The various committees were ap-
pointed.

that the hours for business be from 8
to II for the morning session and
from 2 to 4 for the evening session.
TEMPERANCE AND TOBACCO.
Among the committees appointed
were one on Temperance and one on
Tobacco. Some strong blows indi-
cative Of something still stronger to
follow were given in these prelimina-
ry steps against tobacco, snuff and
intoxicating drings.
Elder Mckinney of Scottsboro, ex-
pressed the opinion that a special
committee on "wax" seemed to be
necessary if the practice of wax chew
lag was as prevalent elsewhere as it
was in his vicinity.
DR.. Lakin launched the Tobacco
committee on its labors with the ex-
coriation of Bishop Harris singing in
their ears 81 can not perceive how
50 pure thing as the Gospel can
come from so foul and dirty hole as
the mouth of a tobacco chewer.'

shorter than that of an ''eyess." be-

think that having been set free from
hood and leash, the hawk would bid
long last farewell to his late master and
home, and return to the freedom of his
native rocks and woods. But this is not
the case If his training has been at
once gentle and thorough, he will have

Old.FaShiOned Furniture.

Quaint "bits'' of old fashioned furniture
have for long time past been much
sought after, and pretty examples are
now to be met with in almost every
house of refinement and taste. One
occasionally meets with old-fashioned
things which from change of circum-
stances can no longer be used for their
original purpose. The slver-forks-
which most members of the present
generation have never seen-were,
when not in use, stored away in spe-
cially made satin wood or mahogany
box. often beautifully decorated with
inlaid marqueterie work, and in the bet
ter examples the mountings were of
chased silver. The interior of the box
was apparently solid, with a separate
slit for each knife and fork, which, ham
die uppermost, stood upright. Until
recently these beautiful specimens of
the cabinet work of a gone age could
be purchased for very few shillings
each. Some one has discovered that by
removing the interior false top and
adding, divisions for paper and envel-
opes these old knife-boXes can be easily
transformed into choice and covetable
stationery cabinets, and dealers are
now buying them up, and when trans
formed are asking almost as many
pounds as they gave shillings. Another
ingenious persona lady well known in
society-has discovered that the highly
polished. old-fashioned double handled,
plethoric copper or brass tea urn
wherewith our great-grandmothers de-
lighted to adorn the table when their
friends assembled to discuss dish OF
tea can easily be transformed into
noble table lamp of striking pro-
portions The urn proper forms the
body, and paraffin lamp, with its or
binary glass receptacle for oil, is fitted
into the space formerly occupied by
the heater. which with the lid IS OF
course discarded. The projecting
spout is likewise banished, and SIM
pie metal boss, with u corresponding
one for uniformity on the other side,
takes its place. To complete, an extra
large shade is fitted over an octagon-
shaped wire framework of ordinary
