The Crooked House,

On the estate of Earl Dudley, at Himley Staffs, there is a curious habi- tation known as "the crooked house. It is altogether out of the perpendicu- lar and slants toward the south end which is heavily shored up with thick red brick buttresses. These peculiari- ties are the result of mining opera tions, the under stratum of the earth in these parts being completely honey combed. The clocks on the walls, al though absolutely perpendicular, as their pendulums testify, appear to be hanging sideways at pronounced an gle A short glass shelf, one end Of which appears to be foot higher than the other proves to be absolutely level, while in the taproom is table which is apparently slanting, but on which if round marbles are placed at the seem ingly lower end they roll to all appear ance' uphill to the top of the table and fall over with bump.-London Stand ard

THE GARDEN SCHOOL.
How Children of Newton Were Tauoht
 to Beautify Home Grounds.

Writing in Maxwell's Talislnan of the work of the garden school in New. ton, Mrs H. A. Elliott says:
 An object lesson to the citizens of Newton was the garden school COL ducted by the ladies of the Social Sci ence club of that town during tie s,lir- mer of 1906. Assured by George II Maxwell of the Home Crofters' guild of the Talisman of the free services of an experienced garden director. provided the club could defray the further ex- pense of garden, a committee of five ladies was appointed from the club to see what could be done.
 First they obtained the use Of q piece of vacant land on Jackson road, which was then an open grass blot. Then an appeal was made by the com mittee to the department of agriculture at Washington for free seeds, which were promptly sent. The committee sent circular letter to about fifteen of the contemplating business men of New ton telling them of the plans for the garden school and asking them if they were sufficiently interested in the ex- pertinent to give it some financial SUD- port.
 The response was quick, and at the end of week we had the required $1OO. and the director went to work. One hundred and six gardens 9 by 35 feet were planted by as many different children from the Nonantlm district. and the names of as many more inter. eatel children were placed Of the wait. ing list

School Gardens In Washington.

The school garden movement i'll Washington. which started humbly q few years ago, has so strongly appeal ed to the children and their parents that with comparatively little assist ance from the public funds it has thrived amazingly Already marked change is observable not only in the immediate surroundings of the school buildings themselves, but in all parts of the town at the homes of the little ones. They have been taught plant love in terms which have in many cases never been presented to them be- fore. By their personal participation in the work of making gardens. in prepar- ing the ground. selecting and planting the seeds. caring for the sprouts and the plants and finally plucking the blooms of their own cultivation they have gained a sense of responsibility which makes for the improvement of the whole town.

Speak We'll of Your Town.

Strangers seeking location are al
 ways greatly influenced in favor of any place where the citizens are en- thusiastic in it's praise. When away from home, do not neglect to give those with whom you come in contact to un- derstand that you live ill a live town. populated by enterprising, go ahead, progressive people, and one that is ad- vancing instead of retrograding. If you can truthfully speak in common dation of the ability of your profes- sional men, the square dealing methods of your merchants, the superiority of your schools, etc, Jet nothing prevent you from exercising that privilege.

Part of the Horse.

A rich rancher told a story about a little slum urchin whom he had sent on months vacation into the country. "The lad," he said, thought we got mush from the mushroom and milk from the milkweed. One morning a lady pointed to horse in field and said, Look at the horse, Johnny That's cow the boy contradicted. No said the lady, its a horse,
 'Tain't. It's cow,' said the boy. Horses has wagons to 'em.' '"-Kansas City Times.

Painless Cancer,

PROUD OF HIS TOWN.
What One Man Is Doing to Improve Jackson, Tenn.

Jackson, Tenn.
 One of the most progressive town officials in the south is Samuel Lam caster, city engineer of Jackson, Tenn. MT. Lancaster thinks there is no place like Jackson, and he wants others to think so, too, and he is doing every thing ill his power to make it one of the prettiest towns ill the country. IL is due ill d great measure to his el- forts that good roads are being built in Madison county. But road building is of Sam Lancaster, says writer in Breeders Gazette. As manager oi the waterworks he saw a chance to do things. Jackson had no park, and near the waterWorks there was needed q raised roadway. Sauf261acaster made the fill, and before Lpew what he was up to he had fine lake on Hae site whence came earth for the fill. Smaller lakes nj 1T by came. then drives, bridges, boats, lilies Qmal- yelous lilies). banks of flowers, trees.
 An unsightly railway yard adjcined the waterworks. The railway was ask ed for few cars of earth. Presto. San made the yard and the park json. Grass, flowers, shrubs, beauty, order. seats, comfort, inspiration, hope. all came out of that old sink hole. And the manager only grinned when hr saw that Sam Lancaster had actually parked and fenced a part of hi> right of way. Now travellers on that railway will pass by and say.

