A Windmill Used as a Church.

Twenty years ago, when the vii

place of worship nearer than the par
sh church, a service was held in
schoolroom close by, and was SO we'll
attended that the authorities looked
around for suitable permanent
building. The erection of a church
was out of the question, but there
stood on the Heath the remains of
an old mill, picturesque feature in
o beautiful bit of landscape. Inspec-
lion showed that once the rats were
got rid of comparatively small out
lay would furnish and render the mill
1t for public worship, and soon it was
opened as the Chapel of the Holy
Cross. The interior of the chapel
arouses interest. Four buttresses,
four feet thick by six feet in height,
serve as rests for two massive beams
which cross each other in the centre
and support an upright shaft, crack
ed with age and strongly bound with
iron bands. The buttresses make
four natural alcoves. The entrance
door stands in one, and Immediately
opposite is the altar; the harmonium
Is placed in third, and the bell
ringer sits close beside it and rings
his bell; the fourth is occupied by
the congregation.

WI ASHINGTON.-If Uncle Sam want

value, according to the agents boom

bite" will depend upon the national
forestry commission.
The efforts to sell are being made
under the Weeks Forestry law. other
wise known as the Appalachian Forest
Reserve act. Last spring. when ad-
verdsements were issued for land to be
purchased with the 81 100000 appro-

states and New England has tried to
unload upon the government.
Already over 100000 acres have

sort property, but considerable pro-
portion Of 1t is. The resort property

This Country Full of Foreign Spies

Some years ago a young lieutenant in
foreign army spent his vacation on
this side OF the Atlantic, admittedly
reporting to his government the vari-
GUS activities Of the United States, es-
pecially in some of their island pro-
tectOrates. He returned to his home
country, and nothing more was heard
of him for several years.
One day toward the end OF 1910 a
man who had met this officer on his
first visit was much surprised to meet
him again on ferrybOat at New York
city. The officer was dressed in CIV
ilian clothes and either did not recog
nize his former acquaintance or pre-
tended not to recognize him. When
addressed, however, he readily ac-
knowledged his identity. He said he
was in this country permanently and
was working in factory on Staten
Island This factory was within half
an hours walk of some of the most
important Notifications on the Atlantic
seaboard.
Some time later the acquaintance
called up the factory to see If tho man
was still there. He was not, Lul mad
left shortly after the interview on the
ferryboat.

plans to get rid OF them, either by
breaking them up and selling them as

Prof. Muirhead tells an experience
OF his in examining some Birmingham
children in moral teaching. He asked
them to write an essay on the three
stages of life. One bright child re-
turned the following: There are
three stages of life. The first is when
we are very young, and think of the
wicked things which we shall be able
to do when we are older; and this is
the age OF innocence. The second is
when we are older. and are able to do
the wicked things which we thought

RACE SUICIDE AND LIQUOR
Degradation Seen, Not Only In Those
Who Drink, but 1t Is Blight on
Children Following.

The curse of liquor is seen not only
In the degradation of those who in
dulge in it. but it is especially a blight
on the children who follow them. This
fact should arouse all who have any
regard for the weak and helpless.
Speaking of drink and infanticide a
note in the Lutheran Standard says:
Eighty years ago when the Norwe-
gians were drinking people, 800 of
every 1000 children born died before
they reached their first birthday ami.
versary. Now, since they are a sober
people, the ratio is 80 and 80 per 1000.
In Bavaria, where the drink evil still
exists, of every 1000 born, 300 do not
survive a year. OF the $4,000 born
last year $500 were still-born. and
$4,000 died within a year." This is
race suicide and nation suicide in
such horrible proportions as to blanch
the cheeks and appal the hearts of all
who are not dead to all that is good.

WHAT DR.. WAHRER THINKS
Reads Paper at Chicago Meeting on
"Intemperance and Life Insurance."
Reviewing Drink Habit.

A paper on "Intemperance and Life
Insurance" was read by DR.. c. II.
Wahrer, at meeting of the Tr-State
Medical society, held in Chicago. He
reviewed the subject from the medi-
cal standpoint, that there is a serious
impairment of vitality by the habitual
use of alcoholic drinks. In the course
of the paper he said:
Whatever difference of opinion
there may be between the temperance
fanatic and the tippler, one thing is
certain the financiers all over the
world who have their money invested
in life insurance companies, all agree
that drinkers belong in the class of
hazardous risks, and their conclusions
are right. Physicians, hygienists and
Psychologists are now a unit on the
conclusion that even moderate drink
ing men can be of no benefit to any
one, that it may easily, without strain
ing point, lead to immoderate drink
ing, and that the latter, in the major
ity of cases, is injurious to health, not
only jeopardizing the best interests
menace to him in case he should ever
get sick. The outlook for man who
should fall i'll with pneumonia, ty-
phoid fever, dysentery, nephritis, heart
disease, diabetes and affections of the
liver, is bad enough under the best of
circumstances, but if the patient is
an Incorporate man, his hope for re-
ic oil
the fight for life is desperate if not
hopeless. Every physician who has
had much emergency hospital practice
or even private practice among the in
temperate, can give his assent to these
statements. 1--WE further know that
men who follow hazardous occupa-
lions are frequently liable to injuries
In case the party injured is temper
ate, his chances for recovery from
the injuries are far in excess of the
man who uses intoXicants.
THE matter seems to be of suffi-
cient importance to those interested
in life insurance, both as individuals
who carry TIE policies as well as the
companies who insure them. | might

