them cannot find a way to climb over
or under or go around If you only give
him time enough to work out his
schemes.
The Pharisees said, I'VE must obey
the Bible" Then in order to bolster up
the Bible they hedged it around with a
lot of traditional commands of the Tai
mud. Then as soon as they had made
the letter of the law binding they
evolved a lot of rules by which they
could circumvent or crawl around the
commandments of that law. For in
stance. by the old Talmudic law it was
mot right for a Hebrew to go farther
from his doorstep on the Sabbath day
{han one and three-quarter miles. The
Pharisee rigidly obeyed that law. But
how did he do it? He took a small
stone. which he placed at the front OF
his door. He called this his doorstep.
Then when he wanted to make long
Sabbath journey he picked up this
doorstep and put it into his pocket and
went his way, carrying his doorstep
with him, and Of course was never
away from it. Thus he was able to go
as far as he wished and still keep the
letter Of the Sabbatic law. He Obeyed
the letter of the law. He broke the
spirit of the Sabbatic law. He strain
ed at the gnat of truth, and he swal-
lowed the huge humpbacked camel Of
error.

crnws Enemies Of ouaiI.

The greatest enemies to quail are
crows. the shrewdest birds known.
Crows are ravenous egg eaters and de-
stroy the quail nests. These black
winged demons are multiplying more
rapidly than any other bird. All sports
men should make war upon these VI
cious egg eaters. They can be poisoned
with corn soaked in a solution Of
strychnine. They will, however soon
become suspicious of the grains Of
corn discolored by the strychnine, and
it will then be necessary to open a
small flap in the soft part of each grain
and drop enough strychnine in the
hole to kill a crow. Then close the
flap and press it down so as to make it
appear as nearly as possible like the
original grain. This corn should be
dropped in places where the crows
congregate and out of reach of other
birds.-FOrest and Stream.

Ralks at a Consultation.

The latest story about Senator Pettus
Of Alabama is of how he was overcome
with vertigo some time ago while
working on law case in his Alabama
office. He recovered in a few minutes,
and his clerk said he was going to send
for a doctor.
"All right" said the octogenarian,
"but don't get more than one.' When
the doctor arrived, the senator said:
''You are the only doctor here, are
you? You're sure there's only one of
you?" ooh. yes, senator" said the
physician. who thought the old gentle
man had some confidential communica-
ton to make
"I'm mighty glad of it." the senator
said. with a sigh of relief. "T'm sure
I'll get we'll if there is only one Of you
fellows here, but | could never survive

world, sins Of business life and sins OF
the home must be repented Of and re-
uounced. The Pharisees Eere so par
ticular about their beliefs that they
used to have the law written on very
small form and compressed it into
small box, called a phylactery, and tied
this box as a plaster upon their fore
heads and wore it as they went around
the street that everybody could see 1t.
So there are many church members
who make a great parade of their or
thodoxy and their Christian beliefs.
But they are not honest in business,
and they are not true to God in their
home relations. and they neglect their
duties to God and devote themselves
to pleasure. When you confront them
with the question, rs that rightT'
they answer: "Other church members
do it. Why should not ~ Are you
resolutely willing to toe the mark Of
Christian integrity. no matter what
other church members may do or say?

Quaint ENGLISH Easter Customs.

Many quaint Easter customs are still
extant in England. In London busi-
ness is usually suspended from Thurs
day preceding Easter Sunday until the
Monday following All work is at a
standstill, and the people are at play.
For several hundred years ancient and
needy widows. selected by the vicar Of
certain city parish, have picked new
sixpences from the gravestone of the
originator of this custom. At another
church bags of raisins, an orange and
a sixpence are given to fifty poor chill
dren. This practice has been going on
for an unknown term of years. At
Westminster school the boys scramble
for pancakes in the great hall.-Les-

The Decline of Mirth.

The explanation that laughter is dis
appearing on account of the sadness
of the modern view of life is discard
ed by Signor +. Franceschini, an Ital-
ian psychologist. He concludes that
mirth, like poetry, depends upon the
Imagination and that the development
Of the reasoning powers has tended to
Danish the distortion that makes things
seem funny The more the imagina-
ton is brought under the control Of
logic the less do we laugh. Education
is now scientific and practical, and to
more than smile is becoming a char
acteristic of a simpler and more nat
ural culture, where imagination still
holds sway and people have not for
gotten how to laugh.

L,6nhi Reserve

The Secretary of Agriculture

the Lemhi Forest Reserve during
the season of 1907 of all stock
which have grazed regularly on
the range within its limits in the
past, and in accordance with
these regulations, applications
will be received and permits is
sued.
1t will be the policy to take
care of the stock which have
been grazed regularly within the
reserve limits, so far as possible.
Regular use of the range means,
that the stock has been grazed
there for a period of years and
will not be considered as entitl-
ing persons TO permits who have
only had stock upon the range
one year, or who have driven it
there since the creation of the
reserve. However, actual bona
fide settlers owning a small num-
Der of stock will be taken care
of, even though the stock has
only been grazed upon the re-
serve during the past season
The division of the range be-
tween cattle and sheep and the
restriction of either kind of stock
to definite area, will be govern
ed by the past use of the range
and its adaptability for the kind
of stock to be grazed there
When practicable, the reserve
will be divided into grazing dis
tricts using natural boundaries
so far as possible. and the dis
trict to which stock is assigned
will be designated in the permits.
The summer grazing period for
sheep Will be from June 18th TO
October 18th, the grazing fee
viii be 81 cents per head. The
use of the customary lambing
grounds viii be allowed in con-
nection with the summer range
, during a period from April 1st
/ to October 18th at the rate of 8
{ cents per head and cents ad-
, ditional on all ewes which are
, lambed within the reserve. Ami
, mails under six months of age at
the time of entry will not be
: counted or charged for.
r The summer grazing period
: for cattle aad horses will be from
= April 1st to November 18th, the
t grazing fee viii be % cents per
D head for cattle and 80 cents per
: head for horses. No charge will
{ be made for animals under six
e months of age at the time of en-
t tering the reserve. Year long
n permits will be issued for the
t benefit of persons living within
4 or adjacent TO the reserve at the
5 rate of 35 cents per head for cat
tie and 40 cents per head fol-
8 horses. The half rate allowance
!, has been discontinued and vii
not be made for the coming
season.
All applications for grazing
permits should be in the office o

before the 9Th of April.
