CHURCH NOTES

On Sunday there was a much larger
congregation at church than usual to
hear Rev Mr. Page from North Branford,
who made very favorable impression on
the people. He was sent by Rev Mr.
Davies of New Haven, who preached
here the 10th. The meetings held in the
Methodist church on Friday evenings
will hereafter be in the house Of Sarah
Dwy.
There will be preaching in the Congre-
gational church, next Sunday.

When the steam first appears, the water
is merely simmering or sending up bub-
bles at the sides of the dish. In a few mo-
ments these bubbles will arise near the
center and finally in the center. It is diff
cult to watch the process of water coming
to the boiling point and finally boiling in
a teakettle, but 1t may be easily done in 8
wide mouthed saucepan. First the bub-
bies arise at the sides of the dish, because
the heat is greatest there. The water is
now simmering. In few seconds OF min
utes, as the case may be, the bubbles arise
nearer the center. The water may be said
now to be at the boiling point, but it has
not boiled. In q second or moment more
it is boiling in the center and all over.
When the bubbles reach this center point,
and not until then, is the water at the
temperature of 212 degrees r. It has not
boiled and is not ready until this tempegg-
ture is reached to cook eggs or to pake
coffee or for any process which calls for
boiling water. 1t is hardlyfnecessary to
state that there is no virtue in water that
has ceased to boil, although this is not the
opinion of the cook who persists in max
ing coffee OF tea with water that was boil
ing 10 or 80 minutes before.

In The Ladies' Homo journal Edward
W. Box writes on ss.rhe Answer Of q Girls
Life" discussing tho allegation made
against the American girl that she thinks
lightly OF the importance of hor ~betrothal.
sThe botrotlial, " Mr.. Box asserts, "shcuId
fbe just as sacred as the marriage. 1t Is
the grayer Of the two steps which bind
two people together, because it is the In
~itiatiye. Only tho most extraordinary cis-
cuInstances justify o breaking Of the be-
trothal. Only one other agency in life
alcohol-is responsible for more broken
hearts and wrecked lives thag broken n
gagements. 1t is highly necessary that
our girls should have a perfectly clear idea
of what a betrothal means or should mean
If it is a betrothnl In the sight of God. A
hasty impulse, the temporary swaying Of
a tumultuous, youthful passion, the on
fusion of admiration for affection, the
mistaking of respect for love-these are
not safe grounds for betrothals. 1t is never
to the credit of a girl in the eyes of men
that she has been engaged two or three
times. Girls should remember that. Too
often they think that men feel otherwise
or perhaps do not care. But men do-that
is, the men worth marrying. Al man locks
upon an oft engaged girl as he does upon
q peach with much of the bloom rubbed
off. Besides men generally conclude that
there is something wrong with such a girl.
The right kind of a girl will betroth her
self but once. An unhappy betrothal can
be just as keen q sorrow as an unhappy
marriage. It has darkened the life of mora
han one woman"

A casual observer wonld say there was
very little difference between the gowns
and costumes OF the Havanese ladies and
those seen in the large cities of the United
States or Europe. They catch on to the
prevailing fashions without much delay
and adopt them to the extent of their
purses. One does not see seal cloth or
other furs on the streets even in the win
ter months, when the thermometer is be-
tween 10 and so degrees, although / saw
one fur cape for sale in one of tES shops.
If a sale of them ever occurs, the purchaser
is undoubtedly one who contemplates a
trip north. Most of the women who ap-
pear on the streets in the daytime hood
their faces with black lace seaffs and use
ians to protect their faces from the sun.
Frequently you see young women walking
together dressed exactly alike. This is SO
frequent as to be noticeable to strangers.
On a Sunday afternoon ! noticed in front
of a fashionable residence five women,
probably members of the same family, all
gowned precisely alike, in a heliotrope
eolored fabric. It was suggested that tho
head of the family was pleased with the
goods and bought a whole piece. Very
few of the women are pretty, according to
the American standard of beauty. They
age early and rapidly and resort to cos
metics and powders to continue their
youthful looks long after their beauty, IL
they ever had any, has passed aWay.-St.

N.ea Of cover DurInr sleep.

