Bishop Duncan on "socloty."

Bishop Duncan, who is presiding
over the North Georgia Conference,
now in session at Marietta, used
some very plain words in Thanks
giving sermon delivered in the latter
place. The bishop declared that
society is leading women to their
ruin, and that many violations Of the
law by the society set are winkcd at.
81 see" said the bishop, "when | am
visiting around curing the year, the
empty benches AT the prayer meet
ing, the lack Of attendance at the
church societies and the non attend
ance at the ordinary religious duties.
What is the matter with the women
| will tell you. They are going to
their clubs and societies. They have
to 60 to their Shakespeare Club, and
their Browning Club and their Ten
nyson Club. 1t isn't 30 bad for them
to go 70 the Browning Club, because
if they ever get so that they can
understand him the only reason can
be that they have been hard at work
studying him. TO know Browning
you must study hard and even then
the chances are, if you ever meet
him and tell him the meaning Of
something he has written he will not
understand you. If you give him
your Interpretation of what he has
written the thought you express will
probably never have occurred to him.
But why organize Shakespeare or
Browning or Tennyson clubs? You
never heard of David Club, or a
Paul Club or a Mark Club. | defy
the combined gcniuscs of the world
to put all they have ever written
together and rival with it the beau
ties Of the poetry in the book of
David.
"Now during our recent conference
in North Carolina, Bishop Cheshire,
Of the Episcopal church, came before
us and made an address upon that
fearful evil of divorce. WHY was it

people Of this town are stirred with
excitement and horror this morning
over the fearful deaths of Il. B
Hughes, his wife and their two
daughters.
At $ O'clock their house, which is
situated in the center of the town,
was burned to the groand. The
building was wrapped in a hot,
seething mass of flames when the
first citizen arrived, and had there
been adequate fire apparatus it would
have been impossible to save tho
the house after the alarm had aroused
the citizens. In the excitement of
the moment it had not occurred to
any one that the family had not
escaped, but when it was seen that
none of them was in the vicinity the
sickcning thought that they had
burned to death took hold of the
minds of the people, but nothing

Amazon Reqlon No Good.

United States Consul Ayme at Para,
Brazil, sounds a note Of warning for
the benefit of those who think there
is a golden field for exploitation in
the Amazon region of South America.
II despair" says Mr.. Ayme, "of find
ing language strong enough to eT.
press the utter and absolute hopeless
ness of success that awaits any or
those unhappy enough to attempt to
make even a bare living on the banks
Of the mighty Amazon. l do not say
that the acquisition Of fortune or a
competence is difficult, doubtful or
impossible; I say that such mis-
cradle existence as would disgust 3

tainable by one man in 10000 Of such

may be that there are places in Bra
Ill where colonists might do well, per.

places" The rubber trees, Mr.. Ayme
says, are widely separated and they
can only be reached by forcing ones
way through a thick-matted, almost
impenetrable swamp forest which pro-
duces very little food for HI han

an awful experience yesterday. AS
soon as he finished his mid-afternoon
performance, Bumbo left the ring
over tho lagoon and started to lum'
Der across the bridge to his cage, ui.

half way across the bridge Bumbo
hooked over the side into the limpid
waters OF the lagoon. Then he be-
came dizzy and fell overheard.
Now Bumbo cannot swim, and when
at last he was fished out he was al
most dead. An ambulance from the
Coney Island Emergency hospital was
summoned, and when the doctor came
he attended to Bumbo just as II he
were a human being instead OF a
grizzly. After being rolled over bar

breathed his own breath into poor old
Bumbo's nostrils, the grizzly came
back to life.-New York Times.

And then, too late, tear-stained trust
To warm the cold, still lips of love.

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with BRAN and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never we're
the demands OF business, the wants OF
the family, the requirements of society,
more numerous. The first effect Of
the praise worthy effort to keep up all
these things is commonly seen in a
weakened or debilitated condition Of
the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition OF both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
complete nervous prostratlon. It is
clearly seen bat what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep
the digestrle and assimilative functions
healthy al active. From personal

on all the vital organs, builds up the
whole system, and fits men and women
