A VOICE FROM THE TOMB.
1t Spoke In Dream and Told q Tale
of CHASTITY Horror.

of CHASTITY Horror.
The Rev. Mr. Partridge was once the
vicar Of parish In the suburbs Of
London. lie had the misfortune TO
lose i favorite son. whose body was
Inferred in Il vault In the church. Two
nights after the interment Mr. Par
fridge dreamed that he saw his son,
habtcd In Il shroud spotted with blood,
the expression Of his countcnance be-
ing that Of person enduring some
paroxysm Of acute pain.
Father. father" he cried, come and
defend me. I'Eoy will not let me rest
quiet In my collin
The apparition was so vivid that the
dreamer awoke trembling from excite
ment. lie argued with himself that it
was the result Of the grief he felt on
account Of his sons death and after
awhile ,uanaged to overcome his agi-
tation and go 70 sleep again. But ii
seemed TO him that he scarcely lost
consciousness when the vision reap
peared. beseecling more piteously than
before TINT his father would come TO
his aid. as they were managing his
body ut that instant" The tortured
man slept no more. that night and at
the break Of day repaired to the
clerks house. whore the keys OF the
vault were kept. Here lie was i'll
formed that the key TO the main door
had been broken and the clerks son
had gone 20 the smiths to have a new
one made. lmpelled by the worst mis-
givines. the vicar procured crowbar,
by means OF which the hinges Of the
door were wrenched Off.
The sight that greeted him caused
the father to fail fainting to the floor.
His sons coffin had been lifted from
the recess and placed on the brick
pavement. The I'D lay loose on the
top. The body. envelOped in Its shroud,
on which were several spots of blood
below the chin. was exposed to view.
The broad ribbon mad been removed
from below the jaw. which hung down
with most CHASTITY horror of express
sion. and every tooth in the head had
been drawn. The youth while living
had possessed Il beautiful set Of teeth.
The clerks son. who was both bar
Der and dentist. had obtained pos
session OF the vault keys for the pur
pose Of extracting the teeth for use In
his business. London Mall.

Pure Bred Sires
For Beef Herd

Every breeder of live stock has two
great battles OIL hand. One Of these Is
the battle for improvement, and the
other is the greater battle against the
deterioration Of his herd. Many cattle
breeders seem to feel that when they
have become possessed Of n pedlgreel
bull their success as breed,r is as
sured, says Kansas Farmer. v hey fail
to realize the fact that pedigree does
not make bull.
A pedigree Is only the written as
surance that the ancestors of the ami
NAL have done well under proper care
and promise that he will do well IL
rightly handled. With pedigree the
chances Of the animal proving himself
a good one are excellent, though not
absolute. Without pedigree 1t Is
mere guesswOrk.
There are many unregistered bulls
that are good individuals, but crop
Of their calves shows the weak points
In their ancestry. while their continued
use Is sure TO result in the deteriora-
ton of tie herd. a pure bred bull that
Is good Individual mems not only an
assurance OF victory ii TIE fight
against deterioration. but !; Il power
full instrument In the hands Of the
breeder In his battle for improvement.
While II may sometimes be neces-
sary to Outcross cattle for the sake Of
adding. certain desirable points. 1t
should never be permissible to cross
breed them. and scrub bull should
never exist. Even poor steer is much
more valuable than poor bull because
he cannot inJure the herd.
A good bull' does not necessarily
mean high priced one. bu; 1t does
mean pure bred one.
Pure bred bulls are so cheap and
land values are becoming 50 high that
the farmer must use them not only to
succeed. but to keep himself from fall
ing In his business.
Lender of the Herd.
In an article In Breeders Gazette on
Judging cattle W. A. Harris says of the
head of the herd:
The head broad. strong. powerful.
curled like the front of Jove. with
horns OF power, firm based and curved
in beauty; eyes full and bright, yet

