Where Parchment Is Made.

A local paper gives an interesting ac-
count of the manufacture Of parchment
in the fashioned town Of Steyning,
in Sussex. Lying under the shelter Of
the South Downs, and not far from
where the River Adur cuts through
this range, the staple industry Of Stey-
ming Is the conversion of the skin Of
the sheep into parchment
Only few of the skins brought to
the factory are finally selected as good
enough for parchment, the rest, 1t Is
said, being made into "chamois leath-
en-"
The skin is split into two layers; the
outer one Is made into leather and the
inner into parchment. Under the name
Of Stanianges Steyning Is mentioned in
Doomsday Book.-London Globe.

MIGHT HAVE sNEEzED TO DEATH
Turnham Kerchooed and KerchOoed
TIL His Daughter Shocked Him.

Turnham Kerchooed and Kerchooed
TIL His Daughter Shocked Him.
If John Turnham's. pretty daughter
Mildred had not eloped with Gilbert
Whiting her father might have sneezed
himself to death, says the Milville On.
b. correspondent of the New York
World.
The Turnham family lives between
here and Woodstock road, and Is con-
sidered prosperous. Whiting Is a sub
stantial chap, but Mr. Turnham object
ed on the ground that the young people
were too young to know their own
minds. He told them to ''walt awhile"
but love was too strong and they got
married quietly.
Miss Turnham went to Fredericton to
visit girl friend a couple of weeks ago
and six days later her father was taken
with a violent fit of sneezing. He re-
Gently became addicted to snuff, and
when he caught cold he kept right on
shifting 1t. The stuff irrltated the men,
branes of his nose so that he couldn't
stop sneezing and sent for physician.
The doctor did all that he could for
his patient, but he wheezed, coughed,
kerchooed and sneezed until the very
bones in his body seemed to rattle. The
more medicine he took the worse he be-
came and finally it was seen that he
was in a serious condition. Fearing the
worst, but hoping for the best, the fam
lily sent for Miss Mildred.
Word came back that she had left her
friend a week before, just about the
time her father took to sneezing, and
1t was supposed she was home. Mrs
Turnham was greatly frightened and
girl and Whiting walked into the house
and confessed that they had been mar.
ried.
For heavens sake don't tell your
father" exclaimed Mrs. Turnham. "the
shock will kill him."
More likely it will cure him." said
the doctor. "Blurt it out to him."
The bride confessed to her father sc
suddenly that he jumped right out OF
bed. He gave one final sneeze and
stopped. He thought second kerchoc
was coming, but it didn't and he hasn
sneezed since.
The young elopers have been for
given.

our religious conceptions change with
the onward march Of time, the eternal
verities Of religion, the underlying prin-
clples, remain fixed, as firmly estab-
lished as the eternal pillars Of the uni
verse.
And yet there are many who are
prophesying the downfall Of religion
and the death Of once living faith.
Reason" they say, has dethroned
faith"
Nothing is more remarkable about
science than the ideal nature of its re-

CHRISTIAN WORK OF WORLD.
By Bishop Samuel Fallows


The Young Peoples Society of Chris
tian Endeavor has now belted the globe
and Is on all the continents. This Is
but an expression of the growing union
of all the great bodies Of evangelical
Christendom. The Christian church Is
now becoming reused to consider the
nations like the Chinese and Japanese.
The Mikado, it Is said, is seriously con-
templating the establishment of Chris
tianity in a manner similar to that of
the Emperor Constantine in the fourth
century.
The new China Is swinging into line
with the movement Of the great world
forces of progress. The twentieth CEN
fury will witness the coming forth of
mighty people unified and aggressive,
with which every Western nation will
have to reckon.
The complete emancipation Of wom-
en-, socially, industrially and political
ly, Is not only aimed at in England
and America, but on the continent, in
India, China, Japan and Russia.
With the forbidding of the bandaging
of the feet Chinese woman has come
to the interfering of her intellect and
the enlarging Of her sphere of duty and
privilege.
Christianity must guide all these ma
tions to the divinely predetermined
brotherhood of man and the federation
Of the world.

WEALTH OF THE SOUTH.
Remarkable Increase In Riches Dur
ing Last Twenty-Five Years.

