OF MISSIONARY
 SOCIETIES NEXT TUESDAY

An occasion of unusual interest to the people of Birmingham is the Federation of Missionary societies of all the churches within the Birmingham district, which will be held next Tuesday, December g., at the Southside Baptist church.
 The event marks a great epoch in missionary work in this district and elab- crate preparations have been made in consequences.
 The session will be In the nature of an "all day affair." although the open ing meeting will not take place until 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday,
 After the afternoon meeting coffee, sandwiches and light refreshments will be served by the ladies in charge. both for those who do not care to return to their homes in the city before the even ing session, and especially is this fea- ture intended for those from the suburban towns, who want to attend both ses- sions.
 The ladies have spared no trouble in arranging every detail of the federation with the utmost care and consideration for those in attendance, and 1t is safe to say that no more interesting meeting will be held in Birmingham during the year than the Federation of Missionary societies of the Birmingham district next Tuesday.

MRS. BEECHER'S READING
 AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

Those who heard Mrs Leonard Thurlow Beecher's interpretation of ''Thc Great Galeoto" at the Birmingham High school Tuesday night were afforded an extraordi- nary treat
 Mrs Beecher has never before given this splendid Spanish drama in Birnjng- ham, and though the audience was large and appreciative. her reading was one that should have been heard by every one in the city,
 The drama is "A Tragedy of Gossip" One of the characters Is made to say "Unfounded suspicion sometimes works it's own justification
 The theme of the play Is man and woman at first entirely innocent, are driven into each others arms utterly dc- spite themselves by the insidious mare lolent power of suggestion.
 Another character says They say they say"
 The answer was: Do you know what they stands for?'' It is the family name Of Ananias and Sapphira That was the name upon their door plates, and their visiting cards.
 They, They I never hear the word that I don't cross myself. and repeat the litany with an added phrase Good Lord, 1 deliver us from They"
 Mrs. Beecher presented <the play with great dramatic force. and delineated each character wonderfully making her au- dience forget that the stage was not thronged with real characters.
 She moves her audience in a marvellous way The lines go over the footlights and reach the hearts of the people.

An Historic Maidstone

-- Do you recollect that a year or so ago number of persons wrote about mad stones? l came across the inclosed re- gently and thought that it might be of interest to you:
 "A maidstone is a vegetable substance or stone which, when applied to a wound coused by a bite of mad dog. is said to prevent hydrophobia. The most fam ous in the United States is owned by the descendants of a family named Fred in Virginia. This stone was brought over from Scotland in 1907 IL is said to be the one spoken of by Sir Walter Scott in The Talisman,' and has been relgiously preserved as one of the most valuable relics of the age. It is about two inches long by one inch broad, half an inch thick, and is of chocolate color. When applied to the wound it adheres till all the poison is absorbed, when 1t drops off. It Is then soaked in warm milk or water for a time and when removed the liquid is found to be full of greenish yellow scum. It is said that of the 13o cases in which it had been applied for the bite of a mad dog none ever suffered from hydrophobia. There are now a number of madstones in the United States. The belief in q maidstone was common hun dreds of years ago in the east and tray elers in India in 1877 and 1885 made mem tion of it. Tradition said 1t grew on the heads of certain reptiles. A New York expert in gems identifies the maidstone of the east with the stone known as tabersheer which Is a variety of opal found in the joints of the bamboo in Him dustan and Burmah. This stone is formed of juice which, by evaporation, becomes mucilaginous, then solid substance, and when placed in the mouth will adhere to the palate or cause water to boil Sir David Brewster says 1t is found in the joints of diseased cornstalks, and is formed by sap depositng silicia
