English Clergy Take Issue with
Prof. Carver of Harvard on
Thus Subject
DECALOGUE IS MAN'S MAKING
Hence He May Change It Sermon
on Mount Brings Sacred Laws to
Date, Thinks Vicar of the British
Parliament's Church.
London. Prof. Carver's plea, Issued
from Harvard, for the substitution of
a commandment against drunkenness
In place of the one against profanity
in the Decalogue has been deported
here and led to some comment among
churchmen.
A correspondent has talked with
two of them who are leaders of religi
ous thought In this city.
While not agreeing with Prof. Car
ver that the drink evil deserves a
place among the Ten Commandments,
the Rev. N. I. Campbell, pastor of
the City Tomplo and author of "Tho
New Theology," was willing to con
cede that the Commandments were
suscoptlblo of Improvement to meet
modern conditions.
"Indeed, I am convinced," he said,
"that the basis on which human mor
ality rests must be revised. There 1b
no reason why man should not alter
the Decalogue, which was made by
man for man. That utterance now
urgently demands expansion. As gen
erally recognized the Ten Command
ments do not now constitute a com
plete code for human conduct and
morality. All the same I do not agree
with Prof. Carver that drink Is the
most crying evil demanding a special
Commandment."
Canon Hensley Henson, Vicar of St.
Margaret's, Westminster, the official
church of Parliament, and one of the
most noted of England's progressive
churchmen, said:
"Prof. Carver's reason for eliminat
ing the Third Commandment Is uncon
vincing, if what he said has been ade
quately reported hero. It seems to
me also superficial. The Third Com
mandment, Is not a mere Injunction
against heedless profanity. In its
larger significance it means that we
should not bo derelict In contracts of
any nature.
"Evidently the Decalogue was writ
ten for a primitive agricultural com
munity, as witness the reference to
the ox and the ass, which is practical
ly obsolete for present purposes. In
the Sermon on the Mount, however,
we find a construction put on tho De
calogue making It applicable to all
agos and to any circumstances. If
one may have weakness for drink
that Is no reason for the Issue of a
new commandment against that vice.
There Is no occasion for a special in
junction against wine, for, properly
read, the Decalogue as It stands cov
ers every form or vice."
DON'T WANT WAITERS.
Undesirable as Jurors Because of
Tipping Habit.
Chicago. Porters, cabmen and wait
ers are not desirable for Jurors, ac
cording to Jury Commissioner Wil
liam A. Amberg, who testified beforo
the judges who are Investigating al
leged irregularities In the drawing of
venires.
"The Jury commissioners believe
that men who live by accepting tips
are not of a character to make good
Jurors," explained the witness.
Following are others whom the
commissioners Ignore In selecting
veniremen: Actors, because they
have no fixed abode; laborers and for
eign tailors, because, as a rule, not of
sufficient intelligence; bollermakers,
because of defective hearing; saloon
keepers and bartenders, because of
their occupation; peddlers, Junk deal
ers and scavengers, for obvious rea
sons. CHICKEN YARD PICTURES.
Agricultural Department Takes Them
for Educational Purposes.
Ithaca, N. Y. The Department of
Agriculture has had an agent here
taking a series of motion pictures of
tho poultry farm conducted by the
New York State College of Agricul
ture. They were made for educational
purposes, and farming audiences In
many States will see the Cornel hens
strutting about tho poultry yard, stu
dents lugging straw to the hen houses,
disinfecting the pens, filling the feed
hoppers In the poultry range, filling
the lamps In tho Incubators, and doing
all the work of that well-managed sci
entific poultry yard.
The novelty of the picture scheme
will especially interest country fairs,
tt Is thought.

