massacre of the Christian Indians,
March s, 1772. Concerning this no.
table history making period Of the
Revolutionary war, William Dean
HoWells has said: 1.-The annals Of the
Moraylan Church link in the same
chain of sorrows and calamities the
burning of John Hus in 1915 at Con-
stance and the murder Of the hapless
Christian Indians at Gnadenhutten on
the Muskingum" Mr.. Heckewelder
was a missionary among the Indians
for more than fifty years, and was at
one time commissioned by Washing
ton to make treaties with them. Mr..
Heckewelders' ancestors were eXtles
from Moravia who fed to SaXony,
leaving behind them all they posses
sed for conscience sake. His parents
settled in Bedford, England, and en-
gagged in the work Of the Moravian
Church. John was born on March II,
1743 In 1854 the family came to
America In a vessel owned by the
Moravian church, and eight years
later John began missionary work

SOME AMERICAN CHURCHES OF NOTE.

e a
The sick, the lame and the afflicted
from all parts of the country have long
made pilgrimages to plain little
church In the village of Carey, o., to
a healing shrine" where many people
claim to have been cured of their in
firmitfes. This church, known as Our
Lady of Consolation Church, is one
of several church in the Buckeye
State which have become famous
throughout the Nation. The late Pope
Leo recognized it as pilgrimage
church, and better still he sent to 1t
an ante-pendium and altar outfit.
The interesting history of this
church dates back to the arrival in
this country of band of people from
the European province of Luxem-
bourg-the province in which pestil7
ence wrought most dire distress in the
Sixteenth century. 1t will be recalled
that the few who survived this
scourge erected in Luxembourg a
church to the memory of the Holy Vir-
gin. At the dedication Of this church,
1t is claimed, statue Of the Holy
Virgin and her child was found upon
the altar whereupon its origin was
generally accepted as divine. Many

Told in Pantomipe.

Theodore Thomas, in conducting an
orchestra, seemed impassive, imper-
turbable. A writer in the Outlook,
commenting upon this, says that he
was apparently without passion or
feeling. Yet the appearance was not
reality, and at one of Mr.. Thomas
rehearsals 1t was fully contradlcted.
At certain point in the sy mphony
the orchestra was playing in perfect
time and tune, but with a certain
mechanical effect which no one had
noticed until Mr.. Thomas suddenly
raped the music-stand before him.
The orchestra stopped. Then with
his hand he initiated the action of an
organ-grinder.
With only word to indicate the
bar at which the orchestra was to
take up the music, he struck the rack
before him for attention, and with a
movement Of his baton gave the
signal.
The orchestra repeated the passage
he had criticized by dumb show, and
this time they played with spirit and
fire.

A young woman of New York was
struck on the nose by a foul ball
while attending a session of the ma
tioqal game. She sued the owners of
the club for $500. Justice McLaugh-
lin Of New York, In trying the case,
rendered decision unfavorable to the
young woman. He decided that any
one who watches ball game does so
at his or her own risk. II they are
injured the law gives them no oppor-
tuntty to sue for damages. They must
take their chances" OF course! The
finding Is in accordance with the true
spirit of the national game. Born on
the corner prairie" or on the town
lot, or the school playground, baseball
was never a sport for spectators to
loll back in easy seats and watch I'M
der the protection of the law. Base
ball Is baseball. The man who at
tends a game, If he go in the proper
spirit Of the true American, takes
nearly as active part in the game as
does a player. The spectator and his
activities are part Of the game. His
gentle roofing" his mild desire for
the blood of the unfavorable umpire
are hand III hand with the ringing
three-base hit and the daring slide for
the home plate. They all have one
aim-to win for the home team. In
novations and refining influences have
made the game more satisfactory.
Better grounds, ornate grand stands
with wire screen and comfortable
seats have helped to make the viewing
OF game more pleasurable.- The re-
filming influences have reached even to
the men on the diamond. The umpire
now politely removes his cap when he
announces the batteries for the day;
the players refrain from permitting
their opinions of the umpire's deci-
sions to reach the audience. But this
Is enough along these lines. For the
refined game as it is now we are
thankful. But who would have the
game barbered, and manicured, and
rendered inocuous in a manner to fit 1t
for the drawing room or the stage?
No. Justice Mclaughlin finds wisely
and well. The baseball enthusiast
must take care Of himself while
watching his favorite game. That he
is quite able to do this Justice Nc
Laughlin is probably well aware, for
his decision suggests the possibility
that the Justice Is himself one Of the
rank and file Of the grand army of
FANS"

New England Justice.

