burg, and the fles we're maintained in
good shape while the Reviewing officer,
Mai. w. H. Hunter, marched past. The
parade was then dismissed and the
ground given over to the base ballists,
and four or five innings of interesting
ball was played, when the ground was
occupied by the Mountain City foot ball
teams who gave an interesting exhibit
tion.
The visitors then took their depart
ure for the depot and as the special
trains came in we're borne away to their
homes. No complaint was heard, ever
yone seemed to have thoroughly enjoy
ed the outing. 1t was big day for Sc
uuachee, and in the words of a South
Pittsburg man "Sequachee ought to
to grow; she has more rackets than an
other place in the valley, and her
people must surely be hustlers, and
with this encomium upon the enterprise
of our citizens we conclude.

A FAMOUS GERMAN STuD.

Trakehnen is altogether different from
 any stud l have seen in Germany and is historically most interesting. It was
 founded in the year 1732 by Frederick
 the Great, who inherited it from his
 father and improved it very much, liv-
 ing there great deal in a picturesque
 old house now occupied by the chief
 veterinary-surgeon, and planting some
 wonderful avenues of oaks, which have
 grown into exceedingly fine trees and
 are quite a feature of the place. Fred
 erfck the Great bequeathed the stud to
 the state, with the proviso that the
 Kings of Prussia should every year
 have the right to take forty of the best
 horses at a nominal sum-a right that
 1t strictly exercised at the present day as the Trakehen horses are much prized
 by the Emperor, than whom no one
 more thoroughly appreciates having his
 carriages horses that can go both far and fast. In the centre of the estate,
 which comprises some 4,150 hectares
 (nearly acres, or, to be accurate, 2471 acres), is situated the charming resi- dence of the director, Capt. Von Oettin- gen, the hotel, post-office, stallion sta- bles, exercising yards for young horses house with room for some sixty grooms, and most of the chief build ings in connection with the stud in general The estate is divided into twelve farms, on each of which though differering somewhat in size, complete set of most substantial red-brck build- ings is placed, with an excellent mana gers house, and big yards and boxes for the agricultural farm combined. some idea of the size of the under- taking may be formed when it is men, toned that the hands ordinarily en- ployed number 2,60O.
 Trakenmen is situated at the extreme northeast corner of Prussia, within a few miles of the Russian fronier, in one of the finest agricultural and pasto- ral districts to be seen in Germany It was said to have been originally a moor, but is now divided into large fiat. arable fields and excellent pastures, and is kept in high state of productive power by the best system VA Sai'iFf fNioii, "iu tHc dDDllCdtloH ol lime to the grasslands. It is worth a passing notice that as Ireland was originally the home of the elk. So was Trakehnen famed for that animal and elk's horn is the Trakehnen brand placed upon all horses that are bred there. The estate has still some stretches of woodland in roe deer, which may be frequently seen grazing in the same fields as the horses: ex- cellent roads run for miles under the noble avenues, and the care with which everything is managed is everywhere manifest-Badminto Magazine.

SOME NEW MORAL VALUES
(Continued from Sixth Page.)

trols the development of any education al institution at this time should be pos
 sessed of a clear and strong, whole some and vigorous civil sense
 "A new valuation is also placed on the press which, on the whole, certain ly so far as I have personal knowledge, has been always open, sometimes eager, to help any wholesome public agitation. The press I say, has received increased value as power in the enlarged oppor- tunity of the nation. A higher obliga- ton of veracity and impartiality is inn posed on the press than ever before and so it ought to be rebuked by the com munity when a powerful organ lends it's influence to politicians or it's writers use it to roast or blacken any one.
 There is an increased value on the church and the pulpit. I don't mean to say that the church is to become po- litical factor or that the pulpit is to be- come the means of political agitation, although sometimes, perhaps, it is fit- ting that the church make it's voice heard on certain things. When I speak of the new value laid on the, work of the church and the pulpit l mean more than that-its influence as a moral pow er it's higher duty as pringer of spfr- itual life to the heart of the people. The occasion demands, the opportunity requires, that above all else, and almost to the exclusion of other things, the church should assert it's own spiritual mission and regard the Providence of God as set before it, a tremendous re- sponsibility and a grand opportunity, for the light of the church, as spiritual light, needs to be set on hilltop to shine to all the nations of the earth.
 "The new occasion in the countrys history has given an increased value to youth. It's a grand age in which to have been born, to have lived, and when I think of the splendid opportunity opening before the youth of this country I thank God for the very problems which challenge our manhood, the test to try our strength, the duties which call forth to the utmost the energies of the bravest and the best. Our modern civilization is destined to increase with the increase of God, and in our works, our deeds and our thoughts He should be reverenced and honored with a new devotion and followed with higher pur- pose and superior faith, for the God of our father Is our God"

MIND YOUR OWN AFFAIRS.

If the Cap Fits You May Wear It. A vast amount of needless pain Is caused most ev'ry day By clack of busy-bodies' tongues That seem to wag always. No towards blow more treach'rous falls No sting more poison bears, Than talk of those, for mischief, who Don't mind their own affairs No subject is too sacred for Their vilifying jeers; No friendship is proof against Their flouts and jbes. and sneers. Their innuendoes snug and trim, Their simulated cares, Would fain lead friends and foes to
 think (s. They mind their own affairs. They, thoughtless, ruin many homes By rousing jealous fears; And glad and happy lives are oft, By them, bedimmed with tears. The latent lie and twisted truth, The hint that cunning dares, Are weapons of the Devil, who Minds everyone's affairs. A fancied slip or weakness sets Their moral wits approwl; Though in their hearts temptations
 sour, And soul and sense befoul; For these same slander-loving folks, If taken unawares, Have weaker moments than their
 friends Who mind their own affairs. The cursed, half-consenting ear, The blank, inslpid smile, Are perfect fortunes to the crowd Who characters defle. As cuba ble as thieves are they Who reset stolen wares. So they who list to gossips' tales Don't mind their own affairs. By what is best in human life, Of love and what it brings, Ne'er risk friendship just to see How much your hinting stings The best of jokes may go too far, And get beyond repairs. The truest test of friendship is To mind ones own affairs. If you would like to see the world Grow happier day by day, Oh, guard your tongue from scandals
 vile Insinuating sway; For, if you've nothing good to say, Say naught that love impairs; The wheel of Fate strange turns may
 take; So mind your own affairs.

SNAKES THE CATS OF THE
 pIJIT IpDTNEC

PHILIPPINES The snakes are the professional rat catchers in the Philippine archipelago, and very well-regulated household must have its snakes. Nearly all of the older bungalows in Manila" a corre- spondent writes, possess what are cal led house snakes-huge reptiles, twelve or fourteen feet long and as thick as a re-engine hose, that permanently re- side up in the roof and live on rats, These big creatures are harmless, and rarely if ever, leave their bodies. Judging from the noise over my cloth ceiling, pair of these pets find pastur- age up above, and I can hear them whacking around about once a week in their chase after rats.
 They are good though noisy rat catchers; but since they must needs eat all they catch, their efficiency seems to be limited to their length of stomach. The only way to get rid of the rats seems to be buy more snakes, and this is simple enough, for you often see the natives hawking them around in town, the boas curled up around bamboo poles, to which their heads are tied.- Public Opinion.
