opportunity. If you acted thus l would
certainly take the hint and leave as
soon as possible. Neither should you
be rude in church etiquette.
During the last part of the sermon
you should not be signing and turning
around to watch the clock. During the
last hymn and the last prayer you
should remember that you are there to
sing the praises of God, to hear his
message or to commune with him, and
you should not meanly steal that time
away from him to button up your coat
and fix your wraps and put on your
gloves. From the beginning of the
service to the end you should honor
the church, the church altar, the SER
mon and the music, because in so do
ing you are honoring Christ.
AS we began with the words, ''That
thou mayest know how thou oughtest
to behave thyself in the house of God"
let us close with the psalmist's words
which he wrote for the temple when
David sang, 81 was glad when they
said unto me, Let us go into the house
Of the Lord" He meant it. Let us
prove by our actions ald our observ-
ance of church etiquette that public
worship is not drudgery and repul-
sive slavery, but joy, happiness
and an opportunity for continuous gos
pei pleasure. Let us worship "the Lord
in the beauty of holiness with refined
and consecrated church manners.

The sold Nanny Is No More.

Have you thought about it-that the
war ended here in Macon in April,
1865, nearly thirty-nine years ago?
And who was an "old nanny" then?
She was not one of those fresh young
negro women of twenty or thirty.
No. indeed She was that unctuous
sable and soulful old negress with the
madras kerchief around her neck and
the spotless apron pendent from the
waist, who ruled the roost of the white
brood of the family. She was brevet
mistress of the menage-bossess of the
bathroom and the observation-disclosures
in chief of the keys and the kids! If
any one of her kind is alive today she
must be nearly eighty years of age
and how few of that kind do you meet
In your daily walksl
All, no! The "old nanny" is no
more, and she has left no descendants.
She lives only in fiction and memory.

THE ALBATROSS.
Curious and Elaborate Dances In
Which II Participates.

Curious and Elaborate Dances In
Which II Participates.
1t is well known that many of the
cranes and other long legged wading
birds indulge in curious antics that
partake closely of the nature of the
human dance, but it is not known 10
many persons that the albatross has
the most elaborate and ceremonious
dance of them all.
Only very few have ever seen the al
batross on land; probably nine persons
out of ten who have seen the wonder
full birds at all have observed them
only ON the ocean.
One of the nesting places of this
great winged creature is the island OF
Laysan, in the Pacific ocean, and there
at times the ground is absolutely Gov
cred with their nests. 1t is on Laysan
that the albatross dance was first seen
by lucky scientist
The ceremony begins when a lot of
the birds are grouped in circle. Two
will advance toward each other, bend
ing and nodding their heads in exact
imitation of the human bow. Then
they spar with their bills, crossing
them gently and still making funny
little bows. Then one bird will lower
its head and stand quite still in that
pose, while the other throws its head
back till the bill points straight into
the air. 1t puffs out its breast and ad
vances with a queer fantastic strut
uttering a curious grunt The other
bird begins to snap its bill till it pro
duces the sound of castanets.
So the two will alternate, advancing
and retreating and bowling to each 9th.
er by turns. Sometimes one will pich
up bit of grass or feather and Offer
1t to the other. Then second couple
will join the dance. and at last as many
as forty of he huge birds may be en-
gagged in the queer pastime.

ENCAUSTlC PAINTING.
The Art Was Practiced by Ancien
Greeks and Romans.


Greeks and Romans.
The use of paint brushes is of great
antiquity. But as late as the fifteenth
century it was customary TO apply var
nish by smearing it on with the fingers
or with a bit of sponge, as the var
nishes then used were too viscid to
flow well with brush and could be put
on more thinly and evenly with the fin
gers. This practice was used in the
earliest times of which there is any
record. The Egyptian mummy cases
bear evidence of having been varnish-
ed in this manner.
The use of fresco or water color
only method known to the ancients
The Greeks and Romans especially
practiced encaustic painting. Encaustic
plants were made of clarified bees
wax, with which, when melted, pig
ments were mixed. These paints were
applied hot with brushes or spatul@,
and when cold they were given a glazed
surface by holding a torch or hot iron
near them. The hot iron was called
the "cauterium."
Another method is said to have been
to melt the wax with rosin, and after
the pigment was added the compound
was allowed to cool to a hard and brit
tie mass. which would be pulverized.
The colored powders made in this way
were mixed with water, so that they
could be applied with brush like fres.
co paint, after which they We're melt
ed by the cauterium. If rosns were
thus used with the wax, a sort Of var.
nish was the result. If the wax was
used alone, the finished painting was
sometimes vanished. These colorc j
wakes were also used for writing. The
red especially was used for royal sig
natures, whence the use of red sealing
wax for a sell. And this 'fncausticum,
as it was called in the middle ages, is
the origin of our word ink.-Cassier's

Logical Answer.

