Church Troubles at Middletown.

At the close Of the services in the
Lutheran Church at Middletown, Md. /,
last Sunday, congregational meet
ing was held to take action on the res.
ignation of the pastor, Rev. M. L.
Beard, who has accepted a call to
Thurmont. After the reading Of the
resignation a motion was made that
it be not accepted. The motion Was
unanimously carried, there not being
dissenting vote. Resolutions were
also offered and unanimously passed
deploring the present discord in the
church, denouncing those responsible
for it, warning and beseeching "theae
disturbers of our peace to desist from
b cir pernicious acts" and calling up
on all members of the church who pro-
TESS allegiance to God to use every
effort to bring to a speedy termination
"that warfare which was engendered
in envy and born of passion"
The resolution further says: "We
commend our pastor for his conduct
and we assure him of our confidence
and pledge him our support"
At special meeting of the council
of the church Monday night motion
was passed Diminishing the organist
and ordering him to turn over the
organ keys. At previous meeting
of the council a motion was passed
asking the organist for his resignation.

Big Horses Sell Best

The call is for big horses and plen'
ty of size is among the principal quail
tiles sought for in all classes of horses,
be it hunter, harness horse or cart
horse. 1t is trite saying among
horsemen that good big horse will
always beat good little one, and it
certainly holds good in so far as con-
Germs the market value of horses.
The fact of horse possessing pie nty
of size renders it more readily salab lie,
as we'll as more valuable. Two inche g
more or less in the height ola horse
may make all the difference to a
breeder between a profitable sale.
Mere height at the withers alone does
not constitute what is really meant
by "size" at any rate, not from the
breeders point Of view. Size means
bigness generally, height being com.
bined with corresponding degree of
substance; and in the case of cart
horses, of weight. When horse is
merely tall, having plenty Of height
at the withers, but lacks the requi-
site substance and bigness of build.
being unduly leggy or weedy. it will
not impress buyer favorably, but

No Time For Surgery.

The average woman thinks the sun
and stars would cease to shine sooner
than that she could interfere with the
regular routine Of household duties. A
Sabetha woman was recently informed
by her physician that she would have
to have an operation performed. She
said she didn't see how she could;
that Monday was washing day, Tues
day ironing day, Wednesday the mis-
sionary society met, Thursday was the
day to clean up, Friday to bake, Sat-
urday to give the children their baths

ANCIENT BELLS.
Well Known to the Egyptians Before
the Jewish Exodus.

Well Known to the Egyptians Before
the Jewish Exodus.
Bells were well known to the Egyp-
tians before the time Of the Jewish ex-
odus. In the description Of Aaron's
sacerdotal robe mention is made OF the
fact that upon the hem Of the garment
there were bells Of gold alternating
with pomegranates of blue, Of purple
and Of scarlet: "a golden bell and a
pomegranate; q golden bell and pome-
granate upon the hem Of the robe
round about. And it shall be upon
Aaron to minister, and his sound shall
be heard when he goeth into the holy
place before the Lord and when he
cometh out, that he die not"
Hand bells were In common use all
over the ancient world. The earliest
use of bells in churches was for the
purpose of frightening away the evil
spirits which were believed to lnfest
earth and air, and the earliest curfew
was rung at nightfall to rid the neigh
borhood of the village or town and
church OF demons. Most old cnurcnes
of Europe have a small door on the
north side, and at certain points IN the
service this door was opened and a
bell was rung to give notice to the deV-
II, if he CHANGED to be present, that he
might make his exit before the eleva-
tion. BY the command Of Pope John
TX. church bells were rung as protec-
ton against thunder and lightning.
The monument Of Porsena, the Etru-
rian king, was decorated with pima
cles, each surmounted with a bell,
which tinkled In the breeze. The army
of Clothaire raised the siege Of Sens
on account of panic occasioned among
the men by a sudden chime from the
bells of st. Stephens church.

"The bravery of young men, said
Rear Admiral BUTLER at Atlantic City,
"is fact that l shall never cease to
marvel over. Did you ever hear of a
hope too forlorn, a risk too over
whelming. for the young men of the
armies and navies of the world TO un-
dertake
IF only the young mems wisdom
equaled their braveryl But that is
impossible. Sometimes l think boys
have so much bravery that there is
no room in them for anything else.
II used to know a boy who was
brave enough, but reckless, careless,
extravagant. He accumulated aquan-
thy of debts.

Tho Sardinfans.

Sardinia was wild place in the mid
die Of the last century. A traveller
says: "The men are clothed In goat
skins, one before and another behind,
without breeches, shoes or stockings,
and a wooden or skin cap on the head.
The women have no other habiliments
than long wooden gown and wooden
cap. The peasants always go armed
to defend themselves from one another,
80 that travelling In the interior Is ex-
tremely unsafe without an escort, and
it Is even dangerous for ships to send
their people on shore for water unless
they are we'll armed. In short, the
Sardes are the Malays of the Mediter-
ranean."

PEPYS AND EVELYN.
difference In Methods Of These Two
Famous Diarfsts.

Famous Diarfsts.
Pepys' narrative is always dramatic
himself being the center of the play
while Evelyn is historical, pathetic or
didactic, as the mood seizes him. Pepys
gives us the comedy Of his time, as
Plautus and Terence gave us the COM
edy of theirs. Evelyn, on the other
hand, has something Of Livy In bis
composition and not little Of Cicero.
Compare, for instance, their treatment
of the great fire, and you may measure
the distance between them. Thus 1t Is
that Pepys' account begins: "Some Of
our maids, sitting up late last night to
get things ready against our feast to-
day, Jane called us up about 3 In the
morning to tell us of great fire they
saw in the city. So / rose and slipped
on my nightgown and went to her win
dow" And now turn to Evelyn and
see the temper in which he views the
destruction Of the city. "The clouds
of smoke were dismal and reached up
on computation near fifty miles In
length" he writes the day after the
fire. THUS l left It this afternoon
burning, a resemblance Of Sodom or
the last day. 1t forcibly called to my
mind that passage, Non enim hic ha-
bemus stabilem civitatem,' the ruins
resembling the picture Of Troy. Lon
don was, but it is no more"
Pepys sets the scene before you like
n man; Evelyn reflects upon the TRACE
dy like a writer, ingenious IN reference
and quick with allusion. We need not
discuss which is the better method, but
1t may surely be said that the world
will produce another hundred Evelyns
before it fashions a fitting rival for
Pepys.-London Spectator.

Natures Methods.

When one is sick there Is usually
something in the stomach that nature
wants to throw up. When one has diar-
rhea nature Is striving to remove Of
Tending material from the system.
When one perspires profusely nature Is
getting rid Of blood poisons through the
skin. One should never attempt to
check any such effort without being
sure that its arrest will be beneficial.
