The editor of the Epworth
Herald expresses his views OF the
Postofice Department in the follow.
ing manner: IF the Post Office
Department paid half as much at
tention to reform in its own
management of the postal service
as it does to the genial business Of
making life burden to the pub
fishers of periodicals, that deficit"
would shortly disappear. The
postmaster general has admitted
that it is bookkeeping deficit.
without amy real existence. He
knows that a record of the free
service, by which everything from
turnip seed to Jersey cows is carried
for the other departments without
charge, would of itself explain the
deficit. He knows that the rail-
roads are scandalously overpaid for
carrying the mails. He knows
that an increase to four cents a
pound for periodicals would wipe
hundreds of them out of existence.
And the postmaster general knows
also that the periodicals create an
immense bulk. of profitable business,
SO that if the number Of papers
should decrease, the deficit would
increase until it became big enough
to be a political issue. And yet,
in spite of all these facts, and
others of like significance. the
third assistant postmaster general
persists in recommending that the
postage rate on periodicals should
be greatly increased. It would
take Charles Dickens at his best to
do justice to this wonderful de-
partment.

The people of Colorado have thrust
upon Simon Guggenhein the proud
distinction of being elected to the
United States senate by the direct
vote of The people. The question
of electing United States senators
by the direct vote of the people is
being agitated in every state and
Colorado now possesses sample
OF the fruit other states are craving.
There are cases on record where
men have bought seats in the
United States senate from their
state Legislature. but not SO with
Simon. He. through bis agents,
bought direct from the people, and

their vote for Mr.. Guggenheim.
IF Simon Guggenheim' s name had
been on the ballot for United States

Press bulletin No. l43, issued by the
United States Department Of Agri'
culture, Forest Service, says: "a re.
oent decision Of a Federal judge has
been widely commented upon through.
out the West on the superstition that
1t declared illegal the regulation OF
grazing on forest reserves and the sys-
tenn of charging for grazing permits.
As matter Of fact, the decision, which
was handed down by Judge Whitson,
of the United States District Court for
eastern Washington, In the case OF
United States vs. Matthews, has no
bearing whatever on the legality Of the
grazing regulations or Of grazing fees,
which stand precisely as before. The
legal question involved was simply this:
Does the law authorizing the secretary
of agriculture to issue regulations make
the breach of those regulations a crime?
Judge Whitson's decision merely
answered this question "No." 1t was
In substance that the objection to the
indictment against Walter Matthews
was the absence Of a law defining the
act therein charged as a criminal Of
tense. Upon that ground the court
held that the demurrer must be sus-
tanned and the defendant discharged.
Grazing trespassers will be restrained
from violation Of the regulations by In
junction proceedings and sued for civil
damages until the higher courts shall
have reached decision a. to the GRIM
inal character Of such trespasses. The
Forest Service will continue to exclude
unpermitted stock from all forest re-
serves and to collect grazing fees for
all stock under permit.

spurgeon and the Young Dutchman.

SpurSeOn anu inc Young DutCnmon.
A young mau came all the way from
Holland once to ask Mr.. Spurgeon the
oft-repeated question: "What shall
do to be saved?"
The great preacher was sitting In his
study, seeing inquirers, when the
young Dutchman came in and spoke
in broken English.
"Where did yoH come from?" asked
Mr.. Spurgean.
II came from Holland, sir, by boat. ="
"And you want to know what you
must do to be saved? Well, 1t is long
way to come to ask than question.
You know what the answer is: Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved
"But I cannot believe in Jesus
Christi
"Well, now" said Mr.. Spurgeon,
''look here. l have believed In him a
good many years, and I do trust him;
but II you know something or other
against him, should like to know 1t,
for l do not like to be deceived.

"But you don't know much about
me-"
mo, not much; only know you
are preacher of the Word, and l
believe you are honest, and I could
trust you"
"Do you mean to say" said Mr..
Spurgeon, that you would trust me,
aud then tell me that you cannot trust
Jesus Christ? You must have found
out something bad about him. Let me
know it,"
The visitor stood still and thought
for a moment, and then said,
II can see 1t now. Why, of course,
! can trust him; cannot help trust
ing him. He is such blessed One
that must trust him. "Good-by sir
he added. II will go back to Holland;

Some Of the truckers in the Arkansas
valley have been making good thing
out Of celery the past season and they
have determined to their own salts
faction that no other crop thrives bet
ter on their rich alluvial bottom lands.
Gardeners around Pueblo not only
supplied their local market but had
twelve or fifteen carloads to ship out
and the demand is for more. Some
Fremont county growers are paying
considerable attention to celery as q
special crop and will increase their
acreage as will also a number of truck
ers in Otero county. Something like
$4,000 celery plants are ordinarily
grown on an acre Of ground, although
this number is occasionally exceeded.
The platfts are put out about the mid
die Of June or ; little later, and the
soil is kept molst by frequent waterings
as described In Wilcox's Irrigation
Farming. Most Of the celery raised IN
Colorado Is Of the eelf-bleaching vari.

Now is the day of salvation, says
Paul: yes, because now is the judg-
ment day. There may be no visable
gathering Of the nations, no palpable
dividing Of the sheep from the goats;
yet daily, hourly, in all the myriad
lives that throng this world, that
solemn parable is coming true, and
men are passing, little by little, away
from God, further and further from
peace and blessedness, or are Coming
up higher" into that fuller, nobler life
to which all true living ever tends.

RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

A large number of cows are practic-
ally ruined every year by drying them
off month or six weeks before they are
due to calye, says the Denver Field
aud Farm. At this period nature is at
work making preparations for another
seasons work. There is timeAeight
or nine weeks before the COW is due
when the milk flow Is naturally percep-
tibly diminished. Most COWS can be
dried readily at this time, but II they
are milked beyond it nature Is thwarted
in her purpose. Numerous instances
are on record In which COWS have been
milked continuously for two years or
more, giving a good flow Of milk, but
this does not prove they would not
have really accomplished more In a
given number of years had they been
given two months rest each year.
Orange Pudding: Three oranges, one
pint Of milk, one tablespoonful of corn
starch, juice of half lemon, one cup
ful of sugar, two eggs, quarter of a
teaspoonful of salt. Peel the oranges;
remove all the tough white skin and
cut them into pieces the size of nut
meg, taking out the tough portions in
the center. Place the pieces in pud-
ding dish; squeeze the lemon juice
over them; add half a cupful Of sugar,
stir and set aside, while the rest of the
pudding is being prepared. Beat the
yolks, stir in two teaspnonfuls Of milk.
Add the same quantity of milk to the
cOrnstarch and beat the two mixtures
together. Heat the rest of the milk in
boiler and when boiling add the eggs
and cornstarch mixture and cook fol
five minutes. Add salt and the rest OF
the sugar. Remove from the fire and
lay the preparation, a spoonful at a
time, in the dish. Beat the wites OF
eggs stiff; add teaspoonful of sugar
and spread icing on top Of the pudding
and brown in the oven. This pudding
should not be made over night as
oranges would then give off too much
of their juice before serving.

A ,soman.s Complexion

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greSsiness
of the skin by the use. of cosmetics
or, HlocaP' treatment, as advocated
by the ''beauty doctors." The only
safe and sure way that woman cav
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat Of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A singls
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

There are some quaint terms COM
mon in Cornwall which have a pleas
ing SAVIOR of their own. The phrase
"my ar''-prolonged TO two syllables
lis not, for instance, any indication of
especial affection. 1t is a common
form of address to either man or wo-
man. So also, though with rather more
discrimination in it's use, is 'my deear
life.''
A young child is mentioned in terms
of endearment as 'my 'ansome" or
1'tender deear" or even tender worm. :
'Son'' and Sonny are used without
the least relation to the age or sex of
the person addressed. A son may some
times be heard speaking to his own
father as ''my son" or a husband call
ing his wife sonny"
"Young'' means simply unmarried. A
bachelor of eighty is "a young man. =
Of a bride still in her teens it was
said that she was ga pretty lot better
looking than when she was young
An old person is not simply old. He is

localisms are found in Cornish speech,
as "cricket'' for small stool, chores
for household jobs and 'dowdy" for
pudding, though in America the latter
word survives only as part of pan
dawdy," the delicious deep spiced ap-
pie pie of country housewives.
A Cornish anecdote relates that a
small boy left at home to supervise the
family dinner while the rest of the
household were at church, having, like

OUR BRAINS ARE DOUBLE.
But Only One of Them Is Used to
Think With.

SVItfs
Man has a pair of brains just as he
has a pair of eyes and a pair of ears,
declares DR.. William Hanna Thomson
in Everybody's. But, asserts Dr.
Thomson, only one Of our two brains
is used to think with. he continues:
"When we come into this world we
have a pair of quite thoughtless brains
and nothing more. To become intelli-
gent beings we must acquire whole
host of mental faculties and endow-
ments, not one of which does human
being bring with him at birth. No one
was ever born speaking English nor
any other language. No newly born
babe knows anything by sight nor by
any other sense. Every kind of knowl-
edge has to be gained by personal edu-
cation But only. recently have we
found that this education necessitates
the creation of a local anatomical
change in brain matter to make 1t the
special seat for that accomplishment
Thus no one can become a skilled vio-
lin player until by long fashioning he
has at last made violin playing place
| In his cerebrum.
"But all this brain fashioning takes
so much time and trouble that for
mere economy of labor, as one hemi-
| sphere will do all that is necessary,
the individual spends his efforts on
one of them only. AS both hemi-
spheres are equally good for this pur-
pose, which of the two he will educate
depends on which one he begins with.
This is settled for him when as a
child he begins all his training by the
hand that he then most easily uses;
hence it is that all the speech centers
and all the knowing and educated
places are to be found only in the left
hemisphere of the right handed and in
the right hemisphere Of the left hand

Copenhagen.

Great mystery surrounds the con-
struction of beautiful castle which
the kaiser is having built in Silesla.
Contrary to his usual habit of patron
izing German art and trade at every
occasion, the kaiser has had the plans
for the castle drawn by Danish
architect, and famous Scandinavian
artist has been engaged to design for it
several complete suites Of furniture in
old Norwegian style. These two facts
combined have given rise to the Opin-
ion that the kaiser intends the castle
as a present to his fourth son, Prince
Adelbert whose engagement to Prin-
cess Thyra of Denmark, younger sis
ter OF King Haakon of Norway, is ex-
pectel to be announced within Il
month or so.
A dispatch dated Sept. 16 from
Copenhagen says that NJ. Hanson, q
Swedish horse dealer, who sold sever
al horses to King Haakon of Norway,
was invited to take lunch with men,
bers of the royal family at Christi
ania. He had never been in court be-
fore and when the king requested
salt. Hanson thought King Haakon
was toasting him and arose, pulling the
table cloth and all the dishes ON the
floor. Hanson says the king and
queen felt unhappier on his behalf
than he did.