Remarkable Increase In Riches Dur
ing Last Twenty-Five Years.
Last year the South, which Is less
than 10 per cent Of the area Of the
United States proper, contributed more
than 20 per cent of the country's eX-
port trade. Cotton was the largest
single item, but there was not staple
in the long list of exports in which the
South did not have fair representation,
not only in raw materials, but in man
ufactured goods.
The commercial growth Of the South
in the last twenty-five years has been
little short of phenomenal. The figures
for it, given herewith, are taken by
the Southern Field from a speech de-
livered in Congress on June 20, 1906,
by Representative Joseph 7. Johnson,
of South Carolina.
From $257 100000 invested in capital
for factories in 1880 to $1,500,000,000 in
1905.
From $457,O0O,OO0 yearly value Of
products of factories in $1,750,O0O,0O0.
From $21,00O,000 capital invested in
cotton mills to $225 100000.
From $313,000,000 annual value of
cotton crop to $6S0,000,000.
From 225,000 bales OF cotton used in
Southern cotton mills to 2,163,000.
From $39,000,000 yearly lumber prod
uct to $25O,OO00OO.
From $4,000 tons of pig iron pro-
duced to 100000 tons.
From $261 100000 yearly value of ex-
uorts abroad to $555,000,000.
From $68O,0OO,OOO yearly value Of
farm products to $1,750,0OO,00O.
From 10000 miles Of railroad to Co.,
600 miles.
From 10000 barrels of petroleum
produced to 42,495,000.
From 45 cotton oil mills to 7SO.
From 100000 capital invested in cot
ton oil mills to $54,60O,000.
From 667,OOO splndles in cotton mills
to 9,205,000.
From 211,377 tons of phosphate
mined yearly to 1,OS7,42S.
From 397,776 tons of coke produced
yearly to 6,244,1S5
From $3,051, 100000 assessed prop
erty valuation to $6679,0OO,0OO.

Golf md the Liver.

Golf Is the greatest Of all games. 1t
is the only recreation that Is at one
and the same time health-givlng and a
complete preoccupation without being
unduly physically exhaustive. But I
am profoundly convinced that 1t is far
better for a mans liver that he should
play poor game than good one. I
know from personal experience that 1t
Is far better for the liver to play real
ly bad game. Nothing stirs up the
liver like the irritation, the excitements
and the paroxysms Of really bad
game.-London Graphic.

VOICE AT THE MODERN JORDAN.
BY Rev. Frank Newhall White

by heV. N6Wndll w nlLC.
1t is not at all out Of reason to i'm
agine the people Of our time and land
fiocking, let us say, to the shores OF
our great central river to catch the
message of some prophetic voice, and
no message can be more pertinent and
timely than that uttered on the banks
of the Jordan that ushered in the ap-
pearance of Christ: Repent! Repent
not merely Of sin, but Of very specific,
individual sins.
To young men He would say: Away
with the notion that good fellowship
means good manhood or that crafty
ing the whim of a companion con-
stitutes true friendship"
To the rich He would say: Hold
your fortune as a steward Of God and
as trustee for your fellow man. Make
your home not your castle, but foun-
tain of health" To the poor He would
say the same, for the message to poor
and to rich is one.
To the employer He would say RE
pent that you ever looked upon the
man you use as a machine or a thing.
Behold in him your brother man."
To the employe He would say the
same: There stands your brother.
Together you labor for the common
good"
To the student and scholar He would
say: Have done with your super
clliousness and pride and remember
that you are tracing the footsteps Of
God"
To the man of genius He would say
"Spurn the idea that you are law to
yourself and may have a code Of NOR
ais Of your own"
To the politician in Office and the poll.
tician out Of Office there will come the
mandatory word: Hands off from the
sacred ark of Gods covenant with His
people. To the victors belong no spoils
except the trophies of a public trust
Loyalty fulfilled"
To citizens crying, What, then, shall
we do?" will come the answer: IAN
end to the Indifference and the negli
gence that gives the spoiler his chance
to the dishonesty and corruption in pri
vate that furnish the soil and the seed
for the prostitution of high Office. Make
honest returns, pay your share Of the
taxes, do your duty at the polls"
To teachers He would say: For
shame, that ever you look upon your
occupation as a trade"
To preachers He would say: "Out
with the time server and the adven
turer and the wolf in sleeps clothing
To priests and Levites He would
point to the men lying by the roadside
and men everywhere in need.
To the church, supremely, He would
ring out His one great word: Repent
Down upon your knees pray to God to
intermit the plague that needs must
follow on age-long stagnation and in
gratitude"

On to the woodshed, miles away,
After some coal for an icy day;
It's pity there aren't enough words

To express what think of the beautiful

Oh, the snow,. the beautiful snow,

Digging path with wild vehemence,
Pasted by snowballs from over the fence,
Freezing, swearing,

CARRY LOADS ON THE HEAD.
West Indian Natives Expert in Bal
ancing Their Heavy Burdens.

