WHY THE PASTOR WAS LATE
On the Way to a Wedding He Met a
Deer, and Stopped to Kill
the Animal.
The Rev. H. H. Thomas, pastor of
the Baptist church at Greenwood and
Womley, started to Greenwood to offi
ciate at a wedding, and, says the
Arkansas Gazette, after a six mile
drive from Mount Ida he saw a large
deer chased by a pack of hounds.
The preacher forgot about the wed
ding and followed the deer. He ap
proached the large buck, which came
to him, and they “locked horns." The
deer lost his footing, and so did the
minister, and they went tumbling
down the hillside together.
“I came up on top,” said the preach
er, “and in some way I got my knife
open and cut the deer’s throat, and
while holding to the long, shaggy
horns the deer gave a big leap with
me and jumped into the water, carry
ing me with him. There he died In
a few minutes and I pulled him out,
got a wagon and hauled the deer into
Mount Ida."
The preacher, after being three
hours late, telephoned to Greenwood,
and, buying a new suit of clothes,
served at the wedding of-W. R. Burt
and Miss Lillian Anderson
SAW THINGS IN A h'EW LIGHT
Factory Proprietor Brought to Rea
lize Value of Sanitary Surround
ings for His Workpeople.
Scott Nearing tells in his book, So
cial Religion, about a factory inspec
tor who insisted that the owner of the
factory whitewash the inside of the
building.
“ 'Whitewash this factory,’ stormed
the owner. 'Why, I can’t afford it; it
will cost me $1,500!'
“ ‘You will obey my order, or I’ll
swear out a warrant,’ said the inspec
tor.
“The building was whitewashed. On
his next visit, six months later, the
owner greeted the inspector cordially.
“ ‘You remember the row we had
about the whitewash?’
“ ‘Yes, indeed.’
“ ‘Well, sir, that $1,500 was the best
money I ever laid out. The building
hadn’t been touched for ten years, and
the whitewash makes it look like now.
It is wonderfully cheerful and bright—
and the girls have done so much bet
ter work that I believe I have already
got my money back.' ”
Mr. Nearing’s comment is that every
improvement which makes a more liv
able place pays. It is to be questioned
how many employers and owners of
buildings would accept this statement.
If a large proportion of them would,
the first big advance would be made
toward real social religion. —Buffalo

