The countess de la Rouchefpucauld has just given to the world the result of her researches into a remarkable and entirely new science, which she says she discovered, a Paris correspondent says. She can tell, she says, from an inspection of its toes, , whether a child now in the cradle is going to kill its father when it grows UP. The idea was first suggested to her by the story of Oedipus, famous parricide, )j;ho bore on his foot the stigma of the infamies which he was to accomplish. That made the countess think very hard, indeed, and ever since she has been busily engaged in Inspecting the toes of parricides with a view of discovering if a definite type exists. ' The result of her work is embodied In the momentous announcement which she made a few days ago: "He who is’going to kill his father has a shorter big toe than most other people.’* Once her discovery was complete she lost no time in communicating it to the proper people. Naturally, she went first of all to M. Bertillon, of finger-print fame. He thought it a very pretty idea, and recommended that the countess take it to the prefect of police. That functionary, however, said that it did not appeal to him very, much, but he thought it might interest the minister of the. interior. So off went the discoverer to the ministry. The presiding genius there was duly impressed, but said that it was a case for. Bertillon. When It was explained to him that the anthropologist had already been approached, he hinted vaguely that the president of the republic was a man to whom nothing came amiss; so the scientist proceeded to the Elysee palace. Since then nothing more has been heard of her. New Steel Process Found. The Daily Mail says that great interest has been aroused in Sheffield in a method of producing superior . high-speed steel by the introduction of cobalt. r The process has been patented throughout the world by a continental firm, but there are indications that at Sheffield, the center of the English high-speed steel industry, the manufacturers will fight for the privilege of making the new Steel without having to pay royalties under a foreign patent. C The new material, it is said, marks a great advance on the best qualities of steel at present obtainable for boring and putting tools. The Daily Mail recalls the fact that a few years ago, when the discovery of high-speed steel caused a revolution in steelmaking, American inventors sought a monopoly by. means of patents. The case was taken to the courts and the Americans lost it. Remarkable Duet. Two champion swordsmen, named Brettmayer and Berger, a quarrel between whom has been the talk of Paris for some days past, met in a duel the other day, under unusually severe conditions, it having been ar- I ranged that the fight should continue without intermission till one of the combatants was disabled. The encounter, which was a fierce 'one, lasted five minutes. Berger, after receiving a couple of scratches, was wounded in the chest, and the seconds then stopped the duel. A reconciliation i was effected before the antagonists left the field. f • Just Two Looks. He walked away from the pay table ■with the month’s “squaring up” w'hich included “proficiency pay.”“Shure, ye must be feelin’ rich,- ' Dinny, with all ye have there,” said a chum. , “Arran, what does this mane to me?” answered Dinny. “Just two looks —wan when I get Itj and wan whin I give it to the ould woman.’’ And his chum thought—and thought —and thought—and quietly went and re-wrote the letter he had but just concocted to his best girl. Merchant Sarcastic. In one of the suburbs of Belfast trade was dull, and the chief grocer in the district found his earnings becoming smaller day by day. One morning an old customer entered. In expectation of something good, the grocer jumped up from his seat and, rubbing his hands, said: “Well, missus, what can I get you?” "A ha’penny worth o’ soap,” was the reply. “Oh,” said the disgusted grocer, “ye’ll be for washing the canary today?” Their Ocean Honeymoon.

