.swina ,Round the Circle,

Johnson's Swing Round the Circle" was an expression frequently to be met with in the fall of 1866, and was ap- piled to speechmaking tour made by President Johnson about that time. President Johnson left Washington August 2S, 1866, in compliance with a request that he would lay the corner stone of a monument to be erected to Stephen A. Douglas, in Chicago, Sep tember s. He was attended by a dis tinguished party, including several members of his cabinet. General Grant and Admiral F'arragut also were in the party. The route was by way of Philadelphia, New York and Albany. In one of his speeches the President re- ferred to himself as one having swung around the entire circle" of public ser vice, from alderman to President The phrase took" with newspaper report
 CTS, and so came to be generally ap- piled to his tour. Johnsons welcome was mixed, for passions ran high 1T
 those times. The general attitude was
 however, courteous, and even cordial
 In this respect St. Louis contrasteC very favorably with some other large cities. Cleveland, Chicago and Spring | field had extended to him no officia recognition, while at Indianapolis ht was hooted. On the whole, Johnson,
 tour did not strengthen his position ir
 the country, serving, as it did, but tC | intensity the fury of the opposition Detroit News.

Two Eamou, U. s. ships.

Trading along the West Mexico Coast carrying panoeha, hides. bees wax and other freight is the fate of the once proud American gunboat Marblehead.
 The vessel has been sold to Jose Del allave, a Mazatlan ship operator, by the United State Government for a few thousand Mexican dellars. Delal- have has renamed the Marblehead the Agna Prieta.
 Thus passes the old 'pepperbox. 1" Capt. Bowman H. McCalla's ship of Spanish War fame, with proud rec ord of achievement right up to the days of the last Victory Loan drive, when the Marblehead left San Fran cisco as the Navy's Victory Ship"
 The announcement of Coast Guard authorities that the U. s. c. G. cutter Bear probably never will sail into the North again marks a sharp turn in the history of one of the most famous adventure ships flying the American flag.
 After more than twoscore years of battling with ice foes and Arctic gales, the Bear is under orders to make San Diego her base and serve as a train- ing ship for Coast Guard recruits.
 Since the Bear, in charge of Con- mander Schley. later admiral rescued the seven survivors of the Greeley Arctic expedition in 1884, she ha5 been devoted to service in the Northern seas with the Navy, the frontier reve- nue service, and in recent years as part of the Coast Guard fleet.

BAPTISTS CALL CALIFORNIA PASTOR

The Central Baptist church took the unusual action Thursday night of extend ing call to a pastor whom they have never seen or heard and will not see or hear until he comes here to take the passionate, if he accepts the call. It Is the first time a pastor was ever called to the church in this way, but the vote of the church meeting was practically unanimous, 116 to 3, after the committee on new pastor had made unanimous recommendation that the church extend call to Rev. David A. Pitt of Berkeley, Cal
 The call was telegraphed to Rev. Mir. Pitt after the meeting. and it is hoped to have his reply so that it can be an- nounced at the church on Sunday.
 The church meeting Thursday evening was called especially to hear the report of the committee on new pastor which was appointed Jan. 9th. its members be- ing Shepard B. Palmer Charles D. Moves, c. Edward Smith, Mrs c. c. Gill; dersleeve and Mrs. Martha H. c. Mitchell.
 After devotional services conducted by Deacon c. Edward Smith. the chair was taken by Charles D. Moves, president of the board of managers, who called upon Deacon Palmer to make the report for the committee. Deacon Palmer stated that the committee had been at work since it's organization and had had about 25 names before it, but had come to the unanimous conclusion to recommend that the church call Rev. David A. Pitt, now pastor of the Baptist church at Berkeley, Cal, where | he has church of about 500 members Rev. MT. Pitt has been at Berkeley for about eight years, going there from
 Lockport, N. Y. In making that change
 Rev. MT. Pitt had been called to the

or seen him, just as 1t is now proposed to call him here. The proposition to come to Norwich. said Mir. Palmer, has arisen entirely with the Norwich church and Rev. Mir. Pitt has made no effort to make any change in his pastoral charge. but is content to receive call or not on his record in the ministry.
 Mrs. Mitchell, one of the members of the committee, who heard Rev. Mir. Pitt preach in church in San Francisco last summer. long before 1t was known that the Central Baptist church would need to call a new pastor through the resigna- tion of Rev. A.. F. Purkiss last December, was called upon to give her impressions of the man whom the committee recom- mepded.
 These. she described as most favorable, both as to his personality and his pulpit qualifications, from the one sermon she had heard hNm preach She mentioned his wife, who is a charming woman, and they have three boys, the youngest about s and the oldest about Il.
 Deacon Palmer mentioned that Rev MT. Pitt was porn in Ireland, was edu. cated in this country, is 43 years old and obtained his theological education al ! Rochester university Several letters from people in California highly commendini him were read. They brought out tha he had united two Baptist churches sine going to Berkeley. built a new churcl edifce free of debt, is now president O the board of the state convention. is pas tor of the University church at Berkele, and is president of the interdenomina tional ministers association.
 After the meeting voted the call to Rev MT. Pitt. it was voted to place the fur ther arrangements for bringing him here if he accepts the call in the hands of tn board of managers of the church.

