BIRDS TEMPT LANGUID CATS
Can't Eat Them, but Appetite Is
Aroused.


DR.. Frank Campbell, in charge of
the cats and dogs at the Bde-a- Wee
home, New York city. has new
method to prevent cats from dying Of
heat in these dog days. At the Bide-
a-Wee country home at Harrington. N.
j., there are nearly 300 cats. About
$50 still remain in the city home. The
cats are accustomed to more eX-
citing life than the home affords. and
In the hot weather apparently they
find it difficult to take enough interest
in life to keep the heart beating nor
mally.
DR.. Campbell made his first expert
ment in the country He surrounded
an apple tree entirely with a wire
screen. Then he loosed number of
birds inside this inclosure The birds
few about and made themselves at
home in the tree. Then the doctor let
the cats out to look at the birds. Once
they were under the tree the cats
couldn't be coaXed away. and now all
800 may be observed sitting under the
tree. trying to devise some means of
getting at the birds.
The experiment was entirely success
full, and the doctor has decided to put
1t In practice at the city home.

CURE FOR SHIFTING SANDS.
Cape Cod Folk Plant Beach Grass
Plantations.

To hold back the advance of shifting
sands, which overwhelm wide areas Of
farm lands and occasionally villages
nowadays to the expedient Of planting
beach grasses. Vast plantations Of
them are set out on Cape Cod. These
grasses have roots that penetrate
many yards through the sand and. in
terlacing. form a dense mat at the sur
face. thus keeping the sand in place.
Otherwise it would be blown about by
the winds. causing it to do an immense
amount of damage.

FIGHT ON REGISTRATION
is EXPECTED IN SENATE

spirited fight on the bill by Messrs
Calhoun and Slater, OF the Fifteenth and
First districts, respectively, will in all
probability enliven the Thursday ses-
sion of the senate.
The bill will come up as unfinished
business. 1t proposes to amend the
registration law approved on August 49,
1908, by requiring voters to register 80
days in advance Of elections, instead of
six months. as the law now provides.
1t does not propose, however, to allow
voters to wait that long before paying
taxes.
The bill was read the first time on
July %, of last session, and was re-
ferred to the committee on general judi
ciary. 1t was read the second time on
July 81, and was recommitted. The
committee returned an adverse report
upon It,
An effort by the trainers of the bill
to place it on it's third reading is one
of the first ---hgs expected to transpire
at the tuesday morning session. The
bill is directly in line with the policy
of -..e governors message relating to
changes in the registration laws.
In addition to this bill, efforts will be
made to have several others placed on
their passage. The senate will get right
down to business, states President Sla-
ton. and Thursdays session will doubt
less be extended to the full time.

we saw last week the circumstances
under which Jesus delivered this first
group of parallels, and we learned the
great lesson that a very small percentage
of the seed sown became fruitful because
of the evil influence of Satan on the
hearts of the hearers. We learned also
the solemn truth that we must take
heed how we hear lest the soil of our
hearts would not make the most produc-
tive yield. Jesus Immediately gave an
other parable which was a complement
to the parable of the sower; namely, the
parable of the tares.
He likens the kigdom of heaven to the
sower who goes out to SOW, who sows
good seed, and when he had gone away
his enemy came and sowed tares. After
little when the seed had terminated,
and had grown large enough to be dis
tinguished, his servants came in to tell
him that they found tares as we'll as
wheat in the field. He instructed them
not to pull up the tares lest they also
destroy the wheat, but to let both grow
together until the harvest, at which time
they would be separated, and the tares
burned, while the wheat would be gar
nered and gathered into the barn, to be
used in the future.
Is 1t not true that the good seed in this
parable are the productive ones of the
last parable? They are the ones where
the seed not only terminated. but
brought forth fruit. This sets forth an
other truth, that in the kingdom we
must expect the presence of evil grow
ing coincident with the good until the
king comes. .-
In the Interpretation which Jesus gives
of it want you to note that the sower
in this case is the Son OF Man. He in His
long public ministry, and now through
IiC &c ~
kingdom, and they terminate and grow
up. The seed here is not only the word
Of God which had been implanted, but
the word of God which had been receiv-
ed and was bearing fruit, manifesting it.
self in those who had received 1.-THE
sons of the kingdom. Note also that the
tares were the development Of the evil
seed which our common enemy had
sown, and which was bearing fruit in the
lives of those who had given themselves
over to Him. Jesus does not mince
words in His Interpretation as to who
the evil one was. 1t was the devil.
Some people today do not believe in a
personal devil but Jesus did. He had
come into contact with him; He knew
something of his methods; He appreci-
e.ted something Of his power, and recog-
nized how far reaching 1t was, and how
subtle he was in all of his ways. He
also appreciated how persistent and how
unalterably opposed he was to that
which was right.
He also gave US His Interpretation OF
the harvest as being the end of the age,
and the reapers as the angels, and He
tells us the ultimate result that shall
come, the wheat bein- gathered into the
garner, and the tares burned up at the
end Of the age, leaving the RICH teous to
shine forth as the sun in the kingdom
Of their Father.
In the light of the teaching Of these
parallels, and the same is emphasized
in the other two, is IL possible for us
to expect the conversion Of the world
In this age? We hear of all manner of
moral reforms. which are all right and
proper; but are we to expect that we

DECREE TO DESTROY
CARLOAD OF CATSUP

Assistant United States District At
torney Henley Wednesday morning
asked Judge Newman in the United States
court for a decree to destroy carload
of catsup which is alleged to contain
filthy and decomposed vegetable sub
stance" This decree will probably be
granted Thursday morning.
There are 50 barrels and 30 kegs OF the
catsup. 1t was shipped by the Blue
grass Canning company, OF Owensboro,
KY, to H. L. Singer. of Atlanta; and was
seized February "a. The catsup sold for
II cents a gallon and would have brought
about $780, 1t is charged that 1t was
made from decayed bits of tomato and
parts that could not be used in cannins
and that benzoate of soda was mixed In
with it to tone up the concoction. H. L.
Singer is not responsible in any way for
the catsups alleged condition and is IN
every way held blameless for the legal
procedure.
