WANTS PLAIN TITLE.

Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead of
the Episcopal diocese of PittsbnrS
in a letter to the Churchmon, dis
cussing the subject of a change in
the title page Of the prayer book
says that he personally would pre-
fer the simple line, "l'hc Book OF
Common Prayer" Bishop White
head adds that this would "throw
the book out for all men to use, for
whatever devotional purpose, as the
book common to alt English speak
ing peoples, and to all others who
care to translate aud use it, Thereby
we get rid of discussions concelAlng
Catholic, Protestant of Episcopal
and have u title page unscctorian,
NEUROLOGICAL, without narrow and
doctrinal label ON its very front"

lated a remarkable story of what oc-
Cured during one Of his experiments
with u gunpowdcr made of cordlte
and carbon. After the explosion, in
which the elevation Of temperature
was estimated to have been about
1900 degrees Ccntigrodc, a residue
was left in the explosion chamber in
which the investigator ofterward
found diamonds, They were, Of
course, exceedingly minute, and
must have been formed from the

THE MOTHER BEARS MISTAKE
Thought Froicsomo Offspring Had
Been Up to Mischief and Boxed
His Ears.

A Washington man relates how,
on one OCCASION in the west, when ne
was on his way back to camp after
a days shooting, he suddenly came
in sight of a big she bear with two
cubs following her in single file.
They were proceeding along a ridge,
the forms OF all Of them sharply de-
fined against the evening sky
1t was long range for a shot,
but the sportsman drew a bead on
the old she bear and fired. The re-
suit was amusing. The procession
stopped. The she bear scratched her.
self hastily, then turned round, and,
regarding the cub Immediately be-
hind with severe disapproyal, boxed
its ears soundIy.
Mother Bear then went on her
way, her back uncommonly rigid
and unrelcnting, and it was clearly
apparent to the sportsman that she
was under the impression that her
frolicsomc offspring had been up to
some mischief that must not be re-
peatcd. -IIarpcr's Weekly.

SUGAR TARIFF BOOKED
FOR EARLY LEGISLATION
Abolition of DiffercntiaI In Favor of
Cuba Regarded ms
Probable.


Washington, November 2i-The abo-
!iton of the 90 per cent. dinerential
In favor OF Cuban sugar provided by
the present tariff law and the substi-
tuition OF an al ralorem rate of from
40 to % per cent. for the present spe-
cihc rates probably will be undertake en-
Mt the approaching session of Congress.
The suggestion has been made by some
OF the Independent retincrs, and II has
been received with favor by Repubii-
can Senator's, who will be active In any
tariff legislation that may be under
taken.
1t is commended that neither the Gu
, ban planter nor the American consum-
or receives any considerable portion
OF the benefit derived from tho present
Preferential arrangement, and IL is
urged that reduction on some I'M
portatonS thus could be provided for
while at the same time practically pre-
serving the protection at present az
lorded to American sugar makera AL
most all OF the sugar brought into tho
United states comes from Cuba
Tile average rate now paid on Cuban
importation is equivalent to about So
per cent. and il is urged that the adj
Nalorem rate suggested would quite
cover the cuban protection. while at
,mv same tme the effect would be to
lower the rate from other countries
"hich Is equivalent TO 7S per cent.
very few matters connected with the
lhrln received more quiet attention
umring tho last session than the sugar
