ONE CAUSE FOR PRIDE.
A DIue Ridge Mo ntaineer Who Could
Pray BETTER 7 han He Could Do
Anything Else.

The mountaineers of the Blue Ridge
are illterate in secular learning, but
YOU seldom find household that is
not well posted in Scripture history.
While they may not be able to read
the text, they can quote passages from
the Old and New Testament without
number, are eager for theological con-
troyersy, are powerful eXhorters and
fervent in prayer. Some Of the most
effective preachers can scarcely read
or write. Their language is rude, but
inspired by deep emotion. Northern
people have told me that the most elo-
quent prayers they ever listened TO
were offered by uncouth, uneducated
mountaineers. That is a matter of
pride with them. Men who can pray
eloquen.ly and carry on theological
controversies with credit are quite a 4
highly esteemed as those who excel in
the use of the rife or in athletic sports,
says w +. Curtis, in the Chicago Rec.
ord-IIeIald. :
One day o. boy who Mad been taken
up by charitable family to be fed
and clothed and educated in proper
way was being discussed with some
visitors. Forgetting that the child
was present, his benefactor describe d
the squalid home that he came from,
the poverty, the ignorance and the pri-
Vations Of his parents. The boy was
not without pride and loyalty to his
own family, and, looking up with a
determined spirit, he said:
"Mrs. Phillips, did you ever hear my
father pray?"
"No," the woman answered in sur.
prise; "does he pray well?"
"Well,'' replied the boy, confidently
II reckon he can pray better'n he can
DO anything else"

curious document some time ago as he
was looking through bundle of pa
pers that date back to the eighteenth
century. The document is receipt

istence-which was given to Hanu-
verian captain by a canon of DuisburS
during the Seven Years war

The Chinese Cuisine.

Though Chinese cuisine has been
credited with some utterly fabulous
dishes, such as white mice served
alive, which add piquancy by their
squeak as they dive down the guilet,
curiosities in the edible line do form
considerable list
Birds nest soup. for instance; a
clear soup made from the refined
gluten with which a certain species
of swallow fasten their nests beneath
the rocks: stewed .'sea slugs," another
nasty sounding dish, but transcending
in flavor the aldermanic green turtle
fat. There may be. too. on first intro
duction, some prejudice against fried
grasshoppers. But courage in this in
stance is rewarded by deliciously
crisp, brown mouthful, of delicate
nutty flavor.
1T is fallacy TO suppose that pork
forms a constant article of diet in
China. AS matter of fact. it is too
expensive and is only eaten on high
days and holidays or at restaurants.
Neither do milk, beef or game entel
much into Chinese cookery, the first
two being tabooed on religious grounds
Dog flesh is eaten in the south but
rarely and only by the poorest Of the
poor.-Blackwood

Trigonometry In X RAY Work.


"Few people know" said DR.. J. G..
Egelston while performing an opera
ton at the City hospital, that it takes
trigonometry to locate bullet in the
body. But in every Y ray operation
In which the bullet or foreign sub
stance is deeply imbedded mathemat-
ical computation is necessary to show
just how deep the bullet is. The X
rays make the flesh transparent. leav-
ing only the bones and foreign sub
stance visible. so that you see Just
where the bullet is, and yet you don't
know where it is. You know it's lati-
tude and longitude, so to speak, but
those measurements are surface meas
urements. and you don't known how
deep the object is beneath the surface.
The point on the surface of the body
beneath which the bullet is can be
readily located, but how far beneath
that point is the bullet?
This is the question that trigonome-
try has to answer. and by knowing the
answer a great deal of Unnecessary
cutting may be saved, and what might
otherwise be Il difficult and dangerous
operation may be rendered compare
lively safe and easy. If the bullet en-
ters one side of the body, for instance,
and lodges within an inch or two of
the skin on the other side, the other
side of the body would be the one from
which to operate. kansas City Jour-

pany been fimflammed, or was the
state board of equalization operated on
in that manner? According to the
tax attorneys of the roads the total
valuation of the three roads was some
sou, 900, 600. But the Northern Securi-
ties company accepts the valuation of
81, O17, 100000 without the culver Of a
lip or the bat of an eye.
The state board of equalization can
not afford to do an injustice to these
roads. AS no business man likes to
have his credit impaired by underrat-
ing, it is natural that railroad
should object to such process. In view
of the possibility that the Northern
Securities company may even now
back out of the deal on account of the
low valuatio" placed on these roads by
our state board of equalization, on ac-
count OF misinformation from ignorant
tax attorneys, we hope the board will
hasten to correct the assessments.
The action of the Northern Securities
company speaks a few tones louder
than the words of the tax attorneys.
