QUITS PULPIT FOR A BEAT.
Indiana Minister, from Noble sense
of DUTY, becomes Night
Waterman.

Many robbcries in and around Gull
YER, Ind. and the prevalence of
drunkenness led the residents few
days ago to authorize the employ
ment of a night Waterman, but when
the time came to select the man no
one would take the place, although
subscriptions had been Literally made
and the remuneration promised to be
good. Rev. George Smith, pastor of
the Church of God, appealed to the
patriotism of the people from his
pulpit, but still no one responded.
Finally the minister rendered his res
ignation and announced that he
would accept the position of night
Waterman, at least till order was re-
stored in the community. lie armed
himself, secured authority from the
council, and is now doing police duty.
Disorder has greatly decreased.

HELEN GOULD'S HOTHOUSES.
The Rare Plants Contained Therein
Nearly Perish Because Of the
Coal Famine.

The costly plants in the conserva-
tories of Miss Helen Gould at Irving
ton-on- the-liudson had a narrow es-
cape from being ruined for lack of
coal to keep the houses warm. These
lighthouses and their contents are val
ued at nearly $1,OOO,0OO. Some of the
orchids are priceless. The late Jay
Gould had passion for rare orchids,
and for many years before he died
had been collecting them from differ
ent parts of the world. Miss Gould
has taken the same pride in the con-
servatories that her father did. She
telegraphed to Carter Dc Blaisdell,
coal agents, in New York city, to
send a boatload of coal at once to
Tarrytown to save her flowers. Tho
firm could not get a boatload at once,
but telegraphcd to the owner of a
coal yard along the Hudson in which
it has an interest to send enough coal
to heat the lighthouses for day or
two till more coal can be sent.

SEVEN NEW POISONS.
Prof. SchIotterbeck, of Ann Arbor
University, Announces Inn
portamt Discoveries,

Julius o. Schlotterbcck, professor
of pharmacognosy and botany in the
University of Michigan, is about to
make known officially the discovery
OF seven new poisons,
The poisons are all distinct, though
three of them are made from the
same vine. They will be used for
medicinal purposes. Experiments to
test their properties on the lower
animals are now in preparation.
Three of the poisons are made from
the Allegheny vine, which grows in
abundance on porches in some parts
of Michigan. Besides the known
poison, protopine, made from this
vine, the professor has extracted
poisons which he has named adlu-
mine and adlurnidinc, and one still
unnamed.
From the celandine poppy the pro-
fessor has extracted the fourth and
fifth poisons called stylophine and
disphylline, and from the Japanese
celandine the poison baccondine and
one yet unnamed.

KINGLY SPLENDOR.
Edward, of England, to Cont nue h o
magnificent CeremOnials Mt the
Opening of Parliament.

King Edward has determined to
continue the full state ceremonials
on the occasion of the opening of
parliament which his majesty began
on such a magnificent and impressive
scale when he attended the first par
Lament of his reign. When the next
session commences, says Mr.. Labou-
chere, in Truth, probably on Febru-
airy 10 or IL, the king will attend in
full state, accompanied by the queen
and all the members of the royal
family.
The Christmas holidays will be eel.
ebrated at Sandringham with more
festivity than has been observed from
there in many years. 1t is under
stood the king and queen will hold
two evening receptions in the ball
room, one for the clergy and gentry
of the district, the other for the
tenants from the royal and neigh
boring estates. There will also be
a ball, which will be remarkable be-
cause there has not been ball at
Sapdringham for many years.

NOT A SUCCESS.
The ActinoIite, an Appa ratus to Treat
Cancer with Violet Rays, Does Nof
Give Encouraging Results.

The actinolite, an apparatus for the
treatment of cancer, tuberculosis and
similar diseases by means of power
fully concentrated violet rays, which
was installed in one of the apartments
of Flower hospital, New York city,
last May, does not give encouraging
results, according to DR.. Fobbes. The
lite apparatus resembles pow
erful searchlight in appearance and is
used to produce light which it was
hoped would possess all the curative
properties of the Y rays without theiI
Objectionable features. But while it
does not, as the Y rays do, burn the
cuticle and cause loss of hair from the
face and scalp, it appears also to lack
their power of combating the germs
or parasites which are supposed to be
the cause of cancer and tuberculosis.
DR.. Fobbes said that although the
actinolite had been somewhat bene-
fetal in a few cases of skin tuberculo-
sis it had proved totally ineffective
against cancer, and he gave it as his
opinion that it was practically fail
ure. He said that the hospital had
returned to the use of the Y rays in
the treatment of practically all such
diseases.

MARITIME SHEEP RANCHES.
Rocky Islands on the Coast of Maine
That Are Used for This
Purpose.