HOUSE COMMITTEE msjw BILL Currency Reform Measure Up for Consideration. ONLY MINOR CHANGES MADE Federal Board Remains Same—Provision for Retirement of Bank Notes and Refunding of Notes and Bonds Reinserted. Washington, June 28.—The house Thursday referred the Currency Reform bill to the banking and currency committee, and preparations were made to begin work on it immediately. The bill contains a series of changes from the original draft. President I Wilson has given authority that the I measure as it stands shall be known ■ as “the administration bill.” There still is a fight over the question of public hearings, and it is not likely that the bill will be ready for action in the house before August 10. The senate will not touch it un- ' til the tariff is out of the way. Reinserted in the bill is the original | proposition for retiring the present I bank notes within twenty years and ■ the substitution therefor of additional i federal reserve notes. This eliminates i the proposed limit of $500,000,000 in re- ! reserve notes contained in the bill as originally I ing the bank notes the government two per cent, bonds, upon which they now are issued, would be refunded by i three per cent, bonds without the cir- : culation privilege. The .provision allowing country banks to-deposit a part of their reI serves was revised, and the federal ’ regional banks were given the authority to fix the rate of discount, subject to- the approval of the federal reserve board. The reserve provision now would require country banks to keep five per cent, of their reserves in their own vaults and five per Cent at the regional reserve bank. The other I five per cent., at a bank’s option, ' might be deposited with the regional f bank or go to a correspondent in a j central reserve city with the approval of the federal reserve board. FAILS TO APPOINT HENEY. Thomas E. Hayden Will Succeed McNab at San Francisco. Washington, June 28.—Attorney General Mcßeynolds retained Thomas E.

SUGAR AND WOOL ARE PUT ON FREE LIST Latter Wins by Big Majority in Senate Caucus —Underwood Rate Is Refused. Washington, June 27. —After a twodays’ fight the Democratic caucus of the senate approved free sugar and free wool in the tariff revision measure Wednesday. The sugar schedule as reported by the majority members of the finance committee; and parctically as it passed the house, was approved by a vote of 40 to 6. Free raw wool, as submitted by the majority and just as it passed the house, swept the senate caucus by a vote of 41 to 6. The six Democratic senators who voted against free sugar on the final vote approving the schedule were Hitchcock of Nebraska, Newlands of Nevada, Ransdell and Thornton of Louisiana, Shafroth of Colorado and Walsh of Montana. The six who opposed free raw wool to the end were Chamberlain of Oregon, Newlands of Nevada, Ransdell and Thornton of Louisiana, Shafroth and Walsh. Senator Thompson of Kansas offered an amendment to retain the Underwood rate for three years, reduce it 50 per cent, in 1916 and 25 per cent, each succeeding year until it reached * the free list. Senators Chamberlain, Fletcher, Hitchcock, Newlands, Shafroth, Thompson, Tillman and Walsh supported this amendment. Senator Walsh offered the amendment to the wool schedule proposing a duty of 15 per cent, ad valorem on first class wools and that wools of the second and third class, such as carpet and clothing wool, be free. This was defeated, 3$ to 7, senators voting for it being Chamberlain, Newlands, Ransdell, Shafroth, Thompson, Thornton and Walsh. Three senators were absent, Culberson, Owens and Lewis.

AID OF m IS SUSPENDED Investigator Herrington Removed From Office. MAKES ATTACK ON WILSON San Francisco Church Federation Wires President Urging Speedy Trial of Diggs-Camlnettl and Western Fuel Company. Washington, June 27. —Clayton Herrington, special agent of the department of justice at San Francisco, who sent President Wilson a telegram appealing for the removal from office of Attorney General Mcßeynolds—his official superior—because of the circumstances of the resignation of United States Attorney McNab, was suspended without pay Wednesday by A. Bruce Pielaskl, chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice. The order was signed by A. B. Pielaskl, chief of the bureau of investigation, department of justice, and was as follows: "Am advised that telegram has been received by president gs the United States from you severely reflecting upon the integrity of the attorney general. You are hereby suspended from duty without pay pending -.receipt of any explanation you may care to make.” Just prior to receiving this notification Mr. Herrington had dispatched the following night letter to President Wilson: “As a citizen of California, I charge that officials in rhe department of justice and of commerce and labor, in disregard of judgments of the courts, and in violation of law, have prevented the deportation of French prostitutes in this state. I demand an investigation and a complete information as to which is on the files at Washington. On March 14, Secretary Wilson was informed about some of htese ch.'ses.” In a public statement Mr. Herrington said: “The president approves in words the way Mcßeynolds has dealt with the Dlggs-Caminetti and Western Fuel case’s. He disapproves in deeds by ordering the immediate trial of all the defendants, including those Mcßeynolds tried to save. He ought, therefore, to dismiss Mcßeynolds and retain McNab. “To sustain a Washington official whose decision he overrules and blame another for doing what he himself now orders done is not only inconsistent and unjust but is a humiliating evasion of the responsibilities of his high station.” San Francisco, Cal., June 27. — The San Francisco Church federation has sent the following telegram to President Wilson: “We urgently request speedy trials of the Diggs-Camlnettl and Western Fuel company cases here. If the indicted men are innocent they should have their innocence speedily determined by the courts. If guilty let punishment follow.

