Ezekiel.

With thy wisdom and with thine under
standing thou hast gotten thee riches, and
gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic
hast thou increased thy riches, and thine
heart is lifted up because of thy riches.
And will save you from all your un
cleannesses: and will call for the corn,
and will increase it, and lay no famine upon
you. And will multiply the fruit of the
tree, and the increase of the field, that ye
shall receive no more reproach of famine
among the heathen.-36, 1880.
Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, have
spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, be-
cause We have borne the shame of the
heather. Therefore thus saith the Lord
God; | have lifted up mine hand. Surely
the heather that aer about you, they shall
bear their shame.-36, 81.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe
to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum
is therein, and whose scum is not gone out
of it! bring it out place by piece; let no lot
fall upon it. For her blood is in the midst
of her; she set it upon the top of rock;
she poured it not upon the ground, to cover
it with dust; that it might cause fury to
come up to take vengeance; have set her
blood upon the top of rock, that it should
not be covered. Therefore thus saith the
Lord God; Woe to the bloody city! I will
even make the pile for fire great.-24, SO.
Not for your sakes do this, saith the
Lord God, be it known unto you be asham-
ed and confound for your own ways, o
house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord God !;
In the day that shall have cleansed you
from all your iniquities I will also cause
you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes
shall be builded. And the desolate land
shall be titled, whereas it lay desolate in
the sight of all that passed by. And they
shall say, This land thatwa desoate is be-
come like the garden of Eden; and the waste
and desolate and ruined cities are become
| fenced and inhabited. Then the heather
that are left round about you shall know
that the Lord build the ruined places, and
plant that was desolate: I the Lord have
spoken it, and I will do it. Thus saith the
Lord God | will yet for this be enquired OF
by the house of Israel, to do it for them
l will increase them with men like aflock.
SO, 32-37.

Trick Of the Lemon Growers.

By an interesting yet simple method
two crops Of lemons are obtained in
Sicily during the year. though the sec
ond is in every way inferior. The
abnormal fruit is known as the Ver-
delli lemon and is marketed during the
summer months. The Verdelli lemon.
green in color, grows contemporaneous-
ly Oil the same trees with the ordinary
or yellow lemon of commerce and is
obtained by the following method: The
lemon tree. which flowers in April, is
kept without water from that period
until July, when the roots are heavily
flooded for time. This results in q
second set of blossoms, from which
will come the Verdelli lemons. The
ordinary lemon crop is picked in the
months beginning with October. but
the Verdelli lemons do not mature
until the next May.-Argonaut.

German BarbarianS.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
has this to say about the German Hessians
who were given free hand by the merci-
less Federal Government to murder and
rob inoffensive Southern citizens and shoot
down unurr7aod Gun foaet oto prioonore of rar
during 1S61-5:
"Inhabitants of the Confederacy who
we're so unfortunate as to be within the
lines of the Union Army, mostly old men,
women and children, many of whom are
still living, can testify to the fact that most
of the cruelties, robberies, home burning
and countless other atrocities imposed
upon them were not by the hands OF native
Americans, but by the unmerciful hords OF
foreigners, hundreds of thousands of whom
emigrated to this country from Germany
and hired themselves to the United States
Government from mercenary motives alone,
not knowing or caring what the war was
about, so that they got their bounty OF
$500 for enlisting in the army, besides their
pay of S12 to Sis month, and pensions
the rest of their lives, the survivors draw
ing them to this day.
"There were whole brigades, divisions
and corps of them, who could not speak a
word of English, under conn 1and of Ger
man generals, such as Schrz, Blenker
Sigel and others, and it was such men as
they who laid waste the beautiful Shenan
doah Valley of Virginia, and many Other
portions Of the South, inflicti ng upon the
unfortunate inhabitants that we're at Their
mercy, all noncombatants, many of the
horrors that have befallen the Belgians a

BRAHMAN CAN NOT EAT MEAT.
Student From India Tells Facts About
His Country.

