CHASTITY Custom.

The medical profession has succeed
ed in doing away with a revolving
custom that has prevailed in Constan-
tinople for almost a century. In 1927
the authorities discovered that the
Greeks were in the habit of smuggling
in large quantities of arms and am
munition in closed collins. They there
fore ordered that thenceforward cof-
fms containing the corpses of Greeks
should be borne lidless through the
streets and only sealed after entering
the cemetery. Since that time the
Greeks have attempted by painting
the faces of the dead and resorting to
other crude devices, to render the
procedure less CHASTITY. They have
also agitated, from time to time, for
the abolition of the custom, but made
no impression upon the Ottoman gov
eminent until the local doctors came
to their aid. The recent funeral OF
Constantin V, patriarch Of the Greek
church, furnished a test case. After
an acrimonious debate, 1t was de-
cided that the coffin should be closed
and the custom abolished.

sister fell on the sidewalk while at
play and shattered her elbow. DR..
Edward G. Wiley, chief police sur
geon, explained patiently over the tele-
phone how the splint should be put
on, and Sarah made such a good job
Of 1t as to win the admiration Of all
who say the tiny patient when she ar
rived at the receiving hospital with
her little amateur nurse. The chill
dren's father is at the county hospital
and their mother went to visit him
Maybelle fell and broke her arm. Sa.
rah called up the receiving hospital.
but owing to the distance was advised
to call one of the district doctors. She
could raise none, and again called the
receiving hospital. Doctor Wiley told
Sarah what to do to relieve the baby's
pain, while the ambulance raced out
to the Shaffer home, and Sarah obeyed
instructions to the letter.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

The alumni held it's first meeting Of
the fall on October %, 1914, at the
Garrison Square Field House. A good
ly number we're present. The execu-
tive committee, through its chairman,
Prof. Buster of the Sumner High
school, Kansas City, Kas., reported
that it had decided that the ~associa-
tion should discuss for study this year
the history of the Negro race, from
its origin and development up to the
present time, through all of its phases
and many sidedness. This history
shall be in the form of monthly edi-
t~orials, in which at each meeting
there shall be an editor in chief who
will associate with him two or three
associate editors, and they together
will write and prepare for presentation
in person their editorials on that par
ticular phase of the historical devel-
opment of the race, set apart for that
particular monthly discussion, and so
on down the line until we have sys-
tematically, intelligently, a%uthorita-
lively and logically studied and dis
cussed, by all members, up to and in
elusive of, the present time, fn order
that we may have a thorough and
fundamental conception of the origin
and "pari passu" development of our
beloved race. For instance, for our
next meeting, which will take place
on the third Thursday in November
we shall present for discussion and
study the history of the Negro race
I'D to and inclusive of the Fifteenth
century, from the very beginnings OF
human existence. The speakers or
editors for this occasion will be: Prof.
Buster, who will be the editor-in-chief,
His associate editors will be Rev. VIM
H. Thomas, pastor of Allen chapel;
Prof. G. N. Grisham, principal OF Lin
coin High school, Kansas City, Mo-.
and Hon. L. Amasa Knox, the learned
colored lawyer of the Kansas City
Moo, bar. All members are invited
to be present on that occasion, for
am sure that the editorials VIII be
inspiring, instructive and interesting
indeed.

KEPT ON "LAYiN'."

Anthony Comstock at a luncheon In
New York said Of certain tabooed
books and plays:
THE motive of these works was per-
haps all right. But the expression, the
form, was bad. And that spoiled the
motive completely.
Expression, form, you know, is
everything. Consider how the lack OF
it spoiled the mason's speech.
"A mason at a memorial service
said of a bricklayer who had been &C
cidentally killed:
Yes, gents, l looked out once on
the beauties Of nature, and all was
calm. Our friend, deceased here, was
layin' a brick. l looked out once
again, and still all was cam, but ouI
friend, deceased, was nc more. He was
layin' a corpse"

The little differences between life in
London and New York are by no
all to the credit of the latter.

In London the goods you purchase in

the evening; in New York you are
lucky ia they arrive next day. The
parcel post, too, is quite a new thing
in America. Add to this such facts as
the absence. of boots" in the hotels
the guests having to resort to the
street-corner "gshiners'-and the dis

of which the American is SO fond
when comparing himself with us are
not always to be applied as he applies

Whereas, it has so pleased the ON

to call from labor to reward our sis
ter and co-worker, Mrs. Minnie Nose
ly; and,
Whereas, Mrs. Mosely has so faith
fully and earnestly worked in the
church when her health would per-
nit and was always willing to do
what she could; we will miss her
pleasant smiles and cheerful words.
She never shirked from doing her
Christian duty.
Why should our tears in sorrow flow,
When God recalls his own?
And bids her leave a world of woe
For an immortal throne.
Is not cen death a gain to her,
Whose life to God was given?
| Gladly to earth her eyes to close
To open them in heaven.
Her tolls are past, her work is done,
And she is fully blest.
She fought the fight, the victory won,
And entered into rest.
Then let our tears cease to flow,
God has recalled his own,
But let our hearts in every woe
Still say, Thy will be DONE
May the blessings of God rest upon
the dear and faithful husband who
like his wife is a faithful worker in
the church.
Be it resolved, that we invoke the
blessings of the Almighty upon the
bereaved family, administering then
to put their trust in him, who is faith

port in the time of trouble, Be il

Resolved, That a copy of these reso

OHhand SUGGESTION.

"A man is fortunate when his wife
regards him as a man whose wisdom
can always be depended on"
YES" replied Mr.. Growcher; but
that confiding faith can be carried too
far. It's embarrassing to have your
wife tell the company that dinner Will
be fifteen or twenty minutes late, and
that while they are waiting you will ex!
plain all about the tariff and banking
and currency"

Probable Duration of Sun,

Adopting the w~ell-known hypothesis
of H~elmholtz, which attributes the
production of the heat emitted by the
sun to its contraction, an idea can be
formed of the suns duration. II one
gives to the sun a co-eficient Of ex-
pansion intermediate between that of
mercury and that Of gas, n arrives
at the conclusion that it has taken
one million to three million years
for the sun to contract to it's present
radius; in particular, 1t would have
taken ten thousand years to contract
from in1nity to a radius twice its
present radius. Finally, the sun will
take 100000, 900 years to contract
from its present radius to half that
radius, and even then it's temperature
at the surface will be 5000 degrees