SENATE LOBBY PROBERS ■ ARE TOLD OF PLOT — Senators Informed by Palmer That Members Were Impersonated - Over the Telephone. 1 Washington, June 28. —The senate ■ lobby committee was startled Thursday night when Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania testified that | efforts had been made by some person, whose name he did not give, to ' create the impression in high financial circles in New York that he. Speaker Clark, Majority Leader Un-i derwood and other prominent Democrats could be influenced in legislative matters in away that would please 1 these interests. 1 Mr. Palmer swore that Lewis Cass Ledyard, a New York attorney, had told him of repeated telephone conver- ' satlons with a man purporting to be ■ “Representative Palmer of Pennsylva- , nia,” who said he possessed the confl- ! dence of leading Democratic legislators. After many telephone talks Mr. Pal- i mer said Mr. Ledyard met Edward i Lauterbach, another New York attor- j ney, who was supposed to represent the mysterious user of the telephone. Lauterbach, he said, spoke of this person’s influence with high officials i in Washington and named several. Mr, Lauterbach later took the stand and made a statement denying that he ! had ever claimed to have influence , with congressmen. “I don’t know people in Washing- | ton,” he said. “I don’t know any of the people investigating things this year.” Lauterbach explained his conversa- , tions with Mr. Ledyard by saying he ■ had talked with him about the alleged , interest of Congressman Riordan in ■ his employment by the Union Pacific railroad. Mr. Palmer took the stand at his own request. “In view of thb turn which your in- j vestigation has taken by reason of Judge Lovett's testimony,” he said, “I felt it my duty to acquaint you with an experience of my own of that kind so that you might have the benefit of it if you cared to pursue this branch of the investigation deeply.” KIN OF LONGFELLOW’S WEDS.

Mh&miowl SJNWSOIOOI Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR JULY 6 CHILD MOSES SAVED FROM DEATH. LESSON TEXT-Ex. 1:22 to 2:10. GOLDEN TEXT—“Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiv•th me.’ Matt. 18:5. The prosperous favor of the king’s court did not last long for the descendants of Jacob, and a Pharaoh arose “who knew not Joseph” (1:8). In chapter 1:7 we see that Israel was (a) “fruitful," (b) “increased in numbers,” and (c). “exceeding mighty." This was In fulfillment of God’s promised blessing (Gen. 12:2, 3). It excited the envy of the Egyptians, however, and they began to “deal wisely" (v. 10), see I Cor. 1:19, and eventually Pharaoh promulgated his iniquitous decree recorded in Ch. 1:15-21. I. The Child Born, Ch. 2:1, 2. Pharaoh’s cruel scheme seemed well adapted ta avoid the supposed danger in that it would cripple Israel, keep them in slavery and effectually prevent them from escaping from Egypt. How frequently man is deceived. A babe is born in the home of the rich or the great of earth and we speculate upon the possible ensuing changes in history, whereas at that same time another child is born unheralded id some humble home that God raises up to set aside the schemes of men. Attention has been called to the humble marriage (v. 1) of Amram and Jochebed (ch. 6:20) and the important outcome. No marriage is trivial. It does not "appear that'to cast the male children into the river was an edict when Aaron was born. Though humbly' born Moses was nobly born and his parents thought more of their duty to God than the edicts of man. Moses was a “godly child”, (v. 2, Acts 7:20 R. V. marg, and Heb. 11:23 R. V.). That is, he was without blemish, well pleasing to the eye, “fair ta God.” His parents must have entertained the hope that he was to be the deliverer of Israel and taught him so to believe, see Acts 7:25. 