These facts are quite apart from

fair-minded members of the cult as
to the general public.
Many millions of dollars-just how

Frye the Power in Household.
Calvin A. Frye is a great name in
Concord. He is a footman in livery
on the box of Mrs. Eddy's carriage
during the daily drives of the real Mrs
Leonard and fictitious Mrs. Eddy. He
is secretary at Pleasant View for the
rest of the time, the one in absolute
authority, who for three years has
guarded Mrs. Eddy with vigilance
known only in prisons
sDevotees, rich, socially prominent
and loyal to the cult, have been
turned away from the door of Pleasant
View by Frye. They have been as
sured that Mrs. Eddy, although in per-

work, and could not be disturbed

H Cornell Wilson, Christian Science
press agent for New York and vicin-

between the reporters and the house

Mcclellan, editor of the official Chris

to help, and L. C. Strang, the local
man, also was on the job.
"The first reporters to arrive de-
manded an interview. Wilson stood
them on, declaring last night Mrs.
Eddy was busy and the story hadn't
yet been called to her attention. He
announced he might have something
important to say if the reporters would
meet him at noon today at the Eagle

that an operation for the same malady

A Passing Art.

Among the cherished memories OF
certain charming old lady is that of a
teacher of her childhood, whose theory
OF life was reduced to simple princi-
pie: Learn to read well, young ladies
to enunciate distinctly, to modulate
the voice pleasingly, to interpret the
words of the author with sympathy
and understanding; learn to read well,
and all other virtues will follow. 1t
is possible that the requirement OF all
the virtues seems a slightly more COM
plicated matter than it did to the old
gentleman OF 20 years ago. Neverthe-
less, the advice is not to be laughed
away, if only because it recalls the
days when reading aloud was counted
one of the most desirable of the fine
arts of life. This is no reflection upon
the art of reading as taught in these
latter days; the question is not OF the
actual process, but of the place that
reading aloud used to held in family
life. Many a gray-haired man or wom-
an who never heard of round tables, -
and never discovered that authors had
early or late styles, yet knows his
Seoul OF 1HdCh0Tdy VI OndhOopCoiO as,
few young people of to-day ever know
them. In part, this is due to the fact
that the field of reading now covered
by young people is much larger than
it was half a century ago. A deeper
cause lies in the decline of the habit
of reading aloud, declares the Youths
Companion. We have no time now to
read aloud, we say. Perhaps not; yet
before we decide, might it not be well
to consider whether any other recrea-
ton offers more permanent pleasure
or greater enrichment to the life.
Books read aloud winter evenings
about the fire, with the whole family
sharing the interest and the discus
sions, will hold warmth of color
which time will not dim. Between
their pages will lie countless happy
memories treasure whose value will
deepen through all the years to come.

When Forks Were Novelties.

The first mention OF the use of forks
in history, the New York Herald says,
was at the table of John, the good
Duke of Burgundy, and he possessed
only two, one of gold and the other of
silver. At that period the loaves of
bread were made cylindrical. They
were cut in slices and piled upon
trencher and placed beside the host,
who carved the meat with a pointed
carving knife, holding the joint with
a skewer of wrought gold or silver,
which he stuck into the joint to hold it
secure while cutting the meat. Before
the use of this skewer fork leg or
shoulder of mutton always had piece
of white frilled paper decorating the
shank, which the carver held to steady
the joint. This decoration is still the
vogue in our delicatessen stores. When
1T first became customary to use forks,
a gentleman, on receipt of an invita-
ton to dinner, would send his servant
with his knife, fork and spoon, or, if he
had no servant, he would: carry them
in his breeches pockets, as a carpenter
carries his rule to-day. This ancient
custom still obtains among the peas
antry of certain countries of Europe.

New York-The World, of this city,
recently published a sensational story
to the effect that Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, the revered founder and head
of the Christian Science church, was
extremely feeble, physically and men
tally, and seemingly in the shadow of
death.
The allegation was made that the
daily drive seemingly taken by Mrs.
Eddy through the streets of Concord,
N. H, her home, was a fraud. The
World stated that ostensibly Mrs.
Eddy makes this daily public appear
ance, dressed in velvets and ermine,
to show her followers that she is in
perfect health. 1t is not Mrs. Eddy.
but an impersonator, trained and cos
TUNED for the part, who appears in the
exhibition drive.
The article continued:
This impersonator is now known
to be Mrs. Pamela J. Leonard, of
Brooklyn, head of the Christian Sci
ence church in that borough.
Mrs. Leonard has been an inmate
at Mrs. Eddy's home at Concord for
the last three years.
There she has perfected herself as
understudy to Mrs Eddy, and has
impersonated the head of the Chris
tan Science church in the daily ex-
hibition drives when to move the real
Mrs. Eddy from her bed would have
meant almost certain death to the en-.
feebled woman.
