The superiority Of the Mule.

The mule is less nervous than the
horse and. therefore, loses less energy
fretting. In fact, one Of the cniei
characteristics of the mule is his aDii-
;tv To take care of himself under all
circumstances. Much of the apparent
sbirking which is charged against the
mule is an Unborn tendency to nus
hand his strength and make every ell
fort count. The result of this instinct
i've care on part of the mule is that ne
is able to turn out more work tnan
would be possible for horse OF the
same weight under the same condi-
tions. The mule instinctively AVOIDS
holes. sharp obstacles, barDed-Wire
fences and various other forms OF dan
per which are not SO successfully
avoided by horses. 1t is a matter OF
common observation that in instances
where mules run away they seldom
iniurs themselves to any serious ex-
tent In mining, mules are quite SUI
nerior to horses for the reason that
they seem to understand the require,
ments and dangers of the work more
clearly than orses.-Farming.

THE Bee STING CURE.

Councilman M. L. Buchanan, OF
Spring City, who was stung on the
arm a few weeks ago for the cure OF
took two more stings on
the left leg. Yesterday he had Sc
we're attack in his legs, with the re-
suit that he was assisted to the Jesse
Mostelier Bee Farm, at Spring City,
where his leg was barred and stung by
bees. Within 15 minutes afterward
he declared that rheumatism had left
his leg.
Phillip Weber, a neighbor and help
er of M. Mosteller, in using the bee
sting on patients, tried a sting on his
black mare, and the way the animal
acted and carried on in the stable can
never induce him to try the cure again
on himself. The horse had fallen, and
it's front legs were so sore and swollen
that Weaver thought perhaps she hac
contracted rheumatism. Therefore
bee was placed on the horses foreieg
below the knee, and when the pee
stung her the animal became frantic
and nearly trampled Weaver undel
her feet. The swelling, however, has
been reduced, and when driven thi'
afternoon the animal showed little
signs of soreness-Rogersford, Pa

At midnight Saturday all the work

North River was stopped for review
of the work already done. AS the tun-
mel is now rapidly nearing completion,
it is desirable to verify the measure
ment, SO that when the two enormous
tubes meet they shall meet in per-
feet alignment. When the work was
stopped on Saturday night the two
tubes we're still 1875 feet apart. The
engineers say that they expect the
tubes to meet by September IL. The
event will mark the completion Of one
of the boldest engineering feats ever
undertaken.
The review of the work, which is to
take six days, will be under the SUPER

gineer, and James Forgie, principal
assistant engineer of the North River

CHRISTIAN" PLAYS
"oNLY sATAN's SOP TO CATCH
SILLY SAINT"
Nashville Preacher Strongly De
nounces Theaters, Prize Fighting
Racing and Football.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 9.-In
sensational sermon at the Central
Baptist church tonight, the Rev.
George R. Lotion, leader among
Southern Baptists, went after the
dance, the theater, the slugger. the
race track and football.
The theater, he said, had always
belonged to the devil, especially SO in
modern times. 1.-The recent efforts to
put Christian plays on the stage is
only Satan's sop to catch the silly
saint" was one of his conclusions.
OF the slugger, he said: THE modern
smuggling match is only a relic of bar
barism and is unquestionably OF the
devil. 1t is but little less in brutality
than the slaughter of human victims
in the Roman amphitheater, and don't
know but that the Spanish bull figh'
is more respectable, where only th-
innocent bull is usually the victim.
"Cock-6ghting, bear-baiting and th'
hike, are all inhuman and devillsh' Ou
