CHURCH ooUsTERs GROWING
Were Never So Many Before, Says
the Rev. Or. Saxaos.

New York special: DIR. Minot j. Saw
age. speaking in the Church of the Mes
siah on 1.-The Abolition of DEATH Is
quoted as saying:
IF we propose TO be quite honest n
frank with ourselves we must admit one
fact--that there never, since the dawn
of Christianity, were so many people
doubling concerning the future life as
there are now; not ignorant nor bad peo-
pie, but the best there are, or as good as
there are; they are readers, thinkers, per-
sons acquainted with philosophy and
science, who have studied history, looked
into ecclesiastical traditions. This is the
attitude of thousands, and the number Is
growing.
IF a person asks me If l think there Is
satisfactory eyidence that the body of
Jesus was raised from the dead | must be
frank and say 7 do not. No case In a
modern court could be carried through
successfully unless there were In its ia
vor better evidence than we have for the
resurrection of Jesus. There is no first
hand testimony of anybody to that fact,
and we know perfectly well that If we
had the testimony of a hundred or a thou
sand 10 a similar fact as taking place to-
day 1t would weigh with us very little.
But believe with my whole soul that
Jesus was seen alive after the c~rucihXion,
and out of that belief might very easily
arise the belief that the body had risen.
l do not believe there is anything in the
fact Of death that changes us more than
going TO sleep last night and waking up
his morning. / believe death is another
kind of birth; that we graduate from this
life, take the next step in an e~Ver-advanc"
ing career of progress, and that we are

A Nasty Practice.

A nasty practice Is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the pasting Of re-
peated layers of wall paper, one upon
another, thus covering up the filth and
germs Of disease that may be propa-
gated in the very absorbent and de-
caying mass of flour paste, paper,
animal glue, colors, etc.
They give opinions Of eminent
health officers and sanltarlans, urging
that such practice should be stopped
by legal enactment, and also take oc-
casion to say that these sanitarians
recommend Alabastine as n durable,
pure and sanitary coating for walls.
The Inter Ocean says: This Is a
very important question, and. as 1t
costs nothing to avoid this danger,
why take any chancesT
How much OF the alarming spread
OF smallpox and other diseases may be
due to unsanitary wall coverings?

CHAPTER XXI.
THE ATTACK

AS soon as Silver disappeared, the
captain, who had been closely watch
ing him, turned toward the interior Of
the house, and found not a mar OF us
at his post but Gray. 1t was the first
time we had yer seen him angry.
quarters he roared. And then, as
we all skunk back to our places, Gray"
he said, I'm put your name in the log;

Mr.. Trelawney, I'm surprised at

The Doctors watch were all back at
their loop-holes, the rest were busy
loading the spare muskets and every
one with a red face, you may be certain
and a flea in his ear, as the saying is.
Tie captain looked on for awhile in

Then he went the rounds, and saw,
as he said, that all was clear.
On the two short sides of the house,
east and west, there were only two
lo~op-holes; on the south side where
the porch was, two again; and on the
north side, five. There was a round
score of muskets for the seven of us;
the firewood had been built into four
p~iles-tables, you might say-one
about the middle Of each side, and on
each Of these tables some ammunition
and four loaded muskets were laid
ready to the hand of the defenders. In
the middle, the cutlasses lay ranged.
Toss put the fire." said the captain;
'the chill is past, and we mustn't have
smoke in u eyes"
The iron fire basket was carried
bodily out by Mr.. Trelawney. and the
embers smothered among sand.
Hawkins hasn't had his breakfast.
Hawkins, help yourself, and back to
your post to eat it," continued Captain
Smollett. Lively, now, my lad: you'll

And while this was going on the cap

plan of the defense.

resumed. See and don't expose your

easily and that will prove as profitable
as dalrying and cattle raising. With
the modern methods now TO be en-
ployed this is the least laborious Tor
the amount OF profit obtained. Be-
sides Ii Is a source or profit the year
round. 1t Is an easy matter to earn
from $500 to $1,000 more on a farm in
this manner, as has been proved very
c~onclusively by the eastern farmer.
Many OF the farmers In this section are
adopting the methods Of selling their
cream and feeding their calves on the
warm skim milk while II still contains
the animal heat, which is made possible
by the use of the hand cream separator.
The picture reproduced here shows a
bunch OF calves raised by Mr.. Smith
OF Beresford. s. d., on skim milk from
q United States hand cream separator.
Besides Mr.. Smith received over $500
during the yea from cream taken from
the milk upon which these calves were
raised. Calves raised In this manner
will bring just as much in any mar
ket as calves hat have been allowed to
run with the cows.
Some have tried raising calves on
skim milk and have made a failure OF
IL, but their method was as much at
fault as the method OF permitting the
calves to run with the cows. They
hauled the whole milk to the creamery
and had sour skim milk returned to
them, upon which their calves did not
thrive. This method Is not nearly so
good even when the skim milk re-
turned is sweet, because II does not
contain the animal heat. The hand
cream separator does away with the
only objection 10 raising calves in this
manner, thereby making IL the most
valuable and profit producing machine
on the farm. The majority Of cream
cries prefer the cream to the whole
milk when the cream Is properly
handled.
A word about hand cream separators
here might not be out of order. Mr..
Smith, who raised this bunch Of calves,
used a United States Hand Cream Sep
