CUT DOWN TREES.

1t appears that some of the for
eigners immigrating TO the United
States, which is styled the land of the
free, take the meaning too literally
and seem to think everything Is free.
One who is of this way of thinking,
down near Lawrence Harbor, whose
name we were unable to learn, con-
cluded that the trees growing on Mr..
Lambs property were as free as the
air he was breating and proceeded to
cut them down for his own use with
the result that a warrant was issued
by the recorder and given to Con-
stable Maxfield for his apprehension,
but the last accounts were that Max
field had been unable to land him,
for, when the constable arrived, the
bird had flown.

The Domestic Hen a Wonder.

Scratching a living here and there,
killing thousands of bugs and worms,
which would cause much loss of crops
If allowed to live, the ordinary barn
yard hen is d wonderful combination
Of productive forces. In five years
time she will lay 700 eggs, each con-
tanning $50 grains of water, 125 Of
fat, 1OS of lime, 80 Of albumen, 26
of sugar and 10 of ash-the most
condensed and Strengthening form Of
food offered to man. Every person
having a little plot Of ground is able
to keep from half a dozen to many
dozen of these wonders and so add to
the family income. To do this to the
greatest advantage, one must know
how to care for his fowls-to guard
against, detect and cure disease;
which fowls to ave for breeding pur-
poses, etc. The simplest and most
satisfactory way Of securing this
knowledge is to buy it from some
person who has made a success Of
fowl raising al a business. Such a
book, giving the experience Of twen-
ty-fve years, is o~btainable for rs
cents in stamps from the Book Pub
fishing House, 1874 Leonard St., New
York City. 1t is an invaluable work.
The life of one chicken saved would
pay for the book several times over.

of a home abandoned; of toilsone
Journeys to this southern district IN
the hope of finding a p~ittance OF food
to allay that awful gnawing of hun
ger; of the eager hunt for a sheltered
nook in a doorway; Of being driven
from spot to spot until at last a few
feet of bare earth are secured out
among the graves with the other
refugees-a space no bigger than a
Chinese grave sufices for an entire
family; of the daily and nightly hud-
ding together in one mass for the
sake of human warmth; of the search
for dry grass with which to make a
tiny fire; of the morning struggle for
a portion of the government rice and
of that indescribable, terrible, primi-
tive. duel between life and starvation
which the Chinese so dauntlessly en-
dure.
I'm all this, I write of the best, and
not of the worst. This is only the
first outpost of the famine district"
Speaking of the causes of the fam
ine-already comparatively well
known in this country-Mr, Ellis
says:
Heavy summer rains, the over
flowing of the banks Of all streams
and of the Grand Canal, simply food
ed the country and made of promising
rice and grain fields only a desert
waste of water. The crops were ut
terly ruined. 1t is of interest that in
this section of China wheat and maize
as well as rice are grown; that is why
cornmeal and -four, the former even
the more acceptable of the two, is
the popular form of relief. The Chi
nese live closer to. actual starvation
than it is possible for a Westerner to
comprehend; they are always poor.
So the failure Of the crops-not to
mention the destruction of their
homes by food-at once placed them
in a state of actual restitution which
can only be relieved when the wheat
crop is harvested in July. Mean
while, owing to lack of seed, only half
of the spring wheat crop has been
planted"
There are stories of c%annibalism
too grewsome to write. Suffice it
that horror is piled upon horrors
head in Kianpeh until the call for
outside help is as imperative as it is
justified.
These sufferers, under ordinary
conditions, are frugal, clearly, hon
est, hardworking. They can wiring a
mere livelihood from their petty fields
in the best of times by the hardest
kind of work and in the mass are
noted for morality and decency of
life. Already the Christian Herald,
of New York, has sent $4,000 in
cash for the alienation Of suffering,
and has pledged itself to the State
Department in Washington to fur
nish at least 100000 more. 1t can
only do this with the cooperation Of
the American people. Hence the plea
for contributions, the transmission
and expenditure of which is guarded
most carefully-as was the case with
the funds provided from the same
source for the famished in Finland,
India. Russia, Japan and Cuba.

prominent lawyer in Arkansas to in.

section for such a one as he de-
scribed himself to be-. He said: Il

will protect you, and If you are an
honest lawyer, you will have no COM
petition. "-Harper's Weekly.

The Piety Of Usefulness.

Someone once said TO Cromwell:
"You, sire, know we'll the usefulness
of piety!" I know something bet
ter" Cromwell replied, "the piety
of usefulness" The phrase works
both ways. Piety Is useful, and USE
fulness is a function or activity Of
piety. II it is meant that simply to
be busy is to be religious, a subtle
terror turks in the remark Of Crom-
well. But if the meaning Is that
the piety demanded by the age is not
a self-engrossed Righteousness which
dwells apart in reflective unconcern,
but the practical kind Of faith that is
busy in the Kings business, an i'm
portant truth is thus brought to our
notice.

gress Of civilization, the better un-

to bring a time when all of us will be
