and evolution Is that religion keeps
pace with civilization and changes and
develops according to the needs Of the
people. One of the latest religious ed
tf1ces to be established because called
Tor by an advanced few is the vege-
tartan church. Those who have given
up meat as food have felt the need of
place OF worship where they could
express by religious ritual their belief
IN pure food and their contempt for
those Who still cling to the murderous
sustenance involved in the eating Of
meat. The church is located in Phila-
delphfa, and is called the First Bible
CHRISTIAN church, and it's pastor has
not tasted meat for seventy-six years.
lie regards meat eating as injurious to
morals as well as to health and he
breaches every Sunday to his congre-
cation on the moral uplift of a life
sustained by breakfast food. A New
YORK vegetarian and his two sons have
gone even further in this regard and
not only omit meat from their regime,
but take but one meal a day and that
at night. When they rise they take
cold bath In lieu of breakfast, and,
after working hard all the morning,
open the windows at noon and allow
the beautiful pure air to blow about
them, instead Of partaking of luncheon.
At night they eat raw foods and health
biscuit and are joyous and happy. The
only thing that worries one is to know
THAT these three men are cut off from
the services Of the Bible Christian
church, as their example would do
much toward Strengthening the droop-
ing spirits of some of the converts who
find spiritual diet at times a little thin.
Another case of a church which nat
urally developed because Of the needs
OF the people is a union labor church
In Chicago in which the pastor and all
the members are obliged to be con-
nected with union before they can
participate in the services. Those who
attend have to show their union cards
at the door before going in, where the
services are all Of the approved union
order. Thus does religion keep pace
with progress.
A Frenchman has written a book on
1.-The Science of Automobile Touring"
which will probably give many points
to the survivors of the recent race. If
the writer had only been able to put
1t on the market earlier there might
now be living several French men and
women who careleSSly ran into the
road during the race and who have
only themselves to blame for their un-
tlmely demise. The writer Of the book
has evidently made study of touring,
and speaks learnedly of the centers Of
touring which must be studied by those
about to take a long ride, and he says
that these 'centerS must be discovered
by process of elimination Elimina-
ton OF obstacles, says the writer, 10
the nrst step. This expression, process
of elimination, is quite Illuminating and
makes one feel more leniently toward
Inc recent racers, as 1t is quite evident
that they were merely proceeding on
scientific lines and endeavorinG to
eliminate the obstacles on the TOAD,
which they did most successfully. The
writer further insists that a center Of
touring is generally at a crossroads.
NOW II some expert pedestrian will
study the science of getting about
without crossing the road, it will prove
a valuable work and will be welcome
to automobiles as well as pedestrians,
as the former are much annoyed by
persons who will persist in crossing
the streets.
1t is easy to see the fine Italian hand
of our fght-loving president in various
directions, but nowhere is it more in
evidence than in the mock battles
which from time to time have been car
ried on during his administration. One
OF these affairs is planned to come off
at Portland, Me-, in August, between
the American army and navy. In time

word Of the present administration,
hence the citizens of Portland are in a
fever Of expectation and anticipating a
most enjoyable time. The hostile fleet

the army at Portland will be ready for

should be inculcated into the youth of

Those who are inclined to be sarcas-
tic at the expense Of New York's smart
set, will be interested in learning Of
the bravery of Mrs. Burke Roche and
her daughter, Miss Cynthia, during a
runaway at Newport recently. Now
most women, even though they belong
ed to the noble four hundred would
scream and make a great noise If seat
ed IN victoria to which the horse at
tached were running madly along the
street while the coachman was unable
to make any impression upon them.
But not so Mrs. Burke Roche and Miss
Cynthia. They set their little white
teeth firmly, braced their feet, and
sat perfectly still placing their faith
IN providence and a large stone wall
directly ahead. Several members of
the hoi-polloi who happened to be
standing in the street, saw the danger
and finally the horses were stopped
and the two women aIighted with
dignity. But when Miss Cynthia real
lied from what danger they had beep
rescued, she Immediately danced a
two-step on the pavement, to the edi-
ncat1on of the aforesaid hoi-polloi who
greatly appreciated and applauded her
efforts. After all, in great crises even
those most highly placed reveal the ma
ture which makes all humanity one.
Nine. Patti has gone to a rest cure
IN France where she will remain until
1t is time for her to sail for New York
where she is to begin her real farewell
tour. Even the most optimistic of her
friends and those who have known
her for nearly hundred years, are in
clined to believe-though hoping
against hope-that she can never make
another farewell tour of this country,
Nine. Patti told a newspaper report
er That she was looking forward with
the greatest pleasure to her return to
the United States and once more see
