Congregational Church.
Children's Day was observed at
the Congregational church yesterday,
the church being filled at the special
exercise held at the 11 o'clock ser
vice. The service was in charge of
Miss Porter, superintendent of the
Sunday school, and consisted of reci
tations, music, dialogues, etc., and
was very much enjoyed by the many
in attendance. Four pupils were
graduated from the primary to the
intermediate grades in the Sunday
school and were presented with dip
lomas on this occasion.

Presbyterian Church.
The Children's' Day exercises at
the Presbyterian church yesterday
were a great success. The church
was beautifully decorated with red
and white roses, while from differ
ent parts .of the building poured
forth the songs of birds. Long be
fore the hour the church was filled.
Promptly at 11 a. m. the Sunday
school orchestra played a selection
as the scholars marched from their
rooms to the large platform. The
exercises consisted of recitations.
drills and various musical combina
tions from the solos to the combined
choirs of a hundred voices with or
chestra. A large offering was given
to the cause of planting new Sunday
schools in southwestern Oregon. An
amusing incident occurred when the
pastor was called on for his address.
He asked the boys and girls what the
church needed the most, and some
boy of 7 years yelled out "Paint.'
And when it was explained that the
church had a new rule to do no work
that would involve any debt, and
that there was no money for paint
another youngster arose and moved
that we raise the money right now
Three others seconded the motion
and a vote was taken among the pri
mary scholars, and the almost deaf
enlng vote was unanimous for doing
away with the speech and immediate
ly raising the money' for the painting
of the church. In just five minutes
the amount was raised, and the paint
ing will begin this week. The school
was then told that the annual picnic
would be held on Tuesday several
miles southeast of the city, unless
the weather prevented. Tickets for
a free ride were given out, and the
exercises concluded with a stirring
song.

WAS IT A TORXADO?
of
Redding, Cal., June 6. An Intense
but purely local tornado snapped off
mile and a half of telegraph poles
three miles south of here late yester
day, uprooted fruit trees, scattered
naycocKS, snatterea window panes
and unroofed many lightly built
barns and sheds,
Such clouds of flying sand and
even sizable gravel followed the fun
nel-shaped cloud that the northbound
hasta Limited, which was lashed by
the tail of the storm, had to slow
down because the engineer'. cab was
filled with dust and he could not see
ahead.
A heavy downpour of rain suc
ceeded the wind, scouring the gulch
es until they were impassable for
teams, yet at Redding itself there
was not a drop of rain and scarcely
a gust of wind. Telephone and tele
graph poles on one side of the rail
road were mowed down, while those
on the other side were untouched.
'If the Btorm south of Redding
last night was a true tornado," said
Professor Alexander McAdie, of the
weather bureau, when he was ac
quainted with the derails, "It is the
first one I have ever heard of In
California.
"However, 1 shall want my own
reports on the full phenomena before
I am willing to admit that this was
the first California tornado report
ed."

FIELD MICE IN FRANCE.
FEDERALS DRAFTIXG MEX.
General Ojedft Calls for Every Man
Between Ages of 10 and 70.
At Times They Overrun and Complete
ly Devastate Whole Cantons.
The average loss inflicted annually
by field mice upon the cultivators of
France Is estimated at 2,000,000 francs
about $400,000. From time to time,
however, there is an enormous increase
in the number of these pests and in
the extent of their ravages.
France hns experienced about a doz
en serious Invasions by field mice since
the beginning of the nineteenth cen
tury. The most disastrous was that
which occurred from the summer of
1801 to the end of the autumn of 1802.
On that occasion three departments
were absolutely devastated. As an il
lustration of the prodigious numbers
in which these animals appear it may
be stated that, during the outbreak of
1822 in Alsace, within a single, fort
night 1,570,000 were slaughtered In one
canton the French equivalent of a
township 600,000 in another and 272,-
000 in another.
The sudden appearance of these ani
mals in such numbers is not due to a
rapid migration, but simply to the as
tonishing rapidity with which they mul
tiply when the weather happens to be
favorable to their preservation. ' Un
der such conditions ' a field containing
150 animals the females are about
twice as numerous as the males at
the end of winter would have "more
than 20,000 in September.
There are many ways of fighting the
pests, including the use of various poi
sons, aud asphyxiation of the animals
in their burrows by means of noxious
vapors, but the plan recommended by
the French government is to spread a
contagious disease among them by giv
ing a bacterial preparation.
Douglas, Ariz., June 4. General
Pedro Ojeda, acting military govern
or of Sonora and commanding the
federal forces of Guaymas, today is
sued a decree calling for enlistment
in arms of all men between the ages
of 16 and 70 years. He also ordered
the enforcement of the order that no
persons shall be allowed to leave
Guaymas without passports signed by
him. The passport ruling applies to
natives and foreigners alike.

Sleepwalker Falls Forty Feet.
Marshfield, Ore., June 4. Elihu
Fry, a Curry county rancher, while

HORSES AND HARNESS.
A Plea F;r Lightness and Simplicity
In the Trapping.
From many fragments of the archi
tecture of the early ages and first al
lusions to the horse as a domesticated
animal it is obvious that nothing su
perfluous in the way of saddlery and
harness was employed, and on Grecian
bas-reliefs and friezes horses are rep
resented as being ridden without bit,
bridle, saddle or stirrups, the animals
being trained to obey the indications
of the hand and leg, while the attach
ments for draft to the chariots used in
war and sport were of the simplest
character. As time went on, however,
superfluous and injurious portions of
harness were introduced, the weight
of leather and metal furniture in
creased, and more attention was paid
to appearance than utility.,
Tnis Has continued down to the pres
ent times, nnd, in spite of the protests
of those who have made the welfare
of the horse a specialty and the ex
ample of a few enlightened owners
who have realized the advantage of
lightness and simplicity in harness,
there still persists the Idea that cer
tain portions, such as the bearing and
hume rein and the winker bridle, even
if unnecessary and useless, give the
horse a more furnished appearance
and, when dispensed with, a naked
look. In other terms, fashion or cus
tom outweighs consideration for the
comfort, well being and effective work
ing of the horse. Animal's Friend.

Why He Wat Popular.
The man with a natural aptitude for
mechanics received so many invitations
to take automobile trips with friends
who acted as their own chauffeur that
he came to be envied by his less popu
lar acquaintances. One day the popu
lar guest condescended to enlighten
them on his true status.
"You fellows needn't gef green
eyed," he said. ' "I haven't got such a
snap as you think I have.' What they
want me to go along for Is to blow up
the tires and make repairs In case of
accident I wouldn't be such a hot fa
vorite if I wasn't so proficient in that
line. The knowledge that 1 wouldn't Is
somewhat galllug, but as I enjoy the
trips I swallow my pride and accept
the invitations." New lork Times.
