Congress, by ratifying the cession
act of the Tennessee Legislature,
which fixed the Virginia-Tennessee
boundary line in the middle of Main
street in the town of Bristol, has Gre
ated a situation some features of
which are decidedly curious Exactly
in the centre of that street there runs
n car track, one rail of which is now
in virginia and one in Tennessee, so
tho question as to which of the two
States Il passenger in that company's
cars is travelling through depends on
which side of the car lie happens to
find q seat. If he stands up he can
be in both States at the same time.
And if he moves from one side to the
other he will have to set his watch
backward or forward a whole hour If
he wants it to show the legal time of
day. for the State boundary is the d.
viding line between two standard time
zones. Other difficulties and confu-
sions are sure to manifest themselves
to tile citizens of Bristol, and they are
likely to find their position even more
Inconyenient than interesting.

1t is a pretty idea that which q
Londoner has submitted to the parks
committee of that city. He would
have butterflies introduced into Lon
don parks. He would have in each OF
the larger parks small Plantations of
ncttles on which thu eggs or the young
grubs of the butterflies should be
placed and so protected that the birds
cannot get at the caterpillars. With
practically no expense, the city folk
would be able to enjoy the graceful,
futtering insect as well as those that
live in the country. He recommends
three species that are hardy and very
prolific and especially well adapted for
such a purpose, the caterpillars being
Of the hairy kind unpalatable to most
birds, the red admiral" the pea
cock" and the tortoise shell"

The Man Who Had Five Daughters.

A citizen OF Higginsyille, Mo-, who
had five daughters saw one of them
married to 4 gentleman named Short.
The next was wcoed and won by a
man named Brown. Two young gen.
tlemen named Poor and Little led the
third and fourth daughters to the al
tar, and not long ago, If one of our
Western contemporaries tells the
truth, the youngest Of the little flock
gave her heart and hand to an esti-
maDle citizen of the name OF HoSS.
Everything passed off pleasant. until
the guests were Dartaking Of the wed
ding supper, when the disconsolate
father got up and said:
"I have taken pains to educate my
daughters that they might act well
their part in life. and now find that
all my expectations have come to
nothing out a Poor, Little, Short,
Brown, Hogg."

A Dangerous Occupation.

The occupation CT the miner is dan
serous both from its liability to acci-
dent and from his inevitable suscepti-
bility to certain dread diseases. No
other class of men suffer so heavily
from consumption, and the life under
ground is apt to produce blindness
and ague. Paralysis follows If work
is persisted in after these ailments
first manifest themselves. Sometimes
the loss of reason is the next step. In
lead, copper, and quicksilver mines the
results are even more disastrous. Min
eral poison becomes injected into the
system, and besides originating blind
ness and paralysis. causes the teeth to
fall out, while copper canker," as
it is called, eats into the flesh in pre-
cisely the same way as does leprosy.
Coal miners are the healthiest Of all
miners. They are unusually free from
phthisis, and they suffer inapprecia-
bly, from alcoholism. In recent years,
too, the liability among coal miners to
accident has decreased very consider
ably.

Religion and Patriotism.

"The higher powers govern
ments-says our Scripture lesson, ARE or
dained Of God" They are designed as as "a a
the sword is termed "a minister OF God,
and avenger for wrath to him that doeth
evil" The function of government Is to
maintain righteousness; yea, to represent
God. =,
Religion and patriotism are inseparable.
One cannot be deeply and genuinely, a pa
triot without being religious, nor religious
without being a patriot. Under despot-
ism or absolute monarchy the problem
might not represent God, and patriotism,
true love of country might demand resist.
ance.
Our Scripture implies that the govern
ment is just. In democracy the people
make the government, they, themselVess
are the "higher powers" The governed
ment. is self government. The problems
of patriotism are thus very direct and per,
sonal. Every voter is responsible to God
for his vote; every woman even, for her
influence in training and nurturing voters.
Religion, then, as showing itself through
patriotism must see to it:
l. That government represents God.
It must be true to the principles of reli-
gion-these are the bases of all right liv-
ing. The Pilgrims knew this when they
founded their republic: on Christianity
They made their civil law to conform to
divine law. The Christian patriot must
ries, must take politics out of the saloon,
must bring God.fearing men to the front,
must dethrone selfshness, the tyranny OF
corrupt wealth, must not allow govern
ment-municipal or national-to to become
the property of a few fnanciers.- Pere
Hyacinth, from his renowned pulpit in
France, once said of the United States:
''The light of this nation is in its faith in
Jesus Christ" It is for the: Christian citi-
zens of each generaton:,to make this say
ing forever true of our beloved land.
Z. Christian patriotism land there is no
other) cannot evade taxes. Pay ye trl6-
ute also" Tribute to whom tribute Is
due; custom to whom custom" Nothing
is more unpatriotic, un:ehristlan, unher9ic PIC
than the constant evasion of taxation by
individual and corporate wealth. 1t IS
mean and cowardly also for people in at
fuence to throw such excessive and IN
creasing burdens on the poor. Public con-
science needs quickening on this question
Decay and revolution are bred whenever
wealth becomes selfish, heartless and cor
rupt.
8. Patriotism requires obedience to law.
"Be subject to the higher powers" One
of the greatest perils of cur nation is the
srf ere freely ignored. Public opinion will
not enforce them. Evils are permitted
which the laws prohibit. 'EHe that resist
eth the ordinance resisteth God" Paul was
right. Men are fighting God who trans
gress the righteous civil laws which for.
bid Sabbath desecration, profanity, i'm.
morality and intemperance. Patriotism
must show its genuineness in maintaining
law, in antagonizing public evil, in eXalt-
ing civic Righteousness. This must all be
done "for conscience sake" for obedience
to conscience is the law both Of religion
and true patriotism.-Ne York Observer
