st. Paul points out that the shifting
of the rock was symbolical. AS the
mamma typified Jesus. so did the smit-
ten rock also. The refreshing water
from the rock symbolized the blessings
flowing from Christ's sacrifice. The
shifting of the rock at the beginning OF
Israers experiences was authorized of
God. 1t was necessary that upon Jesus
should fall the rod of aflliction, even

The "large-eyed doll" is denounced

lean burlesque inventions which real

(referring to the teddy bears and their
successors). In spite of these novel;

suit was the dropsical doll with water

How Matches Are Made

From the Boston Globe.
Formerly matches were made by hand
and were much more expensive than
now, when ingenious automatic ma7
chimes turn them out by the thous-
ands. The first step in the manufac-
ture Is to prepare the wood splints from
blocks of pine, which must be free OF
knots and cross grained portions. The
wood, first thoroughly dried, is sawed
into the length of an ordinary match
l. Il to "a inches; machine cuts these
blocks into thin strips, which pass over
an endless chain and are cut and
pressed into match splints, each strip
furnishing A matches at each revolu-
tion of the machine, and these are
turned out at the rate of 175 10 200
revolutions a minute. The splints are
carried over a beating block Snd to
Ireceptacles containing paraffin and the
composition which forms the head OF
the match; the matches are cooled and
dried by blasts of air and are auto
Imatieally removed and packed in boxes.
The composition forming the isniting
head of the match consists OF phos-
phorous and inter, or phosphorous, sui
phur and chlorate of potash, mixed with
melted gum or glue and colored with
Ivermillion, umber or other coloring ma
terial
The safety match a Swedish inven-
tion, differs from the ordinary one In
having the phosphorus omitted from
the composition applied to the match
and combined instead with sand TO
form a friction surface on the match
box, where the matches must be rubbed
in order to be ignited.

the comfortable figure of $4,000 francs.
The weeping widow was soon the mer-
ry widow and a little later became the
blushing bride of Monsieur Y. seri-

white haired old lady in elastic-sided
boots and a very rusty bonnet knocked
at the door.

polite maid.

sponse.

mother has been dead for 20 years
oh, ever so long"
IT am not his mother, but his wife"
said the old lady as she pushed her
way into the hall.
Now, this Is all very ordinary. The
amusing thing occurred when the case
went into court. The old lady's story
was true. Twenty-seven years before
M. Y, then a young man, had married
in his native Yonne a lady old enough
to be his mother, whom he deserted
few years later. Now. M. Y, has a
happy faculty of forgetfulness. The un-
important incident of this former mar
riage had entirely slipped his memory
when he paid successful court TO the

landowners line of defense before the
examining magistrate "A mere lapse of
memory, M. lie Juge,' he said, sis sure

law, and / appeal to you" continued the
unregenerate culprit, "as man of
sympathy and sense. to permit me, see
ing that a choice is inevitable to keep

to come before the assizes of Seine

The archduchess Elenore, eldest daugh-
ter of the Archduke and Archduchess
Karl Stephan, became engaged in the
course of last September, as result of
mutual affection extending over several
years to Naval Lieutenant Alfons van
Kloss, with the knowledge of the en-
peror and consent of her parents. The
archduchess has, of her own accord, re-
nounced all rights and claims to which
she may be entitled. The marriage will

Olga of Greece intends to visit the 21

republic of monks who live on Mount

selves by their want of courtesy to
crowned heads, excusing their uncouth-
ness by their statutes and by the legend
that the Virgin Mary came bearing the
infant Jesus in her arms to indicate the
site of the monasteries-since when no
other woman has been permitted to set

The announcement that the King and

was no course open to them but to alter
their statutes and welcome their Queen.

Still After the Water.

The voters of Northampton township al
the last election voted for an appropria.
ton to be expended in investigating the
water supply of the town and to discover
what could be done to improve the situa-
ton.
After getting samples of water from
some of the wells in the neighborhood the
Board of Health visited the plant of the
Mount Holly Water Company and made a
thorough investigation of everything con-
nected with the place. There were some
things that appeared to need an explana-
tion and the Board decided to hold a
meeting and have discussion of the
matter.
Thursday evening the Board of Health
met With them were the following
representatives of the Water Company: B.
F. Haywood Shreve, James s. Hulme,
Stacy B. Lippincott. John R. Howell and
Charles A. King. The spokesman for the
company admitted that there is colon
communi in large quantity in the raw
water but claimed that filtration removed
every particle of the Objectionable matter
In proof of this analyses were shown in
which the germs were entirely absent.
The Board of Health did not think that
the water was analysed often enough and
that there was danger of disease germs
getting into the water between the time
the reports were made. They suggested
that analyses be made twice month, the
reports to be handed to the Board OF
Health for publication as soon as received,
This was at first objected to on the ground
of expense, but it was suggested that cost
was nothing In comparison to the safety
of the health Of the public and the Water
Company agreed to have this request COM
piled with.
The subject of artesian wells was taken
up and samples of water were shown. One
of them came from a well on the premises
of Caleb s. Ridgway, at Lumberton. 1t
was clear and free from iron or other de-
posits. This showed that it was possible
to get good water in this vicinity. This
phase of the subject was given consider
able consideration and the representatives
Of the Water Company promised to study
this part of the subject and to do all In
their power to give the people of Mount
Holly water that would be above reproach.
