REJOlOEO IN HIS PUMPKIN.

The Nashville Christian Ad-
vocate relates the following in
cident Of Rev. F. r. Noe, who
is we'll known by many Of our
readers, which shows that the
Methodist circuit rider in this
country does not always live on
the fat of the land, and also that
Rev. Noe is a a faithful preacher
as he was a faithful soldier:
"Rev. F. R. Noe in giving in
his report lamented a decrease in
membership, shortage OF collect
ions, and general prostration OF
the interests Of the church 81
cause of the presence Of certain
evangelists called 'come-outers.'
Rations we're so scarce at his
house that one morning he had
only biscuit and pumpkin for
breakfast. AS he sat down to
the table he saw a tear standing
in his wife's eye. Through all
the trials and triumphs Of his
itinerant career she had been
courageous and cheerful, but on
this occasion the seanty break
fast moved her to tears. But,
Brother Noe, true itinerant, said
"Wife, | served Jeff Davis on
corn bread and pumpkin, and
thank God that while serving my
Master | have biscuit and pump
kin" Bishop Galloway sale
"That is the most eloquent sen
tence ! ever heard"

According to the Hardy Herald
senator elect David l.. King is
sending out a list OF printed
questions to his constituents ask
ing opinions as to legislation that
will likely come before the next
legislature. This shows a kind
ness upon the part of Senator
King, but if he receives many
answers we imagine the diversity
Of opinion will be amazing, and
taat he will find how to do the

be more amazing still.

Cluny lace run through with fine gold

Silk embroidered buttons are one of
the novel features of the new shirt

match the material.

Odd Scheme For Publiclty.

Tallaferro, 1908" were inscriptions that
appeared on different hotel registers
during the week. These were but two
Of many, which in each instance was
the name of a st. Louis commercial
traveller. The use of "1903" is the
unique method adopted by the ST. Louis
Travelling Mems association to adver-
tlse the fair which is to be held in that
year at the Missouri metropolis. The
figures are made to stand for the name
of their city. The "drummers" argue
that every time it appears on a hotel
register that it will make those who see
it think of st. Louis and her fair
New York Times.

Legerdemnin.
One of a group of three men who
We're seated in the Waldorf Astoria
cafe recently was amusing the other
two with some clever sleight of hand
tricks perfosmed with a silver dollar
that appeared and disappeared in a
quite mysterious manner.
Where did you learn that clever
ness?' asked one of the spectators.
In Philadelphia, forty years ago."
he answered, during the days of ST.
gnor Blitz, who was my teacher. l
was very young man then and lived
next door to Blitz. He took a fancy
to me and taught me many sleight of
hand tricks that have not forgotten.
'Blitz was one of the men who help
ed to bring juggling to its perfection
and paved the way for the great pres
tidigitators who followed him.
"Now the profession is in its deca-
dence. 1t has passed its zenith, and
its performances fail to excite wonder.
1t still survives as an adjunct to other
performances, particularly for the
about all.
'BlitZ gave performance entirely in
legerdemain six nights in the week and
two matnees. That cannot be done in
Philadelphia now or any place else and
draw paying houses. You remember
the wonderful performances of Houdin

founding second sight. Then came An
derson the Wizard of the North
who drew full houses all over the coun-
try. Hermann the Great one of the
most clever of them all in simple
sleight hand of tricks. was with us
only few years ago, and his successor
is now performing. Then we yet have
Kellar, who has carried mechanical
tricks and deception by the use Of mir
rors to perfection. There are also a
lot of the smaller fry associated with
variety and vaudeville performances.
But the fact is that these clever
men fail to excite more than a very lit
tie interest, because their tricks and
lueh ways anu lheh hcliiouS are All
too well known. Their performances
have been exploited to the utmost
detail, and our children now know how
tricks that were once considered abso-
lutely astounding are performed. and
many of them are clever enough to re-
peat them in our parlors.
eve know all about the deception Of
mirrors, the possibilities of electricity
and lights, what mechanics can ac-
complish and the cleverness of the hui
man mind in performing apparent
wonders. All of this means that the
profession Of the prestidigltator is
passing and that he is only surviving
as an adjunct to other attractions.

Japanese and Their Shirt Collars.

The increase of stature among the
Japanese is very perceptible, and the
substitution of tepid and even cold wa
ter for the hot baths among many
of the people is responsible for an in
creasing tlorldity of the complexion.

was the normal circumference of full
grown Japaneses throat. In a little
over twenty years, owing to more ath-

risen an inch and half. To athletic
development should also be added

more generous diet and abstention
from parboiling are bringing reward

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The value of wood ashes in the or
chard can hardly be overestimated.
Coal ashes can often be used to good
advantage in mulching ounce trees.
The soil should be kept from becom-
ing hard on the surface about fruit
trees.
There are few kinds of fruits more
easily or more cheaply grown than
raspberres.
Fruit of fine appearance sells bet
ter than fruit of extra flavor which is
not so SNOWY.
While a good dressing of manure can
be applied on the garden in the fall or
winter to advantage, care should be
taken to have it thoroughly rotted.
Our best lawn or street tree, the sugar
maple, should always be transplanted
in the fall, as the profuse discharge
from the branches and roots when cut
necessarily renders planting uncertain.
