NOT a DEFORAnTY.

Big feet are a disgrace in many
parts of the world, China tand the
United States being first and fore
most among the nations whose women
pinch their feet to the point of de-
formity.
In Europe they are getting more
tolerant and not only are big feet ad-
mired, but a society has been formed
at Munich having their cultivation as
its object.
The society viii preach the gospel
that big feet in woman are not only
healthful but beautiful The founder
of the society is the Austrian Baron
ess Mohn. She declares that she
made this important discovery about
feet while touring in the Bavarian
highlands, and she was led to start
the reform movement as the result
of witnessing the efforts of many
women TO climb mountains in lace
dresses and French shoes with high
heels.
Following the example set by this
society many clubs have been
formed, the members Of which have
pledged themselves TO appear every
where, even at court functions and
dances in the biggest possible shoes,
with sturdy heels, and they further
undertake 10 bring up their children
on the same principles.

been made a man by law. BerHadotte
Anderson is his name and he is Of
Scandinavian origin.
IN spite of the limited number Of
summers and winters passed upon
earth by young Anderson he has sue
eeeded in making a name for him
self. He has been experimenting
with wireless biography since he was
fifteen years old and at the age Of
eighteen his abilities have been rec
ognized.
Gathering around him his youthful
friends young Anderson began work

PAID For THEIR "AD."

The Christian church at Sheridan,
Ind, has set an example and estab-
lished a precedent by using an entire
page in a local newspaper advertis-
ing the laying OF the corner stone Of
their new house Of worship.
Usually all such occurrences are
boosted free Of charge for the good of
the community. The brethren at
sheridan, Indiana. asked no favOrs
and put up the cash for their ad as a
business proposition.
The newspaper receiving pay for
the ad will never refer to the mem
bers Of the Christian church as
"CampbeIites" again.

CHICAGo's SHAME.

The latest story in connection with
the trial of Lee O'Neil Browne. the
Democratic legislative leader in Illi-
nois, is that veniremen are being "ap-
preached" and sounded even before
they have a chance TO appear in the
jury box.
As a result OF the disclosures made
a venire of seventy-five men has been
discharged and the celebrated brib-
cry case has come TO a full stop for
the time being.
This is the most ugly feature OF the
Illinois bribery scandal. The boldness
of the gang is a pretty sure indication
that the members thereof know they
cannot be convicted even if caught.
At this distance it is impossible TO
see where Chicago is, any better than
San Francisco when prominent poll
ticians are on trial.

nlANY RELIGIoUs sEOTs.

Nj
The bureau of statistics will short
~ issue a volume dealing with the
question Of religious freedom in the
United states and paying attention to
the great number of denominations
that flourish in this country.
There are more than two hundred
sects Of Christianity entwined in the
religious life Of this country. In ad-
dition there are many organizations
for the purpose of spreading Bud
dhism, Confucianism and other ORR
entail beliefs.
Under ordinary circumstances. TAX
ing into consideration the number of
men engaged in the work, We should
be warned Il. flee from the wrath TO
come with great regularity. Whether
we profit by the warning will be
known hereafter.
The most striking thing in connee-
ton with this report OF the bureau OF
statistics is the number OF temples
that have been erected by the organ
lied followers of Buddhism, Chinese
and japanese. Their churches, known
officially as temples" by the irrev-
erent are referred 10 as Joss"
houses. There are sixty-two Chinese
and twelve japanese temples in this
country, the former being distributed
over twelve. the latter over three
states. California shelters all but
To "a
half of the Chinese houses.
The heather beliefs, however. are
OF minor consideration. The new vol
ume viii tell of the sects which are
considered purely American and will
enumerate the branches as we'll as the
fifty-seven main organizations. the
difference between many OF them be-
ing only a shade at best For instance,
there are seventeen Baptist bodies,
twenty-four Lutheran, fifteen Metho-
dist. and twelve Presbyterian. The
same is true Of less known organiza-
tons There are fifteen Mennonite.
seven Adventist, four bunker or
Dunkard. and four Quaker or Friend
bodies.
There appears no division in either
the Roman Catholic or Protestant
Episcopal churches, although il is
shown that efforts 10 modify their
creeds have resulted in the establish
ment OF independent bodies. They
are designated as the Reformed
Catholic and the Reformed Episcopal
churches respectively. The Reformed
Catholics number only 1850 cOmmu-
nicants. while of the Reformed Epis-
copalian there are about 1858.
The cause of origin of some of the
branches is indicated by the name.
For instance. there are General Bap-
lists, Separate Baptists. United Bap-
fists. Free Baptists, Freewiu BaptisUs,
United American Freewin Baptists,
Primitive Baptists, General -Six-Prin-
ciple Bapusts, Seventh Day Baptists
Duck River Baptists. and Two-Seed-
in-the-Spirit Predestination Baptists.
The missionaries encounter great
difficulty in darkest Africa" ard
elsewhere owing 10 the great mum DER
of Protestant sects. The heather
cannot be made To understand that
there is even a chance of salvation
for the warning soldiers Of the cross.
With the opening of the orient to
civilization naturally the Christian
missionaries have sought 10 propa-
gate the Christian religion. On the
other hand the followers of BuGCha,
COnfucius and MahOmet have taken
advantage OF the opportunity 10
make proselytes. The two systems are (

Foster, former secretary of state, de-
livered an address yesterday before
the New England Arbitration and
Peace congress on the subject that
war is not inevitable, illustrating from
the history of the United States.
Foster raised the question whether it
was reasonable to expect peace among
nations of the earth and stated that
the prevailing answer to the question
would be in the negative
He combatted at length this mega
tive position as to arbitration and re-
viewed the relations of the United
States, England and Canada to show
how irritating questions may be set
tied peaceably. He also called atten-
fion to the naval disarmament agree
ment for the lakes which has been
in force nearly century to show how
an enlarged disarmament might be put
into practice.

THE preparations in progress for

there will be added the unique feature
of reminiscences-of scenes and events
surrounding the homes of the veteran
soldiers and their ancestors.
In the forenoon the school children.
led by their teachers, with citizens will
decorate the 256 veterans graves at

appropriate exercises. Mrs. Anna L.
