undoubtedly be greatly stimulated In this
way the genial old man will reap sub
stantial reward from the premature an
nouncement OF his decease.
Several labor members OF parliament
have been telling what books helped them

obtained his first stimulus from a transla-

hood and Indifference to extremes of heat
or cold. He credits John Stuart Mil with
having done most to make him socialist
by his failure to refute the arguments of
the socialists.
F. W. Jowett says: "The book which ~
made me want to read was Ivanhoe': (2)
led me to think and reflect was Past and
Present. ca made me socialist was Unto
This Last"

haustive Investigations regarding the al

the theory is absolutely false.
With the aid of a large staff of enthG-
siastic medical helpers, the eyes OF more
than 1900 school children were exam

collected and studied The professor fiEds

cases declared that their defective sight
had existed from birth. as long they
could remember.
DIR. Schnabel declares that his investiga
tons prove that school work never pro
duces extreme short sightedness, but only
a slight myopia, which, far from being
disadvantage. may even be regarded Q
benent. For. he says, persons with normal
sight, although they can see distant objects
quite clearly. cannot read nor write with
out the aid of glasses when they reach tbs
age OF fifty, whereas the slightly short
sighted individual can always read anc
write quite comfortably. and requires
glasses only for distant objects-a mEet
happier state of things.

LONDON. June Is.
To be made the subject OF premature

day only to be publicly resurrected the

unique claim to distinction The Rev. s.
Baring-Gould has earned 1t. The death OF
his cousin and namesake in South Africa
caused the report 10 be published all over

referred to in the old chronicles as 'the
emperor Of the Piscataways."

Piscataway has neither railroad. steam

Of 1863 the Maryland and Virginia troops
occupied the town as a frontier post to
protect the southern settlers and Indians
against the more northerly tribes, mainly
the Senecas. The Virginia troops were un-

Maj. Thomas Truman. AS the Indians
were checked. punished and driven back,
white settlers moved northward. and In
1892, the year of the establishment Of the

way had become an important town and
the center of rich and aristocratic re-
gion. Great plantations lay all around 1t
and seagoing ships came alongside its
wharves. White settlers had extended
themselves northward to the Eastern
branch, but the center of population of
the parish was between Piscataway and
Oxon Hill. For that reason, though the
parish extended to the Pennsylvania boun-
dairy. the parish church was erected near
the south boundary.
The first church of Piscataway parish
has been variously called Piscataway
Church, King Georges, st. Johns and
Broad Creek. The vestry records of this
church begin in 1898. the year after the
creation of the parish. but church his
