ONLY ONE SERVICE A YEAR. Story of a Curious Little Church on an English Hilltop. There stands upon a hill in the vil- lage of Uphill, in the county of Somer- set, a small and very old church, which is surrounded by caves in which the bones of all kinds of animals have been discovered. The historic place of worship, which looks down upon Uphill castle and the village itself, was at one time the only place of worship for miles around. For several years no Sunday serv- ices have been held within its walls, and the only time that the public is allowed to worship there is one night in the year—on Christmas eve— when the vicar of Uphill or some other clergyman officiates. There is a footpath leading up the hill to the church, but as the hill is a very steep one and the distance great, very few people visit the church. It is by or- der of the ecclesiastical commission- ers that it is opened to the public once a year. Curious stories are told regarding this interesting edifice, one of which is to the effect that the church was purposely built on the top of the hill so that the preacher could feel con- vinced of the sincerity of the faith of those who accomplished the task of climbing to it. The church has been visited by people from all parts of the world. It is the only building in Eng- land—probably in the world—in which divine service is conducted only once a year. BEER DRIVES OUT ABSINTHE. France takes More of the Former and Less of the Latter. The consumption of beer in France 2as increased by more than 40 per ént during the last five years. In 1906 it reached the imposing total of 317,- 40,000 gallons. does not appear that the increas- -d use of beer has diminished in the slightest degree the consumption of wine and cider. But Consul Manson s quoted in Bonfort’s Wine and Spirit Circular as saying that, as the con- sumption of beer increases, that of alcohol, especially in the perilous rorm of absinthe, is slowly but steadily de- reasing. The statistics of 1904 show that dur- ing that year the amount of absinthe sold for drinking purposes in France fell off more than 130,000 gallons, or 2.8 per cent. This is not a sweeping or conclusive reform, but statistics seem to show that the maximum danger point has been passed, Much of the beer is imported (or purports to be so) from Pilsen and Munich, though most of the leading breweries in other German cities haye Paris agencies and distribute their beer to retailers. This entails high prices to consumers, as_ there is a heavy import duty. Under the stim- ulus of this protection the brewery in- dustry of France has developed rapid- ly both in respect to quantity and quality of the product. BEAUTY OF MEXICAN INDIANS. Their Fine Eyes and Features and In- telligent Expression. The beauty of Indian women is one of the charms of Mexico. In the capital, where the Indian has degenerated by contact with the whites, by extreme poverty and menial service, it is less to be remarked than in the smaller towns and in the coun- try. But the beautiful faces one takes in memory away from Mexico are those of Indian women. Fine eyes are uni- versal and, what one hardly expects, fine features, according to Caucasian standards; broad brows, straight noses, well formed mouths and chins full but not gross or heavy. The ex- pression is very generally intelligent and often one is struck, both in Indian men and women, with the nobility and refinement of the countenance, One frequently sees types among the peons that seem to belong to some highly civilized ancient casts, an Egyp- tian priest of royal blood, « Roman centurion, an Aztec emperor. The women are gently lovely where they are beautiful, and the men at their best in carriage, in manners and in countenance are strikingly like the very advanced product of civilization. In the North the “noble red man” has chiefly been found in our poetry and romance. At their highest they possessed only the savage virtues. Here in mid-Mexico, even after four centuries of subjection, the Indian is plainly of better make, of higher eth- nic development, of infinitely greater possibilities. It is a far ery from the Apache to the Aztec. Laymen and Missions. If the professional and business men in the civilized lands of the West will devote to the study of missions the same enterprise, energy and enthu- siasm that they have brought into requisition in their secular occupa- tions, the cause will receive such an impulse forward as will come little short of revolutionizing the work from every point of view. Wolves Plentiful in Ka The farmers of this county, says the Cottonwood Falls correspondent of the Kansas City Times, say there are more wolves in the country this sea- son than there have been before for years, and it is no uncommon occur- rence to run across a family of half a dozen young coyotes while on a drive through the pasture country. Just now they are certainly making times prosperous for some of the farmers. The other day one man brought in nineteen wolf scalps, and another, one who had dug out four dens of young ones, brought twenty- four scalps, which they