A Last Resort.

A naughty citizen once strolled into the
Supreme Court at Washington when an
argument was being heard and took a
seat in the incloSure reserved for lawyers.
After he had been there few minutes,
an attendant came over and asked him !;
care you member Of the bar ?"
The naughty person wasn't, but he
took out his card with flourish and
handed il over.
The attendant received the card grave
ly, carried it to the clerk, who glanced at
il and gave some instructions.
A moment later the naughty citizen was
touched on the shoulder and asked to re-
tire.
"Why ?" he asked. al sent up my
card. It usually gives me seat in any
court in the land"
Certainly, but please retire, said the
attendant.
The naughty citizen did retire. When
he got out in the corridor he fumed and
fused a bit.
"Sir," admonished the aged negro at
tendant at the door, who had been there
for many years, think il over Don't

Public Drinking Cup Danger.

The question Of supplying individual
drinking cups in public places is receiv-
ing a good deal OF consideration from
medical men al present. In this connec-
ton the international Journal OF Surgery
says:
at is said that at one OF Our colleges,
in 1909, the graduating class OF eighty
young ladies al a final gathering all drank
from one loving cup; among them was
girl who had recently had diphtheria.
Reports are said TO show that after the
young ladies' had gone to their homes a
large number OF them were affected with
some sort OF throat trouble.
"As result Of drinking from the chain
ed cup in a large New York department
store last winter, several clerks were in
oculaied, and il Is said that the store has
now installed small automatic vendors OF
individual paper paraffine cups"
Realizing the danger in the use OF the
public drinking cup, the management OF
the Norfolk & Western Railway Company
has recently installed in each OF the
coaches employed In its service from
which individual drinking cups may be
secured by all passengers on the penny
in-the slot plan.

EdisOn's Predictions.

Thomas A. Edison predicts that within
the next twenty years the art OF molding
concrete will reach a marvellous degree
OF perfection in architecture. This will
not be achieved by great expenditure OF
money; it will be accomplished by labor
saving appliances which will so cheaper
the cost Of production that, twenty years
hence, the poor will have more beautiful
homes than the rich can now aspire to.
Mr.. Edison predicts that moving picture
machines will be so perfected that the
characters will move and speak, and other
stage accessories will make the illusion
perfect Such entertainments, ,Ihe says,
can be provided for five cents, and will
give the millions OF working people a
chance to be amused and improved. The
result will be hard blow to the saloon.
Locomotives will pass out Of existence,
and all railroads be operated by electricity.
This prophecy seems very evident OF full
filment. An artist searching for a model
of a steam locomotive found out the other
day that to see an od-fashioned engine
he would have to go TO Jersey City, as
electricity operates all roads running into
New York proper.
The water power of our brooks and riv-
ers will be utilized by electricity to an ex-
tent now undreamed Of.
A new fertilizer will spring into exis-
tence containing nitrogen in large quantl-
ties. Electricity will draw this from the
air, and will greatly increase the arability
of our land. This is done TO large ex-
tent to-day in Sweden.
Aerial navigation will be firmly estab-
IiShed, and will be on sound, practical
working basis in twenty years.
Our bodies will be fortified against the
ravages of disease by the use OF SerumS,
so that man will live much longer than
now and suffer far less pain. The present
fight against cancer and tuberculosis will
be carried TO a successful finish, and both
these dreadful scourges will be as rare
as smallpox.
Our coal supply will be much better
understood, and ninety per cent. OF its ef-
ficency will not be thrown away as il is
to-day.
A new force in nature will be discover
ed, by which things now dubbed "pScyh-
ic" will be we'll understood. Mental phe-
nomena will then seem no more wonder
full than physical phenomena do now. We
now have but five senses. II we knew
more we would have at least eight,

voice calling her name. She could tell
by the sound that he was driving furious
ly. A choking came into her throat,
thinking of what the state of his mind
must be.
The sound came nearer. Now she

of the panther.
The horses, restive and frightened,
came slowly down the hill and stopped.
Melissa knew that her husband stood
near her. Without turning, she put out
her hand.
Give me your revolver, Eb."
Instantly he passed the weapon to her.
His own hand was shaking as with the
ague, but hers was as steady as steel.
She brought the glittering thing up TO
where it sighted straight with her eyes.
A second she looked along the shining
barrel. Then there was sharp report,
and snarl of rage as the great cat fell
into the snow, struggled bit and then
lay quiet.
Melissa turned and faced her still
speechless husband with characteristic
smile. "You forgot to put the end-gate
in, Eb."

