Cactus FOR CATT'LE.

the southern United States, would add greatly To
the value of stock food and render the fear and

The announcement recalled to some of the older

Burbanks opinion of its value as a cattle food
the specimens discovered always grew where they
were protected from cattle. Not single cactus
was found where the wandering herds had access
to It, When one of these plants brought to
the cattle, however they ate it, the roots.
The spineless cactus thus shown to be a
cattle food. and further experiments have proved
still more fully the same fact. The result has been
that several cattlemen. especially those owning
grazing lands subject to drouths nave planted
thousands OF cuttings from these spinelcss cactus

their cattle in time of drouth: must
DC remembered that the cactus stores moisture

Samples of the spineless cactus found here have

Traits of Indians

The Indian believes when a man Is
so unfortunate as to lose an eye he is
entitled to two wives, and he generally
gets them.
The wolf has regular name and is
never mentioned as a wolf, but is ac-
credited with having soul and is con-
sidered almost human.
An Indian never goes on hunt soon
after attending a funeral, knowing
that game will detect his whereabouts
readily after being at funeral.
The medicine man always takes
charge of all in camp when on a hunt.
He places his medicines in the ground
with great pomp before building his
camp fire. The fire is never removed
while the hunt is in progress.
The Indian has never yet attained
that degree of civilization necessary to
kill, while in anger, his father. mother,
brother. sister or child.--Kansas City
Journal.

eirth of Man Increasing

An excellent illustration of the value
OF records has been afforded lately re-
garding the question of physical degen-
eracy. A firm in the north of England
has compared the measurements for
clothing made two generations ago
with those of today, the results going
to show that chest and hip measure
ments are now three inches on the
average more than they were sixty
years ago. The same conclusion is
reached by the experience OF the ready
made clothiers. These facts. whatever
may be their generality. do not quite
dispose OF the question of degeneracy.
They are what we should expect from
the more abundant and cheaper food
OF the people, their better housing and
improved sanitary surroundings; but
the testimony regarding the unfitness
of recruits and progressive lack of
stamina in town, and especially manu-
featuring populations. cannot be disre-
garded. The girth OF man may be in
creasing, but. like fatting hog. is not
corpulency bringing clumsiness?

SMUGGLING BY MOTOR CAR

Automobiles are being used to SNUG
gle goods across the frontiers in Eu-
rope. The trick is becoming more COM
mon as the popularity Of motor cars
increases on the continent. The adapt
ability Of the motor car to the purposes
of the land smuggler has tempted many
to run the gauntlet" with all kinds Of
dutiable goods, and now that a few
cases have come to light the customs
officials are devoting unusual attention
to those folks who show a preference
for travelling in their cars under cover
Of darkness.
On the French frontier recently sus-
picions were aroused by the frequent
night excursions over the Berlin side
by a particular motor car. An ann
buscade was laid and as a challenge
only resulted in the speed Of the car
being increased obstacles were placed
in its way. The occupants of the car
decamped, and when the vehicle was
searched G125 worth of Moravian to-
bacco was seized. Both the car and its
contents were confiscated.

ES0TERIC NATURE OF
NEW TESTAMENT

The Rev. j. S. Thomson, pastor of
the Independent Church of Christ, in
Dobinson auditorium preached a ser
mon on "The Esoteric Nature of the
New Testament" He said
"Christ's parallels contain inner
meanings. Sometimes he had to re-
veal those meanings to his disciples
These parallels have literal and spirit
ual Specifications. But we are told
that the letter killeth, but the spirit
giveth life. This esoteric meaning of
the sacred scriptures was observed and
pointed out by such fathers of the
church as Clemens of Alexandria, JUS
tin Martyr and Origen. Philo, the
famous Jewish expositor of the Old
Testament, claimed that he had dis
covered an inner or esoteric meaning
in the holy writings of his people. Paul
assures us that the spiritual man can
detect and enjoy these secret meanings,
and he also declares that the natural
man Chat is, the psychic man) re-
ceiveth not the things of the spirit of
God. for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned.
"In the ancient Christian church can
didates for membership had to pass
through three degrees before the spirit
ual mysteries could be communicated
to them. The successful candidates
were called the elect or the perfect.
and Paul says that he could talk with
the perfect about spiritual wisdom and
religious mysteries.
I'm science, philosophy, music, paint
ing, sculpture and business, technical
terms are used. He who is a layman
in relation to these and other learned
professions may hear the technical
language without comprehending its
meaning"