turned in to the county clerk’s office for $1 bounty money. p Eagle Kite Fooled Kingfishes. Seven boys entered their miniature airships for the annual kite-flying con testt, open to children of the publi¢ and parochial schools, which tooh place yesterday afternoon in Geneset Valley Park. Interest was lent to the contest by an odd incident, showing that thé birds of the air may be fooled by the cleverness of man. Aling Brown hat a kite madé in imitation of an Ameri can eagle, and when it spread its wings to-the breeze and rode awway into the air it looked like a real “king of the air.” Indeed, so perfect was the imitation that as the beautiful kite soared over one of the trees in the park in rising. two large kingfishers saw the strange fowl, and, uttering their shrill cry o} battle. left the tree and followed the kite high into the air. They wheeled and circled around their new enemy but such was their awe of the majestic bird they did not venture to push hos tilities to the actual point of contact This eagle kite took the first prize. Dog That Catches Fish. Nick Craighead, a Callaway county farmer, has a fine shepherd dog that has made quite a reputation for itself by catching fish in several small streams near his place. The dog is enabled to see the fish because of the clear water that flows in the streams. He waits on the bank until a fish draws near the surface, and then with a leap and dive into the stream grabs the finny quarry before it has time to swim away. The dog has made such a name for himself that many persons drive to the Craighead farm just to see the animal in his piscatorial act. Shot Bear From Automobile. Hunting bears with an automobile is not exactly the kind of sport that F. D. Marsh of San Francisco was looking for when he made a trip to Crater Lake, Ore., but he arrived in this city last evening from the north and had four claws of a bear tied to the dashhocrd of his sixty-hourse power whiz wagon. Marsh says that he and his party ran acrossea big brown bear. by the roadside. Without leaving his’ seat he fired a,shot that was fatal to Bruin. He does not say that the bullet pierced the heart of the bear, but he shows the four claws as evidence that he is telling a straight story. That Shouting Huckster. But why should the huckster pro- claim his coming with a vociferous- ness that can be heard three blocks The yelling may stimulate but those who do business do not fing such methods ~» and why should it be so with the hucksters? There is no pressing demand that the huckster be abolished entirely, but city life would be much more pleasant and the last cat nap more soothing if some way could be found to suppress the yell. Superstitions About Babies. “You mothers,” said a college girl disdainfully, “have the silliest super- stitions about your babies. For my graduating thesis I am compiling the baby sunerstitions of the world’s mothers. They’re the most ludicrous things. Listen: “In Russia they think a baby and a kitten can't thrive in the same house. They kill the kitten as soon as the baby comes. “In Spain they won't let a baby un- der three see its reflection in a mirror. Otherwise they think it will grow up vain, proud and cruel. “In Roumania babies will wear blue ribbons around the left ankle to ward of evil spirits. “In. Hungary they think that if you dress a girl baby in. red she will turn out bad. “In India it is good luck for a baby to fall out of bed. “Trish babies keep strands of wom- en’s hair in their cradles to protect them from sickness.” An Ohio Idea, Johns Hopkins University of Balti- more, the first institution’ of learning in this country to adopt the true uni versity plan of all around education, has decided to admit women on eyen terms with men. This is a working back eastward of an idea in education which originated in Ohio.» Oberlin and Antioch col- leges, the latter under the presidency of Horace Mann, were the first insti- tutions of collegiate rank to admit women and to make co-education a principle. Many colleges but few uni- versities have followed. Fishes’ Moving Day. Sir Charles Welby of Denton Manor has had one of the large ponds on his estate, known as the Church Pond, at Denton, emptied and all the coarse fish removed therefrom and placed in the Nottingham and Grantham canal, says the London Globe. The sight was a remarkable one, and a large number of spectators watched the proceedings. All kinds of vessels were used for the removal of the fish, and six big loads were transferred from one water to the other. It is computed that 10,000 fish were removed to their new home. An Expensive Appendix. Will MacMillan, who used to drive our meat wagon around, but who has taken a short vacation to regain his health, is driving Herman Fleming’s meat around while Herman is confined in the hospital in town getting his ap- pendicites cut out, which takes two days per week and extends up in Bucks county on Saturdays, not saying bee ada Herald-Review $1.00 For One Year From this date until January 1, 1909, the subscription price of the Herald Review will be reduced to $1.00 per year.
