Berlin's Wonderful Sewer.

One of the municipal wonders of the
world is the Reigelfelder. in which the
100000 daily cubic meters of Berlins
sewage have converted a desert into
beautiful and profitable agricultural
area. Recently Director Schroeder took
a party of 20 to visit this region, par
ticularly that part of it where 1900 cows
are kept for the city's milk supply.
The New York Evening Post states that
luXuriant crop of grass is there to
feed them, and the milking is done with
the aid of electricity, which enables one
man to milk six cows at once, the ami
mails being apparently pleased with this
improvement on the old hand work.
Besides pasturage for the cows the
Reigefelder includes many acres in which
intensive truck-farming is carried on
upon a large scale. Small fortunes
have already been made here by parties
who rented sections of this irrigated
land.
The sewage is subjected to treatment
which makes it perfectly odorless and
mucous. There is a lake in which
carp are grown that are noted for their
fine flavor Besides getting rid of it's
waste, the municipality by this arrange
ment effects a great saving to the tax
payers. Already the meats, fruits and
vegetables raised here suffice to supply
the needs of all the hospitals and other
public institutions.

Lincoln at a Saloon Door.


GJohn Talmadge Bergen in the Advance
Some years ago at a Lincoln meeting
among the old soldiers of a Michigan
city one of the battle worn veterans
gave the following testimony: I'VE have
heard what Lincoln has done for all of
us; l want to tell what he did for me.
| was a private in one of the western
regiments that arrived first in Wash
ington after the call for $4,000 We
were marching through the city amid
great crowds of cheering people, and
then, after going into camp, were given
leave to see the town. Like many
other of our boys, the saloon or tavern
was the first thing we hit With my
comrade l was just about to go into the
door of one of these places, when a
hand was laid upon my arm, and, look
ing up, there was President Lincoln,
from his great hight above me, a mere
lad, regarding me with those kindly
eyes and pleasant smile.
Il almost dropped with surprise and
bashfuness, but he held out his hand,
and as l took it he shook hands in
strong western fashion and said, L don't
like to see our uniform going into these
places That was all he said. He
turned Immediately and walked away
and we passed on. We would not have
gone into that tavern for all the wealth
of Washington city
And this is what Abraham Lincoln did
then and there for me. He fixed me so
that whenever l go near a saloon and in
any way think of entering, his words and
| face come back to me. That experience
| has been a means of salvation to my life.
| Today l hate the saloon, and have hated
it ever since 1 heard those words from
that great man.

Control Of the Ball.

The first necessity for a pitcher is to
nave control of the ball That can't be
emphasized too strongly A boy may be
able to throw all the curves imaginable,
but If he can't put the ball where he
wants 1t, the batters keep walking
around the bases, and he will never win
any ball games. Therefore, l would, first
OF all, advise my young readers to prac-
tice accuracy, until they can place the
ball just where they want to send 1t.
Let them pitch to another boy, with a
barn or fence as back stop, and try
to put one high, over the inside of the
plate, the next low over the inside, and
then high over the outside, and again
low over the outside; and keep up this
practice patiently until mastery of the
control of the ball is obtained. A boy
will find that even If he can't pitch a
curve, but has good control, he will be
able to win many more ball games than
If he has a lot of benders, but no ability
to put the ball where he wants It,

NEWFANE.
An Appreciation.

