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 10 be sparrows. As he drew nearer he was able to distinguish a couple Of house martins by the side of d 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 il suddenly darted and seized one of them by the head and held 1t strug- gling until he got quite near. He then saw it was redbacked shrike. and to his astonishment it actually flew away with it's victim over the hedge by the roadside. showing a strength one would hardly have expected in so small a bird.-FrOm the Field.

Changing Taste in Hymns.

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 Gol to Thee.' Abide With Me" Jesus Lover of My Soul" "I Love 10 Tel the Story" Lead Kindly Light. |" Res. cue the Perishing,' Rock Of Ages. Onward Christian Soldiers What a Friend We Have in Jesus" Foul others were tied for tenth place Love Divine. All Love Excelling. Just as I am." Faith of Our Fathers. Living Still" and Tn the Cross O. Christ I 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.

MEDICINE USED IN RURAL DISTRICTS

Over B per cent Of the population oI the United States are said to live in rural districts remote from physi- clans or drug stores and they are obliged to depend upon proprietary medicines to a very great extent.
 To the women in these homes. such standard remedies as Lydia l.. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound come as a boon and a blessing.
 For nearly forty years this splen- did medicine. compounded from roots and herbs. has been relieving the wo- men of this country from the worst forms of female ills Merit alone could have stood such a test

Indian Arrows in a Tree.

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; flying eagle, tur' tie lying on its back and picture of a snake
 More than a dozen arrows were em- bedded in the tree, where they had been shot many years ago.

Dous Brinq High Prices.

It is not only in England and Amer ica that fantastic prices are paid for dogs, but in Germany fanciers will pay high prices At the recent exhibition of dogs at Cassel a Frenchman offered 12,000 marks, about $500, for po- lice dog. The dog rejoices in the name of Tell. and the sum offered might be considered as conclusive evidence that Tell is worthy of his famous name. but this is not all. The dog be- longs to Sergeant Decker, who re- fused the tempting offer, observing that his dog should not quit Germany at any price.

Ghee.

Ghee is used in India as is butter in America and Europe. It is, in fact, butter so prepared that it never be- comes stale, and there are recorded instances of its being preserved for a hundred years.
 In making ghee, butter is boiled un- til all the watery particles and curds have been thrown off by repeated skimmings. When the liquor has be- come clear oil, it is poured into a yes sel to cool. When cooled it is granu- lated and will keep for years without becoming rancid.-Harper's Weekly.

Denver Named for General Denver

Denver was founded by rowing pros pectors. the first of these pioneer min CTS settling on the site of the city and erecting their rude cabins in 1858. So rapid was the growth of the settle ment that in the following year it was incorporated as city by the Provis- ional Legislature, and named Denver in honor of Gen. J. w. Denver, then governor of Kansas, and man identi- fled with the early growth of the great west

THE COUNTRY LIFE SCHOOL.

It really is astonishing what nature offers in exchange for common sense. and how extremely stingy she is with people who are lazy, ignorant and un- imaginative It is no use for anyone to go into the country to be happy just by force; especially if they rely on viOlets and pinks and birds to make them happy; when they do not even know one flower or bird or fruit from another and do not care to know.
 My conviction is that there ought to be a school in each large city tO teach applicants how to be happy in the country-hOw to get acquainted with country things. and how tO enjoy them. Something of the sort is under way through the work of our agricultural colleges. and of that we will have something to say next month. It needs however. a special department in all cur city schools. where those who wish can go and prepare themselves for country life.-E. P. Powell in Outing.

By a. good sire of the breed you se- lect and gradually work into. a herd of high grades Eventually you. will want some pure bred females, and these you will get, but the experience gained by grading up and by improv- ed methods of. feeding and care which must be learned in actual praltice will make you ready for the pure breeds and insure greater success witf them than you could have should: you take charge at once of herd of highly bred and large producing anil mals.

ENCLISHMEN ARE IRATE
Because the United States Proposed to
Let American ships Pass Through
the Panama Canal Free

London, Jan. 8.-The proposition TO
grant preference 10 American vessels
passing through the Panama canal is
arousing much apprehension among
British shipping men. Most of the lead
ing shippers here declare that such a
preference would be violation of the
ay-Pauncefote treaty of 1902. Article
8 of that treaty reads:
The canal shall be free and open 10
vessels of commerce and of war of all
nations observing these rules of terms
Of entire equality. etc.
President Taft and Secretary of
War Stimson are quoted in the news
papers here as saying that this pref
erence could be given and that the
United States government must see to
it that tolls are charged TO vessels for
use of the canal but that in the case
OF American ships such tolls shall he
either reduced or not charged at all
and If that cannot be done under the
treaty then that the tolls shall be
wiped out for American vessels by a
contribuption from the treasury of the
United States amounting to the sum OF
the tolls paid by American ship own
