PRERoeATlvEs OF RANK.
Why Jed Resigned as Chief of Bram
 bleviIle Fire Department.

The Brambleville postmaster looked out with frown from his barred win. dow at the returned traveller who was questioning him. T can't go out O. this pen O mine till the Es!rs dis tlibuted," he said, with resentment. The new rules and regulations don't hardly let man breathe. What was 1t you asked me about the fire de partment?
 No, Jed isn't chief any more. That's all owing to the city folks that come here now and try to run our whole village.
 There was little spark of a fire down in one O their cottages, an be- cause our fire department didn't get there quite as quick as they expected they instituted inquiries'-Pm giving you their own words-and when they found the two ladders had been in Jeds orchard, an that had made a little delay. they rained such lot O talk that Jed resigned.
 "As he said, if the chief O the fire department hasn't got the right to Dor row couple O ladders from the en- zine house when he needs 'em to pick his fruit. who has? r.-...
 But you can't reason much with these city folks. They're a kind of a high-handed lot"-Youth's Compan- for.

Chaplain Hnle Says That Ecclesfas-
 ticism, Not Gods Service, Rules.
 BOSTON, June 1. - At the forty eighth annual convention of the Free Religious Association of America in the Parker Memorial church here sev- eral prominent ministers and laymen contributed to the programme.
 The Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. D., the chaplain of the senate at Wash ington, gave the principal address of the day. He said in part:
 My four years in Washington have given me an excellent opportunity to study the religion of America, and find that 1t consists of ecclesiasticism and not service.
 There were forty-eight religious conventions in the city during the last session of congress-twelve weeks-and all that was attempted or done was to perpetuate the life of themselves. Ec- clesiasticism stops progress all the world over. The thing they ought to seek is progressive religion.

'Don't Chew Your Meat, Bolt It.-


 WASHINGTON, June 1. Don't chew your meat; bolt it." is the star tling advice of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist of the United States gov. ernment. This statement was ampli. fled by the following explanation: Flesh eating animals never chew their food. They bolt it. Man by chew ing his meat makes it indigestIble. The saliva mixed with the meat forms an alkaline. Before the meat can be d. gested that alkaline must be neutral ized. Chewing mechanically Is a good thing. for 1t breaks up the meat. but practically it Is a bad thing. for 1t makes it hard to digest. Of course chewing is beneficial when eating starchy substances"

4 SAD MISTAKE.

When the Governor of Massachu- setts refused to consider the question of giving Jesse Pomeroy more free- dom some doubtless thought he was 8 little hard-hearted. But most of the people of Massachusetts feel safer with Jesse Pomeroy right where he is. It Is hard to tell where to draw the line in dealing with dangerous crin- inals, but the people of Illinois are wishing that their board of pardons had drawn 1t differently in the case of the negro Walton, who killed Mrs Grant in Chicago He was kindly let out of the Joliet prison only five months ago. He was sent there in 1900 on a sentence of from one to fourteen years for burglary and as- sault and he had already served one term in the Missouri State prison for the same offenses. When released from Joliet on parole his record was known and his dangerous character we'll un- derstood. That he should not have been turned out upon the community again is thoroughly understood now.
 Of course this was only a mistake, but 1t was very unfortunate one. The narole system has worked so well that it is a pity to have it discredited by such an incident as this.

After much preliminary discussion and a careful scanning of figures and cost, the German government con- templates the widening and improve ment of the North Sea and Baltic canal. In round figures, the depth of the canal is to be increased from twenty-nine to thirty-six feet, and the bottom will measure IA feet across instead of half this width, as at pres ent Tn two places new cuttings are to be made, in order to do away with existing curves, which are regarded as objectionable. Passing places will be provided every six miles, and four of these enlargements are to be still further widened to allow vessels to turn around. The new locks will be HOO feet long by 150 feet in width. the depth of water being forty-six feet at the ordinary canal level. The al- terations are for the purpose of all lowing war vessels of the Dread nought pattern to pass through the canal. This In the present condition of the North Sea and Baltic canal Is not possible When the new canal is finished 1t will completely alter the strategic map of Europe, so far, at least, ais the countries of the Contin- ent are concerned.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The rricnninl Convention.
(Bridgeport Farmer.)