Ebenezer Smell, the grandfather of
the poet William Cullen Bryant is
described as a good type of the New
England farmer, In whose nature
Puritanlsm, with its stern rigors of
conduct and conscience, was overlaid
with many of the amenities Of Yam
kee humor. Bryant preserved several
anecdotes Of his grandfather, one Of
which, quoted by w. A. Bradley, in
his biography Of the poet, may serve
to indicate the way in which he exer-
cised his humor, and also to show
the patriarchial conception Of Justice
that was held in remote New Eng
land community at the end of the
eighteenth century.
My grandfather, said Bryant once
found that certain pieces of lumber,
intended by him for the runners of a
sled, and called In that part of the
country sled-crooks, had been taken
without leave by farmer who lived
at no great distance. These timbers

By all the memories of "one-old-cat"

such thing and an editor circulate it?
The American people rise up in the

It with a mighty hiss. Life would not

"PoLLY PORTER"
Parrot Who Never Forgot what ne
Once Had Learned

F.
Once Had Learned
pnrhaps all parrots have equally re-
markable memories, but Twenty-Five
years acquaintance with Polly ror-
Tor" enables me to say that he never
forgets what he has once learned. Like
other parrots, when he is alone ne e1-
arctses his memory, as If amusing
himself. Then it is that Polly Porter
chatters in sentences; laughs aloud
historically; calls, In various tones
commandingly or beseech1ngly; Calls
the names of servants who, but Tor
Polly would have been forgotten; calls
the cat; whistles for dogs VINO were
about him years ago. *
Polly's cage is in the bow WINDOW
of the dining room-a good place Tor
keeping an eye on the family. When
the father rises from the breakfast
table Polly advises: Hurry! hurry
up! Hurry!' ..
Later with the first movement pre-
paratory to the children's start for
school, he repeats Sharply: AuEry
up! Hurry up! Hurry"
When a guest comes in he says
briskly, "Why, how dye do?
When he calls "Good-by" to per-
sons passing on the street 1t seems al
most certain that he reasons about
the coming and departing guest. He
quickly notices little children; COM
ing to one particular corner Of the
bottom of his cage, he t1utters before
little one, attempting baby talk,
which is very funny, ending with
beautiful child! Beautiful child!'
and a loud laugh.
When the house is quiet and his
mistress has a visitor in the parlor
Polly Graves attention.
He repeats the chlldren's names, al
most as If he were calling the roll, in
sweet, low tones. Then he says 'Ma-
ma" over and over, in childs voice,
till it is common for visitor to say,
do answer that child" or Some one
is calling you" He comes very near
to telling tales, saying, "Ah, ali!
naughty boy" with great severity.
Polly is most impatient at break
fast time, when he shrieks till he re-
ceves attention: Polly wants cof-
fee! Polly wants breakfastV'
He takes a piece Of bread cautious
ly; examines it; If 1t Is not we'll uut-
tered he throws 1t down. He enjoys
Bunch Of grapes, holding it down
with one claw while with the other
and his beak he opens grape after
grape, eats the seed and casts the pulp
away. He easily brushes a pear or an
apple TO get at the seeds.
Last Christmas Polly was sent by
his owner, a New York boy, to friends
as present. They were told of his
liyeliness and astonishing powers of
speech.
For some months Polly moped and
said nothing, but at last began calling
members Of the family by name. II
let out of his cage he fought the pug
and whipped the cat; when shut up
IN his cage for punishment he would
persistently work at the wires till he
would force them apart and walk out
defiantly. Recently he began upon his
old lessons, and now repeats the cries
Of the newsboys in the street: "Ex-
trah! EXtrah! Journal-Sun-Her
ald'' And he sings quite we'll "Yan-
kee Doodle" which was taught him
last summer.
Good-by, Polly!-St. Nicholas.

Sanskrit literature, as Sir II. Arthur
Blake has found, recognizes the trans
mission Of malaria by mosquitoes. A
passage from the Greek historian Her
odotus is reproduced in a London med
ical journal as further evidence Of the
ancient interest in the insect: "In
the parts Of Egypt above the marshes
the inhabitants pass the night upon
lofty towers, which are of great serv-
ice. as the gnats are unable to fly to
any height on account of the winds.
In the marsh country, where there
are no towers, each man possesses a
net instead. By day it serves him to
catch fish, while at night he spreads
1t over his bed In which he is to rest,
and, creeping In, goes to sleep under
meath"
