Changing Taste In Hxmn,,s,T ,,,TIIl

dSeC III IIXWnS.
 One of our churches in New York city having taken a poll of the con. gregation in order to determine the ten favorite hymns announces that the following received the requisite number of ballots: Nearer. My God, to Thee." Abide With Me-" Jesus, Lover of My Soul" q Love to TeIl the Story" Lead Kindly Light" Res. cue the Perishing," Rock of Ages. !" Onward Christian Soldiers,v What Friend We Have in Jesus" Four others were tied for tenth place. :. Love Divine. All Love Excelling, 1" Just as am,' Faith of Our Fathers. Living Still" and 'Tn the Cross of Christ Glory"
 Nothing could illustrate better the change that has come over our re ligious thinking. In the list there is not one hymn about heaven. Ten years ago no congregation would have omitted Jerusalem the Golden. or There Is Land of Pure Delight and twenty-five years ago half the list would have been given to such hymns.

STONE. THAT BURNS i.-sELF
East of the Jordan Lime Ia Made
 From Rock That Contains It's s Own Fuel.

~g While making a trip through the Hauran district recently the writer's attention was attracted to a curious stone which might be described as a "self-burning limestone Our party came upon some natives burning 1t and was enabled to see the operation.
 This district is south of Damascus,
 east of the upper Jordan. At this place
 the rock lay in g stratum between or
 dinary limestone; 1t was of grayish
 black color, and when freshly broken
 mad an odor of petroleum Near by
 were outcrops of what looked like the same material many rods long and 20 to 30 feet thick.
 Quarrying Is easily done with primi- tive picks and other tools, as the rock Is quite soft and full of seams. The stone is broken into small pieces with hammers and piled up against the bank of rock.
 A wall of the same material about two feet high Is roughly laid up around the pile on three sides, making a pile or small stone eight to ten feet long and nearly as wide, and two feet at
 AtSne, ASiA6 lO nearly three times that height at the back. where 1t lies against the bank.
 In building the wall around the pile small holes are left for draft and in which to start the fire. When the kiln Is ready to burn few small punches of straw are placed in the holes men ttoned. lit with flint and steel and in short time the whole pile has ig- nited. The men then begin working on new kiln while the other burns and cools.
 After about two hours of burning the stone has all become converted into lime, except the stones in the wall and the very top layer. which are only about half burned. When cool the lime IS air-slacked and sifted to remove any pieces not thoroughly burned, which are thrown into a new pile to be fired again.
 The workmen told us that it made a very black smoke with a bad odor like kerosene burning. The lime is white and said to make very strong plas- ter. superior to the ordinary lime burned with brush This stone is so ocated that, should it prove to be of \ commercial, value. it could be easily I ransported.-Consula Reports.

Cactus Plant Useful

That the big pulpy cactus of Ar
 izona may become of commercial value is the opinion of United States Consul Ere erick w. Good ing, stationed at Montevidio, Uru quay, who states that in that coun. try the pulpy mass is used in the manufacture of unique white wash. In his letter to the depar.. ment of state Mir. Gooding writes as follows:
 When travelling through the rural districts of Uruguay. one's attention is attracted to the fine, white color of the farm buildings, even during the wet season. To ohtein this neat effect whitewash is used which is made with the sliced leaves of the common cactus, mac erated in water for twenty fou, hours, producing a solution oi creamy consistence; to this lime i 'dded and we'll mixed. When ap oiled to any surface, be it of wood brick, iron or other material, beautiful pearly white appearanc. 's produced which will endur. through storms and frosts for many years. In sections of the United States where the cactus is ! nuisance. the plant might b. utilized in the manner suggested.

Spent-a few days of last week 1T Coconino county campaigning among his old friends, this beins his home eounty-.the county tha' he has spent the best years of his life for, in. the capacity of con. structor, builder, booster, and last but not least, as an efficient and capable public servant, having served his county for several years in various county offices before he was elected to Congress. He did more than anyone else to bring before the world that great wonder of wonders. the Grand Canyon, which advertises Arizona more than any other one thing and causes ev- cry year vast sums of money to flow into our county.
 He made so many promises to the people in regard to what he would do if they would send him to Congressathree years ago, that many doubted his sincerity, but to the surprise of all he not only made every promise good, but even got more for Arizona than he agreed to do; and today his opponents can only criticize him for what he has done, such as the manner of getting statehood, the quality of our ten million acres of land, the vast number of old soldiers for whom he has procured pensions, the immense sums for the education of the Indian, the waste of public money in erecting handsome public buildings. Such is the criticism being hurled at him by his oppo- nents, simply from the fact that they are not able to find anything better, and in so doing they are | digging their own political graves; for the people of Arizona on Dec. 12 are going to cast their votes for genial, good natured Ralph Cam eron, the father of statehood, the builder, the booster,- and tireless worker.
 
 Cast your vote for Ralph, pro- lection and construction, and not for free trade and destruction.
