OF this valuable acquisition to the library
reference works 5. G.. Drake, an eminent
authority, says This book presents u
with the outline of American genealogy

which all but the most enthusiastic vii
rest assured that the family is of recen
origin and will take other well.knowi

The services were of an especially inter
esting character at the Centre church sun
day. Following the morning service tn
Sunday school was introduced by selec
ton bT the church choir, the words o
which we're especially appropriate to tn
spirit of the lesson, which dwelt uPol
sailors and the perils of the sea, and an
other feature of the service was a selection
by a male quartet. At the close OF tn
study period it was voted to establish
sailors library to be put on board varOu
vessels in turn as they embark The eve
ming meeting was a union service wit
members of the Swedish Evangeica
church and the union society of Guiltor
in attendance. The subject was the SOW
= ing, cultivating and harvesting OF splritua
seed and the processes were treated r.
spectively and with great earnestness b
Rev. Mr.. Peterson of the Swedish church
Rev. Mr. Day of the Centre church an
Miss Billings, who is conducting the sci

| TO be the local agents. The bicycle Ia
been under test for months, and it
, claimed that it's shaft does not twist, th'
the gears remain true, and that the coz
| do not break. Another point in its fave
is that the bevel gear offers less resistant
due to friction than the best chain thu
can be built and for this reason the chair
p less will run easier than the chain whee
, The driving mechanism of the chainle!
is less complicated than the ordinai
I machine, and therefore is less liable to g
? out of order. Those who have ridden I'll
, wheel state that there is no give {
yielding as in the chain wheel, and that
, climbing hills and riding against the win
the chainless is much the easier runnin
wheel, and that it is easier to hold in con
ing down a hill. Mr.. Tones rode til
chainless wheel on the run Sunday whe
Mr.. Pratt accompanied seven of the whe
club boys to Winchester.
