Methodist Episcopal Church.

The various services next Sunday
will be closely related to the Christ
mas season. May we not look for u
large attendance Of members and
friends.
Six classes in the Sunday school
had their quota of an attendance Of
80 last Sunday. A twenty per cent
encrease in the other classes would
have brought the attendance up to
that figure. Why not do it next
Sunday.
The Sunday school Christmas ex.
ercises will be held on Christmas
night, next Wednesday. All fami-
lies represented in the church and
Sunday school are cordially invited
to attend.

Original Natives of Philippines

From the san Francisco Chronicle.
 pr. Philip Newton, lecturer and in- vestigator of the National Museum at Washington, D. c. who has just re- turned from the Philippines, believes that the diminutive negroes called the Negri- tos, who are found in the mountains of all the larger islands of the Philippine group. are the original natives of the Philippines.
 "They have been gradually driven into the mountains by superior forces" said Dr. Newton yesterday. and to-day I presume there are not more than z5.o00 of them In the islands. They are the perfect type of savage They have no houses, wear no clothing and live by hunting. occasionally-very occasionally they grow a little rice. They use pois- ooed arrows and are very similar in stature and habits to the African dwarfs The men are usually four feet six inches or seven inches in height and the wo- men about four feet five inches. Among themselves they think nothing of murder, Tn the northeastern part of Luzon there are large bodies of them in district never yet penetrated by white men.

 The exploring ship Aurora has re- turned from her winter cruise after car rying out trip of over three weeks. As the ship was not required until Novem- Der. when she will return to the ice region to bring back the leader and his party, she was engaged on scientific investiga- tions in sub-Antarctic seas. The Aurora is in charge ol Capt. J. K. Davis, and among those abroard are a ta2idermist and cipematograph operator. The whole of the ships company are reported as being in good health
 One of the objects of the cruise was not attained. This was the discovery of the reported Royal companys islands Four days of the cruise was spent in searching the ocean for sight of these islands, but not trace could be found. The reported islands were said to be in two different positions. but though both positions and the sea around were thor oughly explored there were no signs of
 the supposed islands It was on May + that the Aurora left Sydney, sailing by
 way of Bass Strait to the 10th meridian. and after his exhaustive search it is the opinion of Captain Davis that the islands do not exist anywhere near where the charts indicated

 The nitric acid acts on the cotton, the sulphuric acid being added to absorb the water formed by this chem ieal action. There are different nitro cellulose compounds called di-, tri-. penta-, and hexa-nitro- -cellnlose, ae- eordiag to the amount of nitrogen they contain.
 Celluloid is commonly made from 3 mixture of terta- and penta- -nltro-eellu- lose. This is obtained by allowing the cotton to remain in the acid bath fer about A hours. The product is then thoroughly washed until no trace of acid is shown by lltmus paper test. It is very important to remove all trace of acid, for if any remains it will cause the finished product to deterior- ate. and possibly to ignite spontaneous ly
 After being thoroughly washed the pyroxylin is partially dried in a cen trifugal drier. It is then chopped up into a finely divided mass. The damp ground pyroxylin is then mixed with finely divided camphor in the proper proportions, and the mixture is run through another grinding machine. The mixture is wrapped in cotton cloths and placed between sheets of plotting paper in g hydraulic press.

 The families of two neighboring flats were playing Decent limit poker together. Afteresthe busting of a pot the opener drew one card, and the mistress of the flat where the game was played also drew one. She held, to start with, the deuce. trey, four and five of diamonds, and ac- uuired the six of the same suit.
 The opener bet dime and the woman merely called. When the cards were spread her husband went up in the air.

On two occasions the trawl was let down. but the wind and tide carried the vessel away very rapidly, and the trawl was damaged and the net torn. There are five members of the expedition at Mac quarie Island, and 20 with Dr. Mawson are at the base In Adelie Land. Eight are at the secondary base near Gauss berg. It is expected the expedition will return to civilizati tion in April next

whose birth We celebrate today, was

George was comma ssioEed midslip-

the time he was employed. During
the seven years war ut the age of 10
he was appointed Adjutant with rank
of Major.
Soon after this he made the only

bullets passed through his clothes
and two horses were killed under

AT his death, he held 124 slaves
which according TO his will were TO
be freed at the death Of his wife
which occurred three years later.
His object in this was to prevent
those that had married from being
separated.
For several years Washington was
a member of the Virginia Assembly.
Like many of the Southern planta-
ton owners he was opposed to III
dependence but was ready to fight
for the constitutional rights of the
colonists. Soon after the news OF
the battle of Lexington, Washington
was appointed Commander in Chief
of the American forces. He hasten
ed to the camp at Cambridge and
took command under the famous
elm tree. He now compelled the
evacuation of Boston but was driven
from New York and retreated across
New Jersey.
No General has showed better
eeneralslip than did Washington.
He always shared the hardships of
his men and would not accept pay.
He. however, kept account Of his
personal expenses which were reim-
buried by Congress.
Under circumstances that would
have quelled a less ardent spirit
