BIRDS IN CHURCH SERVICE
Novel Idea Of Pastor Adds Greatly
to Harmonles Of the Choir and
Congregation.

Venice, NJ Y.--Canaries. csroling an
unusual accompaniment to the organ
and choir were used in the Venice
Union church the other night as an
aid to righteousness. The pastor the
Rev. Fenwicke l.. Holmes, decided to
surprise his flock with the unique
plan.
The congregation accordingly filed
into a church frightened by the mel
ody Of dozen pretty yellow birds,
imported from Germany, their cages
swinging at advantageous points high
above the heads of the worshipers
The canaries interrupted the Rev.
Holmes sermon very little. But when
the choir and the congregation arose
to sing hymns, the feathered song
sters burst forth into musical cadences
which greatly enhanced the human
praises Of the Creator.
The Rev Mr.. Holmes does not know
that canaries were ever used before
at church services, but he thinks them
a great help TO sincere worship. They
win be used every Sunday hereafter.

UNTITLED FOR HUMAN FOOD
Especial Care Should Be Exercised In
the Use Of Either Frozen or
Dried Eggs.

Frozen and dried eggs intended for
human consumption are largely used
for cooking purposes where inferior
lily may be concealed, as in baking
cakes or making custards, oinelets,
pics, etc. The traffic in eggs sold for
drying and freezing has greatly in
creased in the past few years. Strict
ly fresh marketable eggs in the shell
command a high price and there Is
difficulty in meeting the demand for
them; but large quantities of question:
able eggs, often bought at very low
prices, have been brought out for
cooking purposes by disreputable'
firms, being preserved by freezing or
drying until ready for use. Some
dealers, however, manufacture SAT-
isfactory product by the use Of good
eggs handled under proper condh-
tions.
There is no objection to drying or
freezing good eggs under proper SAN
itary conditions; in fact, there arc
some advantages to be gained by pre-
serving eggs in this manner, although
the manufacturing processes devised
by man. as rule, do not improve the
quality of natures work. Conditions
Of modern life and commerce must,
however, be met, and dried eggs or
eggs in a frozen condition may be
shipped long distances, and require
less space for transportation and stOr
age than do eggs in the she'll.

KING EDWARD As A DRUMMER
England Had Nc Better travelling
Salesman Than He, According
to RIographes.

King Edward VII Of England ere
ated a new type OF monarch. Edward
protected end enlarged the nations
resources. There was not IN the whole
United Kingdom more Industrious
commercial traveller or a better mer-
chant. He only wore the crown when
it was absolutely necessary. He had
mingled with men Of all classes and
professions, had had experiences to
which crown princes are not usually
exposed, had been on familiar terms
with inanclers and captains Of indus
try, and had learned to look on the
world with the eve Of a comfortable
gentleman, He was quickly at home
everywhere. Whether he had to deal
with the self-conuolled Alexander or
his volatile son. with Indian princes
or Yankees, with the fiery Delcasse
or the witty Clemenceau, he always
struck the right note.
He was a lucky man. He enjoyed
life from the day he left the nursery.
Englishmen did not mind that. They
would not have liked a morose and
stingy monarch. Prince BERTHE, who
ate well, drank well, did well at the
derby, at the tables. and settled the
fashion OF the season, was the man
for them. 1t did not seem to them a
serious misfortune that he was hostile
to Bismarck and at times went lit
tie too far with shady people. He al
ways drew his head out OF the moose

casion for another chuckle.-From a

 OYSTER BAY July 2.-'1 shall, of course. continue to stand for the pro gressive nomination. said Colonel Roosevelt tonight, after he had heard of the nomination of Wilson
 The former president stated his be- lief that the events of the democratic as well as the republican convention demonstrated the need of a new party.
 In reaffirming his candidacy. Col onel Roosevelt s,tid in part:
 TO my mind what has gone on at Baltimore for the past ten days has shown the utterly irreconcilable na- ture of the elements within the demo- cratic party, as elements SO irrecon- cilable as to make it hopeless to ex- pect from them any prominent reform movement along constructive lines
 ''It was also shown that any nOmi- nation obtained at Baltimore could after all be obtained only by the sup port of men like Taggart of Indiana, and Sullivan of Illinois. and the sue cess of the candidate at the polls. without regard to his personality, would be conditioned not only upon the hearty support of Taggart, Sulli- van and their colleagues and repre- sentatiVes of every other state, from New York to Colorado. but would also be conditioned upon these men sue ceeding in carrying their several state tickets and perpetuating themselves in control of the democratic party.
 Under these conditions l feel that the events at Baltimore, like the
