Sunday, 18th was one o. the most
beautiful of this season. All the
churches had fine attendance. The
people could be seen making their way
to their several places of worship,
bright and early TO each service.
At River View Baptist Church, Rev.
George +. johnson, pastor has been
absent for sometime, but his pulpit has
been filled very acceptably by several
good ministerial brethren.
The pulpit OF the 5th Baptist Church
was acceptably filled by their former
pastor, Rev. J. p. Clark of Ashland,
s. Jackson preached warm sermon,
and at $3.50, Rev Mailer of the MethO-
dist Conference then in session here,
preach very instructive and fOrcible
sermon. He told our people the living
truth. He is good reasOner.

troubles have added much fury to the
flames, all seeking to be pastor at the
expense OF the people, and now the
people are left and somebody (Revs. J

taken to the woods, and yet our people
are ever ready to condemn some o;
our home leaders in churches, etc.

STUDY OF THE MOON.
Peculiarltiss Noted IN It's Appearances
1t Dinerent Times.

Peculiarltlss Noted IN Its Appearanco
1t Different Times.
Tosthes casual observer the motions
OF the o appear to be exceedingly
whimsical and irregular: II its place
in the sky is watched it will be found
that it is first north and then south Of
the suns path and that it is sometimes
east and sometimes west of that lumin-
airy. The last two motions are steady
and regular from east to west, carrying
the O in it's endless swing around
the heavens, starting at new moon neal
the sun and progressing until at full
moon the whole visible portion of the
sky separates the two bodies. After
this there are two weeks in which the
moon the whole visible portion of the
approaching the sun from the other
side, then, again apparently all of a
sudden, it passes the sun and we behold
a new moon" The north and south
motions Of the moon are entirely diff
ferent. While performing its endless
journey from west to east there are two
special periods in which it either moves
far northWard or takes up it's position
low down in the south. In spring the
first motion is north, but afterward the
general motion is reversed. In Deem
Der you will note that the full moon oc-
ours at the most northerly point in her
course and in June at the most souther-
ly. This is why we have most light
from the full moon of winter and least
from that of summer. Observations on
these various movements indicate to us
the path which the moon moves about
the earth and also show us that that
at varying distances from the earth.
This indicates that the moons path is
rot a circle, but an ellipse, having the
earth in n of it's foci. The moon be-
ing governed directly and held in posi-
ton by the attraction of the earth, holds
it's primary movements in a path
around our globe, but the attraction en-
ergy of the sun and of the giant planets,
perhaps in a lesser degree, produces
motions in the moon which may be
summarized briefly as a combination
of the six following movements: Cd It's
revolution about the earth, (2) it's revo-
luton with the earth about the sun,
(3) the vibrating eccentricity of it's
orbit, () the slow, direct rotation in
the Zine of %apsides," (5) the ~retrograde
rotation in the line of nodes and e. it's
rotation on it's axis.-St. Louis Republic.

Earrings to BE Revived.

1t is rumored that the use of earrings
is to be revived, and as these ornaments
have frequently been given as wedding
presents in fashionable circles lately, /
am afraid it is likely to be true. /
noticed that the Duke and Duchess Of
York presented a brooch and earrings
to Lady Eva Greville. I do sincerely
hope that the women of to-day will not
often be found willing to revert to a
fashion which is but a remnant of bar
barism, and that they will not spoil the
natural beauty of their ears for the sake
of sticking jewels in them. If once the
fashion Of earrings should become gen
eral again it will only be a matter of
time before the reintroduction of those
%hideously vulgar-looking, long ap-
pendages, which distorted so many
pretty ears in the past. Before any
reader has her ears pierced l hope she
will consider that the fashion may be
very transitory, and that even if the
rings are not worn the. mark very sell
dom disappears; moreover, any weight
attached to the lobe of the ear is likely
to drag it down and spoil it's proper
shape.-Home Notes.

Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, says
that the Dakota Indians once held a
war dance hear a mission house. He
went to Wabasha, the chief, and said:
"Wabasha, you asked me for a mission
airy and teacher. I gave them to you l
visit you, and the first sight is this
brutal scalp dance. I knew the Chip
peWa when your young men have
murdered. His wife is crying for her
husband; his children are asking for
their father. Wabasha, the Great Spirit
hears his children cry. He is angry.
Some day he will ask Wabasha: Where
is your red ~brother?'" The old chief
smiled, drew his pipe from his mouth
and said: white man so to wal with
his own brother in the same country;
kill more men than Wabasha can count
in all his life. Great Spirit smiles; says
Good white man! He has my book. !
love him very much, I have a good place
for him b~y-and-by.' The Indian is a

kills one man, has a scalp dance. Great
Spirit is mad and says: Bad Indian! :
put him in a bad place by-and-by,

Painting With Tapestry Dyes.

The manner of painting upon silk
or wool, with tape stry dyes, is to
poence the design through a sheet of
perforated MANILA paper. The
poencing bag is filled half with pow
dered charcoal and half with burnt
sienna, care being taken not to use so
much as to stain or blur the back
ground. AS in all such processes,
delicate manipulation is needful.
Next, the outline must be traced in
local color, with a small brush. before
painting the background.

Origin of an Old Saying.

The question is often asked as to the
origin of the oft-used phrase, "Dead
as a door nail" but is not ALWAYS an
swered readily. The following expla-
nation recently appeared in the
Chicago Journal Of Commerce. 'The
door nail in earlier times was the
plate on the door upon which the old
fashioned knocker struck to arouse
the inmates Of the house. AS the plate
or nail was struck many more times
than any other nail, it was assumed
to be deader than other nails. Hence
the phrase, dead as a door nail"

SHE TENDED STILL.
What = Revenue Onlcer Discovered il
North Carolina.

- N
Fol many years Eph Honeycutt OF
Mission, South Carolina, has conducted
a brandy distillery, and had a reputa-
ZION throughout that country for max
Ing the best brandy to be had. The
oastlllery was always conducted in an
orderly way, which is not the case
with all of them.
The other day a revenue officer went
down to the still to mark up the
brandy, and 10, and behold! a woman
was attending to things. The officer
inquired of the woman as to Honey
cults whereabouts.
Hes not here; does not stay here"
replied the woman.
"Well, who runs the still?"
Why, 1 do, of course. I have been
attending to it for these many days,
and can make just as good brandy as
Eph Honeycutt can"
well, who are you, and who does
this distillery belong too" asked the
officer in astonishment.
'The whole thing, including my
self, belongs to Eph Honeycutt, for I
am his wife. I attend to things for
him, because he has the farm and
other matters to look after"
And then she went around to
chunk up the fire and squeezed the
flannel strainer in the doubling keg''
to see if the ''singlings'' were strong
enough.
