The government of New Zealand last
year -'abdi out about $4,000 for freez-
ing the butter intended for export.
AS the process cost three -eighths of a
cent pound, they must have export
ed over 100000 pounds. Next year
they propose that the farmer or ship
per shall pay one-half of this cost, that
they may use the money to promote
agricultural exports in some way or
other. They think that dhe farmers now
understand SO well the need a freez-
ing the butter that they will not hest
tate to pay at least half the cost of the
process, and their exports of dairy pro-
ducts are expected to increase.
Taking the recent developments in
the Castellane case as a text, the Phila-
delphia Times presents a severe class
arraignment, concluding: ''It is Ameri
can women who had opprtunity for cul-
ture and fer the most generous philan-
thropy that so beautifully alorns
American womanhood, who have
brought reproach and shame upon the
better women of this country. They
make marriage mere matter of COM
merce, and grasp the empty babble: of
foreign titles, thinking themselves
thereby honored, when they sacrifice
the last vestige of self-resDect of the
country and of the world. and all the
sanctity of home life where woman is
grandest in' her offices and achieve

Anyone who has had the pleasure of
being greeted boisterously by an affec-
tionate Great Dane can IMAGINE what
a powerful aid he would be to highway
robbers, if only some of them were
sharp enough to put one to such work.
1t has finally been done. and, of course,
in Paris. There is a gang of footpads
in that city which has been causing
much trouble, Its operations were
simple, but very effective The leader
of the gang owned huge Great Dane
named Turk. Turk would be taken out
in the evening with his pals, and when
the victim came along he would Jump
at him. OF course the victim would
go down in heap, and moreover would
be scared to death, although the dog
would never bite him. While down
and half unconscious with fright, the
gentlemen who owned the dog would
clean out his pockets This is a great
improvement on the lead pipe or sand
bag, because none of the victims suf-
fered except from fright and loss of
money and valuables.

now feels confirmed in the general principles to
which he gave his allegiance ten years ago. he

Hills. down into historical times. Caligula med
died with it. M Frazer speaks OF its surviving
into imperial ages but adds that 1t stands out
in striking isolation from the polished Italian
society OF the day like primeval rock rising
from a snooth-shayen lawn" The cult stands
out not only because il is prmevaI, but because
il Is peculiarly barbarous. It was served 10y

he was recognized as king = runaway slave

after the same fashion. The strange rule Of
this priesthood" says Mr.. Frazer. has no par
alel in classical antiquity. and cannot be ex-
planned from it. To find explanation We must
go farther afield" Hence his book. and hence
we may add some Establishments for students
Of classical mythology.
Mr. Frazer's eager search would naturally be
for barbarous customs like that Of the Arican
grove wherever he could find them. He runs
them TO earth among savages So far all is
plain sailing. But an anthropological research

darkness which must be bridged, il al ALL by

work first appeared that the crudities OF the
primitive savage cannot yet be fairly put in the
place Of those ideas Of the gods which were
held by the far higher intellects of later but
still pagan eras. This. however. does nothing
10 invalidate the ingenuity and insight with
which Mr.. Frazer has gone far TO elucidate the
secret Of the Arician cult.
Some Of his differences may be overbold. but
he has shed foods OF light the probable sig
nifcance Of the Golden Boush and its priest.
Roughly stated. the chain Of argument is plausi-
ble. The savage dinly feels the presence of a
divine power in the sun. He lights his fire by
rubbing two sticks together. Obviously the sun
god is in the wood: obviously the tree from
which the wood came is his earthly tenement
out OF this situation arises tree worship. and
what more natural than that the hierophant Of
that worship should be qualified for his high
Office by such contact with the tree as shall

Her belief was that he had refused the story

Ny firm belief is that when next you publish a

Then she went another tack Mr.. BaIfOur,'

Rowley case:

George Refs. Richard Reouter
Thaddeus O.Thorpe Frank NJ Schwartz
Richard NJ. Noonan.
AS soon as the jury had been selected
the attorneys for the defense moved that
the Indictment against Bourne be quasn-
ed. They argued that it held him upon
two counts and that this was contrary
to the statute under which the Indictment
was drawn up. Ho is charged in the in
dictment with auditing a false claim, and
making false claim, two separate
charges.
Judge Bum denied the motion, and
then the defense insisted that Bourne
could only be tried for one crime under
one indictment, and the prosecution ad-
mitted this fact and withdrew the second
charge in the Indictment. Thus Bourne
is being tried on the charge of auditing a
false claim.
The early part of the afternoon was
spent in arguing these malcers, and it
was nearly O'Clock when the state call
ed it's first witness. He proved to be Fred
l.. Breen, deputy register of deeds.
Breen was on the stand about an hour
and during his testimony the state in.
troduced a number of books and records
OF the auditors office, as state exhibits.
Mr.. Breen was called upon to identify
the books as proper records of the office
and to refer to certain pages showing the
fling of bonds and certificates of cleo
ton and oaths of office of Walter B..
Bourne, w. S. Johnson and E. NJ. Sulli-
van. The defense objected to these books
