GIANT TREES or AUS TRIAL IA

Sheep Driven to Mountains.

Wild sheep live in small focks in
rocky, mountainous parts where food
is sparse. Had they been possessed
Of such means of defense as the heels
and the speed of the horse, or the
horns and the strength of the bison
they would probably have congregated
on the plains where food was plenti-
full AS 1t was. their only protection
from their natural enemies the wolves,
lay in their agility In the most mac
cessible spots. The length of time
sheep have been domesticated is as
nothing compared with the preceding
ages when their home was in the
mountains, consequently coming under
the dominion of man has utterly re-
versed their conditions of life. SO the
growth Of the hoof is out of all pro-
portion to the wear on our soft pas
lures and footrot supervenes. SINH
larly the thick coating of wool which
was absolutely necessary at the aIti-
tudes the wild sheep inhabited, has. as
far as the sheep itself is concerned,
become a nuisance. and rendered It a
prey to ticks and maggots.

SAYS FEW READ THE BIBLE
Writer Criticises the Present Genera
ton for Its Lack of Knowledge
of the Scriptures.

The booksellers story of the woman
who demanded TO know where in the
Bible she could find the story of Da-
mon and Pythias is called 10 MINI by
the recently reported attempt OF Il pro-
fessor at the university TO measure the
Biblical knowledge of his class in Eng
fish literature. The test resulted IN a
rather naive display of ignorance con
corning book which has been called
"the fountain head of English litera-
ture" and which, with Shakespeare,
invariably heads the list of best"
books and gathers more dust than any
other.
There are those who, having made
acquaintance with the Bible in their
own youth, and realizing it's poetry,
history and style, agree with Prof. Dali
las Lore Sharp that we are bible
starved nation" What parent reads
the Bible TO or with the children these
days? They get fairy stories or animal
fables. Even the Sunday-school les
sons are given from a leatiet. The BIZ
Bile has been storyized and expurgated
in the so-called interests of children,
and has shared the usual fate of such
well-meant but unnecessary endeavors.
1t is not without occasion that educa-
tors are discussing the need and the
methods of increasing interest in the
book.
Whether we regard the Bible as a
sacred book, as saga Of the Hebrews,
or as a collection of stories, legends
and historical fact of ancient origin, it
is so thoroughly part of our litera-
ture, which is so abundant in illusions
and references to its content, that not
to know their source and application
is TO argue ones self unread. Youth
ought to be as aware of Moses the
lawgiver as of Hamlet or King Lear

HAD REHEARSAL OF FUNERAL
Curious Notion Held by Spanish Mon

of Germany In the Sixteenth century,
was Il pious ruler Toward the end of
his life he conceived the curious idea
of rehearsing his own funeral, not be
cause he wished to have the event 90
off without hitch when the time
should come but because he thought
the performance of the ceremony
would rebound 10 the credit and WELL
being of his soul in the after-word.
His friends sought to dissuade him,
but, deeming it a holy act, the ruler
went ahead with his preparations. A
catafalque was erected and the serv-
ice performed The high altar, the
catafalque, and the entire church
shone with wax lights; the friars were
all in their proper places and the
household of the emperor attended in
deep mourning "Fhe pious monarch
himself was there. attired IN sable
weeds" according to the moukish his
torian. "and bearing taper, - soc

own ohscquieS." While the mass for
the dead was sung, he came forward
and gave his taper to the officiating
priest as n symbol Of his desire to
yield up his soul Not only once, but
for many wears. until he finally died
In 1858, Charles V performed this
