The Zurich Conference.

Delegates of Sunday schools of three
continents assembled at Philadelphia last
Thursday in order to make preliminary
arrangements for the next worlds con-
ference, ratifying the selection of the
city of Zurich, in Switzerland, and set
ting the date for the week of July 8,
1913 There are altogether in the whole
world $4,000 Sunday schools, with a
total membership of 28yoooooo pupils.
At the next conference ways and means
are to be debated upon to make the
Sunday school evangelization still
greater success.
The Sunday school is the ante-cham-
Der of the church, and the Sunday
school workers of the world are en-
deavoring to increase its interest and
efficiency. One Of the improvements
contemplated is a series of simple and
palmer lessons to take the place OF
those which very often are far too diff
cult for youthful minds to grasp.

time to ply him with the many surpris-

with as much modesty as might be, Il

The Penny Newspaper.

Andrew Carnegie says that the mos
important thing in the world is thc
cheapest-a I-cent newspaper 1t is {
marvel to him, as it is to many others
how a complete newspaper, containing
! all the news of the world, can be issued
for a penny.
The modern newspaper is a wonder
full institution. Thousands of men and
women are constantly working for it
They dwell in all lands and are on duty
at every hour of the day and night. A
million eyes are observing and report
ing events in order that the reader
when he tosses a penny to the newsboy
or picks up his paper at the breakfast
table, may know the record of the pre-
vious day. The telegraph wires are
laden with news. Into a tremendous
hopper goes the product of human
brains-correspondence, local happen
ings, editorial views, sporting and social
intelligence-all gathered with an in
dustry that is tirelesS When it all
comes out of the hopper upon the print
ed pages it represents the best effort of
those who are purveyors of news for
the public
The trouble is, always, that the space
of paper is limited by certain NUM-
Der of pages and columns. while the
amount of matter that offers itself for
publication is absolutely endless Never
was anything falser than the notion
that a newspaper editor needs Some
thing to fill up" The task of the editor
is to find space in which to print the
enormous quantity of material which
piles upon his desk More than half
the time is occupied in condensation.
And then, when the thousands of words
have been read and edited and the paper
is offered to the public, the wonder is
that there are so few errors in print
Working constantly under tremendous
strain, written sentences being converted
into type in the twinkling of an eye,
the necessity of haste always hanging
overhead like Damocles' sword-amid
all this pressure, the proportion of in
accuracy is so small that an error is the
exception rather than the rule.
When the result of all this effort is
offered for a penny, there is no doubt
that Mr.. Carnegie is right when he says
that the most important thing in the
world is the cheapest. The Washington
Herald is proud that it belongs in the
class of penny papers. These are the
papers for the multitude; and when quail
ity accompanies cheapness, so that
those who could pay more read the paper
because it is good, while those to whom
its low cost is an essential factor are
glad to be afforded an opportunity to
secure it, the penny paper becomes the
most important medium of publicity in
the community.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
VERY FLAT.

The ancients thought the world was

And right they were.
Yes: they were justified in that,
We must aver.
They had no golf, benighted dubs,
No brainstorms then;
They had no cigarettes or clubs
Like modern men.
They had no chorus girls, no pie,
No pennant race;
No complicated ways to try
A murder case.
They had no bridge whist in their day,
No rye or gin.
They thought the world was fat, and

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
By A. w. MACY.
PETTY CRIMES PUNISHABLE
BY DEATH.

BY DEATH.
In 1906 an English writer pub
lished a list of fifty-six crimes
that were punishable by death in
that country. A large percentage
of them were what are now con-
sidered minor offenses; yet, upon
conviction of the offenders, the
judges were obliged to pass SEN
tence of death. At one session of
Old Bailey Court, in London, the
term ending September 4, 1901,
the following convictions were
made: Two men for entering a
dwelling house in the daytime
and stealing a cotton counterpane:
one man for stealing a linen cloth;
two men for burglary; one man
for stealing a pair of stockings;
another sfor stealing six silver
spoons; another for returning
from transportation: another for
stealing a horse; another for
stealing a blue coat; two men for
stealing four teaspoons and a gold
snuff box: one man for stealing
a lamb. and another for stealing
two lambs. 1t Is not recorded that
all these were hanged. but some
of them undoubtedly were. Prob
ably the most extraordinary case
on record is that of an English
boy who was sentenced to death
for polishing a sixpence and try
ing to pass II for a shilling.
