A laudable attempt on the part OF
Noting Hill clergyman to practically
Illustrate to the working class portion
OF his flock the combined benefits OF
religion and tankard Of beer has, we
regret to hear, proved uLszccessful.
The Rev. Prebendary Denison started
for.the social pleasure OF his congrega-
ton. q club, where the reverend gem
feman or his curate went, after dis
pensing theological pabulum IN the
church, and served the members with
beer and other corporal refreshments.
The idea was to keep them away from
public houses and to afford them hon
est recreation with reasonable amount
of tipple. By the rules no man could
be served with liquor more than three
times In the course Of night. But the
clergyman was unaware Of the degree
IL not of original sin at least of bibulous
ingenuity among the rougher classes of
Noting Hill. They evaded the rule
by clubbing together their twopences
and treating each other, so that in the
course of the evening a member was
able to obtain half dozen, or even
more, drinks, instead Of three. The re-
suit was sometimes unpleasant, and
the Prebendary has therefore reluct'
antly determined to give up the expert
ment.-London Telegraph.

AFRAID az f8.

"Son1e very funny questions come up
before the Internal revenue Office" said
a local Official Of the department the
other day. IAN illustration is the case
of cigar manufacturer who began
business short time ago and who was
assigned the number Is for his factory.
He did business for a while, when It
occurred to him that 10 was an unlucky
number. and he would not have 1t by
any means. He made application to

at Washington was amused when he
received the communication, but de-
clined to grant the request of the man

FEMININE sAvAGERY.

European women have craze for
tattooing at the moment. They cause
themselves to lie decorated with drag
ons, serpents, griffins and such things,
and call the figures photographs. The
Queen of Greece is said to have had
her ankle tattooed with some small
figure, and a Partisan woman, hearing
Of this, went her one better and had a
spider web tattooed on her shoulder.

The wife of the Rev. A. Z. Adams, pastor
OF the Bedford Christian Church at Bland
insyiile, H.. was for years compelled to
live life OF torture from disease. Her
case baflied the physicians, but to-day she
is alive and we'll, and tolls the story OF her
recoyerytas follows:
''About six years ago." said Mrs. Adams,

over until 1 thought had dropsy.
81 had pains and soreness in my left side
which extended clear across my back and
also into the region of my heart During
these spells hard ridge would appear in
the left side OF my stomach and around
the left side.
''These attacks left me sore and exhaust
ed. All last summer l was so nervous that
the children laughing and playing nearly
drove me wild. / suffered also from female
troubles and doctored with ten different
physicians without receiving any help.

THE PASSING OF THE YOKE.

In shirt waists the yoke is slowly, but
surely fading away. 1t is true one
would not believe this from the real
view. But in front there is the meres'
apology for yoke. 1t begins at the
top of the shoulder, is two inches wide
and hides itself almost entirely under
the necktie.
Most women are sorry to learn this
as a yoke can lend beauty and full
ness to the --LATEST chest, whereas ever
a woman with an ordinarily good fig
ure looks abnormally thin in its alb
sence. But the shirt waists on view
in the leading shops speak for them
selves. The day of the yoke belongs t.
sthe past.

vApoR BATHS.

Too much cannot be said In favor OF
yapor baths. 1t is very well to apply
lotions and creams to a diseased and
unlovely skin, but unless the result is
due to a skin affection solely, the relief
will be only temporary. The cause
must be removed. Nature throws on
impurities through the pores OF the
skin. and If the ducts become clogged
the impurities cannot pass out, but re-
turn to the system and create terrible
disturbance. Vapor baths empty all
the pores, and flood the channels, so to
speak. At the regular Turkish bath
establishments these baths are expen-
sive, but they can be taken at home
with small cost.

She Liked Sailing.

About twenty years ago steam
packet company of Liverpool wished I'd
buy q piece Of land which was owned
by a "stay-at-home spinster," as her
neighbors described her. She sold her
land at a very low price, but insisted
upon a clause being inserted in the
agreement giving her the right at any
time during her life to travel with q
companion in any Of the company's
vessels. When the agreement was
closed she sold her furniture and went
on board the first outgoing ship belong
Ing to the packet company. For years
this wise spinster lived nearly all the
time upon one ship or another, fire..
duently accompanied by companion,
according to the agreement This was
always a person who otherwise would
have been n regular passenger, but who
purchased her ticket at reduced rates
by paying the spinster instead Of the
packet company. The company offered
her more than twice the value of the
land If she would give up her privilege,
but this she would not do. Her reply
was: "You got the land cheap, and l
like sailing; so we ought both to be
satisfied" Magazine.
