Pin-Money.

The word pin-money is not much
used nowadays, and when it is. is ant
to be used loosely. It is often en-
ployed to mean an allowance by "a
father or husband for daughters or
wife's extra expenses. But it's proper
significance is a Woman's allowance
for all her personal outlay, whatever
b it may be. The origin Of the term is
somewhat singular. Long after the in
vention of pins, in the fourteenth cen
fury, the maker was permitted to sell
them openly the LIST and I'd Of January
only, when the English court and city
ladies crowded to the shops to buy
them, having been, provided by their
fathers and husbands with money for
4 the purpose. After pins had become
plentiful and cheap, women spent their
nor-,y for other things; but pin-money
remained in vogue. The opinion, often
expressed, that pins were invented in
France, during the reign Of Francis I.

The scarf is made of an entire width
OF plaid silk about two yards long. It
passes over the left shoulder down to
the right side of the waist, where the
ends from the back and front meet and
cross, thence passing around the waist.
The fullness is puckered into folds that

The Care of Shoes.

Mary jane would like to be tolt
how to take care OF her shoes. They
get out of shape and do not last at all.
She gets them wet and they never seem
to dry, and are most uncomfortable.
Answer: Shoes that are wet should be
filled with dry oats. It is worth while
to keep a paper bag of oats for this
purpose. Make bag shaped like the
foot Of stocking, put it in the shoe,
fill it with oats, tie it at the top or
ankle with strong string and put
the shoes in rather cool place. Rub
them frequently with the finest harness

Tired Feet.


When a woman finds that the instep
OF the foot is tired, she should change
her stockings for thin ones, and put
on slippers with totally different heel
from that Of the shoes she took off,
either higher or lower, as the case
may be-. Then she should lie down,
turn upon her face, and place pillow
under the insteps of both feet, SO that
every inch of the breadth of her feet
should rest upon the pillow. When
this is done, the foot is at ease. The
muscles rest and strengthen, and the
beautiful arch of the instep is preserv-
ed, Possibly some may think this is
nonsense, but let them try the above
plan of resting when very tired, and
they will be surprised to find out how
successful it really is.

AFALsE IMPRESSION,
EDITOR GRENADA SENTINEL:

EDITOR GRENADA SENTINEL:
There is common impression among
many that protestant pastors do not
stand by their people in times Of yellow
fever and cholera epidemics; but
statistics prove otherwise. The Meth
oaist church alone has lost 50 of her
ministers in the last hundred years
from yellow fever and cholera-mostly
from the former. The figures are fur
nished US by Rev. G. W. Bachman, and
he did not have access 10 all the gen.
eral minutes from 1910 to 1914 inclu-
sive. These were regular itenerant
preachers. Now if we knew how many
OF our local brethren 'actiug as pastors
have died at such times, there would
be perhaps not less than one hundred.
Let US suppose that the pastors OF ali
the other Protestant churches have
been just as faithful and you will have
some idea how these men OF God have
stood at their post Of duty during such
trying ordeals. During the present
| epidemic, so far as we have been able
to learn, not one pastor has forsaken
his people. This is just as it should be-.
No pastor ought to recklessly rush into
danger, neither should he leave his
people in times Of trouble. All honor
! to those at Oxford, Water Valley, Jack.
son, and other points for the heroic
manner in which they have stood at
| their posts Of duty during these sad and
awful times.

A CARD OF THANKS
From the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

For the people of Grenada, land by
request of the Board Of Aldermen, we
hereby tender our heart felt thanks
and earnest appreciation. of the faith
full service rendered by the volunteer
guards, who so nobly left their CON-
Portable homes and business, and stood
GUARD through the long days and dreary
nights, even though the continual
down-pour of rain, during a great
part Of the time was enough to cause a
true and tired soldier to desert his
post of duty. Wealso wish to tender
our thanks and appreciation to our
Health Officer, Dr.. J. W. Young, who
was ever ready to give US advice and
service and toiled hard TO protect our
town and people from th!' terrible
disease, and at the same time using
every reasonable means to keep from
imposing hardships on any one, aud e .
pecially Our home people. And to
each and every citizen Of Grenada we
wish to express our thanks for :heir
aid in maintaining our quarantine.
While some Of US may have di6a,ed
and thought we had cause to complain,
but now as we feel that we have es.
capped the fever, we are sure that we
can NIL forgive and forget and be
thankful to our Almighty God that He
has been 20 merciful to US in giving uf
this protecting care, and tiding us safe
ly through this trying ordeal. For with
all of our quarantine and true guards
even though the laws we're the best
and the guards the truest-we could
not have escaped had it not been for
His omnipotent care ard merciful pro-
lection. Therefore let US all in our
humbleness offer up thanks to our
Supreme Ruler and All'wise God.

Who does not recollect the terrible riot that oc-
Cured in 1882 against the Jews, when men were
murdered women outraged and children dashed to
pieces and burned alive; whole streets of Hebrews
were razed to the ground and desolated by fire;
thousands OF families reduced to beggary and ban

and villages felt the scourge of this persecution;
when three hundred houses and shops were Numbered

months ago in the city of Minsk, where MANY Jews
were either killed or left penness and where after
