 The funeral services were held at the home MondayHafternoon at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Geo. B. Norton, burial following at Walnut Grove cemetery.
 The parents who mourn the taking from them of this sweet and innocent infant son have the sympathy of our people in this hour of their grief. The little one who knew not of the sorrows, trials and sins of life is the wearer of a crown:sssin glory, and this alone should serve to com fort the sorrowing parents.

HOW A TREE IS MURDERED.
An Instance Which Illustrates tn Difficulty of Destroying
 One.

A gentleman of means living in sub urban town tells how his mother once undertook to murder cherry tree, saya the Chicago Chronicle. "I was . boy 1t the time," he said. "The tree stood on our lawn; it had been planted by my father, and he loved 1t with a parental affection; but it was an eyesore to my mother, for she thought 1t spoiled tho looks of the garden.
 "She decided to murder 1t secretly because she knew that my father would never consent to its removal. For . long time she pondered, asking herself how she might kill the tree without be- ing detected, and finally she decided that she would use for her weapon bo0' ing water. Accordingly whenever my father was away she would get kettle and, tiptoeing out to the tree with . guilty look. she would pour boiling water upon its roots.
 "At first the tree showed no change snder this treatment. After a time. though, a change began to manifest itself. My father noticed it.
 "'By jove,' he said, my cherry tree seems unusually fine and hearty
 And this was fact. The more boil Ing water my mother poured on the roots the more the tree thrived and hourished. Finally, in despair, she gaw up trying to commit her vegetable mur der.
 "A florist, to whom she narrated this strange story one day, laughed when he heard it. He said it was no wonder the tres had gotten along 30 we'll. He de- c,ared that boiling water was often used on trees, as it killed off the worms and bugs molesting them"

The Magnetic North.

The belief in the constancy of the magnetic compass to the north pole haa not the least foundation in fact. At ev. cry different place on the globe it points In different direction, and only one or two of them are due north. In London. for instance, it points to place aboat l7 degrees west of north. Seventy-su years ago it was still further away, be- ing then 24A degrees, or quarter of tho way around to the west. In the year 1880 1t pointed Il degrees east. Then it began to move north till 1859. when it pointed due north. But 1t remained thus only for moment, passing around to its greatest deflection in 160 years. Again 1t turned in 1920. and Is still nov ing nearer the north. It will not reach that point for nearly a century and . Nalf, and so 1t will go on backward and AEvard forever.-N '. HaralA.

WISDOM OF CHANGING
 PRIMARY ELECTION DAY.

'"The Democracy.sof Arkansas performed a wise act when 1t changed the day fors primary election everys::two years from Saturday to Wednesday," said the man of experience" who never fails to attend the sessions of the Convention Club in Glea- sons lobby, and whom.:.the Ga zette invariably inte rview s. It was done by shthe last Democratic state convention. but so little has been said about it that the public is perhaps una ware of the change.
 "There are potent reasons why the primary elections should not be held on Saturday and 'ssprinci- pal of these is the fact%sthat the ticket is so long the 1work of counting the ballots in heavy pre- cincts must extend into the Sab bath. Then, too, the invariable hanger-on who will not leave un- til the entire vote is counted is inclined to tank up and make Rome howl. It is better that such things, if they have to be tolerated, should be inflicted up- on us on Thursdays than on the Sabbath.
 ''The idea of making the change originated with the Democracy of Pope county and was incorporated into the report of the committee on resolutions at the state convention sby Rep resentative-elect U. L. Meade of that county. By the lsaway, MT. Meade also presentedsthe resolu- tion which was also adopted pro- viding for the plurality plan in the selection ofss a Democratic nominee for United States sena- tor"

 REMARKABLE WEAPON.
1lswpipe Used by the Indian sharp shooters of Guiana Nicely
 Conatructed.

