Novel Idea for Getting Pennies.

Probably there is no church in Phil;
adelphia that is so original as church
located in the suburbs. This church
has struck upon a novel idea for gath
ering in the pennies. There have been
distributed number of small envel-
opes to the various members, the idea
being to make mile of pennies. Each
member is requested to put in his or
her envelope 1G cents, or a foot of
pennies when laid side by side. The
church is called upon to meet an ex-
pense every Christmas for decorations
and special music, and in the desire to
raise enough money without going into
the regular treasury the church Off
Gals struck upon this scheme.-Phila-

ROMANCE OF THE MODERN NILE.
England Doing More for the Esyp.
tans Than the Pharoahs Did.

There is a sad side to the trium-
plant story of the Assouan dam; says
the Travel magazine. Above the dam
stand the islands of Philae, which the
ancients called the City of Isles, and
on them some of the most beautiful,
though not the oldest, of the Egyptian
temples. Already, owing to the opera
tion of the dam, these temples are
Hooded far up their walls. When firsG
/ visited Egypt, over 20 years ago, I
walked about their courts on foot;
when | returned recently sailed them
in a boat. The sight was sad to see,
but soon it will be worse. for when
the dam is raised "Pharoah's bed and
other lovely ruins of Philae must be
submerged and with all their sculp-
lures and paintings hidden, and in the
end, destroyed.
Thus the romance of the religions
of the past is doomed to give way to
the romance of the prosperity of the
present. Philae must go, but, since
bread will always breed an eater, with
in few years time there will be
hundreds of thousands more Egyp-
tians, most of them hating and agitat-
ing against the western power that
brought them into being. A some
what thankless task, perhaps, yet
surely herein lies the real romance
of the modern Nile, that the care and
genius of distant England should do
more than all the Pharoahs ever did
tn ,,ti1 To ~,
benefit of Egypt and her inhabitants.

Sister Prncesses Ideally Happy.

sister Prthcesses Ideally Happy.
Princess Albert of Belgium is the
happiest wife in the courts of Europe,
it is asserted. With her husband and
children she leads an ideal existence
in the country, and as far as possible
she escapes from the rigorous court
routine. 1t is said by those who know
her that when she comes to the
throne with her husband there will be
a quick end to the lax methods that
have prevailed at court under sportive
old Leopold. The princess is a daugh-
ter of Duke Theodor of Bavaria. who,
despite his royal birth, became one
of the first oculists in the Old World.
Her sister is married to Prince Ru-
pert of Bavaria, and the happy home
lives of the two young women are at
tributed largely to their unfailing tact
and common sense and their love Of
outdoor sports. They are both expert
horsewomen, they play clever tennis,
and both are handy afield with shot
gun and rife. They are types of wom-
en- in keeping with the popular idea of
queens, and it is not strange they
hold the undivided affections of their
future subjects.

Business Men's Association. Quarterly
 Meeting.

The Business Mems Association is soon to hold its Quarterly Meeting, and though the weather may be unsuifi d for such meetings, the presence of large numbers will show a hearty public spi- rit and loyalty to the declared pur- poses of the Association.
 IL k proposed, at this meeting to take up and consider the important question of Trades Schools. The Le- gIsIature has ordered the establishment Of such schools, to De located in ditier- ent parts of the State as were best fitted for the purpose, according to the judg- ment of the State Board of Education.
 The Business Menis Association sent in claim for one of the schools to be located in this city, and the siate Is L. give the request it's careful atten- ton, and promised to send a commit tee oi it's members to this city, To meet our citizens, 10 publicly discuss the question. Tine committee will be sent as soon as the Board receives certain information. This information is now being secured by the Boards Agent, OK Senator If. J. Potter, who has been at work on this service during the past week, and may finish his work this week. Therefore 1t cannot be long be- fore we may have the committee here to meet our citizens.
 In the meantime 1t Is necessary to be prepared with all the facts and ar guments to sustain the claims of the city as beingl entitled to have one of these Trade Schools. And this will be the topic to be discussed at the coming meeting of the Business Mems Assoei. alton.
 There are things to help In deciding the location af a Trade School besides the ordinary arguments. This town must compete with other towns, and other things being equal the town that will offer the State the greatest pecu- niary assistanse--such as the best site for the school, etc, will get the school land no Naliu obJections can pe oilef- ed to that.
 The advantages 10 having a State Trade School In this city are many and great. It is unneeessaryito say more as everything will Ike advanced al the coming meeting that will bear on the question To show hat the town must do if the citizens want Il Trade School here. It shows how important 1t Is, therefore, that ithe coming meet Ing be largely attended and every inte- rest of the town be well represented.

the right spirit 10 have as no team can win that k licked tefore t starts, buf it k almost equally as disasterous 10 start in by undertaking the strength of the other fellow. The teams are eeT= tainly very evenly matehed. To size up iae situation impafiially leaves yon where you started Start with An dem advantage In playing on their own grounds backed by the home crowd. This is in a measure offset by the fact that tue Canadians will haze almost ss many rooters behind them. Tn the pitching department the sd- vantage Is with Putnam. They have been up against PeioqUin and found him for 9 safeties, which will give them confidence, while the Andems will look over Baruaele,s assortment for the first time. There will be the usual ei- emenf of luck that makes the national sport 50 uncertain. Add 10 this the possibility of the umpire making a mistake and il Is evident that whom fortune faxors stands the best chance Of getting the long end Of the score. Now we are back where we started from, no wiser than before, so If you want to make money on the game keep your mazuma in your jeans and dontt invest in chances.

sl3ASEsaaBALL Ea-zs

As stated at the start, Il was not A game of happenings. Dhseoil's efror, steal, In which the ump had A prom inent part, and Keeeh s out, Driseol to Spyer, put Marion on third in the fifth with two down. II was np to Oagne but he WAS easy, Boyle to Mover. Mar ion pulled of the only lone star play when he robbed Boyle of hit in the seventh by .making long run and dive, getting the ball low and coming up wiih Il squeezed tight. Putnam pulled of two doubles, the first ,Gagne, Tatro, to Diotte, was an all star act.
 BoyIe's holiing the Canadians for nine innings without hit was of course a feature, and the work of Bar nacle left nothing 10 be desired. It would be a toss up between the two for first money, but Barnaele,s easy style makes 1t look as though hescould last longer than his opponent, who sppar- ently puts every ounce Of steam behind every ball pitched

His Second Thoooht.

Goose Egg cove Is on the New Jer- sey side of Delaware bay. The farm- CTS from miles around take their fan liles te the cove in the summer for a picnic.
 Last summer among the crowd was one Camden county man who had drunk too much Salem county apple Jack. He made himself obnoxious by going to the men as they were with their women folk and shaking his fist under their noses, saying: Il can lick you. Come out and fight" No one would fight. because he was evidently drunk.
 Convinced that he had scared them all. he walked up and down the beach. saying. "I can lick any one on the beach" He repeated this to every one he met.
 Finally an inoffensive little family man standing with q group jumped Into him and beat hIm into submission. When he was finally allowed to get up the Camden man struggled to his feet and. looking around at the crowd which had gathered. said dehantly:
 "Me and this little feller can lick any man on the beach"
