Article 1.
As 1 am offered space in this
paper, and have access to its col¬
umns, I am sure of the fact, that
I can address many readers and
put facts as 1 see them worthy of
our study.
Man
is the subject of this article and
the ones to follow, “What is
man? That thou art mindful of
him.” In order to conclnde
some sound ,truths, 1 will get a
hold of a few idies from The bonk
of books.
1st Creation and 2nd forma¬
tion, enter in too and become the
first ideas in these writings.
Create
is to make something from noth
ing. “God said let us create
man in our own image.” The
created part of man is the inward
chamber, and I shall so deal with
him. 1 want to impress the idea
of creation. The difference be
tween creation and the forma
tion is that God formed man.
the physical man, out of dust.
I say a man formed a brick.
That is, he took created matter,
and formed a brick. A man
formed a stove, out of created
iron. The created man, with
his inward principals, is the oc¬
cupant of the formed man The
created man is marred, and the
imaged is blured since the crea¬
tion of him, which will be hur¬
riedly noticed, as we proceed
with the subject of man. Sm
will be shown as the cause of the
loss in this created being. 1
shall leave the formed man and
let him return to dust, from
whence he came, as he was
formed out of dust. Dust was a
created matter, as iron, as refer¬
red to in my illustration of the
formed stove. As to the physi.
cal man and his senses. It is all
set forth in volumes to which
each studant of the land should
acquaint himself. Because one
of old said, “the greatest study
of man, is man.” But I shall go
into the spiritual relrn of theolo,
gy and write from God’s book.

CORMORANT FISHING.
How tho Voracious Bird id Utilized
by the Japanese.
Catching fish by means of that
voracious, web footed, hook billed
bird, the cormorant, is practiced in
Japan. Philip Beade describes the
process in the Army and Navy
Journal: “Cormorant fishing is
kept up on the river Nagoya. First
a cormorant is caught by covering
the twigs on which the birds are ac¬
customed to alight with birdlime,
on settling upon which they stick
fast. Cormorant fishing always
takes place at night and by torch¬
light. Each cormorant wears at the
base of his neck a ring, made tight
enough to prevent marketable fish
passing below it, at the same time
made loose enough to admit the
smaller fish, which serve as food for
the cormorant. The natives of
Gifu train cormorants to catch fish.
“The birds are lowered from a
boat, one by one, into a stream.
Each great, awkward bird
around its body a cord, having at¬
tached to it at tire middle of the
back a short strip of stiffish whale
hone, to which is looped a thin rein
of spruce fiber twelve feet long and
so far wanting in pliancy as to min¬
imize the chance of entanglement.
The bird is manipulated when in
the water by this rein. The cor¬
morant goes to fishing in the most
energetic manner, diving and duck¬
ing, but is restrained from gulping
down the fish.
“When the fish cormorant is
gorged he swims about in a foolish,
helpless way, with Thereupon his head and the
ewollen neck erect.
Japanese lifts the bird aboard,
forces his bill open with bis left
hand, squeezes out the fish with his
right and starts the tethered crea
ture off on a fresh foray—all this
with such dexterity and quickness
that one expert Japanese can keep
as many as a dozen of these trained
cormorants in hand at once.”
He Used the Dye.
Queen Margherita of Italy was
anxious that her husband, King
Humbert, should follow the exam¬
ple of his father and the fashion
common among elderly Piedmontese
officers and dve his hair. Her
pleadings were in vain. Seeing en¬
treaty was in vain, the queen had
recourse to stratagem. She caused
a quantity of fine hair dye to be
sent from Paris and put in the
king’s dressing room, together with
directions for its use, making, how¬
ever, no allusion to the subject.
The king, too, said nothing, though
he could not fail to see the pig¬
ments.
Now, the queen had a large white
poodle of which she was very fond.
What was her horror a few days
later to see her pet come running
into her room with his snowy locks
all turned to a jet black. King
Umberto had expended the dyes
upon changing the color of the
poodle’s hair! From that day forth
the subject of hair dye was dropped
between the royal couple.
“Not Competence, and Yet Not Want.”
Whittier, in that incomparable
American winter idyl, “Snow
Bound,” introduces a young man as
one of the home fireside group dur¬
ing a period of storm isolation in
this wise:
Born the wild northern hills among,
From whence his yeoman father wrung
By patient toll subsistence scant,
Not competence and yet not want,
He early gained the power to pay
Hlfl cheerful, self reliant way.
The secret of family happiness
and individual independence, even
though the income is small, is found
in these lines. It is a fact of our
state and national history that from
homes and conditions represented
by the words “not competence and
vet not want” the ‘'men who have
done things and the women who
have helped them in the doing have
sprung.—Portland Oregonian.
Unrecorded History.
Brutus was haranguing the citi¬
zens.
“Upon what meat,” he cried—
“upon what meat doth this our
Caesar feed that he is grown so
great ?”
Pausing for a moment for a re¬
ply, he was about to continue, when
a man with a loud voice and flushed
countenance arose in the front row
and observed:
“He eats Quincius & Polonius’
sugar cured hams and bacon, now
on sale at all first class markets.”
This, being a bald advertising
scheme, was not given any promi¬
nence whatever in the reports of
the occasion.—-Chicago Post.
