"RULEs OF HARMONY.
Adopted by the Congress of Mothers
at Washington.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Among the many resolutions Offered by
the Mothers congress was the following:
THAT we endorse the work of the Uni
versal Peace Union and second the sug-
gestion to the mothers, instructors and
citizens of America that lessons of peace
must first be taught by harmony at the
hearth"
The following are the seven rules of
harmony:
First. Hereby I promise to make the
sacred spirit of peace a living power in
my life. and to contribute all the time,
thought and money which l can to its
diffusion.
Second. I promise never to listen with
out a protest to insinuations, vitupera-
tons or unjust accusations against the
members of my family and my fellow
citizens.
Third 1 promise to seek to understand
the spirit of the national laws and to
obey those which exist; to interest my
self fervently for the modification of all
those which uselessly tyrannize upon any
class Of fellow citizens
Fourth. l promise to dedicate all my
thought and influence to the development
of the national and patriotic spirit, and
not to critleise without purpose the adj
ministration OF the family and the nation.
tlIin. promise TO treat all DIuS anu
beasts and eNistences of the animal and
vegetable world with justice and gentle
ness, and not to destroy, save for self
preservation and for the protection of the
weak. Instead, my object shall be to
plant, to nourish and to propagate all
that will lead TO the moral and physical
amelioration of my family, my home and
my nation,

Bricks OF Brass.

MACON, Ga, May 1.-Two good-looking
young men who registered from New
York city, reached here a few days ago,
and one of them sent q telegram to Phil
lip Jackson the wealthiest cotton planter
in Sumter county, asking him to come at
once to this city to look into a good in
vestment. Jackson is as shrewd as be is
rich, bnt in this case he swallowed the
bait, and came on at once.
The strangers treated him royalty, and
introduced him to a satchel full of yellow
metal, which they said contained real
gold bricks. They told of owning a mine
in a secluded spot in Nevada, which they
intended to open as soon as they sold
enough bricks to get the machinery.
Jackson applied some old-fashioned
tests of his own to the bricks, and satisfied
himself that they were genuine. Then he
turned over to the strangers $500 in cold
cash and a check for $4,000 more. The
strangers took an express train north,
and their victim brought his bricks to
Atlanta, where an assayist informed him
that they were of unusally good quality
of brass. He had payment stopped on
his check, and notified the police to look
for the strangers.

Loss to Abbeville.

ATLANTA, GA, April 2S-Another en-
terprisei in which Harry A. Cassin, the de-
faulting cashier, was interested, is now in
trouble, and it is a little doubtful where
the qualifications of his extensive stealing
will end. He was a very large stock
holder and one of the officers of the Hart
man Colony Company, which Owns about
20, 900 acres of land in South Carolina and
is incorporated under the laws of that
State. The Hartman company built a no.

houses and then sent agents north to go.

very we'll, however, and q few months
ago they sent quite @ number Of represen.
tatives to Germany with q view Of secur-
ing %colonists over there. At least one
large steamship company in New York
city was heartily interested in the venture
and the aspects became 80 promising
that Mr.. Cassin put many thousands OIL
dollars of the money which he took from
the bank into the enterprise.
To-day, while the application for a re.

Germany bound for Hartman, each onE

Cassin in Jail, the fate of all these peopl;

Cassin is still in Jail, his friends having
been unable to secure the necessary
bonds. The grand jury meets tomorrow
and doubtless indictments will be fount
against him.

Dogs: not,P Property.

WASHINGTON, Aprilj 26.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day decided a
| case involving a claim for damages for
killing q dog, which (the case, not the
dog,) had made its way from the lower
| Courts of New Orleans through the
various phases of litigation, to be finally
decided here in opposition to the claim.
The suit was instituted by George W.
SentelI, Jr., va. the New Orleans and Car
rollton Railway Company. The dog, a
Newfoundland, valued at 5000, was killed
by q car owned by the railway company.
The case turned upon the validity OF an
Act of the Louisiana Legislature recog-
nizing dogs as personal property only
when placed upon the assessment rolls.
In this case the dog was not assessed.
Justice Brown delivered the opinion Of
the Court, sustaining the constitutionality
of the law and refusing damages. Justice
Brown laid down the law in regard to
dogs in general in the following TERMS:
"The very fact that they are without The
protection of the criminal laws shows
that property in dogs is of an imperfect
nature, and that they stand as 1t were
between animals ferae naturae, in which
until subdued there is no property, and
domestic animals, in which the right OF
property is complete. They are not con-
sidered as being upon the same plane
with horses, cattle, sheep and other DO
mestic animals, but rather in the category
of cats, monkeys, parrots, singing birds
and similar animals kept for pleasure,
curiosity or caprice. Unlike other do
nestle animals they are useful neither as
beasts of burden for draughtno for food.

