Last Sunday afternoon a party
of four persons-two men and
two women drove through town,
and one of the men blew a bugle,
while another announced that
there would be preaching on the
street in McConnellsburg at 7;30
that evening. They claimed to
be representatives of the Israel
lte House of David, a sect with
headquarters at Benton Harbor,
Mich. At half past seven, one
of the men and one of the women
appeared on the street between
Trout's drug store, and Seylar s
drug store, and began to preach.
1t was not long until they had
more of an audience than is usual
ly found IN any of the churches
ia town on Sunday evening. The
man preached first and then the
woman. Both were fluent takers,
and did not take any exceptions
to the bible--in fact, they quoted
passage after passage to prove
their arg ument. They seemed to
be very sincere in their belief, but
their doctrines were radically DIFF.
ferent from what the average or.
thodox preacher teaches. Just
one example: They teach that
at death, our mortal bodies are
destroyed; our spirits go to the
God who gave them, and our
souls lie in the grave until the res
direction, when they will be call.

How Sawdust Is Used Abroad.

Sawdust IS one of the puzzllng
wastes In lum berlng operations.
In several European countries a
new way has been found of turn
ing 1T to account. The sawdust,
chiefly pine and fir, is ground
with millstones, exactly as old
time mills made cornmeal, or
wheat or rye flour.
Sawdust flour is sold to dyna-
mite factories to be mixed with
nltroglycerlne and forms the
body or absorbent for that high
explosive. It's also in demand
for the manufacture of cheap
blottlpg papers. The mills IN
the Hartz mountains, in Ger.
many, an important manufactur-
ing centre, are kept busy meet
ing this demand.
The price of the "hour" in
Germany ranges from $3.50 to
$l2.50a ton. 1t is shipped IN
bags, like meal, or in bales of
about 40 cubic feet, made by
means of high pressure.
