REALIZE VALUE OF PRINTING.
Churches Show Appreciation Of Great
Importance of Literature.

One of the present day signs Of the
church's appreciation of the impor-
tance of publicity is shown by the
amount of literature that is distributed
every Sunday by clergymen of all de-
nominations to those who attend the
service. Most Catholic parishes
throughout the greater city publish a
monthly magazine of from II to 20
pages, and many Episcopal churches
issue weekly bulletins of at least four
pages. In one of the Trinity chapels
last Sunday a special pamphlet of 10
pages, with eight illustrations and two
maps, was distributed at the door,
and an advertisement on the back
showed that it was the SO5th "leatiet
of it's kind issued. While most of this
literature is by way of an appeal for
funds and a greater personal interest
in religious matters, not a little OF
the text is educational along church
lines. The musical director of st.
Patricks cathedral has evolved plan,
through this same avenue of print, OF
teaching the congregation to phrase
two hymns properly by furnishing
the hymn cards that are left in each
pew with an index of signs marking
the congregations part of the hymn,
| that of the choir, and one as to the
proper places of breathing. Print is
also called upon here for another pur'
pose of the same general import, for
on the swinging leather doors-just
where they will catch the eye-are
tackled typewriter lists of books suit
able for Lenten reading. 1t would
seem that the church, like trade, real

The observation of those who have
seen the dowager empress OF Russia in
London this trip is that she looks
old enough to be the mother of her
sister, Queen Alexandra, who is three
years her senior. 1t is impossible to
live some 40 years with the constant
fear Of bombs and death before one
and remain young. Scarcely rem
nant of tho beauty which distinguished
Princess Dagmar of Denmark can be
traced in the mother of the czar, and
apparently the royal lady does not
try to keep herself up to the mark,
either. She dresses severely and wears
her hair in a very urSecoming old
fashioned style. In short, there is
nothing smart" about the Czarina
Marie. Poor soul!

Little Noise In Berlin.

Berlin is said to be the most quiet
city in Europe. Railway engines are
not allowed to blow their whistles
within the city limits. There is no
loud bawling of hucksters, and a man
whose wagon gearing is loose and rat
tling is subject to fine The courts
have a large discretion as to fines fo!
noise-making. Strangest of all, piano
playing is regulated in Berlin. Be-
fore. a certain hour in the day and
after certain hour in the night the
piano must be silent in that musical
city. Even during the playing hours
a fine is imposed for mere pounding
on the piano.

Old Boots Made Valuable,

The Gaulois of Paris has been en-.
tertaining it's readers with a patent
leather boot story. 1t seems that
every six months each sewer man OF
Paris receives a pair of heavy boots.
At the end of the period these articles
are worthless as far as the original
purpose is concerned, but they have
actually increased in value The old
boots are sold to the leather dressers,
it is said, as the conditions under
which they have been used make the
leather peculiarly adapted for con
version into patent leather for dress
shoes.
