Religious Spirit of the Beers NOur-
ished by Old Testament study.

Religious Spirit of the Beers Nour-
ished by Old Testament study.
The following translation from The
Lutherische Kirchenzeitung by The
Literary Digest describes the religion
Of the Beers in the Transvaal:
The state church of the Transvaal is
the Dutch Reformed, and to it belong
the greater portion of the population,
fully $4,000. The latest statistics ac-
cessible give Is, 100 adherents TO other
branches of the Dutch church, 6,5S1
to the Episcopal 0he figure is now con-
siderably higher. 1866 to the Wesley
an Methodists, 5000 to the Catholics
and 1900 to other Christian denomina-
tons. These statistics are of the white
population only.
Not only the president, but also the
members of both legislative branches,
must belong to the Protestant church.
The meetings of the vOlksraad, or par
lament, must, according TO law. be
opened and closed with prayer. With
the exception of few special kinds of
labor it is strictly forbidden to do any
work on Sunday.
In general the Beers are characteriz-
ed by 4 pronounced traditional piety
of the Reformed type. 1t is chiefly
nourished by the study of the Old
Testament, especially of the historical
books, and loves to employ and initiate
Old Testament examples and pictures.
In genuine BOer family the Bible lies
upon the center table, and every day is
opened and closed with family prayer.
a collection OF sermons is taken along
when on a journey, and public services
are attended regularly, even if at great
sacrifice and trouble. AS the farms
are large and the people widely scat
tered public services can often be held
at irregular intervals only, as one pas
tor often has charge Of hundreds of
square miles of territory. Great inter-
est is accordingly attached to the regu-
lar quarterly meetings, when not a
member of the family, except the sick.
fails to appear. On such occasions a
Vast multitude of wagons surround the
church, and the celebration of the
Lords supper is frequently followed by
services that last for several days. The
Boer regards himself as specially hon
ored if the dOmiuie. for whom he has
great respect, visits his house. Then
the HelSnDOTS are CdIleu III, anu puDlIC
services are held.
The orthodox Beers are divided into
two communions, the Afgeschedene, or
Doppers. who in their services make
use of no hymns but the Psalms and
who in general are of a stricter deport-
ment than the second sect, who make
use of other hymns. President Kruger
belongs to the Doppers, and there can
be no doubt of his earnest Christian
convictions.

ADVANCES IN SCIENCE.
Discoveries In Anwsthetics An
nOunced In New Haven.

Three important announcements
We're made at the other days session
of the convention of the scientific
men at New Haven. Professor T. u.
Aldrich of Detroit described his new
anpsthetic, chlorentone, a compound
from chloroform and acetone in crys-
tails, which can be administered inter
nally. 1t produces anPsthesia without
the injurious effects which come in the
moments of lapsing consciousness I'M
der the inhalation process. Professor
Scripture of Yale presented a state
men of progress in producing an9sthe-
STA by electricity.
1t is possible with his invention at it's
present stage to deaden sense in the
arm so that pins may be stuck in it
without pain, says the New York Sun.
He has not yet made the current effect
i've in the presence of moisture so as
to make it available in dentistry. DR..
Jay W. Seaver exhibited to the meet
ing of the gymnasium directors n new
measuring instrument to determine to
the eXactness of a millimeter the in
clination of the pelvic arch.
DIR. w. q. Anderson urged the neces-
sity of the appointment of a faculty
supervisor of athletics in colleges,
such as Walter Camp is to be for
Yale" and also favored the require
ment of careful medical examination
of all athletes while in training and
before every contest. Before the psy-
biologists DR.. Z. *. Thorndyke of Co
lumbia and DR.. R. S. Woodwork of
Bellevue hospital reported on expert
ments on The Influence of Special
Training on General Ability"
They concluded that such training
leads to practically no gain in ability
apart from the one particular line in
which drill is given. DIR. Max Meyer
of New York presented Elements of a
Psychological Theory of Music" a new
musical method which depends on a
scale of IL related tones. Professor
Sanford of the Yale department of mu-
sic expressed himself as profoundly
interested in the working out of this
new theory. Professor W. S. Monroe,
before the Folklore society, traced
the Counting Out Rhymes of Chill
dren" as survivals of the mumbled
charms of sorcerers among savage and
barbarian peoples.
The conventions of all the scientific
associations closed the other day.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.

Rock Islander Favors introduction of One
In This City.
A Rock Island bank attache, in talk
ing to an ARGUS reporter, said:
Il have noticed with much interest
and satisfaction the success with
which school savings banks have been
operated since their Introduction in
this country in 1885. Mrs. S. L.
Oberholtzer, general uperintendent
of school savings banks, has said
the savings deposited by the pupils of
our schools in the United States since
the system was adopted, according to
our tabulated statistics, have been
$3.50. 319.5S. Tacoma, Wash, took
up the system March. 1898, and the
cbildren's deposits are now 81, 200.
As nation, we know better how to
earn money than to save it, in strong
contrast to the French, of whom it
has been said that it was from the
stockings of the peasantry that she
paid her war indemnity. The diff
Guilty of teaching thrift to men and
women who are ignorant Oflits first
essentials is great but in children we
have unwrought material and can rs
readily impress them indelibly with
the habit OF economy as with arlthme-
tic and geography; and realizing this.
France leads with about % 600 school
savings banks.
at is the universal testimony that
it is with children as it is with adults
money once saved is withdrawn
only after careful consideration.
Many temptations to wasteful expen-
diture are successfully resisted. They
have had am object lesson. Contin-
ued through several years this be-
comes habit that will prove invalu-
able 10 them in after life. and more
firmly fixed than all the laws and
prophets could accomplish by preach
ing ON economic laws. With every
child in the land saving, instead of
throwing away its pennies on tritles,
the whole economic problem of the
country might be solved in genera
ton, to say nothing of the actual
amount saved and the habit engen-
dered of saving. The system is sim
pie and would require very little ex-
ira labor on the part of the teacher.
Rock Island would certainly be taking
a step in the right direction if she
adopted the system of school savings
banks

A rather curious incident occurred at
the home of Levi Lee in New Angus
tine, Fla, the other night. He was
awakened from slumber by unusual
noises from the direction of his pigpen.
There seemed to be a scuffle. accompa-
MED by terrific squeals from the pigs.
Mr.. Lee FASTENED to the spot. and as he
approached the pen he saw an i'm
mense raccoon struggling through an
aperture in the fence, says the Florida
Times-Union and Citizen. The coon
could scarcely move. and upon investi-
cation it was found that it's hind quar-
tiers had been severed from the body.
The creature was soon put ont of mis-
cry. and a further investigation reveal
ed the fact that the coon had been in a
fight with an old sow. which had par
tally. eaten the smaller animal.
