Look Out For 1t.

Of course every body remembers the
beautiful crazy quilt which was awarded
to Mrs. William Aston at the Baptist
church fair. The quilt is valued at s 100
and is q beauty; so beautiful and so
valuable that the fortunate owner has
never used it. She now desires to dis
pose of it, and in order to do so, has, de-
ciaed to do so by chance. She and her
friends have tickets to sell at 50 cents
each which will entitle the holders to
chance on the quilt and also admission
to Odd Fellows Hall where the rattle
will be conducted. Due notice of the
day and date will be given in these COL
ulnns. There will be music and refresh
ments at the rattle and those who pur.
chase tickets will get the worth of their
money and also chance to get $500
quilt for 50 cents.

Pilgrim Baptist Church.

In union there is strength. United
with God and each other, nothing is i'm
possible. Sunday morning services were
well attended: the services were more
impressive than common. All through
the audience could be seen cheeks be-
dewed with tears. The subject was from
the cry of our Saviour when He hung on
the cross.
The right hand of fellowship was
given to the sisters and brother who were
baptized last Sunday evening. Our
Sabbath School was full of life and
spirit infused into it by our energetic
consecrated Superintendent. At $50
by invitation brother T. H. Lyles, of st.
James Church, and his school joined
with us to listen to Mr.. Z. p. Nesbitt,
State superintendent of Sunday School,
There was goodly number present.
Brother Nesbitt gave us many helpful
hints in regard to Sunday School work,
and how to interest the children: his
salt and chalk talks were very instruct
i've. He showed how the common things
Of life can be turned to service for God.
At seven O'Clock our young peoples
meeting was held; it was conducted by
Brother Charlie Martin. The Young
people did well. The meeting was right
in line with the rest of the days SER
vices. Two persons asked for prayers.
Brother Nesbitt was with us again at
our regular evening services, and after
short talk to the children, he addressed
himself to the older persons. He made
glass Of water almost speak to us.
Every heart was touched; he made the
way of Salvation so plain. Our prayer is
Lord send us more men like Brother
Nesbitt." Elder Sheale has visited many
homes in response to the slips that he
has received, and it is hoped much good
will be accomplished.

MAKING CARDBOARD,
The Simple Pro cess in Use in the Leading
Factories of England.

The Simple Pro cess in Use in the Leading
Factories of England.
On the first floor of factory the
initial stage Of the manufacture was
seen. in the mingling of the various
papers for making the boards, i. e..
two sheets for the outer surface. then
the coarser paper for middles. in single
sheets, to the number required. The
pile thus formed, which is called head,
was now passed to the left hand of the
paster, who, welding a large brush,
like the head of a sweeping broom, in
his right hand, took hold of a sheet of
outside, which was duly coated with
paste from big tub at his side.
His left hand meanwhile had seized
a sheet of inside, which. placed on the
pasted sheet, was similarly coated, as
was another and yet another, until the
required thickness was attained, when
two sheets of cutters We're taken to-
gether, SO that no paste should lie be-
tween two sheets of complete board.
As soon as pile of boards were thus
made they We're placed in a screw
press to squeeze out superfluous water
from the paste, and then hung on lines
to dry; afterwards they We're separated,
passed through glazing rolls between
copper sheets, to give them finish,
and packed for sending home.
On the floor above the process of en-
ameling both cards and paper was
in full swing; the enamel being COM
posed of color and size mixed into a
paste with mountain snow, to get the
required tint, the work being finished
off with brushes of badger hair. The
sheets of enameled stuff require laying
out to dry separately. The tempera-
ture was up toeighty degrees, as quick
drying q essential to success.
The steam for heating purposes and
Tor power, both for board making and
other work for the premises, is derived
from a Cornish boiler in the basement,
driving a sixteen-horse power hori-
zontal engine of capital construction.
The paste is boiled by steam and
starch is used for finer rk.-British
