with the fathers that in so many in
stances they come from homes of min
listers, home missionary pastors
homes oftentimes." Prof. Walker es-
Inmates that not one-half of the stu
dents in the seminaries are able to
lock to parents or to friends for the
means by which to carry on their
course of study. Yet these men are
frequently the best scholars in their
classes. Some form of student aid is
evidently necessary. The problems
OF ministerial education and supply
were never so difficult as at the pres
ent day, and are worthy the most
careful and Intelligent study.-New
York Observer.
There continues to be a certain
amount of grumbling in the Episcopal
church over the ordination Of Prof.
Briggs, and it is understood that a
society has been organized or is to be
organized, for the protection of the
church against the incursions of SINH
lar scholars. 1t is said also that
there will be opposition to the re-elec-
ton Of some members Of the standing
committee who passed DR.. Briggs's
papers. Bishop F. D. Huntington has
expressed his disapproval of the or
dlnation. He also condemns Bishop
Potter for his action, on the ground
that there is no law compelling him to
ordain man he deems unworthy of
the office.-New York Independent.
The Free church of Scotland still
maintains its old and right position
that the union of church and state in
Scotland is an improperly. In the
Free church assembly lately, Principal
Rainy moved a deliverance declaring
that the present alliance of church and
state in Scotland ought to come to an
end, in the interests of public justice,
ecclesiastical freedom, and of the
unity, welfare and efficiency of the
Presbyterian church in Scotland.
There was opposition to the motion
but it was carried by large majority.
The Christian Observer.
The purely commercial relation
which certain class of people hold to
the church has had no more glaring
illustration than is afforded by the
refusal of some pew-holders in up
town Congregational and Episcopal
churches to pay their pew-rents during
the summer months. Such a con-
temptible breach of contract would
properly destroy the credit of any one
in purely business relations; and the
people who thus seek to defraud their
church would not dare to do so were
the eye of the world upon them.-New
York Examiner.
The unity of the Protestant Episco-
pal church is like that sometimes
found in menagerie where animals of
different and naturally hostile species
are seen in the same cage, apparently
living together in peace and har-
mony; but it is the cage and the
keeper that keeps them so-New York

THE FAIR SEX.

Some women think that only mar
ried man can do wrong.
A man has not only to fight against
the possibility Of what a woman finds
out, but also what she dreams about
him.
If woman is truly fond of her nus
band she believes he IS coming down
with something" every time he falls
off in his feed.
Women will trust their daughters
with men under conditions in which
they would not trust their husbands
with other women.
When a girl laughs and looks pleas
ant when she sees her steady talking
to a woman she dislikes, she thinks
what a great actress the world would
have gained had she gone on the
stage.
An Atchison woman who has worked
hard all her life in order that her
family might have something saved up
is now worn out and dying. Those who
have good time as they go along
are the right kind of philosophers.
A girls idea of disloyalty is to keep
a secret from a friend.
When wife is away from home she
reads her husbands letters through
carefully to find something upon
which suspicion may aIght.-Atchison

KNIFE FULL OF THE RELICS.
McKinley's Gift Made of Historical
Ships and weapons.

Mr.. Nathan S. Kingsley of Bar 1dar-
Dor conceived the idea Of making a
pocket knife from materials which had
been parts Of ships or weapons having
a historic interest. The idea was car
ried out and the knife when completed
was sent to President Mckinley as
gift. The president evidently was
greatly pleased with the gift for ne
sent Mr.. Kingsley a very appreciative
autograph letter.
The knife which Mr. Kingsley sent
to the president was an ordinary
sized knife, neatly made and with the
parts all nicely polished. The handle
was of oak, taken from the old United
States warship, the United States. The
brass used for the lining of the knife
and for the tips was a relic from the
frigate Constitution.
The back spring was of steel taken
from gunlock which was from gun
belonging to a member of the Somes
family and used by him in the repuls-
ing Of the British troops when they
tried to effect a landing at the mouth
of what is now Somes sound on the
ocean side of Mount Desert island.
The blade of the knife was made from
the blade of sword presented by one
of the postmaster generals to the mail
carrier who carried the mail from Port
land to Eastport when he had to make
the entire trip on horseback through
the woods. The sword was presented
to him as one of the weapons with
which he might defend himself.-Ban-

A SOPORIFIC PLANT.
The Stipa, Which Makes Men and
Animals Sleepy.

