Making tie Plants Go Round


The new reporter, in his story of the
wedding, wrote. 1.-THE floral display
stretched from the chancel rail to the
doors of the church"
The city editor, in a mild manner, as
is the custom of city editors with new
reporters, suggested:
Couldn't you have used a better
word than stretched? Say the floral
display nodded or 'twined' or some
thing like that-some word more sug-
gestive of flowers"

Chinese are dangerous enemies, for they

feits Of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve are
dangerous. They look like De Wits, but
instead Of the all-healing witch hazel they
all contain ingredients liable to irritate

piles, injuries and skin diseases use the

A New Century Revival.

All Of the free churches of England
are joined in an effort to open the new
century with great evangelical reyi-
val. Eight days are to be given to
the task, apart from the months Of
preparations, which have already been
begun. In this task of preparation
the Christian Endcavor and other lay
help is brought into use. The meet
lngs will begin on Saturday night,
January being the month selected,
cover the two following Sundays aud
terminate on Monday evening. The
London meetings are to be held in ad-
vance of those in the province, this
for local effect. There are to be six
London ccntrcs-principal centres.
each OF which will have many subor-
diuatc centres.
In other cities Of England the num-
Der Of principal centres, each with
subordinate ones, will number from
one to six, according to size, and the
work is already begun to see that no
city, however small, is omitted from
the plan. The date will be about a
fortnight after the close Of the London
meetings. Eyangelists from one to 10
in number will be sent to each city,
according to size, and pastors will
help out.
There will be special services for
milkmen, for car drivers, for fallen
women, newspaper boys, etc. Some
of these will be held at early hours in
the morning, one of them at 3 a. Nd.
They will be held at any hour those
for whom they are held can best at
tend. The aim is, first to reach peo-
pie of all grades and to provide meet
ings anywhere and at any times;
second, to converge these meetings
upon central mass meetings.
There is movement on foot in this
country to make this year year of
prayer and preparation for the incom-
coming new century. A call to this
end is issued to the people Of the
United States and is signed by many
representative men, including such
names as those Of the Rev. DR.. j. H.
Barrows, Joseph Strong, Washington
GLADDEN.. Theodore L. Cuyler, G. I.
Scofield, and Bishops Gilbert, of Min
nesota. Leonard of Ohio, Doaue, of |
Albany: Andrews, of New York, etc.
The appeal is to Christians to make
the year one of prayer, work and pre-
paration and education by Bible study
and study Of missionary and other
progressive Christian work, in order
that great revival Of religion may be
prepared for in the opening year of
the new century.

Why She Bounded Skyward.

a pretty bicycle girl, in a smart
wheeling costume, stopped yesterday
afternoon to watch Peter Hendricks
build bridge over small creek at
Georges road, just outside of New
Brunswick, New Jersey.
The girl seated herself on the grassy
bank to observe the work of bridge
building A minute later she bound
ed into the air shriekiDg wildly, and
then fell backward into clump of
bushes.
Much alarmed, Peter ran to her as
slstancc, carrying big pail OF water.
He thought she had been overcome by
the heat. He was about to douse her
with the water when she waved him
back frantically.
Are you i'll. Let me help you,"
said Peter, with the kindliest inten-
tions in the world.
"You can do nothing sobbcd the
girl, who was clearly suffering the
most acute physical pain. l sat down
on yellow jackets nest
Just let me get some wet mud"
Peter began; but the girl started off
on wild run, and disappeared in
farmers house some distance away,
where the farmers wife administered
aid.
Later, when the girl returned for
her wheel, she didn't look in Peters
direction and he made believe he
didn't see her.-Nc,o York World.
