wild birds In Germany.

A correspondent of the London Mail
at Dresden writes that the Germans are
far in advance of some other people in
caring for the wild birds in their towns.
During the winter shelters from the
snow are erected in public parks and
private gardens for them and plenti-
fully Supplied with food of various
kinds, including mountain ash berries
for thrushes and blackbirds and other
seeds for the smaller birds. This mix
ture is sold at a very cheap rate in
shops for the purpose. In springtime
one may see many birds nesting in spe-
cial wooden boxes placed in the higher
trees. out Of the reach of cats. The
boxes are of different sizes, to suit
starlings, sparrows or tomtits.

In England the black death in the
fourteenth century made its first ap-
pearance in Dorsetshire and quickly
spreading over the west it reached Lon
don by way of Oxford, leaving death
and desolation behind it everywhere
1t was as fatal in the country as in the
town. Whole villages were depopulat-
ed and small towns almost wiped out
Of existence. The dead lay unburied
as they had died. for priests had been
swept away with their 1ocks, and in
many parishes there was no one left to
celebrate mass. while every trade and
craft was suspended in the universal
terror and suspense.
To add to the horror of the times
bands of marauders roamed about IN
molested. robbing alike the dead and
the living, and dogs. deprived Of their
masters by death, came together in
packs. mades feroeious by hunger, and
secured the country like 30 many bands
of wolves.

A Story Of ~ola Ire..sae..,.

One Of the most famous Of the Con-
stitution's exploits was during the was
Of 1912. when she escaped from Broke's
squadron. among which she had acci-
dentaily fallen. The sea was almost a
dead calm. so Captain Hull had to re-
sort to towing. All her boats were
lowered. With long lines attached. and
In addition Hull had ropes spliced to-
gether to make line half mile long.
to which he attached a kedge anchor.
This was Carried In boat half mile
ahead and dropped. when the crew
hanled the ship rapidly forward. The
commodore OF the EngIish squadron
soon adopted the same tactics. and II
it had not been for breeze springing
up the Constitution would have been
captured.

CARLYLE AND EMERSON.


No Evidence That Ebs1er Ever Sera-
eusiy Studied Ckrfstianfty.
The grnve charge is to be brought
ngainst both Carlyle and Emerson that,
while they were the product OF Chris
tan civilization and drew the sub
stance of their message from the re-
hgious faith Of their people. there Is
no evidence that either ever seriously
studied Christianity. The greatest
phenomenon In human history engages
but lightly the attention or the enthu-
piasm of either, nor does either fatbom
the need Of the humanity that has
risen on the strength of the gospel OF
Christ. 1t was the dim perception of
this fact that led Lord jeffrey to re-
mark to Carlyle that he went about
as If he were 10 found a new religion.
No one had done anything for mans
soul until he came. One can hardly
read the correspondence of Carlyle and
Emerson without the feeling of their
excessive consequentialness In the
presence Of the inmensc historic
achievement of spiritual genus: In the
presence OF the spirit. the teaching and
the influence of Jesus. Both were es-
sentially modest men. and yet they
lived in the sense Of uniqueiiess and
an Importance which they do not pos
sess. They are both frequently oracu-
lar when uttering with literary distinc
ton only the commonplace moral wis
dom of the Christian world. 1t is !
valid criticism upon Carlyle and Emer- |
son that they failed to recognize the
rock whence they were hewn and that |
they did not exhaust the quarry; that
they were obllvious of the pit whence
they were digged. and that the precious
metal remained after they were taken
out In boundless abundance-Rev.

Saturday. The committees il

done their work well and hac
made such ample preparations fol-
the occasion that the interest and
enjoyment OF the public was never
permitted to flag for an instant
I Everything was done to make
everybody have rousing, glorious
Fourth, and they had it.
The program commenced with
a parade through the principal
streets of the town to the speakers
stand on the north side. 1t was
headed by the Shoshone band
whose hard work for the past few
weeks had made marked improve
ment in its music. Numerous
business houses had floats in the
procession. Miss Florence Bren-
nan appeared driving chariot
draped in the national colors, and
Miss Alberta McFall represented
the Goddess OF liberty. She was
posed on large float and sur
rounded by school children. J. L.
Fuller acted as marshali and with
the assistance OF his aides conduct
ed parade without a hitch. The
business streets were lined with
people to watch it pass.
After arriving at the speakers
stand the parade dispersed and
the band opened the exercises
with music. Miss blanche Gwin
then read the Declaration of Inde- !
pendence, and was followed by S.
J. Donaldson who delivered an ex- !
cellent address which appears else
where in this issue. A cornet solo
by Kelsey Martin of Miner was
one of the pleasing features of the
exercises, and several selections by
the band rounded out the morn
ing's program.
The street sports were held on
North Rail street Immediately af-
ter dinner, and caused an endless
OF amusement They were
followed by the ball game between
Miner and Shoshone, Miner car I
