 Apparently Roosevelt's commission to inquire into the joys and sorrows of country life is travelling a rough road. Some of the SfarrhSfs and agricuIturai papers do not appear to appreciate that list of questions hung out for them to answer. They resent the Idea as a suggestion that they have to be locke ed after, like the blind, the lame and the lazy"
 To question 12, asking, 'qf the farm CTS and their wives get together with their neighbors for entertainment and social intercourse as much as they might do," one old farmer facetiously remarked:
 we get together too often; we are better apart; we lie about each other too much"
 Another query elicited the reply:
 Why don't you make Inquiries in your own home? What do you and your wife do? How about your own family? Don't you think you could do something better than stand around and ask questions that seem a trifie impertinent?"
 The final conclusion of the old farm CT was that there was not much that oould be added for the betterment of life on the farm, which, according to him. was an endless round of joy when strangers did not butt ln." He states that "ail we need is more than we have got. We are born healthy, live vorce seldom, obey the law (we don't need much law in the countryc vote as we've a mind to--most of the time are long on common sense, and don't ask impertinent questions of stranS- ers."

Jonas Michealius was the lsadfn~ spirit of the organization. From this little church has grown the Reformed Church in America. which is said to give more money tl church purposes per capita than any other church in the world. The Puritans of England became the Preshytsrians and Con9rs- gationalists of America. In the par- lance of that day. the Congregational ists were the "Pilgrims' and the Pres- oyterfans were the "Pufitans.
 The first presbytery organized on American soil was that of Philadelphia In l7o6. with Francis Makemie as moderator. The first Synod was that Of Philadelphia. with seventeen min tsters. organized in 17ie. The first synodical schism in the Presbyterian to the Westminster standards being the point at issue. The Phiiadelphia synod divided into the "Nsw Side synod of New York and the "Oid Side Synod of Philadelphia. Another point of difference was William Tennents Log College. the "old Sides" opposing its in- duence. The New Side upheld 1t, and brought about the foundation of Princeton University with the Log College as Its base. The schism of the sides was healed after seventeen years.
 For years the fire of controversy has ragged over the question of who found- cd the first religious paper In the Unit cd States. The two principal claim ants for first place in religious tourn- alism were Sydney E.. Morse and Na- than Willis. both of Boston, and the year was 1s12. Learned literary men investigated the question. and differ- ent conclusions were reached. At last, there happened to be discovered by a historian the tombstone marking the grave of John Wollwood Scott, in the old Pine Street Cemetory. in PhiIadel- phia. This gravestone bore the state. ment that Scott had founded the first religious newspaper in the world, the Religious Remembrancer. first publish ed in tst3. Search for copies of this paper was instituted. and they have been found. showing beyond doubt that Philadelphia, and not Boston, was the home of the first religious news. paper. and that the Presbyterian Church can lay claim to 1t, since Scott was a Presbyterian.

Small Horaes.

London OutloOk.
 English delight in horses for the qualities of speed and appearance has led to the production of an animal that Is probably too big for the perfect army horse, In which the prime quality should be endurance. If one compares either the hackneys shown last week or the thoroughbred stallions this week with the polo ponies shown at the end of the week, the smaller animal will have the vote.
 The polo pony Is by regulation Ga measure arrived at, as 1t were, acci- dentally) exactly the same height as blood horse of the world. Now, the Arab. in spite of the romancers, was not so much famous for speed as for endurance. The race horse today, which ls more than a hand taller than the Arab from which he is descended. is the fastest horse ever known, but his endurance is not great, and he is probably a less valuable sire than he would have been if breeders had kept to the smaller type. Marvellous in- stances have been given of the endu- rance of Arabs; one of the most aston ishlng we owe to Colonel Burnaby, whom no one would accuse of being 6 lightweight. A Boer pony proved cap able of carrying a heavyweight officer a good forty miles day at fair pace without suffering, and 1t is wholly a mistake to suppose that the weight carrier is a big horse.
 What we want then for the nation Is a horse of whlch--failing a few understanding is seeh at these shows. We want In the first place small and tough horses, of which the nearest equivalent is the polo pony. now bred in small numbers solely for the sake of the game.

