There Is the milk grotto, in which Joseph and Mary aro said to have concealed themselves before their flight Into Egypt to escape the evil designs of Herod. The snowy whiteness of the soft chalk out of which it Is hewn Is ascribed to the spilling of a few drops of the Virgin's milk when she nursed the infant Jesus. Another grotto is pointed out as that in which St Jeronio for iuore than thirty years led the life of a hermit when bitter factional dissensions had forced him to leave Rome. On a western hill a rock 6trewn plateau, around which stately terebinths stand guard, marks n place where the ancient Hebrews brought their sacrifices unto the Lord.: It is a solemn place, well fitted to eiclte devout thoughts a place where a man might well keep communion with his Maker, In its broader features Bethlehem Is almost unchanged since the days of David.

Vewetabl Itannrta. - Those who would like to make cheese on a very small scale are. of ten troubled to get proper rennet to produce coagulation of the milk. A scientist says that If tho leaves of the common buttcrwort are placed In a strainer and the milk fresh from the cow Is poured over It the milk will soon become thick and has a most delicious flavor. The yellow liedfitraw also possesses tho properties of curdling milk, and the natives of Cheshire prefer it as a rennet to all other sorts. The leaves and flowers are put In the strainer, and the milk is slowly poured over thorn. Tho flower heads of the garden artichoke alio possess the property of coagulating milk. In view of the carelessness sometimes noted In people who prepare rennet In tho ordinary fashion this vegetable rennet Is worthy of attention. The leaves, properly cleaned and prepared, would bo very much safer
and more hygienic than animal eulstances which may go through chem
ical changes that unfit them for food.

Robert Cline, superintendent of con
struction of the Central Union Tele
phone Company, in an interview last
evening, stated why his company
would refuse to accept a contract which contained a rate clause.
I am anxious that the public will
not think that my action before the council committee and the board of public works this afternoon was arbitrary. The Central Union Telephone Company has never accepted a franchise or a contract that contained a
rate clause and the company will not make an exception to this rule in the case ot the City of Richmond," said Mr. Cline. "The contract we submitted to this city was fair in every particular, but Mr. Gardner saw fit to strike out the clause concerning rates that we had embodied in the contract and substitute one that set a maximum rate. "You can state," continued Mr. Cline, "that the amended contract submitted to us yesterday by Mr. Gardner will never be accepted. If the board of public works signs the original contract, signed by the president of our company, which was offered to them, we will build underground. This contract must be signed within the next thirty days, for at the end of that period we will start to rebuild our lines overhead, as we have a right to do under the franchise which we now operate. We intebd to spend $150,000 in Richmond and the contract we have offered the board of public works, asks nothing of the city, but the right to spend this amount of money in Richmond. We offered the same contract to the board of public works at Muncie last Monday and they promptly signed it and the city council ratified It that same evening, as they were only too glad of the opportunity of getting some of the. wires underground." Mr. Cline stated that he thought that the Home Telephone Company
had something to do with the stand
taken by the city officials. "I think
the Home Telephone people used their influence to have the contract we submitted, turned down. Someone who was "next" must have told
mo city omciais mat our company
never accepted contracts which con talned rate clauses," said Mr. Cline
"I suppose the Home Telephone peo
ple thought that if we were allowed to build our lines underground that it would spoil their chance of selling out to the Central Union. I can as
sure them that it will net. Only last
week we bought out r independent
line in Shelbyville under cxaitly the
same conditions."
The clause in the original contract
to which Mr. Gardner objeefbd, stated
that the people of Richmonf would be
furnished telephones at rates preva
lent in other cities of
and under the same condi
isted here. This was ence made to rates.

Christian Sciencg Lecture
Claiming that he was seriously injured and incapacitated for work Charles B. Howes, who was injured on the night of February 24, in an accident at the Pennsylvania Railway crossing on North 13th street, has brought suit through his attorneys, Robbins & Starr, against the P. C. C. & St. L. Ry. Company for $5,000 damages. At the time of the accident, Howes was a member of Hose Company No. 1. In the complaint 'Howes alleges that the fire department was making a fast night run to a fire in the north part of town, between Fourteenth and 15th streets. At the Thirteenth
street crossing the wagon on which
Howes was riding narrowly averted a collision with a switch engine, which
was backing down the yards. In the sharp turning of the wagon, Howes was thrown off and sustained vari
ous injuries.
Howes says that the engine gave no
warning and that it was running at the rate of about 15 miles an hour.
He also cays that there was no flagman stationed at the crossing to warn the driver of the approach of the engine.
The other members of the Hose
company wno were injured in tnis
same accident, have settled with the
claim department.

"Yes, Funston is the man. He should be called the Savior of San

justly keen alive the . story of his
deeds. The above statement was
made yesterday by C. E. Brown,
traveling man, who was in Richmond
and was telling over again his
his tale of how he escaped from the stricken city of San Francisco, when
the people were mad with fright, fol lowing the earthquake. Brown stated that without Fun
ston's direction, the city would have
been in worse chaos than can be imagined and many more lives would
have been lost. He said that the people of San Francisco appreciate the work of Funston and will remember him in the rebuilding of their city.
ART OF KEEPING COOL.
Sensible ScKKestionn to Fellow DnrIng the Comlns Sn miner. When the hot summer days are upon us and it is impossible to change our environment the best help toward keeping cool Is to learn to adapt ourselves to it. But with all of us habit is so strong that few of us think of adaptation, and as a consequence we suffer from a way of living which is suited only to the cold winter months. The oultivatlon of peace of mind is the first requisite. A cool bath taken on rising is the best tonic to prepare one for the day's labor and exposure. A tepid, cool bath or a short hot bath may be taken in the evening, and if greatly fatigued it Is one of the most effective means of bringing refreshing sleep. Another necessity to keeping cool is not only in the exercise of body, but in thematter of diet as well. All bodily heat arises from the oxidation or burning of the food we eat. So when the temperature rises tho body
needs less fuel. A warm weather
breakfast should be a very light meal. As four-fifths of our food is used for fuel It Is easily seen that in summer we need only a small quantity to supply vitality for bodily and mental
work. The ideal breakfast would be
whole wheat bread or zwieback, with
some wholesome ripe fruit, such as strawberries, plums, melons or apples.
By giving ourselves the. benefit of
our store of common sense many of us would go forth to the trials of a day in the heat prepared for it by a diet conducive to health. How many a man prepares for such a day with a breakfast made np of griddlecakes, soda biscuit, fried eggs and bacon, sausages, Worcestershire sauce and strong coffee! By noon he feels the heat to such an extent that he feels compelled to drink large quantities of Ice water, beer or other cooling beverages. Contrast the discomforts of such a one In the temperate zone with a cooly working bareheaded in the direct rays of the sun In a climate 20 degrees hotter. The cooly is not uncomfortable because he has adapted his diet to his environment. Any man who excites his heart and irritates his nerves by a diet of flesh foods must expect to need all sorts of artificial means to make his life bearable in the hot weather. New

The structure la twenty-four feet square, one story in height -and built entirely of petrified wood except the roof, which Is shingled.