BEGAN GREAT CAREERS EARLY
English and American Actresses Who
Showed Possession of Genius
When They Were Children.
It has been said that seldom do in
fant stage prodigies fulfill the expecta
tions of the future. As a matter of
fact, however, many of our leading
actresses began their stage careers
when they were children.
Ellen Terry, hr ir , . nee, made her
first appearance in “A Winter’s Tale”
when she was eight; her sister Kate
when she was seven; her niece Be
atrice when she was ten, and another
niece, Minnie, when she was three;
while Marion Terry played Ophelia
when she was seventeen. Winifred
Emery (Mrs. Cyril Maude) made her
first appearance on the stage in "The
Green Bushes” when she was eight,
and gained her first success when ehe
was seventeen.
Referring to American actresses, one
might mention Maud Adams, perhaps
one of the most successful of Mr.
Frohman’s “stars," who first appeared
oh the stage when she was a baby of
nine months old, and was a favorite at
the age of sixteen. Julia Marlowe
made her first appearance, in a juve
nile production of “H. M. S. Pinafore"
when she was twelve; while Maud
Fealy first played when she was three.
AEROPLANE SAFE AS A SHIP
Frenchman Declared to Have Perfect
ed Invention Which Practically
Does Away With Danger.
The Lpuis Le Grand High school,
Paris, France, where President-elect
Poincalre was a pupil, recently gave
a fete in his honor. A branch of the
National Aerial league was inaugurat
ed in the school at the same time, re
lates a cable dispatch.
Rene Quinton, the president of the
league, announced that the automatic
stability of the aeroplane can be re
garded as having been solved by Mo
reau’s invention, the tests of which
had been checked by General Htrsch
auer, the head of the army aviation
department. Moreau, with a passen
ger, had inado a flight of 35 minutes
without touching his levers, except
for ascending and descending. The
wind at the time was blowing 23 feet
a second.*
Moreau has worked for six years on
his invention but has been greatly
impeded by his modest resources. *lle
Is the father of six children and earns
his living by soliciting orders for
printing. His invention depends on
the pendulum principle. The motor is
affixed to the plane itself and the bas
ket containing the pilot Is slung be
low. The wings act as a swing, auto
matically moving the levers, which act
on the planes and correct the effect of
sudden gusts and changes in the wind.
This secures both lateral and longi
tudinal stability.
General Hirschauer’s attention was
attracted to the invention at the last
aeronautic salon and he hopes to se
cure it for the state. ■
ELECTRICITY TO AGE CHEESE
Hollander Announces Complete Sue- 1
cess of Most Important Experl- |
ments He Had Undertaken.
Another use has been found for elec- ■
tricity, that of aging cheese. An in
dustrial electrician of Rotterdam. Hol
land, through a long series of experi
ments found that he could take an
absolutely fresh cheese and in one
day actually "age” it two years. In
other words, by means of electricity
he would make this fresh cheese have •
all the consistency, taste and appear- !
ance of a fine cheese that had been
1 stored away and carefully aged for
two years.
He takes a fresh cheese and sub
jects it to an alternating current. At
the end of twenty-four hours of con
stant alternating electrical currents
through this cheese it. possesses all
I the properties of a fine two-year-old
cheese.
This has naturally aroused great in
terest in Holland, where cheese-mak
ing is one of the big industries. It is
said the electrician claims he can do
many other things with cheese by
means of electricity, including an ap
paratus that, will enable the manu
! facturer to so graduate and direct
: • lectrical action of this nature as to
! Ive cheese any taste desired and any
, consistency that may be needed to
■ rupply the wants of a fastidious mar
ket.
Incendiary Bullet.
Tests have been made in Germany
with a special projectile which is in
tended to repel dirigibles and which is
designed not only to pierce a gas en
velope but also to set fire to the gas.
This projectile, fired from the old
German ride known as “model 71,"
'which has a caliber of 11 millimeters,
is provided with little wings that
open in flight under the influence of
a spring, compressed while the pro
jectile is still in the rille barrel, but
expanded as soon as the muzzle Is
j asßed. An ordinary bullet leaves such
a small hole in an envelope that the
gas escapes through it but slowly. The
wings on the improvel bullet tear a
hole of appreciable size In the fabric.
What is more, they retard the bullet
sufficiently to cause a friction device
to ignite fulminate contained in the
btilldt. It is said that experiments
conducted at Neumannswald gave en
couraging results. —Scientific Amer

