September Is, he now promises that the
structure will be complete in every detail
by that time. The organ is now being put
in place, and the laying of the carpets will
begin on Monday.
Rabbi Fryer will bear the double distinc-
ton OF being the youngest and the only
American born rabbi who has ever offici-
ated in this City. He was born in Cleve-
land, and is 26 years of age. He graduated
from the Cleveland public schools with the
highest honors. and on the advice and I'M
der the direction of Rev. DR.. Machol, one
of Cleveland's most prominent rabbis
took up the study of theology. In less
than year he made such progress that it
was decided to send him to the Hebrew
Union College of Cincinnati, where he en-
tered the third year preparatory depart
ment. From this department he was the
only one to graduate with the highest dis
tinction. He then entered the collegiate
department of the college. attending at
the same time the University of Cincin-
natl, whence he emerged with the degree
of B.A., and was appointed one of two
speakers at the graduating exercises.
Immediately after graduation he received
various calls, and accepted one in Meridi-
an, Miss, where he had OBLIGATED during
the holiday period the year just before
graduating. His gradu alton thesis on
1.-THE Messiah" was paper showing marks
or unusual ability ana the results OF deep
research, and received high commenda-
ton from prominent and influential
Jewish theologians.
From one who was Classmate 1t was
learned that Rabbi Fryer possesses per-
sonality that is generally termed magnetic;
that he is endowed with eloquence and
strong intellectual qualities; is exceeding
ly modest; is a deep student, and takes
the greatest pleasure in his researches
after truth and in disseminating health
fui moral and spiritual atmosphere where
ever he may be.
His reason for changing the field of his
labors is the advice of his physicians to
leave the malarial breeding district of
Meridian for some more healthfuI cline.
In response to the advertisement of the
congregation for a rabbi more than forty
applications were received, and the choice
fell on Rabbi Fryer by reason OF the strong
recommendations that were received in
his favor.
He is blonde, of handsome appearance
and elegant form, and is unmarried.

BUTTERFLY SINS.

Sin as a caterpillar is bad enough, but sin
as butterfly is q thousand times worse. The
butterfly, for all its gorgeous coorings IS
only O caterpillar with wings. The swallow
recognizes it as q worm and makes his din
ner off it in spite of the wings SO sin is the
same disgusting thing at the bottom, how
ever concealed under an attractive name.
In the interests both of truth and OF virtue
the ecircumlocutions euphemisms at present so
much in vogue ought to be sternly discarded.
Not many comprehend the power OF words.
To change the Game of thing Is equivalent
with most persons to changing its character.
The true name of q sin is the best exposure
of it, strips off its seductiveness, and sets
forth in the glaring light Of its own gross
ness. The effort to do away with these plain,
homely words and gild over wiGkedness must
be resisted.
He who jocosely alludes to the devil as "the
old Nick" or "his Santanic majesty, has
done something 10 put out the fires OF right
eous indignation against the Evil One. The
smooth, fair phrases under which crimes are
so frequently alluded to in the public
prints do much to debauch public
sentiment. Adultery is an questionable
word; 80 is lying and theft; but II these
terms were faithfully applied to what are
pleasantly called ''marital infdellt1es,
''commercial inveracities,' Financial irregu-
larities,' it would be much better for the
moral health of the community Conversa-
ton is educational. Let US keep to the
strong Anglo-Saxon words wherein yea Is
yea and nay is nay, lest we fall into condem'
nation.

HOMEMADE PIANO LAMP.

There is really nothing the Ameri-
can girl can't do when she tries. For
instance, a couple of clever Washing
ton girls have actually made them
selves piano lamp. They have wit,
they have the best of breeding, but
they haven't money. A ready-made
piano lamp was beyond them, so they
set to work to manufacture one. First
they took three broomsticks and tied
them together tripod fashion. These
they wrapped lightly with coarse cord
and fastened a flower pot at the top.
The whole was covered with innumer-
able coats of black enamel paint, and
when an old brass lamp was fitted into
the pot, with an overgrown shade to
top off with, you'd have said the lamp
was the latest thing in wrought iron.
It sounds like q story out of wo.
mans magazine, but it isn't. Its true.

HOW TO DRESS FOB A PHOTOGRAPH.

