The Social CRATER.

In the recent issue of the Smart Set
Lillian Bell discusses the social grafters.
She very frankly says that modern So
ciety has produced the genius, who either
from motives of thrift or stern necessity
must get the bulk of their living out of
their friends.
AS the highest exemplification of real
social graft she describes the man who
makes 1t a habit to drop in to dinner, and
the following is an actual experience that
occurred recently in New York house:
We had been invited to dinner and the
table was neatly and daintly set for four
when ihe telephone rang.

PEGGY's ADVICE.

1t was the era of the first Quincy
baby, and the attention of the entire
Quincy family, consisting solely of
mother and father, was directed to
the proper upbringing of the infant.
Books on babyhood were bought and
digested. Suitable magazines were
subscribed for. Friends and mothers
were consulted on every point. But,
to the wonder of the solicitious, Mrs.
Quincy declared that the advice that
did the most good wasthat which APP
peared in the morning paper, signed
with the fetching name Peggy"
But the time came when even that
was disregarded.
Aren't you going to read me the
little lesson from the Journal for to-
day" asked Mr.. Quincy at the break
fast table.
81 shall never read that stuff to any
one any more" said the mother firm
ly.
why not? Only day before yes
terday you were saying what excel
lent recommendations Peggy made
about crying children. Why do you
desert her ?"
"I'll tell you, Tom, she said. II
had meant not to say word about
it, because it is so humiliating, but
now you've spoken-well, I might as
we'll confess. The paper yesterday
said something 1 didu't quite under
stand as was downtown, I thought
I'd just run into the office and ask
Peggy what she meant So I did.
The Office boy smiled when 1 asked
for Peggy, but he took me up lot of
dirty stairs and then pointed to a door.

USEFUL SONG BIRDS.

In his war against insects mans
most valuable ally is the bird. The
greater number of birds live on in
sects. Even those which live on seeds
when fully grown are fed on insects
while in the nest. As young birds
grow fast 1t takes many a worm to
satisfy their hearty appetites.
A feature of the warfare of bird on
bug is the system with which it is
carried on. Nothing is haphazard,
but each species of bird has its own
field of work and in many instances
certain insects to which it is partial.
In winter, when there seems to be no
activity on the part of the insects, one
might expect the birds to take rest,
but there is no cessation in the work
of those which live on insects found
on the bark of trees.
Watch flock of chickadees. They
a1ight in tree and examine each twig
for grubs or eggs, the little black eyes
rarely missing a mouthful of food.
Birds even swing head down from the
branches that the under side may not
escape inspection. Nuthatches and
brown creepers explore the trunk and
with their long, sharp bills dig many
an insect from its winter quarters.
The woodpeckers have work all their
own. The small downy woodpecker
is good representative of his family.
His bill is strong and sharp. His tail
feathers are stiffened to serve as a
brace while he clings upright against
the trunk. He cocks his head to one
side, and his quick ears hear borer
under the bark. A few blows with
the bill and hole is dug then long
tongue barbed at the tip is shot out,
and the borer Is speared and snatched
from its resting place.
As insects increase with the coming
of warm weather, birds return from
the south to fight them. One watches
the cheerful robin hopping over the
lawn. He listens an instant, then
pokes his bill deep into the ground.
Up comes his head, and he has cap
tured a worm. The flicker, though
a woodpecker, is an imitator of the
robin. He is fond of ants, and his
big bill makes good pick to dig them
from their hills. Meadow larks and
quails live entirely on insects found
close to the ground. Were these
birds strictly protected in the south
west instead of being hunted the boil
weevil might not have things quite SO
much his own way in the cotton fields.
The trees when in foliage are full
Of birds. Small warblers and viroes
take care of eggs and little worms,
while thrushes, orioles and catbirds
attend to those of larger size. The
rose breasted grosbeak earns the right
to favor by the way he eats potato
bugs. Some birds cannot eat hairy
caterpilIars, but they are choice del
icacy to the cuckoo, which slips quiet
ly through the trees as it hunts for
them.
Insects on the wing are not safe,
for swallows and swifts in rapid flight
skim back and forth over the meadows
and without pausing catch many a
small gnat. The birds called fly
catchers also take their prey on wing
but they remain quiet on perch and
only swoop down on insects which
come near at hand.

and one of these is the hardness given by small
addition of carbon. Other substances also-like
aluminium, tin and titanium-have similar eff
feet. According to a.patent of w. Won Bolton,
of Charlottenburg,ithe added substance may
vary in proportion up to one per cent. or more,
but with carbon a small fraction of one per cent.
imparts great hardness and resistance, and with
increase the metal becomes brittle. With trace
of carbon, the tantalum has the hardness and
tensile strength best adapted for fine wire while
little more carbon imparts the greater hard
ness-though with some brittleness-neededf for
tools for working wood, metal and stone. A
British patent by Siemens and Halske covers a
process of hardening by varying small additions
of oxygen, and the products range from work
able metal of much increased hardness and brit
tleness to metal too hard to work but having
very slight brittleness.

