EVERY MOVE CREATES SOUND
scientific Fact Not Known to AIl- Acateness of Hearing Among tho
 Lower Animals.

1t is very difficult to make some per sons believe that nothing can move without making a sound, although it may seem to be absolute silence to them. Everything that moves dis turbs the air around it and sets up a kind of wave motion that spreads through the atmosphere in all direc- tions. When these wave motions are strong enough a sound is heard. That nothing is heard is no evidence that there is no sound, for other living things may hear what men cannot.
 Tn, motion that is started in the air when anything vibrates or moves suddenly has often been compared to the motion of the surface of still wa ter when we drop pebble fhto a pond. But there is this great differ ence. The eye can see the wave made by the smallest glass bead you can find, but the ear is not nearly so sen- sitive, and unless the waves are pret- ty high in the atmosphere the human ear cannot detect them as sound.
 The lower animals and birds have much better ears than human beings, A dog will prick up it's e:rs at the sound of it's masters voice. or faint whistle, when it is an astonishing dis tance off. A man iii Baltimore put his head out of the window and called his dog Jack, which he thought was chas- ing cats in the grounds of the blind asylum opposite.
 The dog was sitting on the steps or a friends house with the mans daugn' ter, nearly half mile away, and Tn stantly jumped up and tore oil home It had heard that call.
 A deer has been known to look uI at the sound of footstep that was still half a mile away in the woods.

DISTINCT VALUE OF PICTURES
Care in Selection and Hanging Will Be Well Repaid in Increased
 Pleasure Afforded.

"A room hung with pictures is room hung with beautiful thoughts How many of us give the right amount of careful thought in hanging pictures on odr walls? Do we ever think of the pleasure and effect on ourselves of the paintings or prints that are constantly before our eyes!
 "That chromo makes me wild," says one protesting esthetic woman, as she gazes on a relic of the barbarous age in art. It is vividly colored print of a very old and very ugly Juliet lean- ing over the balcony in the arms of a Romeo who would not take prize for anything except climbing up a vine. The walnut frame is old and matches the execrable "whatnot" o1 our mothers time. The whole thing Is unpleasant, badly drawn, badly col ored and absolutely out of place, and vet it hangs on, simply because some dead aunt saw fit to give it at an an- niversary!
 Pictures should please. They should educate and elevate. They should be Of the good painters. How rich is the treasure from which we can choose. How wonderful are the modern re. productions at ridiculously little cost!
 Begin now to tear down the mean ingless prints that speak nothing to you Hang upon your walls restfui beautiful pictures that will have just as much effect, psycaologically, on your nerves, your mind, your soul. as the companions of yo,lr hours.

WILLIAM BOOTH.

A great man has fallen in the
fullness of time. William Booth. com
mander of the Salvation army, the
worlds greatest Soldier of the
cross" has gone to his reward after
half a century of unremitting labors
to uplift the bodies and souls of
men.
William Booth was a pioneer, and
as such will leave the impress OF
his work upon all nations for years
to come. Many organizations and So
cities had talked about reaching the
lowly and the degraded and the sin
full. the Submerged TENTH but
William Booth was the man who
went to them and talked with them.
and ministered to them and brought
them to a realizing sense OF their
need of God.
The one great reason for the prog
ress of the Salvation army and for
it's great usefulness in the world
Is found in the fact that Its work
was done with singleness of pur-
pose and with unselfish devotion.
And again, the Salvation army,
in distinction from many other re-
ligious, social and philanthropic
organizations, has never gone into
politics. The Salvation army only
knew that there were men and wo-
men OF every class who needed help
spiritual and material, an. this was
the one great purpose OF its exis-
tence.

The advice to farmers has been
coming from all directions during
the last few years. to raise a few
more cattle. The advice seems both
timely and sound. and should also
include de-particularly for this Sec
tion-a few more hogs. 1t is easy
to do both. Many of our farmers
have a little pasturage to spare; a
few even advertise for stock to pas
ture. Most of them raise alfalfa.
and this win help out both the
pork and cattle. Many of them also
have little surrounding range OH
which they could Craze few head
of cattle and 1t presents almost the
only means of future supply. Nearly
all farms are raising poultry extern
sively. and a great many OF them
seem to overlook the greater advan-
tages that would come from add
ing a few more cows and hogs. The
COWS would pay in the dairy line
and their calves would increase the
farmers herd.
