Of Methodism in Texas. In company
with number of itinerahts who Rsere
on their way to conference, Dr.. Thrall
stopped to spend the night with an
old farmer. 1t was, the custom theu
to settle the bill at night SO that they
might rise about clock in the
morning and ride a good way before
breakfast and liz by in the heat OF tie.
day. DR.. Thrall acting as spokesman
OF the party, said to the old farmer
after supper: "We are company Of
Methodist preachers going to confer
enee.- 1fyou will get The family to
gether We will have prayers with ytu.'
After prayers one By one settled his.
bill. DR. Thrali's ) turn came, and he
asked for his bill. The old farmer re-.
piled; ''Well, pa'son, / charged the.
rest 25 cents; but bein' as you prayed
for us SO good, I won t charge you but
20 cents" The brethren had the
laugh on Dr.. Thrall.

Mindano's Death Valley.

"A. u. Carpenter, Of Chicago, who
recently returned from the Philippine
Islands, is in Denver. For three
years ne has been roaming around in
unexplored and uncivilized parts Of
the island examining into the natural
possibilities of the country. During
his visit to the islands he represented
Chicago company, to which he has
but recently made .epoT. of his OBJ
servations in the newly acquired ter
ritory. Of all Of the unparalleled
things which he saw, Mr.. Carpenter
says that the much. talked of Valley
of Death in the Island Of Mindano is
the most wonderful and mysterious.
"Tho famous valley" he says, "is
far inland in this large island. The
interior of the island is covered with
mountains, and there are many indi-
cations of volcaoic erupt:ons. After
one range of mountains is crossed
there is q deep descent. This is the
edge CT the valley. It looks like the
rim OF great crater, but it is too
large for that. 1t is surrounded hy
high mountains aud covers many
square miles.
when crossing the mountains the
traveller sees heavy mist similar 10
fog hanging over the land beneath
him. The mist is heavier and darker
than the most dense fog, and it has
never been known to clear away. AS
my party of five went down the noun
tain side VIC felt that we were ap-
preaching that mist.
The air we breathed was heavy and
foul. We knew that there were pois-
onous gases in the atmosphere from
the very effect which the air above
had upon US. AS was not upon an
expedition to find out how much suf-
fering we could endure called halt
long before we were in the thick of
the mist. We decided at once to re-
turn to the mountain tops and survey
the valley at distance. l was anx-
ious to make some report of the val
ley, for natives bad brought nuggets
OF gold from the neighboring islands
which were larger than any I had ever
before heard Of. They said that they
had found these at the edge Of the
Valley Of Death.
"No one has ever been known to
cross this strange valley. and several
parties which have made the attempt
have failed and have been, forced to
return to the mountains exhausted
aud sick. Many people have been
overcome by the poisonous gases and
have only been rescued by their
friends whose lungs were not so quick
ly affected.
$50 far as can understand, be-
lieve that there must be some volcanic
fissure somewhere in the valley and
from this is constantly. pouring forth
the poisonous vapor which ever hangs
over the valley. From descriptions
Of other volcanic gases I believe that
this is the explanation OF the mist
which hangs oyer tho Valley Of
Death.''

The Deacon Eadrely Forgot.


A few Sundays ago good old Car.
thage deacon, ovcr.tempered By the
sunshine, hitohed his team 10 his sur.
rey and drove with his grand children
to Centre Greek. While he ~as not
looking the young people clipped some
jointed fishing fods nnd tackle under
the seat. Arriving at tho creek they
rallied them out much to the old dea-
cons surprise and indignation. He
was still demonstrating against such
ungodly usages on Sunday, when ono
of the girls hooked catfish more
than q foot long. Now, the deacon is
an old-time sport at fishing and the
sight of this fish set him wild. The
girl conldn't land her prize and the
deacon pulled it out for her. Then,
batting the hook, he began angling on
his own account and soon landed o
four pound bass. Forgetting the Sab.
bath and all else save the glorious
sport he was having, the deacon kept
on fishing, bringing out several beau.
ties, until tho children reminded him
that they would have to hurry home
to get SUPPER so as to attend church.

Lettuce Stops Smallpox

Lettuce is an absolute preventive
of smallpox. No one is in the lie ast
particle of danger Of catching small.
pox' who eats little lettuce every
day. Smallpox belongs to the scor-
butte class of diseases. Sailors at
sea deprived of fresh vegetables get
scurvy. Scurvy is typical scorbutic
disease. Smallpox is another. Small
pox always RACES during the winter
season when the poor people are de-
piived OF fresh vegetable foods. Gel
cry and onions are good for this pur-
pose, but there is such long interval
between their being gathered and
being eaten that they lose most of
their anti scorbutio properties.
Lettuce is served shortly after it is
picked aud. hence contains the valu-
able properties which will prevent
smallpox. We say without the least
Hesitation or reserve that lettuce will

ncction with diet. the greatest puzzle
from the viewpoint Of most women
has 70 do with avoirdupois. 1t is an
unfortunate fact that three women out
of four, by the time they have reach
ed the age of 30, are mortal'y afraid
of becoming too fat. The fourth is
fearful of too severe attenuation,
which is even less to be desired, per-
haps, and she who is satisfied with
her figure in prospectu is an exception
indeed, and much 70 envied.
1t is all very absurd. TO regulate

cases where the fatty tendency ia a

may be accomplished almost to the re-
quisite ounce. 1t IL simply matter
OF regulating ones dict-noti in pain
full way. be it understood, but merely
by common sense.
Are you getting too fat? Then
drop bread and potatoes, that is all
that is necessary. OF course, you arc
not expected to gorge yourself With
pastry and candy Cut those out, If
you can, or, if you can't, be moderate
in that kind Of indulgence. Eat all
you want. If you like twice as much
as usual, but consider potatoes and
bread are not for you-just for a
while, at all events. You will be sur
prscd to find that you lose two pounds
in the first thirty.six hours and a
pound day after that.
Anybody can give up potatoes. The
bread is u far more serious depriya-
tion, but, as the French say: I'll
faut souffrir pour ctre beau" In
other words, you must choose between
food and your figure. The cure is un-
failing if you are capable Of tie re.
quisitc self denial.
Such being the case, the cure for
excessive thinness is obvious. Eat
freely of tho fat making foods-bread,
potatoes, pastry, candy, and, in the
way OF fruits, bananas and apples.

Folk lore notions hand down from

For example, there is a widespread
and ancient popular belief to the.
effect that diet of spinach makes a

skin. Less easily accounted for is
the notion that fish. eaters are apt to
be dark skinned. The same thing is
said Of chocolate.eaters for look if

where the plant grows. But after all
1t is by no means certain that food

pigment by the liver. Psychologists

op that question, and there may be
