Effort to Enjoin.

members of the Cumberland Presbyter-
ian church have appealed to the Third
district appellate court from the judg-
ment of the Macon county circuit court
denying an injunction restraining the
church from uniting with the Presby-
terians. According to the orators in
the case there are 100, 900 members of
the Cumberland Presbyterian faith who
object to the proposed consolidation.
The Cumberland church was organized
on Feb. 4. 1910. after a dispute in the
Presbyterian church over the doctrine
of election and Reproduction. Directors
to the consolidation set out that they
do not believe in this doctrine.

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.

How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.
The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Ameri-
ca became known to the people is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor of
the hand was with some friends in a
photographers one day and while
talking, held up a piece of candy.
The pose of the hand with its per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph it. The re-
suit was beautiful picture kept in
the family until one day, after read
ing letter from someone inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements. Mr.. Post
said to his wife, I'VE receive SO
many inquiries of this kind, that it Is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let the advertis-
Using department have that picture
of your hand to print and name it "a
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has as
sisted him in preparation of some of
the most famous advertisements).
There was a natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
of extending welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape-Nuts
so the picture appeared on the back
covers of many of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
1t as probably the most perfect hand
in the world.
The advertising dept. of the Post
UNI Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of
the public. by refraining from giving
the name of the owner when the pic
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later in one of
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking TO induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming adyer-
tisements to learn the name OF the
owner.
This combination OF art and COM
meree and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration of
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life of large
manufacturers whose names become
household words through extensive
and continuous announcements In
newspapers and periodicals..

Iapanese Exodus TO Korea.

Every batch of news from Korea
tells of migrating Japanese who have
left their islands and landed on the
big peninsula, where they expect to
settle in one or another of the fertile
valleys that may be turned into fine
gardens. This movement of the Japa-
nese farmers to the mainland was to
be expected as soon as the predomin-
ance of Japanese influence began to
be asserted. There is not a country in
the world that needs more room than
Japan does, with its 100000 people
and seven-eighths of its island empire
covered with mountains that are mag
niflcent but can never be made to
contribute largely to the support, of a
rapidly increasing people. The Japa-
nese government is encouraging this
western movements of its frugal and
industrious farmers and the large area
of fertile lands still lying waste in
Korea bids fair to give the opportun-
ity that Is so sorely needed by the
swelling tide of Japanese life.

PEN SKETCH OF THOMAS HARDY
Eminent Author Not Adapted for the
Role of "lionv

Role of "Lion."
Thomas Hardy, though a frequent
visitor to London, still makes his
home in Dorchester, near which he
was born and where he has lived al
most his entire life. He is said to be
quite Indifferent to the social fame
that successful novel-writing brings.
He always looks a little too grave
and distant to be quite at his ease in
the midst of the jangle of smart con-
versation," writes correspondent
who has seen the author recently, "but
at small literary dinner he becomes
at once sympathetic and interesting
and can be grave and gay. In stature
he is short, trinity built; the face is
intellectual, the forehead deeply lined
with thought, the dome of the head
expansive and thinly covered with
hair The eyes are meditative, eau
tious; now and then lighting up with
kindly humor, but generally very sad.
Mr.. Hardy always looks as though he
were a watcher, sitting apart from
the battle of life and noting down the
defeats of the day"

EXPENSE OF PASTE DIAMONDS
Material from Which Imitation Gems
Are Made Is Not Cheap.


Are Made Is Not Cheap.
Paste" from which imitation
precious stones are made, is widely
known, but few are acquainted with
the ingredients, though it is generally
understood that the paste gains its
brilliancy from the lead it contains.
Formulas vary for the paste. but
all contain rock crystal, red lead, car
Donate of potash, borax and white ar
senic.
1t is required that these articles
shall be of a higher grade of purity,
as there Is considerable waste, so
that the gems made from "strass," as
the composition is technically known,
are by no means inexpensive.
A paste diamond cannot scratch
glass and is thus easily detected, but
colored stones are made of crystal
alone that are considerably harder
than glass.
In the making of these a crystal
stone is followed out and filled with
some colored liquid, the orifice being
closed with plug of crystal, which is
ground down so that there is no trace
OF the junction.-New York Herald.
