next was to doubt if we had not been

In some dioceses of the Episcopal

The appointment has aroused no op-

1t is said that the first Sunday
school in this country was by the Dunk

claim, however, is disputed, and the as

CONTESTS IN cAsK ROLLING.

Queer Amusement Of Coopers Which &C.
cured Recently In France.
One of the most unique contests that
ever took place in France or anywhere
else occurred in the town of Nogent-on-
theMarne, near Paris, the other day.
There are a great many cooper shops
in this place, and the employees organ
lied series Of international cask roll
ing races" Coopers and other men and
women engaged in the manufacture or
handling Of casks.were eligible as COM
petitors.
The trace course" was along fine,
level bit of road bordering the River
Marine, the same place, by the way,
where took place almost year ago
the series of '.wooden-legged races"
which were so amusing that they made
the town famous all over France. -
The cask rolling contests consisted in
rolling the casks on edge, precisely in
the same way that the competitors
were accustomed to roll them in the
course Of their daily work. Anyone
who has ever tried to roll barrel in
this way even for a few yards will ap-
preciate the difficulty of the task and
the skill required in a long race. Each
competitor had to wear the solid black
apron of his craft.
In the first race the casks were man
aged with both hands, in the second by
one hand alone, and in the third two
casks were employed, one with each
hand. There were a large number OF
entries for the first race, where both
hands could be used, but in the Sec
ond and third, where more skill was
required, the number of competitors
was few. The contestants showed,
however, wonderful dexterity, and the
finishes were so close that the spec
tators who lined both sides of the
course completely lost their heads in
their enthusiasm.
The proceedings concluded with a
"concours d'intonation," or competi-
ton of trade cries. Each of the differ
ent branches Of the cooper's trade
prides itself on it's distinctive cry as
much as students of different universe
ties glory in the peculiar hideousness
of their college yell. Prizes were Of
fered for those in each class who gave
their cries most harmoniously. The
tournament is said to be the first of it's
kind ever held. One French newspaper
says with pride: .Behold sport that
we have not borrowed from the Eng
lish.-N. Y. Journal.

Hair Under Fincernails.

The barber was talking. ''Ingrowing
hairs in the face are often painful"
he remarked, "but they amt in it with
improving hairs under the finger nails.
Fact, assure you. Ask any barber,
and he will tell you the same thing.
How do they get there? oh, that's sim
pie enough. In cutting mans hair,
a short hair very often flies off the
shears and lodges under the finger nail.
We don't notice itfat the time, and it
gradually works it's way in until it is
completely out Of sight. Then the
trouble begins. Sometimes it takes
root and grows out, but more often it
just stays there and testers. Does the
razor hurt? There you are, sir. Next!'

His Cause for Regret.

An old scotchman who had been a
long time in the colonies paidsa visit to
his native glen," and, meeting an old

In the course of the conversation the
stranger happened to ask about GER
tain Geordie Mckay. III
''He's dead lang ago." said Ills friend,
IAN I'll never cease regrettm' him as

On the contrary, men moved about say
ing that it was what we had been. eX-
pecting, and that we would die like
men. Lips were compressed, butt did
not see one pale face. This new an
nouncement created something like a
panic. Only six were to die. Thirty
two would be sent to prison, but all of
them would live to see home and friends
again. In 60 seconds the face of every
man was CHASTITY. In two minutes all
were trembling. Mild-eyed men glared
about them like wild beasts driven to
bay, and there were lips which bled
from the hard-set teeth.
Gentlemen, my clerk will call the
roll, and you will draw the BEANS" said
the officer, as he made ready. "Each
man must show his bean as he draws.
and those who draw black ones must
stand over by the windows. Now, then,
are you ready?''
The clerk could speak and write
English, and he had our names in al
phabetical order. The first name called
was that of Arson, and he hesitated
q few seconds before advancing. Did
anyone hope he would draw a black
bean? l believe that every man of us
hoped so. It would better our own