"H0USE BEAUTIFUL"
SUBJECT OF SERMON

The morning service at Temple Bap-
tist church was again the scene of the
ordinance of baptism yesterday. In the
evening a Fanny Crosby Song Ser
vice." commemorating the eighty-sac
ond anniversary of the birth of the
noted hymn writer, formed the musical
part of the service. In the morning the
Rev. Robert j. Burdette preached on
the subject, 1.-THE House Beautiful" He
said in part:
In whom all the building fltly
framed together, groweth unto an holy
temple in the Lord, in whom yet also
are builded together for an habitation
of God through the spirit That's the
House Beautiful, the Church of God.
You remember, in The Pilgrims Prog
ress,' that the man is alone when the
open book in his hand whispers word
of warning that awakens his sleeping
conscience and makes him cry aloud,
What shall I do?' Alone he leaves his
home, his family and kinsmen and runs
toward the shining wicket gate; his
false advisers mislead him and leave
him to his woe, and he journeys on
alone. Alone he enters the straight gate.
Alone he is shown the beautiful Won
ders of the revelation in the house of
the Interpreter. Alone he stands before
the cross and loses his burden of sin.
"And in all the rest of that chapter,
you remember, he sits with the family
and relates his Christian experience.
That's his first prayer meeting, his first
covenant meeting. And he will never
be alone again. And the man who says,
I will love Jesus, and follow him, and
serve him, but l will not join the
church, shuts the door Of the House
Beautiful in his own face; shuts him
self out of the love and communion of
the saints, the joy and peace and
sweetness of the home; shrinks away
from the gentle hand of the Master
Builder. who would fit him somewhere
into his holy temple, builded for an
habitation of God"

and slipped through the fingers Of Sir
Henry clinton Americas liberties were
rescued from almost certain strangula-
tion. Had washington stayed to OBJ
stinately hold his ground after the
bloody battle Of Long Island, the
American army would have been ami.
hllsted or captured.
"It is not always good plan for 9
general to cut his bridges behind him.
Had there been no retreat from Bo-
hemia after the battle of Kolin, and no
evacuation Of Berlin after the slaughter
Of Kunersdorf, there would have been
no humiliation of Maria Theresa. and
no Frederick the Great, whose name has
been the marvel not only of Prussia
but of all Europe and the civilized
world. Nathaniel Greene. the mighty
military leader Of the Revolutionary
Washington, was aptly called The
Great Retreater.' He never won a de-
cisive battle in his life. SO It has been
with other military chieftalns. There
is strategy in eluding foe whose
strength is superior. Many a general
has kept the field and worn out the
patience OF an enemy by avoiding a
decisive battle, and in the end has
proved victorious.

the foreigners, praying and hoping, and
hoping and praying in the missionary
compounds of Peking, waiting for the
allied troops to deliver them from their
impending fate during the Boxer upris-
Ing of China in 1900. They were too
strong as body to have to surrender.
They were not strong enough as a body
TO fight their way to the English ships.
And so, hemmed in and driven in on all
sides, they just stood their ground fight
ing for their existence by day and
sleeping on their guns by night. They
were waiting-simply waiting. They
were standing still, to see the salvation

OPEN WEEKS MISSION
AT ST. MARY'S CHURCH

The Revs. M. P. Smith, C. S. p, and
John Marks, c. S. p, opened a mission
to continue one week at St. Mary's
church. Boyle Heights, yesterday. The
services commenced with high mass
at 10 a. M, at which Father Smith
preached the sermon. Father Handy
preached the evening sermon.
Both priests are eloquent and mag
netic speakers and it is expected the
present mission will be one of the
most successful conducted by them in
Southern California. They have been
giving missions in this diocese since
the first of the year, during which time
5000 conversions have been made.
The services will be held each day
at and a. M, with short instruc-
tions, and each evening at 1880 O'Clock,
with sermons. The question box will
also be used, the questions to be an
swered from the pulpit.
The mission conducted the past two
weeks at the Church of st. Thomas
the Apostle closed with the service
last evening, when Father Mulligan,
S. j., preached on the subject of per
severance" Following the sermon the
papal benediction was given. A
league of the Sacred Heart was
formed last evening. During the week
sodalities of the Blessed Virgin were
formed for men and women.

evidence. The making Of a knight that
shall measure up to the high ideals OF
the present is the noblest of fine arts.
No art In ancient or modern times is so
noble; It involves the highest, the
purest, the strongest and the most un-
selfish gifts in man. The Pythian
sibilities Of splendid citizenship. of un-
dying friendship, Of the model husband
and wise father are in him. It Is be-
this order offers an inspiration for
noble things that its being is justified.
Men have their longings for the good
but are sluggish. They are ever dues-
tioning, rs II worth while to try?' The
strong realities Of life often drive one
to the verge Of despair, but Pythianlsm.
with its brotherly love and devotion, Is
an inspiring pledge Of fidelity that
makes man confident of the future,
ready to do and dare.
"Pythianism has gathered its ideals
like every kindred organization from
the devoted self-sacrificing life that
kindled once the model of excellence.
"In the making of a knight this is
of the. utmost Importance. The ideals
must ever he before him. The builder
can never frame and perfect his temple
or factory or palatial residence IL the
ideal Is wanting. A machlnist an en-
gineer who would span the river, must
have his ideals of the structure that will
meet the needs. Even the shoemaker
must have his ideals In the last about
which he draws the leather.
80 he, who would make of himself
a noble and true knight. must set before
himself the highest ideals"
