A few weeks ago Rev. S. C. Whitcomb,
State Missionary of the Free Baptist con-
ference, held series Of meetings in the
upper church. He plans to send this soci-
ETY. lady preacher, who has superior ability
as speaker and an unusual gift in song.
Sunday morning, Feb. 18th, Rev. Geo. E.
Tufts at the Baptist church, announced that
on Sunday mornings he would preach a
course of twelve sermons on Hebrew his
tory and biography, beginning on that date,
with the Call of Abram. -. The ice harvest
ers have had good season. During Jan
uary they filled their store-houses with a
very superior quality, and with less expense
than usual. There has been much sick
ness in town during the winter, and larger
number of deaths than usual. The death of
MIR. j. W. Ryder, man of unquestioned
integrity, is great loss to the town.
Among the sick of late have been Winfield
Babbidge, Capt. William Sprague and John
P. Bragg, but they are all improving. Sat
urday evening, Feb. 23d, an extra meeting
of the Eastern Star Lodge was called for
the initiation of members. Monday even
ing, Feb. 18th, the Masons with ladies, had
a moonlight excursion to Belfast, to attend,
by invitation, the public installation of the
officers of Phoenix Lodge. The steamer
Silver Star was chartered for the occasion,
and returned after the ceremonies. All had
a most enjoyable time.

un,y 70 lie Cheerful.

The sovereign voluntary path &c
cheerfulness, II our spontaneous cheer
fulness be lost, Is TO sit up choerfully
TO look around cheerfully and TO act
and speak as If cheerfulness were al
ready there. If such conduct doesn't
make you feel cheerful, nothing else
on that occasion can. So to feel brave
act as If we were brave. use all our Will
to that end. and n courage fit will yer!
likely replace the fit of fear. Again
in order to feel kindly toward person
to whom we have been inimical, the
only way is more or less deliberately tC
smile. TO make sympathetic inquiries
and to force ourselves to say geniaI
things. One hearty laugh together VIII
bring enemies into closer communiob
of heavt than hours spent on both sides
in inward wrestling with the menta'
demon of uncharitable feeling. Tc
wrest.e with bad feeling only pins
our attention on it and keeps it fas
tened in the mind; whereas. II we act
as If from some better feeling, the OLD
bad feeling soon folds its tent like ar
Arab and silently steals away.-PrO-
fessor William James.

CARE OF LACES.

Iron lace on the right side first, then
on the wrong side to throw up the pat
tern.
When putting lace away, fold as little
as possible. A good plan Is to wind 1t
round a card, as they do in the shops.
When ironing laces. cover them with
clean. white tissue paper. This pre-
vents the shiny look seen on washed
lace.
Use contour instead OF ordinary
starch for stiffening laces. This makes
them firm and does not detract from
the lacy appearance.
Laces and other delicate trifes should
be placed In a muslin bag before being
boiled. This prevents their getting lost
and torn in the wash.
After getting up" laces do not leave
them to air in a damp PLAYGROUND
the fire when the kettle is boiling. for
instance. This r0bs them of their fresh
ness and makes them look limp.
All laces before being ironed should
be carefully pulled out, each point re-
ceiving attention. You will be repaid
for your trouble. as the lace will look
twice as nice and last clean much
longer time.

The history OF wireless telegraph.
would not be complete without some
mention of Joseph Henry, Americas
greatest scientist. for it was he who
first, in 1912, discovered the oscillatory
character of certain electric discharges
and who showed that these oscillations
produced disturbances which could by
suitable receivers be detected at dis
tances of many rods and through in
tervening buildings, writes Professor
Joseph Ames in The Review OF Re
views. lie even arranged an apparatus
on this principle to respond TO the
lightning discharges Of distant storms.
The great genius of Henry was never
more apparent than In his investga-
ton of electrical discharges and their
oscillatory nature. 1t is lasting tes-
tmony to the ignorance among Ameri-
cans OF their own great men that the
name of Joseph Henry was not includ-
ed in the first 50 selected for the Hall
of Fame of the nation.

Topic For the Week beginning S"is
Is, "Truc Philanthropy''
Text, Gal. vi, lilo.

