CaIIinu the Moose.

We draw the canoe to the shelter
of some bushes, 60 ashore, and haul
it softly up Then the caller takes
the horn which is used to aid the
voice. 1t is about two feet long,
shaped much like the receiver of a
gramophone, and is fashioned of
birch bark bound with strmg or
sinew. He places the small end to
his lips, pointing the large open end
straight upward and swinging his
body in rhythm with his voice, gives
out a moaning below, as wild and
sad a sound as can well be mag
ined. That is the first call; the sec
ond is precisely similar, but the
third is more drawn out-lOnger,
wilder, more abandoned, and it
wakes the echoes in earnest. Then,
replacing the birch bark horn in the
canoe, he squats down. He will not
call again for half an hour, and it
is unlikely that he will get an an
swer under half that time. Nor is
this much to be wondered at when
one considers that a good caller can
throw his voice some four miles;
and the farther away the moose is
the more chance there is of his an
swering, for distance is all in the
callers favor, covering, as it does
any faultiness of imitation.-WOrld

it was not until the summer of 1901

Altogether, through the efforts of the
society, translations of the bible have
been made into about $50 languages
and dialects
At the present time the Bible Society
is printing the bible in three of the

York. For example, there is a fine
| printing establishment at Yokohama
! under the auspices of the Bible Soci-
ETY. which employs Japanese workmen
under contract. From this place dis
tribution is made to the Philippines
and to Korea. The society also prints
in Shanghai and Chentu and at Bang
kok in Siam, and at Beirut in Syria
similar work is done, some of it on
presses belonging to the Presbyterian
American Bible Society co-operates.
Many of the coIporteurs, particularly
those in the northwest, speak at least
| twenty different languages and contin-
| ualy requests are coming from them
and from outside people begging that
the bible may be translated into some
dialect or language spoken in far-off
| points, the very names of which are

gon and Washington are Spanish
speaking Mexicans, Portuguese, one
| half of all the Chinese in the United
| States, Japanese, Koreans, Hindoos,
Malays, Hawaiians and Filipinos.
Early in its history the society made
arrangements to supply bibles at half
cost to hotels, steamboats, and railroad
cars, and at the principal seaports,
with New York in the lead, a large
number are regularly sent among the
naval forces and among seamen gen

BAPTIST MINISTER QUITS
TO GO INTO BUSINESS.

Rev. Donald D. MacLaurin has re-
signed as pastor of the Second Baptist
Church in Chicago and leaves the pull
pit TO embark on a business career.
The withdrawal of Dr. MacLaurin
from the ministry is the result of his
espousal of the cause of Prof. George
Burman Foster of the University Of
Chicago before the Baptist ministers
conference of Chicago during the pro
ceedings that resulted in the expulsion
OF the university lecturer from that
body because Of Unitarian utterances
and writings.
Severe criticism of the action of the
conference and the ministers who were
responsible for it was voiced by DR..
MacLaurin, who declared that they
were guilty of betrayal of the fun
damental principles of the Baptist de-
nomination" The retiring pastor said
his defense of Prof. Foster was merely
in the name of justice and that he
would have defended any other mem
Der OF the conference in the same way.
There is an impression throughout
the country" said DR.. MacLaurin,
that because I defended Prof. Foster
I share his religious views. This
wish to deny emphatically,"

minister thirty-six years, including the
nine years he preached while work

BIRD CHAT.

Birds shun pestilent places and all
places infected with plaques.
The hens of America lay $50, 200, 900
eggs annually.
The swiftest animal is the ostrich,
which can do a mile minute.
A pigeon has been known to fly a
thousand miles in two days, six hours

Game cocks and ducks sometimes
take to catching mice, which they de-
YOUR greedily.
The voice of the naked-throated bell
bird can be heard at a distance of
three miles.
In the interior of Peru eggs are
used as currency. Who knows what
kind of eggs they are?
In proportion to its>owner's weight,
a birds wing is twenty times as strong
as a mans arm.
Every eight months ostriches are
plucked, and each plucking yields
about a pound of feathers.

The Roman Senate.

The Roman Senate had for many
centuries but 300 members, selected
from the Patricians, or Aristocrats.
The Office Of Senator was for life. The
body was practically supreme in mat
ters Of legislation and administration
The majority of votes decided a ques-
ton, and the order in which the vot-
ing took place was invariably de-
termined by rank, beginning with the
president and ending with the quas
tors. The Senators wore on their tu-
mics broad purple stripe-a badge of
distinction, like modern decoration
and they had the exclusive right to
precedence at theatres, the amphi-
theatre and all other public gather
ings.
