Christmas Social.

"A very pleasant affair" seems tobe the verdict with regard to the social at the Congregational church on Christmas evening. "Welcome' was the word that beamed upon people as they approached the church, and again met their eyes as soon as they entered the door.
 The church had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. Christ mas stars adorned the walls. Win dows, pulpit and every available part of the room were dressed in evergreen, and each guest was furnished with bontoniere of the same material. The notices, Merry Christmas" and Peace and Good will" stretched across the room from side to side, and proved prophetic of the spirit that prevailed among the large number of people who gathered to give and take of Christ mas cheer. The en'ivening game of cities served at the outset to break up all formality, and the spirit of socia- bility prevailed.
 A short but excellent program was rendered. The readings and recita- tions of Mrs. Doherty, Mrs. Heald and Mir. Young were heartily appreciated by all. The music consisting of Christmas carols, solo by Miss Ada EKey, duet by Misses Blanche Avery and Olive Mix, male quartett by Messrs. Griswold, Herrera, Mix and Young, was a delightful feature of the evenings entertai nment greatly enjoyed by all.
 Meanwhile a bountiful lunch tempt ing the eye and appetite had been set forth in the midst and when the time came all were ready to show their ap- preciation of that part of the program A collection was taken up amounting to sl5.50 in American money, which will form nucleus of a fund for the purchase of bell
 The ladies of tue church and all who assisted in this pleasant affair are to be heartily congratulated on the sue cess of their endeayors.

"BIood on the Face of the Moon. '

Tuesday there was blood on the face of the moonr in Nogales, and for a time it seemed as if the smoked end of Collector Webb's newspaper and MT. Dayila of .El Estado de Sonora. :" were about to commence hostilities without awaiting the usual declara- tion of war. To defend himself the smoked journalist first took q mallet and then lso it is stated went for a gun. While Mr. Dayila was indiifer- ent to mallets he concluded it wasn't his day to eat guns, so he withdrew in good order, As consequence the smoked end of the Yidette as is usual in such cases, bloosOmed next day with full page of personal allusion to MT. Dayila, signed by the smoked journalist, in which the latter chal- lenged MT. Dayila to fight duel. If the smoked fellow don't look out the law against dueling will take hold of him.

A Historical Sketch.

these discoveries has led to the lorna tion of mutual companies dedicated exclusively to the development of mines.
 The notable progress of the towns of Minas Prietas and La Colorado, their constant activity, the great and constant influx of people, who arrive day by day in search of work or tran sections of some other kind, the very expensive installations of machinery completed in a relatively short time and others projected, prove in a striking manner that the star of pro- gress makes it's powerful influence felt by shedding everywhere its viyifying rays and making us prophecy that the day is not far distant when this rich portion of our country will be the em- porium of great mining and com mercal center.

Patriotic to the Last.

A couple of Englishmen, en- route
for Rome, were joined by an American,
whose blatant patriotism first amused,
then bored them. No matter what
was admirable, rich or rare, there was
always something in America to eclipse
it, according to our countryman. The
Britishers determined to teach the
Yankee lesson, and taking advantage
of the chronic thirst Of their companion,
they piled him with all the liquor that
he could be induced to absorb, and
then proposed visit to the Catacombs.
Before they reached their destination
they were obliged to guide his errant
steps between them, and at length,
overcome by drowsiness, the American
begged to be left alone to lie down at
ease. When sounds as Of a discharge
of musketry issued at regular intervals
from the nose of the prostrate patriot,
his companions concluded that he was
dreaming of the Fourth of July, and
would, therefore, be oblivious of any
thing nearer at hand. Producing a
sheet, purloined from their hotel and
until now carefully concealed, they
wrapped the sleeper like mummy in n
its folds, and then left him to "do'
the Catacombs on their own account:
Returning an hour later, they found
him still sleeping. One Of them then
drew from under his coat tin fish
horn, and blew upon it a blast that
only elicted grunt and produced a
futtering of the eyelids Of the sleeper:
A second blast, however, longer and
louder, brought him to sitting pos
ture, with eyes wide open and senses
all alert. A moment of bewilderment,
and then he exclaimed, joyously ::

ahead !''-Harper's Magazine.