 As what Is now called the Protestant Episcopal church was first planted in Virginia where Anglican clergy had been sent to minister to the colon- ists 1t Is happy coincidence that It's tercentennial anniversary should be held in Richmond and should happen Ito occur in the year appointed for It's customary triennial convention. In Virginia prior to the Revolution 1t was an Established Church on the English model, It's clergy being by law entitled to payment often in the shape of q stipulated quantity of tobacco. The church in Virginia was disestablished mainly through the influence of Jef- ferson. It had neither been as intol- erant nor as politically influential as Puritanistn had been in New England and in some States, Connecticut among them, continued to be for some years after the severance of the American colonies from England.
 Several questions of more than ordin- ary interest will come before the con- vention for action. By the constitu- tion of the church the office of pre- siding bishop is held by the prelate whose conservation to the Episcopate was prior to that Of the rest of his brethren, He inherits It. For many years it was held by Bishop Brownell of Connecticut who in the later years of his long life was incapacitated by age from discharging it's duties. Later it was held by his successor in the dio- cese of Connecticut, the loved Bishop Williams, whose memory is cherished by all who were fortunate enough to have known him. It is proposed to make the position elective by the bish- ops, and that it's incumbent shall be relieved from special diocesan duty and maid salary by the church in general X question likely to cause & good deal of controversy is the proposed appoint ment of special bishops, colored. to have charge of colored congregations, of which It Is said there. are several at the South. Such discrimination between the white and the colored brethren will meet with opposition from those who hold that there should be none, but it Is said to be desired by l n large number of colored Episcopal ians who think they do not receive as much attention from the white bishops as they should.

SOCIETIES AT YAEE.

The story printed in the news col- umns of The Journal and Courier yesterday of the determination of the non-society members of the senior class in the Sheffield Scientific school to elect only representatives of their own number to class offices sets forth anew a perfectly natural condition in the undergraduate life at Yale.
 It is largely mistaken idea that so- ciety men seek to control the class honors for society reasons, That they usually do is to be explained on the ground that as body they are active In the social government of the univer- sity and in addition possess all of the advantages of organization. Non-soci- ety men are embarrassed for the want of organization, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, for lack of ener- getic interest in the social life of the institution 1t is a condition which would not change If there were no societies. The few would organize just the same and control the situation.
 It is always possible for the non- society men to control if they really want to. They have the numbers. What they must have is leader. That means organization.

IS HE INFERIoRq

Is the total abstainer from intoxi- eating drinks an inferior being? Not if he knows himself, but does he know himself as well as that eminent Eng fish physician, Sir James Crichton- Browne. knows him? Sir James says the total abstainer is endowed with a high degree of viability of rather low level type. The quality as well as the quantity of life must be consider ed, and that of total abstainers is, he Is satisfied good and sound, but not of the very finest brand. He desires to speak of total abstainers with the utmost respect. There are among them men of marked ability; they are, as a body, animated by the highest and most benevolent principles, but they are naturally sober minded and sober sided, and comparatively exempt from those nervous tensions and strains that shorten life, apart altogether from an excessive indulgence in alco- hol They are probably by tempera- ment less susceptible to diseases of va rious kinds than their fellow mortals of more mobile and volatile organiza- tion, and they are also less liable to endanger health by exposing them selves to excessive wear and tear It will, Sir James telieves. be found that as rule they arc engaged in the less hazardous occupations of life, and that is a point of great importance; for the duration of life is undoubtedly largely determined by the nature of the pursuits to which 1t Is devoted.
 Tn other words, the total abstainer is not of a fiery, strenuous make, and genius of any kind is rarely associated with total abstinence. This will give the Prohibitionists something to chew on when they have time.
