St Jacobs on for Chest Colds. Bron-
chItis. Group and Pleurisy.

An outward application for bron-
chlal difficulties is many times far
more effective than syrups, cough mix

The good people of the church at
Elmville had decided that something
must be DONE and at once. The
treasurer, a young man, who had re-
Gently come to the village, had made
a financial statement that October
Sunday morning, upon which certain
persons felt very much scandalized.
Such thing had never been done be-
fore-not even thought of; then it re-
vealed the fact that the Reverend Wes-
ley Norwood had received but $51.75
for six months of faithful service.
81 don't believe in bringing up such
matters in the religious services of
the church." growled Brother Cook
who always protested that it was a
waste of money to pay the minister SO
much salary
Il quite agree with you" responded
Mr.. Barnes. He was not a member of
the church. but attended because it
was respectable thing to do-gave
you standing. IF these things must
come up every Sunday, l shall attend
church elsewhere"
Notwithstanding this, it was gener-
ally agreed that it was a shame, and
something must be done. But when
things had gone in haphazard way

right about. After several weeks of
elaboration, the necessary something

IRONING A snIKr WAIST.

Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do 1t. Hence these direc-
lions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear APP
ply the damp cloth and remove them
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each enc with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist Is
ironed 1t should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before 1t is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

Centuries Old.

Days of festival thanksgiving have
been celebrated for many centuries.
Under the old Mosaic law the Hebrews
held an annual harvest festival under
the trees and in tents of palm. The
German Protestants have an annual
Harvest Home" festival, accompanied
by religious services, and this custom
was brought to America by the early
Dutch immigrants.
Thanksgiving for us today is time
for rejoicing that life has been spared
to us and that we have escaped many
dangers, overcome many trials and en-
joyed many pleasures during the last
year. 1t is also time when we
should remember kindly those who
have been less fortunate and should
put forth some special effort to make
them happier.

good time while making the pastor
happy. 1t would be easy to prepare
something extra while getting ready
for Thanksgiving. 1t was to be
grand secret; not a soul but members
OF the society should know word of
it.
At the close OF the business meet
ing of the Young Peoples League, the
president made a close scrutiny to as
sure himself that all present were
members; he then proposed that, as
"Thoy would not do anything the
League take UP the matter.
81 understand that we have nearly
sixty dollars in the treasury; we could
pay the pastor $4S.5O-bring the sal
airy up to s10O-and have enough left
to pay all bills and begin the new year
out of debt If we do this 1 suggest
that we observe the utmost secrecy
and make il a complete surprise" All
readily agreed to the plan and pledged
the proper reticence in the matter,
Four OF the most faithful met after
prayer meeting to discuss the situa-
ton, and decided that they must at
once collect $24S,25, the balance nee
essary to pay the six months salary
due. This they proceeded to do so
quietly that no one surmised gem
eral canvass was being made. Before
Sunday the entire amount was secured.
Friday, after school. the Junior
Leaguers met and decided that mas
much as the. grown up folks would
not help I'M fefts -matter, they would do
what they could; so they voted to pay
over every bit there was in the
treasury. Upon counting $23.25 was
found to be the correct amount.
ooh, girls!" cried Lottie Newman,
as she made some figures in the treas
urer's book, ut will make just even
SIS and hope we can get enough to

After the choir had run over the
Sunday hymns, someone proposed that
they pay the proceeds of the last con-
cert on the salary. The sum of $30.25;
after referring to the margin of his
anthem book, the chorister reported
that it would make $82 all told. On

Origin of the Word "c.nada.-

On April 20, 1854, Jacques Cartier
sailed from st. Malo. Brittany, with
two ships and G1 men, for Labrador,
skirted Newfoundland, named Chaleur
bay, crossed the eastern end of Anti
cost and then headed for France
again. The next year Cartier returned
with three ships, thought he saw in
the st. Lawrence the wished for pas
sage to India and was only undeceiyed
by the freshness of the water on reach
ing the mouth of the Saguenay, Then
was revealed the majestic size of the
continent, for, with the exception of
the Amazon and the Orinoco, no Amer
ican river gives one such a sense OF
power and grandeur.
AS the Frenchmen inquired the
names Of the Indian villages along the
banks they were answered Canada"
a Mohawk word meaning village, but
which was applied by the Frenchmen
to the country.

a Chinese strntngsm.

