Our several Postal schedules.

Il is pointed out that at the present
time the United States and Territor-
les and Colonies Of America are af-
fiicted with five separate and different
postal schedules. These are % the
domestic American system, which is
familiar to most of us; CD the Porto
Rlcan system, which is the same as
our own for letters, but VITA a higher
rate for fourtb-class matter; go the
Hawaiian system. the Hawaiian rates
within the islands and foreign rates
with the United States; "a the Gu
ban system, with a modification of the
Old Spanish system in the interior and
foreign rates between the island and
the United States; co the Philippine
system. within the islands as the
Spanish left il, but with domestic let.
ter. newspaper and parcel rates be
tween the archipelago and the United
States. There are n great many peo-

USE OF DOGS IN WAR.
Result Of the Experiments Made BY
the German Army.

the German Army.
The use Of dogs in war dates back
10 the Greeks and Romans, but the
modern idea of training them for spe-
cial military service was born in 1886
in Germany. and for the past 10 or IL
years each battalion OF German jag
ers has had eight or ten dogs assigned
10 II for this training. The two or
three dogs thus falling 70 each COM
pany are placed under the care OF a
noncommissioned officer and two
nen. and each regiment has an officer
detailed to snperintend their instruc-
ion.
The dog is TO be used for various
special duties, such as the service Of
information and security or scouting,
on marches and Reconnaissance and
10 patrol, sentinel duty with the out
rOsts, as messengers on both these
duties, as carriers OF supplies and am
mnitiOn on the battlefield, and to
hunt up the wounded after battle.
To test the results thus far obtained
n number of dogs belonging to various
REGIMENTS were assembled at Gels. in
Prussian Silesia, in last July for trial.
There were sixteen dogs In all, six OF
them under two years old. They were
tried on the following points: Conduct
as watch dog, return from patrol to
master, going from master to patrol,
following master by scent alone, and
living down. The first point was test.
ell by placing the dog with his master
at an outpost giving only a limited
view and then causing two jagers Tin
enemy's uniform) to approach under
cover from a point about 400 yards
distant. The second and third points
were tested by seno-ng four dogs al
one time from an outpost Tor patrol)
70 four different sentinels. then bach
again to the outpost Tor patroD, back
again to the sentinel. and once more
to the outpost Tor patrol), the latter
having meanwhile changed its posi-
ton.
The various points we're giver
values, and one Of the dogs received
90 out OF q possible 100. The dog
were OF different breeds and crosses
but the best we're collies and shep
herd dogs. The average rate Of ira
vel OF the dogs as messengers wal
about 9ik miles an hour.-N. Y. Sun

IHE ORIGIN Of LIFE FOUND
So Professor Loeb of Chicago
University Says.
STARTLING EXPERIMENTS

Startling Experiments-1hey Seem 10
Show That All Animal Life May Be
Propaeated by Artificial Means
Believes in Immaculate Conception.
Has science at last discovered the
principle of life? Is it possible for man
10 create life by artificial means? Prof.
Jacques Loeb. of the University Of Chi
cago, after months of careful expert
mentation in the Marine Biological
Laboratory, at Woods Holl. Mass. has
made an assertion that has startled the
scientific world. His assertion Is this
That by chemical means he has sue
ceeded in Matching the unfertilized eggs
OF marine animals
That he has developed the larvae so
Matched into healthy animals, capable
OF exercising all the functions Of nor
mally developed animals.
That by a series Of experiments he
"a led to believe this can be done with
ma;nmalians, including the human spe-
cies.
The experiments which led Professor
Loeb TO make this announcement were
performed at the laboratory at Woods
| lIoll during the last summer and fall
Professor Norman, Of Texas University
had already shown that the eggs Of
certain marine animals when unfertil.
lied, had q tendency to develop wher
sodium or magnesium was added 20 tbs
sea water In which they were. Follow.
ing this out Professor Loeb began ex.
peiiments with the sea urchin. a com.
mon marine animal, the male and re.
male Of which as OF fishes. are separat,
individuals.
Tho unfertilized eggs of this ANNA
professor Loeb subjected to a solution
y " sodium and magnesium and within
TWO hours they Matched. producing
"biastiilae." or the first larvae. Place,
Z In normal sea water these developed in
10 "gastrulae" and then into ''plutei.

"HE LEADETH ME-"

Written for THE NEWS by Laura S.
In pastures green? Not always! Some
times He
Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth
me
Inweary ways where heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunlight, warm and soft and
bright,
Out of the sunlight, into darkest night,
I oft would faint with sorrow and af-
fright,
Only for this | know He holds my
hand!
So, whether in the green or desert
land
thrust, although may not understand.
And by still waters? No, not always
Oft-times the heavy tempests round me
And DER my soul the waves and bill
lows go.
But when the storm beats loudest, and
cry
Aloud for help, the Master standeth
by
And whispers to my soul, Lo! it is L.
Above the tempest wild hear Him
say
Beyond this darkness lies the perfect
day"
SIN every path of thine, l lead the
way"
So, whether on the hill-tops high and
fair
/ dwell, or in the sunless valleys
where
The shadows lie-what matter? He is
there.
Aad more than this-Where e'er the
pathway lead,
He gives to me no broken, helpless
reed,
But His own hand, sufficient for my
need.
So when he leads me, l can safely go
And in the blest hereafter l shall
know
WHY, in His wisdom, He has led me

Specific Against Alcoholism.

1t is reported from Paris that
DR.. Sappeller and DR.. Thebault
officially announced to the Acad-
emy of Medicine at a recent
meeting that in collaboration with
M. Broca, the chemist, they had
discovered and experimental
with serum constituting a specific
against alcoholism. This serum
is said to be extracted from the
veins of a horse which has pre-
viously been alcoholized, and is
so efficacious that it inspires a

PLEASANT GROVE.

Being a reader of your valuable
paper, and not seeing in it any
thing from this place for awhile,
| will send you the following:
Mrs. Sarah A. Smith is still on
the sick list.
Rev. S. L. Baugher, of Virginia,
recently closed a ten days meet
ing at Pleasant Grove church.
There was, | think, much good
accomplished. Sinners were made
to tremble on account of their
shortcomings; and some that had
become weary in well doing, "
renewed their covenant with
Christ and the church and start
ed on new life. or
Brother Baugher is a yS1lng
man of more than ordinary illbil-
ity and possessed of much spir-
itual power. May he live long to
do good.
Rev. Troutman, the church S
regular pastor, assisted part of
the time.

BARN BURNED.

The barn of the Upper Path
Valley Presbyterian parsonage,
the church of which charge is To-
Gated at Spring Run, Franklin
county, was totally destroyed by
fire Thursday evening, 18th ult.
The parsonage occupied by the
Rev. Thomas Dobbin and family,
is located between Spring Run
and Dry Run, about mile south
of the latter village.
The fire originated about four
o'clock, likely from a spark from
the saw mill engine about 200
yards distant.
A large crowd of people assem-
bled and did all possible to save
the property. 1t was with great
difficulty that the parsonage, a
fine, large brick building, and the
home of Mrs. Barclay close by,
were saved.
Rev. Dobbin's horse was not in
the barn and all the vehicles were
saved, but about two tons of hay,
so bushels of corn and some oats
were burned. The building was
covered by insurance.