SOD HOUSES.
A Feature of Canadian Prairie Life
Which Does not Mean Poverty.
If you read that a family lives In n
sod house you may conclude that pov
erty compels It; but this Is not true
on the Canadian prairies, whore sod
houses are the advance agent of pros
perity. Tho homesteader who obtains a
slice of that rich wheat land doesn't
wait to build a regular house before
starting to grab riches from the soil.
Even if he were minded to build he
would havo difficulty In doing It, for
there Is no lumber handy. So It Is
better to wait until tho locomotive
catches up.
If you start out from uny of the
towns which are springing up almost
overnight In the fertile stretches of
Saskatchewan or Alberta you will
strike first well ordered farms and
substantial houses, but If you got
away ten miles or more tho sod
houses will begin to appear.
It Is not unusual to boo signs of lux
ury about those sod houses. They aro
comfortable abiding places, cool In
summer and warm In winter.
Status of the Dead-Beat.
No man Is wholly free from oln,
but so many lesser evils are tolerat
ed that a man should hesitate long
before becoming a dead-beat. Crimi
nals aro despised and abhorred, but
to the dead-beat all that Is coming, as
well as the contempt of his fellow
men. There Is something at once so
mean and so little In taking advan
tage of tho confidence which comes
with friendship that tho hand of every
man is turned against a dead-beat as
soon as his reputation Is well estab
lished. Tho dead-beat may fondly
imagine he is living easy and making
money without work, and of course
he takes no account of the confidence
he violates and tho hardships he In
flicts on others. But, that aside, he
really has a harder time than the man
who Is honest and fair. Ho Is com
pelled to move a good deal and peace
of mind he knows not. Like other
types of crooks, he doesn't prosper,
and his finish Is more unpleasant
than tho beginning.
Artificial Coffee In Europe.
Horrible disclosures are made of
methods in common use for the
"manufacture of coffee." It seems
that of factories for that purpose ex
isting in France there are 106 which
turn out 24,000 tons annually, while
there are 568 such establishments In
Austria-Hungary, including 412 for tho
manufacture of coffee from figs, and
In Germany nearly 15,000 hands are
employed In the trade, and the an
nual output is 100,000 tons. It fol
lows that a large quantity of "coffee"
which we drink has not an atom of
the real berry in it. The list of sub
stances out of which It Is manufac
tured Is alarming. Cereals soaked
with beer, brandy, or rum, chestnuts
and horse-chestnuts, haricot beans
and broad beans, carrots, dates, and,
finally, the hard roe of cod. The an
nual output of what Is charmingly
called "fanciful coffee" lor Europe Is
estimated at ovor 257,000 tons. Paris

An Old Man's Lesson.
We met a poor old man to-day who
Is dependent on his relatives, and
they don't like the enforced taBk of
taking care of him. "Had I saved 10
cents a day during my younger years,"
he said, "I would have be;n Independ
ent I might have saved a dollar a
day during all my working career and
not stinted myself In the least." This
old man's experience Is worth think
ing about. The trouble with Ameri
can men is that they waste dimes
while looking for a million dollars.
At the end of life they have neither
the dime nor the million dollars. More
than half the men who dlo are burled
by charity.
Hint for a Groom-Elect.
If a groom-elect has not provided
an extra room to his house for stor
ing his bride's linen he should build
it in time, for these days whenever a
girl marries, her mother closes her
lips grimly, goes after Pa's pocket
book, and does tho right thing with
nine dozen towels, fifteen dozen nap
kins, 'eighty-four pairs of shoots, etc.
She doesn't expect her daughter to
open a hoardlng-houso, but she has
proper pride and Intends to do the
right thing by the girl even if It
breaks Pa.

MIBRO-GINEMATOGRAPH FEAT
Life of Active Microbes Recorded on
Films by Ultra-Microscope
Value to Science Is Immense.
Paris. Jean Commandon, a young
scientist, has succeeded In making
cinematograph records of active mlc
lobes. This feat is deemed of, the
highest importance as it enables their
movements and development to be
carofully watched by regulating the
speed of the cinematograph. He thus
oxplatnB his success:
"It Is due to the use of the ultra
microscope, In which the lighting of
the preparation to be examined Is
done laterally. Infinitely small or
ganisms, seen as dust, are visible
playing in a ray of sunlight because
they are laterally lighted. This meth
od has enabled savants to discover a
great number of new microbes which
are invisible in an ordinary micros
cope, however powerful.
"Tho cinematograph apparatus' Is
attached to the eye piece of the ultra
microscope, and an uncolored drop of
an Infected animal's blood Is placed
between two strips of glass. Focuss
ing is extremely difficult, but when It
is accomplished thirty-two photo
graphs are taken In, n second.
"The magnification obtained after
projection Is from ten to twenty thou
sand diameters. The ultrn-mlcroscope
renders visible objects the size of
which Is one-two-thousandth part of a
millimeter."
ThoBe present at M. Commandon's
demonstration at the Academy of Sci
ence saw trlpanosbmes, which are the
microbes causing sleeping sickness,
as large as eels, rapidity rushing
among the red corpuscles of the blood,
and could see fatty globules, of the di
mension of a micron that is, one
one-thousandth of a millimeter which
form the nutritive part of tho blood.
London. Martin Duncan, who first
combined the use of the microscope
and cinematograph, says of the inven
tion of M. Commandon: "It means a
permanent record of tho movements
of minute organisms, which can after
ward be studied in detail at leisure.
Its value to medical, biological and
bacteriological science can hardly be
exaggerated."
Mr. Duncan's own films Include such
records as the circulation of proto
plasm In a common water weed, the
various stages In a bloodsucking
South American cattle tick's attack,
and the movements of n water flea,
showing the heart actually beating
and the digestive process actually at
work In the transparent body.
CHICAGO "SPORT."
An Ox-Killing Contest from Which
Women Fled.
Chicago. Fully 1,500 persons
watched or started to watch the
beef-drcsslng and goat-catching con
test staged at the Lawndale Baseball
Park. Butch Welsh re-established his
claim to the title of the championship
of the world by killing and dressing
an ox In five and one-half minutes on
a platform erected In front of the
grand stand. The crowd In the grand
stand diminished rapidly as the events
proceeded In the "arena" constructed
In the baseball diamond. Women fled
for the gates at the sight, and later
no less than 500 men and boys rushed
down to Join In the scramble for
goats.
The first ox was led Into the arena
pawing and looking wildly at the
crowd. He was dragged upon a plat
form that had been constructed,
where the matador stood armed with
a hammer, more unconventional than
the weapon used by the Mexican and
Spanish bull-fighters.
The first blow of the hammer failed,
and it took two more before the ox
fell on the platform. After the con
test the carcases were auctioned off
to the assembled butchers, who came
from all over the city and whose en
terprise had provided the entertain
ment. HIS HEART WAS OUT OF PLACE.
Would-Be Suicide Fired Two Bullets
Where It Should Have Been.
Baltimore. Because his heart was
several Inches from the normal posi
tion, John J. Sauer, of Oardenville,
near here, failed In two attempts to
send a bullet through that organ.
Death followed, however, from Inter
nal hemorrhages, one of the bullets
having penetrated his left lung.
When Dr. W. D. Corse was sent for,
shortly after the shooting, ho found
Sauer dead. Two bullet holes were
over the region of his heart, and the
doctor declared that it was Impossi
ble for Mr. Sauer to have fired the
second shot, as the first shot would
surely have bdfen fatal. An autopsy
explained matters.
DI8COVER8 BIG WATERFALL8.
Explorer 8ays Highest One In West

