again, after the long winter. On il

Some very funny things sometimes CREEP
into the schoolroom. A few days ago the
class in physiology had the subject ''as.
phyxia" for it's morning lesson. Wishing
to impress upon the pupils the necessity Of
being ready for an emergency, the teacher
asked one of the mcmbcrs of the class to
state what she would do in case some one
was brought in who was supposed to be
drowned. The young lady very promptly
answered, clay the person fiat on his back,
with his face downward. = 1t is needless
to say that closed the recitation for that
day. Washington Pathfinder.

Church.

Sunday school pupils gave a house-warm-
ing in their quarters of the building. and
raised neat sum for the furnishings.
1t has been finally decided that tho
church shall be formally opened for wor-
ship on November Z. and the day will be
marked with special ceremonies. When
Bishop Nichols returns from his European
trip the new edifice will be con>ec- ated
Rev. Floyd Mynard, rector of st. Johns,
has outlined a plan for tic furnishing of
the new church, and hopes that some of
its wealthy mem bers Will be lea to make
some handsome donations of necessary
furniture. Old St. Johns was the most
historical church of the city, and many O
its most solid supporters have passed
away, and a few have gone to St. PauPs
but there has been very little change in
its congregation since the fire that con.
sumed the old church over a year ago,
and the rector saws that when the new
building is being used for public worship
the me m bership will soon increase Since
the fire the services have been held in
California Hall, and this circumstance
has not been favorable 10 the upnuilding
of the congree alton, but worshiping will
be conducted there only one more Sunday
after to morrow.
Just when old st. Johns was destroyed
an attempt was being made to cause a
unification of St. PauPs and ST. Johns,
but this idea has been completely dis
pelled.
