CUSTOMS COURT SURE.
House Conferees Accept Senate Amend
Inent-Tribunal to Handle Customs
Cases Only.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 14.-In
the conference on the tariff bill today
the representatives of the House agreed
to accept the Senate customs court pro-
vision.
The cOnferees spent the greater part
of the forenoon session considering the
customs court provision and it is under
stood that the conclusion TO retain it
was unanimous. The amendment was
inserted by the Senate at the instance
of the administration, so that it may be
said now that both branches of the gov
eminent are fully in accord on the sub
ject and there is no doubt of its final
retention
The full title of the court is ''the
United States court of customs appeals"
and it is intended that it shall deal with
all cases of appeal from the decision of
the United States board of general ap-
praisers. In this respect the court takes
the place of the United States circuit
court Of appeals and i'll addition it is
provided that its judgments shall be final
in all such cases. The court is to be
composed of a presiding judge and four
associate judges, and is to be supplied
with Il clerk and a marshal.

deaths since March, the New York
Herald says. The deaths have all been
caused by intestinal trouble and veter-
lnarians attribute the prevalence of
this disease to the mixing Of a very
large percentage of barley with oats
that are shipped here from the West.
Barley Is both cheaper and heavier
than oats, which gives a larger profit
to those who mix large quantity and
sell 1t for the lighter grain. Ordi-
narily, there Is from to 10 Der cent

charge of horses in many of the

there was no question, from the post

excessive quantity of barley was re-
sponsible for many of the deaths.
Barley is a very hard grain for
horses to digest" said DR.. Forster,

THE PATTERN IN THE MOUNT.
By. Rev. Merle A. Breed.

Text: "See, saith He, that thou
make all things according to the pat.
tern that was showed thee In the
mount. Hebrews S:5.
Our text, which is a quotation from
Exodus 25:40, sets before us a picture
as interesting as it is suggestive the
hosts of Israel have been waiting long
before Mount Sinai. Their leader,
Moses, is hidden in the cloud-capped,
fire-riven summit in communion with
Jehovah. While the people were wait
ing in the plain, he has gone forth to
the mountains towering peak to be
with God, to hear His will for them
divine pattern of a tabernacle for
Gods worship and the uplifting of
mems hearts and lives to heavenly
things.
What shall we build our lives
howell, or palace, or temple? 1t is an
eXhilarating reflection that every act
or thought is building them into
something. What an infinite variety
of patternsl We cannot build after
them all-which shall we choose?
There must be unity in the design.
The eclectic method, pure and simple,
will hardly avail for this What one
age approved fails to win the appro-
baton of the next There must be
permanence and real worth in the
pattern, if it is to satisfy ourselves
or others as the years pass. AS we
read history and the great names of
past eras move before us, we often
feel how transient they were How
like a howell is Midas, the Phrygian
king of legend and story. How like
a Wondering trieme upon the shores
of time is Pompey the Great How
like a dust covered ruin in the Roman
forum is Caesar Now we may all be
tabernacle builders, like Moses, if we
will
The divine pattern has come near
men in Jesus Christ We have not
to seek it amid the perils, darkness
and difficulties of Sinai; it is here
with US, built in all its divine per-
lection en- the levels of our daily
needs supplying us with all desirable
inspirations, helps and satisfying fell
lowship, opening the very vail by
which we enter into the most holy
place itself 1t is not a mount dis
tant and removed, but presence near
at hand, familiar with our needs, to
which we may withdraw in moments
of discouragements or temptation, full
of divine comfort and solace for hours
of sorrow, full of divine strength and
vitality in our days of weakness when
all other help seems far away, full
of gracious warning when we are
| careless and hayward. We need ever
TO be withdrawing into this mount,
Jesus Christ, If we are to realize the
pattern in the plain of our earthly
living. Because it is so accessible, so
complete in its ministry. See. there
fore, that thou make all things &C
cording to the pattern that was shew-
ed thee in the mount