When an island off the Maine coast
b good for nothing else it is turned
into a maritime sheep ranch, and much
money is made in that way, men from
other states having invested large
sums in the purchase of islands and
stock. The sheep are turned loose,
and left to get a living as best they
can. The islands appear barren, but
the sheep get along very well, and are
invariably fat when their owners come
with boats to take them off for slaugh-
ter in the fall. On some of the islands
there is no water whatever, but the
sheep get what moisture they need
from the heavy dews, and where grass
is scrubby and scarce the animals cul
tiyate fondness for various kinds of
seaweeds, which diet is said to give an
excellent flavor to the mutton.
A few years ago much complaint was
made by well meaning but poorly in
formed persons of the supposed cruelty
of leaving sheep to take care of them
selves, without shelter, on these bar
rem, windswept isles, but it has been
demonstrated that the sheep suffer no
hardship whatever, or they would not
thrive as they do. 1t is related by
one man who had several hundreds of
sheep on Metinic island that he built,
at considerable expense, a warm shell
ter for them, because his wife was con-
stantly expressing the fear that the
poor sheep would freeze to death on
cold nights. The kindly sheep breeder
found that not single one of the ami
mails had taken advantage of the shell
ter provided, in one of the coolest
winters that ever blew on the coast
of Maine. Sheep will huddle together
where they like, and cannot be induced
to go into the sheds built for them on
several of the islands.
In the fall the island ranchers go
off in Gories and bring some of the fat
test of the sheep ashore to market,
tying their legs together and tossing
them into the boats like SO many bum
dies, and at the same time new stock
is carried to the islands In the spring
trip is made to get lambs, and the
stock is again replenished. The ex-
pense of sheep raising on the islands
is small, and the profits are cores
pondingly large.

STRIKES ARE HELPFUL.
Bishop POtt err, of New York, Declares
In Favor of Labor Organizations
and Their Methods.

Bishop Henry c. Potter addressed a
club on Lessons of the Coal Strike,
in the chapel in East Thirteenth
street, New York city, the other
night. He said that he believed lii
strikes and labor organizations, but
warned the latter not to abuse their
power by interfering with the per-
sonal freedom of anyone. Said the
bishop in part:
81 believe in strikes, shocking as
that may sound to you. l also be-
lieve in the conservative value of or
CARNATIONS from which strikes come,
shocking as that may also sound co
you. i believe that you cannot build
up a great state any more than you
can build up great industry with
out organization at both ends.
"The organization of labor is of the
greatest value. The history of labor
Mas demonstrated that no abatement
of hardships has been made on the
part of employers without the de-
mands either of organized labor
itself or the interference of persons
who were neither capitalists nor la,
borers.
"The lesson of the coal strike is
the power and value of organization.
But / feel bound to add that the next
lesson is the danger of the exaggera-
ton of this power"

RESTING PLACE OF COLUMBUS.
One of the Most Famous in Europe,
Shelters Remains of Discoverer.

Seville's magnificent cathedral, in
which the remains of Christopher CO.
Enthusiastically so ~often exhumed
and reburied-have just been placed
for perpctuity, is one of the largest
and most famous in Europe. 1t was
begun in 1401, being built on the site
ST an ancient Moorish mosque. Seville
has many fine buildings, but none as
magnificent as the cathedral. Its
bronze work, wood carvings and sculp-
lures are renowned. On its walls are
paintings by Murillo, who was born in
Seville, and other almost as famous
Spanish painters. Its windows are of
Flemish stained glass, made in the six
tenth century. Its organ is one of
the largest in the world.
The great campanile, or bell tower
of the cathedral, called the "giralda,'
dates from 1876.
1t is especially appropriate that
Christopher Columbus should lie in
Seville cathedral, it being the last rest
ing place of Ferdinand III. of CASTLE,
who sent the discoyerer forth to sail
to India, and the Italians son, also
named Ferdinand.
This is the sixth time that the body
of Columbus has been buried. He died
at Valladolid, in Spain, and his re-
mains found resting place there.
In 1913 they were dug up again and
carried off to Santo Domingo, in Cuba,
and once more committed to the earth.
The year 1896 saw them disnterred
again, to be placed in the cathedral
at Havana, and 100 years later they
were exhumed once more and brought
back to Spain.

USE SOLOMON'S RESERVOIRS.
Je rus II en- Is to BE Supplied from the
Wonderful Aqueducts of the
Ancient King.

A writer in the Home Messenger,
London, in describing Bethlehem,
says there are immense reservoirs
there constructed of solid masonry,
which were undoubtedly the work of
King Solomon. For centuries Jeru-
salem has suffered from a deficiency
of water, but it occurred to no one to
use these reservoirs. designed and
built by the great Hebrew king. 1t
Is now reported that these reser-
voirs will again be used, and that wa
ter will be conveyed to Jerusalem
through aqueducts following the
very course designed by King Solo
mons engineers.

How the Earth Changes.

How does one generation of men
succeed another? The fathers are
not swept away in body to make
room for the children, but one by
one the old drop off and the young
come on, till day is reached when
none of those remain that once were
here, says Harper's Magazine. How
does some form of human speech be-
come extinct? About hundred years
ago en- old lady named Dolly Den
treath died in Cornwall. She could
speak the Cornish language; after
her death there was nobody that
could. Thus quietly did the living
Cornish language become a dead lam
guage; and in a like unobstrusive
manner have been wrought most OF
the new becoplings which have
changed and are changing the earth.

Fifteen-year-old Elizabeth McCourt,
who works all day for dressmaker
and goes every evening to night
school, stopped runaway horse in
New York city the other night from
getting into the mouth of the New
York Central's Park avenue tunnel.
Elizabeth was going through Fiftieth

big iron gate in the Adams Express
company's yards at the mouth of the
tunnel was wide open. She said later
that the first thing she thought of
was "the passengers on the trains
that might be killed if the horse got
in there and threw the engines off
the track"
There was nobody else around to
stop the runaway, SO Elizabeth ran
into the street, seized the horses
bride as he came by, and chung on.