OF reaciTg the account Of this dish -
la. i..>u u vulgar and ridiculous med
ley il no longer possible.
Almost rs foolish. although OF diff
fercnt character, is the recipe exalted
by Brillat-Savarin. which teaches us
how to misapply the flesh of two wood
cocks, with trulles and other concoml-
tants, as the mere stufiing for single
pheasant We are assured that "the
success of this method is guaranteed
by the very nature of things" but the
idea seems radically false to begin
with, and no amount Of skill can cure
the inherent defect.
1t is some years since well known
connoisseur condemned the use Of lob
ster sauce with salmon on the reason
able ground that no fish should lie
made to serve as the complement OF
another. And it is surely an offense
Of still greater magnitude to attempt
to incorporate the individual subtleties
Of two such delicious birds as the
woodcock and pheasant in single
dish.
The cost OF cooking single olive
may turn out q costly proceeding, es-
pecially If d bon vivant should adopt
the following method: Place q French
olive inside beccafico (he fig pecker).
the becca6co in n golden plover, the
plover In a pheasant and the pheasant
in bustard. The cooking Is to pro
coed with special regard to the 'bast-
ing" and when the dish is presented
the master Of the feast sends the olive
(only) to the guest whom he desires to
honor, unless. indeed. he happens to
SUD alone--Lucullus with Lucpllus-
when he eats 1t himself. There is some
reason to believe. however, that this
recipe was designed as a sarcastic re-
buke TO the extravagant cooks OF the
period and not less to the wealthy
of overcutivated tastes. -

New York Theological Seminary Dis-
 antianea With 0la One.
 PittsburN. Nov. 26.--Rev. David SchIey Schaff. professor of Church His 7 tory at the Western Theological Sem- mary, Allegheny City. today confirmed the report that the Union Theological Seminary of New York had discarded the Westminster Confession of Faith and unanimously adopted a new creed.
 Dr. Schaf. who recently returned from New York, said the action was taken last week when the Board of Directors received two gifts Of Si26, 600 each. The Westminster Confession of Faith. he said, was a part of the char ter of the seminary and the members of the board had been obliged to sign the charter. Sentiment had been grow Ag against the confession and the break was finally made last week.
 Statement by Rev. pr. Brown.
 New York, Nov. 26.--The Rev. Dr. Francis Brown. of the Union Theolog- ical Seminary, said today that the Board of Directors of the Seminary had res gently decided to fall back upon the original charter obligations of the Sem mary in reference to the qualifications of directors and professors. The orig inal charter did not require a subscrip- tion to the Westminster confession of IdlLn. 1EVWu o4AAf A& S~INA% action of the Board of Directors in re- turning to the original charter obiiga- ffons ddas not utter the attitude Of the present members of the board or the faculty tow8rd the Presbyterian Church and the Westminster confess sion. Slt makes it possible in tho fu- ture to have rectors who although they are nos prepared to subscribe Co the confession are earnest christian men.
 'sThe act of incorporation of the Sem mary says that privileges of admis- sion and instruction with all the ad- vantages of the institution shall be a1- lowed to students of every denomina- ton of Christians.
 "All of us feel that the most import ant safeguard for the Seminary and the assurance that it will not depart from the original plan is the character of the men constituting the Board of Di- rectors.
 'Tt is true that the Seminary has re- cently received gifts aggregating s24O.- 900, but the names of the donors are not yet to be made public"

MERCHANT MARINE sHEPRUILDING
Comn.imsson Engaged In Preparing It'
 Report to Congresa.

Commission ESMB18C0 a-~
 Report to Congresa.
 vvashinrtor,. Nov. 2e.--The merchant marine commission was in session again today engaged in preparing It's renort and recommendations to Con- gress. Further consideration was given to the several expcdients which have been suggested for the upbuildinG off the American merchant marine in foreign trade, discriminating duties. mail subventions. incFeasef tonnage taxes and naval subs entions and free ships. Some attention also was given to proposals to reserve to American shipping the isthmian canal traoe ana the services now performed by army transports.
 Regarding the work of the commis- sion, Senator Gallinger. It's Chairman. today issued the following:
 ''On the question of free ships the commission has made very thorough and searching inquiry as to the proba- ble action of American ship owners. In reply to definite questions whether American companies now owning for eign built vessels would transfer them to the American flag under free snip law, replies have been received from the International Mercantile Marine Company, the Hogans and Sons. the Donald Steamship Co.,; W. R. Grace $ Co.,, and a few other owners. These steamship men are unanimous in the statement that there would be no in centive from a business point of view to transfer foreign built ships to American registry if they would be confined exclusively to the foreign trade but to remain without subsidy. differential duty or any other govern ment encouragement, on account of the greater cost of operating vessels un- der the American flag than under some foreign nag."