The best gifts are not money anu
things and cannot be estimated III DOL
lars. true friend IS worth more than
all the cash one can give or another re-
ceiye. And. however much you may
doubt 1t ut first, it is, nevertheless, true
that there is nothing men give so rarely
as true friendship. Still, more slnsu-
lar. but Just as true, there is nothing
people are SO reluctant to receive as
true friendship. 1t costs so much that
few are willing to put themselves 10
the expense and privation 1t involves
to give or receive. Men Will give al
most ANYTHING else more Willingly thah
this. Have YOU ever tried to be a real
friend to any one? Have you studied
their needs until in the depths or your
soul there was an earnest longing to
impart to them the wealth of truth you
held and YOU have studied how you
might benefit them, regardless or your
own ease? What time. what study
what anxiety and at times real anguish
II has cost, Would money welgh
against all this? No one could buy
such interest; no price would pay you,
for money would not tempt you TO sur
fer so. But, on the other hand, noth
ing SO rich ever came into your he
as that same experience. l do not
mean the gratitude returned, nor even
the satisfaction of success in seeing an
other life lifted. 1t all lies deeper than
this. The consciousness Of being
friendly. rather the feeling of friend
ship ITSELF is its own compensation
above all other return.
How dses this true philanthropy
work? The Scriptural lesson is very
full of suggestion and will repay clos
est study and persistent practice.
Although q man be oyertaken in fault,
Restore him.
Don't abandon q fellow the first time
he slips. You think you stand firm,
and somewhat Of contempt for his
weakness comes TO you. You cannot
! feel confidence in him: you cannot trust
him as before. You do despise as well
as condemn him. You can leave him,
for he will be no help to you and may
cause others to suspect you. His com
pany may tempt you to the evil. Drop
him quickly. and you will feel proud OF
your own superior trmness, and people
will praise you for your manly integri-
tv, II that is the way you feel. you
would probably best drop him, for you
surely haven't enough stock for your
self and him too. You surely could
never restore him. for you are too
shaky yourself and lack spirit and gen
uine meek9eSs. Give some one else
the job. Fact Is, you think you have
some muscle when it is mostly bloct
without strength.
That one needs friend who can Isl-
tiently show him the right way out NJ
/ his error until lie sees it, then ore
! who believes In his ability to get out
| and sticks to him until he believes In
himself and wants to be right then
loves God so strongly that lie wants
this soul saved and just imparts his
own power of believing and loving I'M
til the other trusts God also and in the
name Of Jesus rises and walks. This
costs, but 1t pays. 1t is better than all
the missionary money you ever gave
or will give. Give yourself, for Jesus
sake, and find better self returned.

AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.
One of the Ticks Performed by tho
Eakirs Of India.

The fakirs of India perform some re-
markable tricks. The following one
was witnessed by an Englishman who
was himself an excellent prestidigl-
tateur:
The apartment being SLED, the ma
gicians began their performance. The
audience sat on the floor about the
fakirs, so that they had no way of con-
cealing themselves or Of hiding any
thing. At their request l examined
them and satisfied myself that they
had nothing about them. Then one of
the women stepped into the inclosure.
the rest remaining behind the spec
tators, who formed close ring about
them. The light was now turned down
little, and in moment the woman's
face began to be illuminated by a
ghostly light that extended quickly
over her entire body.
She then began to move around and
around, uttering a low, murmuring
sound the while. gradually quickening
the pace until she was whtrling about
like a top. A moment Of this, and the
light that had chung about her seemed
to be whirled off by centrifugal force
and assumed pillarlike form beside
her. AS soon rs this was accomplish
ed she stopped, turned and began to
mold the light with her hand, and
though | could distinctly see her hands
move through the light as IL 1t were Il
cloud, it began to assume human form.
We saw the arms hands and legs all
nodded and finally the face and head
gear. She next called for light, and.
the candles being relighted. there stood
an utter stranger, native seemingly,
evolved out of cloudland. He stepped
forward and grasped me by the hand
His hands were moist, as If with per-
SEPARATION, and he was a very healthy
spirit.
After he had talked and drunk a
glass of arrack he took his place beside
the woman again and began to whirl
about. The lights were dimmed, but
not so that we could not see and in a
few minutes the figure began to fade,
soon assuming the appearance OF a
pillar or form of light and then attach
ing Itself to the woman and seemingly
being absorbed by her. All this was
done in a very short space of time be-
fore the eyes of at least so people and
not ten feet from myself. The girl APP
pcared greatly exhausted afterward.

One Mans Method of Going Fishing

All went well until the fifth verse
was reached. and the parson began,

exclaimed, omit the fifth verse" and
Immediately began to recite aloud the
