on a stretoher for his
home in Pennsylvania, as his life even
then depended upon his diet, and such
meals as he ate would have made we'll
man sick.
He recovered, but had q stiff knee.

How n Quick witted BOstOnIan Saved
Three Lives.
Here is story which is too much to
the credit Of two ladies and gentle
man to be wholly suppressed. They are
all strong swimmers and can battle
with the waves in valiant fashion.
They CHANGED TO be in the sea at one
time and on a shore where the under.
tow is irresistible short distance out.
The man suddenly felt himself in that
strong, terrible, outward pull Of the wa
ters of the mighty deep. He understood
Immediately that he and his compan-
ions would shortly be no more unless
by tremendous, instant, individual exer-
tion they pulled for the shore. In that
treacherous current not one could help
another. How to get "these girls"
ashore without terrifying them and put.
ting them in still greater danger
through their fears was the problem Of
that terrible moment.
The man solved it like hero. He
made a sign, a sound Of personal dis
tress and began swimming inshore.
His companions in the waves heard and
saw his white face. Both believed, as
he meant them to, that he was threat
ened with cramps and swan inshore,
too, calling out cheerful, encouraging
words to him as they pulled for tn
shore, assuring him that he would so n,
be all right; that they could get hir i,
safely if he really should give out ant
other words to that effect 1t W "a mo
long before this man of mortal conroo,
stood upon the beach in sa' ietv ant

what it would have meant for them al
to have spent another IN 0rnent in tina

outgeneraled Her Ill Luck.

The Bonhomme Richard was an I'M
lucky ship. Paul Jones himself on TAX
ing command Of her at Lorient, France,
wrote most doleful letter about her
to one of his aristocratic patronesses in
Paris. She was "a wornout old India
man, and cher forecastle was babel. 1"
'Fourteen different languages are spo-
ken in my forecastle, " said Jones, dis
mayed at the appearance of his motley
crew.
Two days out at sea the Bonhomme
Richard was fouled by her consort, the
Alliance, and had her jib boom and fore
topmast carried away. Jones then put
back to Lorient, perfectly convinced Of
the unluckiness of his ship. But through
that accident he found ia American
seamen who had just been released from
English prisons by exchange, Among
them was Richard Dale, whom Jones al
once appointed first lieutenant These
all volunteered into the Richard, Jones
promptly discharging enough Of his
polyglots to make way for them. Prior
to that he had only about 40 Americans.
This addition made 154 fighting Yankee
seamen, and they were the men who
made the Scraps sick few weeks late,
of the east coast Of England,
Thus it happened that the grandest
exploit in naval history was achieved
by an unluoky ship, and she obtained
the means of achieving it through dis.
tressing accident. Philadelphia Times.

The First botanic Gardens.

After the discovery Of the medical
properties of plants it must have fol-
lowed, in course Of time, that represent
atives of the species 10 which remedial
properties were attributed should be coll
Looted and grown in some place conven-
isntly and readily accessible, as need de-
'manded. The last step did not immedi-
ately follow, however, since, among the
conditions which were earlier supposed
TO influence the potency Of medicinal
herbs, the locality in which grown and
the mysteries attending their collection
were of the greatest Importance. The
first authentic record of the introduction
of medicinal plants into cultivated
plots of ground dates no farther back
than the time of the elder Pliny, 1919
A. D., who writes Of the garden Of An
tonius Castor, at Rome, in which were
grown a large number Of medicinal
plants. This step may have been taken
:s;ssgych earlier by the Greeks, Chinese or
Maxicans, however.
Later the Benediotine monks of north
ern Italy paid great attention to the
growing of remedial herbs and devoted
an important proportion Of the monas-
terry gardens to this purpose. This prac-
tice was also carried beyond the Alps,
and in 1920 a garden was in existence
at the monastery of st. Gall, in Switzer-
land, few kilometers distant from Lake
Constance, which contained 10 plots &C.
Cupied by medicinal plants. A garden
&c IL;- cLo~ooto~ ,uoa forrded in 1909 at
SalerLo aAd another IN Venice III 1880.
In 1909 the Benedictine monks founded
an academy called "Civitas Hippocrat-
lea" at Monte Casino, in Campania,
which appears to the writer to be among
the earliest schools, if not the first
school, of medicine and established in
connection with it ''physics garden. "

Gently wrote to him asking a reply to
these questions:
First. Ought man of medium in
telligence to express publicly and prop
agate the principles of life which he
considers to be truths?
Second. is it worth while to try to
know ones self perfectly?
Third. BY what principles can a
man know at a decisive moment wheth-
er it is really his conscience which
prompts him or whether it is only his
reasonings corrupted by natural weak
ness?

To the third he replied that reason is

How sponges Are Propagated.

There are great many things which
the scientists of today are not able to
explain, and a great many others over
which they have frequent discussions,
owing to a difference of opinion. The
method by which sponges are propagated
when left to themselves is one Of these
mooted scientific questions. Some de-
clare that they are reproduced from
true eggs; others are equally positive
that they are propagated from buds. -
