Every one in the community ought
to take out little stock, at the begin
ming of the year, in the moral manu-
featuring plants of the city. Dividends
will be paid oftener than twice a year
Now when a man pays $500 for piano
for his family he is not asking for cash
dividends but he expects the dividends
to come in the way of increased char
acter of his family. These are the kind
of dividends the moral corporations OF
the city warrant you. Select some one
of the churches and subscribe for a
good liberal block of the stock. We
would like to have you look at one of
the pledge cards so many have signed
of late. We would enjoy explaining to
you our plan to put the finances of our
business on sound business basis.
How many have you asked to be a

Quaint HYMNS.

For unreality of sentiment in hymns
we must go back to the eighteenth
century. Here is an instance:
All. lovely appearance of death.
What sight upon earth is so fair?
Not all the gay pageants that breathe
Can with dead body compare.
1t seems strange that death should
have been the occasion for touch Of
unconscious humor in a hymn. In the
collection entitled Hymns. Ancient
and Modern there was and possibly
still is the following verse:
They do not hear when the great bell
Is ringing overhead
They cannot rise and come to church
With us-for they are dead.
The list Of things which they are
unable to do might be indefinitely ex-
tended. London Chronicle

A Way to Measure Il Without the Use
Of instruments.
1t Is necessary to make use only Of
the eyes and the brim Of a hat to
measure the width OF any: ordinary
stream or even Of a good sized river.
and here is the way to do it: =.
Select part Of the river bank where
the grounds run back level behind
you and, standing at the waters edge.
tx your eyes on the opposite bank.
Now move your hat down over your
brow until the edge Of the brim Is
exactly on a line with the water line
on the other side. This will give you
visual angle that may be used on
any level surface, and II, as has been
suggested, the ground on your side Of
the river be fat you may LAY of"
corresponding distance on It. To do
this you have only to hold your head
perfectly steady, after getting the an
gle with your hat brim. supporting
your chin with your hand II neces-
sary aud turn slowly around until your
back Is toward the river. Now. take
careful note of where your hat brlm
cuts the level surface Of the ground
as you look over the latter. and from
where you stand to that point will be
the width OF the river, distance that
may readily be measured by stepping.
II you are careful in all these de.
tails you Gan come within few feet