EGYPTIAN FARMING TOOLS.
Crude Native Thresher-Plouqh Is
still Smoothed Off Tree Fork.

"One of the curious sights in the
EGys ticn harvest season is modern
threshing machine noisily working in
field in which a native thresher is
treading out the grain" said Horace
F. Coler of Chicago, who has made
tour of the world in the interests of
American farming implements.
The brown skinned tiller of the
soil, clad in his flowing robes of
white or the favored dull blue and
yellow combination sitting on the
high seat of the crude thresher,
which is dragged over the fields by a
yoke of patient camels or perhaps
ca~cl arl a donkey or a couple c.
buffalo cows, appears to the 4tIalger
who sees this for the first time like
the principal actor in a scene worked
out by an ingenious mind for stage
effect.
The native plough in Egypt is sim
ply the forked portion of tree or
two pieces joined together and
smoothet off, a primitive contrivance
which may still be seen in use by Gu
ban farmers. The thresher is a
sledgelike affair fitted with round
crushers of wood of iron and weight
ed down from the top. The grain
is crushed into the ground and when
gathered up it is mixed with Jumps of
mud, but it is said that never a ker-
mel of it Is lost or wasted.
American farming machinery may
be found in the remotest parts of
the world and where least expected.

Draughtsmen Separated From Payroll

EIGHTY draughtsmen, whose annual
L salaries aggregate a quarter OF a

at the end of last month. This force

vidual plans for the governments pub

But there was nothing extra coming

world cordial invitation to join South
Mississippi in exploiting these wonder
full resources.
The Mississippi and Gulf Coast Ex-
position Company had nothing to begin
with save tract of land adjacent to the
city. Not a building of any kind was
on this tract and no improvements of
any kind. But the men behind the move
ment set to work with will, and, I'M
der the direction of President Bouslog,
Secretary HOWE, Director Simpson,
Vice President Barrow and others, made
steady Roadway, until the original tract
presents an appearance that it would
be hard to recognize as the woodland
spot it was little more than a year
ago.
The main entrance to the grounds for
persons on foot is at the southeast cor
ner Here an arch has been constructed
within stones throw of the 18th
street car line. From this entrance lead
ing west is a twenty-foot walk seven
hundred feet long. Between the walk

Turning to the right along this walk
will be observed the main exhibit build
ing. 1t is substantially built for the
fair company as permanent institu-
ton. 1t is on concrete foundations with
gable roof and numerous flag poles, the
design being somewhat similar to the

fair.
The race trec!s is on the east side of
the grounds, some distance from the
east fence, perhaps $50 feet. This space
may be used for a driveway and a place
for parking automobiles and teams.
There is a driveway all around the
grounds on the outside. On the east side
this driveway is seventy-seven feet wide
The southeast entrance is 30th avenue.
The night shows will be made feat

make it a success there will be thrilling
events that will leave an indellible i'm
preston on the minds of the visitor The
familiar discord of the merry-go-round,
the death-defying leap of the high diver,
the balloon ascension and the hoarse
voices of the circus callers are all things
that we expect to see and hear at a
county fair, but in the tri-county coast
fair the merry go-round will have lost
some of its discord; the death-defying
acrobats will be more death-defying
than ever; the balloon will go higher
and the circus man will call louder, for
every feature of this fair will excel past
records.
A visit to the coast alone is an in
duccment to nearly every one who lives
in the interior. To get the trip at a rate
of one fare plus 25 cents, and in addi-
ton to be able to see the resources of
the coast conferred at one point, is an
overwhelming inducement. The beauty
and attractiveness of the coast has been
much praised, but never overestimated.

The wind pressure to operate the
pipes is supplied with power from the
engine. There are ten pipes, giving

two half notes" included. The stops
are operated from the rear seat of the
car, by means of wires running to
miniature keyboard attached to the
back of the front seat. The instru-

to pedestrians.