The greatest number of sitters are
utterly ignorant as to how materials,
colors and styles of costumes will ap-
pear in the finished portrait, and the
operator is blamed for what is, as a
rule, not his fault.
As a rule it is well-and should be
required--to avoid very positive pat
terms, such as large plaids, checks,
wide stripes and much jet or other
glittering trimmings and much Jew
elry.
Sharp contrasts in materials, trim
ming or style Of cut are decided
detriment to pleasing portrait, and,
rs q rule, the tone of color should
harmonize with the sitter's complexion
and hair.
Glistening silks are difficult to light
well, as is any material which does not
easily lend itself to soft folds.
Dead lustre silks, soft woolens,
grapes, feecy tissues and similar ma
terials are always effective.
One should soften by rendering
indefinite the line between skin and
dress, both at neck and wrists, re-
membering always that, however well
o costume may appear in reality, II
alters before the camera and may cal
attention to what might otherwise
pass unnoticed. .-Photogram.

REAL SORROW.

Real sorrow is always from within. The
outward life may occasion it, but the inward
life sustains it. "The heart knoweth its own
bitterness" Sorrow commences with our
selves. Pity is its dominating element. 1t
knows no rage, nor hate, nor resentment.
1t stirs the soul to its deepest depths.
1t drives the thoughts upward toward God,
and heaven and eternity. 1t makes the
blessed abode of the future seem like ne
ccssity to give meaning to life explana-
tion to death and compensation for bound
less pain. Grace is the only balm for sor-
row. Time may dull the pain of the
wound, but hope of glad reunion is the only
real solace II the Christians hope should
perish. the afflicted heart would be HOPELESS,
and the despair that kills would bo the high
est good. Thank God His grace is suffi-
cient. No depth of human misery is as deep
as the divine mercy. God doth distil out Of
the bit,erest drink His glory and our sa'va-
eion." To the trusting heart there is an
undercurrent OF comfort in the deepest waters
Of sorrow through which mortal isever called
to pass.-Nichgan Christian Advocate.

Must Wear Silk Hats.

John O'Neill, of Chicago, has re-
ceived telegram from New York tell.
ing him that his fashion bet of $1,000
with Leo Mayer has been decided IN
his favor. During the last Grand
Opera season Mayer appeared down
town with an evening suit and Fe-
dora hat. O'Neill declared that the
hat was "not in line" with evening
clothes, while Mayer held that it was,
and offered to bet $1,000 in support of
his opinion. The bet was taken, and
the Question referred to three New
York newspapers for decision.
Those papers have decided that Fe-
dora hats .sare not in line" with even
ing dress, and O'Neill wins the money.

Rims HER OWN FARM.

Miss Mamie Robinson, aged about
twenty years, since the death of her
father, George Robinson, last tall, hos
been running their farm, on Black
Oak Ridge, six miles north OF Han
cock, Md, and sawmill besides. She
Is assisted only by her brother
Charles, aged fifteen years. About
nine months ago her father, mother
and sister, Letitia, school teacher
about eighteen years of age, were all
stricken with typhoid fever. The
father and daughter died within few
days of each other. The mother Is
still lingering and in constant care OF
Allie, the eldest daughter. A water
power sawmill on the farm has been
kept going since the fathers death.
With the assistance of the boy, Miss
Robinson cut down the trees and
hauled the logs to the sawmlll, where
they were converted into timber.
Four months were consumed in log
ging, and Miss Robinaon cut down
most of the trees herself. She put the
logs on the mill and personally super
intended the saving. Most OF the
frame work of the large warehouse OF
E. P. Cohill, now in course OF erec-
tion at Hancock, was sawed by her.
Lumber from her mill has been pur-
chased by dealers in Hancock. Miss
Robinson is stout young woman and
a very energetic worker. She is
splendid horsewoman. Besides doing
all this, she attends to the farm work.

The rum business has three pillars-appe-

HOW TO WIN FRIENDS.

