Personal EXPERIENCE OF AGED AND
WELLBELOVED PREACHER
No other man in the community is
so well-bcloved or whose words have
such weight as the minister, who has
devoted his life in the service of man
kind. In Maryland one of the most
noted Methodist ministers in the State
suffered severely with rheumatism. He
found no relief until Il friend recon-
mendcd RHEUMACIDE. He was 50
delighted with tho results that for the
benefit of other sufferers, as ii duty to
mankind, he tells experience in the
following letter:

by eight to seven. Then Represen-
tative Lockhart moved to report
favorably, and this lost by eight to
seven, really nine to seven when
Chairman Hawkins voted. The chair
man stated that he regarded the vote
as one nnfavorable to the bill, and
there was no appeal from his ruling.
The error in counting by the secre-
tary was made because several peo-
pie were standing whom he under
stood to be members of the committe,
as verifcation of the vote by Chair
man Hawkins and Secretary Wells,
the roll of members being used, show
ed that there wree nine who had voted
against the bill and seven for it.
There was so much confusion DUR
ing the taking of the vote, the mem
bers standing, that it was exceeding
ly difficult to tally it, but a number
of gentlemen who have looked into
the matter agree to the facts as
stated above"

There was peculiar sound from the

Of the Birdlovers' Society sat in the
window of her friends country home
one summer afternoon.
She quickly took her small Bird

rapidly turned the leaves. At last she
paused with a smile of satisfaction,
and listened. with her finger between
two leaves of the little book, till the
sound came again.
When 1t was repeated an expression
of doubt fitted across her features, but
/ still she was hopeful.

Table Mustard.

Common, ordinary, everyday table
mustard obtained its name in remark
ably curious way. 1t is said that Philip,
Duke Of Burgundy, granted to DIXON
some armorial bearings on which was
the motto, "Moult me tdrde."
This was later carved in stone arch

by the central word became effaced. A
certain firm In the city was engaged
in the manufacture Of sinapi, which
was the former name for mustard, and,
wishing to label its products with the
city arms, copied the incomplete motto.
Thus, ignorant people seeing the
name "moult-tdrde" on the jars, fell
into the custom of calling the contents
by. that title. In time "moult-tdrde"
was contracted to moutGrde (mustard)

Nation to Pay Double the Cost of the
Private Lines.
Now that the japanese government
has undertaken to nationalize seven
teen private railways, having a total
of 1887 miles of line, at a cost of AL
100000 yen ($21U,000,000), or about
$4,000 a mile, the latest annual report
of lchijl Yamanouchi, director of the
imperial bureau Of railways of Japan,
for the fiscal year ended March 81,
1905, becomes Of the highest historical
and comparative value
The total mileage open for traffic In
1905 was 4,693, divided as follows:
Government railways, 1,461 miles; pri-
vate railways, 1929 miles. This showed
an Increase Of nearly 1913 miles over
1904. 81.
Calculating the japanese yen at 80
cents commercially 1913 cents), the
cost of construction Of the mileage

1t will be perceived that the Japan
