Mosaic Work,

The origin of Mosaic work is IN
known. We may be sure, however.
that 1t began among some oriental peo-
pie. 1t had attained to great excellence
in Greece in the time of Alexander and
his successors. The Romans also ex-
celled in Mosaic work, as is shown by
the many preserved specimens today
to be seen In the museums. The art
was revived in Italy by Giotto, Cine
bue and others and from Italy made
its way into the other European coun-
tries Some of the achievements Of the
Mosaic works of the best Italian period
are little less than miraculous.-New

time for the organ practice. he was

FORET0LD BY DREAMS.
Two Remarkable Cases In Which Sleep
Warnings Came True.

Two REMARKABLE Eases IN Wnich oieeP
Warnings Came True.
Il dreamed that the ship was in a
heavy sea. that big wave came over
her bows, pressed down upon her.
and then she rolled over on her star

1t Is evidence. given on oath, during
the inquiry at London into the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of the Waratah,
the vessel which. on her second voy
age. mysteriously disappeared in July,
1909, and has never been heard of
since. And so impressed was the pas
senger with the vision that he left the
vessel at Durham, from which point
she continued on her I'll fated voyage.
Thus one more was added to the ex-
traordlnary condolences In which
dreams have figured.
The third Lord Waterford was able
to verify story of an extraordinary
dream coming true. Talking one day
with the landlord of the inn in the vii
lage close to Curraghmore. man
rushed up and said there had been a
murder on the hills. Then 1t must be
the little one" said the landlord. at
which Lord Waterford. not unnatural
Iy. became very suspicious. The land
lord proceeded to explain that in the
night he dreamed that two men had
come to the iun and that the taller of
the two had murdered the shorter
with very curious knife.
He told his dream to his wife, who
laughed at him. But. 10 his horror
the men he had seen while asleep
came to the inn. and one used the curl

left, and soon afterward news Of the
murder arrived. Search was made fol

PEAFOWL ETIQUETTE.
The Hens Formal introduction of Her
Brood to the World.

Brood to the World.
For bringing up their families pea
hens are a model to every other feath-
cred fowl In existence. The nest is
usually made Of a quantity Of dry
sticks, and when fairly set and on 1t
the difficulty Is to find out where the
hen is. So beautifully does the ash
gray plumage assimllate with the sur
roundings that it is often possible to
tumble over the nest before recogniz-
Ing 1t. In this nest are laid from three
to four large whitish eggs about the
size Of those laid by the common do
nestle goose.
When the chicks are Matched out they
are the most delightful little brown
birds imaginable. The color is a rich
deep brown, and they much resemble
young pheasants both in size and In
coloring. Many people have often
laughed at the curious etiquette notice
able In the behavior of bees toward
their queen. But the peafowl etiquette
In introducing young chicks to their
owner Is at least as curious. As soon
as the chicks are able to walk the
mother marshals them In a procession,
and, leading herself, she stalks to the
place where she and the others are
generally fed. Having formally intro
| duced her brood, she takes them back
to the nest. and they are not seen any
more for some weeks. The hen will
come and be fed, but the chicks are
supposed to remain In retreat till they
are grown to the size of spring chick
ems, when they come out and join the
rest of the fowls and learn to feed for
themselves.-Country Home.

justice has body servant assigned to

serve as pastor for the next year

Under the impetus given the

vival held by Rev. Doak, it has
become necessary to build an ad-
dition of two rooms 26x18 feet
each in dimensions, which will
be erected on the south of the
main building. The main aud
ience room has also been divided
into three compartments for Sun
day school work by the install
ment of two sliding partitions,
so that the room can be divided
at will or thrown into one con
partment; making it very con-
venient. On last Sunday there
was an attendance of POT pupils
at the Sunday school.
