MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA

Catholics baptized infants and that
was about all they did know of them.
but that was enough for their pur-
pose, and they gave aid, comfort, and,
what was better, cash to the Catholics
for their little church.
The Bishop Thanks n-catholics for
Helping to Build Mission Chapel.
1t was finally built and | went up
to the mission and dedicated it to the
service of God, and took occasion pub
licly to thank the good people who
were not Catholics for the help that
they had SO generously given. l have
been living down here for more than
thirty years and have met a. good
many persons of perhaps little more
than average intelligence who were
members of one of the fifteen vari-
cites of Baptist delusion, and l must
confess that Georgia seems rather
congenial soil for these people.
Il!iteracy Among Georgia Baptists.
We have a population of more than
.2,700,O0, and an illiteracy average Of
20.7 per cent, and not 10000 foreign
ers, and a majority of the state seems
more or less attached to the peculiar
tenets of the Baptist Church. And,
strange to say there seems to be
some relation between illiteracy and
the prominence of Baptist views, for
in the remote country districts, where

you are sure to find very large Bap-
tist element.
Desperate Encounter.
However, let me return to the story
of the desperate encounter between
the Baptists and Wesleyans. The
latter seem to have silenced the for
mer and whether they made a mis-
take in imagining that the Catholics
had or had not aided them, they
showed very friendly disposition
toward the Catholics. Some time
since, during protracted meeting,
the Sunday which was called Moth
ers' Day" came around, and the good
preacher being sick, they asked a
Catholic man (the one whom | met
on the train) to give them a talk. 1t
will ever be my regret that no report
of this sermon reached the press. l
venture to say that no more interest
ing, not to say peculiar, sermon was
ever preached. From a number Of
sources have obtained an account OF
the address.

Catholic Invited by Methodists to
Speak on Mothers Day"
Substantially he said that he was
very glad to speak on the subject,
which made an appeal to every man
in the world; that there was no one
in the world to whom everyone owed
SO much as his mother; that it was
very right and proper that one day
in the year should be set apart in
which from every heart should come
| a tribute of grateful love to mother.
He said that even the greatest men
/ in the world had admitted that all
that was good in them had come from
their mother, for the training of the
child in the early days was in the
hands of the mother. He denounced
those who would neglect their mother
and he said no words could express
his loathing and contempt for the
man who permitted his mother to

Gas Attacks OF Baptists.

The good Methodists suffered
greatly from the gas attacks of the
Baptist preacher, and they seized upon
an effort on the part of the few Cath
,olies in and about the place to. build a
church there, as help in their fight
against the enemy. They knew that

Electric Fowl Picker.

A machine invented by o. G. Rieske
Of Buffalo picks an ordinary fowl
naked in less than five minutes, says
Electrical Experimental. Moreover, no
feathers are scattered. A small cleo.
trio motor turns a suction fan, and
also roller contained within the in
strument itself, the power being trans
mitted by means Of flexible cable.
The roller is hollow and It's outer sur
face is pierced by a number Of Sits
which permit the incoming blast pro-
duced by the fan to pass freely
through 1t.
The top of the instrument Is hooded,
and attached to this hood Is little
rubber roller which rests firmly against
the surface Of the large drumlike
wheel. The feathers Of the fowl,
sucked up against the two rollers. are
plucked by having to squeeze between
the rollers, after which they are blown
to a tank.
A thumb contact permits the hood
to be moved around In its axis, and
thus the relative positions of the two
rollers are adjusted according to the
needs Of each case. The smallest wild
fowl or the biggest turkey may be
plucked with equal ease. A fowl can
readily be picked In the dry state, but
ordinarily it Is scalded.

The first woman physician in the
United States was DR.. Elizabeth
Blackwell, who received the degree
of NJ. D. at Geneva, n. Y, 70 years
ago. Miss Blackwell was q native Of
Bristol, England, but came to the
United States in her youth. When
she was p she determined to become
physician, but her application for
admission was refused by nearly all
of the leading medical colleges Of
the United States and Canada. A
little medical college in Geneva, how
ever, accepted her, and she became
one of the most brilliant students of
the institution. She suffered how
ever, from social ostracism in the
town. as the Geneva hostesses regard
ed her either as insane or wicked.
Miss Blackwell. after finishing her
course, attended medical colleges In
Europe and practiced in several con-
tinental hospitals. She then returned
to New York, where she opened an
infirmary for women and children and
organized a woman's medical college.

Another statue that has been con
veyed by sea and landed safely in
Rome IS the great equestrian one Of
the famous General Colleoni, which
stood on its lefty pedestal in the Cam
Pc of IS. Giovanni @ Paoio. Ruskin
says Of 1t: Il de- not believe there is
a more glorious work Of sculpture e1-
listing in the world" This statue is,
Of course, of bronze. and was mod
eled by the Florentine sculptor and
painter Andrea Terrocchio In 1881. as
sisted by his more famous pupil Leon
ardo do Vinci, Rev. Alexander Rob
ertson writes in the Christian Herald.
After Verrocchfo's death, 1t was cast
In bronze by Leopard.
There is q story told to the effect
that when Leopard had finished his
work. he quarreled with the republic
over It, AS he could not come to a
settlement, he knocked off the horses
head and escaped to Florence. The
republic ordered him to return. but
he refused, saying: " have knocked
off the horses head, 1t is true, but !
can put 1t on again; but II come
to Venice and you take off my head,
you could not put 1t on again" The
republic forgave him, assured him Of
his life and reward, and he returned
and finished his work.

