NEW GERMAN SABBATH
The Moral of 1t Seems to Be Either
Go to Church or Stay Safely
At Home in Bed.

Remember the Sabbath day. In Ber-
lin one is not very likely to forget it.
When we read the newest police reg
ulations affecting the outer observ-
ance of Sundays and holy days one
feels that the Scotch Sabbath is not in
it. 1t is the Glasgow Sunday of Rob
Roy, when a man might be arrested fol
idling in kirk time.
The first restrictions quoted seem
mild, perhaps even salutary. All noisy
trades and callings are forbidden dur
ing the hours of morning service so far
as they interfere with the Sunday rest.
The beer wagon may not wag, and the
roll wagon may not rell, the furniture
van must not rumble down the peace
full streets, and people may not change
houses on Sunday morning. But who
that could pay his rent would want to?
Soon, however we come to stricter
ruling. On Sundays, days of penitence,
and through Passion week. private fes-
tivities are forbidden if they interfere
with such days. Into the house the
police don't exactly intrude, but if the
different flats fail to agree on the ques-
tion,. then the police right comes in
again. And finally here is the gem of
the whole document. People are gra-
ciously permitted to tend and water
their flowers in their gardens and bal
comics on any hour of Sunday except
the hours of morning Divine service
then they mayn't. The moral of it all
seems to be-either 60 to church or
keep safely in bed.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE DAILY cAnERA
POWERS CLAY BANK.
A Maine Farmer Discovers q Clay
Which VIII Net Him Ten Dollars
q Ton Profit.

The New England farmer who owns
bank of white aluminous clay that is
free from grit. and capable of being
ground to a fine mass of white powder,
has no need of going to the Klondike
or seeking other fields for wealth, be-
cause the paper makers will take all
the clay he can produce and pay him
$40 to S12 ton for the same and thank
him for the privilege. Henry Powers,
of Camden, Me-, who owns small
farm near Mount Megunticook and
sells picking cucumb bers in the Boston
market for one dollar barrel, thinks
he has discovered one of these much
sought clay mines at the back end of
his lot in damp. boggy place, which
will not grow cucumbers.
1t was the desire for more cucum-
bers that led to the discovery. Bowers
was ditching his bog land to draw of
the water one day in June, and when
he had gone through some three feet
of black muck his spade ran deep into
hard white clay that was tough to
cut and which shook like jelly when
agitated. Having worked in a paper
mill in Orono for two winters and
knowing that the makers of white pa
per used about 35 per cent. of a Ger
man clay in their stock, he took some
of his mineral home and dried it in the
oven of his cook stove. When the
water had been dispelled he ground the
mass in he family coffee mill and sent
few pounds of the powder to large
parcr mill in Berlin Falls, n. H. In
about week he received word that
the sample he had forwarded was as
good as the best that could be had in
Europe, and that the company would
pay him $12 a ton for all he could
produce. As the total cost of digging,
drying, grinding and boxing the clay
does not exceed two dollars ton, and
as there are 100000 tons of 1t on the
Bowers place, the finder has high hopes
of becoming a millionaire, and will at
once start in to build up his fortune.
Until four years ago agalite was the
only clay material that could be en-
| ployed in making white paper Later
a deposit of white clay was found in
South Carolina which has been largely
used as a substitute for the imported
| article. The South Carolina produc,
sells for eight dollars ton, while
agalite commanded SIS. AS the Cam
den clay is said to be as good as the
best, it will no doubt come into general
use. Both the Camden and the South
Carolina products are composed of
lime and alumina, and contain no sand
of any kind. The clay found in Camden
is much the whittier, making it very
valuable to paper makers.-N u Sun

Urquestioning obedience is generally
a good thing to require from subor-
dinates, but sometimes 1t leads to
strange results. Numerous complaints
had come before a certain official in
regard to the quality of food served to
the inmates of one of the public insti-
tutions; and he determined to investi-
gate for himself, in order to see if the
matter really required attention.
Making his way to the particular
building in question just about dinner
time, he walked straight over to where
the kitchen is located. At the very
door he encountered two muscular
looking men carrying huge, steaming
boiler.
Put that kettle down." he brusquely
ordered; and the men at once obeyed
Get me spoon," he next command
ed.
The man who brought the spoon was
about to say something. but was Or
dered to keep silent.
Take off the lid," was the next
command. I'm going to taste it,"
The two men were utterly cowed by
the official brusqueness. and, wonder
ing, watched him gulp down a big
mouthful.
DO you mean to say that you call
this soup?" the official demanded

1t is best to err on the side Of cour-
tssy and strict Interpretation of the
rights of neutral vessels, as President
Mckinley did in his proclamation per
mltting the enemy's merchant vessels
until Msy 81 to get out of American
ports, rather than to be too previous
in such matters. Spanish ships, sail
ing from foreign lands to our country
and starting previous to May sr, may
also come into our ports and dis
charge their cargoes unmolested, pro-
vided they do not contain goods con-
traband of war. These goods mean
anything which will feed, clothe, give
means of defense or In any way sus-
tain the enemy while making war on
us. Under strict Interpretation of the
terms of the proclamation several of
the first Spanish prizes taken by our
navy will be surrendered, after the
courts of inquiry decide the matter.
Notably this is true of the first ship
taken, the Buena Venture. We
venture to say, however, that no Span
ish merchant will ever get back his 50
crates of live chickens that were cap
tured by the American squadron while
being conveyed to Havana on one of
the prize ships. Some things are un-
certain this is not one of them.

Read and Ponder.

A church in Michigan bought a
carpet for $500, and 1t was paid for
by the women who raised the funds
by long series of sociables and enter
tainments. In commenting upon the
purchase, after the carpet was laid,
the pastor is said to have delivered
himself as follows
"ThiS carpet cost not $500, as
shown by the bill rendered but
$4,000. To the bill rendered must
be added all the incidentals, the work
and worry and nervous strain and
bodily WEAKNESS and headaches and
heartaches of seventy-fve or one hun
dred women during all these years,
while the purchase fund was slowly
accumulating. To 1t must tc added
the colds and fevers and doctor bills,
and also what you have paid to other
churches, for when Methodists and
Baptists come to your socials you
must go to theirs. The incidentals do
not stop here. A man buys some
groceries and his wife at the expense
of fuel and strength and time makes a
cake or something else and gives it
over to the social, and then the man
and his wife and children go to the
social and eat the cake and pay for
it-count that in. Suppers have been
given that actually cost eight or ten
dollars and have netted only five to
seven dollars-count that in. De-
moralization of church society, cur
taliment of legitimate given to the
church proper, and various other
things follow in the train of the
church social habit.
The pastor then expressed himself
as "opposed to any more sociables as
revenue producers"
"Yet show l unto you a more ex-
cellent way" 1t is the way of Paul.
''Now concerning the collection for
the saints. as l have given order for
the churches of Galatia, even SO do
ye. Upon the first day of the week
let every one of you lay by him in
store, as God Hath prospered him,
that there be no gatherings (sociables)

"Some years ago l had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times I
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, 1 felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. ! can
hardly explain my feelings at that

that did not wish to live, although 1
