Eminent Men Who Have Occupied the
Pulpit of "Spurgeon's Taher.
nacie," London, England.

Commenting on DIR. A. @. Dixon's
resignation Of the pastorate Of the
Metropolitan tabernacle. London, which
will probably be known to the end of
time as "Spurgeon's tabernacle" a
writer in the London Christian World
refers to some Of the eminent men who
have occupied that pulpit in the past
Benjamin Reach, John Gill, John Rip
pom, and others-and gives the follow
ing interesting incident: Coming to
more recent days, it is just thirty years
ago since a trustee Of the tabernacle
spoke to Spurgeon about an American
preacher named Dixon. who had
spoken at the worlds Sunday-schoOl
convention. Spurgeon at once invited
him to speak at the tabernacle. It Is
interesting to recall the fact that they
might easily have been associated long
before. DR.. Dixon's father, who sus-
tanned pastorate of nearly 60 years
In a church in a wood, In front of
which he is buried. thought Spurgeon
was the greatest preacher since Paul.
He longed for his son to have course
Of study at Spurgeon's college. Young
Dixon sent In his application. Spur
geon's reply was: my dear sir, you
can flnd institutions in your own coun-
try better adapted to your case. Please
accept this as final." OF course, it was
in that way that the great preacher
tested the persistence Of his candidates.
A. G. Dixon took him at his word, and
never applied again. He was, however.
destined to more than fulfil his ia
theirs desires, and following men like
Spurgeon. and A. G. Brown, he has
thoroughly maintained the tabernacle's
great traditions"

developed dried apple sculpture with
remarkable results.

to model their quaint and weather.

DDS of sculpture, bur the results did
not satisfy her, One evening, while
cutting apples to dry them for the fl
ture. she picked up piece of par
italy dried apple and noted its strik-
ing resemblance to the wrinkled face
of the usual elderly mOuntaineers
whom she was endeavoring to por
tray.
Taking up sharp knife. she did
little cutting so as to fashion thu
wrinkled apple into human face. Th'
outcome was most successful she saw
possibilities in this newly discovered
art: and she set to work experiment

Miss Million has found a satisfac-

Use Of Metals in the War.

A German expert has been compil-
ing some statistics Of the use of metals
In the war. He says that If the iron
ana steel used by Germany alone in
IS months of war were forged into a
ring which went round the equator,
each meter would weigh 80 hundred
weight. IF the mass of metal were
made into a wall along the battle
fronts--or $500 miles--a yard high
and a yard thick, each yard would
weigh 200 hundredweight. Germany
sent to the front every week more
guns than were used in the whole of
the Franco-Prussian war. Twenty-four
hours consumed more than did the
whole of the earlier war. The moral
he draws is that such things were only
possible because Germany had been
wise enough before the war to con.
quer the worlds markets and oust her
enemies.

CHANCE FOR COAL EXCHANGE
Britain Has Too Much Anthracite and
New York. Has = surplus Of
eituminoua

In England the coal controller
IL trying to induce the people to burn
anthracite in place Of bituminous coal.
He offers to exchange two tons Of
large anthracite for every ton Of bi-
luminous coal that consumers have on
hand. In the eastern United States
the fuel administration has been try
ing to get consumers to use bituminOus
coal in place Of anthracite. Welsh
anthracite mines are operating on part
time, while English and Welsh btu
minous coal mines are working over
time. says the New York Commercial.
This would be fine chance for ex-
change of products II shipping We're
available, and it soon will be. New
York city needs anthracite and can get
a surplus of bituminous coal Eng.
land needs the latter and can spare
the former. In England most Of the
people do not know how to burn an
thracite. New Workers. are ignorant
of the way to use bituminous coal. The
English persist In using open CRATES
for heating rooms, and find 1t hard
to make anthracite burn in them. In
New York the open CRATE Is found only
In the homes of the wealthy. Eng
land shivers with plenty of anthracite
in sight while New York Is threat
ened with famine of domestic sizes
Of anthracite. Each regards the
other as pig-headed because neither
knows how to use the fuel available.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

"Hous~ early, hatch early, lay early,
are the keynotes Of success in poultry
raising" said John L. Prehn, extern
sion poultry husbandmah of the de-
partment of agriculture and the extern
sion division of the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
"At this season of the year the main
and fundamental point is to have all
strong, vigorous, well matured pullets
housed in their winter quarters. The
reason for this Is that they may be-
come accustomed to their new quarters
and to each other before they start
laying. Moving birds from one place
to another has tendency to stop or
retard the egg yield. Early housing
means early laying. Early laying
means more profits and early fall lay
ing means early spring Matching. 1t is
the early Matched pullet that pays. It
Is the early housed pullet that lays.
In placing those pfillets in their win
ter quarters the last general culling
should be done for the winter.
"If this general idea is followed for
n period of years." said Mr. Prehn.
"the profits viii increase very materi.

keep In mind the adage. house early

this fashion: II have often felt like

Stamp Collectors Will Be
Kept Busy Gathering Many
Issues the Result of War

The war has brought about great
changes 10 the world OF stamps. .And
stamps themselves have been changed
in appearance.
Practically all of our colonies had
their stamps overprinted with the
words such as ''War Tax" "War
Stamp" "Red Cross" or just the one
word, "War."
Our expeditiOnary forces. too, did
not forget to announce their possess
sion Of conquered country by over
printing the local stamps with "Under
British Occupation" In other cases
the ordinary stamps have been used
with the name of the new possession
printed on them.
These changes are plentiful enough
to fill book which has just been COM
piled under the title STAMP COllec-
lions for War Museums"
1t gives splendid idea Of what has
been done all over the world in the
way of war stamps. including pictures
of remarkable issue printed entirely
on typewriter. These belong to the
Island of Chustan, OFF China, which
was occupied by the British in 1916.
That each stamp had to be typed
meant much work. and the issue was.
of course, quite small, SO the value to
collectors of each one will soon be
large.

tor will be proud to possess is the one
