A handful Of sawdust sprinkled with
carbolic acid and thrown in the nest
box will prevent yermin. The sawdust
so treated can be also scattered in the
stalls and on the floors of stables, and
flies and insects of all kinds will be
less troublesome. Crude petroleum will
be found excellent as a liniment for
sores, and will also assist in keeping
vermin away.

victed. Many large fortunes in the
West were built up by stealing public
lands. 1t Is a notorious fact that some
Of the railroads have been guilty OF
gross frauds along this line, aud that
there has been a direct conspiracy be-
tween them and the individual land
thieves.
1t is most deplorable fact that mil
lions Of acres OF valuable timber, coal,
and grazing lands belonging to the
public domain have been stolen; and
that only until recently has there been
found a man who unearthed these
thieves, and is now trying 10 bring
them to justice. Some Of the
public officers have connived at these
frauds; others have reaped dirty dol
lars by being party to them.
Heney, who is going to send Reuii

Study In Genesis.

Commencing with the new year and

II, 900, 600 Of scholars, and more than a
million OF teachers will be engaged in
the study OF Genesis, the first book OF
Gods word. While the number so en-
gagged is great, the wonder is that any
intelligent person who has reached
years OF discretion should refrain from
taking part in this study. What can
so enchain the attention Of the human
mind as an account Of the beginning
OF all things? And where can so salts.

NATIONAL OWNERSHIP OF FUEL
RESOURCES.

President Roosevelt advocates the
retention by the government of all the
fuel resources now on or in lands own
ed by the government. He thinks the
government should lease, not SELL
coal lands, and that these lands should
be treated as public utilities to be
used for the public benefit. He says
that it would have teen better If some
Of the Eastern coal lands hal been left
under Government control.
The President is simply ahead OF
his time, but not much ahead OF 1t.
This has long been advocated by 9TH
ers, notably by Henry George. Pub
lie ownership Of coal and forest lands
is as certain as the rising Of the sun.

A THRILLING SCENE.

The steamer Larchmont sank in
Block Island Sound, Off the coast OF
New England, on the bitterly cold
night Of February 10th. OF the 127
persons on board, only 10 survived.
Many Of those on board fought like
demons to get places in the small
boats. The following description Of
how certain members Of the Salvation
Army, who were on the Inflated steam
er, met death is thrilling:
One Of the thrilling scenes Of the dis
asteT was that enacted by the band Of
forty Salvation Army men and women
who went to their death with smiles
upon their faces and hymns Of praise
upon their tongues.
when the two boats cOllided men
fought with women for their lives.
Husbands for the moment forgot their
wives. The ruling spirit was self
preservation. When the madness was
at its height, there arose above the
song Of the wind and the song Of death
a hymn Of hope. Ii came from the
little band of SalvatiOnists.
Slowly and distinctly arose the song,
gaining in strength as the moments
fled;
Jesus, lover Of my soul,
Letme TO thy bosom fly,
While the angry waters roll,
While the tempest still is high
In the fitful half light Of the night
the struggling passengers, stopping,
saw the singers huddled together
kneeling upon the deck. Invoking
