A nice wash for white marble is a
paste made from equal parts of salt
and fine pumice stone added to twice
the quantity of washing soda. This Is
mixed with water into a paste after
being first finely sifted. Rub well on
the marble. especially on discolored
parts, then wash off in water to which
little salt is added. Do not use much
ammonia an marble, as it yellows it.

The Loving Cup.


There are Il great many stories told
OF the origin of the loving cup, and
perhaps the following is the most in
teresting:
In the eleventh century Margaret
Atheling, the wife of Malcolm Ken
more, became disgusted with the way
In which the Scotch mobiles left the
dining table before her chaplain had
time to say grace. So she promised all
those who could be induced to wait for
this ceremony draft of the choicest
wine from Il large gold cup. which
was passed from man to man around
the table after grace had been pro-
nounced. The bribe offered by the
beautiful young queen was too inviting
for the mobiles to refuse and they all
stayed in consequence. The custom OF
passing around the grace cup" as it
was called at first. became 50 popular
that it was observed all over the cOun-
try, and every person Of Importance in
the middle ages could boast of being
the owner of one.

Obituary.

Elizabeth Hill, daughter of
John and Catharine Netzley, was
born in Darke Co., O., Septem-
ber 10, 1848, and departed this
life January IL, 1911, aged 62
years, 4 months and 2 days.
Elizabeth was united in mar
riage to Josiah Hill in the year
1866 and to this union were born
six children-four sons and two
daughters, her eldest son pre-
ceding her to the spirit world.
This mother united with the
Church of the Brethren at Paint
er Creek in the spring of 1874
and lived a faithful and consist
ent member the remaining days
of her life.
She was always anxious and
ready to go to church and had a
great desire for spiritual food; !;
though afflicted as she was she
grew stronger in her faith, and
her place in the service will be
missed.
She had been afflicted with spi-
nal trouble for number of years
and on January 6, 1911, while a.
bout her work, she fell with a
stroke of paralysis, from which
she recovered, only to he again
overtaken by the same on Janu-
ary 8 and on the 18th she was
called to her reward, to which
she had prepared to go, and, no
doubt, welcomed the call.
She leaves a husband, three
sons, two daughters, eight grand
children, four brothers and a
number of relatives and friends
to mourn her departure.
Friend after friend departs;
Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end;
Were this frail world our final rest,
Living or dying none were blessed.
There is world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here,
Translated to that glorious sphere.
The funeral services were held
from the Painter Creek house
January Is, conducted by Law
renee and Willis C. Kreider. Text
Matthew 24:44, Be ye also ready.
The remains were inferred in the
Gettysburg cemetery.

There is just now much agita-
ton of the question of fortifying
the Panama Canal. Philanthro-
pists, peace makers, or perhaps
sentimentalists are opposed to
any step looking toward military
protection. Statesmen and mill
tarists, on the other hand, are
unable to see safety except il
fortresses and big guns. Con-
gress has been memorialized by
distinguished men and women
who made much of the argument
that the Suez Canal was without
fortiication and that inasmuch
as England had left this canal
open and undefended, there was
no reason why the Panama Ca
nal should be fortified, This
statement, however, appears to
have been presented without
complete geographical or politi-
cal knowledge. A sum equal to
the cost of the Panama Canal
would not be sufficient to fortify
it as strongly as the 'Suez Canal
is fortified. The fortification of
this canal begins on the west at
Gibralter, is continued at Malta,
at Cairo and Alexandria, and on
the east at Alden. In other words.
England has full and tight con-
troll of the Mediterranean at Glib
ralter and of the Red Sea at Alden.
No enemy can approach within
hundreds of miles of Suez with
out accounting to Great Britain.
It is true that there are French
and Turkish and Austrian ports
on the Mediterranean or connect
ing waters, but their naval for
ces are insignificant as compared
to the fleet that England con-
stantly maintains in what is sub
stantially a British lake.

Washington Letter.

Washington, Jan. 20.
There are indications that the
most promising Congress for a
score of years has lost it's dy-
manic force six weeks before it's
end; but little of the legislation
begun in December is likely to
be enacted. Some are predict
ing that the appropriation bills
will not be passed by March A.
1t is almost impossible for a het-
erogeneous team of over three
h undred patriots, statesmen,
demagogues and cranks to pull
together as a harmonious whole.
A majority of Congress knows
that the country is demanding a
lowering of certain tariff sched-
ules. It knows that the country
wants a parcels post and many
other important measures, but
with half a dozen political fact
ions and ten times as many in
dividuals pulling in sixtysix diff
ferent directions, there is but lit
tie probability of urgently need
ed legislation.

"At the last 1t biteth like
a serpent"
BY LEO.

