The apparent diameter of an object is
inversely proportional to its distance
from the eye, |. e., If the distance is
reduced to one-half, the diameter
will appear twice as large; if the
distance is reduced to one-third, the
diameter will appear three times as
large, and so on. AS the nearest dis
tance at which the average person
can see an object clearly is about six
inches, 1t follows that the diameter
of an object three-fourths of an inch
from the eye would appear eight
times the normal size. The object
would then be magnified eight diam
eters. or sixty-four times. (The area
would appear siyty-four times as
large.) But an object three-fourths
of an inch from the eye appears so
blurred that none of the details are
discernible, and 1t is for this reason
that the pin-hole is employed.
Viewed through this microscope,
a fiys wing appears as large as a
persons hand, held at arms length,
and has the general appearance
shown in Fig. 8. The mother of vim
egar examined in the same way is
seen to be swarming with a mass of
wriggling little worms, and may pos
sihly cause the observer to abstain
from all salads forever after. An in
nocent looking drop of water, in
which hay has been soaked for sew
eral days, reveals hundreds of little
infusoria, darting across the field in
every direction. These and hun
dreds of other interesting objects may
be observed in this little instrument,
which costs little or nothing to make.

Sister Mary" was the rag doll who

Brother Franks wife, who had made
her for Marian, and who was Sister

BENEVOLENT ORDER NO. 1o6 IN
STALLS OFFICERS AND DIED.
ICATES NEW HALL.

On Wednesday night April Is, Be
nevolent Order No. 106, held its an
nual installation in their new hall on
Maury street. In connection with the
installation services was the dedica-
ton of their beautiful building. The
hall is a two-story brick structure,
32XG0 The first story consists of four
living rooms in the rear and a large
store room in the front These rooms
will be rented at prices that will yield
the society good returns. The loca-
ton makes the building desirable
one for a grocery or dry goods store,
and the living rooms will demand
ready tenants, being situated in one
of the best neighborhoOds in the city.
The hall, which measures 30X50 in
side, will be used for lodge and public
meetings, and will also be available
for entertainments. its spaciousness
making it very much to be desired.
The exercises Wednesday night
were very impressive from many
points of view. The members of this
lodge have been struggling for many
years to secure a hall of their own,
and their countenances Wednesday
night showed that they are happy
people Again, it was plain that the
race is thinking, and is progressing
with the times. Their brick hall with
hardwood furnishings, is another evil
dence that they have been observing
the progress of others The hall was
beautifully decorated with flowers and
bunting, the presidents stand being
completely lost in a bed of roses and
other cut flowers.
Several prominent speakers were
present, who added life to the occa-
sion, among whom were Mr.. VIM. Nc
Gavock DR.. S. S. Caruthers, Rev.
Preston Taylor, Mr. Aston, DR.. ]. G.
Hale. Mr.. A. n. Johnson, Mr.. Elliston
and Mr.. D. A. Hart. The gentlemen
made short talks that were enjoyed by
the large assembly Of members and
friends. At the close of the exercises
and the speaking the refreshment
committee served the members and
| guests to an abundance Of refresh
ments.

SATISFACTION I'M BAPTISMAL
GARMENTS.
The Supply Department Secures a
Tremendous Success in Supply
ing Baptismal Garments
TO Ministers.

There is no doubt but that this
winter has been one Of the greatest
in the history of the Christian
church when it comes to revivals.
Hundreds of souls have been saved
Scores of able ministers, both pas
tors and evangelists, have conducted
successful meetings and now they are
making preparations to take care of
those converts who are candidates
for baptism.
AS a result, they are needing bap-
tismal garments Many have asked
themselves and their co-laborers as
well, where they could get a good bap-
thing garment. If they had called on
the Supply Department of the Nation
al Baptist Publishing Board, they
would have found the proper place.
A large number of sales has been
made by the Board this year. For
instance, Rev. r. J. Goodall, who is
pastoring the leading Baptist church
in GAINESVILLE, Tenn, and who pur-
chased a baptismal garment, sends
the following communication:
Gentlemen:
please find enclosed a check for
$3.50 for my baptismal garment,
which I received at 4 p. m, Friday |
baptized Sunday and used the gar
ment. It gives perfect satisfaction.
The deacons are we'll pleased with the
purchase.