THE employers liability act passed
by the last legislature becomes effec-
tive on Wednesday, September LIST.
Ii is the first of it's kind on the Stat
ute books of New jersey. Under this
law, the employee of railroad who
meets death or an injury which re-
suits in death, while in the employ of
the road, will leave his family, or
other heirs, the same right CT COM
pensation and remedies against the
employer as if the employee had not
been an employee Of, nor in the SER
vice of the employer nor engaged in
his work. The aim of this law is TO
lessen the causes for accidents in fac
tories, or wherever men are employed,
by defining the responsibility of both
employer and employee, and thus re-
ducing contributory negligence. 1t
also provides for fairness In adjudi-
eating damages, so that wherever the
blame belongs, 1T will be placed, and
whoever is liable will be required to
stand for the damage. IL reminds en-
ployers that they must make their
plants safe for workmen, and reminds
workmen that they must not look for
remuneration where they themselves
are to blame for injuries. The act is a
protection to both, and through it's
operation there should be less acct
dents hereafter. 1t covers cases where
personal injury or death results to an
employee who is himself in the exer-
else of reasonable care at the time.
The act is long step forward, in that
class Of legislation.

AROUSED OVER
/ THE ATTACK

q
the church. We have replied to just
one attack of the kind, and the best
answer to Mr.. Bakers statement is
contained in the figures which show
that between 1900 and 1908 the num-
Der of associations in the United
States increased from 1879 to L.
939, or 40 per cent; the number of
members from 255,472 to 446,O32, or
"a per cent; the number of buildings
from 1853 to $50, or 78 per cent. At
the same time the value Of associa-
tion property increased III per cent.
and tn ecurrent expenses 1876 per cent.
THAT is the material side. Now for
some Of the specific religious features.
The number of laymen on religious
work committees has increased 2S6
per cent; the amount spent for local
religious work $50 per cent; the num-
Der of Bible classes 318 per cent:
the number Of boys and men enrolled
in them SCI per cent, and the total
attendance ATS per cent The atten-
dance at religious meetings of all
kinds has increased 1874 per cent, the
number of professed conversions 339
per cent, and the number becoming
members of churches as direct re-
suit of association effort 223 per cent.
That seems to cover pretty fairly the
structures on the associations relig-
ious character"
Another association man, speaking
unofficially of Mr.. Bakers remarks
about the presence and influence of
men not protesting Christianity in the
said. 1.-The association
does not exist merelp as an institution
for protesting Christians. One of it's
prime purposes, as everyone who
knows anything at all about its work
knows, is to bring Christian influences
into the lives of men who are pro-
fessedly not Christians. Why this
should be made a basis of criticism
is something which surpasses my
The association, while it has been
criticised before now, has never been
SO strenuously attacked by a figure as
prominent in church work as Mr. Ba-
ker's militant tendencies have made
him. AS result one of the liveliest
agitations in religious circles during
recent years may develop from the
remarks to which exception is taken,
in spite of the fact that the work of
the association has been enthusiastic
cally praised no tonly by ex-President
Roosevelt and manp other prominent
men in this country, but in many for
7ign countries as well. Among asso-
citation members, however the chief
cause of interest has to do with the
motives if Mr. Baker in making state
nents which they say are not borne
out by the history and records of the
worldwide organization.

Alfalfa For Psstura.

Alfalfa has not been used to any
great extent in the eastern states for
pasture. For cattle it is known as a
dangerous pasture, ON account of its
tendency to produce bloat, and cannot
be safely used unless the animals are
kept on it continually.
For sheep and swine it furnishes the
best of pasture. There is, however,
one drawback to the use of alfalfa for
grazing purposes, on. account Of its La
bility to be tramped out by the stock
pasturing on it. 1t may be that after
alfalfa comes to be more commonly
grown that it will be found valuable
for pasturing purposes, but as yet it is
grown principally for hay.-Farm and