that the church1ess masses could not
be reached by ordinary methods. he
resigned his p~astorate and establish
ed the Christian Mission which after
ward developed into the Salvation
Army. In this he was ably assisted
by his wife, Catherine Booth, who
was Familiarity known as the mother
of the Salvation Army. She vas re-
garded by many as the most eloquent
and powerful m speaker of the
century, and did more than any other
to pen up the way for women to
preach the gospel. The absolute equal
ity of women as leaders, Office hold
ers and preachers became one of the
cardinal planks in the Salvation Army
platform. AS a temperance movement
the value of the work of the Army
cannOt be overestimated. 1t a been
said that the Salvation Army has
been the means of converting hund-
reds of thousands of confirmed drunk
ards. AS total abstinence is a condi-
ton of membership, this can be read
lily understood.
The Army is at present operating
in fifty-three different countries and
colonies, has over 10000 officers and
employees, Al 5000 local officers and
about 5000 musicians; has So period

About 1,500 e~x-convicts pass

years there has been not less than
200, 900 professed conversions. The

in this country is under the command
of Eva Booth, daughter of 4 Gener-

never greater, as the Army mas won

The Salvation Army.

The story of the Salvation Army is
the story of an aggressive religious
organization that las won its way
around the world entirely on its own
merits. and has built Itself up from
what a hitherto been regarded as
most unpromising material. The Army
organized on military principles with
a view to reaching the non-church-
going masses of the world. It was
first Started in July, 1865 in the east
end of London Is a Christian mission.
Thirteen years later at Christmas,
1878. it received the name OF the Sal
vation Army. Since then its growth
throughout the world has been phe-
nomenal. Gen. VIM Booth. who is
its well-known father and founder,
was born in Nottingham, England, on
April 10th. 1929. In 1852 he entered
the ministry of the Methodist church
and became a powerful evangelist at
tracing immense crowds and witness

any sheep within the territory of New
Mexico which nave not bee1 dipped
under supervision prior to October l.,
1907, will be placed in quarantine, I'M
der guard, and held at owners ~pen
until properly dipped, and officially re-
leased. This does not, however, auth
orize owners to delay until October

Disease Demands Attention.
To the Sheep owners of New Mexico:
The disease of scabies is still so
prevalent among the sheep of the ter
ritory of New Mexico that it serious
ly in~terferes with the interstate move
ment of the same and the department
of agriculture demands. and the board
is determined, that vigorous action
must be taken for the eradication of
the disease.
A plan of cooperation has been
determined on between the United
States bureau of animal industry and
the board by which all sheep in the
Territory are to be dipped under the
supervision of inspectors of the bu-
eau of animal industry, the board
placing in the field a sufficient force
to see that all sheep are dipped.
Inspectors in the Field.
h above order has therefore been
given at the request of the bureau of
animal industry and a force of gov
eminent inspectors are now in the
field prepared to supervise the dipping
of all sheep, and sheep owners are urg
ed to fully cooperate with inspectors
in this work, and to deliver their
sheep at watts for dipping early in the
eason in order that the dipping may
be finished before the shipping season
opens. By lodging out the lambs and
dipping them separate from h ewes
it is perfectly safe to begin the dip
ping when the majority of the lambs
of any n flock are n month old.
1t is believed that less loss in shrink
age will result by this method than
by waiting until the lambs are three
or four months old as the early dip
ping will give a much greater period
of time for the r~egaining of any Shrink
age before shipping.
Early Dipping Advised.
Inspectors will be provided to SUI
pervise dipping from now until Sep
TENDER Both, 1907, after which time
the presence of inspectors cannot al
ways be guaranteed when desired. 1t
is therefore important that owners ar
range to dip their sheep early while
government inspectors are in their
district, as later on inspectors of the
board will have to take charge of and
hold such sheep until a government
inspector a be obtained for supervis-
ing the dipping, in which case HI own
er of the sheep will be required to pay
for the extra expense incurred.
We cannot too strongly urge upon
s.l sheep growers to cooperate and
assist the bureau of animal industry
and the board in their efforts to Grad
icate the disease of scabies from h
sheep in this territory.
Respectfully,
SOLOMON LUNA,
HARRY F. LEE, President.
Secretary.
