Too Good For This World.

From Success Magazine.
 Albert was a solemn-eyed, spiritual looking child.
 Nurse" he said one day, leaving his blocks and laying his hand gently on her knee, nurse, is this Gods day?"
 "No, dear said his nurse, 'this is not Sunday. It Is Thursday"
 'Im so sorry" he said sadly, and went back to his blocks. .
 The next day and the next, in his se- rious manner, he asked the same ques- tion, and the nurse tearfully said to the cook, That child is too good for this world"
 On Sunday the question was repeated, and the nurse, with a sob in her voice, said: "Yes, Lambie. This is Gods day"
 '.Then where is the funny paper?" he demanded.

with the saloon, with politics, with ques- tions of better homes and better home life for the poor, but the way to strengthen religion is not by debasng it.
 Practical religion" sums up the re- form which pr. Aked would introduce In the churches. In his own experience he has been remarkably successful by its application in attracting support to the churches with which he has been con nected. His first charges after he left University college at Nottingham were two poverty-stricken churches in Ian cashire known as St. Helen's and Leices- tershire The success he achieved in these restricted fields led to his call to take charge of Pembroke Chapel in Liv- erpool. This had been at one time the leading non-conformist church in the city, presided over by Dr. Birrell, the father of Augustine Brrell, who is member of the British cabinet, but the district in which 1t was located had been overrun by business structures and the church had declined until 1t had been proposed to abandon 1t. On the Sunday before Dr. Aked took charge the congregation con sisted of 35 persons at the morning serv- ice and 16 in the evening.
 Within few weeks, however, the fame
 
 city Former attendants who had de- serted the old church returned, and new members were attracted to it. Some of the sermons preached by the hard-h hitting young minister aroused bitter controver- sy, but the church continued to grow and for Is years while Dr. Aked remained in charge It was overcrowded and people were turned away for lack of room at ev- cry service.
 It happened that the president of the board of trustees of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church of New York was in Liverpool over Sunday between two and three years ago. He asked the clerk of his hotel where he could hear good sermon.
 of you want a good sermon go to Pembroke Chapel and hear Mir. Aked," replied the clerk. Everybody goes there"
 The president of the board went to Pembroke Chapel and heard a good ser mon. A year later when the pulpit of his own church became vacant he sug- gested that Dr. Aked be invited to sup ply the church for a month. The Liver pool preacher came and after he had preached once In the church he received a unanimous call to take charge. Since then he has startled the hide-bound members of his congregation by some of his utterances, just as his present attack in Appleton's on the inefficiency of the churches has startled others all over the country. But his own church Is in no danger of closing its doors from lack of interest or attendance.

 The rumor was then spread that the dragon had reappeared, and this brought more pilgrims than ever They tried all sorts of devices whereby the dragon might be caught and made to work many miracles.
 Shinoki is suspected by the police of having invented the whole story as means of collecting money, but he has, with apparent sincerity declared that he will hand over all the contributions to charitable objects.

 EAU DE COLOGNE

St. Petersburg, August 1.-Some two months ago the Czar, being the chier liquor traffclSer in Russia, decreed that three drinks of vodka per capita per day were enough for his loyal subjects in the Siberian town of Turuchansk.
 The Turuchansl>ers, when they heard of the Little Fathers order, forthwith sent deputation to St. Petersburg to try to induce the Emperor to rescind the or der and allow the usual quantity of liquor to be sold in their town.
 Nichols refusing the commissioners bought up all the Eau de Cologne. bay rum, etc., they could get hold of and shipped 1t to Turuchansk. Before they could be stopped they likewise secured great quantities of opium. morphine and other intoxicating drugs to ship home.
 Dispatches from Turuchansk say that the town Is now indulging in a grand spree and that the degree of drunken ness achieved there breaks all records

WILLIAMS AGREES WITH PRESIDENT
THE CONTROL OF RIVERS BEING VESTED IN FEDERAL GOVERN MENT, POWER PRIVILEGES SHOULD BE PAID FOR.