A marble-like material declared to be great
advance over other artificial stone is now made
from the waste Stag of blast-furnaces mixed
with little lime. The Stag is crushed and pow
dered, one-seventh part of quicklime is added,
and the mass made into paste with water, is
pressed into molds of metal. The blocks so
formed, on drying, have the consistency of
chalk. They are placed in iron cylinders, from
which the air is pumped out and then replaced
with carbonic acid, and after few days in this
gas the hydrate of lime becomes recarbonated,
binding the mass into a rock of great hardness.
The finished stone takes high polish. 1t has
been made to serve as an excellent imitation of
the best photographic stone. and with suitable
coloring matters it gives a variety of fine
marbles.
The idea of the mechanical powderless gun
was given by the bursting of fiywheel. In the
gun, the bullets of lead or steel are poured into
q hopper over large revolving wheel, and the
centrifugal force hurls the balls from the rim of
the wheel through the barrel of the gun with
tremendous velocity. The gun is made of brass,
resembling meat chopper in appearance. Itis
believed that wheel driven by a so horse power
electric motor can discharge something like So,
600 shots per minute, and great accuracy of fire
is claimed.

NOTABLE GATHERING
 OF BIBLE STUDENTS
The Notable Progress of the Sunday
 School of the First M. E. Church.

The large lecture room of the First Methodist church was completely taxed for space to accommodate those who came to the session of the school last Sunday, Sept. 20, and Mir. Lloyd Christy and the teachers were all happy to see that their efforts to i'm prove the school in every way were so well appreciated As many of the regular scholars were not back yet it was plain that the audience room of the church would have to be used more extensively. The pastor assures them that if the work justifies it he will lead in a movement to erect model Sunday school building on the church lot adjoining the present building on the north. The plans Of the church call for such an extra room. and every one was saying Sunday that the plans must be com pleted. Looking towards this the pastor has been requested to invite the annual conference and the bishop here next year to dedicate the pres ent building and if necessary the additional work.
 The school has put in new litera- ture in the ways of help papers. Last Sunday 25O copies of the Hal lowed Hymns, new and attractive book of songs, were placed in use. MT. John Taylor and MT. S. V. Re han were on hand to help Mir. T. Mcdonnell and his orchestra lead the singing and it goes without saying that the music was good.
 The school is being carefully graded and many new classes will be formed. Several classes are now taking spe- cial work, and in January the new, graded course of study will be in stalled, it is hoped.
 One of the new features introduced into the work of the school this year is the attendance system. Each class has a bracket, consisting of a device
Arizona republican., 1908-09-28

for holding a marble record of each member for the entire year. If scholar is absent the bracket holds a yellow marble against him for that Sunday and it remains there until the end of the year. He is a yellow kid"; if the scholar is late, he gets a red marble registered against him, and that shows that he is in danger; if he is on time, he gets a blue marble-he is true blue. The pastor said last Sunday when explaining the system: Sometimes a business man will come to me and want a boy for his business. He will say that he wants a dependable, punctual boy. I can then bring him out here into our Sunday school room and say: You can see for yourself; these are the true blues
 If a scholar is out of the city or detained by a case of real sickness, white marble or blank record will be made.
 The school has five classes for adults and will put on a new class for business men October II. This class will make a study of the life of Christ, using Burton's Outline as a guide This is considered one of the best guides in existence. Prof. A. K. Stabler, principal of the Phoenix high school, a man who has made a great success of such class work, will have charge.
 Mir. Christy, Mir Hirst and Prof. Claude Jones, the three superintend- ents, are now planning for a rally day for the school. Look out for the date
 Those who are not in any other Sunday school in this city now. are cordially invited to attend this one and to begin not later than the first Sunday in October, when the attend ance record will begin to be kept. The school session begins at 9:45 a. m. sharp. The church building is on the corner of Monroe street and Second avenue. two blocks west of the postoffice.

YOUNG MEN
CAPTURE
ENGLAND

London, April THREE young
men, one of them the son of an
American mother and another the
husband of an American girl, will
be in the running for the Office of
the future liberal prime minister of
Great Britain when'Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman formally quits office
and II. H. Asquith, now chancellor
of the exchequer, takes his place.
AS soon as Asquith becomes prime
minister he will change things
about in the governing board of the
empire and will throw open to
younger men the chief posts in the
cabinet. He, himself will resign the
chancelorship of the exchequer, but
as the premiership does not pay
salary, he will appoint himself first
lord of the treasury, which pays
S25 900 year. Sir Henry Fowler,
who as chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster, draws $4,000 year for
the nominal duty of looking after
the private property that Kink Ed
ward, as the Duke of Lancaster,
owns, and the Marquis Of Ripon,
Lord privy seal, will resign.
This will leave three places to be
filed and the men selected for pro-
motion are Lloyd George, president
Of the board OF trade, Lewis Har-
court. first commissioner Of works,
and Winston Churchill, under sec
retary for the colonies. These three
young men. together with John
BURNS, who will continue to retain
his post as president of the local
board, are the great
successes OF the liberal govern
ment. Harcourt married daughter
Of the later Walter II. Burns of New
York. and Churchill Is the son of
the former Lady Randolph Church
~. who was Miss Jennie Jerome OF
New York. Beorge will probable
become chancellor OF the exchequer,
colonial ocretary, and
president OF the board of
'rade.
