house Is full, the lower part being
soon filed, as shown in Fig. 6.
To prevent the water from running
off the edges, a wall of ice is formed
by first stretching cheesecloth all
around the edge and then spraying
with water. The object of making the
icicles is to support the large sheets
of ice. which would be unable to hold
the weight Of the water without the
use of the ice columns.
When the ice house is full, the walls
are closed up tight until the ice is
wanted. A small door is then opened
and the ice is mined out as wanted,
the cracks between the layers greatly
facilitating the operation Of splitting
it up into symmetrical pieces OF uni
form size.

New York.-The World, of this city,
recently published a sensational story
10 the effect that Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, the revered founder and head
of the Christian Science church, was
extremely feeble, physically and e
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

tuned for the part, who appears in the

The article continued:
'This impersonator is now known

Brooklyn, head of the Christian Sci
enee 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
im~personated the head of the Chris

hibition drives when to move the real

Mrs. Eddy is powerless in the

ployment of Mrs. Leonard's services
is for a deep purpose. Just what that
purpose is may be easily imagined.

facts bearing directly upon the sur.

TantaIum Pens.

A new pen has recently come upon
the market in Europe for which con-
siderable success is predicted. There
pens are made of tantalum In substi-
tuition for steel. They are more iexi-
BILE than gold pens and more durable
than those of steel, since they resist
corrosion, and can with difficulty be
spotted with INK. At the same time
their points are exceedingly hard.

These facts are quite apart from
the tenets of Christian Science, 81
called, and will appeal as forcibly to
fair-minded members Of the cult as
70 the general public.
MANY millions of dollars-just how
many the records fail to show-have
passed into Mrs. Eddy's personal pos
session since the founding of the
Christian Science cult. Millions of
her books have been sold, and each
book has yielded her a royalty Of one
aollar.
From the mother church in Boston
she yearly receives a great sum, con
tributed by devotees in all parts of
the world in the form of annual dues.
One of her closest friends and follow
ers estimates Mrs. Eddy's fortune at
SIS, 600, 900, and her annual income at

At Meeting of Committee Saturday Night
County Fair Premium List
Revised
MANY EXHIBITS CHANGED

The cattle exhibit was divided into
five classes. Heretofore the cattle
exhibit has been made up of one class
only. This arrangement will meet
with the general approval among the
cattle men.
The hog exhibit will also be ar
ranged into five classes.
The great increase will be made in
the number of prizes in the poultry
exhibit and 1t is believed that the
exhibit :, i'll be double in size compar-
ed with last years exhibit. The prem
ium list will be nearly double.
The creating of these new classes
necessarily means the creating of new
premiums and therefore will offer
better Inducements for more extern
sive exhibits.
The premium list question and ex-
hibit proposition have been carefully
studied by the committee and its work
Will doubtless result in the best
series of exhibits ever shown in the
county. The revised premium list
