Eddie Foy, who has found another

horticulture or Horticulture and he is
having great fun with those friends
who in the prevalent ignorance of the
botany of the plant, the orchid, show a
curious interest In the floral title OF
the play.
Toward the last of his recent run in
Philadelphia he met an old manager
friend, who asked him;
What the dickens Is this Orchid?'
Eddie's part had been well learned,
and he came back with his lines. ITS

about to go into his CD scientific dis

ment in the plot directly upward along
a rocky gorge toward the back of the
Stage. But on this especial evening
Miss Bates horse thought that his ex.
perience as an actor was sufficient to
enable him to act for himself. When
the sandstorm began he began to
prance, and as Miss Bates was about
to mount him he became so unruly
that she was unable to gain a firm
seat upon him in sidesaddle fashion.
But she must mount the horse and
she must ride him up to Chellalah

pieces. She hesitated not an instant,
but leaped upon his back astride and
so saved the scene and won for her.

BETTER THAN THEY KNEW.
Row Church That Trusted in the
Lord Was INDICATED.

a congregation in hilly district in
Ohio bought a small tract Of land and
erected a church building upon it.
Then the question OF insurance came
up, says the Youths Companion Mr.
Sipes, the wealthiest member, who
had contributed half the money need
ed for the new structure, declared that
he did not believe in insurance. This
is the Lords building He'll take care
of it," he said.
His view prevailed, and there was
no insurance. In a few weeks the
building was struck by lightning and
almost totally consumed by fire, Mr..
Sipes contributing the greater por-
ton of the fund, as before This time
the demand was almost unanimous
that it be insured, but Mr.. Sipes again
objected on the same ground.
II it burns down again. brethren"
he said, III agree to rebuild it my
self"
Again he carried his point. In less
than month the new church was
STRUCK by LSntnlng again ana although
strenuous efforts were made TO save
it, the loss was almost total
There must be some reason for
this, brethren" said Brother Sipes. Il
am going to find out what it is"
Thereupon he employed a force of
men to sink a shaft on the site Of the
twice-destroyed church. Within a few
days a rich vein Of iron ore was found
and the church property was sold for
many times the amount needed to
buy land in another locality and build
again.
Il tell you, brethren said Brother
Sipes, lit pays to trust the Lord. He's
a great deal better business manager
than anybody in this congregation.

TEA INSTEAD OF WHISKY.
What Is Being Done in England to
Lessen Liquor Drinking.

Tea gardens are established
wherever possible, prizes are offered
for the pTettiest, best-kept premises,
and luncheons and teas are served to
motorists and cyclists in bright, coy
rooms entirely separated from the bar.
A decided difference is made as to the
accommodations in the bar and those
in the refreshment rooms; the for
mer plain and clean but not attractive,
the latter adorned with pictures. and
flowers blooming in window boxes,
and furnished with plenty of little
tables and comfortable chairs. and in
many cases daily papers on f1ie Sales
OF liquor have fallen off, while tea,
conse and food are sold in large guam
titles. 1t is found that even those
who have been in the habit of tip
ping will order tea and coffee read
lily, when the cost is the same and the
substitutes are really good. Eight
gallons of tea have been sold in one
house before breakfast; in another,
where only intoxicants had formerly
been sold, luncheons and teas were
served tol720 persons during the first
five months of company management.
Quaint, old-fashioned names for the
inns have been retained-such as the
Royal Oak, Hare and Hounds, Red
Lion, Green Man, Norfolk Hero, Rose
and Crown, Rose and Portcullis. the
Plume of Feathers, etc.
Profits from the sale of liquor. says
the Craftsman, have paid for improv-
ed lighting, water supply, drinking
fountains, district nurses, infrmaries,
school funds, libraries, baths and
