False Gratitude.

Yesterday while on a northbound
Fourteenth street car / witnessed
what might have been a serious ac-
cident. A young lady was evidently
between the two cars. the south
bound having just passed and she
was crossing directly in front OF
the one / was on. when the pas
sengers were startled by the motor
man suddenly putting on the brakes.
I looked forward in time to see
what had happened and heard him
say why lady don't you know
but he never finished the sentence
for this young lady passed de-
liberately on to the sidewalk with
her head tossed in the air at about
an angle OF forty-nve degrees. Now
wasn't that gratitude?-C. w.

Magician Makes Distinction

To the Editer, The washinrton Herald
This is a reply to the letter ~

did y. NJ Holmes wait until Hou-

honor prompted Houdini not to expose
any trick used by a magician. who
claims to do his mysteries purely

County Sunday
School Notes

The coming OF Spring, with wca-
Their more settled and better roads,
enables one to do more work in rural
ncighborhoods which must be reach
cd largely by by-roads. Several Of
the rural Sunday Schools were closed
q part Of the winter, but arc now
being started again. There are sew
era communities where schools could
be organized at once If leaders were
available. This problem of leader
ship is one Of the greatest that con-
fronts the County Association in
their work.
A plan heretofore unused is being
tried at the Bailey school. Each
Sunday, n minister from Alma
goes there, conducts the Sunday
school and delivers a sermon follow
ing. Reys. Anderson, Shoufler, and
Dulfey have done this recently, and
next Sunday the work viii be in
charge of Rev. c. II. Hill. A list
of the Alma members of the Booster
Bunch" is given to each pastor, who
in turn calls on number Of these
young eople TO accompany him and
assist in the services at the rural
school. Some pastors are consider
ing the idea of having his city school
to be responsible for q rural school,
and sending group Of his workers
there each Sunday 20 conduct the
meetings. The administration Of
such plan would not only be benc-
fetal to the rural school, but would
be excellent training in actual work
for those who are thus used.
The singing class at the Sewers
church is progressing nicely. A
good attendance is present each week,
and a commendable interest is being
shown in the work of the class. Aro-
cher class is to be organized next Sat
urday evening at The u. L. church in
North Shade Township. This class
will meet on Saturday evenings until
the surrounding High Schools are
closed, after which q week evening
will be decided upon.
Rev. William Roberts, pastor Of
the Ithaca Presbyterian thlfch has
closed his term Of work as instructor
of Old Testament History ut the
Ithaca High School, the class having
completed the amount Of work pre-
scrbcd by Prof. Grottcnbcrgcr to re-
ceive credit on their High School
course. 1t is hoped that more of this
kind Of work may be done in the
High Schools Of The county next year.

Treat Seed Potatoes
And Stop Big losses

East Lansing, May 11.-That
heavy losses in the Michigan potato
crop, suffered annually through in
roads Of diseases, can be almost en-
tirely eliminated by proper seed
treatment, is the statement Of Dr..
G. II. Coons, plant pathologist at the
Michigan Agricultural College.
Scab, Black Scurf and Black Leg
are the three diseases which levy
heavy toll annually on the state crop.
The diseases are carried to the field
on potato seed which has not been
treated.
This loss is almost entirely pre-
ventable', says Or. Coons. Given
high grade Of seed stock, properly
carried through the winter and pro-
pcrly treated, a perfect stand should
result with normal weather. The
method Of treatment is simple, cheap,
and easy, and it insues not only
a good stand but also good quality"
Potatoes are treated by soaking
them FOR from onc-half to one and
one-half hours in q solution of four
ounces Of corrosive sublimate, dis
solved in thirty gallons Of water.
The solution must be strengthened
from time to time during the treat
ment.
Corrosive sublimatc mercury BIZ
chloride is deadly posion, and the
solution used for dipping is poison.
Every care must be used to prevent
accident.
Detailed information on potato
treatment may be had from county
agriculture ! agents or from the
Botany Department, Michigan Agri-
cultural College, East Lansing.

hence TO the uncnlightened thought,
science, theology, and medicine seem
material. Physical science, scho-
lastic, theology, and material medi-
cine have operated in human con-
seriousness to bclittle God with finite
form and nature, and TO bind man
with the trammels Of matter.
Spiritually considered and there
fore rightly viewed science, theology
and medicine express modes of divine
consciousness, activities Of the di-
vine Mind, or the infinite Principle,
God. To be true, to be Christian,
religion must take into account these
divincly mental modes; human action
based on them is most Christian most
spiritually scientific, hence nearest
right. Christ Jesus, science, his
theology, his medicine, were spiri-
tual and therefore were true. Chris
tian Science, without the limita ions
Of matter, was the Science Of Christ
Jesus; Christian theology without
scholastic dogma was the religion Of
Christ Jesus; Christian healing, with
out materia medca, was the medicine
Of Christ Jesus.
1t will be understood that Chris
tian Science does not come to de-
stroy science, theology, and medicine,
but rather to leaven the human con-
cept Of them. 1t comes to purge
out the old lump. In the leavening
science is shorn Of physical letters,
theology is cleansed Of the miscon-
cepts of creed and dogma, and medi-
cine is relieved Of matter and prop
crly related to Mind. Thus spiri-
tualization Of thought raises the con-
cepts Of science, theology, and medi-
cine to 4 higher basis, reveals them
to be in truth modes Of divine Mind,
and restores them in human con-
sciousness to their rightful place,
from which material theories have
debased them.

Street ClOUer PrOUes
Value 0s Hay Crop

East Lansing, May 11.-Proving
its value as a pasture and hay crop,
and as a soil builder, sweet clover is
rapidly gaining recognition among
Michigan farmers, according to c. H..
Mcgee, Of the Michigan Agricultural
College crops department.
Once classed as a weed, this crop
is now esteemed highly. During the
past season, when June grass was
cut short by the drought, sweet clio
yer produced abundant pasture on a
number Of Michigan farms where OBJ
servations were made by the college
authorities. Tests at the college
experiment station also brought out
the value Of the crop for feeding, it
being shown that stock soon learn to
like it as a pasture.
When properly handled, sweet clo-
YER hay contains practically as much
digcstble protein as other lcgume
hays. AS a soil builder, sweet clo-
yer ranks high. 1t Will produce con-
siderable growth on soils that arc
deficient in available plant food and
organic matter, where alfalfa and
red clover usually fail. It does not
do we'll on acid soils, however.
In securing a stand of sweet clo-
yer, the use Of lime, incubation, and
firm, we'll compacted seed bed
should not be overlooked.
Ample seed of northern grown
sweet clover is available for Michi-
gan farmers at a considerably cheap
or price than now prevails for clover
and alfalfa.

 "He needn't have been afraid of me-" said Cayley
 Then why didn't he call for you He knew you were about. You could have advised htm; Heaven knows he wanted advice. But the whole theory of Marks escape is that he was afraid of you and of everybody else"
 "Yes, I expect you're right" said the key with him, and locked the door at once.'

 You mean that it makes it seem more deliberate?"
 "Yes; that. certainly. But 1t also seems to make Mark out an absolute idiot.
