THE MAIL ORDER CATALOGUES.
In millions of homes the fall mail order catalogues from dis
tant metropolitan establishments will shortly be received.
They have smart little cuts by clever draftsmen, concise de
ncriptions by trained advertising writers.
They are a model of good form in publicity, which every home
merchant might well emulate.
Patronizing a house hundreds or thousands of miles away,
however, in preference to the tried and and trusted home mer
chant, is a dubious proposition.
Nothing is more deceptive than a catalogue cut.
If the article, is represented by a drawing, the picture has lit
tle value to the discriminating buyer.
Even a photograph gives little ideas of texture and qualities.
Buying from a picture in a catalogue cut is essentially the same
as when the boys used to swap jack knives "unsight and un
seen," without any chance to learn what kind of a knife the other
fellow held in his closed hand.
It seems about as hopeful to the wise buyer as patronizing the
grab bag at a public fair.
The only way to tell whether you are getting good worth for
your money is to see the goods, handle them, and put the sales
man or proprietor through a searching questioning to see if the
value is really there.
A purchase from a catalogue cut of a house at a distance gives
opportunity to do neither of these things.
In buying from a distant mailorder house, you have express or
freight charges to pay from the establishment to your home,
you take chances on long-delays that may rob your purchase of
part of its valuo.
If the goods are not what you expected, it may cost you more
than the article is worth to get satisfaction, if indeed you ever
get it.
Ask your home merchant for the article you saw in the cata
logue cut.
If it's any good, he will get it for you for the same money,
minus any express bill.
And if it is no good, he will tell you so, and save you a disap
pointment. ELECTRICITY AS A FOOD.
The assertion of Prof. Bergonie, the Bordelois scientist, that
high frequency electric currents can take the place of ordinary
food is meeting with much skeptical comment from other savants
Dr. Moutier, who under the name "darsonvalisation" has cre
ated a method of curing arterio-sclerosis by the high frequency
current, and is regarded as the greatest living master of electric
therapeutics, admits that Dr. Bergoine is a high authority and
that his experiments are important, but he does not consider it
possible that food, as ordinarily consumed, can be duplicated by
electricity.
"Up to the present," he states "we know that by electricity it
is possible to warm a chilled organism, and even to introduce in
to it a certain quantity of energy under the form of heat.
Thus we can understand how a person electrified in this man
ner can cut down ordinary nourishment.
"As a matter of fact the quantity of food necessary to maintain
life is much less in summer than in winter, and less in hot
countries than in cold.
"But it does not seem to me that electricity alone can take the
place of solid nourishment."
Meanwhile Bergonie's assertions have taken a great hold on
the fancy of Parisians, and pictures are drawn of electric res
taurants of the future with customers calling for a small cur
rent well done and turned over. A few jolts of ham and egg
flavor or a mixed lot of circuits for hash.
Just imagine getting a coupleof kilowatts of roast beef shot
into you. and you need not even open your mouth and no wait
for the waiter just sit down to the table, press a button and fill
up on whatever you like best.
It might work all right for the soup or fish, for it would be a
superficial feed.
THE COUNTRY BOY.
A recent report by the federal civil service commissioners
shows that while about two-thirds of the graduates of city gram
mar schools fail m the commission s examination most of the
graduates of the country schools who try for federal positions
pass without difficulty.
The commission atetmpts no explanation of this.
But the Memphis News-Scimitar explains it on the ground
that while the city school boys have their attention distracted
by many things, the country boys have fewer distractions and
consequently concentrate their attention to their work.
This does not only apply to the usual distractions or attrac
tions of city life.
It applies to the methods of conducting the schools.
For the greater part the smaller the school center the fewer
the educational fads.
In the smaller city, the village and the country 'schools, boys
are not taught crotcheting, sewing and other and many fads
which in recent years have come to be regarded as part of a
common school education.
But they are taught the rudiments, the principles of education,
and they are well grounded in them.
And that grounding forms a firm foundation upon which to
build.
More meat, less superficiality.
This is worth the attention of city teachers and parents.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS
DISCUSSED DY DR. AVISOfj
and held that bo was alwaya emphat
ically against capital punishment, as
when He said, "It hath been said an
eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,
hut I say unto you lovo your ene
mies, etc."
The minister showed that five states
of our union havo totally abolished
capital punishment, and thirteen additional-states
have a conditional penal
ty renting with the Jury trying the
case, and he held that all punishment
for crime ought to be reformatory,
and that criminals should be confined
until they showed good evidence that
they were reformed, and no longer.
lie showed how that England, one
hundred years ago, took human life
for two hundred crimes and now she
has only two capital offenses, murder
and treasoa.
He gave out the statement that a
number of chief Justices of states
where capital punishment had been
abollBhed, hold that convictions for
murder are much easier since the Jury
knows that it does not mean the exe
cution of the criminal. The ratio of
convictions now stand aa 73 to one,
showing that the average Jury is un
vllllng to be a party to the legal tak
ing of human life.
He held that society would be as
well protected by life imprisonment as
ty the execution of the murderer, and
then, said he, "Think of how often an
Innocent man is executed and of how
the innocent family suffers more than
the condemned criminal."

Before a splendid audience, well fill
ing the First M. E. church, last SuiP
day evening, the pastor, Dr. AvlBon,
preached a masterly sermon on Capi
tal Punishment. The audience was an
inspiration and the minister at his
best. For more than one hour he was
mnBter of the situation and his hear
ers gavo no signs of weariness.
The preacher took two texts, one In
GoneHls, "Whosoever shall shed man's
blood by man shall his blood be shed,"
and one found In Matthew, the words
of Jesus to the woman, "Neither do I
condemn you. Go and sin no more."
He took tho position that, in the for
mer text, the words "by man" were
not In the editions of the Bible as
generally published, and should not be
In the St. James version. He gave
much data to show that the position of
the Bible was against capital punish
ment, and that as civilization and
Christianity advanced the race got
farther and farther from the feeling
that a state or individual had, a right
to legally take life.
Ho took, very strongly, tho advanced
ground that Jesus Is the very best au
thority on any moral or. other question
