count Of the bad taste to the water. on
account Of the dry weather recently,
water is a scarce article in the com
munity and all the hoUseholders in the
little village-were using great economy
in the use of their water supply.
Mr.. Kyle was forced to try and use
the water from his discarded well for
his live stock. On drawing the water
II showed a great deal OF grease and
had strong smell OF oil. Leaving 2
bucket OF this water standing for a
short time the oil was seen for a depth
OF four inches on top OF the water.
This oil was skinned of and run
through a rustic process of refinement
which when ignited burned brightly.

and was exhibited TO the citizens. En-
perts say that there is undoubtedly
oil on the Kyle property and steps

London. Sept. 95.-COntrary to reports
that have been circulated here and in
the United States, Berlin is not demoral-
lied and panic-stricken by the war. ac-
cording to Philip H. Wood. an American
who has just reached London from the
German capital.
In Berlin conditions are almost normal,
Mr.. Wood said. and things are going on
with little change. There is little excite

Life is going on practically the same
as usual" he said. There is no more
difference than there is in London. The
price OF food is the same as before the
war: the cafes are all open and have
their bands playing: there are almost as
many concerts. many OF the theaters
still have fun houses, and save for the
suppressed excitement there is very lit-
tie to show that Germany is in a state
OF war. l never saw any refugees"
Mr.. Wood was told by several authori-
ties that there is enough food already in
the country 10 last for eighteen months.
There was also optimism as to the re-
suit OF the war.

The general view" said Mr.. Wood.
was that if the Germans don't win they
will make 1t a draw. They are satisfied
that their army can never be beaten.
and that the most the allies can hope for
is a stale-mate. Even if they have to
retreat from France. they are confident
that they will be able to defend their own
country for an indefinite time.

sidered the possibility OF defeat. and one

Mr.. Wood found considerable bitterness
against England. and he was rarely sue

that England was fighting Prussian

pie.

One of the chief reasons for Myrtle

that she wrote Systematically and regu-

The two women whose names stand at

thusiast in the seventeenth century in
England. She was born in l64O of hum
BILE Yorkshire parentage and might have
lived and died in obscurity II it had not
been for a severe illness which she ex-
perienCed when she was twelve years
old.
Nowadays the case of Martha Hatfield
would have been one for physicians and
nurses But IN 1852 her strange condi-
ton OF trance was ascribed to spiritual
agents rather than to disease. For
seventeen days she lay in sort Of
stupor broken only by the utterance OF
religious sayings. These utterances were
all carefully taken down and were pub
lished soon after in a book called The
Wise Virgin. or the Wonderful Nara
ton of the Hand of God" This hook
was exceedingly popular and was read
eagerly by a very larEe portion Of the
poorer people of England at a time when
very few books were in c!rcula tion. Mar
tha Hatfield came to be known through
out the length and breadth OF England
and was popularity alluded to as the

her popular novel. Lavender and Old

chose the name Myrtle. because, said
he, she is surely going to be literary
