Predicts a Simple ReIiaion.

"When the var is over we are going
to have a simple religion, a religion
without frills," the bishop of Stepney
said, addressing those who took part
in the second procession of prayer and
intercessiOn service arranged by the
Church League for Women's Suffrage
in Hyde Park. "No frills," he added,
pointing, amid laughter, to the frills
on his own sleeves.
1--WE shall want a religion that will
hold us together. We have had a great
deal too much of individualism in re-
ligion. We have had too much of the
olOgy Of the jolly miller who lived on
the banks of the River Dee, who said.
4 care for nobody, no, not I, and no
body cares for me-"
The boys when they came back from
the front would not want mere sing
ing, or billiards. diluted with religious
thought, but something stronger and
firmer, he asserted, and with all his
heart he believed we wanted more re-
ligion, but n real, living, simple relig-

One of the factors in the increasing
cost of living has been the compare.
tive decrease of agriculture as in re
spect to the growth of population. The
beef trust may be an oppressive mo-
nOpOly. but there is no doubt a consid.
cradle of truth in its assertion
that prices have risen partly through
the scarcity of live stock. The move.
ment back to the farm which a cor.
respondent chronicles as taking place
in New England, is n that may well
be initiated elsewhere, says Philadel.
phia Public Ledger. The soil in this
country is still far from being worked
to its capacity, and a much larger mum.
Der Of people. could easily be support.
ed on it. The neglect Of agriculture
during q period of rapid industrial de.
velOpment, to be sure, was natural and
inevitable. But the demand for the
ne%cessaries of life has not reached q
point which should make the supply
of it exceedingly profitable. Here in
the east, too, there are large markets
near at hand-markets ut present sup.
piled at prices beyond the purchasing
power of many customers.

MAKE GLOVES OF EeosHEuL

Many people imagine when an arti-
Gle is cast into the dustbin its days are
ended. This, however, is not 30, for
all the contents of dust carts are care
fully sorted as they are emptied, any,
thing of value being put aside. Dis
regarding things such as scissors,
knives, ETC., many corporations are
making a big profit out Of their dust"
says Philadelphia Inquirer. You
wouldn't think there would be any
value in eggshells, yet every year as
many as 400 tons are required In the
manufacture Of ~so-called kid gloves,
and also in printed calico. Corks, too,
are a valuable item, for they sell to
manufacturers at the rate of nine cents
a pound, and in q year no fewer than
$500, 600 worth are thrown away. Cy-
cles suffer a number of hnrdships be-
fore they reach an absolute end. Old
tires are bought ut quite a good price
by manufacturers for the rubber on
them-inner tubes are especially val.
liable and go to make rubber mats
and cheap rubber toys. The frame
supplies gasfitters with short lengths
of tube, and the rest of the machine
is melted down to make a fresh iron
article.

MADE Big MISTAKE
TRAVELLING MAN "GoT GAY" WITH
THE WRONG MAN.
Meant His Remarks az q Joke, but
Sleepy Individual Whom He Had
Abused Could Not See Il
That Way.

A Columbus travelling man tells Of
an unusual and humorous experiepre
on the road down In south Georgia q
few days ago.
A salesman had been working that
section and found business fine. Cot
ton sales had been good and the folks
had money to buy his commodity and
!. did buy. So, his work over and IN
envelope stuffed with orders mailed in
the post Office, he felt in extraordinary
fine spirits when he boarded the train
to 90 to the next town.
The train started off and the sales
man stood on the back platform, smok-
ing a good cigar and surveying the
scenery with great satisfaction. A
leaning against a post near the track,
a hundred yards or so from the depot.
The train had gathered considerable
momentum and vas going fast when
It passed the post.
The salesman vas In extraordinary
high spirits and his good humor had to
vent itself some way and 1t expressed
itself In this most unusual manner.
When the rapidly-moving train passed
the understanding man the traveller
leaned off the platform, shook his fin
gers in the others face and in the
course of two Of three hilarious Sec
onds gave him his complete industrial
phrases. The travelling man was smil-
ing, and If the citizen had but known
it, his apparently derogatory remarks
were really an expression Of overflow
ing good nature and satisfaction with
the world, but the strengthening man
couldn't SEE anything in it but malice
Of the most astonishing and unexpect-
ed kind. ~ .~~=aYsar3sy~aSaaaEI
To the travelling mans establishment,
the sleepy-lOoking man, galvanized into
life, started down the track ut full
speed after the train, now going quite
fast. 1t was apparently nm unequal
race and the man on the platform was
lightly amused, although admiring the
others pluck and endurance. In two
or three minutes, however, he was sur
prised to find the speed of the train
lessening, and as it did so the runner
made another squirt. In Just a little
bit the train came to q dead stop
the engine always paused to get water
there, although this passenger was, Of
course, of that fact. The
Marathon runner in the rear arrived
in time to jerk the traveller off the plat
form. The classiest kind of fight fol-
lowed, but when the travelling man
managed to climb back on the platform
as the train started off again, he had
two well-blacked eyes and his new suit
was sadly torn, while the gentleman
whom he had decorated with several
titles q quarter mile back down the
track, had found and was utilizing an
other post and seemed in q state of
perfect cOntent.-Mncon Telegraph. {,

Speed Of the Turtle.

The slowness Of the turtle again IN
proved, but he gets there just the
same. While hunting OF Dantz run in
Delmar township, l.. r. Van Horn
found a large mud turtle. He noticed
a steel plate on it's back, which bore
the inscription w. d. G., 4-15-13." 1t
was supposed that these were the ini-
tails of v. d. Gross OF Tyadaghton, and
Van Horn wrote him Il letter.
He replied that he had found the
turtle in Pine creek Mt TyadaghtOn and
put on the plate and turned him loose.
In two years and eve months his tur-
tie has travelled 10 miles. Van Horn
has had a copper plate made with his
initials and address, and he will send
the turtle to some point in the North
Tier and have 1t Observation-Disclosures

Of farmers, viz, 554 who had received
only a rural school education and 1902
who had received a greater amount Of
education, extending on an average,
through two years Of high school.
From this comparison 1t appears that
the better educated farmer is max.
ing an income of TIA per cent greater
than the farmer with less education,
and even after the labor income of the
latter is adjusted to allow for his
smaller size of business, the difference
still amounts to about 40 per cent.