A very interesting book entitled
Swedes in New Britain" has just been
published by Rev j. f. Klingberg, pas
tor of a Baptist church in that city.
This book contains an appreciative
sketch of Mrs N S. Moore, wife of Rev.
n. s. Moore, recently of Newfane, now
OF North Pomfret. 1t will interest her
many friends here and elsewhere The
book is printed in Swedish and Mrs.
Moore has made a translation into Eng
fish. The appreciation is as follows:
'Botilda Pierson, cousin of the we'll
known florist and man of affairs, A n.
Pierson, Cromwell, Conn, is a noble
minded and cultured lady, although not
well known among her country people
in New Britain. This is no doubt due
to the fact that she associated exclu-
sively with the American people while
in New Britain, and was thus prevented
from coming in closer contact with the
Swedes.
"She was born in Gladsax, Skane, and
came to Plainvile in 1870, but soon be-
came a member of a Congregational
minister's family in Berlin, Conn. After
several years of study in the high
school and normal school in New Brit
ain, she graduated from the latter in
1876. Being an intimate friend of New
Brtain's distinguished citizen Elihu
Burritt, she had the honor of receiving
quet of choicest flowers, and to be con-
veyed to and from the graduation ex-
ercises in a carriage provided by him.
Her first position as teacher was in
the school at Osgood hill, whence she
was promoted to the Burritt school in
the city One winter she studied Ian
guages with Mr. Burrtt and boarded in
Der of the Central church and gathered
about her a class of young Swedish
women in the Sunday school, several of
whom are still in New Britain.
This Sunday school class was one of
the very earliest efforts to gather these
children of this nationality about the
word of God, to teach them out Of its
treasure house and to satisfy the crav-
ing after fellowship with God that ex-
lists in the hearts of these children of
the North, even when they find them
selves in a strange land.
I'm 1873 she accepted the offer of a
position in the Morgan school, Clinton,
Conn, and so left New Britain, much to
the regret of school authorities and her
many friends Not long after that she
married the Rev. N. S. Moore. and is
now located at Newfane, VT. When Mr..
Burritt's hundrdeth birthday anniversary
was commemorated in New Britain, May
10, 1910, she was an invited guest.
Mrs. Moore has translated into Swed-
ish the widely known book, Ben Hur,
and is also the author of an exceedingly
interesting leaflet, early recollections OF
Mormonism in Sweden She was also
chosen by her class in the normal school
as their class poet and composed a po-
EN- for the occasion that interpreted the
parting from school and comrades in a
truly tender and heartfelt spirit. She
has been, and is today, deeply inter-
ested in the temperance cause and has
for many years held prominent offices
in It, Honor to her. She has not lived
in vain. She hath done what she
could"

rectly with the farmer and getting his
supplies fresh from the farm. If they
are not satisfactory he can make his

Convenience of the System.
A farmer here can ship his goods
through the post and have collection
made for them when delivered and re-
mtted to him for a very small sum,
and of course, the merchant can do the
same in shipping his goods to the farm
err. The convenience of the system APP
peals to me very strongly, for the par
cells are taken up and delivered in the
country just as letters are, and every
part of Germany has at least one rural
mail delivery a day, and the greater
part of it has two deliveries. 1t is GER
tainy a great contrast to our present
facilities for shipping packages in
America. For example, at my home in
Columbus, Ohio, I live just outside the
zone in which the express companies
make deliveries Can arbitrarily fixed dis
trict of very limited area, and each
week l get a basket of butter, eggs,
poultry, etc, sent from my farm some
20 miles away. The basket must not
only be taken to the express office. some
five miles from the farm, and sent by
| express to Columbus, at a cost of 80
| cents, but I must go to the express Of
| flee and get it. With a parcels post
| such as Germany has the basket would
be taken from the farm by the rural
mail delivery and delivered to my house
in Columbus, and it would cost u cents
| instead of 30 cents.
Does Away with the MiddIeman.
| We may theorize about how the profits
| of the middleman can be reduced and
| the expense of distribution decreased
| and distance between producer and con-
sumner shortened, but where are we to
| get a more simple and effective solution
| than by establishing a parcels post?
| What will do more to reduce the cost
| of living to the man in the city and to
| increase the income of the farmer than
| to have them deal directly with each
| other through the parcels post?
| When one sees what a convenience the
| parcels post is and how much 1t means
to the economic prosperity and well
fare of both the man in the city and
the man on the farm. it is hard to real
ize how any interests have been strong
