eyes and clasped hands. being followed by
the two other Marys and four angels. The
Virgin is represented by Il young girl OF 9

filled with ecstasy. a golden aureoie sur
rounds her head. and a long pale blue
siiken garment enfoldS her.
The choir. which is hidden. takes up the
refrain of the old manuscript said to have
been found with the image. and the words
of the hymns resound through the arches.
on the left wall is hung u cage. which is
meant for the Garden of GethSemane. be-

ring out the words of her lamentation.
While Mary prays the vault above her

ONE-TENTH FOR THE LORD.

"Forgot my Nickel" mumbled
the boy with the gold watch.
"Spent all my money yesterday"
laughed the one with the spiked
toad shoes.
"Saving up to buy bike" said
the one with his hands IN his
pockets.
The envelope passed around tho
class, returning to the teacher with
six cents. Everybody knew who
put in that nickel and penny. 1t was
the boy who earned sixty cents a
week carrying newspaper route.
Ills trousers were too short for his
fast-lcngthoning legs, and his care
fully polished shoes showed break
here and there; but ono. tenth Of
his earnings was given without fail
into the Lords treasury.

Fine Hair. Second Growth ut tho Age Of 1

William Long of Punsntawncy,
81 years of age, has a luxuriant
growth Of t.ne hair, like tho hair of
a 3-year-old child. Two years ago
he was as bald as q brass doorknob.
He began washing it regularly and
rubbing his scalp with a rough tow
el. A growth Of fuzzy hair began
to appear. Now it is four or five
inches long and exactly resembles
the hair of ohild-tine, brown and
glossy with not a suggestion of
gray.
