Woman Sexton.


From the London Leader
Crowland Abbey. i'm the Lincolnshire Fens,
can furnish a notable record in the family
of sections who have done duty there for
nearly two hundred years At the present
time Miss S. ]. Hill, a lady sexton. holds
the office. and her brother father and
grandfather are her direct predecessors in
the office Her grandfather, James Hill,
YVES fifty Years sexton and died at the
age of seventyfour; her father, Mr.. John
Hill, was twentyfour- years sexton, and
died at the age of seventy-one; her brother,
Mr.. William James Hill. was three years
sexton. and lost his life through an acct
dent in 1900 at thesage of thrty-four; and
at a special vestry meeting Miss s. ]. Hill
was appointed sexton, and has accordingly
for over six years carried out the duties of
the office. This carries the record back to
1924. But tablet in Crowland Abbey re-
cords the fact that two earlier members of
the Hill family-the great-grandfather and
the great-great- grandfather of the present
sexton-were holders of the Office. This
dates it back to 1862. and since then the
Hill family have without break been sex
tons at Crowland Abbey. though report car
ries ii back TO still earlier date
The tablet records that William HILL the
create reat-grandfather of the present lady
sexton. although quite blind through injury
received in a snowstorm could point out
the place of any grave In the churchyard
There is still a probability of the family
record being continued, for Miss Hill has a
young nephew. the son of the previous
holder of the office, who may in the future
aspire to the position.

Secrets We Are Losing.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
I'VE are losing all our secrets In this
shoddy age" an architect said. IF we
keep on, the time will come when We'll be
able to do nothing well.
Take, for instance. steel We claim to
make good steel, yet the blades the Sara
Gems turned out hundreds of years ago
would cut one of our own blades in two
like butter.
"Take ink Our modern ink fades in five
or ten years to rust color, yet the Ink of
medieval manuscripts is as black and
bright today as it was 700 years ago.
Take dyes. The beautiful blues and
reds and greens of antique oriental rugs
have all been lost, while in Egyptian tombs
we find fabrics dyed thousands of years
ago that remain today brighter and purer
in hue than any of our modern fabrics.
Take my speciality. buildings. We
can't build as the ancents did. The secret
of their mortar and cement is lost to US.
Their mortar and cement were actually
harder and more durable than the stones
they bound together, whereas ours-hor-
rors!
I'VE can't even make artificial diamonds
now. Old brilliants of French paste We're
so beautiful that they could hardly be told
from real brilliants by experts. But the
secret of this French paste, like hundred
other secrets of the days Of conscientious
work. is irretrievably lost.

Good brushes expensive, but pro-
vided they are properly cared for they are
worth being bought.
After tooth and nail brushes have been
used they should always be placed in such
a position that all water will drain from
them and tooth brushes should be pre-
served from soil by little cover bought
to protect them.
Household brushes also last long time
if properly cared for and never allowed to
rest on the bristles. Long handled and
short ones alike should be hung up or
propped on shelf, says Woman's Life.
The best cleansing preparation for
brushes is a solution made by dissolving
one pound of washing soda in quart of
water. This should be stirred over the fire
until dissolved, and used in the proportion
of one tablespoonful to quart of water.
A little soap should be employed for soft
hair brushes and cold water for rinsing
them Wash them by dabbing them upon
the surface of the water, and dry them in
the open air.

The Girl No Man Wants.

The kind of girl who expects her path to
be strewn with bouquets, chocolates thea
ter tickets and treats generally will find
her popularity short lived, no matter how
charming she may be.
The average young mans pocket cannot
stand the strain long, and he will turn to
some other girl less attractive perhaps but
who will be content with the attentions he
can afford to bestow on her.
1t is a girls place, says Health, to see
that the expenses young man incurs for
her pleasure shall not exceed what he can
easily afford.

Treatment for a Sick Child.
from the Pictorial Review.

r
In all cases of illness the child should be
undressed put to bed and kept as quiet as
possible until medical advice has been Sc
cured as confusion, excitement and the ad-
ministration of drugs without an adequate
knowledge of their action often do much
harm. If there are other children in the
house, an ailing child should always be
isolated until a diagnosis has been made
or one is assured that no contagious or In
fectious disease is present.
1t is we'll to know that bruises and bumps,
of which most babies get their share while
learning to walk may be prevented from
turning black-and- blue by the immediate
application of butter. In case of Group, hot
applications to the throat and inhalations
of steam may give some relief until help
arrives.

Crocodile Car. Ired Slave Trader.

From the London Tri' ne.
The trade in sla -es has entirely ceased
in Sokoto, but Fl Banehi there was a
recrudescence of 1t, due to famine, the peo-
nile preferring to scll themselves as slaves
rather than starvc freemen. Ten years
ago. It is recalled, the entire Angass tribe
sold themselves into slavery, but when the
famine is over they take the first oppor-
tunity to desert. In the province of Muri
famine gave great impetus to the trade in
children, who were sold for food. One grim
incident is recorded: The canoes" says
