A Voter, in the sense, not simply

There’s a Rreat difference between

Many people make much but have
little; it rocs as last as it comes

We shall just suRRest a few ways
by which those committed to

1. liy School Teachers restoring

the evil powers that Is-, or Is-ing
thrown out of a job some times,

presence of a dissenting Jew or a
narrow-minded Itoman Catholic or
blatant skeptic, set the pace to
the exclusion of the Word of the
<1 od of mankind from all part or
plats- in the day-school, save as its
teachings may Is- emlmdied in the
characters of teachers and pupils.
It is time such a miserable and
paltry surrender to the evil-doer
and the enemy of souls was Is-ing
repented of by the teachers of to
day w ho are party to such things,
and that Hod’s Book, the liest. and
biggest in the world were given
the right of way in the every day
school. And that teacher is Is-
hind the times who does not see in

educators of tIn- day signs of the
Bible’s restoration to its former
place of primacy in the secular
school systems of our land. The
Bible is no sectarian book.

that all under them get in course a
thorough unfolding of the Decalo
gue ( Moral ) Law and its real in

Mount, to know which is reason

Now and then In wanderings through
the mountain and forest one cornea up
on a gigantic blockish brown deer
which by reason of the great length of
Us ycllowlah gray legs stands higher
than a tall horse. It la clothed In
coarse, bristly hair, longest on the neck
mid shoulders, and It has a rather ugly
overhanging nose which distinguishes
it at ouce from all other kinds of deer.
From the throat of the male hangs a
long hair covered appendage known aa
the “bell," and In the fall and winter
ne has also a pair of wldeapreadlng
antlcra. very heavy and much flattened
or “pinmated." lie stalks the forest
through undergrowth and over fallen
trunks like a king of glnnts, or, If
alarmed, lie speeds away at an amaz
ingly swlfl swinging trot and with a
crushing which resembles the sound of
falling trees. Such is the moose, the
largest of all deer, living or extinct.
The moose Is chiefly an animal of the
northern woods, the southern limit of
Its range heltvt the head of Green riv
er, Wyoming. It is also found In
northetn Maine New Hruiiswick,

order to reach the tops of tall saplings

F«r General fleet*.
Of Colonel John C. Hayes, who
served with distinction under General
Winfield Scott -In the Mexican wAir, an
amusing sthry is tokl'hy T. E.'Kfirlsh
In his "Gold Hunters of Califorulu."
Hayes, with bis command, had been
out scouting. On bis return he made
no report to General Scott who sent
for him. General Scott was a verita
ble martinet In enforcing military dis
cipline. After llsyes was seated iu the
commander's headquarters Scott said,
"Colonel Hayes, I have received no re
port of your expedition against the
padre." “I did not think It worth
while,” sold Hayes. "Every officer of
the army Is required to make s full re
port of everything to his superior offi
cer. Please make your report verbal
ly.”
Hayes began by saying that he struck
the padre's trail on a certain day, fol
lowed It for two days, and on the third
dsy, while his command was resting at
noon and taking their siesta, the old
padre came down on them. The “lioyti"
gathered themselves together and whip-
ped the Mexicans off, killing quite a
number of the padre's command. His
own loss was Insignificant—one killed
and three wounded. "Surprised you,
eh?” queried Scott. “Yes; we were not
expecting trim.” "Where were your
pickets'/" "Did not have any."
"What!" shouted General Scotl. "A
colonel In the regular army of the
I’uited Slates go into camp in the
heart of the enemy's country and nev
er place a picket on guard? What
would you do If surprised when
asleep?" "Shoot the (irst man that
waked me up!” was the cool reply.

Probably the largest moose of which
there Is reliable record was shot by
('art Uimglus. the animal painter, in
New Brunswick 111 11)01. This great
beast stood seven feet high at the
shoulders and ttie length of its head
and body together xvas nine feet seven
Inches. Tbe Alaskan moose have the
I aim's t antlers, and one pair from au
animal shot on the Kctnil peninsula
has a spread of seventy-eight and n
half Inches and has thirty-four points.
IVitli the dry skuII to which they are
attached these antlers weigh ninety-
ill ree and a quarter pounds, a weight
which nothing hut an animal of gignn
tie strength could carry at top speed
over the roughest ground and through
thickly wooded country.
In tM* xvinter, when the snow is deep,
the moose, sometimes several families
togethe* 1 will gather In a certain sec
tion of woodland and lie breaking out
l»a<hs for themselves over n space of
perhaps several acres from what is
known ns a "yard," where, if not dis-
turlied. they may stay for xveeks to
gether. But the moose is able to travel
well at all seasons, and even In deep
snow Ids long legs enable him to move
at n pace which astonishes any hunter
who tries to run him down on snow-
shoes.
A wild, free life is the only one on
which a moose can live and thrive, tu
captivity it is much loss nervous than
most deer mid is disposed to he gentle
and affectionate. But. as a rule, it will
live but a short time, even though it
gets the same food which It had iu its
native woods. It may appear to relish
its food, hut it will grow to no great
size and in a short time will probably
die of inflammation of the stomach.
This is one of the noblest wild ani
mals in the world, and it should be giv
en adequate protection throughout Its
range.—Bangor Commercial

Cottonseed Meal for Cows.
As much as five pounds of cotton
seed meal may be fed to milk cow.?
per day In some cases with good re
suits and profit; but, as a rule, the
amount should not be more than one

readily without its being mixed with
other grain or material, but is is much
better to feed It xvlth other grains or
chaffed roughage or sprinkled over the
