BiEds and Their Eyes.

NJ
Birds, as a rule, cannot focus their
eyes on an object save at considerable
distance, and then only with difficulty.
The reason for this singular fact is found
in the position of the eyes in the head,
one being placed on each side. and look,
ing directly outward, so that they can.
not be brought to bear on one object
save perhaps, at very long distance
and directly in front.
The truth of this statement may
readily be demonstrated by anyone who
has observed ordinary fowls turning their
head on one side when DESTROYS of more
closely examining some object which
has attracted their attention. When ex-
cited by the presence of strange object,
chickens will often be noticed examining
it, first with one eye, and then with the
other, turning their heads for that pur-
pose, thus showing that they cannot
bring both eyes to bear upon it at once.
The only exception to the general rule is
found in the case of the owl, whose eyes
are placed in front of the head. and
are capable of being brought to focus
on an object at very short distance in
front.

Lifting tho Hat.

The custom of lifting the hat had it,
origin during the age of chivalry, when
it was customary for knights never to
appear in public except IN full armor.
1t became custom, however, for a
knight, upon entering an assembly Of
friends, to remove his helmet, signify
ing, am safe in the presence Of
friends.
The age Of chivalry passed away with
the fifteenth century, but among the
many acts of courtesy which can be
traced back to its influence none are
more direct in its origin than that q
lifting the hat to acknowledge the pres.
ence of a friend. Free Press.

A UNIQUE CEREMONY.
Twelve Peoples Feet Washed at the
Heavenly Recruit Mission.

Acafthiy mtbblOns
The washing of the feet of dozen peo-
pie was an interesting spectacle last night
week at the Heavenly Recruit Mission. The
ceremony began at 10 o'clock and con-
tinued half an hour. To many it was
novel but to those who attend the Heav-
emily Recruits services it was not strange,
il being the custom of the denomination
to have public feet-washing every three
months.
Worship began at s o'clock, with about
90 people in attendance. During the first
half hour Christian experiences were
related and hymns sung. Next, there was
preaching by Presiding Elder Frank L.
Haas. At the conclusion of the sermon
basket collection was taken for the visit
ing minister. IL amounted to 80 cents,
which the Rev. James Redgraves the pas
tor Of the flock, stated was not sufficient to
pay the expense the presiding elder was
put to in coming here. He appealed for
more money and received two or three
contributions of dime each. Communion
followed, and those who partook OF the
emblems were asked to come forward with
bare face and hands
When the feet-washing was about to
begin the men were requested to occupy
the north side of the hall and the women
the south side. After the gathering had
become properly seated two small tubs
were produced. One was carried to the
southwest corner of the room where
seven women were grouped in circle and
the other was taken to the northwest
corner, where five men were assembled.
INSTANTLY a dozen pair of shoes and as
many. stockings were removed. The indi-
viduals participating turned their backs
towards the spectators and some, while
removing shoes and stockings, hid their
feet between pews. 1t was noticeable how
the men gazed in the direction of the
women's corner and the women in the
direction of the mems corner.
After Presiding Elder Haas had read
part of the 18th chapter of st. John and
explained that the scripture cited was the
authority for the ceremony Mr.. Redgraves
put on long white apron and took of his
coat. one of the women also put on an
apron. Then the tubs were pushed in front
of the candidates and the ceremony pro-
ceeded. Mr.. Redgraves washed the feet of
three men, Presiding Elder Haas did like
service for one mau and one OF the party
washed Mr. Redgraves' feet. One woman
washed the feet of six women and one OF
the latter washed hers. After the feet had
been put i'll the tubs they were allowed to
soak for few seconds. Then they were
removed one at time and bathed three or
four times, after which they were wiped
with the aprons. The women wept,
shouted and sang, but the men manifested
their feelings differently. The latter en-
braced and kissed each other. Soon after
the conclusion Of the ceremony the gather
ing was dismissed with the benediction.
