song birds should be protected" as
assuredly they should be. 1t is be-
lieved, however. that state laws would
be but partially effective. In this con-
nection 1t can be stated that United
States Senator Hoar has introduced a
bill that prohibits foreign or interstate
commerce In birds, feathers or parts
of birds for ornamental purposes or
for any purpose except food. although
1t permits the importation of living
birds and of feathers taken from living
birds without injury to the bird. The
passage of such a measure by congress
would no doubt do much toward abat-
ing the evil of fashions cruel dictum.
Back of all legislation moreover, there
should be quickening Of the public
conscience against the use of dead song
birds on women's hats, and to this end
there should be the establishment of
Audubon societies generally through
out the country.

In an editorial in the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post Hayden Car.
ruth says that the silk hat is getting
out of date. He says that the burden
OF living up to silk hat Is greater
than the average man can bear; that
to live consistently up to 1t man must
spend at least $1,000 year Many
men have tried 1t, only to fail and die
bankrupt. The silk hat, in Mr.. Car
ruth's opinion, ought not to stand upon
the order Of its going. but go at once,

very popular here In Georgia. Recent

Blank wills.

Among the many things which the
British government provides for its
soldiers ares blank forms for q win.
According to Harper's Weekly, 'the
war office supplies every soldier that
goes to the front with three blank
forms Of wills-the first for the man
who wishes to leave all his property
to one person, the second for those
who wish to bequeath Iegacies to sew
eral persons and the third for use Of
married soldiers desiring to leave prop
erty to their wives and children.
'The British soldier. like most other
people, usually neglects to make his
will until the very last moment and
frequently waits until wounded or dy-
ing upon the field. 1t is said that for
merly the men would scribbIe their
will In few words on some stray BIT
OF paper or on the inside OF a helmet.
the lid OF cartridge box or perhaps
on stone lying near by"
The idea Is good one. and the Phil
Adelphia Medical Journal suggests that
'ff hospitals and emergency physi-
clans as well as soldiers were provid-
ed with such blanks they might prove
OF great convenience In many cases Of
emergency and severe illness. and legal
complications might many times be
avoided by their use"

HypnOtBm and Warfare.

When Mesmer made the somewhat
alarming discovery that by a few
waves Of ones hand one could control
the mental and plysical being of an
other, so that all the actions of that
other would be at the beck and nod of
the master mind, he could have had no
idea to how great an extent his dis
covery would be developed. Eypno-
tism, the foster child of mesmer. 'm, is
undoubtedly one of the greatest mar.
vels of the century. Indeed, If one
can believe all that one reads, hypno-
tism is the universal panacea, the long
looked for restorer Of the moral ,equi-
librium Of the world. We learn on emf
nent authority that by means of hypno-
tism criminals can be cured of their
sinful tendencies. inordinate cravings
for drugs can be eradicated and pain
and misery banished from mankind.
On the other hand, 1t Is argued by
some that just as it may be made all

tool for evil In the hands-beg pardon.

Take the war in South Africa. for

hypnotic action that offers. A few

the Cape and by some dexterous sug,

According to the Pueblo Daily Chief
tain, the state of Utah is likely to come
to the front as an iron producing sec
ton, important discoveries of this met
al having recently been made in the
extreme southwestern portion of the
commonwealth. 1t is stated, further
more. that extensive coalfields are
likely to be developed in the same re-
gion. Thus again Is illustrated the
proposition that nature seldom makes
mistakes. Where minerals are found
fuel for the reduction of the ores is
usually discovered close at hand. The
active demand for iron has greatly
stimulated prospecting and other
fields will doubtless be discovered in
the mountain states. There seems to
be no ground whatever for apprehen-
sion of an iron famine.

indescribable gesture and untranslata-
bic infection, "he Is not dead. He is
living in the eternal mansions Of glory
with his Lord"
But the news was borne from lip to
lip, He is deadw And that is the
way men speak of the body. And they
were right. The body of Philip was
dead. And the Brother Man was right
also, for Philip himself was alive in
glory, and as they bore the tabernacle
Of his flesh out of Calvary church that
day that was all they bore. His soul
was out Of the reach of humanity's
selfishness and humanity's sorrow.
They said that when the funeral of
Philip Strong's body was held in Mil
ton rugged, unfeeling men were seen
to cry like children in the streets A
great procession, largely made up Of
the poor and sinful followed him to
his wintry grave. They fingered long
about the spot. Finally every one
withdrew except Sarah, who refused
to be led away by her friends, and VIII
liam and the Brother Man. They
stood looking down into the grave.
"He was very young to die so soon,"
at last Sarah said, with a calmness
that was more terrible than bursts of
grief.
$50 was Christ" replied Brother
Man simply.
"But, oh, Philip, Philip, my beloved,
they killed him. she cried. And at
last, for she had not wept yet, great
tears rolled down into the grave, and
uncomfortable anguish seized her.
Brother Man did not attempt to con-
sole or interrupt He knew she was
In the arms Of God. After long time
he said; "Yes, they crucified him. But
he is with his Lord now. Let us be
glad for him. Let us leave him with
the Eternal Peace"
When the snow had melted from the
hillside and the first arUutus was be-
ginning to bud and even blossom, one
day some men came out to the grave
and put up plain stone at the head.
After the men had done this work they
went away. One of them fingered. He
was the wealthy mill owner. He stood
with his hat in his hand and his head
bent down. his eyes resting on the
words carved into the stone. They were
these:
PHILIP STRONG.
Pastor Of Calvary Church.

Towering DER the wrecks Of time;
All the light OF sacred story

Mr.. Winter looked at the incomplete
line, and then, as he turned away and
walked slowly back down into Milton,

finish the rest for him"
All. Philip Strong! The sacrifice was
not in vain! The resurrection is not tar

And still the church Of Christ upon the earth
