SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Sam" Jones, the Georgia evan
gelist, gets $4,000 and his expenses for
his months revival work in Boston, ac-
cording to the Transcript.
1t is said of Sidney Eanier that mu-
sic was to him a necessity. He literally
lived in a world of music. He was al
ways hearing melodies, and when he
improvised had only to play them.
Rev. DIR. William Prall, rector of st.
Johns Episcopal church, Detroit, was
married the other day to Miss Helen
Lothrop, of Detroit. DR.. Prall was
rising politician of New Jersey few
years ago. He entered the Episcopal
ministry, however, and for a time was
rector of an Episcopal church in one of
the Oranges.
1t is an interesting fact, brought
ont by the recent anniversary of the
Scotch church, that DR.. Vermilye, so
long senior pastor of the collegiate
church, was at the age of IA student
at Yale college, by the aid of funds pro-
vided by the Scotch church. DR.. Mason,
pastor of the Scotch church, taught him
Latin and Greek.
The Boston Transcript says: "Rev.
DR.. Isaac Lansing has decided to re-
sign the pastorate of Park Street
church, but the society must pay him
$500 for so doing, in addition to $1,000
which he claims as his salary to March
81. Dr. Lansing does not look upon the
amount of money as n bonus, for he
declares that the action of the church
committee has placed him in an unfavor-
able light before other societies, which
is likely to affect his future prospects
seriously"
The Protestant Episcopal church,
or at least certain section of it, is con
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of employing
cvangelists or clay readers more ex-
tensively. Even the conservative Church
Standard has been arguing for their
employment, suggesting that there is a
field where the lay evangelist is spe-
cialy needed and where the ordained
minister cannot take his place. Com
mon sense" it says, "rebels against the
notion, which is without warrant of
Holy Scriptures, that the work of evan
gelization by preaching the Gospel with
the living voice is q peculiar prerogative
of any order in the church, however
sacred :"

WASHINGTON HOME SOLD.
Ancient Seat of English Ancestors of
the First President.


A few days ago there was brought to
the hammer in Durham county, Eng
land, building of more than little
interest to Americans because of its
associations. 1t is old Washington hall,
an early home Of ancestors of the first
president of the United States. For gen.
erations the place was the seat of the
Washington family and it is one of the
few existing properties mentioned in
the Domesday Book, but for all that
the hall and the ground adjoining it
brought in the market only $2,023.
From q commercial point of view this
is perhaps all that it is worth, for the
building is fast falling to ruin, and of
the property which once went with it
only small plot of ground is left, but
the historical and sentimental interest
which attaches to it gives it a value con-
siderably above the price paid.
Washington hall dates from the early
part of the seventeenth century and was
built by William james, bishop of Dur
ham. The structure is of stone, with
mulloned windows and boldly-project-
ing porches. At one end there is
large outstanding chimney. But the
connection of the Washington family
with the manor goes far back of the
date of the erection of the hall. In the
first half of the twelfth century Will
liam de Hertburnr held Washington,
save the church and its lands, in eN-
change for Hertburne, near Stockton
on-Tees. Either this William de Hert-
burne or one of his immediate success
sors assumed the local name. William
de Washington is mentioned as wit
ness to charters of the bishop of Dur
ham between 1860 and 1874. Washing
ton Irving, when tracing the genealo-
gy of the Washington family, proved
clearly that George Washington was
descended from these Washingtons, of
Durham.
Toward the close of the fourteenth
century the direct male line expired,
the daughter of the last of the name
marrying Sir William Tempest, of
Studley. The manor then passed sue
cessively into other families and was
divided into several parts. From time
to time portions of it were sold until
there remained only the hall aud
grounds. The local authorities, desir-
ing to make new cemetery, purchased
the property, and, having no use for
the old mansion, decided to sell that
with as much of the land as was not
needed. The present owner is Mr.. Jo-
teph Dickinson, Washington trades
man.-Chicago Tribune.

HOW MARGERY DID 1T.
She Had Promised to De Richards
Wife and That Settled 1t.

Wife and Tint Settled 1t.
When the girl went to London for
visit her brother recommended that she
should pray for good husband at the
most celebrated shrines. While, how
ever, she was supposed to be looking
TO Heaven and her family searching on
earth for man with just the right
LIVELIHOOD" Margery's heart chose a
husband for her, and her heart made
the fatal mistake of choosing without
sny thought of the real merit conferred
by real estate. The foolish girl en-
gagged herself to Richard Gale, a bailitf
in the service of her eldest brother.
Her family were indignant at the idea
of such u marriage. Practical John, the
younger, wrote scornfully that if ali
the others gave their consent he would
never give his that his sister should sell
mustard and candles at birmingham.
which would probably be the elegant
occupation of Dame Gale.
However, if the girl had really prom
Used, the match could not be broken
off. If she had given her word to Rich
ard Gale she was bound to marry him.
Everything depended on what she had
said, and her lover besought her to re-
peat it boldly. Gale felt sure that when
the girls family knew she had prom
ised they would not dare to interfere.
81 suppose they will not damn their
souls for u.s." he wrote, calling her his
true wife before Cod" The bishop
consented to examine Margery to see if
her words had really made matri-
mony." The girl pluclled up courage
at the examination, and, after repeat
ing what she had said to her lover, add
ed that 'if those words made it not
sure" she would make it surer ere she
went thence. That settled the mat
ter; her mother could do nothing;
Margery had promised, and she must be
allowed to fulfill her words.-Lippin-
colts.

