CHANGE IN CHURCH SERVICE

Hymn 4787"

Last Sunday evening and the Sun
day evening before that and the Sun
day evening before that went to
church." said the gray-headed man.
Il went to a different church each
time. l noticed that The years 1 have
stayed away from church have wrought
many changes In the service, but the
change that impressed me most was
the manner of announcing the hymns.
Formerly the minister said, Let US
sing or We will now sing Hymn 47S.'
Now he puts It in the form of an in
terrogation and says, Shall we sing
Hymn 47S?'
AT any rate, that is the way the
hymns were announced where went
to church those last three Sundays. l
wonder If the fashion is universal now,
also I wonder what the minister would
say if some temerarious soul should
speak up: No, we will not sing that
hymn. don't like it. Let US sing

that anybody ever could develop so
much rambunctiousness, but it is in
teresting to speculate on what would
happen if somebody should"

Oiled Streets.

Ofling streets has proved a success.
Wherever it has been tried it has re-
suited in a good conditioned, dustless
street, requiring less care to keep it
clean. 1t has also resulted in fewer
insects.
But even more than that, oiling
streets has proved better for the street
than any treatment so far applied
The greatest cause for the deteriora-
ton of street surface is water. Sprinl-
ling keeps the surface wet and soft so
wheels cut into it, and in earth or
stone roads the water keeps percolat-
ing through the materials loosening
them as it goes. This is true of either
rain or sprinkling water. But when
the oil is well applied it goes far to
prevent rain from penetrating to the
dirt, the water running of into the
channels made for it. This lengthens
the life of the roadway.
So far Milwaukee has confined its
oiling experiments to macadam Or
earth streets. But in other cities
similar treatment has been given the
asphalt pavementS, with the result
that the dust nuisance is done away
with and the asphalt is given longer
life. California cities have for some
time been oiling asphalt streets with
success, the oil not only laying dust,
but it is claimed, aiding in preserving
the paving. And in Wisconsin, the
little city of Menasha has found that
oiling the asphalt did away with the
dust and helped the pavement resist
the decay caused by water settling in
depreSSions in its surface.
If oiling asphalt in other cities has
resulted in abatement of the dust evil
why would it not be good thing fol

Has Taft Com United Suicide 2

In his speech to the Essex county
Republicans at Hamilton, Mass, Mr.
Taft referred contemptuously to "the
desire" of Democrats and Republi-
can insurgents at the special session
to "gratify what was supposed to be
a popular desire for the reduction of
duties"
On The pledge that they would re-
wise the Payne-Aldrich duties the
Democrats carried the House in the
1910 elections. Because of popular
dissatisfaction with what Mr.. Taft
had declared at Winona to be "the
best tariff bill the Republican party
has ever passed." a Republican ma
jority of 80 in the House was changed
to Democratic majority of 81.
The same year the Democrats also
elected governors in Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey and Ohio, all States that
had given a Taft majority in 1908.
Legislatures were also elected that
sent to the United States senate
Democrats to succeed Republicans in
Maine, New York, New Jersey, West
Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri
and Montana. In those sections repre-
sented by insurgent Republicans who
had fought the Payne-Aldrich tariff
the Democrats made fewest gains.
In California the regular Republicans
were beaten by the insurgent Repub-
licans.
In the House on Aug. IA thirty in
surgent Republicans and one indie
pendent voted with the solid Demo
cratic majority for the wool tariff
bill. The vote stood go to 80, or a
three-fourths majority. In the SEN
ate on Aug. Is eight insurgent Re
publicans voted with the solid Demo-
Gratis for the same bill. The vote
stood IS to % in favor of lower duties
on wool and Woolens.
The eight insurgent Republican
senators who voted for the wool tariff
bill and so incurred Nr. Taft'S hos
tility are Bristow, Brown, Clapp,
Crawford, Cummins, La Toilette,
Poindexter and Works. OF them
Brown of Nebraska alone represents a
state that gave its electoral vote to
Mr.. Bryan in 1908. The others repre-
sent Kansas, Minnesota, South Da-
kota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Washington
and California, states which gave Mr..
Taft 60 electoral votes in 1908. In
1912 these states will have 70 electoral
votes. Mr.. Taft has declared war on
these senators and other insurgent
Republicans who voted for tariff re-
vision. He has already attacked them
on the stump and is about to 'Swing
around the circle" on a speech-mak-
ing tour through the territory where
their views prevail.

electoral vote in 1905, and two years

DOGS Bring High Prices.

1t is not only in England and Amer

dogs, but In Germany fanciers will pay
high prices. At the recent exhibition
of dogs at Cassel FIenchman offered

of Tell, and the sum offered might be

A large and very old oak tree felled
on Indian creek by timber cutters
proved to be a landmark of Indians
long since dead and gone, says a
dispatch from Exeter, Me.
A picture of an Indian with bow
and arrow pointing at a running deer
was carved in the bark Of the tree
near the ground, while higher up were
pictures Of the rising sun, with an
Indian kneeling; a flying eagle, tur-
tie lying on its back and a picture of
a snake.
More than dozen arrows were en-
bedded in the tree, where they had
been shot many years ago.

ODD ENGLISH SNAKE STORY
When Cow Was Bitten by Reptile,
Form of Latter Appeared on
the Cream.

The west country of England is no.
toriously land Of strange beliefs and
superstitions. In the first week of the
present month a COW belonging to
Mrs. Heale of Goldburn, Ckehampton,
which was quite well at the mornings
milking, was found in the evening to
be suffering from an enormous swell
ing of the udder. 1t was concluded at
once that the animal had been bitten
by something, most probably by a
viper.
The COW was MIXED and the milk
was about to be flung away when the
servant girl interposed, and speaking
from previous experience said: Let
it stand, because If the COW has been
bitten by snake 1t will show up in
the milk" The milk was accordingly
set aside, and on looking at it some
three hours afterward the form Of
snake was distinctly seen in the
cream which had collected on the sur
face
There was an exact model Of the
reptile, the head, with the V mark,
the eyes and the tongue projecting
from the mouth-perfect throughout
to the tail. Moreover, by aid of a
magnifying glass the scales of the
skin could be distinctly seen. All this
was seen by Mrs. Heale, her two
grown-up daughters, the servant girl
and the boy groom.
On the following morning the figure
was less distinct. A moth had got
into the cream and destroyed the con-
tinuity Of the tail. Still the figure
was traceable, and the attention of
the veterinary surgeon was called to
it. He admitted that the form Of a
snake was undoubtedly there. His
treatment of the animal from the first
was for snake bite.

Butcher Bird and Martin,

An incident which my son witnessed
near Enfield may be worth recording:
He was walking along the highway
and noticed at some distance ahead
several birds on the road, which he
took to be sparrows. AS he drew
nearer he was able to distinguish
couple of house martins by the side Of
a small puddle near the others.
Presently one of the supposed spar
rows in a sidelong manner drew to-
ward the house martins, and when
near it suddenly darted and seized one
of them by the head and held it strug-
Cling until he got quite near. He then
saw it was a redbacked shrike, and to
his establishment it actually few away
with its victim over the hedge by the
roadside, showing strength one
would hardly have expected in SO
small bird.-From the Field.
