ACTION SUITED 70 THE WORD.
How the Electric Light 1Ian Nearly Broke
 Up an Eastern Congregation.

A church society Of the st lard grade, not many miles from the Jew ton, has completed Q handsome and commodious house of worship, says the Boston Herald. The society has oecu- pied it's house but, a few times, but long e2ough to find it nice in every way, except that when the full force of the electric lights is turned on it makes disagreeable glare for the full services of Sunday evening. So the head of the building committee talked with the pastor and some of the lead CTS, and they decided that it would be practical and best to turn off the switches controlling the side lights during the body of the services, but to have them on during the coming in and the singing, and then during the benediction and the going out of the church at the close. This plan was tried for the first time Sunday evening. The man at the switches was little new, but he thought he could manage it. The Introductory hymn was over, and the pastor arose in his place and began: T am the light of the world Out went the side lights, leaving the worthy clergyman in a flood of radi- ance from the lights just behind him. His hearers smiled, some even Uttered. The pastor himself scarcely carried sober face through all tho services. The end of the meeting was near, and all the congregation noticed how much better it was to have the electric lights shine only on their light of the world" It was about time-to pass the boxes. That must be done in a full light. The deacons and the ushers were ready with their long handled solicitors. The clergyman read: 'sLet your lights so shine. On went the full force of the electric side lights. Then the audience would have actually laughed out loud only it was altogether too light.

Pestllence Among Rabbits.

A writer in a recent number of the Biologist says of the rabbits in Austra. ia that for several years in succession the animal becomes So scarce as to be quite difficult to obtain. increasing in the next few years to so extraordinary an extent as to become the most album dant mammal in the country. After the maximum of increase has been at- tained the rabbits commence to die of, and before many weeks are over their dead bodies strew the woods in all directions, while live rabbit is scarce lY to be met with.

POSTAGE STAMP COLLECTORS.
A Field Actively Covered by the "Phi-
 IateIist,"

A Field Actively Covered by the "Phi-
 Iatelist."
 "All the worlds Q stage"-at least in the eyes of the born dramatist To the mind of the born ''philatelist" it appears to present itself as Q vast field for the exercise of the energies of the postage stamp collector. From the new monthly of the Philatelc society of London we gather that the vice president of that society, accompanied by the honorary secretary of the Brighton society and one other cnthu- siastic member of the latter body, is now on tour around the world in quest of these chcrishcd triges and meeting with sympathi2ing souls in various parts.
 Mr. Castles latest letter descriptive of his mission is dated from Bombay, which has, it seems, a society of it's own, and has left on the minds of Mir. Castle and his companions the most favorable philatelic impressions. Meanwhile numerous other philatel ists, as will be seen, are posting over land and ocean without rest, g iTnpelled by the same absorbing passion.
 One chivalrously stands forth in de- fense of Prince Edward Island from the unncrited contempt of the indo- lent philatelists who have spoken dis paragingly of it's postage stamp pro- ductiveness; another takes Fiji in hand, while a gentleman who has ex- amined the great work of GTr. Tiffany and his associates, just completed, on the subject of :sThe Stamped En- velopes and Wrappers of the United States reports that the list includes no fewer than sixteen hundred and forty-three varieties.

 One of the most remarkable legal papers on file in the archives of the world is now in the national museum of Paris labeled: sentence on a hog, executed by justice, in the copyhold of Clarmont-Avin, and strangled upon a gibbet at that place." It is sealed with red wax, kept under a glass case, bears date June II, f404, and reads as follows: ''sH $ We, the jury. in detestation and horror of this crime, and in order to make an example, and to satisfy justice, have declared, judged, sentenced, pronounced and appointed that the said hog, now de- taincd in the abbey as 2 prisoner, shall by the executioner be hung and strangled on a gibbet. near the gal lows which is within the jurisdiction Of the monks whose names are hereto appended, near the copyhold of Alvin.

Tn. first sfssrschapm.

A shoemaker, Kavol Kowates,
who in 1923 lived at Pesth, the capi.
tai of Hungary, smoked the first
meerschaum pspe. Besides being q
shoemaker, however, he was one of
natures handicraftsmen, being gift
ed with an intuitive genius for cary
ing in wood and other material.
This brought him into contact with
Count Andrassy, with whom he be-
came a great favorite. The count,
on his return from a mission to Tur-
key, brought with him a piece of
whitish clay, which had been pre-
sented to him as a curiosity on ac-
count of its extraordinarily light,
specific gravity. 1t struck the shoe
maker that, being porous, it must be
well adapted for pipes, as it would
absorb the nicotine. The experiment
was tried, and Kavol cut a pipe for
the count and one for himself. This
first meerschaum pipe made and
smoked by Kavol Kowates has been
preserved in the museum at Pesth.-
New York Post.

But they did fish.
Yes, and they caught big fish.
And the big man came up town on

rubber boots, fell overheard, and when
he went out ON the bank to empty the

black bass in the boots.
They took the fish to the home o
one of the party and cooked them and

found it necessary to hire two assist

had been spattered on the kitchen floor