True friendship is beyond oil price "Poot
is the friendless master OF world; q world
In purchase for friend is gain." A crowd
Is not company, and talk is but tattle, where
there is no love. A friend opens the heart,
wonderfully relieving the pressure OF its
grief; he strengthens the mind, wonderfully
clarifying the movements of thought. Joys
are doubled and sorrows divided at his
coming. He corrects our thoughts by
wise and faithful admonitions. He is
one in whose presence we can be
truly sincere, and feel perfectly safe. He
brings out the best there is in US. His 80
ciety Is perpetual fountain OF refreshment.
His confidence in US no array OF seeming
wrong can for moment shake. When our
need is sorest he clings the closest. Full OF
tenderness and full of truth, come veal or
woe, his place is by our side, his truth un-
diminished, his hand and heart at our dis
posal. We well may say
"Lord, give us such friend MS this,
And then, whate'er may come,
Well taste cen here the hallowed bliss
OF our eternal home"
The Lord Jesus is surely waiting to be just
such friend as this to all who sincerely seek
Him.

PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH.
Successful Experiments just Made In
California.

Successful Experiments just Made In
California.
The first experiments ever made in the
telegraphing Of pictures for long distance
was made by the Call newspaper, when an
outline picture of the entry Of the Queen OF
Fiesta, at Los Angeles, Cal. was wired from
the latter place to San Francisco. The ex-
pertinent was successful. The inventor be-
lieves his idea to be most valuable in news
paper work or In the police or secret service:
A good picture can be sent at the cost OF and
in about the space of 250 words. 1t should
take no longer than half m hour to send and
reproduce diagram. The picture Is drawn
originally upon paper ruled of into small
squares, each about one-tenth Of an inch In
diameter. Each vertical line is numbered
along tho upper margin and every horizon
tai line is lettered down tho slate. Every
square Is therefore identified with number
and letter and its location is where the two
lines designated cross each other. With the
original drawing before him the operator de-
scribes the course of lines from point to
point and tho message contains only as many
signs and combinations as there are changes
in the directions In the lines forming tho
picture. This description being received at
the other end Of the wire the lines described
are simply reproduced on similar ruled SUR
face.

THF HOME "GowN BUILDER. !"

Very often indeed the amateur dress
maker finds herself face to face with
some difficulty which she thinks it i'm
possible to surmount and she is dis
couraged and almost willing to give
the whole thing up.
One of these self-confessed difficult
ties is the adjusting of hooks and eyes
80 that they will not unfasten and
leave an unsightIy gap.
This dificultyis obviated by sewing
on the hooks and eyes alternately,
instead of the hooks all on one side
and the eyes on the other. Sewed in
this way and placed close together,
not more than half an inch apart, the
dress will stay hooked. This is the
method employed by the best dress
makers. New York Advertiser.

1t has been mentioned before the attempt
20 carry the Gospel into Thibet. 1t is about
the only land on earth where Christianity is

have been organized at different times and

for Christ. But, according to latest reports.
they are still lingering outside the closed
doors of Thibet. meanwhile improving thei-

One of the most remarkable slumps
in value that has ever been recorded
was illustrated at the recent sale Of
the effects of the Victoria Hotel, in
this city. A portrait of Queen Vic

knocked down to the highest bidder

To Preserve the Color of Flowers.

A German scientist, Herr Nienhaus,
has discovered method to preserve
the color of flowers, even the most
delicate. Ammonia in the air is the
chief cause of flowers losing their tints,
and if they be pressed between paper
which has been previously saturated
with solution of one per cent. OF
oxalic acid in water the specimens OF
the palest hues may be perfectly pre-
served. New York World.

GODS GUIDANCE.

One who carries q lantern on country
road at night sees only one step before him.
If he takes that one step, he carries the Ian.
tern forward and thus makes another ster
plain. At length he reaches his destination
in safety, without once going into darkness.
The whole has been made light for him,
though only q single step Of it at time.
This illustrates the usual method Of Gods
guidance. His word Is represented US a
lamp unto the feet. 1t is a lamp-,not a
blazing sum- not even O lighthouse. but q
plain common lamp or lantern which one
can carry about in the hand. 1t is lamp
"unto the feet" not throwing its beams afar,
not illumining q hemisphere, but shining
only on the one little bit of dusty road on
which the pilgrims feet are walking. The
duty for the moment is always clear, and that
is as far as we need concern ourselves; for
when we do the little that is clear we will
carry the light on, and it will shine upon the
next moments step.
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to sec
The distant scene; one step enough for His."