Rajah Suran, who was one of the
earliest rulers of India, overran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
ma, killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh.
ttfs. 1t is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed
The emperor called u council of his
generals and mandarins, and upon the
advice of Il crafty old mandarin the
following strategcm was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck,
the vessel was manned by numerous
crew of old men and dispatched TO the
rajahs capital When it arrived-the
most wonderful part of the story is
that 1t did arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long it had taken the
vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great trees
had grown. In corroboration of their
story they pointed to the rusty mills
which, they said, had been stout iron
bars as thick as a mans arm when
they started. "You can see," they con-
cluded, that China must be n very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.

An Hcolfnn Harp,

TO make an Golian harp construct n
box of very thin pine, cedar or other
wood, five or six inches deep, seven or
eight inches wide, with q length equal
to that of the window in which it is to
be placed. Across the top, near each
end, glue strip of wood half an inch
high and quarter of an inch thick
for bridges. Into the ends of the box
insert wooden pins. like those of vio-
lin, to wind the strings around, two
pins in each end. Make sound hole
in the middle of the top and string the
box with small catgut or first fiddle
strings. Fastening one end of each
string to Il metallic pin in one end of
the box and carrying it over the
bridges, wind it around the turning pin
In the opposite end of the box. Tune
the strings in unison and place the box
in the window. 1t is better to have
four strings, but harp with single
string produces an exceedingly sweet
melody.

The Legend of the snowdrop.

An old legend gives the following as
the origin of the snowdrop: After Ad-
am and Eve had been driven from the
garden of Eden Eve was disconsolate
One day as she sat silently grieving an
angel appeared and sought means to
comfort her. She longed for the flow
ers, but the fast descending snow was
wrapping the barren earth in robe of
white
AS the angel stood and spoke words
of hope to the weeping, repentant wom-
an he caught a snowflake, breathed
gently upon it and said:
Take form, pure snowflake, bud and
blossom and be comfort to humanity,
now and forever"
F.. In twinkling the snowflake changed
into beautiful flower, as white and
pure as the snow itself, and when Eve
beheld the newborn blossom gladness
and hope came to her heart, and she
smiled through her tears.
Having fulfilled his mission of love,
the angel departed, but where he had
stood there Immediately sprung up
circle of perfect snowdrops.

Getting PcreOnaI.

The favorite Scottish method of deal
ing with sleepers in church was pub
licly to denounce the delinquents. The
Christian Leader tells this story:
When the Rev. Walter Dunlap, min
lister of United Presbyterian church
in Dumfries, saw n member of his flock
nodding while he was preaching, he
stopped suddenly and said:
II doot some o. ye hae taen over
mony whey porridge the day. Sit up,
or I'll name We oot!'
Another Caledonian preacher, on like
provocation, cried out, Hold up yer
heads, my friends, and mind that nei-
ther saints nor sinners are sleeping in
the next world"
Then, finding that this general ex-
hortation was insufficient to deter
certain well known member of the
church from getting his nights rest
forward, the reverend gentleman turn
ed toward the offender and said:
James Stewart, this is the second
time ! have stopped to waken We. If
need to stop Il third time. I'll expose We
by name to the whole congregation"

A Career Ending Joke.

This Is true story about one of the
/ mayors of Kansas City. He was mayor
when the incident occurred, not so very
many years ago. Two newspaper men,
both very good friends of the mayor.
were about to leave town, and the,
asked Mr.. Mayor to help them cele-
brate their departure.
1t was hot day in summer, and aft
er an hour or two of convivial indul-
gence the mayor of Kansas City was
very much under the influence of liq-
TOR. The newspaper men were feeling
jovial, but they were still able to walk
around. 1t finally became necessary to
do something for the mayor. Seeing q
fruit wagon pass, one of the newspaper
men ran out and hailed the driver.
When he drew up to the curb he was
asked whether or not he wanted to
make 81. He replied that he most GER
tainly did
1t was then explained to him that
drunken man would he stretched out in
mis- wagon, face toward the sky, and
that he must drive through all the bust
ness streets of the town and then take
the man home.
Not knowing who his passenger was
70 be, the driver consented, and the
joke was carried out to the letter.
Through the streets of Kansas City the
mayor Of the town, stretched out on an
open wagon asleep, was driven, and
there was a placard that announced the
cause Of the strange plight fastened
on the back of the wagon. The mayor
was not e-elected.-Chicago Chronicle
