 "'What in the world do you use that for?' I inquired.
 Why, the butchers buy it, he said. They use it on their sausage, such as bolognas and on partially decomposed meat, etc. When the meat has turned dark from long keeping, or from being spoiled or from any other cause. they just rub a little of this on it. and makes it look as red and fresh as if it had just been cut

 Belgium has CathoIic government, but It's majority is only seven. Catholics ex- pect that the provision of the new code, used in the campaign there as in Ger many, may wipe out this small strength, and let in the liberals. The budget, just published for 1912 by the Catholics, shows remarkable and creditable savings over ola hperal finance. It is feared at the Vatican, however, that it may not avail. and It is stated by Vatican organs that II liberals gain a majority now Belgium Is practically certain to adopt the course lately followed by both France and Por- tugal and bring about complete sepa- falloh ot church from the state.

RURAL CHURCH WORK

The first memorial artillery chapel in America is to be erected and consecrated as part of the centenary celebration of the
 war of 1912 The location will be Gov ernors Island New York harbor, and it is built by members of the Military Society of the War of 1872. It will, however, com memorate services in that war and also ia the War of the Revolution. It is be- lieved that it will be the only such chapel ever to be erected in America, and eer- tainly on a military reservation. It is pos sible on Governors Island only because of the unique relations long existing be tween the war department and Trinity parish, New York. The Secretary of War has approved the extension of an existing building, with the knowledge of its future use.
 Henry WIS chapel, Westminster, St. Georges chapel, Windsor, and the CaJthe- dral at Malta are examples of military ehapels. In them are hereditary stalls, bearing family names, and inscriptions re- citing the military services of members of the families owning the stalls. Above the stalls are hung coats of arms, and artil- lery flags, some of them of long service in famous campaigns. St. Georges stalls are seats of Knights of the Garter, and the flags above them came from military or ganizations of which knights were mem- bers.
 The new memorial chapel on Governors Island will be an extension of St. Cor nelius chapel. the church on the post, and will be related to that chapel in some such fashion as Henry VIPs chapel is architec turally added on to Westminster abbey, or the second chancel in which Shakes peare lies buried in Holy Trinity church, Stratford -onAvon. There will be 70 stalls, and seats for about 100 persons. MT. Lol- al' Farragut, a son of Admiral Farragut, is one member of the committee to erect
 this chapel. It will cost s26,000, and be ready during 1912.

Men and Religion Plans

tour teams are to enter the field for the Men and Religion Movement when the second part of the campaign starts on January 8. The week just ended has been given up to conferences of mem- bers of the teams themselves, when mis- takes or the fall campaign in the west have been gone over. and new methods evolved from them. The four conventions to be held immediately are those of Port land, Providence, Springfield and Worces~ ter, and these are to be followed on tine succeeding week by the conventions Tn Boston, Hartford and Rochester For the Boston meeting two teams are to be en- gagged.
 From tho conventions thus far held, wholly in tie middle west and southwest, reports are to the effect that Bible classes arc much increased in number, and al- tendance upon old classes has grown. The Bible work is thus far reported to have produced most visible effect, with the social service and labor work a good second. During January and February there are planned nearly 300 conventions In smaller towns of the west and south west. to be conducted by men who at- tended the main centres One member of the general teams will be in charge The reports of favorable impressions upon the small towns where auxiliary conventions have thus far been held indicate attend dhce eNel larger III proportion than the main ones
 Already plans are making for the con seryation congress which is to be held in Washington in April. Here will be gath cred all of the teams. and national lead CTS in most religious bodies. This con gress will rot be for platform addresses but for deliberation on what to do dur ing the summer and next fall to make results of the whole campaign perma- nent.

More Curious Than Comfortable

From the Strand.
 The Mashukulumbui natives of North western Rhodesia have a most wonderful headdress. which is made up of cuttings of hair from other boys heads mixed with mud and grease. Sometimes these tonknots are studded with all sorts of curiosties. such as beads bits of bro ken crockery brass paper fasteners, the latter generally stolen by the natives from the native commission CTS office, feathers, etc. The result or this forms one of the most curious coif- lures in the world.