11. The Child in Danger, vv. 3-6. At three months of age (Acts 7:20) it was no longer possible to hide the child Moses. However, instead of his being cast into the river he is cast upon the river. Jochebed knew of the deliverance of Noah and it is probable that her meditation upon this suggested to her the adopted plan, for she made her ark somewhat after the plan Noah followed, Gen. 6:14. She also knew of the habits of Pharaoh’s daughter afifi planned accordingly. It was a perilous risk to commit her child to the crocodile infested river, but she trusted Jehovah (Heb. 11:23) and God honored her faith, as events demonstrate. Every mother must so build'about her child the ark of character, daubed over with the clay of sound principles from the Word that when it mnst leave the harbor of home upon the river of life it may be safe from the storms of temptation and crocodiles of sin. God’s Plan. It seems a trivial incident for this daughter of a king ta indulge In a bath and to find this rude pitch covered ark at the river’s brink. Yet who can comprehend His ways? She sent one of her servants to investigate. Seeing so many strange faces the child begins to cry; how very ordinary, yet how wonderful when considered as a part of God’s plan for the redemption of a race. Daughter of a tyrannical monster, she had the instincts of motherhood, for she “had compassion on him,” even though he was a Hebrew and therefore under her father’s curse. 111. The Child Delivered, vv. 7-10. From the monuments of Egypt we are able to study Pharaoh and his court. His word was supreme. At this opportune moment under God’s direction. the cry of a child is used to set aside Pharaoh’s word -and to turn the course of history. The tears of the babe found their way-into the heart of this princess of the royal house and thus the deliverer came from the system from which he was to set his brethren free. God knew that among those frivolous Egyptian slaves there was none properly fitted to care for His own. So it is that the waiting pster offered to secure a Hebrew woman to care for the child, perhaps according to a pre-arranged plan with her mother. The plan is successful and the very best nurse possible was secured. The only nurse properly fitted and God-endowed for the rearing of a child is its own mother. Perhaps it was Pharaoh’s infamous decree that led his daughter to send her newfound treasure away with a Hebrew ‘ woman with the promise of wages (v. 9). At any rate, Pharaoh is set at naught in his own household and his edict worked a blessing to Jochebed. It was most certainly during these plastic years that Moses was instructed concerning God, Abraham and Isaac and God’s covenant to th*se the fathers of his race, and to look forward for Him who- should deliver Israel. See Acts 7:25 and Heb. 11:2426. God providentially separated the Israelites from interffiarriage with the Egyptians, a fact which saved them from deterioration and effeminacy. The absolute Impossibility, humanly speaking, of their deliverance enabled God to end their affliction and deliver to them His promised Inheritance. The hour has now arrived for deliverance, all that is needed is a leader and In His own way He Is preparing that leader. Moses was neither killed nor enslaved. The venturesome faith of Moses’ parents in spite of all appearances preserved the life of their babe. God used the trivial Incidents of court life in the execution of His design. The moment Moses was entrusted to the ark God is seen taking charge and pressing into service these simple natural things in order to work out His dl-i vine purpose.

