agandists who have started Christian
Science plants in Germany have taken
care to have the bad English trans
lated into good German so that cause
for ridicule has been removed. But
the price of the book remains the same
and the Emperor has the bravery to
call it robbery and to forbid treat
ment" by the c. 5. doctors.
The Kaiser is like the boy who did
not know how to shiver. An impos-
sibility stimulates him. Other men are
afraid of failure. They urge some one
else to fight their battles. they go To
see their favorite editor, and exhort
him to sacrifice himself and his paper
pro bono publicO. or they write letters
to the papers themselves under
pseudOnymic names. But the Kaiser
has never shivered and he welcomes
horrors that other men run from and
hide from. That delicious moment
when the roots of the hair stiffen and
hold the hair straight up from the
scalp, when the blood leaves the heart
empty and the flesh is as cold and
pimply as the skin of dressed goose,
the Kaiser knows nothing about. 1t
is not because he is brave. He does
not know fear. TempeTamentally he
cannot apprehend it. He knows what
Christian Science is, or rather what
Christian Scientists say Christian
Science is, and as he is an observing
man he has noticed what determined
loyal, anXious-for- -martyrdom denom-
ination or sect it is. Nevertheless he
has issued an edict that Christian
Scientists cannot be received at court,
and has told the police not To allow
them To hold public meetings.
The Kaiser has prisons to put peo-
pie in who do not obey him. The
Christian Scientists are not afraid of
prisons or of fines and the Jealous ones
who have gone to Germany as mis-
siOnaries long for martyrdom. They
want to die on the battlefield. No
mayor, nor governor, nor president In
this country has been brave enough to
do what the Kaiser has done, though
other champions coat. The contest in
Germany will be watched with interest
both by those who believe that Mrs.
Eddy's book is an Interpretation of the
Bible and by those who believe that it
is not.

High &C"

While Mrs. st. John, the ChOrister
and solo soprano of the Methodist
church at Middletown, New York, was
rehearsing the choir in the Inflam-
matus from Stabat Mater, the music
committee was present i'll the rear of
the church. After Il solo by the
soprano a member of the committee
called Mrs. st. John aside and told her
that members of the congregation had
tolerated her high "cs" just as long
as they could and that she would
please not sing them any more, init
mating that in the lower register her
notes were pleasing and fully repaid
the church what they cost it. Mrs.
st. John instantly piled up her music
and dismissed the choir. Next day she
resigned.
Congregations can appreciate the dis
comfort which must have preceded
this desperate action on the part of
the committee. Mrs. st. John doubt
less possesses a canary soprano voice
capable of reaching dizzy heights.
But such a performance requires effort
and does not harmonize with a church
service.
A church service should be a har-
mOnious whole. 1t is not like a vaude-
vile where each performer tries to
dazzle the audience and does his turn
irrespective of every other member of
the company. People are supposed to
go to church to praise God, to pray to
Him and to get new inspiration that
may be worked into conduct. Mrs. st.
Johns ambition to reach a certain note
was harmless enough, only it had moth
ing to do with religion or worship and
the note itself is not especially musical.
By repetition it got on the congrega-
tion's nerves. The music committee
was consulted and probably upbraided.
The committee attended choir meet
ing and just after the acrobatic So
prano solo in the Stabat Mater, IT was
mad enough to speak to the soloist
and tell her the congregation could
not stand that any longer.
OF course the details of this interview
and the vexations which preceded it

MOTHER AND CHILD AT THE

Heaven help all mothers if they be

hour of the day when every mother
stands revealed before her little SON.

seven; when children 60 to bed later

SHE DROPPED 1T.

A story is told wherein figure two
well known Columbus ladies and a
parrot. Mrs. A. paid special call at
the house of Mrs. B. the other day
and was ushered into the living room
by the maid of all work to await the
appearance of Mrs B.
Mrs. B. had come into possession of
a parrot only short time before and
had been keeping the bird in the liv-
ing room. Polly has very good COM
mand of English and appears to know
when to use it. Mrs. A. sat down
with her back to the bird without
noticing it, and as Polly made no
sound she remained in ignorance of
its presence.
Observing a beautiful vase on the
mantel, Mrs. A. arose from her seat
and, crossing the floor, took down the
dainty piece of bric-a- brac to examine
it. She gazed on it rapturously, COM
pletely absorbed by its elegant decor
ations, when suddenly from just be.
hind her came the shrill and stern
command:
drop it Drop it!'
Mrs. A. obeyed and turned, with a
scream, to face the imperturbable gaze
of Polly, who sat in her cage with her
green head slyly perked to one side.
On the floor lay the beautiful vase
smashed to bits. At this most embar-
RAISING moment Mrs. 3. entered the
room. Before Mrs. A. could explain
the situation Polly shook out her
feathers and remarked:

THE CULTURE OF FIELD BEANS.

@. W, G., Lycoming County, Penn,
says | desire to ask a question or
two concerning bean culture plant
ed three-fourths of an acre to beans last
year, in June. They were of the pea"
variety, obtained from a grocer's
stock. Very few terminated to give a
normal growth. They seemed stunted
as the beans had been heated as pre-
caution agaisnst weevil. l would like
to know the variety of beans your
neighbor grows, as related in The
Tribune Farmer recently; when he
plants to be safe from frost In the fall,
and what time the crop natures {;
how often he cultivates and how he
harvests and cures the crop.
Answer; The variety grown by the
person referred to is the same as you
planted About the middle of June in