There are two kinds of blowpipes in ase among the Indians of Guiana. The drst, called the poocoona, Is made of the oorah reed. This remarkable reed Is found in the Orinoco river only. and then only at certain spots. The oorah grows to height of at least 30 feet, and the basal joint, of which the blowpipe Is made, is IA or 15 feet long, straight as an arrow and without a knot. says Longman's Magazine.
 The inside of the reed is as smooth as glass, hence the facility with which the dart traverses 1t Very little of the reed Is cut away, so that the pipe Is about 12 feet long, and is so strong that when held horizontally there is not the least bend In 1t.
 The reed. having been carefully se- lected, cut and prepared, is inclosed In small, thin palm trunk, which is split open for the purpose, scraped thin as a wafer. and then rejoined with the reed in the center. This palm, for length, straightness and lightness, is as remarkable as the reed. The whole pipe. when finished, never weighs more than lh or 1A pounds. Both the mouth, or muzzle, and the breech are bell mouthed. the bell pieces being fixed on.
 There are front and back sights. the latter formed of the curved teeth of the dasyprocta acouchi, species of rodent somewhat larger in size than a wild rabbit Two of the insicors of this animal are fixed on the breech of the pipe by means of wax. The teeth being placed parallel to each other and very close together, the sight Is taken between them. Sometimes the fore sight Is made in the same way, but it more often consists of the single sharp tooth of a fish. It is placed about a foot back from the muzzle, the back sight being affixed four feet along the tube, so that 1t is considerable dis tance from the eye when aiming.
 The missile used with this tube is misnamed an arrow. It Is really a dart, scarcely larger than a large darning needle, and with point quite as fine. The dart Is made of the rib of the coocooreete palm leaf, and is so heavy that 1t will sink in water. It is about seven inches in length, not thicker than a large needle, and the usual number tha. an Indian carries with him when shooting is from $50 to 500, ready poisoned. but not pre- pared with the necessary cotton plugs.
 These darts are strung together something like the reeds on which soft cheeses are placed, and then rolled on a stick and carried in quiver, points upmost, 1t being requisite to protect them from every chance of being broken or dulled. To protect the hand when handling them the top of the stick is furnished with small, wheel-like shield.
 The fine points are given to the darts by means of the teeth of the devilfish tserrasalmus pivava), and the cotton with which they are plugged before use is found growing wild. It is bound to the base of dart with thread made of silk grass; this thread. with wax obtained from several trees. being largely used also in making the blOWpipe.

GROWTH OF INSANITY.
tn the Large Cities It Is IncreasfR
 and Experts Demand Change.

What change can be made in city life to stop its enormous production of in- sanity, yearly increasing?
 Here is a question which Is yet to be solved, says the New York World. The medical fraternity is at loss for gen. eral remedy; puzzled to find means of overcoming the baneful effects of 8 city's activity on the general medical condition.
 London produces 70 lunatics a week and New York is almost as bad, and its increase Is greater proporionately. Ex- perts say that if it were not for the fact that nature steps in and generally re- fuses to grant children after the fourth or fifth generation conditions would ba far worse than they are.
 "The outlook for the future is not bright according to medical opinion, un- less the minds of the city people are bet ter able within the next few generations to adjust themselves to their progressive complicated environment, unless bal anGing interests and mental habits are developed to overcome the unnatural nervous tension of city life.
 So complicated is the environment of those who live in great towns, so many ,nd so varied are the calls upon the self-controI and upon their efrort-mak- ing powers, that their mental machin- cry is apt to become more complex, its parts require more construction and ad- ,ustment, and the whole machine is more apt to get out of gear and to suffer derangement than in the more primi- tive and less emotional life of even half a century ago. It is not overwork that Is the determining cause of the disturb ance or mental equilibrium, but carking care, worry and anxiety.
 To the rich insanity Is brought by in- dulgence In sensuous luxuries. To the poor. who are at the mercy of every economic crisis, whose financial circum' stances spell indifferent nutrition, over crowding and immoral surroundings the condition of modern life bring de- pression and despair. The natural re suit Is that they attempt to drown their sorrows in the flowing bowl. Alcohol is i the cause of one.ffth of the insanity in males and of more than half of that iu 1 the weaker sex.

LEGALITY OF ELECTION OF
A BISHOP IS QUESTIONED.

Halifax, n. g.. Sept. 1.-THE legality OF
the election OF Archdeacon worrell OF
Kingston. Ont. as bishop OF the Anglican
diocese OF Novo Scotia is questioned and
a meeting OF the executive committee OF
the diocese has been called TO consider the
matter. The cannon. governing the cleo
ton OF a bishop, requires that II tive
thirds OF the clergy and members are
present a majority shall determine the
choice; II not the vote to be decisive. but
be a two-thirds vote OF those present.
There were on the lay side 1l5 votes cast
out OF a total Of 173. thus lacking the two
thirds attendance by one-third man. A
prominent attorney has given II as his
opinion that the election was not legal.
He states that In law whatever is not
legal Ia illegal, and that the lack OF tho
thirds vote even by 30 slight a
deficiency makes the election Illegal.
At this time II seems probable that an
other meeting OF the synod will be called.
