At meeting of the Frostburg Minis
terial Association held June % the fol-
lowing paper was unanimously passed:
WHEREAS, The Young Mems Christian
Association of Frostburg has recently in
stalled new General Secretary, Mr.. Charles
III. Nuttle, it seems fitting that the Minis
rcral Association should again express its
appreciation of the value of that institution
Its worth has been satisfactorily demon
strated during the past four years, and the
church may now undoubtedly look upon it
as a valuable auxiliary. Moreover, its value
to the community is such that every adj
vocate of sterling manhood, whether a
Christian or not, ought to give it his hearty
support.
As ministers of the Gospel we assure the
new Secretary of our deep interest in the
Association, and our willingness heartily to
cooperate with him in extending its in
ilucnCe and enlarging its usefulness.

acquaintance with men who have made
history. 1t belonged originally to Louis
XIV, passed into the possession OF

smaller than an English table. The
body of the table is a block of oak,
weighing 10000 pounds, covered with a
cloth of electric blue. The frame is of
rosewood. and the six pockets-perhaps
the most striking feature of the table
are reproductions in bronze of queer.

THE HOUSES OF MEXICO.
S0IfdIy Bui1t of Brick or Adobes and
But Little wood Is Used I'm
Any of Them.

There is q minimum of wood used
for house construction in the cities OF
Mexico, and there is absolutely nothing
to burn except what furnishings the
houses may contain, says Arboriculture.
The walls are solidly built of stone and
brick, or, in the less costly structures,
of adobes, which are thickiy piastered
inside and out with mortar or stuccO.
The floors are of brick, stone or tiles,
while the roofs are of brick, laid In
mortar, or, in some cities, OF semi-cyl-
indrical clay tiles. Many roofs are
ached with brick, laid fat, not on edge.
and it is marvellous how slight a curve
is given some of these arches. Yet they
support heavy weights and have lasted
through centuries
Flat roof are supported by 6x6-inch
hewn pine 1oists, placed eight inches
apart. These joists are often 20 feet
in length. The doors are heavy, hang
ing upon ornamented wrought straK
hinges, and secured by strong, hand
made locks, which have remarkably
large, complicated keys. Practically
the only wood used in construction are
the doors and 1oists which support the
roof. The church roofs are invariably
of brick arches, usually several arches
in each. There are no such fire traps in
Mexico as those mansard roofs OF
French and American cities, or the frail
dwellings Of China. or the universal
wooden structures which have made
fire insurance SO great burden in the
United States, and which cause so great
and continuous expenditures for fire
protection

RATTLERs DONE IN STONE.
VenomOus Reptiles Clearly Outlined
In Tracery indianapolis
Federal Building

One of the plinths in the north front
of the new federal building promises
i'll for the peace of mind of the in
veterate topper, for on it's surface in a
delicate tracery is apparently the OUT
line of many ratt1esnakes, says the In
dianapOliS News. An old stone man
from the Bedford quarries called at
tention to the freak several days ago
and said that such markings were very
unusual
According to his story these snakea
existed many years ago, in prehistorie
times, back In the era when the plots
for fairy stories were laid. Possibly
these snakes were cold, according tc
his story, anyway they coiled closely
to one another and in that form wers
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 tracerJ
shows most plainly during damp
weather, and if it were on the south
side of the building, 1t is said, the sun
would soon bleach it's delicate tracery
until it would be no longer discernible
On account Of its present situation the
sun seldom reaches it, but when it does

BIRTHDAYS IN JAPAN.
StnguIar Thing About Them Is Every
Boy In Supposed to he Born
ON March 3.

With the exception of the emperor
there are no individual birthdays in de-
lightfuliy interesting Japan The peo-
pie. however, make up for this neglect by
having sort Of general birthday OF
everybody in common, which Is cele-
brated with great rejoicing.
There are two of these general holi-
days, enc for each sex. The male birth
day. which is known as the celebration
of the boys" occurs on the third day Of
the third month and the fifth day of the
fifth month. These days are generally
put aside and boys and girls respectively
receive presents according to their sta
ton.
The birthday of the emperor, or Ten-o.
as he is more properly styled, is also q
general holiday for the Japanese every
where. The houses are all decorated
with flags, and in the evening the streets
are gay with the lights of innumerable
colored lanterns. In the morning the
highest authorities go to the palace and
offer their congratulations in person and
the lower degrees offer them vicariously
to their superiors. All the japanese
would. somehow or other, congratulate
their monarch on having added another
year to his age
