turbed the services by loud, profane and
vulgar language. According to the test
imony it would appear that both the de-
PENDANTS had been or were members Of
the church at the time. They disagreed
with . number Of views expressed by the
pastor, and both in Sunday school and at
preaching services proclaimed in loud
manner their Arguments contrary to the

The appeals to fear have well nigh
ceased, and yet there is no fact which
we are SO compelled to see as the fact
of retribution. The law of retribution
works in our present life. We become
aware of 1t in our earliest infancy, and
we never become developed in charac-
ter until we have learned to fear that
which is evil and to shun the conse-
Quences Of sin. There is a sense of
righteousness in all men, and all men
know that unrighteousness brings pun
ishment. 1t is fair to assume that
what is part of mans very structure
here will continue hereafter. We may
give up entirely the notion of a mate
rial hell, but we cannot give up the
doctrine of retribution. Suffering must
follow sin, and therefore to appeal to
fear is not only legitimate, but it is in
accordance with the structure of mans
nature.-North American Review.

Cross word. XIII a bird.

A bird which receives a Scolding Is
made as miserable and unhappy there
by as child would be. TO illustrate
this Our Dumb Animals tells the fol-
lowing story:
A Massachusetts woman had few
years ago Il beautiful canary bird
which she dearly loved and to which
she had never spoken an unkind word
in her life.
One day the church organist was
away. and she stopped after church to
play the organ for the Sunday school,
In consequence of this the dinner had
to be put off an hour, and when she got
home her good husband was very an
cry, and he spoke to her unkindly.
The things were put on, and they sat
down In silence at the table, and pres
emily the bird began to chirp at her as
it always had to attract her attention.
To shane her husband for having spo-
ken so she turned to the bird and for
the first time in her life spoke to 1t in a
most violent and angry tone. In less
than five minutes there was a f1utter-
ing in the cage. She sprang to the
cage. The bird was dead.
Mrs. Hendricks, the wife of the late
vice president Of the United States,
said that she once killed a hooking
bird in the same way. 1t annoyed her
by loud singing. To stop it she spoke
In a violent tone and pretended to
throw something at it, and within five
minutes it was dead.

SHOOTING IN SCOTLAND.
An Immense Sum Expended Annual

An Immense Sum Expended Annual
ly In This Form of Sport.
AS to the sums spent on shooting
in Scotland, so large Is the total that
it is a difficult matter to arrive even
| at an approximate estimate. In Perth
shire alone there are 465 shootings, of
which about four-fifths are let to ten
ants and bring in about E150,OOO a
year, or an average of f4OO year,
which seems about a fair estimate If
it be borne in mind that this is an ex-
pensive country and that so of It's best
shootings bring $4,000, or an average
of f7OO a year. In the whole of Scot
land there are about 1000 shootings,
and as each of them must at least en-
ploy one keeper and one gillie during
the shooting season some estimate
may be formed of the money expended
in wages and the number of people
employed.
In the deer forests and on the larger
shootings there will often be from four
to six men permanently engaged and
from six to eight others working for
| the shooting season only. In well
known forest where l once spent many
pleasant days there were three for
esters, three gillies and three pony men
out each day. On the grouse ground
there were three keepers, with three
underkeepers, kennel man and two
carriers going to and from the nearest
railway station, total of Is men and
five horses, not to mention the ponies
kept for riding into the forest and
those kept to carry grouse panniers.
On this property three rifles could stalk
each day, while three other parties of
two each could shoot grouse, or the
six could combine for driving.-Cham-

lRONCLAO FEVER,

Peculiar Disease That Was Killed
by Ventilation.
In the fight between the Monitor and
Merrimac it was found that there was
not sufficient air in the turreted steam
er for the crew and that the suffocating
gases generated by the explosion of
gunpowder found their way below and
rendered it practically impossible for
the men to work. Necessity therefore
compelled the Introduction of some ap-
paratus for artificial ventilation.
The old methods in vogue for hun
dreds of years had been retained even
under the new conditions and but for
the striking exhibition of direct inter-
ference with fighting capacity would
have remained for many years longer.
In the Monitor was placed a rotary
blower, worked by steam. Air was
thus drawn from one half of the steam
er through system of pipes and
forced into the other. Various changes
were made in later ironclads of this
period. In some the air was drawn
down the turrets and forced through
more than ever liable to suffocate the
men below in battle, while in others the
supply was obtained through armored
cylinders and forced out through the
turrets.
1t was in the early ironclads that a
peculiar disease developed which, be-
ing confined to those vessels, was soon
designated ironclad fever. In this af-
lection the initial symptoms were
much like those of typhus, but in a
short time severe occipital pain was
followed by complete aphonia and this
by coma and death. The Introduction
Of ventilating appliances caused the

The Pitching OF an Ocean Liner.

The Pitching: OF AN Ocean Liner.
e. w. Howe. telling in the Atchison
Globe of his experience during a voy-
age across the Atlantic ocean, says:
Il believe l made discovery in sea-
sickness. One night when the ship
was pitching badly l remarked that
when there was particularly hard
lunge the screws came out of the wa.
ter and whirled round so rapidly as to
almost throw Inc out of bed. I was
sleeping with my head forward, and
after awhile | discovered that the
screws seemed to come out Of the wa
ter when the Prov was in the air. Then
it occurred to ME that this was impos-
sible. OF course the screws came out
when the stern was in the air.
$50 my discovery was that in sea-
sickness, particularly when you are in
bed at night or have your eyes closed,
the ship really pitches upward when
you think it pitches downward. This
confusion may assist in muddling the
brain and stomach. l certainly had
this experience all through one night.
When my head seemed in the air, the
screws came out of the water although
my heels were really in the air at the

For some years past the treasury de-
partment has received from time to
time letters from all parts of the coun-
try asking for information regarding
certain large sums of money which, it
is alleged, are on deposit in the treas
ury department awaiting distribution
to heirs or persons of great wealth in
Europe and America.
Among these noted claims is one of
the heirs of man of the name of De
Haven, who is alleged to have loaned
the government Of the United States
large sums of money during the Revo-
lutionary war. Another we'll known
case is that of the Robert Morris es-
tate, the heirs of which, it is said, are
entitled to receive from the govern
ment several millions of dollars. The
Durkee claim also is we'll known in the
department and involves several mil
lions of dollars. The latest one is that
of the heirs of Anneke Jams, who are
said to be entitled to receive from the
United States something like $9O,O00,-
600, which sum. it is said, has been re-
ceived from Holland and now awaits
proof of relationship.
1t is stated at the treasury depart
ment that all Of these claims are spuri-
Gus and that they are made the basis
Of confidence games by agents who
work upon the credulity of the unin-
formed. Agents, it is said, are selling
bonds to raise money to prosecute
these claims against the government,
realizing something like $40 per $1,000
promised in case of success. The treas.
ury department is powerless to proceed
against these impostors.-W Washington
