"Does advertising pay? We'll, should say it did, particularly in re. ligion," said the Rev Francis A. H. Poole, pastor of the First Congrega- tional church of Barre, Vt. MT Poole took charge of the church three years ago when it was moribund organiza- tion. He placed advertisements in the Sunday morning papers-big ones half page when he had the money : and he told the people what was going on in the church each Sunday. "As a result" said Mir Poole to-day "the con- rgegation has doubled in three years. And at to-day's meeting of the trus- tees we decided to enlarge the church building to just twice it, present size. -TNew York Tribune.

A PLEASANT GATHERING.
MRS W. S. WALSH ENTERTAINS.

A very pleasant gathering of yount people met at the home of Mrs w. s Walsh, last Wednesday evening, to hell
 celebrate the birthday of Mrs Walsh'' niece, Miss Harriet Lankler. Tht guests were mainly residents of Wal nut Tree Hill, all.of whom were invited to the party. Mrs Cosgriff, the talent. ed young singer of St Roses church, was an honored guest of the party. She was ac companied by her friend, Miss Carey, handsome and becoming. ly gowned young woman from Bristol. Mrs Cosgriff added greatly to the evenings enjoyment by singing several pretty songs. Another out of town guest was pretty little Jessie Gordon from Bridgeport who is the guest of Mrs Driscoll. All the other guests were dwellers on the Hill except the popular coal dealer, William Egan, who is always in great demand Especially in winter time.) After guessing game in which first, second and third prize was awarded by Mrs Walsh, J. Don ohue, the we'll known violinist, made everybody merry with music. Miss Mary Foran assisted the hostess in handing around claret lemonade, frost ed cake and candied fruits to the ladies and gentlemen in the parlor, while the younger lads and lasses were invited to the dining room, which had been dec orated for the occasion and reserved exclusively for the little ones. The table, which ran the full length of the room, was heaped at one end by pyra. mids of oranges and large dish of as- sorted nuts. At the other, end another pyramid of sugared crullers, frosted cakes and bananas. The bananas were donated by the genial Mrs Peter Ward. Mary Finnell made some of the beauti- full cake for this party. She is consid- cred as one of the best cooks on Walnut Tree Hill. Mrs Walsh was in luck enough to engage her for this party. The favors, which consisted of waxed tissue paper caps and flowers and other table decorations had been sent from New York by MT Walsh to his niece. They were wrapped in gold and silver paper and fringed at both ends and looked very attractive. Each child thought the pretty wrappers contained choice candy, until the fringed ends were pulled out and caps unfolded. They were worn by the children in great glee, making the bright faces look still more bewitching. Many birth day gifts were presented by her school friends and others by Misses Lena. Elizabeth and Gertrude Blake. Misses Kathryn, Dorothy and Anna Lang, Mrs Driscoll and two children, Ina and William Driscoll. Frances Egan, Jen- nie R. Honan, Florence Gaffney, Jessie Gordon and Mrs P. Lynch. The other guests were namely, Mrs Gaffney, Kathryn Ward, Winnie Ward, Mary Scanlon, Kathryn Scanlon, Miss K. Blake, Alonzo Lang, Agnes and Paul Leavy, Jack Scanlon.-*

YOUNG COCOANUTs.
The Trick of Opening Them as Prac-
ticed by the Tahitians.

"Husking cocoanut is one of the
simplest looking operations in the
world, but l have not seen the white
man who could do 1t effectively"
writes Beatrice Grimshaw in her book,
In the Strange South Seas" Every
native of Tahiti is apparently born
with the trick.
A stick is sharply pointed at both
ends, and one end is firmly set in the
ground. The nut is then taken in the
hands and struck with a hitting and
tearing movement combined on the
point OF the stick, so as to split the
thick. intensely tough covering of
dense coir fber that protects the nut
The nut comes forth white as ivory,
about the same shape and size as the
brown old nuts that go by ship to
England and America, but much
younger and more tender, for only the
smallest Of the old nuts, which are not
wanted in the islands for copra max
ing, are generally exported
large knife is used to crack the
top Of the nut all around. like an egg
shell, and the drink is ready, a draft
Of pure water, slightly sweet and just
little aerated, If the nut has been
plucked at the right stage.
There is no pleasanter or more re-
fresning draft in the world, and ii
has not the least likeness to the milk"
contained In the cocoanuts Of COM
merce. No native would drink from
old nuts for fear of illness, as they
are considered both unpleasant and
unwholesome. Only the milk of half
grown nuts is used for drinking, and
even these will sometimes hold a eau
pie of pints of liquid.
The water Of the young cocoanut is
food and drink in one, having much
nourishing matter held in solution. On
many a long day of hot and weary
travel l had cause to bless the re-
freshing and restoring powers of heav.

before it was seen between the lips Of
the Engishman and ,Frenchman."
My friend, a British merchant on
his first visit TO Russia, was being in
troduced to Il local banking house. AS
the cashier momentarily laid aside his
cigarette in a convenient ash tray to

it looks homely and agreeable, and
none of these fellows appears to be

Then came further surprise for
my companion. A neatly dressed
waitress emerging from some lower
region was passing behind the chief
counter bearing a large tray on which

ingly queried the London merchant.
Exactly" I replied, land the tea is
of the finest quality"
From the bank we drove to the
postoffice and telegraph station. In
these places it is forbidden to the pub
lie to smoke, but behind the counters
in every department the cigarette and
tea were just as much in evidence as
they We're at the bank. The tea is al

OUR FIRST PATENT.
Granted at Boston In 1913 and Was
Called Monopoly.

To the general court Of Massachu
sets belongs the honor of granting
the first American patent. This was
in 1913 and was then designated as
monopoly. 1t was confined to the re-
gion controlled by Massachusetts, and
the one issue apparently included all
the invention Of the inventor connect
ed with engines that depended upon
water for their motive power. The
limit of the monopoly was fourteen
years, and the court not only retained
power to forbid expectation. but to
prevent e1orbitant charges upon the
public for their use. The patent was
issued in this form:
