Four Old Churches.

Lincoln county, Maine, famous for
Indian relics and other antiquities, has
three churches that were built before
the Revolution, and one whose doors
were opened at the very dawn OF: the
present century. The German Luth-
cran Church at Waldoboro was erected
in III, and is still in good state of
preservation. 1t is Il queer old wooden
structure, with pews like boxes, and an
elevated pulpit and galleries around
three sides. Its interior finish is
quite elaborate, but implanted, and its
windows are set with odd little pan es
OF glass, which admit q very doubt ful
light. Its Bible and other books ara
as old rs the building, and the sexton,
Miles w. Standish, is liueal descend
ant OF the Puritan Captain. Waldo.
bOro was settled by Germans, and up
TO the year 1880 services in the old
church were connected in the German
language. At that time, however. the
congregation had become AngiiciZed
TO such degree that they preferred
their sermons in bad English. negu-
lar services were discontin ued. fifty
years ago, but the society keeps up its
organization. ana once a year the
whole countryside floclIs 10 the quaint
old church to attend the anniversary
services, which prevents it from fall.

Wiscasset, there is church which is

one mile from Newcastle village stands
a Catholic church, built of brick,
which was completed early in the year
1900. 1t is plastered with lime burned
from rock brought from Ireland, and,
although IA dingy little church, seems
likely to stand for a century yet

The Prettiest Girl In st. Louis.

Miss Nellie Pratt, who was chosen
by the votes of the exposition visitors
as the pretticst Of all the pretty girls
in the building, is a very handsome
and petite young lady, who carries
her honors easily She is neither a
blonde nor brunette, having golden
mar, with just enough curl in it to
give pretty effect to the well poised
head. Deep blue eyes, which the
owner knows how TO use to the best
advantage, sparkle saucily beneath
dropping eyelashes, and well-round-
ed outline, with shapely arms and
bust, small but well-formed feet and
hands, coupled with a neat dress,
makes an ensemble that is fair to look
upon. Miss Pratt claims 10 summers
10 her credit, but to the usual observer
this looks like an exaggeration.

Stewart and Cameron were playing a
game of poker one evening, says the
San Francisco Examiner, and although
the stakes were not high the company
was good and it ran until long after

Vest. Il feel hurt to hear he felt that
