REPTILES as Pets,

How strange are many of our preju.
dices. To illustrate this in common
affairs, what boy is there who shrinks
from picking up a frog? Moreover,
what young fisherman hesitates to dig
worms for bait, or handle them? Yet
these same youngsters will shrink
with loathing from a small snake.
The first impulse is to kill the reptile
as horrid thing. But the little brown
or green snake of our country roads
Is cleaner and nicer to handle than
frog or an angleworm. He is usual
ly harmless also, and if gently treated
will make an amusing plaything.
This prejudice is the result Of Gus
tom and education. In some nations
such reptiles are not dreaded. Lizards
and snakes are tolerated as we'll as
butterflies, and are even used as pets.
II you catch a butterfly and give him
taste of moistened sugar on your
hand you may release him. He will
not fly away, but will remain perched
on your finger and continue to feed
Toads may be tanned to take flies or
millers from your hand, and so may
the little gray lizards which abound
In some portions of the country.
Kindness will work wonders with
many of the inferior creatures which
we hate or despise. Yet the prejudice
against them is hard to root out. Often
1t exists unconsciously.

Saved bv DANCING.

The battleship Dominion was eau
tiously feeling her way towards Que
bee on the night of August 16, 1906,
when the navigating officer, misled by
a bush fire on land, took the wrong
bearings, and suddenly struck on a
hidden reef with such force that the
huge ship was shaken from stem to
stern.
Orders were at once given for the
whole crew, officers as well as men, to
assemble ON dock with their kits in
their hands, and all the eight hundred
and fifty men were told to dance, so
as to keep the ship alive" and so
prevent the Dominion's keel from set
Ting down on the ledge.
At first the bluejackets whistled an
accompaniment to keep the men in
step till the captain ordered the ships
band to play lively selections.
The men danced with a will, stamp.
ing their feet and swaying their bod
les, and doing all they could to rock
the ship. In the end they succeeded,
for finally, with the engines work.
ing full speed astern, the Dominion
slowly gave way and backed again in.
to deep water. The dancing had
saved the ship!

Wholesome Spring Cleaning.

Pittsburg is having spring
cleaning, also Albany, N. Y, anc
Jackson, Miss. The year 1910
promises to be a bad year fol-
grafters.
The New York Senator accused
of grating resigned and, possibly,
saved himself from expulsion. The
bribery SCANDAL, growing out OF
the Mississippi Senatorial election,
is being threshed out. The SUI
pervisor of Public Printing OF
Ohio has been convicted of falsfy-
ing a voucher. There seems to be
no chance that he will escape the
penitentiarv as the result of
tilching some $4,000 from the
State through devious manipula-
ton of bills and vouchers.
Spring cleanings like these are a
good thing for the body polite.
The CRATER is always in evidence.
No sooner is graft cleaned out in
one locality than it hobs up in a
fresh place. Eternal vigilance is
required to check the activities of
the CRATER.
In Pittsburg the entire City
Council has been found to be per-
meated with graft. Millions of
dollars were pocketed by grafters
when the State Capitol was built
at Harrisburg. Pennsylvania is
slow to wrath, but the people will
rise up some day for a political
spring cleaning that will strike
terror to the grafters.
1t is a hopeful indication when
there are so many signs Of a gen.
eral cleaning-up. Gov. Hughes
expressed it we'll when be said:
1T is not when the pestilence is
known that we have reason
to be alarmed, but rather when
ignorance or indifference permits
it to spread unchecked"

The POLICEMAN IN CHURCH
Sight Of Uniformed offieial Seems to
Get on the Nerves Of the
Worshipers.