AROUNDJfIE CAMP@X> fire sib * ! INCIDENTS OF WAR RECALLED Rapid Rise of Judson Kilpatrick From Lieutenant to Major General— Wanted to Scout. Thomas J. Taylor was a member of £olonel Duryea's Fifth New York regiment and is, one of the few sur--1 vivors of the ba&le of Big Bethel known to be now in Chicago.. At the beginning of the war he aad oppori tunity to see a young soldier just out ■ of military school, who, as lieutenant : and soon afterward as colonel, then began the career that in four years i i brought him the title of major general i in both the volunteer and regular arm- ! ies. This was Judson Kilpatrick. • i “The colonel brought Captain Kil- . Patrick with him from New York,” said Mr. Taylor. “He was a lively : man with sharp features and leddish j hair, and at Camp Hampton he iftas ■j always wanting to go out on raids. I He was continually bothering the col- ! onel for permission to go scouting, as ' the colonel complained. Sometimes | he would get permission and then he ' would go out with a few men and gather up some of the wild zazor backed hogs that ran in the woods about Camp Hampton, in the battle of Big Bethel hb was wounded and left the regiment, and the next we saw of him was farther south, just before he became a brigadier geperal. The last time 1 saw him was at Chancellorsville.. Our colonel halted us as | we met Colonel Kilpatrick, and the | regiment cheered him. ' "Among the prisoners that we took at Chancellorsville there was one that 1 shall never forget. Most of them passed with bowed’ heads and eyes downcast, but this one held his head up. The crown was gone from his hat and his hair stuck up through the hole ,and he was in great good humor. Anybody could see that he yas an Irishman. / " Well, Paddy,’ said onqot our men, ‘we’ve got you this time.’ “‘Yes,’ said Paddy, ‘and aX last I’m going where 1 can get something to eat.’ ”1 remember one long march in the rain, when I almost went to sleep on my feet. It rained and rained %nd we were drenched and hungry and - sleepy. 1 was orderly for Colonel Warren then and slept in the next tent when we did pitch camp. The colonel went to sleep in his tent, and the rain came down and ran down the slope on which the tents stood. Colonel Warren wouldn’t stand the wet, and so he jumped up and went out of the tent with only a raincoat to protect himself From the storm. He was not ordinarily given to profanity, but then he did say what was in his mind. Outside the tent was a soldier patiently digging a trench to catch the water and divert it from the colonel’s quarters, but he was digging it below instead of above the tent.” Acme of Laziness. “What in Sam Hill is that dog yowling like that for?’ asked a cavalryman of a “hill-billy” in the Ozark country. > • “That there dawg?” “Yes.” “Why, he’s jes’ natchally lazy.” • “What’s that got to do with his yowling?” “Why, the train ran over his tail and cut It off last night. He’s settin’ on the sore place, and he’s too dawggone lazy to get off’n it. That's why he is howlin’.” Apd the squirt of tobacco juice he shot killed a fly in the road 20 feet away. Ohly With His Tongue. When Col. Daniel McCook's regiment was lying at Camp Dennison a brawny recruit from one of the eastern counties, who stuttered badly, was put on duty for the first time. A citizen attempted to pass the line. • The recruit yelled out: “Hu-hu-halt.” The citizen snickered and paid no attention. The sentinel carefully laid his bright Springfield upon the ground and knocked the intruder down with his fist. “I may s-s-siutter with my tongue,” said he, “but I d-d-don’t s-s-stutter with my fist.” , > Helping a Poor Soldier. When Parson Brownlow was lecturing in Tennessee a good many people . grumbled about the high price he charged for admission. A very rich but. stingy man, who had been all the time very profuse with expressions of his patriotisgi, exclaimed: “Give Parson Brownlow half a dollar? No, sir-reel I’d a good deal sooner give it to a poor soldier.” “Well, then,” said a bystander, “give your half-dollar to Captain Henry (an officer dismissed from the army for cowardice). "They,say he’s a mighty poor soldier,” “Nothing In It.” The colonel of a western regiment, consulting with some other officers, ehook his head in doubt or denial of one of the major’s arguments. “Gentlemen,” observed the major, after the colonel had retired, “common observers might imagine that the’ motion of the colonel’s head implies a difference of opinion, but they would be mistaken; it is-merely accidental. Believe me, gentlemen, when the colonel shakes his head there’s nothing in it” Squelched. The Infantryman and the cavalry* man each thought his arm of the service was the “only one,” and acted accordingly. “What would you be if you weren’t an infantryman?" asked a cavalryman. “I’d be ashamed of myself,” was the response. Society Employment “Why do you call the drivers of the buzz w agons, shovers?” "Because they’re in the big push.”
