whSre London's Famous Preachers
and Teachers Gathered.
The closing decades of the last cen
fury comprehended the palmy period Of
IL distinguished little society in London
which might have been described as
club for the teachers and preachers of
their age, secular or religious. Such
indeed was the Metaphysical society.
Its organizing spirit had perhaps been
James Knowles. If its most famous
member were found in w. Z. Gladstone
its leading spirits. who took the most
active part i'll its discussions, were
Cardinal Manning and Richard Holt
Hutton, the editor Of the Spectator.
james Martincau, Matthew Arnold and
William George Ward. the erewhile
mathematical tutor of Ballot, as well
us the poet Browning, may sometimes
have been of the company, but the CHER
figures were those already mentioned.
In his earlier days Hutton, like so
many reflective men of his day, was
the disciple of L. ID. Maulsce. Then
among his associates We're J. NJ. Lud-
Tom Browns School bays" After
ward r. II. Hutton's mental master
would have been recognized by him in
his brother member of the Mctaphys-
zeal society, james Martineau.
The great incidents in its proceedings

arguments wherein different sides were
taken by teachers of their generation
SO mutually opposed and so individually
distinguished as Manning and Marti-
ncau. upon very rare occasions, it may
be. by Gladstone, Browning and, |
rather think. once or twice by Tenny-
son himself The extraordinary mag
nctiSm exercised by Martineau over his
personal following was perceptible in
his manner with casual acquaintance.
As such, it was realized very many
years ago by the present writer when,
as an exceedingly young man fresh
from college. he was concerned in pre-
pairing some examination questions, in
which his venerable seniors, Maurice
and Martineau, with one of two more,
were to have voice.-T. II. s. Escott

An extraordinary effect of lightning
is reported from Lake Grandlieu, in
the Nantes region. A violent tempest
burst over the lake, with vivid light,
ming and thunder. A number Of boats
were ON the lake, and while they were
hurrying to bank there was a tremen-
dous peal of thunder. Almost imme-
diately there fell among the boats the
dead bodies of large flock of wild
ducks, some Of them roasted to a nice
ty, and some charred to a cinder.
Roast duck cooked by lightning reads
like novelty, even in the freaks of
meteorology. If it could only be adapt
ed to the quick lunch" system.

CURIOUS WORSHIP.
The Custom of Throwing Prayers a
an Idol In Japan.

The Custom of Throwing Prayers at
an Idol In Japan.
Along the sacred road of Nikko, in
Japan, is an idol about which centers
one of the most curious worships in
the world. Upon the surface Of the
statue are seen little pieces of what
appears to be dried paper If you stand
by the idol for awhile and wait for a
worshiper to come along, you will see
what these bits of paper are. The dew
otee halts in front OF the image, then
scribbles a prayer on bit of the pa
per. The wad he then chews up into
ball and hurls at the god. If 1t
hits the face and sticks, the prayer Is
sure TO be granted, and the pious Pill
grim goes away happy. If the ball
sticks to some portion of the body, the
omen is not quite so propitious, and If
1t falls to the ground there is absolute
ly no hope.
Such a mode of prayer Is even more
curious than the praying wheels of the
Buddhists, who set the wheel revolving
and reel off prayers by machinery. AS
John L. Stoddard, the lecturer, said!
"One sees, of course, numberless
strange rites connected with religion
in travelling about the world, but
Japan is the only land l have ever
visited where deities serve as targets
for mastlcated prayers

is one, but he is nota narrow, bigoted
partisan. When elected, he will be the
Representative of the whole county.
The vast majority Of the citizens of
Cameron county prefer clean methods
Of campaigning to corrupt methods.
To the Intelligent and moral clements
in the county Mr.. Howard's clean,
honorable and dignifed campaign has
made a strong appeal, Wholly aside
from. partisan considerations, he and
his associate on the county ticket, DIR.
Bardwell, will receive the hearty sup
port of those who are disgusted with
certain so called potent methods.
In conclusion we repeat that Mr..
Howard will creditably represent the
best spirit and life and interest of the
county at Harrisburg. His keen un-
derstanding, his wellstored mind, his
gentlemanly address, his extensive ex-
perience with business and affairs, and
his wide acquaintance with men in
wide and narrow spheres, all mark him
as man who will be a credit to the
county in the halls of legislation. We
have not been claiming perfection or
infalibility for him. We do not say
that he is the only good and able man
in the county, nor that he is the only
man in the county who can success
fully organize and execute great busi-
ness undertakings. But we do say
that he stands at the heart of all that
is best in the moral, social and busi
ness life of the county, that he is truly
representative of the best that is in the
county; and for that reason the county
will only be honoring itself in honor
ing him with the office of Assembly
man.

perry. We voters are already commit
ted to one or the other of these candi-
dates, and 1t is too late now to think
of switching off. According to what
little bird istelling the people, President
Roosevelt is fast handing the govern
ment over to Rome. The latest in
stance which might be cited is the
recent appointment of Mr.. Robert J,
Wynne, Roman Catholic, to the Of
fee of Postmaster, General. 1t is true
that Mr.. Wynne, with the Presidents
strong backing, was the prime mover
and agent in unearthing and prosecut-
ing the frauds in the post office de-
partment, and that he has made him
self holy terror to the grafters; but
all this must do fornothing against the
dreadful fact that he is a Roman
Catholic.
1t will not do to imagine that any
thing is to be gained by substituting
Parker for Rooseveltin the Presidency.
Does the Independent know that its
candidate for President is RITUALS

palian?" The little Swallow is au-
thority for the information, and it
must be so if that little bird says so.

paign. In this ridiculous cry Mr..
Parker is backed up by the Times and
Evening Post of New York and by the
Public Ledger of Philadelphia. And
yet when Mr.. Cortelyou was selected
as Chairman of the Republican Nation
al Committee, these journals hailed
the choice as an indication that the
campaign would be conducted on
high plane. The scandal, if there be
one, was just as great and just as evi-
dent at the time when Mr.. Cortelyou
became National Chairman as it is now.

no scandal then. 1t is true that the

A True Friend of Farmer and Labor
ing Nan.

EDITOR CAMERON COUNTY PRESS
There is no greater friend of the
working man than Mr.. Josiah Howard.
This is easily seen by the contentment
of his employees. He is giving several
hundred men employment, but there
are no strikes, no labor troubles of any
kind among his men. Take trip up
to the new mill and hear what the men
will say in regard to their work and
pay. The majority of them have
worked for the G. B. Howard Co.,
many years, and will probably work
many years more. The mill pay roll
will average better than 1926 per day
to each man the year around. No body
of workmen are better paid, or better
used than the G. B. Howard Company's
men. Mr.. Howard is a candidate for
Member of Assembly, on the Republi-
can ticket. Nobody has the least
doubt but what he is fully capable to
represent the people, and that he has
the grit and determination to do what
he believes will benefit the masses, re-
gardless of what others think. And
there is no question but what the
laboring man and farmer will be as
well represented as the man of money.
In view of these facts, and also the fact
that Mr.. Howard is a farmer himself.
all workingmen and farmers should
vote for Mr.. Josiah Howard for Mem
Der of Assembly at the coming elect
ion.