Tons of Iron Lost in Rust.
One'large railroad system suffers a
loss of more than eighteen tons of
metal daily, due solely to the effect
of rust. Thus far the only known
preventive is to keep the metal sur
face always covered with a suitable
paint. Some idea of the costliness of
this remedy, however, may be gained
from the fact that it requires about
SIO,OOO annually to paint one large
railway bridge alone. A typical case
of this kind is the Brooklyn bridge,
upon which a corps of painters are
constantly employed, as the weather
makes repainting of one end of this
large structure necessary before the
workers have reached the other. Al
though experiments have demonstrat
ed that pure Iron surrounded by oxy- ’
gen does not rust, and that some acid,
especialy carbonic acid, is necessary
for the production of rust, the secret
of manufacturing rustless steel and
iran remains to be di’"overed.
TRAINED IN HOUSEHOLD WORK
German Institution Teaches Girls
Domestic Service, and Finds Great
Demand for Graduates.
Berlin has an institution, founded
about two years ago by a woman.
The object of the "Sister School," as
it is called, is to train well-educated
girls for domestic service. The stu
dents are generally daughters of pro
fessional men, and the curriculum
comprises cookery, housework, the
care of children, and needlework.
When application is made for the ser
vices of a “sister,” the matron, or
some other woman connected with
the school, calls upon the applicant,
forms an opinion of the "situation,”
and arranges terms. Each “sister”
must be allowed a free afternoon
every week, one Sunday every other
week from four o’clock, and a fort
night's holiday in the year. Six
weeks’ notice is required on each part.
The salaries paid range from $7.50
to $12.50 a month, with, of course,
board and lodging. Sisters wear a
brown uniform, are treated as social
equals, are not required to take
meals with other servants, and are ad
dressed as "Sister Marie,” “Sister
Hedwig,” etc. The demand for their
services Is so great that the head of
the Sister school declares that she
could place 500 girls a year, instead of
50. find similar institutions are about
to be established in other German
towns.
MAKE WAREHOUSE OF CHURCH
Sacred Edifice at Brighton, England,
Has Been Unfortunate Since
Its Erection.
To serve as a cold storage ware
house for meat and eggs—such is the
fate of the beautiful Church of the
i Resurrection at Brighton, England.
■ Built at the expense of the late Rev.
I H. D. Wagner for the accommodation,
: it is said, of the poorer members of ।
the"'congregation, and for those who
preferred a ritual simpler than that of
St. Paul’s church on West street, this
I building first attracted the public at
tention as the subject of a curious law-
I suit. Mr. Wagner planned to build a
remarkably tall church, and the own
! ers of the adjoining property, by
means of a lawsuit, prevented him
i from so doing. Accordingly he caused
deep excavations to be made, and
thus secured the desired internal
height. The Church of the Resurrec
tion proved to boa great expense and
was closed in 1908, being, in the opin
ion of the present vicar of St. Paul’s,
no longer necessary for the purpose for
which it was built. In 1909, after pro
longed opposition on the part of Rev.
' E. F. B, Weber, one of the trustees,
It was sold. Since then it has stood
empty and In disrepair, until the gro
tesque tragedy of its present usage oc.
curred. —The Churchman.
TURNED THE JOKE ON BISHOP
Great Episcopal Churchman Found
That Rabbi Could Give as Good
a Shot as He Got.
Mrs. Champ Clark, who is as well
known for her brilliancy in conversa
• tion as her husband, the speaker of
; the house of representatives, is for
his fame in politics, tells this story:
The late Bishop Potter of New York
had a most unclerical relish for prac
tical jokes and pointed anecdotes. His
cosmopolitan spirit loved men and
things, and nothing pleased him bet
ter than to gather a group of con
genial spirits about him and swap
jokes.
One day he met a friend, a distin
guished Jewish rabbi, and said to him
In great seriousness:
“Rabbi, I am greatly worried about
a dream I had the other night. I
dreamed I died and went to the Jew
ish heaven. And who do you suppose
were the only occupants?”
“I don’t know, I’m sure,” said the
rabbi.
"Pawnbrokers and second-hand
clothing men,” laughed the bishop.
The rabbi said nothing.
Shortly after, however, he met the
bishop. "Why bishop,” he said, “I
had a dream myself the other night.”
’ “Yes,” said the bishop uneasily;
“and what did you dream?”
“I dreamed I went to the Christian
heaven.”
“Well,” pursued Potter, bracing
himself, “who did you find there?”
“Nobody,” answered the rabbi. —

The Ocean Is Dusty.
When the decks of ships are rubbed
and cleaned each morning great quan
tities of dust are invariably found. In
the modern steamship this could be
accounted for by the tons of carbon
which are poured forth daily by the
funnels, but the curious thing is that
the deck of a sailing ship shows a
greater quantity of this material than
that of the steamship. In an Atlantic
• trip, occupying ninety-seven days by
sailing ship, twenty-four barrels of
powder were swept from the deck.

Wealth In Music.
Tn view of its strange influence over
man’s heart and life, it is no wonder
that the greatest minds of all ages
1 have taxed all language to express
their conception of the full value of
1 music. Our education is too gross and
utilitarian. We have made too much
1 of the intellect and too little of the
feelings. No parent has done his full
duty to his child until during the pre
; cious memory years before sixteen he
has given the child’s mind as a pre
cious memory forever the great patri
otic hymns of home and native land,
the folklore hymns of his race, the
great classic hymns that sing of man's
need and the pathos of God’s love, the
i sublimity of immortality and mystery
that lies beyond. For music has full
’ power of pathos and sublimity and can
lift man into the ether of the upper
world, can wash the dust from the
soul’s wings and make it triumphant

Dogs Haul $1,000,000 2,000 Miles.
More than $1,000,000 in gold was
। brought to Seattle, Wash., by the
steamer Mariposa from Cordova, Alas
ka, having been more than two months
in transit from the Iditariod district.
From Iditariod to Chitina, more than
2,000 miles, the gold was hauled on
dog aleds. At Chitina it was placed on
a- train and caught between two snow
slides that tied up waffle more than
a month. During that time the express
j company’B guards, heavily aimed,
watched over the treasure.
