Tying knots in handkerchief to jog
ones memory had its origin in China
thousands of years ago. Before writing
was invented in that country, which
did not happen until 5000 B. c., memo
rable and important events were record.
ed by long knotted cords. The most an
cient history of China is still preserved
as told by these knots.
When Emperor Tschang Ri invented
writing, the entire system of "knot-

are used in speaking; hence the STUN

The voice sticks in the throat" to use
the words of Virgil. In some cases
speech is for short time impossible, as
Is seen where a person is said to be
'speechless with rage. The hoarseness
OF the voice is due partly to the fact
that passion causes an overaction Of
all the organs, partly by the fact that
for generations harsh and fierce sounds
have been made use of to terrify oppo-
nents IN quarrels, and so have come to
be associated instinctively with anger.
Possibly the fact also has its influence
that the utterance of sounds such as
those referred to is in some way or the
other a relief to the feelings.

Church Entertainments.

York daily. It took place in church
which had just been the scene Of a
great religious revival, and was given
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Temperance League.
One of the most popular church en-
tertainments is the tom Thumb
Wedding" Description 10 needless,
as unfortunately most towns and cities
have witnessed this absurd travesty of
that holy estate which our church
liturgies tell US ''should be entered
soberly and In the fear of God," and
which involves the most solemn of
earthly vows and responsibilities. Two
infantile midgets, with their tain of
baby attendants and the parsphernalia
of q real wedding, go through with
this mock ceremony, while grown peo-
pie who should hide their heads in dis
gust. look on and applaud. Worst of
all, this ridiculous performance takes
place in q hurchl
The object of all these theatrical
shows is the making of money to be
used for church purposes. 1t would
be better for any church to go under
than to replenish it's finances. by means
like these, to which many churches
that do not approve of them resort 10
sheer desperation.
The poverty of the majority of viii
lage and city churches which results in
constant and impOrtunate appeals for
help, proves that there are too many
churches. Better one strong, self sup
portip g church than half dozen weak,
Impoverished ones. There seems no
reason why Ongregations of the same
creed should not unite, since in union
there is always strength.
The church of the living God is in q
bad way, when, in order to support it..
self, it has to resort to the arts of me-
gro minstrelsy and the comic drama.
We have in mind one clergyman of
national reputation who melted the
enmity of his own and another con-
greeation in city not q thousand
miles from Minneapolis, by proposing
that the two, which were
of the same communion, should
unite and thus form one efficient
body free from debt and embarrsss-
ment. The proposal was secuted With
scorn and the clergyman returned to
| the large eastern city whence he came
to resume pastorship more in accord
ance with his principles and ideals
The church be left still struggles with
it's burden of debt and often feels COM
PEELED to exc out its narrow means by
grab bag socials and other like refined

| The church that would flourish must
cultivate the social element There IL
no objection to church entertainments
If they are of the right sort. They
may be made legitimate means OF
earning money. But to be true to the
spirit of it's Founder, the church must
be an exemplar to the world OF a.
things that are high and holy. hon
orable and of good report.

Many in this village have been on the

being Landlord Clarke and Postmaster
Hovey. The grip has never been more
prevalent and several cases of pneumo-
MIA among the younger people have been
reported. These are times when every
one should use care and not take cold.
Physicians say the grip is highly con.
tagous and no oae at this time should
90 into halls or other public places
where people congregate as the disease
is very much more liable to be con
tracted at such times where the air is
bad and half of the people are coughing
than in the quiet seclusion of your own
home. One of the essential things is to
avoid crowd. Use good sense at this
time and keep away from all public
places until the trouble is past. In all
probability you will not have to wait
long. The old adage "An ounce of
prevention is better than a pound of
cure" is timely.