& days. She na5 aD0af ten sixty
and seventy passengers, and has been
at sea only 10 days"
In another notice, on the return of
this boat in January, 1921, the Post
said:
''Steamship Robert Fulton, Captain
Mott, arrived in New York in s days
from Charleston, having been to New
Orleans. 45 days round
,, trip to New Orleans, averaging 143
either way. \ \ The boisterous
season, the rough and heavy weather
which she has experienced this trip,
must convince even the most incredu-
lous of the perfect practicability Of
navigating the ocean by steam. Cap
tain Mott gives her decided preference
over every vessel he ever commanded,
both for safety and pleasantness during
a gale of wind"
The Robert Fulton ran for three
years very successfully she was then
sold to the Brazilian Government, to
be used as cruiser, her machinery
being removed.
Various small coastwise lines were
in operation both in the United States
and Great Britain between 1925 and
1885. In 1885 the steamship Enter
prise made the trip from England to
Calcutta, and it is said that her com
mandcr, Captain Johnson, received
$4,000 for taking her out. She was
of 40 tons burden smaller than the
Robert Fulton, but larger than the
Savannah-and sailed from Falmouth
August 16, 1925. Like the Savannah,
her engine was only worked when the
weather was fine, it being used ga out
of the 1O3 days required to perform
the passage.
A steamer of $50 tons, called the
Curacor, built in England for com
pany of merchants of Amsterdam and
Rotterdam, ran between Amsterdam
and the Dutch West Indies for some
time in the later twenties. The Me-
teor, a British steamship, ran between
England and the Mediterranean in
1880 she carried the mails.
Following the Savannah, the next
steamer to cross the Atlantic was the
Royal William, 1853 ton ship, con-
structed in Quebec. She made the
run from Quebec to London in some
thing over 40 days, leaving August 5,
1888, and reaching Gravesend Septem-
Der 16.
One of the most famous of the early
steamships was the Sirius, small,
but staunch, vessel that was sent
from Queenstown to New York by the
British and North American Steam
Navigation Company on regular line
that had just been established. She
left on her voyage to New York on
April 5, 1888, with forty-s passengers,
and reached her destination April %.
Later in the same day the steamship
Great Western arrived from England,
and the appearance of these vessels
in the harbor caused great excitement
in New York. The Great Western
had left Bristol on April7, thus making
the passage in 154 days as against the
II of the Sirius. The Sirius had
originally been built for coastwise
service in England, but had been
chartered in order to anticipate the
Great Western, which was about ready
to sail on her first trip. The Sirius
made two round trips in the line, and
was then placed on the route between
Dublin and Cork, where she continued
plying until January IS, 1847, when
She was wrecked The British Queen,
newly built, took the place of the
Sirius when she left the transatlantic
route,

Corn SILK AS a Remedy.

Who would have thought that the
silk Of an ear Of green corn was
powerful and efficient remedy
for dropsy, for bladder troubles, and
for the diseases of the kidneys? ? In
the Louisville Medical News we find
an account of the medical properties
of corn silk and the cures that have
been effected by its use. The way
to use it is to take two double hand,
fuls of fresh corn silk and boil in two
gallons of water until but gallon
remains. Add sugar to make syrup.
Drink a tumblcrful Of this thrice
daily, and it will relieve dropsy by
increasing the flow of the urine enor-
mously. Other diseases Of the blad-
der and kidneys are benefited by the
remedy which is prompt, efficient and
grateful to the stomach. The treat
ment can be continued for months
without danger or inconvenience.

