st. George is it's patron saint, and
in the old calendar Of the flowers this
rhyme appears in reference to an old
custom:
The blue harebel the fields adorn.
The harebell is one of the many
flowers that have been closely asso-
,ciated with music. The term bell is
applied to it not only because Of the
shape of it's bloom, but for the legend
which describes how the little flowers
would ring their chimes to call the
fairies for dance and then furnish
sweet music for their nimble feet. 1t
seems but fair that the graceful hare
should give his name to this lovely
flower when the deer, the fox, the
dog and many other animals have
been renember in the floral king

This government measure makes spe- |

The Church and the People.
Altho the country is full of churches,
the people are not churchly. Tho not
Of a churchgoing kind they are yet at
heart reli gious. There are four
churches within radius Of about as
many miles which 1 know to be prac-
tically empty Of Sunday morning
And other churches there are from
Dalcarlia to Skane where the condi-
tons are little if any better.
Yesterday was Sunday. In a large
church the morning audience consisted
of seven persons. That same afternoon
I attended service in farm outbuild-
ing. There were nearly hundred
present, and the attractions consisted
of diminutive reed organ, violin
on which singer played his own &C.
| compartments, and two or three speak
ers of rather Indifferent ability. AS
near as one who is not a trained theo-
Logan can tell there was no dissenter-
ism about the meeting, rather tone Of
sorrow that the local minister disdained
to be present.
AS a matter of fact minister from
a neighboring city had been asked to
join in the service and had promised,
but other duties had kept him Such
meetings as these are said to be quite
common where the pastor has little or
no interest in the real work of his call
ing. Ehe people get no satisfaction
whatever from the dry -as-dust sermons
repeated probably as regularly as the
return of the same text every third
year. For such is the rule here and
pastor has limited choice Of subjects.
That same Sunday there was to be
communion, but as there were no COM
municants, it had to be postponed. All
this is sad commentary on the Estab-
fishes church. The influence it ezerts
is really small as compared with its
immense resources. To an outsider at
least, it seems that either the church
has slipped it's mornings and gotten
away from the people, or else the peo-
pie have cut loose from the church.
Many of them try to minister to their
religious wants in their own way, while
the greater number discard everything
and simply drift.
But whether it is the church or the
people who are at fault, it is problem
that has worried many minds, and is
still a question of the day waiting for
a solution.
Lack Of Libraries.

instruction (and no country can show
anything better and more thoro) Swed-

public education and information as

POWERFUL NEW
POISONOUS DRUG

From the Albany Medical Annals:
Lascellus Scott of England has re-
Gently published some startling facts
about cyanide of cacodyl. It is a white
powder, melting at 80 degrees and boil
ing at 140 degrees, which, when ex-
posed to air, gives off a slight vapor to
inhale which is death. It's affect is so
powerful that Mr.. Scott states that he
has seen the one-millionth part of a
grain of the drug instantly kill four
dogs when they were introduced into
an alright cage with it. While but lit
tie known, it was made many years
ago by a noted French chemist, Cadet.
He combined potassium acetate with
white arsenic, producing a tuning Ii
puid, ovid Of cacodyl. This, when COM
bined with cyanogen. radical of prus-
sic acid, produces cyanid of cacodyl,
thousands Of times more poisonous
than the pure prussic acid.
