Letters at the Church.

'That seems a tremendously big
bunch of mail to be delivered at a
church," remarked an early caller to
the sexton.
"A good deal of it belongs to the pa
rishioners," he explained. 81 do not
mean to the regular worshipers, but to
persons who drop in for an occasional
service. They are mostly comparative
strangers in town. When leaving
home, they have no idea what they
will do or where they will be located,
so in order to relieve the anxiety Of
their friends they give Instructions to
send their mail to some church of
which they have all heard. The mere
fact that the wanderers have to call
at such place once or twice a week
for letters is considered a guarantee
Of their safety. The pastors welcome
such an arrangement. 1t may be an
additional responsibility to take care
of the letters, but it keeps them in
touch with many strangers who other
wise probably would not go near a
church. New York Sun.

The Primary coIors.

Primary colors are the colors into
which white light is separated by the
dispersion of prism. Those named
by Newton are red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo and violet. Artists
reduce these to three, red, yellow and
blue. Scientists generally consider red,
green and blue to represent the pri-
mary color sensations, and in one the
ory there are supposed to be three
sets of nerves in the retina which can
respond to these three colors. The idea
of three primary eolors is that from
the combination OF these three all haes
may lie produced which are to be
found Il white light.
