PERFORM TRICKS FOR NATIVES
Missionary Tells Students How circu,
"Stunt" Is Employed to Attract
African Crowds.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Tom Jays, M. d.,
of the London Church Missionary so
ciety, in an address to University OF
Pennsylvania students told them OF
the great opportunity for service in
the foreign mission field and many OF
his own interesting experiences.
DR.. Jays is an Englishman who has
given his life to the medical mission
work in Africa. In his talk he told
how he and his friends often gathered
a crowd of native Africans about
them by doing tricks on bicycles in
the squares Of the villages and cities.
At times, he said, as many as five
thousand would crowd around to see
the missionaries ride, and some OF the
preachers and physicians have be-
come experts.
When the missionaries have gath
cred the people about them they tell
them something about Jesus Christ.
While the acts draw the crowds for
big mass meetings, it Is through medi-
cine and education that the people OF
Africa are most easily reached by the
missionaries.

FOR THE UNEXPECTED GUEST
Hasty Pudding Is Dish That May
Be Quickly Added to the Family
Menu If Desired.

The arrival of unexpected guests
sometimes obliges the hostess to add
one or two hastily prepared dishes to
the usual family dinner menu. Often
it is the dessert that has to be con-
cocted at a moments notice.. There Is
a recipe that may be made quickly and
which requires only the ordinary in
gradients to be found in every kitchen.
Cut six slices of stale bread about a
third of an inch thick. Remove the
crust and cut in half crossways.
Beat three eggs slightly, adding to
them two tablespoonfuls Of sugar,
one-half teaspoonful Of salt and one
breakfast cupful of milk.
Strain this into q shallow dish and
soak the slices of. bread in it until
they are soft. -.
Now cook the bread in clean, hot,
well buttered frying pan, browning
each side by turn.
Spread one-half of the pieces with
jam and cover with the remaining
pieces, thus forming sandwiches. This
Is especially nice II covered with thin
custard to which some chopped al
monds have been added.

Schooner Of Thirty-four Tons IL
Bought by Norwegian Captain for
Use In the Sealing Trade In
South Indian Ocean.

London-The oldest craft to be
found in Lloyd's Register is a schoon-
er or ketch Of 80 tens burden, called
the Purveyor, having just 102 years
of service to her credit. A few weeks
ago she was purchased by q Norwe-
gian, Captain Reinertsen, who is now
preparing to sail her from Biddeford,
in Devon, to Durbaa, in the South "a
dian ocean, a distance Of 5000 miles.
The Norwegian has renamed the
craft the Seal. His enterprise is pure
ly commercial, for he purposes to use
her in the sealing tsade. He hopes to
reach Durham in 81 days. but will be
provisioned for six months.
The Purveyor Was built at South
ampton as a government barge in
1910; it was one vt number made
ready to convey troops rapidly along
the coast or to IT,. warships in case
Of the expected invasion by Napoleon.
On being sold out If service after the
battle Of Waterloo, in 1915, she was
owned at Dude aid Biddeford, and
has since been eng aged in a coasting
trade along North Devon and Corn
wall.
Her biggest trial was In the great
blizzard over twent7 years ago. we'll
remembered in tho west, when so
many coasting vessels foundered. The
Purveyor was blown. from the Bristol
channel out into thu Atlantic, where
she rode out the gate, and many days
later, battered but triumphant, re-
turned to her port Evey since that

Divorce Church From State Is
Cry Heard in Wales.
End ct Long Battle Seen-Dfsestab-

Become Political Issue In
Great Britain.

London.-For twenty-seven years
the Welsh people have been fighting
for religious equality and now. with
friends Of that movement in power
In England. 1t appears that the
Church of England will be disestab-

George, Winston Churchill and J. ].
AsQuith, has promised that the church
and state in Wales will tse divorced.
Welsh disestablishment has assumed
more than religious significance. 1t
is one Of the most important political
questions before English political par
ties. The English liberals and the
Welsh parliamentarians take the non
conformist view. The Church of Eng
land adherents are aligned with the
unionist or conservative party.
With the established Church of Eng
land the fight in Wales is rather in
the nature Of the final outpost contest
before the nonconformists assault the
connection between the church and
the state Of England. AS long as
Wales has an established and en-
dowed church the opponents Of the es-
tablished church Of England probably
will not attempt to lessen it's power

Captain Reinertsen, a quiet-spoken

the boat. and has shipped a crew of
three Biddeford sailors.
In conversation Captain Reinertsen
said, after fitting the Seal out with
tanks at Durham for her new trade,
he will sail to the Crozet islands,
some 1880 miles southeast of Dur
ban, where he has a permit from the
French government for seal-hunting,
business in which he has been en-
gagged for some years.

Philadelphia.-Acc to a de-

a wife has a perfect right to rifle the
pockets of her husband and take his
last cent. and the husband has no
redress.
The decision was made in the case
Of John Dorcas, arrested for non-sup-
port. Dorcas pleaded that he was
forced to leave his wife because she
insisted upon going through his pock-
cts nightly and relieving him Of every
cent she could find.
The magistrate announced that, &C.
cording to law, that which belonged to
Dorcas also belonged to Mrs. Dorcas,
and It did not make any difference
how she got it.

PRETTY PRE-: / SASH CURTAIN
EFFECTIVE WINDOW spRAPERIEs
NEED NOT BE EXPENSIVE. E. E.
Remnant Counters Will Yield All That
10 Necessary, and at Reasonable
Prices-care in Design and
ARRANGEMENTS.

Until the spirit for contriving lays
hold on one it would never seem pos
sfble that the prettiest of sash cur
ta1ns could be SO easily designed, and
that without visiting the precincts Of
the "drapery department"
Few are the seasons when the rem
nant counters will not yield short
lengths of plain lawn, dimity, cross
barred muslin, dotted swiss or even
the finer grades of white or cream
colored cheese cloth. And be it said,
with emphasis, that many deliberately
draped windows, where costly mate
rails have been hung with lavish dis
regard for expense, have a far less re-
fined and restful effect than ones
where straight curtains Of this soft
and simple material, edged only with
plain hens, are used.
Cheese cloth looks we'll for several
months, often longer, and after, say,
half dozen washings, the plain little
curtains are ready for yeoman's serv-
ice as busters and polishing cloths,
and fresh ones can be put up at very
moderate expense.
But it is with the slightly more dur
able fabrics that charming results can
be attained Plain lawn, with a deli
cate figure stencilled on the two inch
hem to harmonic with the coloring of
the room, is in perfect taste. Failing
skill in the use of stencils, it is an
easy matter to add to the plain
breadths of pure white, hens of fig
cred material, or vice versa; or to in
set between hens and body of cur
tafns insertions of inexpensive lace or
the wider and heavier quality of foot
ing. This is especially effective
where dainty dimity has been chos-
en- for the sash curtains
With the heavy, silky D. M. c. cot
ton individual draperies can be de-
vised, using "lazy daisy" stitch, sim
pie darning or the ever available feath-
ef stitching,