RABBIT SKINS VALUABLE. Profitable to Raise Large Species for
 Their Fur

A profit from rabbit keeping some times overlooked is that to be derived from the sale of the skins. At the present time the fur is at it's best. and 1t is desirable that the color should be as even as possible. The New Zea- land Red and the Flemish Giants both have skins desirable from commer- cial standpoint. and they can either be sold, or, where a home industry is possible, they could be made up at home into a number of useful and at tractive articles.
 For using the skins commercially they must be removed whole-that is to say, there must be no incision made as in the ordinary way for dressing the rabbit, and the skin must then be at once placed upon a stretcher. It does not pay to attempt to tan the skins at home. Tanning can be done for 35 cents apiece at the tannery, and the pelt is then ready for use. Driving gauntlets, in these days of universal motoring, should find a ready sale, and with the backs made of fur, they have a fine appearance as well as affordine necessary warmth. Slippers and moo casins can be lined and edged with tho | fur, and it could be used with gooc effect for trimming the ever popular
 sweater coats.-San Francisco Chron. | icle.

GREENWICH RECTOR IS
 LENTEN SERVICE PREACHER

Rev. M George Thompson, D. D.. rec tor of Christ church, Greenwich, Conn, was the preacher at the united lenten ser vices held at Trinity Episcopal church os Thursday evening. pr. Thompson took his text from the first chapter of Acts 24-25 verses And they prayed and said Thou Lord. which knowest the hearts of all men, show these two the one whom Thou hast chosen. to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away that he might go to his own place"
 pr. Thompson spoke as follows: Where does our religion begin? Isn't it on our wills. The forces of good and the forces of evil are at work on our wills and we surrender to one or the other. When our will is surrendered to God then His will and ours become one and the power of Christianity is ours. When the l judgment comes every man goes to his | own place, the wrong man fills the wrong place. Many times q man gets credit | for being a Christian wien he dies not deserve it. But when the uncertainty of | this life is over then evsry man goes to his own place that he has chosen. I The judgment of God is letting the heart l tell which is the choice When we pass | from this world of maRe-belieye to the land of reality than we get what we have l chosen, those who took evil will be award
 ed evil and those who chose Christ will ef 1 to Christ With this in mind we should
 keep our homes pure. In the home tht child is under the guidance of the parents | but when he gets from under parenta discipline he goes to what he loves. Sir l is the great separator of us from Chris l tianity and prevents us from that whici l we meant There is only one success I that of going forward to the best. Cox l gives us such love for the right tha when the soul leaves it will go to it
 own place in the companionship 0 I Christ.

Eur.Rearina Animals Few.

The alarm has, been sounded and the halt called in the destruction of our native birds, and in the whole sale chopping down of our forests. Another source of alarfn is from our fur bearing animals. Some interest ing data on the possibilities of fur farming has been recently given out by the United States Department of Agriculture. The decrease in the sup ply of fur bearing animals in the United States, coupled with q vastly increasing demand for furs leads the government it urge the domestication of these animals and the esta blishment of farms where they may be safe from molestation.
 Muskrats, skunls. foxes and mink are among the animals which can be successfully bred in captivity or under semidomestication.
 Raw fur buyers reports indicate that these animals have decreased approximately 30 per cent. during the last decade. The country is import ing as much fur as it produces with in it's borders. This means that we could sell at home twice as much fuI as we are now producing in addition to the foreign demand. The United | States has become the fur center O. the world Since 1914 the gredtest fun sales in history have been held in thu | larger sales here.-Thrift Magazine.

Grasshopoers in Ice.

Standing in Daisy Pass, the traveller is at the threshold of some of the most interesting wonderlands of the Beartooth, writes A. H. Carhart in the American Forestry Magazine in an article on "The Land of the Bear tooth Perhaps the most curious glacier in the world is found here. In- deed, it can't claim distinction on it's unique feature which would make it an unusual scenic value among many glaciers.
 It is the Grasshopper Glacier and in it's ice it carries thousands of grass hoppers preserved in freezing condi- tion for many, many years and of a species that are now extinct.
 The grasshoppers that have been preserved in this curious manner are of a species that were migratory in habit It is believed that centuries ago, before white men came to this continent. a vast horde of these insects were flying over the mountains at a high altitude when they encounteded a severly cold air current.
 The low temperature killed the grass hoppers or drove them to an alighting and snow of the glacier. The glacier with three smaller ones, lies in huge semicircle extending from the north and coast edge Of Sawtooth Peak tC Granite Peak, making a continuou: stretch of ice over three miles 1T length. The best time to visit tho glacier is late in August, just before i the new snow begins.

s,Nsst Potato Gum.

Every time person licks United States postage stamp he gets taste of sweet potato. The gum on the stamps comes from that vegetable. All of the gum used on the stamps is mixed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing where the stamps are made. It is spread on the sheets after the stamps have been printed.
 In liquid form,the gum is forced up through pipes from the basement, where it is made. These pipes lead to a series of machines consisting of rollers, between which the sheets of stamps are fed one at a time A fine spray of the liquid falls upon the rollers. The sheets with its wet coat ing of sweet potato mucilage passes from the rollers into a long horizontal f1ue filled with hot air. When it comes out at the other end of the f1ue the gum is dry.
 There are two kinds of postage stamr mucilage. If one could see the pack. ages of stamps as they come to the postofice ready to be sold one woult find them labeled. according to season
 summer gum or winter gum Tn. former is much the harder. of the two and was devised to keep the stamp, from getting sticky in warm, mois weather-Detro News, |
