secretary of Illinois Sunday School
association. in which he explained

and 70 arouse interest IN Sunday
school work. Mr.. Cork expects in

Rev. /. W. Williamson OF Vancou-
YER, B. C., general secretary OF the
British Columbia Provincial Sunday
School association. spoke on Pres
ent-day Demands of the Sunday
School Teacher" He laid emphasis
on the Importance of responsibility
OF the scholar in the work OF the
school, OF the Importance of the
teacher being prepared In eelf even
moro than in the lesson and of the
need OF personal interest In the work.
The successful teacher must be pre-
preparation OF his heart and life,
rather than to the preparation OF the
lesson: what the teacher Ia, is far
more important than what he says.
ON ORGANIZED GLASS.

the Rhode Island Sunday School as
sociation, spoke on The Purpose and

idea Is that the pupils must have the
responsibility OF the class on them
selves. that they must be given some
thing worth while 20 do. He said
that the child has q right 20 express
himself IN the affairs OF the class as

not seem that one Of the most impor-
tant and necessary means Of safety
lies in the regulation of the public In
this indiscriminate use Of railroad
premises? Statistics Of the interstate
commerce commission show that no
less than 51.osS people were killed
while trespassing on the property OF
railways in this country from 1902 to
1911. The number Of railway passen-
gers killed during the last 10 years was
4,34o. Trespassing on railway proper
ty, almost universal in the United
States, is cause Of great trouble and
expense to the railways. It is con-
stantly necessary for trainmen to stop
trains to put of people who are steal
ing rides or to keep from running
down those who are walking on the
tracks. Oftentimes rainmen become
involved in fights with trespassers and
are injured or killed by them. Tres
passers often NEEDLE with switches,
causing wrecks and often great loss of
life"

decided upon at a conference in that

various organizations. International
President ]. A Franklin of the boiler
makers said In Kansas City that no
meeting of the systems declarations
was contemplated. There's nothing
radical in sight" said he. I'VE have
been going over the entire situation
with view to bringing about a better
understanding between the unions.
many matters to be considered" One
Of the subjects discussed was the re-
organization Of the shopmen's fedora
tons 80 as to include only workmen
who are employed exclusively in the
shops. President W. H. Johnson of
the machinists contended that unless
the system declarations were organized
on different basis they would be GER
tain to fail Of their purpose. In fact,
all those present believed that there
was future for declarations composed
strictly Of shop trades, but how to
bring this about was the question.
There are nine trades in the Illinois
System federation and it has been dis
covered that in getting new wage
scales the number made negotiations
too complicated. The boilermakers,
blacksmiths and machinists, with prob
ably the sheet metal workers and
steamftters, are the unions likely to
take part in the new plan of organiza-
ton. This would leave out the car
men. clerks and other workmen not
employed in the railroad shops. Pres
ident Franklin was emphatic in saying
THAT radical action was not even con.
sidered.

The story runs that Beethoven's
Moonlight sonata-always so called,
though he so rarely gave a descrip-

composed on an occasion when he had
been playing to some stranger folk by
chance. Walking with a friend he
overheard In an humble house some
one playing with much feeling a bit
OF one of his sonatas. He paused to
listen. In a moment the music ceased

KILL THE POULTRY INSECTS
Several Remedies, If Properly Applied,
VIII Eradicate Mites-Few Eff
fectIve Formulas.
(By c. M. WELLS.)

Several remedies, If properly ap.
piled. Will kill the mites. The eggs
remain, however. In every part of the
house-in the roof, the cracks. the
nest boxes and roosting places. So
you must paint every part of the
house. not forgetting the inside roof.
and there are many effective formulas
for this. l reproduce some, and which
one Is the most convenient for you to
use accept 1t: a
Take one gallon of coal tar "a by.
product from any gas plant), four
ounces OF carbolic acid or four ounces
OF creolin and one quart OF kerosene
Mix well and apply with paint brush.
One most easily made and obtained
Is one gallon of ordinary whitewash
made of lime. one-half pound of sui
phur and four ounces of either creolin
or carbolic acid. to be mixed and ap-
piled with paint brush.
Either of these formulas will kill
the eggs and you should not have fur
Their trouble In six months.
The insects that infest the grass
and weeds are troublesome for the
fowls. There are ticks and gnats
which may cause sores on the head.
but an ordinary salve rubbed on the
afflicted part will cure 1t.
The chicken lice remain on the
fowls at all times and must be sufro-
Gated with dust of some kind or by
dipping the fowl in disinfectant
which is not poisonous to the fowl.
Many people dust their fowls month
ly with a powder, and the formulas
following are probably as good as any:
or one pound of flowers OF sulphur
and four ounces of coal tar camphor
(naphthaline flakes) use four pounds
OF very fine plaster of paris. Mix
thoroughly and keep dry in a closed
vessel. Use by busting among the
feathers
Another mixture is made of one
pound Of air Stacked lime. one pound
OF snuff and five pounds of road dust.
Mix thoroughly and use as above d.
rected.
giving the fowls comfort is keeping
dust bath box about four feet square
and six inches deep filled to within
two inches Of the top with wood ashes
Ito which Is sometimes added a pound
of sulphur. The fowls will dust them
selves and practically rid themselves
OF lice. The old methods are some
times entirely effective. and they are
certainly simple. The fowls enjoy
them. and you are saved much extra

psychological observation you could
convince the jury that your client,

innocent of the crime of which he was