feet he has on the congregation
There is psychological problem
worth investigating.
There was a policeman in our
church Sunday morning. AS conse
Quence every one had fit of nerves.
1t wasn't the policeman's fault. He
didn't do anything. not in an official
capacity, that is. He didn't come as
q policeman, but as worshiper who
wanted to say prayer the same as
anybody else. His attitude, mental
and physical, was wholly devout. He
sat in an inconspicuous pew in the
rear Of the church where he could be
seen by few, but IN less than FIVE
minutes the knowledge that he was
there was flashed from pew to. pew
and everybody began to fidget. They
wondered what he wanted. Somehow
II never occurred to anyone that he
was seeker after spiritual hight.
They imagined that he had come to
arrest somebody, and they were curl
Gus TO see who it could be. That con-
gregation, ] take It, was law-abiding
body OF people, from the pastor down
to the most mischievous choir boy,
yet everybody suspected everybody
else of wrong doing. The pastor got
nervous and mixed the pages of his
manuscript, the choir sang out Of
tune, an usher dropped the money
box.
Even after the service was over
and the policeman had gone away
without taking anybody prisoner. it
was funny to watch the crowd. They
separated into little groups, and each
little group eyed some other little
group suspiciously and whispered mys.
teriously. That, find, is the usual
attitude Of church audience toward
policeman. At a fire, at theater,
at department store, at a prize fight
policeman is considered legitimate
part of the show and no one gets ex-
cited over him, but just let him go to
church in uniform and there is dan
ger Of having to call out the reserves"

ITO FIND THE BOOK"
CANADIAN INDIANS WOULD HEAR
THE WORD.
Struck the Long Trail to Go to the
Missionaries, Until Teachers
and Preachers Were Sent
from England.

About twenty miles north of Lake
Winnipeg is place called Norway
House. This was shipping center
In the fur trade in the great days of
the Hudson's Bay Company.
Dog and canoe trains of Indians,
some of them from points 5000 miles
inland, came bringing their loads Of
priceless furs. and from this point the
supplies brought from England TO
York Factory on Hudson bay were
distributed to ell the interior posts of
the company.
For 200 years this great trading
company had it's agents scattered over
the remote wilderness to gather furs
for the markets Of London. About
eighty years ago, says Everyland, the
agents Of the company began to be
troubled; fewer furs were brought in,
the Indians seemed to be disappear
ing.
What's the trouble, Lone Wolff"
said the agent one morning to a tall
hunter who had thrown his bundle of
relts down sullenly Where is Man
Not-Afraid, and Three Feathers, and
Kicking Horse, and all the men who
used to come from the west many
moons?"
Ugh" grunted Lone Wolf, "far, far
south they with the papooses and
the women strike the long trail"
Why" persisted the agent. do
the buffalo fail them? Are the foxes
and offers gone? Why?"
Lone Wolf stood silent. At last,
raising his eyes. he said: "They go
to find the book?"
ITO find the book? Your words
are dark to mel"
Ugh" said Lone Wolf: white man
have Book about Great Spirit. White
man learn strong medicine. Book tells
good words. Far toward the south
wind Indians walk the Jesus Road.
We go find ii too
The agent listened, incredulous, but
when the same tale was repeated,
when whole village embarked in
their birch canoes and travelled 900
miles TO find a missionary; when
hunting grounds were deserted and
the very life of the trade threatened,
the agents pressed upon the home Of
fee the necessity of bringing mis-
sionaries to the Indians If they would
keep the Indians from going to the
missionaries.
And that is how it came about that
the Hudson's Bay Company wrote
polite letter to the Wesleyan Mis-
sionary society in London asking it
to send out to Norway House the best
preachers and teachers 1t could find.
The company promised to furnish the
missionaries with houses and pro-
visions, canoes and guides, free of
charge, if the society would help them
check the Indian migration to the
southeast

ChurCh-GOing Campaign.

On Sunday the Louisville MIN
isterial Association inaagurated
"Church-goin Campaign" Il
embraces six Sundays, closing or
May 10. The object is an awak
ening of all the citizens to realize
that true religion is the basis OF
our domestic, civil and national
welfare and that the church is the
natural home of the religious life.
The movement is not sectarian.
What the ministers ask is that
every citizen find church home
if he has none. If he has one then
let him attend it. He will testify
by his presence his appreciation
of great moral, patriotic, philan-
thropic and spiritual force for
purifying and preserving the
ideals of our city life.
Among all the Institutions that
promote Christian civilization IN
our country the church is inferior
to none, but the unifier, conserver
and director of ell. The home,
the school, the State cannot abide
if the church be allowed to weak
en- and lose it's guidance of the
conscience and regulation of the
individual life. Public opinion is
largely determined by the stand
ards of the church touching civic
righteousness and those lines of
conduct which conduce to the
moral veal of the municipality.
BY every consideration of munich
pal patriotism, to put the matter
