CHURCH FEDERATION
Meets and Decides to Push the Anti
Slot Machine Nothing
was Given Out for Publication.

yesterday Afternoon, at the Y. NJ. C.
A. building, the Church Federation
met and discussed the failure of coun-
ell to pass the waterhouse resolution,
instructing the chief of police to sup
press the slot machines. The members
of the Federation declined to give out
anything to the press.
1t is learned. however. that the Fed
Grafton intends to push Its fight, and 1t
is said the first step Will be an attempt
TO have the second branch OF council
reconsider It's action Of tablIng the Wa
terhouse resolution. To do this 1t would
be necessary, first, to have the motion
to reconsider introduced by a council
man who voted In the affirmative, It is
said the Federation believes the second
branch would go It's way IL there we're
a full attendance.
The Federation discussed other plans
OF campaign, and 1t is said one was to
proceed against the machines through
actions before justices Of the peace.

a rhcusbsless Habit

Long before the average child under

sion between two solid bodies he has
contracted the habit OF wetting his
thumb every few seconds while turning
the pages OF book. The practice is a
most Objectionable one. and mothers
and teachers should discourage II for

grounds OF simple refinement. Fancy

como serious disease of the mouth and

va to the porous paper to be in turn
carried to the mouth OF the next one to
perform the same operotioni Unhap-
PLY, it is practlced by older people,
and by many that ought to know bet
ter. The baker, for instance, intro
duces his thumb or forefnger between
his lips when he takes a sheet OF paper
from a pile OF sheets to wrap the rolls
or cake that you buy at his shop. Per-
haps the dainties do not touch the
identical spot of contamination, but
again perhaps they do, conveying
carries or some other taint of impurity
to the eater. The librarian handling
library cards sometimes forgets him
self in tho same way; so do people ar

bank notes. Because done innocently
and unconsciously. the practice is none
the less prejudicial to health and Of

The oldest school In the United
States is now in daily session at Pine
hurst, Summerville, s. c., says the New
York Journal. Uncle Sans paternal
and financial part in the institution
makes 1t of interest to the nation. It
is situated in the heart OF the tea lands
about Summerville, and its odd feature
is the curriculum. Under the super
vision of a competent teacher thirty
South Carolina plckaninnies are
taught the three old fashioned RS
''readin', 'ritin' and 'r'thmetic"-and
tea picking And the last is not the
least important study. The rapid de-
velopment of tea raising in the South
has received additional impetus from
the announced intention of Sir Thomas
Upton to invest s500,O00 in tea cul-
ture in South Carolina. Sir Thomas is
familiar with the soil and climatic
conditions of the state. having at one
time worked as laborer on a rice
plantation in Georgetown county.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture is taking a lively interest
in the tea school," and has given 1t
financial aid.

TROUBLE WITH THE TIBER.
It Is Duo to In-CaIcuIated Engineering
Operations.

Owing to ill-calculated engineering
operations by which the northern
branch of the river by the Tiber island
was deepened a few years ago. the
southern branch, which skirts the form
or Ghetto, has dried up into a heavy
bank of muddy sand, and this is its
normal state. making Ut will be under
stood) the island of st. Bartolommeo
as ridiculous as a swan on land, says
the London Globe. The absurd aspect
OF 1t Is the more accentuated because
the Ponte Fabricio or Quatro-capi,
winch unites the island to the south
ern bank, happens to be both the old
est and best preserved bridge in Rome,
dating from SO B. c., and being COM
posed OF two bold side arches and a
small central flood arch. On rare oc-
casions, however, after heavy down
falls, the river. rising in its wrath, sue
ceeds In reasserting its ancient do
minion, and we see the beautiful bridge
built by Fabricus spanning the waters
sent down from Monte Pattino and
Ansciano. Such rise has taken place
during the last three days, in conse-
quence of which the forum is inun-
dated by means Of the cloaca maxima,
while the foaming yellow flood has
reached height of but three feet be-
low the little Franciscan garden be-
longing to the church OF st. Bartolom-
meo. The ancient confessional below
that basilica. dating from about the
seventh century, is entirely filled. In
fact. the waters have risen about forty
feet. and II rain should continue to
fall we may witness the Tiber invading
the Corso and Piazza d'Espagna. Hap
PLY, a change seems to be setting in.
1t was quite fascinating sight to see
the main, or northern, food racing be-
meath the Cestian bridge, like q sue
cession of maelstroms. almost giddying
to behold. AS usual crowd of people
amused themselves by watching the
operations of those who on such occa.
sions fish for driftwood.
