His fatner, grandfather, great-grand-
father, great-great-grandfat great
Observation-Disclosures, and great
at-great-grandfathe have been
preachers, as he is preache r-he is
the seventh preacher in direct line
from the Reverend Thomas Williams,
who was cast into a Welsh prison for
preaching his own mind
But wait just mnute-this born
and bred-in-the-bone preacher isn't at
all the kind of man that genealogical
glimpse would indicate He is just the
opposite of the narrow, bigoted opin-
donated, aristocratic. snobbish man in
clerical clothes and choker that he
should be by every law of heredity
and the psychology of theological spe-
cialization.
This Rev. George c. Williams is a
man of broad view, wide scholarship,
observation and experience. who can
understand geologist as we'll as a
foreign missionary, who puts the
brotherhood of man far above infant
baptism in Importance, who has delved
deep into science and old manuscripts,
sat at the feet of Ruskin himself,
assisted the British government to
educate the savages of South Africa,
who belongs to the modern sociological
school of ministers, and yet is ortho-
dox enough 10 be praised and paid by
Scotch Presbyterians, who borrowed
him from the Baptist communion to
p.each to them one time, not so long
ago.
Just now he is preaching and work
ing toward modern mission in the
submerged neighbo.,hood of Keokuk;
last before coming here he labored
with church of captains of finance in
Chicago-and there is a right to sus-
pect that he found it harder to convert
tire financiers than to educate the
African savaGes.

est meal appears more elegant and
the food better il blossoms ornament
the center After a meal the pot may
be carried TO the living room or parlor
so it serves to improve two different
places.
A pot with six tulip bulbs ready TO
flower costs fifty cents now, and there
are smaller pans, containing three
bulbs. which are pretty for a small
table. These are proportionately less
in price. Hyacinths cost the same
amount In selecting plant woman
should choose one where the flowers
are at different stages of development
for instance. one bulb showing in the
foliage, the others at varying stages OF
growth. The object of such a choice
is that the most mature will die first
and can be cut off while the Others
are growing, and thus the life of the
pot is increased. Buds are as orna
mental as full-blown flowers. so there
need be no hesitation in selecting
them.
Growing primroses are decorative
yet inexpensive. When the flower:

At first sight there would appear TO
be little connection between battery
and the wagging of dogs tail. yet In
nearly all the northern language the
same word signifies both, and nattery
is certainly derived from the word sig
nifying to wag the tail. In the old
Norman fiagra signifies To latter and
also TO wag the tail. In Danish lcsre
is to wag the tail. and logger for cen 10

Pine Stronger Than Steel.

Calculation confirmed by experiment

pine wood is stronger than steel in
both transverse and tensile strength.
