remarkable Even for Collie.

Many are the stories told OF collies'
sasscity. one of the most remarkable
being the record of one shepherd in
Eglrick, Scotland. What was once the
greet forest of Estrics was this night
only dense sea az mist and fog. The
shepherd in despair exclaimed to his
dog. "Sirrah. my man, they're a away."
He gave no command TO the dog. in
fact he only spoke fer sympathy. But
the sheep dog dashed o9 into the mist.
and The next morning the 500 missing
SHEEP were gathered in and Sirrah
was mounting guard over them. How
the animal got them in the dark was
beyond the comprehension OF the shep-
herd. and he adds: IF all the shep-
herds in the forest had been there they
could not have effected ii with greater
propriety."

MEDICINE MAN NOT A FAKER
According to English Scientist, He
Deals in the Occult, and With
High Moral Intent.

The medicine man, as known TO the
ancients and 10 the aborigines of
America, Africa and other lands, was
no faker or humbug or quack, accord
ing to DR.. Marrett of the University
of Oxford ulngland). In book on
Psychology and FOLKLORE he describes
the Australian bushman's incantations
to drive out of a mans head the crys-
tai that has caused his disease, after
which he produces in his hand a piece
of crystal, apparently out of the suf-
ferer's head.
Neither he nor the patient nor the
patients friends is deceived; they
all know that he has had the crystal
III his hand or UP his sleeve all the
time, and THAT he has been acting
Enthusiastically or symboically through
out the incarnation. The crystal is
a symbol of the mischief within the
head What the medicine man really
does is TO set the good magic Influence
or mama" within himself to combat
the bad mama" affecting his patient.
He, in fact. deals in the occult, but he
does SO with high moral intent. and
has attained TO the. power of so deal
ing only after severe training. involv
ing fasting. isolation and all the other
miseries of a special initiation.

FOR THE SASCTiTY OF THE
MARRIAGE CEREMONY

Rev. DR.. John McElmoylc has
resigned as pastor OF the Elkton
Presbyterian Church, with the de
cision of the highest ecclesiastical
court OF his denomination, the
Presbyterian General Assembly.
unfolding the action many
months ago OF the New Castle
Presbytery in dissolving his pas
toral relation with the Elkton
Church. DR.. McElmoyle, who
was and is supported by nearly
his whole congregation and was
antagonizcd BY his board OF cld-
crs. appealed from the Presby-
terry to the Synod oi Baltimore,
which ovcrrulcd the Prcsbytcry.
The Presbytcry appealed TO the
General Assembly. which rcvcrs-
ed the Synod. For several years
the Elkton church has been rent
by the controversy. which took on
a bitter personal cast.
The ground upon which the
Presbytcry acted in the first in
stance was the marrying scan
dial" which resulted from DR.. Nc.
Elmoylc being foremost IN the
business" which descended upon
Elkton when New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Delaware made tho
union Of clipping couples less easy.
Ills advocates declared that he
was blameless for participating in
great number OF marriages,
when the parties came to him
with the practical command OF the
State OF Maryland that they
should be united. Under rebuke
OF the presbyatery. he publicly
announced that he would marry
no couples unknown 20 him or
not recommended by friends in
whom he had trust and conh-
dencc. That is to say. he would
ignore the order of the sovereign
State OF Maryland TO any minis
ter of the Gospel" etc, and Rev
DR. John McEltnoyle in particu-
lar. to perform the rite OF matri-
mony for \ and b. in manner and
form as required BY the laws OF
the State.
Many clergymen have contend
cd that in effect 4 marriage Ii
ccnse IS 4 command from the
State to any minister to. whom it
is presented to perform a sacra-
ment of his church ON the other
hand many have contended that
the State has no right to direct
how. when or where a minister of
the Gospel shall exercise his &c
clesiastioal functions or carry out
his ordination vows.
4 wise and common-sense COM
ment is made BY the Bclair .Aegis
in referring to the fact that Dr.
McElmoyle has. spent - years in
faithful service to the Elkton CON
gregation. and that Its recent ex-.
haustive statement endorsing his.
record and providing for his.
maintenance viii help to soothe
the feelings Of faithful servant
in his declining years
With no disposition to discuss
the merits of this case, it is plain
to al citizens that our law on the
subject OF marriage deserves
more careful scrutiny than it re-
ceived during the last session OF
our General Assembly. A legal
marriage in Maryland requires
that the contracting parties shall
secure from the State a license
and that the service shall be per-
formed By religious ceremony. i
Further safeguards have been
provided BY adjoining States. and
By reason OF their easy access 10
Iikton It Is a point to which out
siders resort daily Tor their mar
rage and thereby bring into con-
tempt this sacred ceremony. The
time has fully come that Mary

HEALTH IN 2O74 so GOOD
WILL GIVE AVERAGE LIFE
OF 100 YEARS, FORECAST

NEW YORK, November 25.-One
hundred and fifty-three years from
now. or in the year 2074. health
conditions in this country will be
so good that the average person
will live 100 years-according to
several Red Cross statistical ex-
perts.
These statisticians based their
100 years idea on what they called
past passing out performances.
For instance in 1910 in New York
persons died at an average age of
thirty-f1ve and in 1920 they shuffled
along into the next world at an
average age of thirty-nine.
This upward trend Of life. they
claimed, has been in evidence for
many years, available statistics
from the sixteenth century showing
the span OF life to be eighteen. By
the eighteenth century it had
heightened to twenty-eight years.