West Indian Natives Expert in Bal
ancing Their Heavy Burdens.
The natives of Jamaica, in the Brit
ish West Indies, are universally noted
for their ability to carry burdens on
their heads. In reality 1t is the only
way in which they carry anything, no
matter what the weight may be.
For instance, child 5 or 6 years Of
age may sometimes be seen balancing a
cup of water, an empty bottle or an
orange on the head and walking along
apparently oblivious of the idea Of re-
sponsibility. 1t Is remarkable fact
that women and children are able to
carry with skill loads which are Of
great weight and do 1t in this way with
out the slightest inconvenience.
On market days continual process
sion may be seen on its way to the cen
ter of commerce at Kingston. Some Of
these natives walk fifteen or twenty
miles with perhaps ten to thirty pounds
of oranges, bananas or pineapples pois-
ed steadily on their heads.
Women may be seen striding along
with a light but huge pile Of baskets
towering safely upon their heads. These
baskets are made from reeds. Their
very lightness makes the feat Of bal
ancing them much more difficult While
probably weighing only two pounds at
the most the tower of baskets is almost
four feet in height.
Most of these women have beautiful
ly formed figures largely built up by
their method Of balancing the burdens
which they carry upon their heads. Oc-
casionally there is one who has lost
symmetry of outline as age approaches,
but whose carriage is erect and vigor-
Ous.

There Is hardly precious stone that
has not some superstition connected
with it. The Neapolltans will wear
amulets Of coral to avert the evil eye,
and perhaps some will remember wear
ing n string Of amber beads about their
necks during their childhood to ward
off sore throats. A piece Of agate worn
on the person is supposed to be an in
fallible guard against lightning and
some persons have asserted that 1t was
a cure for thirst-what kind they did
not mention
The beryl was by the ancents sup
posed to be sure cure for leprosy and
to promote happiness between man and
wife. Turquoise Is said to be protec-
tion against falls and sudden injuries.
The topaz was highly priced by the an
clients, who believed that it had magi-
cal powers of dispelling entertainments
and calming frenzy.
The sapphire was believed by the an
clients to be emblematlc of chastity.
The pagans dedicated 1t to Apollo. The
green emerald Is held In highest es-
teen by the Peruvians and the wor-
shippers Of Mantu still believe that the
mines whence are extracted all e;ner-
aids are guarded by terrible genii and
dragons
Perhaps more superstition attaches
itself to the opal nowadays than to any
other stone. On the contrary, the an
clients considered that this fiery gem
had the power of rendering its owner
lovable and also of bestowing on him
the gift Of lnvislbillty.

TIE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

The call for meeting to organize a Library Association for Prescott is a significant move in the literary pro- gress and culture of this community. It ought not to be difficult to ascertain whether a public library is wanted in the first place, and can be established in the second. If all the people who are at all interested will express them selves this will determine the question. Do we want it bad enough to be will ing to make a reasonable sacrifice to get it? 1t is more difficult of course to have such things in small city than it is in large one where funds are more easily obtained, but the idea that such things can only be maintained in a cosmopolitan community is fast grow ing in disfavor. One of the signif- cant characteristics of our time is the bringing of what may be termed city advantages to the country, and to small towns. By concert of action and harmony the small town can accom- plish many things that formerly seem- ed impossible.
 By all means let Prescott lose no op- portunity to secure public library. It would be a blessing to Prescott and Nevada County. It is not at all un- likely that outside help can be secured. MT. Carnegie is, of course, beseiged with bequests of this kind. He can not give to all, but if we approach him properly, why shouldn't we think that we may be among the lucky ones in this venture? Let there be no indiff- erence or discord in regard to the mat ter.
