The variety of graceful and difficult
movements that can be made with so
simple an apparatus as a wand is as
tonishing. Every muscle is brought
into play, gently, but with sufficient
stress to develop it, and no parts are
over-wOrked. The children who have
the advantage of such training will be
grateful for it all their lives. Miss
storm. who has charge of this depart
ment, is thoroughly competent to man.

The work of frescoeing the M, E.
church was completed last week. The
tracery finish of the ceiling is very ar
tistic, characterized by delicate and
nicely blending cOlOrs. So far as we
know there is general satisfaction with
the finish Of the audience room. The
glass for the windows which has been
here several weeks waiting for the
painters to get out of the way, will be
put in place this week. 1t has been
decided to put in a watermelon to run
the new organ, which has been wait
ing for the wOrkmen named above to
get out of the way, so it could take its
position in the new place at the rear of
the pulpit constructed for it. The
organ came yesterday and will be put
in place and tuned, this and the
following week. There is vet the
general cleaning up, the oiling
of the seats and the gallery front which
are OF solid walnut, the putting down
the carpet, ETC., which may consume a
month or six weeks for complete
readiness for the re-Opening day.

help along with the farm products to
provide for the weekly family ex-
penses. The chief way they can do
this is with their poultry. Living in

quently exchange visits and compare
notes. The open weather of January |
caused an unusual production of eggs. |
but on recent change of visits it was |
found that though each had about the |
same number of hens, one was getting
about as many again eggs as the other. |
There must be some cause for this. as |
the chickens in each case were well |
housed and fed. The matter of feed
was then discussed and it was found |
that the one who fed her hens on
wheat instead of corn was the one who /
was getting double the quantity of |
eggs. The daughter had another
wrinkle for she had learned something /
new. but she made nm har mind thot ~ |
