Mr.. Dunkley became very much at

bers and he regretted as much as

here and go to another field Before
leaving. Mr. Dunkley penned the fol-
lowing farewell poem to his congre-
cation:
A Parting Word After a Four Years
Passionate at Grace Methodist
Church, N. wport News,
Virginia
(By Rev. H. w. Dunkley)
Four years have come and gone since
in this place
We first did meet;
And now we've met to praise God
for his grace
So rich and sweet;
That grace which has sustained us
sai.. all the way, -4- Gis "a
And kept us meath Gods sheltering
love each day.
There was a time sought from you
to go
The second year i
Where might do my work with
better show.
And with good cheer.
But God. in wisdom overrufd the
plan,
And We resumed almost where vel
began.
Since then our hearts have knit to-
gether here,
Our hearts in one;
And we have come long, long way
from where
We first begun.
We've better understood each others
hearts.
And blessed is the work in all its
parts.
And now I'm griev'd to know the
time has come
When we must go;
For this blest place now feels like
home, i
And this we know,
That wheresoe'er we 90 and work |
down here.
Well ne'er find work more blest and |
friends more dear.
Four years we've work'd and watch'c
and pray'd,
AID journey'd on;
And though we've sometimes felt our
selves delay'd,
We're nearer home.
Yes, nearer home. the city fair and |
bright,
To some the glitt'ring spires are near
ing sight.
Already some have cross'd beyond
the stream,
In peace and rest.
They're waiting for us where the
portals CLEAN,
Happy and best
And when our work Is done down
here below, I
We'll join them where the parting
comes no more.
But chile we're on this SIDE the
stream OF death |,
Let's watch and pray.
And work and praise as God doth
give us breath.
From day to day.
Where duty calls and Christ doth
lead US on,
Wen follow till our journey here is
done.
We may not meet again down here
below.
Al0ne LIES way:
But re shall NEE; when al the work
= done
Some faircr day.
Or We may often meet this side the
blue,
But for a while, at least r1i say.

"BREATHING CAVES"
\ Texas Phenomenon Tint Ilasnt
Been Finally Explained.

The discovery OF oil in the SacTa-
mento Valley north OF I'll Paso, Tex,
may be the explanation OF the numer-
Gus breathing" wells and caves east
OF this city in FL Paso county. For "A
long time these wells and caves, the
caves IN particular. have been a puz-
1lc to the natives and visitors alike,
but the discovery OF oil to the north

the explanation by some that it must
be gas beneath the surface that causes
the breathing
The wells and caves at times emit
the air and at other times seem to
draw It in, hence the appellation

showed that the air eNuded would burn
when caught and confined in "a small
space Thus II was proved that gas
caused this part of the phenomena,
but why the wells and the caves I'm
the neighborhood should inhale the
ordinary air is not yet established,
for IL is generally believed that whore
there IL gas beneath the surface II al
ways seeks an outlet
A test Of one well was made by T.
A. Kindred and associates at Plateau,
this county. BY covering the well
Wnlle tne AIR was escaping anu oHlS
leaving a small aperture through
which the gas could escape they were
able to apply a match and produce a
flame that continued to burn for sew
eral minutes. Later they dropped

explosion; but when the gas stopped
bubbling and the well began to take
in the air from above, there was no
explanation of the incident
These wells were sunk i'm the
ordinary course of events for stock
watering and have been in use for
many months. They aroused consider

"Not as a rule" was the reply. "Our
cattle are raised chilly for work. and
the milk used by the natives comes
largely from buffaloes. Some OF our
finest cattle are from the north, and
especially from Rajputana. Mysore has
some fine breeds. but the COWS are poor
mixers. There are also good cattle in
Madras, and in Central India. one OF
the best milk breeds comes from the
Cir hills and others are from the Sind,
where they are owned By Moham-
medans. who drive them In herds from
one Jungle pasture to another. The
Punjab has good dairy COWS, but those
Of Bengal are poor.
I'VE are having trouble in improving
stock of this kind. The Hindoos look
upon the cows as sacred, and Keep
them when they are old, manned and
worthless and give no return FOR the
food they consume. This reduces the
grazing Tor the younger animals. We
have tried to improve the stock by
distributing fine bulls to the district
boards, but so far no valuable results
have been reached. We md that the
half breed cattle are more subject TO
diseases. and we now have veterinary
departments in each province. We
have also government breeding farms
stocked with cows and bulls of the
pure native breeds, Upon one OF these
a thousand cows of one breed are
maintained. In Mvsore the best breed
OF cattle has long been kept up by the
state
'Have you many fine horses?"
"Our horse breeding is chiefly for
the army. We have government farms,
and several hundred stations which
are distributed TO the districts where
horses are bred. We find that the
Arabs and thoroughbreds form the
most desirable sires. We have also
thousands Of registered mares.
Horse breeding Is encouraged by
prizes offered at fairs and by the pur-
chase Of good stock by the govern
ment We have altogether a million
or so OF horses and ponies in India.
We are also breeding mules for mill
tary purposes and have something
like 500 donkey stations, many or
which have been imported from Cy-
prus and italy. We get them, also from
Spain, Persia and America. We have
about $4,000 pony mares and large
number OF donkey mares as well.

efforts OF China TO abolish the use OF
