CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLATE
How the Spirit of Giving Was Mani
tested in the Churches Hun
dred Years Ago.

Fresh-laid eggs are frequently de-
posted on the contribution plate in
some of the backwoods Episcopal
churches of the South. Which goes
to show that the spirit of giving hasn't
changed so very much in the hundred
years or so of the Church Missionary
society. The first report Of the So
ciety dated May 80, 1923, was dug up
the other day, and while it shows no
contribution Of eggs, a score Of other
articles of merchandise seem to have
found their way to the plate from the
people who gave according to their
means" This report, for instance,
shows that back in 1921 David Sneth-
an gave a basket of groceries for the
support Of the missionaries; Stephen
North contributed a medicine chest;
William Rawland, a crOss5cut saw;
Joe and John Needles, two sleeves; S.
Massey, a coffee mill John and T.
Gully contributed. alas, a singularly
empty gift-a safe. John Burson
came along with tub, whether bath
Or wash is not stated. G. Buckley is
credited on the books with deduction
on hat" $50; John McAllister do
mates a thermometer. Among other
miscelanies are hymn books, states,
spades, shoes, trousers, chairs, soap,
brides and locks. Finally from one
Richard Markall there is a hogshead
of tobacco, which encourages the hope
that some good missionary Of the
church in his lonely station afar off
enjoyed a comfortable smoke, says the
publicity department of the Protestant
Episcopal church.

Vaccfnatinq Sugar Cane.

The vaccination or incubation OF
plants in the bitterly waged fight
against their diseases WIFI appeal as
a novel idea to many who have al
ways thought of the method in con-
nection with the prevention of human
and animal maladies only. A measure
of success has attended it's use by the
office of foreign seed and plant intro
ductiOn, Washington, D. c., reports
Popular Mechanics. in the evolution
Of variety of sugar cane which will
be immune to the commoner forms
of disease peculiar to the plant, and
especially the sO-called mosaic dis
ease. which has recently made It's APP
pearance on the sugar plantations.
Seedlings from the inoculated speci-
mems wifi be tested for immunity, and
if the experiment is the success it
is hoped 1T will he it is thought that
a practically disease-proof variety of
plant will be evolved.

Bust Shows Two Natures.

The United Service club is one of
LondOn's famous clubs in Pail Mall
for officers of the twin British serv-
ices, the navy and the army. Busts
Of naval and military heroes adorn the
hail. The duke of Wellington with
his stately and aristocratic look gazes
down on members as they pass
through the main entrance. Honesty.
pride and dignity are written there.
But a head of Lord Nelson at the
side is more interesting. Each side
of the face is modelled differently, so
that the impression of man of the
world is given as you look at the por-
trait from the left, and of a dreamer
as you look at it from the right. In
the one case the modelling is firm. in
the other soft. Even the eyes, for both
are shown, are different. The bust is
a replica by the famous English artist,
Flaxman, the original of which is in
possession of the family Christian
Science Monitor.

Ancient ENGLISH Food Laws.

There were pure food laws in Eng
land as long ago as the year 1881,
and those who violated them received
punishment to fit the crime.
The Guildhall librarian has been ex-
ploring an old box Of parchmeHts de-
posted long ago with the corporation
by the POulterS company.
Habits are long-lived in the city.
Poultry has been sold since the mild
die of the Fourteenth century at Lead

a bird to take home in the evening.
But nowadays IA goose costs more
than SiXpence. On the other hand, a
poufterer who unEEuckily sells bad pig

while the pigeons ARE burned under

HORSE A PRACTICAL JOKER
South American Physician Tells Of
Quadruped With Well-DeveIeped
Sense of Humor.

Have horses a sense of humor? A
South American doctor has one which
is said to- be fond OF q practical joke
Visiting farmhouse, the doctor
tied the animal to a post near which
hung a rope attached to a large bell,
used as a dinner signal for the work
men. Then he went in 10 see his pa
tent
A few minutes later the bell rang
violently. The doctor looked out, but
could see nothing. Again the bell
rang. At the third ring the doctor
concealed himself behind a tree in
the yard, and kept watch on the bell
rope.
Then, to his asfOnishment, he saw
his horse lift up his head, seize the
rope between its teeth and give it a
violent pull After that the docbar
sprang out and faced the ANIMAL
which put on a fOOk of complete i1sRo-
cence.
POking his rose into basket in
which a cat lay 'curled up, the same
horse got Il nasty scratch from pussy
for his pains. The animal, taking
careful aim, Kicked the cat and basket

A county conference of over 800
people held in Cumberland, Barron
county, last week, concentrated it's
efforts upon the establishment of a

work and the appointment of COM
mittee in each town to try to stimu

Being True to Ones Self.

Following is from "The Simple
Truth" by Ernest c. Wilson:
at is sometimes taught that life is
not for happiness but for experience
and that he who aspires to happiness
seeks in vain. Sometimes, too, just
the reverse of this ACCOMPLISHMENT lis
impressed upon the students mind {;
that happiness is the true goal of life,
and that jubiIance is the first duty Of
the aspiring soul. If we conceive ex-
perience as q means of Self-unfOld-
ment, and happiness to mean, not
abandonment, bat allegiance to that
which is best in us, the two state
ments are reconciled, and express a
truth. The soul's highest duty and
greatest pleasure are one, and both
are fulfilled when man is true to him.

Robin Uses Lace Nest

When our women folks went to
take in the wash they were surprised
to find that some choice lace that had
been placed on the line was missing.
Later they observed a robin sitting on
the line with his gaze directed TO a
garment to which he soon flew and
began to pull at part of it. Know
ing that pair of robins had built a
nest in the tree nearby, the folks
thought that perhaps the birds had
taken the lace into their nest. Inves-
tigation proved this to be correct, as
the lace formed a part Of the nest
walls. After the robins were done
with the nest the lace was recovered,
but in hardly good conditional.

The Healthy Eskimo

1t is said that the Eskimos of the
remotest north are the healthiest peo-
pie you can find anywhere. Contact
with white folks has, however,
brought deterioration and demoraliza-
ton. The influence of civilization has
been bad, and may be worse; ii may
even result In the extinction of the
hardy race. Only when they are left
wholly to their own devices are the
Eskimos healthy and this is indeed
remarkable, for their devices are few
and the hardships of their lives are
many.

COURT ROOM TURNED
 INTO STORAGE VAULT

For the first time in the history Of the court house the janitors yester day were unable to sweep and dust the court room of. Judge Stanford. When they approached the court room at 5 o'clock they were sur prised to find all doors locked. the front doors with a pair of handcuffs placed through staples.
 The court room was locked because the exhibits in the case of the state against Albert McCreary, charged with arson, which went to trial yes- terday afternoon, were stored in it until court convenes Monday morn ing. The exhibits consist of nearly a wagon load of all manner of garage and carpenter tools and after the close of court yesterday afternoon they had to be left in the room be- cause the vault in the superior clerk s office is already filled.
 McCreary is charged with setting fire to and burning a garage, with living quarters attached. at the cor ner' of Orange and McDowell roads on Sunday night, May 29. It is the contention of the state that McCreary removed a number of tools and household articles from the place be- fore the fire.
 The case will be continued Mon day morning at 9:30 o'clock.