Oshkosh, Wis. Edward Balch Barr,
Oshkosh explorer, who has Just re
turned from Labrador, reports tho dis
covery in the wilderness of that coun
try of n huge waterfall which he Is
confident will prove the highest water
fall on the Western Hemisphere.
The discovery was made while
Barr, with his party, was traveling by
canoe up tho Caster River. This fall
Is said to be larger than Grand Fall,
In Labrador, whloh Is 368 feet high.
Brockville, Canada. A wild doer

DONT MUMBLE YOUR WORDS.
Or Chew Your Cigar At Least Not
When You Aro Dlotatlng.
Before you condemn your stenog
rapher be sure she was not too timid
to Mk for a repetition' of what you said
way down in your throat or with a
cigar tightly clasped In your mouth.
"I once knew a competent young
man who lost his position In a rail
road office," says a writer in the
Bookkeeper, "because the official who
did the dictating gave more attention
to his cigar than he did to his articu
lation. "Then some men havo a habit of
pacing back and forth as they dic
tate. When thoy make the turns or
stand looking out of the window you
can Imagine the result, especially If
they also smoke. Of course the wise
stenographer explains that she failed
to hear and understand, but many are
too timid or foolishly proud to do
this, and thdy are stigmatized as In
competent." Makes Elephant Sausage.
Some time ago an enterprising Ger
man pork butcher contracted for the
carcass of an elephant belonging to
the Ghent Zoological Gardens. The
elephant had become unruly and It
was necessary to have him killed.
The butcher at once proceeded to
transform the huge carcass Into
Frankfort sausages.
According to report he was able to
manufacture no leas than 3,800
pounds, which found a ready sale,
owing to their novel origin. The ele
phant's heart, which weighed 'some
forty pounds, was also sold In slices.
This story Is suggestive of the re
port from Paris that a butcher had
used tho carcass of a Hon for mak
ing "Lyons tmusages."
8elf-Advortlsement.
Crankiness and rantankerousness
In scientists, according to the British
Medical Journal, are due not so much
to conceit as to their high upp! frui
tion of the greatness of science. This
makes the inappreclatlon of the public
so often the scientist's only reward
very bitter to bear. "The hardest
thing for a scientific man to bear Is
the attribution of his discoveries to
men who have come into tho vineyard
at the eleventh hour and received the
reward of his labors. The history t
science is full of examples of such In
justice; they all point the moral that
it is the Inevitable fate of the man
who has not the gift of self-advertisement
to be overlooked."
Friend More Fortunate.
Gen. George H. Harries, commander-in-chief
of the militia of the District
of Columbia, is the busiest centurion
in the land. In addition to being a
soldier, he runs an electric light com
pany and manages a traction com
pany that is the wonder of those who
know what good car service means.
Also, he Is a member or alt commit
tees of civic organizations.
"I met Mrs. Harries Just a few min
utes ago," said one of the general's
friends by way of making talk when
they met
"Fine, I'm very glad to hear It," re
turned the general. "I met her my
self last week."
Strange Foible.
Some men make a vanity of tell
ing their faults; they are the strang
est men In the world; they cannot dis
semble; they own It Is a folly; they
have lost their abundance of advan

them the world they cannot help It;
there Is something In their nature
which abhors Insincerity and con
straint; with many other Insufferable
topics of the same altitude. Swift
High and Low Wages in France.
The highest paid worklngwomen in
France are said to be the cutters of

$1.80 a day. The lowest wage Is 60

France, and the majority of them
earn their own living.
France Is not Singular.
There are persons In France who
