bed of rock candy in front of the card, was an
immense sugar heart bearing the monogram

tall Egyptian vases of fine sugar, deliberately
ornamented and gilt pedestals supporting i'm

were large squares laid out in rock candy bor-

We have heard of a corner in almost every
thing. but not until yesterday did we hear of a
corner on pews. 1t seems that some years ago
a Baptist society was formed in village near
Brunswick and church building, located IN
that town, was purchased and hauled to the
village. The man who hauled the church re-
ceived dollar day, the total amount to be
paid for with a pew. After the society was
formed the man who hauled the church grsdu-
ally bought up number Of the best pews at a
small price. He then instituted revival in
the village, and when the interest was at its
highest sold his pews for an advance of $500
on what he paid for them, a large profit for a
small place.