- Solomon was a keen observer
of things in the social life of his
times, as shown in his Book OF
Proverbs. He had seen the evil
effects of wine drinking, hence
his proverb, cat the last it bit
eth like a serpent and stingeth
like an adder" What modern
observer has not seen the truth
of this?
If Solomon's pithy saying is
true of the wine of Palestine,
how much more of whiskey in
our America! Surely. whiskey
bites fatally in thousands Of A
merican homes, and sends many
youth to the ranks of the crimi-
/ nails, to prison, and often times
suicide. Yes, whiskey biteth
like a serpent.
Mark the words, cat the last. "
It refers to the final catastrophe
the breaking under the fire.
uuent indulgence in strong drink.
It biteth every time, but at the
last comes the fatal bite.
You have seen a man cutting
down a tree. 1t takes many q
stroke of the ak to bring down
the tree, but the final stroke
brings down the giant bark.
Was it only the last stroke? Nay,
verify, every cut of the ak has
done it's part in the telling OF
D the tree. So in the drink habit
so fatal to American life. Eve
ry indulgence is injurious and at
the last there comes the catas-
trophe and all can see that drink
ing alcoholic stimulants "Biteth
like a serpent"
One direful effect of the drink
evil is the formation of a habit.
It becomes a sort Of second ma
ture, the victim being unable to
resist the curing of his nature
for stimulants. The victim may |
know and feel his thraldom and
deplore it, too, but he is impo-
tent to resist and it finally ruins.
The power of habit is great.
The man who is a slave to whis-
key finds himself in the grip of a |
fiend. He struggles, resolves
and VOWS, but the fiend holds
him in his mighty grasp so that
escape is next to impossible.
And yet some resolute souls
break off by dint of effort, but
this is rare thing. All snake
bites are not fatal. There are
antidotes, which, if applied in
time, will cure. So in regard to
alcoholic poisoning, there is an
escape possible. Some are de-
liyered out of the demons clut-
ches, but most people who form
the drink habit go down to death
especially if they are victims
to the plague in early life. The
habit becomes the victims ty-
rant and drives him to the bitter
end.
Is it not then a wise thing to
abstain from drinking alcoholic
beverages? Total abstainers live
longer and live happier and are

When the United States bought
Alaska about fifty years ago for
seven millions of dollars, and a
facetious editor referring to it's
great distance and to it's Russian
origin, proposed to call it Dam
longwayoff", no one imagined
how incalculably rich in gold and
iron and fisheries and coal, to
say nothing of vegetable produc-
tions, that country would become.
There are people but little past
middle age who can recollect that
that part of the country where
Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and
other prosperous states are sit
uated, was supposed to be a des.
ert utterly unfit for agriculture.
A great part of Texas was at
that time regarded as a sterile
waste, but it is now covered with
cities, towns and villages. With
in a generation Canada hi
doubled her population and mul,
tiplied many times her wealth.

Secretary Wilson and Assist
ant Secretary Hays of the Agri-
cultural Department were evil
IDENTIFY not in harmonious consul
tation before they went into
print. Mr.. Hays says that the
drift of population to the cities
makes it impossible for low pric-
es ever to turn, while Secretary
Wilson reports an increased pro-
duction per acre, outstripping the
increase in population, and pre-
diets a decrease in the cost of
food stuffs. 1t is difficult to see
how prices can come down when
farm lands and farm hands are
going up. There is, however,
ground for expectation that the
denizens of American cities may,
like the inhabitants of the villa
ges Of Europe, turn farmer. 1t
is not unusual for Swiss and Rus
sian farm peasantry to live con-
siderable distances from the land
which they till. Moreover, they
walk to their places of work.
Possibly the time is not far dis
tant when many thousands of A.
merican farmers will live in
towns and cities and be conveyed
cheaply to and from their fields
by electric cars.

While he was engaged in this work a

masonry. When, on signal being Civ

and narrowing uncertainty a speech

newcomer proceeded with chisel and

the total increase has been $4,000,
and nearly all of this will help pas

Nc Color In the Dark.

In the dark there is no such thing
as color. The red6est dress is just the
same color us pure white tablecloth
when both are placed in a dark closet.
If you would understand this assume
the presence of light wave motion in
the ether. The color of light depends
upon the length of these waves. The
light waves producing the colors in
the blue end of the spectrum are very
short compared with those that pro-
duce the colors near the red end. The
light source that we know as red gives
off only waves of length to produce
that particular color A body appears
red because its surface absorbs all the
other waves and reflects the red waves
back into the eye. If an attempt Is
made to light blue body with red
light it will fail. because the blue body
is capable of rejecting only the short
waves producing the blue, and since
the red source produces none of these
there will be no reflection and the body
will appear black. A thing looks black
when it is capable of absorbing all the
colors at once.--St. Louis Republic.