After the Hon. Cave johnson had
served his long and brilliant career In
congress and had retired to the quiet
of private life, he once stepped into
the Office of his nephew, Robert John
son, then young lawyer of much
promise, and finding the young man
engaged in writing with a gold pen
had occasion to remark upon the ex-
travagance of the rising generation.
''Why is it," he asked, that every
young man now has his gold pen, while

The Gar and the Flag.

When the cZar proposes to present
new standards to his regiments, the
flags with their poles are placed on a
table in the Winter palace, and when
the officers and men are assembled the
czar and his family enter the room.
The car then examines the flag and
after making the sign of the cross
takes hammer and drives in the first
golden nail which fastens the stand
ard to the pole. He then hands the
hammer to the empress dowager, who,
with the same ceremonies, drives in
the second nail. The czarina then
drives in the third nail, and the car

generals. of the staff, the officers of
the regiment and finally the soldiers
drive in other nails till the silk is fixed

AS GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE.
some of the Odd Reasons That Are
Assigned In Petitions.

THE Chicago map who recently ap-
piled for divorce and gave as one OF
the grounds at least the fact that he
could not stand the jokes of his wifes
female friends directs attention again
to some of the odd facts in connection
with the American divorce system, -
remarked a popular young lawyer yes
terday, "and really some of the rea-
sons assigned as ground for divorce
are odd in the extreme.
Persons who are engaged in fight
ing the divorce evil as they call it,
could spend the time no more profita-
bly, than by inquiring into the method
in which the legal grounds for divorce
have been interpreted by the courts of
the country. l was looking over a re-
port the other night cited by an Eng
lish writer and was much amused at
some of the allegations set forth in
divorce petitions. Really it is a mix
ture of the comic and tragic. A hus-
band accused his wife's sister of theft.
and the injury to the wife's feelings is
made ground for divorce. During our
whole married life,' says another, my
husband has never once offered to
take me out riding. This has been
source of great mental suffering and
injury The husband whose wife com
planned in another petition that he did
not wash himself, thereby infiicting
on plaintiff great mental anguish
must have been disciple of the Chica-
go physician who recently declared
against the bath.
'The complaint in another petition,
filed by the wife, was that the husband
quotes verses from the New Tesla
ment about wives obeying their hus-
bands. He has even threatened to mash
the plaintiff and has drawn back his
hand to do it. Still another wife, ac-
cording to the author quoted, alleged
in her petition that her husband did not
come home till 10 o'clock at night, and
when he does come home he keeps
plaintiff awake talking 1t is also
charged that he keeps a saloon, which
sorely grieves mind of plaintiff These
are only a few of the cases which
might be mentioned to show the liberal
manner in which the courts of the coun-
try deal with the question Of mental
or mental cruelty "-Galves-

school ChiIdren Indianized.

The teacher at the Red Store has a
complaint to make against her pupils.
The Red Store is an Indian trading
post as old as Fort Sill, and the chill
dren who live there have grown up at
tending the mission school with the In
dian children and associating with
them in their play. AS result the
white children have learned the Indian
language, wear gaudy sashes, paint
their faces and put feathers in their
hair. They shoot arrows as well as
young bucks. They are now attending
their first district school and, though
holding high regard for authority, re-
fuse to be taught as civilized people.
They read their lessons aloud in study
and insist on wearing feathers, sashes,
paint and brass earrings and finger
rings in the schoolroom. They jabber
half the time in Comanche and eontin-
ne to run away to the mission school,
where the Indian children are. The
teacher has resolved that educating an
white child in the Indian Ian
guage is quite as onerous as educating
the real Indian.-Kansas City Journal.