PUBLIC WARNED AS TO DRUGS.
Department of Agriculture Calls Atten-
tion to Three Held PerilouS.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., July IA
warning to the public is issued by the
department of agriculture concerning the
growing use of three perilOus drugs, phe-
nacetin, acetanilid and antipyrin. These
drugs are found poisonous in the true
sense of the word and are habit-forminG,
being scarcely less Objectionable than
opium. Under the pure food law a care
full investigation into the use of the
drugs has been made, testimony having
been solicited from practicing physi-
clans.
The investigation indicates that all
three drugs are now used less than for
merly by medical practitioners. OF the
physicians who gave information to the
department sc per cent. say that they
use acetanilid less frequently than for
merly; nearly sc per cent. make the same
statement regarding antipyrin, and 81
per cent. with regard to phenacetin.
The reason for the discontnuance Of
the use of the drug by the medical pro-
fession is the particularly depressing eff
feet on the heart. While the physicians
are notably decreasing the use of the
three drugs in their prescriptions it is
found that their sale is increasing the
public without realizing the dangers in
volved, yielding to the narcotic effect
which follows their use.

$500 CAT FOR CHICAGOAN.
Mrs. Lynas Sails from London with
Champion Feline

LONDON, July 14.-Mrs. Lynas of
Chicago has bought the champion male
chinchilla Persian cat, Rob Roy H.,
which sailed Tuesday for New York with
all luxuries Five hundred dollars was
the price paid for the cat by Mrs. Lynas
When Rob Roy II. arrives in Chicago it
will be the most aristocratic and costly
cat ever seen on the Lake Shore drive.
He has won innumerable prizes in Eu-
ropean cat shows and has a pedigree as
long as State street. Since Richard
Croker bought the bulldog, Rodney
Stone, at a fancy price, no animal ex-
cept a racing horse has left England that
cost as much as Mrs. Lynas' cat.

Jealous because the pet cat Of his
mistress was fed first, "Gyp," the pet
terrier Of Miss Anna Belberta, Phila-
delphia, savagely attacked her. So
long as "Gyp" was given preference
at meal time. the dog and cat were
firm friends. They played like kit
tens, and seemed to forget traditional
animosity. Miss Balberta frequently
spoke to her friends of the unusual
friendship between the pair, for while
."Gyp" would chase the cat of any
neighbor without hesitation, he never
harmed her cat. "Gyp' apparently
held the view that certain preroga-
tives were peculiarly his. When he
and the cat were called to dinner the
other day both came eagerly. But
when Miss Belberta stopped over to
feed the cat first, the dog, with one
short bark, leaped at her and grabbed
her by the throat. Her cries brought
help, and the dog was beaten off be-
fore she was dangerously hurt.

The discovery of coal beneath the
chalk cliffs of Dover has given rise
to the hope that it may be found in
workable quantities elsewhere in the
south of England.
According to the estimates Of Lewis
b. Stillwell, presented before the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers, the Niagara Falls hydro-elec-
trio plants during the year 1908 saw
ed more than a million tons of coal,
which otherwise would have had to
be burned in order to produce an
equivalent amount of mechanical ener-
gy. During the same year. says Mr..
Stillwel, the Interborough Transit
Company in New York, by its electric
system saved nearly a million tons of
coal from the amount that would have
been consumed by locomotives. Mr..
StillweIl has also calculated that when
the application of electric power in the
coal mines of the Northumberland and
Durham district of England is COM
pleted, there will be a saving of 1885,
900 tons of coal per year, for use else
where than at the mines.

Prof John G. McKendr1ck doubts
the correctness Of the general belief
that when human being is bereft OF
one sense his other senses compensat tie
him by becoming more acute. Expert
mental tests, he says, show that the
blind cannot tell the direction OF
Gounds better, or hear sounds farther
than those who can see. Their sense
of touch. too. is no more acute. In
fact, some tests have shown 1t is actu-
ally less acute. In general, the senses
Of the blind are, on the average, less
acute than those Of persons who can
see. Professor McKendrick thinks
that the ability of the blind to find
their way about, which seSms TO i'm
ply acuter senses, Is really due to In
voluntary concentration of attention
Enabling them to tell directions and
to perceive atr-currents and changes
Of temperature which escape the at
tentfon of other people