How STYLES Are ORIGINATED.

The head of one of the large millinery
houses in Paris explained the other day
to an inquirer how fashions were orig
mated. His private Office is a quaint
little place hung with bookshelves,
which contain bound volumes of every
fashion plate ever printed in Paris.
Endless old plates and engravings are
included. He took down book of
Louis WI. plates with the remark:
There are five artists at the head of
our 60 workmen, who sit at table with
these Louis XVI. places before them.
They do not copy; they are simply in
spired with ideas from looking at these.
Then the finished result is put in the
showroom to try it on the public"

Creamed Oysters ON nalf shell.

Pour in a saucepan cupful of hot
water, another of milk and one of
cream; add a little salt. Set into a
double boiler until it boils, then stir in
two tablespoonfuls of arrow root or
corn starch wet with milk. By this
time the shell should be washed and
buttered and fine oyster laid within
each; clam shells are better. Arrange
them closely in large baking pan. Stir
the cream very brisllly and fill up each

HILLS SHIFT IN THE NIGHT.
Sandy Death Traps of Kansas That
Puzzle Scientists.


Puzzle Scientists.
The broad expanse of level prairie
which makes up the greater portion Of
central Kansas is broken in one place
by a range of hills whose origin is
question that has puzzled scientists.
The prairies are very easily explained.
They are simply the bed OF former
sast ocean. But here, in the middle OF
this vast ocean, is n miniature noun
tain chain, as distinct faOm the sur
rounding land as if it had dropped from
the skies.
The hills stretch from near Lyons,
Kan, to Hutchinson, a distance of about
rs miles. They form the arc of circle
and are on the average four miles IN
width. The curious feature of them is
that they are made up wholly of sand,
composed of fine, diamond-shaped par
ticles, so light that they seek new po-
sition at every breeze, and breezes IN
Kansas are too common to be noticeable.
These beds of sand are much given to
shifting. A heavy wind will move
whole acres of them. Hills so feet in
heipht will be transferred little by lit
tie distance of 100 yards, and road
between mounds will be found the next
day entering the very bowels of single
hill There is no limit to the curious
tricks the eddying storms will play with
the sand.
In many places, however, long pc
Rod of quiet weather has permitted
turf to form that can withstand the ac-
ton of the elements. In these spots
much fruit is raised, the best of which is
wild plum. But if one digs through
this turf the sand is found beneath and
extends downward to the old prairie
level. At this point begin the soil, lime
stone strata and conglomerate, exactly
the same as in all the rest of the region.
This fact proves that the hills were
placed here after the surface formation
had been completed. and further cor
roboration is found in the substance
buried beneath the hills. Behring'S have
uncovered great cottonwood trees, with
the branches all intact, and bones OF
antelope and sandhill crane-two ami
mails which still lnger in this unfre-
quented region, though otherwise al
most driven from the state. Even hui
man bones have been dug up, the re-
mains, probably, of early travellers.
Under these conditions, especially if the
storm is rotary like the famous tornado,
this region forms a natural deathtrap.
No satisfactory explanation of the
hills has ever been advanced. Early and
less well-informed Investigators thought
they might be the remnant of some
heavenly body which by chance had
encountered the earth after the surface
formation was practically finished.
Some even went SO far as to declare
them to be the remnant of the nucleus
of a comet.-San Francisco Examiner.

TURKISH BATH AT HOME.

quilt. Attachment with the household
electric system will give all the cur
rent that is needed.
In case the heat is excessive and
threatens to scorch the bather, there is
fuse at one end of the quilt which in
stantly melts at the danger point, and
the current is shut off automatically.
Physicians who have tested the new
thermogen believe it will be great aid
to them in connection with the operat-
ing table. In long operations where arti-
fetal means are required to sustain the
patients temperature, instead of hot
blankets and hot water now in use, the
electric quilt will give steady and even
temperature. 1t will also be used in
eases of chronic rheumatism. The in
ventor claims for his idea that the
household uses for it are without num-
Der.
The thermogen will be of the greatest
value to persons who have just taken
n chill. Sometimes they do this at an
hour when it is impossible to obtain hot
water, and in any case the heating sys
tenn of the quilt is said to be more bene-
fetal than water. A man comes home
tired and chilled, slips into the quilt
and, perhaps, a dangerous illness is
averted. 1t should be the means of saw
ing many lives.
After using the quilt it will be found
pleasant to take a cold sponge bath.
This can be taken with comfort after
the body has been generally heated by
the thermogen. There are many too
delicate to stand immersion in cold wa
ter, still the quilt, it is claimed, will be

Great Engineering Feat.

The Great Eastern Railway company,
which has been doing some great feats
of late in replacing in single night
some of its bridges which span rivers,
beat it's own record one night recently,
when, in spite of a severe snowstorm,
the bridge over the River Lea to the
south of Tottenham station, on the
main line, was replaced by a new
bridge, the old one being removed and
the new one placed in stu in nine hours.
The old bridge was moved and the new
one put in its place by the same process