Samuel Ward Stanton contributes
an interesting paper to Engineering
Magazine for September, from which
we take the following:
On May 20, 1919, while the little
schooner Contract, Captain Living
stone, was sailing quietly along on the
Atlantic, the lookout discovered what
he supposed to be vessel on fire, fa1
off on the horizon. The Contract was
headed toward the new conner, but, to
the surprise of those on board, she
passed quickly and was soon lost to
sight, Notwithstanding all sail on the
Contract was spread. The conclusion
was then reached that the strange
vessel was nothing more or less than
"steam packet" bound across the
ocean.
The vessel in question was the
Savannah, shipof some $50 odd tons,
and was bound to Liverpool from
Savannah, having left the latter place
on May 26. The Savannah was the
first transatlantic steamship. She
was built at Corlaer's Hook, on the
East River, now part of New York
City, by Messrs. Crocker & Pickett,
and was at first intended for sailing
packet, but before she was finished
was purchased by William Scarborough
and others of Savannah, Ca, and ma
chinery vas placed in her. The en-
gine-inclined direct-acting--was built
by James P. Allire, and the boilers by
Daniel Dodge. The paddle wheels
were SO constructed that they could be
taken apart with little trouble and plac-
ed on deck should occasion arise, the
shaft having joints for that purpose.
Skeleton frames of iron designed to sur
ound the wheels, and covered with can
vas, served for wheel houses. The Sa-
vannah' arrival at Liverpool created
small sensation steaming up the har-
Dor, with sails furled, full head of
steam on, and the American flag
floating proudly over her, she no doubt
presented an inspiring sight. The
trip had occupied % days, on IA OF
which steam was used. Leaving
Liverpool, the Savannah sailed to St.
Petersburg, stopping once or twice on
the way, and finally returned to Sa.
vannah. The machinery was afterward
taken out, and she piled as sailing
packet between New York and Savan-
nah. She was finally wrecked on the
Long Island coast.
Soon after the Savannah made her
successful ocean trip, fine large
steamer, named Robert Fulton, of
$50 tons, was constructed in New York
by Henry Eckford, for the route from
New York to Cuba and New Orleans.
She was a staunch vessel, constructed
"entirely of oak, locust, and cedar,
and Georgia pine, copper fastened. .
She had a square, or crosshead, engine,
of the type then in use on inland
steamers; there were two boilers and
two tunnels. She left New York for
New Orleans on her first trip April %,
1920, stopping en- route at Charleston
and Havana. She was an entire sue
cess, and covered the 1926 miles be-
tween New York and New Orleans in
an average of 10 days. The New Yorl;
Ercning Post of June Is, 1920, con-
tanned the following notice of hel
arrival:
'sThe beautiful steamship Robert
Fulton, Captain John Mott, arrived
last evening, II days from New Or
leans, via Havana and Charleston. AT

Some folks laugh and shake their
heads wisely when you talk to them
about the hidden typhoid germs and
other vehicles Of disease that lurk in
the surface water that runs into shall
low wells because they cannot see the
organism with their natural eyes, be-
cause the surface water often looks
the same as the deep well water. But
with all that we are of the opinion
that much of the aftlict;on that is at
tributed to God comes from an almost
criminal ignorance regarding some
of the most potent laws of nature.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There Is only ono
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inam-
cd condition of the mucous lining Of the Eustach-
ian Tube When this tnbe gets iniamed you have
a rumhling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed Deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and this
,uhc restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
in1amed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any cast

damage to the deadly armory. There
are plenty of incipient fangs lying in
the jaw, only waiting for chance like
that to come forward and be in line
for business. They grow very fast,
and in the course of two or three days
rattlesnake that has lost it's fangs is
relitted with brand-new pair. That
is good thing to remember, for it is
the popular belief that a rattler is
made harmless by extracting it's venom
fangs. The only way to render one of
these reptiles harmless, besides kill
ing it, is to apply red hot-iron to the he,
cavities left by the fangs. This will
destroy all the vitality Of these dan
gerous parts and new fangs will not
come in.

prey he waits. He will not 60 out Of