Manhattan, Kan, March 16.-Fam-
inc in India is attributed more to lack
of funds to purchase grain than to
lack of rainfall by c. V. Sane, a grad
uate student from India, who is study
ing dairying under dry farming con-
ditions. in the Kansas State Agricul-
ture college.
The reason for lack of funds is
deeper than can be observed by those
who are not familiar with the condi-
lions of our country says Mr.. Sane.
when one speaks of the economic
conditions in India he must take into
consideration caste customs, for they
are closely connected with the farm
practices of the country. If l am a
Brahman l cannot raise poultry be-
cause it does not conform to my caste
etiquette. Not only this, 1 cannot eat
meat of any kind, nor can 1 indulge
in alcoholic drinks. 1 cannot do the
former because it means that 1 take
life or, in other words. commit sin,
and ] cannot do the latter because
alcohol makes one a brute"

RUN MOVIE SHOWS
State Should Manage Picture
Business, Says McKeeyer.
Censor Board on Losing End of
the Game.

Lawrence, Kan. March 16.-"Kan-
sas should take over and manage the
motion picture business just as it has
the publication of text books" de-
clared William A. McKeever, head of
the child welfare department of Kan
sas university, in an interview.
1.-The motion picture business is to-
day our greatest educational force"
explained the professor, and yet it is
in the hands of Commentaries, and
no. in the hands of educators where 1t
belongs. A state board of educators
who had full control and mana cement
of motion pictures could, at present
prices. clear million dollars annually
for the school fund and thus raise a
much needed revenue But it could
do vastly more than this. Through
the right selection of films and es-
pecially through the use of films made
to its order by artists with the educa-
tional insight, the state board could
create for its rising generation a new
set of high and enticing ideals.
Cheap Films Shown.
"Our state censorship has done a
but it is placed by the law at the los
ing end of the game. Seventy five
per cent of the films shown in Kansas
today are cheap and mediocre pro-
auctions and about half of them are
depictions of some base crime or 9TH
er form of human depravity. These
shows are breaking down our high
ideals of moral integrity ard Chris
tian citizenship. Thus the thousands
of acts of altruistic suffering. sorrow.
sacrifice and other forms of saintli-
ness-are crowded out of the films,
while theft, murder. robbery, family
brawls. sexual sin and unclea nliness
are played up under veneer of fine
clothes and the glare of bright lights.
Thus, through its subtle influence
in breaking down the ideals Of the
family, of Christian worship and ser
vice, the science of pictures is being
permitted to blast away at the very
Rock OF Ages"

some free and candid opinions con-

She thought the resolutions committee
was simply stupid and frankly said SC.
Added to the humiliation which
Miss Vernon suffered when her pet

refused to help Miss Vernon IN a fight

having passed the resolution, voted Tor
its rejection by the committee and did
not participate in the fight to secure
its adoption by the delegates.
For an hour the members of the
resolutions committee fought over pro-

ADOPT KANSAS MUSIC PLAN.
North Dakota Federation Will Take
I'd Parcel Post Music.

Emporia, Kan, March 16.-The
Kansas plan of teaching music in the
rural schools by parcel post is becom-
ing a model for a number of other
states.
The North Dakota Federation of
Nomen's Clubs. through its chairman.
Mrs. S. A Wilder, has written the
State Normal at Entporia for full in
formation regarding the parcel post
course.
The plan was originated 10y Frank
A Beach, director of the normal
school of music. Realizing the lack
of appreciation of good music among
the boys and girls of rural communi-
ties, Mr.. Beach sent out to rural teach
ers by parcel post a victrola and ten
records of recognized standard music
for school children. A lecture about
each record and full information how
to teach the course is sent with each
set. The popularity of the plan is such
that six sets are required and these
will have to be increased.
The North Dakota Federation is
planning to mother the musical eX-
tension plan in North Dakota.
