Encounter with the Thief.

MRS. Pierce Awakened by Hand on Her
Facet Encounter with the Thief
A colored man concealed himself in the
house of Edward Pierce, No. 715 Wilson
strSet, sometime during Saturday even
ing. The first knowledge that the Pierce
family had of the darkey's presence was
when Mrs. Pierce was awakened about
100 o'clock by the touch of a
cold hand on her face. She at
first thought it was her husband and
that he was going TO find the fire alarm
card for the alarm, which had struck
some time before. Mrs Pierce and her
daughter went down stairs in the dark
While feeling for her shoes the young
woman's hand came in contact with the
mans head.
She informed her mother of her dis
,covery and Mr.. Pierce was called by
them. Mr.. Pierce came down stairs
armed with carving knife. He dis
covered the negro in the kitchen trying
to open the door leading to the cellar.
Pierce thought the best way to get rid
of the man was the easiest and told him
he could leave the house by the
front door. Just before reach
ing the door the burglar struck ths
lamp ia Pierces hand and knocked 1t K
the floor. Pierce then struck at him
with the knife. The burglar must havs
been hurt pretty badly as blood marks
were traced to Ninth and French streets
There was no evidence of burglary
about the premises. It is thought thu
man entered the house by back window

The Evening Service.

Presiding Elder W. L. S. Murray
preached last evening. His sermon was
an impressive discourse on the text 1T
is fearful thing to fall into the hands
of the living God. Hebrews X, 81
Mr.. Murray gave three reasons why
such a fate was not to be desired First.
because death does not end all; second.
because divine judgments will follow
third, because there is no more sacrifices
none for the man who dies out of Christ,
and but one offering for sin. The speaker
developed and enlarged on these propo-
sitions, and closed with the exhortation
that kif they were true, then the churen
ought to be aroused to a realization OF
its great responsibility.
The music last evening was an attrac-
tive and well-rendered part OF the ser
vice. The selections were as follows

A Savings Box for Girls.

1t need not be a box at all; it may be a
silk bag, or big welled inkstand, or it may
be Satsuma jar. But have it. Then, when
the day is done and the purse is being looked
over, count out the pennies and spare some
to the savings box. Ny dear girl, it is your
Independence. The pennies, half dimes and
dimes count up, and then, when you want to
surprise mother with birthday gift when
you want to 60 on n frolic, or when YOU
would like to have good photograph, a real
~ good one TO give somebody who is very
fond of you, the money saved is then brought
forth. Just try going without II few things
"A car fare now and then, some candies. or
the very latest in collars, and dedicate the
ducats to the box. You will be amazed To
see how they accumulate. And best of all,
the saving habit will come to you That does
not mean lack of generosity IL means thought
for the future. Some masculine philosopher
said women only began to save money when
they had passed 80, but if that is true it is
because the savings box idea was not taught
from youth, says a writer i'll Examiner.

We hear wonderful tales of foats performed
by modern lion tanners, but none of them sur
pass in interest the famous story of Androcles
and the lion, which has come down to Us from
ancient times through the writings of n grave
historian of Rome.
Androcles was the slave of a noble Roman
who governed Africa. For crime which he
committed his master condemned Androces
to death, but he escaped from imprisonment
and fled into the Numidan desert AS ho
was wandering among the barren sands,
almost dead with heat and thirst, he saw n
cave in u rock, and sat down upon stone at
the entrance of the cave 10 escape the fierce
heat and TO rest. AT length, to his great sur.
prise, huge lion came walking toward him.

Economy in the matter Of dress lies, more
in taking care OF what clothes you hal 10 han
in having fewe. or IN spepNing less them.
In order to practice this economy have in
your room a clothes brush, whist broom
and a small camels hair brush; also have
handy bottle of ammonia, one OF benzine
and small sponge for applying either Of
them. Then never hang dress away with a
spot on it. II the missing buttons cannot be
ut once sewed on or the rips IN the gloves and
dresses mended, it should be- done at the first
spare moment, that everythi rs may be ready
to put on if obliged TO d.'ess in hurry.
Wherever the most sewing is done it is good
plan to have a bag with several compart-
ments, one for shoe buttons, coarse thread
and needles, another for da rning cottons of
all colors and degrees Of anGness, a third for
buttons Of every description, one for the best
pieces Of old kid gloves and another for the
legs of worn out hose. The sixth may con-
tain pieces Of each of your dresses. The kid
glove COMPARTMENT should contain silks for
mending, fine needles and small buttons. If
everything is handy the dreaded mending

TEACHERS HINTS or READING.


Have the reading lesson studied in advance
by the pupil.
Encourage home reading. The good reader
is the reader who reads.
Let the pupils read silently and then aloud
frst gain the Thought then express it.
The teacher should read aloud often, both
as n model and to make clear the sense.
Select the best newspaper from the literary
and moral standpoint for school reading.
Require the subs .ance of paragraphs and
of whole pieces to be given in the pupils own
words.
Tho meaning of now words should DO de
velopcd, sometimes by showing their use in
sentences and sometimes 10y definition
A vocal drill should precede tho reading.
This should be the key to the proper express
sion Of the sentiment in pitch, force, time
and quality Of voice.
The proper sentiment is TO be created by
causing in the pupil II lively picturinS of per-
cons and places, and of speech and action.
Feeling is caused by knowing.
The pronunciation Of difficult words should
be taught by directing the children's attcn-
ton to the syllablos and letters as signs Of
sound, and also by the example of the
teacher
The class should have a thorough drill ON a
few chosen pieces 90 create a standard Of OK.
preston This drill should be in concert to
avoid diflldence; and individually, in order
to secure independence, and to give an oppor-
tunity for criticism.