Bicycle Tires.

With proper care a pair Of tires
should last at least two seasons, no
matter how hard they are ridden. Few
riders understand the peculiar nature
of rubber, and therefore do not give
their tires the care they require and
deserve.
All animal and mineral oil are death
to pure rubber. Petroleum is a posi-
tive solvent of rubber, and a drop Of it
on a tire will leave it's mark. A wheel
should never be left in the hot sun for
any length of time, for in the intense
MONDAY heat the v%ulcanizipg process
goes on, and the rubber grows harder
and is liable to crack. For the same
reason never lean a wheel against a
steam radiator. When winter comes,
and the wheel is to be put away, first
remove the tires from the rims and
wash them. Put them in a cool, moist
place. On a shelf in the cellar, if
possible, debated and. lying fat. Do
not hang them on a nail or peg. The
small cost attending fastening the tires
to the wheels the next spring will be
more than compensated for in the fine
condition of the tires.
If the machine is equipped with a
brake, use it sparingly as possible, and
when it must be applied do so gently
and gradually.
1t is always better to "back pedal
than to use a metal brake on a pneu-
matte tire. The tires should always
be kept pumped to a riding pressure.
When partly Debated and soft they
not only lose their resiliency, but have
a tendency to creep and cut the valve
stem, and become chafed from constant
rubbing against the rims: The more
firmly the tires are inflated the greater
is the tension on the rim, and the less
liable they are to be Il SURGE of acct
dent or annoyance. 1t has also been
proven that a well-infated tire is hard
er to puncture than n from which
any quality Of the pressure has been
allowed to escape. The tire on the
rear wheel should be pumped slightly
more than the front tire.

Worship by Machinery.

This is the day of the sensational
preacher. He no longer depends upon
his own antics and peculiarities, but
is continually calling to his aid me-
chanical appliances to illustrate his
meaning.
A Chicago preacher recently exhibit
ted to his congregation an elaborate
collection of gambling apparatus and
explained how hard it is to beat the
games in which these tools are used.
A New Jersey preacher has intro
duced the photograph as an aid to
worship. His name is Sammis and he
is entitled to a high place on the roll
of preachers of the What-is-it ? varie-
ty. When his congregation vas as
sembled on Easter Sunday they were
surprised to see him duck down into
the pulpit and come up with a square
black box in his hands. This he
opened and from it produced a phono-
graph which had been loaded for the
occasion. The Rev. Mr.. Sammis set
the thing going and the services be-
gan.
The machine played a violin solo in
excellent style. Then it read a psalm.
This was followed by a photograph
hymn.
During this part Of the performance
the preacher modestly kept himself in
the background, but asserted himself
when the time for the sermon came by
preaching with his own mouth.
The photograph then sang again,
prayed once more and finally pro-
nounced the benediction.
This is the farthest advance yet
made in mechanical worship the
heather with his prayer wheel is no
longer ''in it."
We cannot understand why Mr..
Sammis stopped where he did. He
should explain why he burdened him
self with the delivery Of the sermon.
A machine that can play the fiddle,
pray, sing and pronounce the bene-
diction can preach and it was unfair
not to permit it to carry on the entire
service.
Mr.. Sammis has suggested a strik-
ing reform in pulpit methods. Under
his system fully carried out all a
preacher will have to do is to load the
monograph with an appropriate col.
lection of music, prayers, sermon and
benediction, turn on the spring and
sit back and enjoy the services along
with his dying congregation .-AVanta
