AN ACTIVE WORKER SENDS IN
ANOTHER LIST.

Dear Sir: I am sending you an
other list of subs, this makes near
ga of hundred l have sent you this
year l believe the Protestants are
at last awake to the great danger
that is overshadowing this nation.
Our forefathers paid the price in
blood for our religious freedom and
we pity the one gallus preacher
who will not place his shoulder to
the wheel to help save his country
from this greast beast that is sapping
the life from our schools and
churches, bought by the blood of their
ancestors. Some are refusing be-
cause of foreign missions, others be-
cause Of politics, and few for the
lack of common sense. May your -lfe
be spared many years to fight our
battles and lead the people as Moses
did the children of Israel.
Your friend,
Auburn, Ga. J. E. WILKINS.

FRANK SKIES EVIDENTLY KEEPS
UP WITH WHAT is GOING ON.

Dear Mr.. Watson: l am sending
you late copy of the Dawson News,
one piece is marked that I thought
you would like to see; but ''La!"
there is dear DR.. Lovett, he will not
like to see it.
Mr. Watson is goes to show what
you have said about Foreign Mis-
sions is every word of it SO, like
everything else you say.
Mr. Watson I see Uncle Jim Par
IRISH occasionally, and lots Of times
I don't see him, but I hear him
around the corner, preaching Tom
Watson: he is certainly a friend to
you, and is always working for the
Jeffs. I certainly want to congratu-
late you on the out come of your
trial, but to my opinion the Pope
ridden dupes will get Alex up enough
money for him to get bill that will
stick yet, he will get grand jury
with the majority Catholics and then
the bill; but Mr.. Watson, your
friends will fire many a gun before
they will Sc the stripes put on your
back; so say that all. With regards
to you and yours, l am,
Your true friend
FRANK SKIES.

horrible thought to me- What is any
worse? They know it is too rotten
for the world to know, and don't
want it to be exposed. Of course we
all know that is why they are trying
to kill our Hon. T. e. w. It's the
truth and they can't hardly stand it.
If their doctrine isn't torment on
earth, don't think there is any such
place on earth.
They worship the almighty dol
lar and other things that are wrong
and they know it, l am surely inter-
ested on this subject. pray to God
that the Catholils will never take our
country, and that yodr life may be
spared for many years. It seems
that it has been through the Provi-
dence of God that your life has been
spared. May His richest blessings
rest upon you and family.
Your sincere friend.

ORIGIN OF THE HARP.
Evolved From the Lyre Of the High
Priest Of Osiris.

Evolved From the Lyre Of the High
Priest Of Osiris.
The history of the piano counts as
day compared to the harp. We have
authentic records that as early as
1900 B. c. the first Tyre was evolved
from the mind OF the high priest OF
Osiris, who inSone of his daily walks
along the banks Of the river Nile found
an empty tortoise shell spanned with
dried ligaments. Happening to strike
1t, he noticed that It gave forth pleas
ing sounds, and he at once made an
instrument on the plan OF the tortoise
she'll
From the Tyre 1t was but an easy
step to the harp. now the most famous
instrument In the world. Milesius, one
of the Phoenician priests, carried II
with him in his conquest to Ireland
and there he planted 1t among the mu.
sic loving Celts in 1860 b. G. The royal
instrument became controlling fea
ture In druidical worship, and the harp
ist or bard ranked with royalty, the
prophet and the priest. The druids
advanced the harp from eleven to thir'
ty-two strings and crowned their ef.
forts In its improvement by the evolu.
ton of che pillar, which has ever since
found universal adoption.
Our modern harp consists Of forty
Ave or forty-seven strings, seven ped
als-one for each note In the octave
and the wonderful instrument shares
with the piano and organ the faculty
of being autonomous--that is to say, 1t
needs no accompaniment and furnishes
both melody and harmony. Miss Lo'
retta De Lone in New York Tribune.

ONE AND ONE MAKE TWO?
Not Always, by Any Means, According
to Sir oliver Lodge.

