Fan or Handkerchief.

a good many phrases connected with
gloves have come into common parlance
during the few centuries that have
elapsed since they were first introduced
and prove that they always played an i'm
portant part For instance. 10 be hand IN
glove with any one expresses a particu-
larry close and intimate understanding
between two people. A. cat in glove
catches no mice indicates that work re-
curing skin and promptness needs very
downright handling To throw down the
glove or gauntlet IS in action Of defiance
10 pick it up Is TO accept the challenge
or reiterate To fit like a love is a smile
for all that can be desired in the com
fort OF a garment. To give ones self
lglOves is to boast. Closely glOved is
another way Of saying that a person is
avaricious: 10 remark that his gloves are
always large is TO credit him with a
generous disposition. In Germany It IS not
uncommon 70 remark that there is n
glove on the hearth. when we should
say. Little pitchers have long ears" or
walls have ears" An elastic material
is frequently said 20 stretch Ike a glove,
but the phrase has another Specification,
and that is to be Of an easy temper and
ready 70 accommodate ones self TO cir
cumstances.
As the language Of the fan is of Spanish
origin, so the language Of gloves comes
from italy, and the earliest gloves were
made and worn In that country. though
they were introduced into Northern Eu-
rope IN the middle ages. The very first
were OF fine leather, deicately embrOid-
cred. jeweled and perfumed. and all the

THE QUEENS BOTH BIRTHDAY

Mr.. EpIToR:-Queen Victoria 5 s0th
birthday, which occurred ON Wednes-
day, May cath, caused me to look back
on my life's short history How we'll
remember when Queen Victoria was
crowned Queen of England, siXty-two
years ago and how l helped to celebrate
that event by walking in procession as
a Sunday school scholar and receiving
my bum and coffee. This was repeated
when she was united in marriage to
Prince Albert. At that time | lived in
Stockport, England.
But one of the grandest sights of my
life was when for the first time in her
life she visited the North of England.
On that occasion the Sunday schools,
perhaps for twenty miles in every direc-
tion, assembled i'll Stafford Park, Man
chester, where platforms were erected
on both sides of the main avenue
through which the Queen and her re-
tinue. including the old Iron Duke of
Wellington, were to pass. These plat
forms almost as far rs eye could reach,
were literally crowded with officers,
teachers, scholars and friends of the
Sabbath schools II was arranged, as
the Queen passed along the avenue, to
sing the national anthem "God save
the Queen, but everybody WAS so
anxious to see the Queen as to forget
the singing and it was turned into n
hurrah. Such a sight | never expect
to see again.
But there will be another large gath
ering when the King of Kings, called
the "Son of Man, - shall come. Before
Him shall be gathered all nations.
You and |, Mr.. Editor, will be there.
God grant that we may be found amount

of the First Baptist Church gave their
monthly social on Wednesday evening
last in the lecture room. The Philethen
Glass of young ladies', nm organization
similar to the Baraea, decorated the
rooms with palms, ferns, cut flowers
and screens, making them very beanti-
full and attractive in appearance.
Tables were arranged with various
games, magazines, papers and pictures,
all of which were greatly enjoyed. 1t
was Ladies' night" and the invita-
ton included the wives and lady friends
of the members of the Class One
hundred and thirty-five persons were
present and all entered heartily into
the social enjoyments of the evening,
at the appointed time the assemblage
was called to order and fine musical
program was presented with piano
duet by Mrs. ii. Il. Scarborough and
Miss Nellie Hunt. A vocal solo by Miss
Nellie Hunt and two vocal solos by Mr.
Chetwood Van Solver. DR.. II. A. Gordo
gave detailed account of the history
of the Baraea Glass in the First Baptist
Church and of the growth of the or
ganization in the United States.
Refreshments consisting of ice cream
and cakes were then served in the
Church parlors by the young men
detailed for that purpose. The various
committees under the direction of Mr..
Edgar Thatcher and Watson Harrison
discharged their duties effectively and
made possible pleasant and happy
evening for all
The Baraca Glass in the First Baptist
Church has had wonderful growth,
organized, January IS, 1899, with four
teen members, it has now an enrolled
membership of eighty men, and an
attendance at the session for Bible
Study every Sunday afternoon, of about
sixty. The membership is increasing
every week, and when it is borne in
mind that these men for the most part
were not connected with any Sunday
School, the gain is n very substantial
one.
Mrs. Florence b. Cordo is the teacher
of this large class, and has been greatly
encouraged by the earnest and reverent
attention given to her instruction and
by the conversion of several of the
young men during the past few weeks.
During the summer, lawn socials,
pic-nics and excursions are to be ar
ranged from time to time for the class
and their numerous friends. Many
other features, interesting and attract
i've, are in contemplation for future
