How Perfectly Frenohl

There is a prefect in the south Of
France who has a mania for his wife's
hands. which are particularly beauti-
ful. So that he may always have the
object OF his alteration under his eyes
a model In bronze Of one of the hands
has been made and the prefect keeps
Il on bis desk at his Office.
An official in this projects district,
anxious to secure his influence for po-
ntical preferment. has devised a de
lightful way Of paying him a delicate
compliment Every time he enters the
great mans office he walks silently to
his desk. takes up the bronze hand and
kisses il respectfully.
The prefect is so much impressed by
this act Of gallantry that the tactful
young man has already secured lucra-
tive promotion.-London Mirror.

tCrian Church last night, when 100
women, ell members Of ine Mission
arv Society OF that church, presented
missionary pageant in which prac-
tlcally all the heather countries OF
Europe were represented. Especi-
ally interesting was the entertain
ment from the fact that the attention
OF the world is just now heing direct
ed to European countries.
Dressed as Burmese. Chinese. jap
snese, Hindus. Moslems, Pilgrims and
Horalds. the scene presented in the
church when all marched in process
sion down the aislc9 % tie platform
was most picturcs ard colotful.
The pageant was l.vided into two
parts. In the first we're representa-
tives OF the foreign countries and I'm
the second we're the heralds and pill
grims. An invisible choir sang ap-
propriate hymns while the procession

HANOVER MEMBERS

Audience Delighted With
CeleStOchOrd Selections
and Vocal Numbers

Hanover Presbyterian Church,
which this week is celebrating its one
hundredth anniversary, never looked
brighter or more beautiful than it did
last evening upon the occasion Of it's
social evening, given by the Sunday
school to its scholars and their friends
which, of course, included many Of the
adult members of the congregation.
The church was filled and varied
program contributed by Miss Irene
Fulton, elocutionist, Charles l. Hen
drIcks, Celesto-chordist, selections by
the Sunday school male quartet, and
orchestra, were much enjoyed.
All OF Miss Fulton's selections were
of humorous nature, which made q
hit with all from the children of the
primary class to the aged.
The numbers played by Mr.. Hen
bricks were of a more serious nature.
and to the Celestochord's accompani-
ment the congregation sang BEST Be
the Tie that Binds"
The tone of the Celestochord re-
sembles that Of the church organ to
a remarkable degree, which, coupled
with its great volume, makes It a
unique instrument.
In Mr.. Hendricks rendition Of
abide With Me" it was not difficult
to imagine one was listening to the
most beautifully voiced choir organ,
such as is used in St. Bartholo-
news Church, New York City, and
other instruments Of similar scope.
Mr.. Robinson, superintendent of
the Sunday school, announced the
various numbers on the program.

poas FOR Draft Work.

The use OF dogs for draft work was
prohibited In London In 1899, but re-
mained legal in the provinces for an
other fifteen years. Sir Walter GU
hey, In his "Recolections Of Seventy
Years" notes as a feature Of his boy
hood at Bishop Stortford the numbers
Of dog carriages and carts on the
Essex lanes and highroads. "All sorts
and conditions Of men used dog car
riages. from small tradesmen to poorer
people who could not afford a pony.
Dog draft was abolished because
certain people agitated against 1t as
cruel, but ! think that generallv the
dogs were neither III treated nor over
worked. There are probably many peo-
pie living who can remember when the
tugging propensity Of the dog was
utilized in England. Worklngmen had
their dogcarts,' in which they made
Sunday and holiday excursions. The
dogs employed were. as a rule, heavy
half bred bull mastlffs with a touch OF
the lurcher in them. They thought
nothing Of drawing their masters fifty
or sixty miles in a day."-LOndon

To Set a Razor.

When a razor begins to 'pulr' and
drag the hair instead Of cutting it there
is no need 10 send It to the barber to
be set There is a perfectly simple
method by which any one can put 1t in
trim. All that is necessary Is to turn
an ordinary sharp table knife edge up
ward and lay the razor nat on the
edge Of the knife. Then draw the
razor along downward. pressing light
ly all the while from heel to toe, as in
stropping, turning and repeating thG
operation half dozen times. If the
razor is then stropped the keenness Of
its edge will be surprising.-PearsOn

fell upon some scraps Of colored silk
