The Bear creek and Fallsburg
District Sunday School Convention
which met at Buchanan chapel Las,
year WAS said to be most excellent
The one that met at the same place
on the 18th inst. this year, was
certainly the equal OF last year 4
not its superior. The attendance
this year we think was some larger,
the interest was fine. The best OF
order prevailed. the secretary's re-
port showed decided improvement
over last year more new schools
have been organized. the attendance
has been better and the collections
have increased Superintendent and
teachers seemed TO be greatly In
Encouraged. Truly the outlook for
Fallsbdrg and Bear creek district

speakers we're present. Each one
handled his subject we'll.
Dinner was on the ground In
great abundance composed of the
very best things that the country
provides. Our good sisters dealt u
out with willing hands until all were
bountifully fed.
The afternoon session was rs
good as the forenoon. The mlsic
was fine. At one time they sarg
"OId Time Religion" and we had a
regular old-time camp meeting. Just
before the close of the session, y
was announced that Brother Okey
Vaughan, our faithful county secre-
tary was very sick, and asked for
the prayers of the convention. The
convention was deeply moved by the
closing remarks Of our Brother NJ.
s. Burns, county President. He
confessed his ardent love for the
Sabbath School work and proclaimed
his determination to press forward
God being his helper, acknowledged
his weakness aud requested that all
would pray for him that he might
exceed In the great work before him.
We feel that the convention was
great success, and help to the
Sunday school cause. Nevertheless
1t is numbered with the past. The
present and future battles for the
great Sunday school cause is to be
fought. There are hundreds Of boys.

no doubt most people interested in
useful reading matter will thank us
for information, obtained through Off
cial sources, as to how public docu-
ments can be procured with least trou-
bic and at trifing expense.
The idea that prevails most gener-
ally-that this class of literature may
be secured through the courtesy of
members of congress-is correct only
in so slight degree that it had best
be corrected. There are nearly 800
senators and representatives; hence an
edition Of several thousand copies, if
distributed pro rata, gives TO each only
q few copies. Some OF these the sena-
tor or representative needs for refer
ence, the few left over are soon eX-
hausted, and those constituents who
then write for them are necessarily
disappointed, through no fault Of the

SWORDS OF JAPAN.
Religious Rites Follow Every Process
of Their Making.

OF ] nelr Making.
The sword making of Japan is per
haps the most curious in the whole
word. In that country swords said to
be equal to those of Toledo or Damas-
Gus are made by a special series of
processes, but feature of the industry
is the religious ceremonial that accom-
panies every process.
On the walls of the huts in which
the work is done are representations of
the god of the sword makers and the
chief goddess of the Shintos There
are also bits of paper and wisps Of
straw, charms to keep away evil spir-
Its. No female is allowed to enter the
place, us the presence of women is sup
posed to be conducive to the appear
anCe of demons, who would certainly
bring disaster to the swords mission
Prayer is offered before the work be
gins, and various religious rites must
be performed before any one of the
swords can be declared to have been
well and truly made.
The last thing that takes place after
the polishing and sharpening Of the
swords is the Offering of them one by
one TO the sword god to be blessed.
The weapon is placed in front of the
kakemona on the wall, with an Offering
of saki, rice and sweetmeats, after
which prayer scrolls are read and a
blessing upon the work is invoked

COOKING VEGETABLES.
Use Uncovered Utensils Except For
Dried Beans or Peas.

Use Uncovered Utensils Except For
Dried Beans or Peas.
Two mistakes are commonly made
in preparing vegetables for the table:
The first OF these is the practice Of
keeping the vessel tightly covered dur
ing the entire process of cooking. This
is done usually with an idea of pre-
venting the dissemination Of unpleaS-
ant odors through the house. But the
effect of it is directly the opposite The
odorS confined within the vessel grow
instead more rank with the chemical
changes that take place, and when the
vessel is opened occasionally, as it
must be, these extremely dlsagreeable
odOrS escape. Besides this, the vege-
tables themselves are made less di-
gestible when cooked in this way, with
the exception of dried beans or dried
peas.
The second mistake commonly made
is that Of cooking vegetables too long.
Instead Of being made more tender by
prolonged cooking many vegetables are
made unpalatable and indigestble.
Cabbage, for instance, If cooked the
right length OF time. s pleasing Of
favor and for most persons entirely
dlgestible, but If cooked too long 1t
causes Indigestion and loses its flavor.

When Silk Hats First Came In.

Silk hats were known in France some
years before John IIetherington fright
ened Lcndoners by wearing one. They
came in with the French revolution
when all patriotic citizens abandoned
wigs and had their hair cut short. En-
cravings printed so early rs 1890 de-
pict sans culotte dandieS wearing top
hats. In rare print Of the trial Of the
GirondiSts. which took place in 1893, all
the judges appear crowned with silk
hats. Although the silk top hat is not
much more than hundred years old,
hats of that shape were worn hundreds
Of years before. In EliZabethan times
Il cylindrical hat with a brim rather
similar to that OF the fftics and with
the addition of Il plume was worn by
the nobility. According TO Raphael it
was worn very much earlier even than
that. a rcd top hat appears in the car
