AN OLD CHURCH.

OF the many relics OF the early Nor
wegfan immigration to this country,
the most interesting and important is,
no doubt, the old church at Muskego,
Wis, erected in 1874 This is not only
the oldest Norwegian church in Amer
lea, but, without question. is the first
Norwegian Lutheran church raised in
the new world. This historic structure
is to be removed to Minneapolis and
preserved, not only for it's early Nor
wegian associations, but equally so as
relic Of the pioneer days in the west,
for the sturdy Norwegian immigrants
whose hands fashioned this old house
of worship also turned the dark, path
less wilderness OF Wisconsin into
smiling farms The church will stand
on the campus of the United Norwe-
gian church's theological seminary.
The old church is simplicity itself

rest-felled the trees squared them into

and heaped them one upon the other in

FIVE QUEER PLACES.
All of Them Have Some Strange Pc
culiarity of Their Own.

Doubtless the most unique SPOT in
Europe is the little village of Alien
berg, where on its border four coun-
tries meet. 1t is ruled by no monarch,
has no soldiers, no police and no
taxes. It's inhabitants speak a curious
jargon of French and German com

The little town of Stanley, in the
Falkland islands, possesses the most
unique school service ever known.
Two travelling scholmasters are pro-
vided by the government, who visit the
different families where there are chill
dren and give instruction. The length
of their visit depends on the astuteness
of the children, and they may spend
days or weeks as the case may be. at
one house alone
A town Boosting of railway station
which cost $4,000 to erect and a duly
appointed station master, and yet hav-
ing no train service, is unique beyond
dispute. Dundee, in New Jersey. is in
this predicament, the inhabitants hav-
ing actually no trains, although their
fine station is available for any amount
OF traffic, and the reason given for this
strange fact is that so long as the
trains run through the Inhabitants
ought to be satisfied.
There is place in the middle OF the
Pacific ocean well known TO mariners
where there Is never any Christmas
day. This is owing to dts being in the
1sOth degree of longitude and directly
opposite to Greenwich, and, therefore,
twelve hours ahead of Greenwich time.
In journey around the globe the other
twelve hours would have to be marked
out Of the navigator's calendar, and IL
this point crossing the antipodes is
tonched Christmas eve there can be no
Christmas day.
In one Of the West Indies group there
is colony Of some 800 whites and

In fact, there is such a scarcity of ey-
erything that the government has TO

for the church-for it was the handi.
work of all, and each log was remem,
bered and pointed out for years after,
ward. Even to this day, it is said, the
initials Of the brave men whose united
efforts resulted in the raising of thu
church are to be found on the logs
where they were placed fifty-six years
ago. Very few of those who lent q
hand to the work are still alive. II
may be possible that all are gone, but
1t is believed that some are still in the
land OF the living. This question will
however, be carefully investigated
within a few days.
1t is not intended that the old build.
ing will remain simply as show place
1t will be restored, as far as possible
TO its original condition and will be
used as chapel for the theological
students of the United Norwegian
church seminary, and within its his
torical walls, which have resounded
with the eloquence of the old Luther
fathers, Clausen. Dietrichson, Stub and
Preus, many budding preacher will
deliver his first sermon.
President Hoyme of the United Nor
wegian church and Rev. Gerhard Ras-
mussen, pastor of the Bethlehem Nor
wegian Lutheran church of Mime
apolis. are responsible for the preserva-
ton of this interesting relic and the
plan TO remove it to the -four city.
Some fifteen years ago, Mr.. Rasmussen,
at one time a Madison pastor, had
charge of congregation near Muske-
go, and occasionally served the latter
congregation during the period it was
without pastor. He naturally heard
of the old church, which had long since
been relegated to the past. He visited
1t several times and became much at
tached to the primitive building. No
doubt it reminded him of hero who
had outlived his usefulness and had
been neglected by an ungrateful pos
terity. At any rate, those old logs APP
pealed to Mr.. Rasmussen, and he felt
that they should be preserved as long
as they would hold together. The
building was in most neglected state,
and was used AS a storage house for all
kinds of odds and ends on a farm, and
was even used for stable purposes
rather lowly, to be sure, but such neg
lect only endeared the building to Mr..
Rasmussen.
So one day he offered the owner $l00
for the building and the offer was glad
ly accepted. The news that the church
was about to be sold spread rapidly
and parties representing the Norwe-
gian Lutheran synod of America sought
to secure possession, offering the owner
5000. He had given his word, however
and stood by the original deal Last
fall the old timbers were carefully
taken apart and each one as carefully
marked, so that when the old church
takes form again each hand-hewn log
will be in identically the same position
in which it has lain for the past fifty
six years.
1t is understood that the removal and
the re-erection will come to pass this
year. Mr.. Rasmussen goes to Mus
kego in a few days on matters con-
nected with the work.

