tar In his desire to take guitar les
sons he applied to one of his young
masters to teach him. But the young
man, not having much faith in the
ability of the slave to master the gui-
tar at his age, sought to discourage
him by telling him: Uncle Jake, will
give you guitar lessons. But. Jake, |
will have to charge you So for the first
lesson, 50 for the second lesson and 81
for the third lesson. But | will charge
you only % cents for the last lesson"
Uncle Jake answered; "All right,

STALKEO BY VULTURES.
While n Man Was Trailing "A Buck
the Birds Followed the Man.


1 met with curious and not alto
gether pleasant experience, writes an
Anglo-Indian correspondent who has
done a good deal of large and smah
game shooting in India, when 1 was
one day stalking a black buck. Be-
tween me and my quarry lay a large
fiat field of black cotton soil bOrdered
by a very low, struggling and thinly
growing hedge of small babul trees.
My only way to get shot was to cross
this, keeping the bushiest tree between
me and the buck, who had not much
to browse on and was therefore seldom
motionless. | proceeded to do the hun
dred yards on the fiat of my stomach.
This on loose, hard baked black cotton
soil was no joke. pushed my rife on
ahead; then, wriggling past it until the
mUzzle was near my knee, | would pass
it on in front again, and so on.
Progress was slow, and | was so abb
sorbed that | failed to observe shad-
ows crossing and recrossing my path
and circling round until l had gone
some so yards. Then the whirring of
wings attracted my ears, and almost at
the same moment a vulture landed on
the ground not 20 yards away. l look
ed up. The air was alive with these
repulsive looking birds. Then it fash
ed across me that | was being stalked!
Doubtless these birds were attracted
| by my extraordinary method of pro-
cedure and mistOok me for a wounded
Or dying man making final effort to
| reach some shady spot. This was espe-
cially possible, as the experience &C.

SOME CURIOUS CHURCHES.
Congregations Which Meet In Inns,
WindmiIIs and Boats.

WindmiIIs and Boats.
A public house is one of the last
places one would expect to be used as
a place Of worship. The inhabitants
of Twyford a village near Winchester,
would not consider this at all a nov
city, because for several years past
the Phoenix nm has been used Sunday
for religious purposes. The room IN
which the religious services are held
will comfortably hold about 200 people
and opens at the back on to a pretty
tea garden. The most remarkable fsa-
ture of the services is that they are Of
ten conducted while the public house
is open for business purposes, and the
customers can join in the singing if
they are so disposed.
There are two or three instances Of
public houses which have been con-
verted into churches, and there are
also two or three theaters which are
now places of worship. The Fen dis
trict possesses a canalboat church.
There are a large number of people
who live some distance away from any
church, and the canalbOat church tray
els from place to place for the benefit
of such folk. The boat will seat a
congregation of about 100.
The old chapel of ease at Tunbridge
Wells has a unique situation. 1t stands
in two counties and three parishes.
When the clergyman leaves the vestry,
he comes out of the parish of Frant Of
Sussex. If he is going to oftfciatR at
the altar, he walks into the parish Of
Tunbridge, in Kent. If, on the other
hand, he is going to preach the sermon,
he walks from the parish Of Frant to
the parish of Speldhurst on his way to
the pulpit.
The chapel at Milton Bryant Is situ-
ated in the village pond. The reason
for the selection of this strange site
| was because no landowner void
would grant any other position.
The "windmilp' church near Reigate
is familiar to London cyclists. Not SO
familiar is the underground church at
Brighton. Owing to some "ancis0t
lights difficulty, the authorities could
not build up" and as the site was .

How to Wear Gloves.

Many an otherwise faultless toilet is
spoiled by the wearer's ill-fitting or badly
chosen gloves, for women very generally
fail to give the requisite attention to these
small but most important additions to the
costume. The fact is that women, as a
rule, don't realize how attractive-or 9TH
erwise-hands can be, and therefore they
do not trouble to heighten their charms or
conceal the want of them by pretty and
daintily fitting gloves.
There are many 'don'ts' to be remem-
bered by the woman who aspires to be well
gloved.
Don't buy cheap gloves. If you cannot
afford to have new gloves very often, 1t Is
better to have those that are well cut but
much mended rather than new and cheap
pair which distort the appearance OF the
hands.
Don't squeeze your hand into gloves
which are uncomfortably small. By DONG
this you will be sure TO make your hands
appear misshapen and will very probably
make them red and uncomfortable after the
gloves have been taken off.
Choose gloves that are long enough in
the fingers and which button neatly at the
wrist. Take care, however, that they are
not too large, for baggy backs, slouchy
wrists and wrinkled fingers have a siovenly
look
Don't wear a glove with a button off or
a hole in it, thinking it will not be noticed.
1t is almost sure 10 pc observed, ana IL
will stamp you as careless in the eyes of
the beholder. Don't put on a new glove
carelessly. The first molding of the glove
to the hand decides its future shape. and
therefore it is most important that it should
not be put on anyhow, but in the best pos
sible manner. Turn back the wrist part of
the glove and then carefully work on the
fingers, seeing that the seams are straight.
When all the fingers are well in smooth
down the hand part of the glove and insert
the thumb When this is properly in. with
the seam going down the center of the nail
and when the seam at the side of the hand
is even and smooth, then the glove may
be buttoned or ciasped.
Don't forget to sprinkle some powder ir to
your gloves before putting them on if your
hands are given to perspiring.
Don't rumple up your gloves in ball
when you take them off, but smooth out
each carefully, lay one on the other and
put them both away in a case or drawer
till wanted again.
