THE FEDERATED CHURCH

We would be very glad indeed if we could in some way convey our interest to those people who do not attend church or sunday school else where, for we have well organized Sunday school and we want all to avail themselves of its services. Our church door is always open to stran- gers and travellers. We are all pill grims travelling on journey through life, and we should seek to be friend ly and help one another for we know not when we may need help and Q friend, so let us get acquainted now. Remember the church is a medium of fellowship. Where Gods people are you will find friends. You are welcome to all our services. There will be no preaching service at the church next Sunday evening, as we will unite with the union baccalaur- cate service at the Normal school.
 Regular services in the morning and young peoples meeting in the evening at TOO P. M.

Garden "sa.s" Appreciated.

Very early In the history of garden vegetables. or garden sass," these things were not looked on so much as food as things to give savOr to food. It was not then understood that one could work and maintain his strength on such light stuff. But the olden people seemed to understand that fruits and vegetables were good medi- cine. and it is true today that garden truck. though much better known than formerly for its food value, Is also well thought of for its medicinal prop critics. Tomatoes are said to be good for the liver, carrots for the complex ion, spinach for many internal trou- bles. onions for the blood, and the value of fruits for keeping the sys- tenn in good condition is universally believed.

Study of "lnstinct."

It is matter of some dispute rust to what extent the actions of ami mals are determined by pure unreason- ing instinct. It has been stated that frog will snap at any small mov' ing object regardless of its char acter. and of hunger or satiety. Some seem to indicate that the frog is capable of greater discrim- nations than has been credited to him. Thus, for example, frog was offered hairy caterpillars. which 1t promptly seized, and with equal promptness spit out again. But after about four to seven such injudicious attempts the frog had learned his les son, and thereafter refused similar fare. In another experiment earth worms were so connected with . source of electricity that the frog re- ceived shock on touching the worm. The frog duly devoured the prey, and showed no sign of discomfort. How ever, he refused for seven days to touch another earthworm. Similar ly, the frog would be taught to avoid worms in which oil of cloves had been spread. although such "doctored" prey was not spit out. but only digested.

erazil,. Opportunity.

Brazil, which Is almost wholly In the tropics. has the opportunity to upset the belief that no people can reach the very highest civilization Tn a tropical climate. The latest census credits Brazil with 3O,5O0,0O0 people, which makes 1t the second American country in point of population. Some medern men of science. most of them British, maintain that when means have been found to utilize the heat of the sun as mechanical energy the tropics will become centers of pro- duction and therefore of civilization If that should be true, what country could match Brazil, with its great re sources of minerals, timber and land and it's great navigable rivers?- Youths Companion.

Just in Time.

While driving through Yellowstone park we came to some muddy, clay like ground. Father happened to see . small shack in from the road and decided to go over to see who lived there. When he was about half way across the field he noticed a slight movement in the ground. Going over he found hole about six inches wide. Bhinking it was an animal hole he got down on his kEees to peer in. We saw . man come running from the hut, waving his arms excitedly. Fa- ther did not hear him because, as he said afterward, he heard low growl- ing in the hole. Then the animal" came out. Tt" jumped up five feet in the air. Fathers animal was a mud geyser. and 1t covered him from head to feet with yellow mud. The man, when he reached father, pointed smilinkly to a sign which read: "Gey- ser No. 127. Spurts every 35 min utes." We have never ceased to tease father about his animal.-Chlcago Tribune.

ARTISTS POSTPONE
 ANNUAL ASSEMBLY Y

Rev. H. Q. Morton, of Phoenix, general missionary and corresponding secretary for the Arizona Baptist Convention, writes The Sun that the convention in annual session at Bis bee voted not to have the summer assembly this year. It was planned to hold it in Flagstaff, in City Park, but the financial situation, Dr. Nor ton writes, is so keen in so many sec tions of the state that from that angle it was deemed inadvisable to hold the assembly this year. He says that he hopes another year may en- able them to carry out their plans for coming here.

Fruit. Once Considered Medicine.

Many articles which we now use as food were formerly eaten as medicine. In the Middle ages strawberries were prescribed as a cure for consumption and ulcers, and long after that Lin naeus described them in his works on botany as remedy for gout. They were also recommended by the phys ickers of old as excellent good to cure the liver, the blood and the spleen" Tn the British isles today, and perhaps in America, thousands of lassies and ladies swear by the strawberry as an aid to the com plexion.

A BEAUTY OF OLD NEW YORK.

