The church was very tastefully decora-
lilies, which gave bright and cheerful
effect. The contrasting green and white
proved most pleasing symbol of the
character of the day. Elegant cut flowers
were placed before the pulpit with affec-
Tomato hands to the memory of Mrs.
Franklin Agge and Mr.. George A. Hun
ston. An interested congregation, which
completely filled the church, listened
with appreciation to the service.
The excellent sermon by Rev. Mr.
Pratt was from Romans VI, s.: "For il
we have become united with him BY the
likeness of His death, we shall be also by

CHURCH oF THE MESSIAH.

| Easter services at the Church of the
Messiah were exceedingly interesting,
and the house was packed to oyerfowing
| special notice. AS 1t Began to Dawn, -
and 'Christ Our Passover were very
| finely rendered. A solo by Miss Cobb,
THE Resurrection. was sung most
effectively, and was one of tho marked
features of the programme. Miss Cobb
has but recently been engaged to sing for
this church and the whole choir has been
changed, in fact, within few months,
and is now one of the best in the city. 1t

The pastor delivered very able and
eloquent sermon from the words, "As we
have borne the image of the earthly, we
shah also bear the image of the heaven
| ly." The platform about the pulpit re-
sembled garden of flowers. All the
available spaoo was filled with potted
plants and vases containing variety of
cut flowers Very noticeable and atrrao-

height, which was placed on the left of
the platform made of evergreen and stud

EFFECTS OF ANTlTOxINE.

Its Use In Germany Followed by Most
Beneflcent Results.
Statistics showing the effect of the
use of diptheria antitoxine in the Ger
man cities of Halle and Altoona were
recently published, says the New York
Times. Between November IL, 1894,
and January 10 of this year, ia cases
were subjected to the serum treatment
in Halle, and the reports come from
thirty physicians. There were only
nine deaths, or a mortality of less than
8 per cent. OF eighty-nine cases treated
in private houses, six had fatal ter
mination, and there were three deaths
out of the remaining twenty-five cases,
which were treated in hospitals.
In hospital at Altoona antitoxine
was used in sixty-three cases between
September /, 1894, and March /, 1895.
Eight of the patients died, so that the
mortality was 1860 per cent. In
thirty-one of the sixty-three cases
tracheotomy was required, but only
three of these patients, or less than 10
per cent, succumbed to the disease.
This is regarded as a remarkable rec.
ord for series Of cases of this kind.
The annual mortality from diphtheria
in this hospital during the preceding
seven years had ranged from a9.23 to
37.27 per cent.

METAL OF THE STANDARDS.
Nature Furnishes No IMMORAL Suitable for
the Purpose.

Nature Furnishes No Mineral Suitable for
the Purpose.
There are no products Of human skill
on which a greater degree of care is ex-
pended than the standards of weight
and measure in use among the civilized
nations of the globe. Two things in
particular have to be considercd-accu-
racy and durability. Nature does not
furnish any single metal, or mineral,
which exactly answers the require
ments for standard of measure or
weight that shall be, as nearly as posi-
bic, unalterable.
The best substance yet produced for
this purpose is an alloy of ninety per
cent. of platinum with ten per cent OF
iridium. This is called iridio-platinum,
and it is the substance of which the
new metric standards prepared by the.
international committee of weights and
measures are composed.
1t is hard, it is less affected by heat
than any pure metal, it is practically
uncomfortable, or not subject to rust,
and it can be finely engraved. In fact
the lines on the standard meters are
hardly visible to the naked eye, vet
they are smooth, even, sharp and accu-
rate.
If our civilization should ever be lost,
and relics of it should be discovered in
some brighter age in the remote future,
there is nothing which would bear
higher testimony to its character than
these standard measures of iridio-plat-
mum for the production and preserve
ton of which the science of our day has
done its very best

Visor to One Man.
One of the best men in Stafford
county, Va, SAYS the New York Sun,
was running for supervisor OF the
county, and, as usual when really
good man runs for office, there was
vigorous opposition to him. Some OF
it was expected, but when one ignorant
but influential old fellow came out
against the candidate, the friends OF
both parties were surprised, and one OF
the candidates supporters immediately
went to see the old man.
"Is it actually true that You are
against our man for SUPERVISOR" asked
the friend when he had led up to the
point.
"Of course am" responded the old
man, firmly.
But he is one of the best men in the
whole county," argued his friend.
II amt doubtin' that at all, only I
can't vote for him."
"Why not?"
"'Cause won't vote fer no man I'M
der them circumstances"
Under what circumstances?" in
quired the friend in the greatest as
Constituent, for up to that time no
circumstances" had appeared in the
campaign.
"Why, wantin' two offices at once,
like he does" explained the kicker.
"I'm willin' to vote fer him fer super,
but I'll be derned eff I'm goin' to vote
fer him fer visor, and you can tell him
SO eff you want to-"
Thereupon the friend of the candi-
date organized an individual education
al campaign, and by his delicate di-
plomacy brought the old man up to the
trough in MOOD shl ne.
