First Methodist Church.

The services at the First Methodist
church Sunday, closed the conference
year and were of unusual interest.
At the IL o'clock hour the Board OF
Stewards made their annual report to
the congregation, showing the amount
of money collected and disbursed dur
ing the year, and the purposes for
which it was used. The report showed
that in order to pay all liabilities In
full there was lacking xS4. 80; but the
statement was made that that sum and
more had been promised, and that no
extra collection would be taken up, the
stewards hoping and believing that the
members would redeem their promises
on this the last day of grace. And
they did, the collection amounting to
few dollars more than the sum re-
quired. -
This business being finished Mr.. Nc
Ferrin followed with strong, gospel
sermon.
At the evening hour the pastor read
to his congregation the report he VIE
make to Conference this week, inter-
spersing the same with apt, interesting
and feeling remarks. The report was
as follows

His "knittin'.W n'.WOrk." "

Aunt Alvira Fifer was what her neigh
bors called regular driver" Possessed
of untiring energy and unfailing strength
herself, she made little allowance lor
idleness on the part of anyone. and She
declared that she could put up with 4
mean man easier than with a lazy one
Aunt Alvira's husband, Uncle Ethan,
was a small, wiZened, weak-looking man,
whom Aunt Alvira declared to be mighty
wiry if he did look so spindlin'.'
One day summer boarder who chanced
to be soiourning in farmhouse near the
Fifer farm wandered over to the little
brown farmhouse and engaged Aunt AL
vira in conversation. The visitor sat on
the kitchen doorstep and took note of the
enormous quantity Of stove wood piled
up in the back yard and ovcrtiowing from
the great woodshed. The whole yard
was Strewn with stovewood, and the caller
estimated that there were not less than
twenty-five cords of it.
What an enormous quantity OF stove
wood YOU have" he said to Aunt Fifer.
Yes, there is considerable of it" she
replied. Il carlate on sellin' most OF it
in the fall
"Who cut all of it,"
"Oh, Ethan did it as sort O knittln'-
work. think it a good thing for man
to have some sort O knittin' work to dC

has been Ethan's knittin' work. k."-Morrls

FLOWER AND TREE.

Fruit trees and fruit require potash
for their best development.
With house plants oil extreme
changes of temperature should be
avoided.
Too many trees prevent rapid growth
and extend the time when grove Is
we'll shaded.
Grapevines like their roots to be near
the surface, and the food for them
should not be placed at too great a
depth.
Small growth and too much small
fruit 60 together. Thrifty growth fur
nishes q few large and fine specimens
Of fruit.
There is no use in growing a tree
very tall. The top limbs are apt to be-
come slender and break If fruit Is pro-
duced on them.
ALI members Of the poppy family are
hard to transplant. BY choosing a
rainy day and not exposing the roots
one can sometimes manage a trans
ference.
Avoid straight lines as much as posi-
BILE. There is no straight line In nature.
1t Is for this reason that groups and
masses are so much better than formal
or set beds.

WHILE WE. SLEEP.
The Muscles and Organs of the Body
Are Still Working.

The MuScles ana organs OF tne hoOy
Are Still Working.
II the organs Of the body cannot he
said to sleep, neither can the voluntary
muscles. Witness the phenomena Of
sleepwalking, the positions In stage
coach days who slept in their saddles
and cavalrymen who do it today. in
fantry who have been known to sleep
on forced marches, sentinels who walk
their beats carrying their guns in &
fixed position while they sleep. For
all we know policemen may do it too.
People who talk in their sleep are fa-
miliar to all Of us. Experiments made
by Speir, Armstrong and Child on 200
college students Of both sexes showed
that Al per cent Of the men and 81
per cent Of the women talked in their
sleep. A number Of things might be
proved by these statistics. or these
sleep takers one-half Of the women
and one-third of the men are able to
answer questions while asleep. More
women than men could answer ques-
tions on any subject, not alone that of
which they had been talking. 1t has
also been found that most sleep talk
ers are under twenty-five years Of age.
Evidently, then, with the muscles
and organs Of the body all working, it
is the brain only that sleeps. and by
no means all of the brain. The senses
Of sight, hearing, touch, smell and
taste may be very much awake while
the subject sleeps. A sleeping person
hears and answers questions, rear
ranges his bedclothing, covers his eyes
to keep out the light, draws away his
hand when the experimenter tickles 1t.
A child IS broken Of the habit Of suck
ing his thumb while asleep by putting
aIoes on it. He is conscious Of the bit.
ter taste. and dreams Of wormwood.
The nerves, then, and the brain CEN
tiers corresponding to them are awake.
A busy lawyer, exhausted by over
work, one night went out to supper
with some friends, ate, talked and
walked with them, and the next day
remembered absolutely nothing Of the
occurrence. He had not been drinking.
The man was simply asleep during the
whole evening. His conscious men,
ory-that is, consciousness itself-slept.

specially excelled in was the clinching
of an argument, such as, for instance,
his final remark on the death Of Talley-

before. When the news Of the princes
death was brought to him, he said,
"Are you sure he is dead?" "Very
sure, SIRE" was the answer. "Why,
did not your majesty himself notice
yesterday that he was dying?" 81 did,

He breathed his love unto her there;
But she-she smiled smile so rare
While chewing

She listened while he urged his suit,
Still chewing

He vowed her charms had made him mute
And turned his passion on a lutte;
And she delared that it was "cute"-
Still chewing

At last she blushed and murmured "I.es"--

He wrapped her in a fond caress,
And she remarked: "Tis time, guess,

He met her with q happy smile,
And they were welded there, the while
She wept in pretty pretty, bridey style
Still chewing

Were shouting in their happy play
And they were hers, know, for they