Mr.. Gillespie Of Edinburgh has called
attention to the curious soporific action
of certain plants found in Russia and in
America.
These plants are knwn to botanists
under the name Of stipa. On the Medi-
terranean coast, where the stipa grows
in profusion, it is called virgins fax,
and because of its beautiful blossoms is
used extensively for bouquets.
In Texas and New Mexico a species
of this plant, called stipa viridula, pos
sesses soporific qualities.
The cowboys and herders of the west,
where the plant grows luxuriantly,
often find to their establishment that
their COWS and horses are suddenly
overcome with sleepiness, accompanied
with great weakness. They are rem
dered incapable of travelling, and can
not exert themselves without great
effort.
Horses and COWS are affected alike
The head falls low, the body trembles,
the breath comes with difficulty and
the heart beats unanimously. Accom-
panying this there is profuse sweating
exhaustion. The poor animal seems
violently sick. However, in few days
his state becomes normal again.
Strangely enough, sheep are not af-
fected by the plant.
AS an experiment Mr.. Gillespie in
oculated frogs and rabbits with an eX-
tract from the stipa viridula. After
the injections the animals we're appar-
emily seized with Authorizations and
suffered the anxiety and paralysis of a
strong narcotic.

THE BUSY, BUSY MAN.

You will see him in a hurry,
He will pass you in a furry,
Brushing this and that one out of the
way;
You will think his child is dying
By the way you see him flying,
But-'Timc's money!" is all you'll
hear him say.
No thought of ever stopping,
unning-almost hopping
Not even taking time to catch a car;
You feel his elbow fouling,
He smiles at you a-scowling,
And rushes, rushes on, a human
shooting star.
But just let a truck horse stumble
And take a sudden tumble,
Or a colored man start splashing blue
and lime:
Aud he'll forget about his furry,
Forget it in hurry,
And 'rubberneck" for thirty minutes
time.

THE CHILD'S HEART.

The heart of a child,
Like the heart of a flower,
Has a smile for the sun
And a tear for the shower;
Oh, innocent hours
With wonder beguiled-
Oh, heart like a flowers
In the heart Of a child,
The heart Of a child,
Like the heart Of a bird,
With captures Of music
Is flooded and stirred;
Oh, songs without words,
Oh, melodies wild
Oh, heart like a birds
In the heart of a child!
The heart of a child,
Like the heart of the Spring.
Is full Of the hope
Of what Summer shall bring;
Oh, glory of things
In a world undefiled-
Oh, heart like the Springs
In the heart of a child!

"free church cathedraT' is the
name which an English paper gives to
the new church to be erected at Brigh-
ton in England for the ministry of
Rev. R. J. Campbell, the young man
who has so suddenly come to the front
as one of the great preachers of our
time. He was originally a churchman,
and is graduate of Christ Church
college, Oxford, where he had a dis
tinguished career as a scholar. He is
not much more than 80 years of age,
but has moved the city Of Brighton as
it has not been moved since the
preaching of Frederick W. Robertson.
Plans are now prepared and on eXhibi-
ton for a new church in that city to
cost 100000. 1t will be perhaps the
most expensive church edifce among
the non-conformists of England. 1t
will accommodate about 1000 people.
In an address recently delivered in
Hartford, on the relations Of the
seminaries to the churches, Pro.
fessor Williston Walker, who has
been for some years intrusted
with the administration of the student
aid funds in Hartford seminary, called
attention TO the fact that" theological
students are, beyond any other student
body, prevailingly poor in purse. 1t
is true now, as in the apostles time
that not many rich feel the call to the
service Of the ministry" Theological
students ''come prevailingly from
country homes. It is a proof Of the
reality of the divine covenant made

sue of THE News, the Worth County
Local says. "The removal of Mr.. Sum
ner from Worth's Jail was not because
the jail was not safe one, or that Mr..
Sumner was giving the officers trouble,
but because of an appeal to the judge
from some OF the prosecutors that they
feared that steps might be taken in the
absence of the sheriff to liberale him. Be

WANT TO PREACH In DAWSON
MORMON ELDERS TRY TO SECURE A
PLACE TO HOLD SERVICES.
Are Carrying Systematic Campaign
in the County. But Few People
Go Out to Hear Them.

Go Out to Hear Them.
The two apostles Of Mormonism, FL
ders II. L. Randall and Farley N. Nelson.
whose prese nee in tho county was noted
in last weeks News, are quite active in
their endeavors' TO plant the seeds of
their faith here.
They have made several visits to Daw-
SOB and have left tracts and pamphlets
explaining the Mormon religion at most
of the homes of the city They have also
endeaVored to secure place at which to
preach in the city, but have met with
the cold shoulder on every hand. The
court house and other places have been
refused them, and it is not probable
that they will obtain place in which to
hold services.
The elders confine their work mostly
to the rural districts. They make great
efforts to persuade the people to go out
to hear them, but SO far have suc-
ceeded in getting but few to listen to
what they have to say. Sunday they
preached three times to small congrega>
tions at Midway, and most of the SER
vices which they have held in other
sections of the county have been slimly
attended.
The people of the county know what
Morm0nism is, and will doubtless let it
alone.