II VERYONE who knows New York
L. has seen the famous .Jumel man
sion which crowns the highest point
on Manhattan Island, overlooking the
Harlem river. The woman who ruled
there in better days was one OF the
most fascinating personalities of
American history.
She was born on ship in 1860 and
lost her mother at birth. When the
vessel reached Providence kindly
woman adopted the child and gave her
the homely name Of Eliza Bowen. bet
ter known as Betty. She soon gave
promise Of unusual beauty and MINI
BILE wit. At seventeen she was brought
to New York by former British Off
Ger, and soon became celebrated in
that half world just below society.
Many famous men knew and loved her.
among others Aaron Burr. vice presi-
dent of the United States, and Alexan-
der Hamilton, first secretary of the
treasury. Bad feeling had existed be-
tween the men. This was accentuated
by their doule courtship. and Burr
challenged Hamilton to Il duel, killing
his man on WeelaWkcn heights July
II, 1904.
That same year Betty married
Stephen Jumel, a wealthy French wine
merchant, and bought the mansion
which was to be made famous by her
name. But society looked askance at
her and she went to Paris. Napoleon
was then at the height of his power.
She gained access To the court and be-
came one of the brilliant figures Of
Partisan life. Even ,Jumers great for
tune dwindled. She returned to Amer
lea with him and by her skill helped
him to gain new riches. Society not
only accepted her. but paid her court.
Jumel died in an accident in 1890.
Three years later Aaron Burr returned
TO America from wanderings abroad
following his famous trial for treason
He resumed his law practice and be-
gan to shine forth with the brillance
Of forty years before that NTme JumeI
remembered. They met again, and were
married. He was seventy-five and she
sixty-one. But in ten days they quar-
relied and he left her. A reconciliation
ensued. then another quarrel, and Burr
died alone on Staten Island not long
afterward.
But Nine. Jumels capacity to drain
the cup of life was not vet extinct.
In 1858 she went to Paris, was roy
ally entertained by Napoleon III, and
at her advanced age conceived the
idea she really was queen. Back
she came to her mansion and lived in
semi-royal state. She lived until
July 16, 1865.

THE OPERA STAR WHO 'VAMPED
A NATION.

XXIE ARE accustomed to somewhat
w eNtrayagant stories about opera
stars. and put these down TO "tempera
ment." But the maudeSt escapadeS
of our most privileged artists would
seem mild compared to those of Mad
enoiselie La Maupin. who reigned at
the Paris opera in the latter days Of
the Seventeenth century.
La Maupin was a child of genius. if
one ever lived. Beautiful, talented,
and thoroughly willing to use her
charms. she may be said to have
"yamped' The nation, doing with 1t as
she pleased. In her youth, when still
nobody. she was married to pro-
sale husband whom she soon left for
handsome fencing master. He taught
her to fence, and she became one of
the best swordsmen in France.
"Swordsmen" is used advisedly, for she
always fought as man.
In her male role La Maupin went to
Marseilles. There she wooed and won
handsome young lady of the town.
Then, like any gallant, she eloped with
the damsel. The girls father pursued,
just as he should have done, according
to all the stories. La Maupin found
herself so hard pressed that she took
refuge in Il convent with the girl.
Church property was then Il sanctu-
airy. But La Maupn must get away
again. and that promised to be diff
cult. So she fired the convent, and
fed In the excitement. The father
still pursued her. She was caught,
the girl rescued, and La Maupin SEN
fenced to the stake. She "yamped"
her jailer and escaped.
Back ut the Paris opera. the capital
took her to its bosom and the city rang
with her exploits. The decree Of burn
ing was forgotten. La Maupin had ris-
en- above the law. Her most famous
achievement took place at ball where
she appeared In male clothing. And
like rude cavalier, she offended a
woman. A man friend of the woman
Invited La Maupin outside. She ran
him through the body. Another man
followed, and died on her sword. Then
third came. and met the same end.
Her friendship with ministers and
powerful men OF the times made her
person to be feared and courted.
She dispensed favors as her whimsi.
cal will dictated. The elector Of Bavar-
Ia carried her of to Brussels. but she
had not been there long when he sent
her a purse by the hand Of q man
whose wife had just taken the electors

pin start for Paris.
La Maupin died in 1907 at the age.
Of thirty-three.

Safe Retreat.

Texas cattle have Il most annoyin-,

ata). This insect pest attacks the
heels of cattle and deposits her eggs
Just at the back edge of the hoot
Later on the eggs emerge as grubs
out through the cows back. The grub
leaves a hole in the hide where it
works ont, which remains there al
ways. There is n safe retreat from
this persistent singing fly, and well
the cattle know that if they step down
into the waters Of SOME brook or pond
the heel fly will be forced to buzz to
other quarters in search Of her curious
Incubator. Is it any wonder that they