The reason that it is necessary to be
well covered while sleeping is that when
the body lies down it is the intention OF
nature that it should rest, and the heart
especially should be relieved Of its regu-
lar work temporarily. So that organ
makes ten strokes a minut less than
when the body is in al upright posture.
This means 500 strokes in go minutes.
Therefore, in eight hours that a man usu-
ally spends in taking his. nights rest.
the heart is saved nearly 5000 strokes AS
1t pumps six ounces of blood with each
stroke, it lifts $4,000 ounces less of blood
in this night session than it would during
tbs day. when a man is usually in an up
right position. Now, the body is depend
emit for its warmth on the vigor or the cir
eulation, and as the blood flows so much
more slowly through the veins when one
is lying down, the warmth lost in the re-
duced circulation must be supplied by
extra coverings.

The Children's Clothes.

With regard to the care of b~oysselothes
q word or two may be said.
Proper brushing is a great matter.
If dust and dirt are allowed to remain
on cloth or serge garments they certainly
make men look very shabby. Wiping the
article over with q dampish cloth and
then allowing it to dry is a capital reno
vator.
For grease spots use benzine. Rub it
smartly on the spot, having placed a piece
of blotting paper underneath.
Another thing which always should be
seen to is the placing of loops on all articles
of wear-coats, dresses, etc. That small
thing. the loop, saves clothes very much If
it is used. If there are no loops and clothes
are hung up by the sleeve-a fayerite plan
mo wonder u~nsightly creases are made
and the things soon look shabby.

In the new Parliament in l735 the Mas
ter of the Rolls, Jekyll, made an extra
ordinary speech, changing his opinion
several times, .'and as often the party
which thought they had got him raared
out the Hear him. an exclamation
which was evidently the origin of the now
familiar Hear, heart says the London
Telegraph Colonel Howard on a prev
ious occasion had deferred to VERY loud
heerum's frorI the Ministerial bench.
This suggests that 'shim,'' first became
scted to s'um., and that in the
course of time the primary meaning be-
came lost, and a second hear was SUBJ
stituted for a sound unintelligible to lat
err members. But the earliest form was
Gistinguishable even SO late as 1870, under
which date Sir G. o. Trevelyan, in is
Life of Fox refers to the use of "Hear

The chronological journal says: Don't
neglect your house drains or the drainage

family health is a dry and sweet atmos-

in foul gases, half the battle for good
health is won. Pure drinking water is in
~dispensable for health at home or any

STUDYING HANDWRITING.


G~raphology is the little accomplishment
thai the girls are %equipping themselves
with. now that paImistry has run its race
and is no longer talked about. To make a
tedious visit seem less long, or as a spur
to a tagging conversation, 1t comes in very
well. In fact, it was a clever woman that
said she always kept some accomplish
men up her sleeve with which TO amuse
the people that couid not amuse her.
The study of graphic is not too intense.
and quickly engages the attention of all.
1t is also an accomplishment that, aided
by a keen observation, is easily acquired.
On the subject there are a umbe of
good authorities, and q little practice
after reading them carefully will soon en-
able to detect the prominent traits
of character by the handwriting.
The artistic temperament and literary
ability are readily seen. Ardor, vehem-
enee, p~ertinacity, the talents, eandor and
recklessness all write themselves out
iaantingly. In fact, the cardinal viz
tues and faults often display themselves
in the handwriting when we, alas! inn
agine that we have schooled them to keep
in the background.
After looking into the art it is of inter-
est to note how differently we glance at
the writings OF our friends than formerly.
On reading a note tina has the as and os
left open at the top we smile and say, a
good natrred babbler; If the writing
slants down toward the right we shake
our heads and think a melancholy dispo-
siti0n. A certain way of crossing the is
fatty mean s-tubbofnness. while an up
ward flourish denotes imagination.
Graphology can not be used as a means
of fortune telling, but in the majority of
cases it is a good guide to knowing the
temperament of the writer.
Not long ago a young hostess made use
of this fad to amuse the guests at a
luncheon she was giving. The answers to
her Invitations she sent to an expert in
the art of graphology. and laid his de-
lineation of each character by the side
of the guests plate. They were artistic
ally arranged in the form Of menus.
When the last course was on the table
they were read in turn, and the result
was no end of fun and merriment.
This would hardly be possible at a for
NAL luncheon, where all are putting forth
their best traits in their best clothes, for
sometimes rather disagreeable character
istics are bluntly commented upon At
the above mentioned function it did not
matter, as the women were all inti-
mate friends, and when one of the num-
Der unhesitatingly read out Negregiously
selfish there was a shout of laughter
and she was reminded of nov she used
to eat up the greater part of the choco-
late cake in school days.-Chieago Rec
