a little cross and a good deal hungry,
always telling discouraging tales of
jumping deer, giving them but feeting
glimpse of the white flag as they disap-
peared. And to make bad matter
worse, the doe was almost gone, and
they needed more meat badly.
ooh, for some rain," they grumbled.
ooh, for some rain" laughed the wo-
man, eff that would keep you better
natured." But the perfect evening in
question gave scant promise of anything
but continued pleasant weather for the
morrow.
Continuing slowly Oh up the lake, they
soon left the highland well behind, and
ahead extended miles on miles of low
country, immense swamps lying about
the inlet, dark and almost impenetrable
with tangles of wind-falls, where furious
gales had sent the trees down like card
houses, one upon another, interspersed
with quaking bog holes and snarls of
cedars and alders. A cold white mist
was hanging low over all, and the woman
shivered as she drew her wraps closer
about her.
A young fox barked back in the hard
wood, and flock Of waterfowls fused
and quacked out in the pond. AS they
neared the land a startled mink swan
rapidly in to the shore, leaving long
diverging pencilings of reflected light
stretching out behind him.
AS they listened, new and unusual
sound forced itself upon their startled
senses. First long sustained cultural
tone, ending with pronounced gruf. It
was almost musical, mellowed and sof
tened as it was by distance. Instantly
the men stopped ali motion with paddles
suspended in air, intently listening.
Again came the wild, mysterious cry,
sounding from out the darkness far
ahead in the swamp.

SENDS TEacHE RS TO PUPILS
Italy Reverses the Order of Things
So That Education May BE
Spread.


Italy's recent plan to educate her
mountain folk is already in operation
according to the Rome correspondent
of the New York Sun. As the shep-
herds of the Abrlzzi could not be
brought to school. teachers were sent
to them. The percentage Of illiterates
among the inhabitants of the Abruzzi
has always been very high. and sta
tietics show that despite the fact that
many schools have been opened In the
towns and villages within the last
five years. GO per cent of the popula-
ton is still illiterate
Some members Of the board Of edu-
cation feared that the general spread
of education among the peasantry
would tend to a decuae of religious
faith. Others put forth the theory
that the inhabitants OF the Abruzzi
had been ignorant and unlettered for
centuries, ard consequently had lost
the aptitude to learn.
Prof. Emidio Agostinoni discovered
the real cause. He noticed that the
government .chools in the towns and
villages were not well attended. not
because the boys were not willing to
go to them. but because they could
not. The majority Of the inhabitants
/ of the Abruzzi are shepherds, and
! spend nine months out of every year
In the mountains living In huts and
tending their fiocks.
i Prof. Agostinoni suggested to the
ministry of public instruction the plan
which has now been adopted as an ex.
pertinent.
Instead Of having schools with teach
ers and empty benches. why no. : End
the teachers UP to the mountains
where the boys are. and hold classes
there?
The plan pleased some influential
members of the board OF education,
and Is teachers were furnished
with horses and instructed to ride out
] every day and beat the country for pu.
pills. Wherever they found boys or
men willing to learn. they were to stop
and teach.
The ID travelling teachers have their
hands full, as. to their great surprise.
they found that The shepherds, young
and old. are not only willing to learn
to read and write, but that they are
very quick and intelligent.-Youth's

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.

chicago Record Herald: Fifty-seven Meth
odlst ministers in Iowa are preparing to va
cate their pulpits. There is no variety"
among their fifty-seven reasons. Each one
says the salary will not support his family.
Boston Globe Everybody knows that the
times are politically uncertain. but that the
spirit Of impulse has reached the church
Is matter Of surprise. This is shown in
the election of a bishop Of the Episcopal
church in Rhode Island, the choice falling
upon a man on the seventh ballot who
hadn't been candidate at all.
Springfield Republican: Bishop John w.
Hamilton of Iowa denies most empha ticaly
the recent report that fifty-seven Methodist
Episcopal clergymen attached to the upper
Iowa conference were about to leave the
ministry because their salaries were too
small for the decent support of their fam
lilies. our ministers never get more than
they deserve" he writes to the editor of
lions Herald in Boston, but that men in
this wealthy state of Iowa are quitting the
ministry because they do not find enough
to eat" is too absurd a tale for the bishop
to consider seriously.

In Semi Tropical Russia.

One commonly thinks of Russia as
a country of rigorous climate and only
the most rugged sort of agriculture.
The average conception does not in
clude the thought OF people who never
saw snow, of q section of country re-
sembling in topography, soil, climate
and products the great deciduous fruit
valleys of California. Yet, OF course,
this information might be obtained by
a little research.
But people are usually remiss in
nothing more than their knowledge Of
geography and comparative pursuits
in different lands. Such institutions
as bring together men of various new
and old world countries for an inter-
change OF knowledge and ideas are,
therefore, of inestimable value to all
people. Such an institution has been

Representatives from Australia, Rus

tries attended it and contributed to
the sum total OF information and wis
dom in which 1t abounded. e. e.
Skorniakofi, engineer in the ministry
of agriculture of Russia. was there
and, having completed a tour and
study of the United States covering a
period OF nearly two years, was able
to offer some valuable advice upon the
subject OF irrigation as practiced in
Russia and in this country.
In the course of his address he
brought out the fact that $4,000, 900
acres of land are today under irriga-
ton in Russia and that upon this land
is being produced cotton, rice, grapes
and fruits common to semi-tropical
climates. And this system OF irriga-
tion, which is much older in Russia
than in the United States, is being
steadily expanded. II is Offering