RICE CULTURE.
Madison Man Engaged In II In
Texas.

The Port Arthur (Tex.) News tells
OF an interesting visit TO a rice farm
OF 900 acres near that city which In
operated by Asa e. Groves of Madison
and Fred. Hathaway OF Berlin. This
farm, and other similar farms near NV
are owned by r. n. Woodward p,ca
growing in the neighborhood is in Tia
infancy but the industry is full of
promise and has already caused
rapid settlement theraabouts Another
farm adjoining, owned by the sauna
man, contains $50 acres that will ~
planted to rice Around II and through
II are shallow levies to the extent Of i5
or 20 miles, 10 build which costs from
s4O to $50 a mile At the end OF the
season this rice Is stored In sacks IN =
warehouse and held for a good markat
water is purchased from an irrigation
company the toll being two sacks d.
rice per acre per season. The Farms
are to be watered by their own artezian
"elis another season. The Port Arthur
folk expect a great boom from rice cul-
ture. Tho and used must have good
uraihage-from which the waters win
run rapidly as soon as the levles are
cut, and where the ground will ar onca
ury so hard that harvesting machines
ana horses may traverse it. There
should be a subsoil OF water-tight elay
ioroidding seepage when the water il
turned on the field In fact the fields
are then little better than sheets Of
water. While the industry Is growing
rapidly but really very small part Of
the available land is yet in use.

But the same way ] have trod;

Or, Take this way that leads &c

Find thou the way, with thy frail feet
Even as have found it, sweet.
cannot say Beware the thorn,'
Because above it climbs the rose;
Nor whisper. Light will follow

For stars will shine at daylignt's
close.
Find thou the light and darkness fleet,
Even as have found them, sweet!
And yet, for only thy dear sake.
The tenderest prayer that thrills my
breast
1t that the kind, good God shall make
world of roses for thy rest;
But thou must find, with thy dear feet
The thorn or rose as have, sweet!
To Eugene Field there was nothing
on earth so dear as a child. He loved
little children with all the love of a
warm and tender heart. His most pop
ular poems are those denneations of
the pretty and frequent incidents of
childhood. One of the most popular of
all is With Trumpet and Drum.
With big tin trumpet and little red
drum,
Marching, like soldiers the children
come;
This way and that way they circle and
file.
My! but that music of theirs is fine!
This way and that way. and after a
while
They march straight into this heart of
mine.
A sturdy old heart, but it has to sue
cumb
To the blare of that trumpet and beat
of that drum.
Fields lullaby songs of different ma
tons have never been excelled. Andrew
Lang, the Scottish critic, pronounces
Wynken, Blynken and Nod the best
child's poem in the English language
Probably no song is held so dear by
young and old as Little Boy Blue, writ
ten after the death of his baby boy II
is so lovely that give it here entire:
The little toy dog is covered with dust
But sturdy and staunch he stands:
And the little toy soldier is red with
rust
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was
new,
And the soldier was passing fair.
And that was the time when our little
Boy Blue
Kissed tnem and put them there.
Now don't you go till come" he said,
And don't you make any noise"
So toddiing off to his trundle bed
He dreampt of his pretty toys;
And as he was dreaming, an angel
song
Awakened our little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to little Boy Blue they
stand.
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand
The smile of little face,
And they wonder, as waiting these long
years through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of that little Boy
Blue
Since he kissed them and put them
there.
And finally, the tenderest words of
our Savior are : Suffer little children
to come unto me, and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven. q"
And, Again ] say unto you, that in
heaven their angels do always behold
the face of my Father Florence NJ.

= The CHILDREN and THE POETS &
sss sS2s a5Ss

The next morning after the death of
Eugene Field the front page of the At
lanta Constitution bore the picture of
the silent singer and underneath it this
tribute from the pen of Frank L. Stan
ton:
Fades his calm face beyond our mortal
ken,
Lost in the light of lovlier realms
above;
He left sweet memories in the hearts of
men,
And climbed to heaven on little chill
dren's love.
Harriet Hosmer, the artist, offered
this beautiful suggestion when they
were talking of a monument to the
memory of Field, the children's poet:
Il think" said she, the finest thing
would be life-size figure of the poet
sitting in chair supported by winged
muses.. Have him sitting in an attitude
of deep thought, as if waiting for an
inspiration, and little child at his
knee, touching his pen"
Is it not true that children have often
touched the pens of our poets as they
waited for an inspiration? Certain it is
that some of the most beautiful poems
in the English language were inspired
by childhood