Washington. March 2s.-Representative Richardson and Minority Leader Williams had lively discussion in the House to- day over that clause in the President s recent message in which the head of the nation declared that he would veto any power plant bills that might be passed in future unless a provision was incorporated giving the executive or Secretary of War the right to levy a reasonable charge for the privilege.
 It seems that the other day MT. Wll- Hams indorsed in a speech the position of President Roosevelt on the subject.
 Judge Richardson regretted that the democratic leader had taken such a posi- tion. The Alabama representative inr sisted that the states had certain well de- fined rights that could not be taken away, and cited numerous court decisions bearing on the subject to prove his contention. He also quoted from the report made by the late Senator Morgan on the great water shed of the Tennessee river and his position with reference to proposed power plants along the rivers of the south
 Judge Richardson stated that the nat ural waterfalls of a state should be con- trolled by the state because they were not improved by the general government. MT. Williams contended that as no dams could be constructed without the consent of Congress the government ought to have the right to levy a charge on power plants in the interest of the people.

CRUSADE AGAINST NOISE.
Theodore Lessing Joins Women of
 New York.

Vienna, March 2S.-Theodore Lessing, the noted author, has joined Mrs. Rice of New York in the war on noise and has just published a book entitled, "Laerm' (Noise), reiterating Mrs. Riee's criticisms and recommendations and adding num- Der of new points.
 Unlike Mrs. Rice, Leasing considers noise from the musical standpoint only that the music produced is horrible.
 The stamping of a horses hoof on the eobble stones sounds to pr. Leasing like the cruel dissonance of the notes D and F."
 When a young lady passes him, balanc- ing herself on high heels, Dr. Leasing grows very nervous for the noise pro- duced by the high heels sounds to him like high E.
 If, however. he meets a coal heaver, tramping along in No. 12 boots with hob nails and double soles, the noise produced sounds to Dr. Leasing Hike G in the bass
 In musical matters he calls the Kaiser a barbarian because he invited a male choir of 1200 voices to sing before him.

ECZEMA ONLY SKIN DEEP. Local Cure of Diseased Surface Nov Recognized as Proper Treatment.

In gathering data for an address be- fore the Pathological club, Dr. D. D. Dennis. the skin specialist of Chicago prepared table of results on micro scopieal blood examina tions of 46S suf- ferers from skin diseases.
 These tests were from the blood of per- sons who had called at his office within a period of two years. Less than 10 per cent of all these cases showed anything at all the matter with the blood, and in not single instance could the physi- clans present trace the slightest connec- tion between the skin affection and the blood humor.
 This personal experience furnished the Chicago physician with the basis for 6 brilliant exposition of his contention that F,czema. psoriasis, salt rheum, barbers' itch and other skin diseases are first and last diseases of the skin and have noth- ing at all to do with the blood. At the conclusion of his paper, pr. Dennis was coneratulated on his demonstration Dy tne prominent medical men present.
 For several years Dr. Dennis has all lowed a private company to nanuIacture and sell his celebrated compound of thy mol glycerine and oil of wtntergreen known as D. D. b. Prescription, and 1t was particularly gratifying to him that other first-class physicians, free from prejudice and jealousy, should recom- mend the D. D. D. Prescription to all skin sufferers.
 If is simply wonderful-the instant re- }Jief-the complete taking away of the itch the very moment this oil of wintergreen compound is applied to the skin. We know. we votch for it. For sale by all Nuggists.

WAGNER'S DESCENT.
1t Is Denied That He Came of Jewish
 Stock.

Berlin, March 8.-Dr. Won Stradovitz, the expert in genealogy, occasionally en- ployed by the Kaiser, denies the claim of the Jewish Chronicle that Richard Wagner had Jewish blood in his veins.
 Stradovitz investigated the Wagner fam fly trees, both on the fathers and the mothers side. The composers father was Carl Wagner, secretary of the Leip- sig city court, who died in 1913. The gene aIogist shows that 15 of Carl Wagner S ancestors were Christians. Richard Wag- ner's mother was Johanna Paetz and in- vestigation shows that for at least eight generations the Paetzes were also Chris tians.
 Both thr Wagners and the Paetzes were master artisans, bakers, tanners, carpen- ters and the like.
 One other fact of family history is in teresting. Wagner's mother was twice married, her second husband being Lud- wig Geyer. He was of Jewish extraction and Wagner stated repeatedly that his step father exercised the greatest inf1u- ence on his education and studies. So while there was possibly Jewish inf1u- ence, there was no Jewish blood.