Not Always, by Any Means, According
to Sir oliver Lodge.
Sir Oliver Lodge has attracted
tremendous amount Of attention by
telling scientists tof whom he is one)
that he believes in Immortality in spite
of science. This is not the first time
he has locked horns with scientific
dogma. In his book, "Modern Prob
lems," he afIirms that one and one
do not always make two. And this Is
the almost frivolous" way he makes
his point:
~ would contend that, whereas the
proposition that one added to one
makes two Is abstractedly beneath
controversy, 1t need not be true for
the addition OF concrete things. 1t is
not true for two globules Of mercury,
for instance, nor for couple Of collld-
ing stars: not true for pint Of water
added to a pint Of oil or yitriol, nor
for nitric oxide added to oxygen, nor
for the ingredients Of an explosive
mixture; not necessarily true. either,
for snakes In cage. or for capital in
vested In business concern, -four
Ishing or otherwise, nor is 1t true, save
in a temporary manner, for a couple
Of trout added to pond Life can
make havoc OF arithmetic
"The moral Of all which is that
propositions can be clear and simple
and sure enough, indeed absolutely
certain. as long as you deal with alb,
stractlons, but that when you come tC
concrete realities and have all the
complexities of the universe behind
you-not only behind but In front and
among and intermlngled with every
simplest thlng-then we perforce step
out OF the realm Of positive dogmatiC
security into the region Of reasonable
and probable inference. the domain Of
pragmatic conviction, Of commonplace
intuition. OF familiar faith"

puNDEROUS SEA ELEPHANTS.
They Have Two Foot Trunks and Flip
pers Tipped With Claws.

That which is believed to be the last
lerd of sea elephants known to exist
IS to be found at Guadalupe island, off
he west coast of Mexico In the herd
there are now only about thirty speci !
mems.
The sea elephant is an important link
In the chain of evolution and is the
largest of all fin footed animals. The
adult male is about twenty-five feet
In length and is about eight feet high
when propped up on his front fiippers
In natural position. These great
bulls weigh from two to three tons
and have trunk, or proboscis, which,
when relaxed, hangs down over the
mouth about two feet. In the end Of
this the nostrils are placed rather wide
apart. and when they breathe their
, whole mass trembles in tiny undula-
lions to the very end.
The fiippers are thick and tipped
with heavy claws. There is tail
about one foot and half long, sepa-
rated horizontally in two divisions.
This tail acts as a propeller, to resist
the huge creature when he comes in
through the breakers He holsts his
back aippers and tail so as to catch
the full sweep of the waves, and then
allows himself to be washed up on the
beach.
Coarse, bristly hair grows sparsely
from the back along the body. and a
tough protecting crust OF flesh reaches
like shield from the lower jaw down
over the chest and round to the back
of the neck. This biblike affair is
natures provision for protection in
time Of battle The male fights vi
ciously in the mating season, and the
chest protector prevents much loss Of
life
Sea elephants live on various kinds
Of small fish and use the trunk to
seize them with Afterward the food
is transferred to the mouth precisely as
elephants manage 1t.

Korea Also Produces Oysters That
Weigh Ten Pounds Each.
While in the orient a correspondent
had occasion to call on friends who
lived near Seoul. the principal city Of
Korea. He tells the following story:
One morning my hostess, while CIV
ing orders for the necessary things
from the market for the day. mention
ed four yards of eggs. accompanied
the steward that day on his marketing
trip, and when the eggs were asked
for the grocer reached down in bar
rel and brought out the end Of a
large straw rope. He measured off the
required length on the counter, Just as
q dry goods store clerk would measure
of cloth, rolled 1t up and put 1t In the
basket without smile. The eggs were
inside Of this hollow straw rope, with
a string tied on the outside Of 1t be-
tween each egg. This effectually pro-
tected the eggs from being broken
while handling
Another day my hostess ordered two
"smaIP' oysters for dinner. This or
der caused me to wonder little, for /
knew that there would be seven to
dine, besides the servants. but when
the oysters arrived all was explained.

pounds. and the other FIVE pounds On

the oysters on the northern side OF
Korea weigh as much as ten pounds

MosBY FLED WITH HIS MEN.
An Attack That Wholly DemOraIized
the Partisan Rangers.

