character of the music. He said it was
not q mere musical festival. but q de-
votfonaI service appropriate 10 the
season observed by the church as a
period OF prayer. Because OF ttis fact,
he said. numerous hymns had been in
eIuded in the oratorio as the congTega-
lions part OF the service. while the
more difficult music was sung by trained
voices
An interesting feature OF the singing
OF the oratorio was the participation Of

GIVE UP WEED OR SCHOOL.
KsnOsAa Principal Says No smokers
VIII BE Admitted to the
CIass-ROoma.

Kenosha (Wis.) school boys will no
longer use cigarettes. The city principal
Of schools has issued an ironclad edict
that all users OF cigarettes must be ex-
PEELED from the schools and not allowed
to return until they could give evidence
of reformation. The principal is backed
by the board OF education and it is an
parent that the smokers viii have to
give up thesweed or the school.
In defending his action Principal Ham
mill said he had discovered that almost
half the school boys in the city were
users of tobacco ard that the state law
against the sale OF cigarettes was no bar
to the boys securing paper pipes. The
practice is growing at an alarming rate
and the influence Of the smokers on the
other boys in the school is decidedly
bad. Requests have been treated with
scorn and for this reason the principal
took the decisive step.
Several Of the boys have announced
that they will strike If the rule is en-
forced. but the principal has no fear of
such action and all must quit smoking
or quit school

ELECTRIC "wHIP" A SUCCESS.
New Device Tested at Chicago and
BaIky Horses Cease to Be
Stubborn.

An electric whip, the invention of j.
A Giles, of Eiberon. Ca. was given
successful test at the stock yards at
Chicago the other morning. Mr. Giles
device consists essentially of small
battery, which is placed in the wagon
and from which wires run along the
shafts to small copper plates fixed in
the saddles OF the harness. When il is
desired to spur the animals to greater
effort it is only necessary to touch
button and every horse feels the shock
at the same instant
1t is Mr.. Giles idea that the invention
will work perfectly on teams containing
a number of horses when it is desired
to have them all start at the same mo-
ment, and he contends that it will be
found far superior to the ordinary whip,
which must be applied to each animal
separately.
The first test was made on a horse
which the stable men had been unable to
drive for year. The effect of the
whip" was instantaneous. the horse
being only too willing to travel. Other
tests we're equally successful.

GIRLS BLOW THEIR HAIR.

A prevalent fashion Of the day is en-
dangering the small chinned facial
type of the American woman, and pos

the belief that appearance and charac-
ter are independent The peril lies in
the habit the girls have of constantly
blowing the sunburst locks of their
pompadours up OF their foreheads, says
the Chicago Tribune.
There is a rumor that the manner

delicate traeery is apparently the out
line of many rattlesnakes, says the In

According to his story these snakes

times, back in the era when the plots

these snakes were cold. according to
his story, anyway they coiled closely
to one another and in that form were
petrified and were gradually turned
into stone The stone expert also
pointed out where the rattles of the
snake may be seen plainly.
One Of the most peculiar features of
the stone is the fact that the tracery
shows most plainly during damp
weather. and if it were on the south
side of the building. it is said. the sun
would soon bleach it's delicate tracery

SKILL IN NEEDLECRAFT.
Beautiful Pictures I'm Embroidery
Worked by a Gifted French
Woman.

A marvellous example Of what the
needle of one woman may accomplish
in embroidery has lately been exhib-
tied in London. 1t consists Of a series
of panels. IL in number, IL by 8 feer.
embroidered on cream satin.
In this work some 100 different
shades Of silk and chenille have been
employed. all being exquisitely blend
ed to produce the soft subdued tones
peculiar to the Louis XIV. period. The
subject of the panels, THE Months. .
is borrowed from celebrated Gobelin
tapestry. On each panel is represent
ed the figure Of some NEUROLOGICAL
deity. such as Venus, Juno, Mars and
others. surrounded by its respective
attributes and symbols, amidst a
wealth of flowers.
In this beautiful needle painting an
almost incredible variety and number
of stitches have been employed; on the
face Of the Venus alone 1000 stitches
are said to have been lavished.
The embroidery is the work Of Nine
Leroudier, an artist in needlecraft
from France, no longer living, speci-
mems of whose work have for some
years formed part Of many important
arts and crafts exhibitions in London