As principle 1t lacks the qualities essential to its incorporation Into politics. but. nevertheless, 1t is an tined to beooms a stiii greater issue s e of economies.

 The railroads were the first to see lotely necessary in their employees for the safe handling of trains The com- plicated mechanism employed the nice touch, and the specialized discipline man intrnsted with responsibility should be at each moment In posses- sion of his faculties.

 Again let 1t be Insisted that here is no brief for prohibition, whatever it's merits, either political or on principle. But, save on rare occasions, there is no fallacy more obvious than the popular one that a man ts the stronger, defter more brilliant, for indulgence in al. cohol. That man is an exception whose brain is cleared by the fumes of liquor. 1t is 6 rare orator whose tongue is oiled and whose imagination Is enrich- ed by dalliance at the wine cup. It Is still more rare man of business or action whose nerves are steeled, thoughts polished, acumen sharpened by spirituous stimulation. None Of these are more than the exceptions which prove the rule.
 Man has enjoyed intoxicating li- qours since the first record, when Noah became drunken and fell asleep. Wine has been blessed by divine hands and cursed out of the mouths of prophets But wherever 1t has been sanctioned or approved. 1t will be found that its use has been for purposes of relaxation. Wherever accursed. the curse has fall- en because 1t robbed mans brain of noble sthoughts and stole his handa from their duty. Hence the lesson seems very plain that drink has no proper place in business or the serioue hours of life. whatever mans occv" patton may be.

Southern ConsuIS.

Birmingham Ledger.
 Alabama now has one man in the consular service, Dr. Deedmeyer, of this county. True, he has been assign ed to place way up above Maine, but still it is an opening.
 Alabama wants some consuls down on the South American coasts where they can open the way for trade. When the canal is opened there will be more intercourse, and If there were consu1s there from Mobile. Brunswick, Savan- nah, New Orleans sand the other Att lantic and Gulf ports it would mean trade for the South. When all the con suls are from the North. they are not interested in Southern ports and know nothing of the Southern trade and could not answer questions about 1t.
 Naturally the trade of the Gulf should be between the gulf ports and the West Indies and Caribbean trade should come to the South Atlantic ports at least in part. That Is why we feel an interest when the Presi- dent intimates that he Is willing to give Southerners places in the consular ser vice.
 That could be fiade of immense ben- eft to the South if the consuIs were business men who felt an interest and who could inform customers in South America of our trade conditions. We care little for the mere offices, but there is a trade beyond them that ia very valuable It is better anyway to have friends as consuls.

Blind Senator Enjoys Respect of Dem

 New York Evening Post.
 After session is over, Senator Gore may retire to his ofice to prepare a speech; if not. he goes home. Because of his physical affliction he is denied the pleasures of most men. and he usually stays at home. Then he turns over in his own mind everything that has occurred during the day. Ills memory brings back to him every word that has been uttered which appealed to him in accord with his own sentt- ments or contrary to them.
 It has been said that 1t Is after he has gone to bed that the Senator, in the quiet of the night, does his think ing for the day to come. It is then he frames his speeches best Only re- gently Mrs. Gore Is said to have found him muttering to himself at o'clock In the morning.
 Going after them again. Tom7" she inquired.
 "Yes." replied the blind Senator. quietly resuming his speech.
 This performance is part of the everyday life of the blind Senator. He is always studying and thinking and planning. There Is little else he has to do, and the concentration of his mind is his habit. It has won him his place in the Senate. given him com fldence to assert himself among his fel- low men without fear or favor, and made him one of the most feared de- baters of his time in Congress. He has eftectuaiiy downed the report which preceded him to Washington, to the effect thatN he was chosen Senator by Oklahoma because of his plea flor the little woman with brown eyes" (his wife.) He stands today in the Senate on his own merits, respected by Dem ocrats and Republicans alike for his ability to make the beso of them look twice before tackling a blind man.