Colonel John s. Mosby, commander
Of the Partisan rangers, who gave
such dashing service in the southern
cause, told of an amusing incident in
which he figured.
In the summer of 1864 when General
Phil Sheridan was in the valley Of the
Shenandoah he found himself much
harassed by Mosby. who was continu-
ally cutting Off his supply trains. An
army cannot fight on an empty stom-
ach, and Mosby knew 1t. One bright
morning Mosby heard that a long sup
ply train was winding its way down
the valley. BY noon the rangers in
their gray uniforms were gathered at
the forks of the valley pike, watching
for the head Of the wagon train to ap-
pear.
Presently cloud of dust was seen
rising far up the road. and as the wind
blew it aside the Confederates caught
sight of a line Of men in blue escorting
a caravan of numbering wagons drawn
by mules. Instantly Mosby gave the
order to run little howitzer up on the
side Of a hill and unlimber it. AS soon
as the gun had opened fire the rest OF
the men were to make cavalry charge
and throw the train into confusion.
The rangers jerked the gun into po
sition and began to swab It ont. Sud
denly the man with the swab gave q
shrill yell, seized the seat OF his panta.
looms and fed down the hill and out
into the road. Almost in the same
moment the other man at the gun
abandoned it. He seemed to be fight
ing at the air as he disappeared over
stone wall.
The suffers wagons were creeping
nearer, and Mosby did not know what
to think Of such extraordinary conduct
He ordered four more men to the gun,
but hardly had they reached 1t when
they, too, yelled, began to beat the air
madly with their hats and took to
fight.
Squirting his horse over the stone
wall, Mosby rode toward the gun, bui
his stay was short. The howitzer stood
Just over hornets nest and those
busy insects We're resenting the intru
sion. They had repelled the invaders
on foot, and now they swarmed OF
Mosby's horse till the maddened ami
NAL tore Off down the pike ON a run
Then they turned their attention Il
the rest Of the troop.
Their attack was so vicious that thu
rangers gave up any idea Of standing
by the gun. They scattered far ant
wide, and 1t was an hour before they
returned. When they did the wagoI
train had safely vanished in the dis
tance. SO the hornets saved the da!

LARGEST KNOWN ICE CAVE.
Wonders Of the Frozen Grotto In the
Dachstein Mountains.

A few years ago some members Of
the Austrian Sociological society dis
covered In the Dachstein mountains
some caverns which are among the
largest In Europe, One OF these grot-
toes, the longitudinal axis OF which is
fully 0500 feet long, moreover turned
out to offer additional interest by its
truly enormous Ice masses and was
found to be the largest known Ice cave

SERVANTS OF ROYALTY.
In England They Arc Supplied by a
Reaular EmpIoyment Agency.

Even royal palaces have their serv-'
ant problems. The general opinion
seems to be that the servants who at
tend upon kings and queens are Of a
race apart, but such is not the impress
sion given by a remarkably frank in
tervlew given in London by registry
agent who has frequently had dealings
with Buckingham palace.
1--WE are held responsible for the peo-
pie we send to the roynl household"
he said, "and we send no one who has
not lived in good houses and has had
at least two years character
"Only British servants are engaged
The men must be between twenty-five
and twenty-eIght years old, and the
women between eighteen and twenty
two.
"The wages are no better, to begin
WITH than In other households. but
there are better allowances-in liveries
and in plain clothes, There is the
chance, too. Of promotion to something
better.
"a head housemald might get $3.50
year, and of course there is a pen
sion for every servant who has served
certain number of years.
"Ten years is generally considered
the minimum time for pension but
when a case of misfortune occurs an
application is made to the king, who
approves a special grant.
"The servants have plenty of work
to do in the palace, but ample leisure
and very good quarters and living
The maids are required to dress alike
in the same colored prints. The state
porters and marshal men are engaged
directly by the king on warrant
"The ordinary household servants
are resident. with the exception Of 9
personal housemaId, who travels will
the royal famlly."-New York Press.
