OIL AS LOCOMOTIVE FUEL

Many years ago, with the discovery oi
oil in California, where coal was scarce
and very expensive, ths railroads there
adopted it for fuel in their loco
motives. There was an immediate
beneufit in the direction Of economical
operation. Moreover, travel was given
an added delight because of the absence
of cinder and smoke. Incidentally, there
was such 3 large decrease in the number
of grain and grass fires due to the absence
of the flaming cinders which started
many fires, that the Santa Fe railroad
found in the saving by fewer damage suits
from farmers and others, reason enough
in itself for converting ell locomotives on
its Pacific Coast lines into oil burners.
The example of she western roads
might we'll be followed by those In she
rest of the country where there is sufici.
ent supply Of oil 20 insure the steady and
economical supply of that fuel. Any one
who travels on road where coal is used,
as for instance on the routes between
Washington and New York, will wonder
why the use of oil fuel is not adopted.
The smoke and cinders from the locomo-
tiYes render travel on such roads in the
summer time, when windows must be
kept open to insure enough fresh air to
prevent sufocation, positive burden.
Probably some enterprising railroad will
meet this issue before long, and equip ils
with oil burners, thereby
winning both gratitude and che patronage
Of a long suffering public.

PROTECT THE BIRDS

Birds are, as rule. more helpful than
harmful to the farmer. This is the opin.
ion expressed in Department Of Agri-
culture bulletin on the result of investi-
cations as to the effect of California birds
upon the fruit industry sf that State.
The more the food habits OF birds are
studied, it is eaid the more evident be.
comes the fact that with normal distri-
button of species and fair supply Of ma.
tural food the damage to agricultural
products by birds is small compared with
the benefit. Few birds, says the report,
are always so destructive that their ex-
termination can be urged on sound eco
nomic principles.
After studing the food habits of the 20
species which live among the orchards
and vineyards on the Pacific Coast il was
found that but four species-the linnet,
the California jay, the stellar jay and the
redbreasted sapsucker-can be regarded
as of doubtful utility.

BE SOMETHING

There is q moral grandeur in the
thought--'T have made myself" The
world may Wag their heads, and you
may be denounced, but If you are con.
scious of that integrity of purpose which
has always characterized you, and that
you now stand on an eminence, placed
there by your own rectitude of heart,
You have nothing to fear. You had not
the influence of wealth, nor the "God
speed you" of powerful friends; but you
had more-a heart fixed and determined,
and this is what has made you what you
are. Go on-add virtue to virtue-look
steadily at the goal before you, and at
last your best teachers and artful COM
panions will acknowledge your super
iority and feel proud of being among the
number Of your friends, The man who
is resolved to be something in the world
should have nothing to fear, and when
he little dreams Of it, honors are gather
ing about his head and an influence goes
out from him, which is exerted silently
but surely for the good of Thousands.

An Ancient Privilege AssaiIed

Truly the privileges and immunities OF
the clergy are being scandalously curtail-
ed in these callous and irreverent times.
On July / Rev. R. F. Fisher, one of the
Neoga, ILL.,. Presbyterian Church, was
made defendant in libel suit because OF
some information he impaired to the Lord
in prayer concerning one Jacob Stroll,
a German farmer. The trouble arose at q
funeral which Stroll requested Rev. Mr..
Fisher to conduct. Strohl opened the
service with prayer wherein be fervent.
ly petitioned the Almighty for more grace
for the pastor. Apparently the man of
God was bit nettled by this gratuitous
Intervention in his behalf clergymen
rarely enjoy the taste of their own medi-
cine-and be at once came back with the
following orison: 80 Lord, make Brother
Stroll a better man cause; him to pay
bis debts and cease backbiting." '.Now,"
exclaimed Brother StrohI, you'd better
make.another prayer and straighten things
up with the Lord" This Rev. Mr.. Fisher
declined to do, and consequently he
stands in danger Of the Judgment.

Disposing of Mexican Dead

A custom that must seem very strange
to many Of Us says,a writer in the Septem.
Der Wide World Magazine, is the method
of disposing ofthe dead which obtains in
Mexico, Filipino, and other Roman Cath
olic Spanish cemeteries. The bodies are
not deposited in the ground, but in inches
in wall, the openings being then sealed
with stone slabs lettered with the names
of the deceased. These inches are let by
the Church ct yearly fee, and the body
reposes peacefully therein 80 long as the
rent is paid. When it ceases to be paid,
however, the remains are Ousted for non.
payment. The bodies which are ''evicted''
for non.payment of sepulchre rent are
turned into mummies by the mild, dry
climate Of that region. These mummifed
bodies are kept for year, and il at the
end OF that time the relatives of the de.
ceased have not paid another years rent
to reinstate the corpse, the remains are
thrown unceremoniousIy into great IN.
der-ground vault fifty feet deep and about
three hundred feet in length.

What Bows Can Do

Last year in the South there were
twelve thousand boys who farmed an
acre Of corn. These boys, all under the
age Of eighteen are bound together in an
organization Of Boys Corn Clubs having
its head in the Department. of Agriculture
in Washington. This work is being
carried out in ten Of the southern states
and its object is to see how much they
can increase its output. In South Caro-
lima one boy raised one hundred and
ifty-two busbels on a single acre, while
bis father only reaped fifteen bushels.
There is great chance for the farmers Of
the future who have sons with will and
q desire TO work.
