PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Rev. w. T. King does not
preach to tickle the ears, or quiet
the consciences of his hearers but
goes straight after the prevalent
sins of protesting christians and of
the community. Yesterday his
theme was, "The attitude of the
world toward those who are living
exemplary christian lives" The
world is at enmity against Christ
and his cause, and the real chris
tian will meet with persecution as
has been the history of the church
since the days of Stephen and
Paul. Christians must oppose
evil and sin wherever and when
ever found and should not compro-
mise with the world. The world
hated and rejected the Savior and
put him to death, and still hates
and persecutes his followers.

For good tree brngeth not forth corrupt
fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit.
For every tree is known by his own fruit.
For OF thorns men do not gather figs nor
of bramble bush gather they grapes. Luke
vl:43-4
These are the words of the mas
ter. He simply gave expression
of truth of which the people had
knowledge. In the thought, that
the divinity of Christianity is seen
by its effects, we are forced to the
conclusion that the effect of Christ
ianity is good.
Many condemn the old testa-
ment through ignorance. The
divine writers gave a correct his
tory of characters and would have
heen derelect in duty not to have
recorded the whole truth. The
bad was condemned and never con-
doned.
Woman owes everything to
Christ. In heather lands she was
bearers of burdens. The father
could sell his child into slavery or
take its life. In Christian land,
children are our jewels. The in
fluence OF the gospel has made
men God-like. 1t was the custom
OF Pagan children to murder lnfirm
parents.
While Paganism makes no pro-
vision for imbecility, infidelity has
no institutions for the lifting up OF
man. Christianity has reached
out her hand to the erring and fall
en- and given them the promises of
Christ.
Energy is born Of Christianity.
The first free school was establish
ed by a Christian monarch. Fine
arts fiourished under Christian in
fiuence in lilly, having been driv-
en- there by Psganism. Where
missionaries have gone, there is
Christianity. The negro brought
here 300 years ago from the jungles
of Africa is now civilized under
Christian influence, and there are
more than 100000 negro Metho-
dists. Christianity does for ations
what it does for individuals.

KILLED BY THE CARS.
Clint Adams Chooses an I'm
fortunate Sleeping Place.

Clint Adams, a we'll known
young man of Claremore. was kill
ed Saturday night near Chelsea.
His body was found next morning
badly mutilated. 1t is supposed
that he and a companion, who had
been seen near the railroad track
where his body vas found, had
gone to sleep near the rail, and
that Clint had rolled over too near
and was cut to pieces. Another
story goes to the effect Adams was
shot and then placed on the track.
1t appears that Clint Adams has
been shot at several times during
the past few years, and his enc.
mics are numerous. During the
time he worked for John Bullette,
as a cowboy, he had several mar
row escapes. The authorities
granted Adams the right to carry
arms in order to protect himself.

GREEN BONES AS FOOD.
ton They Are Really with
out . Rival.

The value of bone cutter exceeds IL,
cost II the cutter is used only one sea-
son, but as they are almost indestruct-
able they will last for years. Fresh
green bone is almost of itself a COM
plete food, and may be used as a special
material for egg production. While the
proportion of moisture In bone varies,
1t II In but small amount in bone COM
pared with some other foods. The
moisture in bone may be set down at
about IS per cent, or little over one
third. Bone contains about % pounds
OF mineral mattsr in 100 pounds, 20
pounds of fat and 20 pounds of albu-
minoids. The mineral matter Tor ash)
contains about 81 pounds of phosphate
OF lime in 100 pounds, 11H pounds Of
carbonate of lime and a small proper
ton of earthly matter. Now, anyone
can easily notice that bone is one of
the best foods for producing eggs, as
the fat assists in forming the yolk of
the egg and also in sustaining the fowl
in winter when the weather is cold.
The albuminoids provide the albumen
for the eggs, and the carbonate of lime
forms the shells, while the phosphate
OF lime Is an ingredient of the eggs and
is also just the thing to feed to growing
chicks to make them grow. Then there
is more or less adhering meat to green
bone which is largely nutritious and
very favorable to the production of
eggs. There is no necessity for feeding
oyster shells to provide lime for the
eggshells, as the bone contains car
Donate Of lime in sufficient proportion
for that purpose. Bone is digestible
and is food, yet it also serves as grit;
but In that respect no claims are made
for 1t compared with hard, sharp grit.
Do not confound green cut bone with
ground bone or bone meal. The one il
dry and hard, the other is juicy and
succulent. Another point is that bone
cutter is not bone mill. The bone
cutter does not grind, but cuts (as fine
rs may be wished) both dry and green
bones. but bone mill will only grind
dry bones, as green bones are not suf-
ficiently brittle to be ground. The way
to feed green bone is to give it in the
morning, about pound to a dozen
hens (some give an ounce to each hen,
or q pound to 16 fowls), then give no
other food until night, but let the hens
scratch and work. Two or three times
q week half the quantity of bone may
be used, giving also cut clover, ground
foods. etc., but always give full meal
of whole grain at night, as too much
soft food is not conducive to thrift

of Marchese Carcano, well-known
horse fancier of Lombardy, whose four
finland of Shetland ponies has been the
admiration of his fellow citizens for
some years past. The creature which
the marchese has succeeded in rearing
is said to stand only six hands, or "a
inches, high. We believe that the small
eat Shetlands seldom are under eight
hands. But this pony is no less re-
markable for its perfect symmetry than
for its minute proportions. The pro-
prietor has great liking for miniature
horses, contending that they do more
work for their size than an ordinary
horse, and consume much less food. His