Methods of Testing Seed Corn.

The spring season Is rapidly ad-
vancing and the time will soon come
when we must begin to think abou
planting corn. Let Us insure goot
crop of corn this wear by planting
seed corn of good, strong germina
ton. There are two methods of max
ing the termination test of seed corr
one known US the rag doll methot
and the other the box method. I viii
describe only the rag doll method
since it requires too much space to
| give n outline of both. The rag doll
methoi is the easier and will give
| very satisfactory results if it is kept
| from drying out. To make the rag
doll test proceed as follows: Get some
unbleached muslin and cut into strips
about sixteen inches wide and from
four to five feet long. Wet 1t and lay
1t out on table and with an indeli-
BILE pencil draw line down the cen
ter OF the strip. Leave at least four
inches at the ends, mark the strip
crOssw Sc every three inches. Nun
Der each section and the tester will be
ready to receive the kernels. Moisten
the tester before putting the kernels
upon 1t. Select the seed corn, dis
|'carding all ears apparently unsound,
number each ear and place them
in definite order. From different
places on ear number Ole take out
six kernels and place them in section
number one and six kernels from e4r
number two in section nupnber two
and continue in this matter until every
section is filled. Fold each side OF
the tester over, so that the edges meet
In the middle, press the cloth down
firmly over the kerpels and roll it mp
using corn cob Or some other round
object as core. Tie cor0 or b
rubber band around the middle and
the doll is complete. The dolls
should BE- thoroughly soaked in lake
warm water from two to four hours
then rem wed and allowed to drain.
They sh )uld then be placed where
they can be kept moist and warm. II
the chill is kept Off Of cCrn ii Will
terminate 10 about four days. The
temperature should be 20 degrees. 1t
Is not advisable to soak the dolls
a second time so care must be taken
to prevent them from drying out. A
good way 10 prevent them from dry
ing out Is to wrap in Il piece Of " 9
sacking or put them upright in an
ordinary water bucket and cover them
with aw-t cloth. In either case,
provision must be made for drain
ing off eX less moisture. In about five
days, If tn i, dolls have been kept in Il
temperature of TO degrees the kerues
should b, sprouted sufficiently to
show thei;' fitness for SEED. II any
sample shows weak termination or
has more than one dead kernel, the
ears from which these samples were
taken sho aid be discarded.

Cards In War Service,

Having helped many a soldier
through weary hours in trench and
hospital, playing cards are now being
pressed into active war service, says
the London Chronicle. You may have
noticed the new and neat little cloth
badges On the sleeve of our men from
the front, but possibly have failed to
understand the designs. They are
nothing but the familiar club, spade,
heart and diamond of the playing card.
Under the new scheme regiments are
divided into packs, each company hay
ing its own symbol in a certain color
to serve as an Identification mark, all
other badges being removed before go
ing over the top.

HAS GOOD WORD F0R SNAKE
New Yorker Points Out How Unpopts~
lar Reptile Aids the Farmer In
Growing Crops. q

The pretenslOns of the snake. as a
domestic animal of great value, were
advanced by Allen B. Williams, presi-
dent of the Rentiie Society of Amer
lea, at New York.
The society, of which Mr.. Williams
is the head, middle and end, has IN
dertaken campaign of education on
behalf of the snake, claiming that as
destroyer OF rodents and other small
pests en- the farm he is the friend and
bcnefactOr of man. For the poison
bearing snakes Mr.. Williams holds no
their obliteration from the earth; but
of the nonpoisonous ones he had this
to say at the banquet while you could
have heard pin drop:
''To the lay mind, the idea of the
black or the garter or any one OF
thousand varieties Of harmless snakes
being Of any service to mankind may
appear prepOsterous and unworthy Of
discussion. But the facts are other
wise. The snake has q very impor-
tant bearing on the question Of food
production, a matter which, even since
the signing Of the armlstice, grows
more important daily. The snake Is
the tssmall-pest destroyer of the
American farm. Every person who
kills a nonpoisonous snake might just
as we'll destroy one hundred times the
snakes weight in wheat"
Mr.. Williams proposes that the value
Of the snake be taught hereafter in the
farm schools and agricultural colleges
and says he Intends to become the edl-
tor of publication devoted to snake
conservation and culture. He advo-
Gated the Introduction of q small snake
or two into every household in the
land, saying that the snake, contrary
to popular belief, made an ideal house
hold pet. and in the course of every
year represented many times over e
saving Of his weight in mousetraps,

Curious Coincidence,

The news Of Germanys surrender
came midway between Sunday night
and Monday morning. 1t was on a
Sunday morning that the world heard
of Germany's declaration of war
against Russia. Serbia's answer to
Austria's ultimatum came the previous
Sunday. 1t was on Sunday morning
that we got the news Of the firing Of
the first gun Of our Civil war and 1t
was on Sunday that Lee surrendered
at Appomattox. Later on, the first
hdings of the sinking Of Cervera's feet
at Santiago came on Sunday morning,
as did that Of the signing of the peace
treaty between the United States and
Spain.
