A DAILY DURING
THE CONVENTION

For the benefit of the thousands
Of delegates that will be here in
September, arrangements have been
made to publish the National Baptist
Union-Review, the official organ OF
their denomination, as a daily paper.
The Rev. r, Fl. Eoyd, d. D., the bust
ness manager, has already announced
his plans for the publication. Photo
graphs and cuts of some of the best
known men among the Baptists are
being collected aech day A general
letter has already been sent out re-
questing those that do not have cuts
to send photographs 1t is hoped by
this plan that the Union-Review will
be able to bring out even better
Gaily paper than was accomplished at
New Orleans, where the idea proved
such successful one, and to even
eclipse the excellent showing made
by the "Sunday-School Congress BuL
letin" when it was published in this
city when the Sunday-School Con
gress was in session here. Expert
enced newspaper men who know how
to gather news items, and who have
made specially of reporting reli
gious bodies have been selected The
plan is to run the Union-Review OF
set it up on three Mergenthaler Limo
type Machines and run them off al
the rate of ten thousand per houl
on Scott's rotary press and fOlC
them on an automatic cross feeder
attached to a Fuller folder. These
three pieces of new machinery, to
gether with the stitcher recently in
stalled, will enable the Publishing
Board to put out the paper by the
opening of every morning session
Doctor Boyd stated this week thai
the daily Union-Review would in nc
wise interfere with the weekly publ
cation and that all of the regular
subscribers would get their weekly
paper as heretofore. Theer is to bt
no change in the editorial manage
ment of the paper for the daily is
sues.

mail and missionary matters coming
addressed to the superintendent OF
missions
A number of years ago it
will be remembered that DIR. Hart
was superintendent of missions. This
was after his resignation as pastor
of the First Baptist Church, this city.
His work was looked upon as so high
ly commendable that the church at
Owensboro, Ky, called him to the
pastorate. From Owensboro he went
to Memphis and from Memphis to
Knoxville. His return to Nashville
appears to meet the hearty approval
of the leaders of the state conven-
ton. He was unanimously elected
as president of the Baptist State Con
vention last year at Jackson, but be
fore he could serve one year he is
called to take up the missionary work
again

DEER FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA
Are to Be Brought From English
Estate and Turned Loose in
the Rockies.

After completing hunting tour
which occupied the greater part of
two years and which has been con-
Quoted in the wilds Of three contin-
ents, G. E. Lucas, an English hunter
and naturalist who is visiting Van
couver, will make arrangements be-
fore his departure with the British
Columbia government and game
wardens of the province for the accom-
mediation of several hundred red deer
which will be brought from his
fathers estate at Warnham, Surrey,
England, early in September next
year.
These animals have been given to
the government of the province by
C. H. Lucas, Sr.. the intention being
to turn them loose in the wilds of the
Rockies and allow them to increase
until their numbers warrant Che pass
ing of game ordinance allowing them
to be shot in limited numbers.
Mr.. Lucas said that it was originally
intended to send the deer out this
year, but unhappily the outbreak Of
foot ard mouth disease among Eng
lish cattle had prevented the exporta-
ton of any live stock from the old coun-
try. Consequently the animals were
retained. About fifteen years ago his
father had made similar gift to the
government of New Zealand and since
that time they have multiplied so
rapidly that they were now shot every
season. During a recent visit to the
islands he had been able to secure
four magnificent specimens.

How to Grow Tall.

A mans organs ard those Of his
bones which are not subjected to pres
sure grow. continuously until he is
forty years old; that is to say, the
heart should become stronger, the ca
pacity Of the lungs increase, and the
brain should develop steadily until
the fourth decade Of life. Also one
should wear a larger hat at the age
of forty than at thirty.
! A man ceases to grow tall, however,
at the beginning of the third decade.
because after that time the downward
pressure exerted by the weight Of the
body while in the erect position COM
presses the vertebrae or small bones
in the spine, the disks of cartilage be-
tween them, the pelvis. and the thigh
bones, and the pressure overcomes
tine natural elasticity Of the disks and
the growth Of these bones. However,
a British scientist contends that were
man a quadruped, and therefore freed
from the downward pressure produced
by his weight upon his spinal column,
he would continue to grow In height
for ten years longer than he does at
present since it has been found that
bones not subjected to compression
increase up to the fourth decade.

In Asia and Africa bamboo joints
are utilized for making receptacles in
great variety. The bamboo in favored
places grows to diameter Of six
inches or more and "joint" from a

PHEASANT TOOK LONG WALK
Remarkable Pedestrian Excursion to
the Credit. of English Bird
In America.

Some years ago wealthy resident
Of our hills stocked his game pre-.
serve with English pheasants. which
have now spread over the country.
The pheasant is a walker. You can
not mistake his tracks, for he puts
one foot neatly down directly in front
of the other, making clean impress
sion, as if he had picked it up again
very carefully. One morning l found
close to the house the end Of pleas
ant trail. Something had evidently
scared him, and he had risen from
the ground, brushing the snow on
both sides with the first flap of his
wings. Curious to see how far he
had walked, put on my pedometer
and followed that trail. 1t led me
through my little swamp, up the hill
through neighbor's yard, across the
road, through spruce hedge, across
the great lawn of big summer estate,
into the woods behind. put on my
snow shoes in the woods and kept on.
The trail finally ceased in brush
heap, where the snow was tracked all
about, and in one place scratched
through the bro''n leaves. That
pheasant had walked exactly one mile
and quarter-a long walk for bird!
And in all that distance there was no
sign that he had stopped to scratch for
food. It was as if he had set out
deliberately to walk to my house. I
could not flatter myself that such was
the case; doubtless some sense Of his
had told him it Vas useless to scratch;
or perhaps he had fled from the
bushes through which he had walked.
But his trail was without a break

simultaneously with the announce
ment that waistcoats for women will
be all the rage this coming winter
every married man dashed out and
bought an extra lock for his ward
robe. The announcement was made at
a recent meeting of women's tailors
in Pittsburg and brought JOY to those
women who for years have envied men
their easy apparel. Attempts to ap
propriate trousers from the sterner
sex have been made from time to time
without much success, but It is ex
pected that women will jump at the
chance to wear the snug-ftting waist
coat. They are to be cut man fashion
with enough room at the neck to show
the cravat, woman having adopted the
latter when soft-collared waists be-
came popular last summer.
