Barrel Organ In Church.

One of the few barrel organs still
in use in English places of worship
is to be found in the Church of St.
Thomas-a-Becket at Brightling,
Sussex. This remarkable relic was
presented to the church nearly 200
years ago. 1t possesses six stops
and two barrels, each of which plays
twelve tunes. When the organ was
given the donor presented the male
members of the choir with white
smocks, buckskin breeches and yell
low stockings, and the girls with
red cloaks, to be used during serv-
ice on the day the organ was first
played and afterward. The organ
has survived these strange gar
ments, for it is still in use, and it's
repertory includes a number Of the
best known hymn tunes.

At One Fell swoop.

arations for removing superfuous
hair?' asks the man who enters the
drug store with firm tread and a
set countenance.

"Give me pint. l want to use it

"But, man, you haven't got any

You're nearly bald now"

Probably every reader Of this paper
has noticed in reading the Veterinary
columns in Farm Journals this advice:
"Clean up and disinfect." 1t Is a
phrase that is used perhaps more than
any other in recommending measures
to prevent and exterminate contagious
diseases. This being the case, it is
worth while knowing something about
what to use to accomplish this clean
ing up and disinfecting. OF course
there are great many different dis
infectants on the market. Everyone
Is familiar with carbolic acid, corro-
sive sublimate, formaldehyde, etc.
However, there is very serious OBJ
lection to these materials for they are
rank. irritant poisons Many people
refuse to have them around because
there is always more or less danger Of
a disastrous accident. A mistake in
picking up the wrong bottle, or an i'm
proper use of one of these is apt to be
q very serious matter.
1t Is really fortunate that there is a
Sdisinfectant that will do everything
that those mentioned will and yet is
practically free from these serious OBJ
jections. Kreso Dip No. 1 is admitted
by psychologists to be a powerful
disinfectant, cleanser and purifier, yet
practically non-poisonous to higher
animal life. Every stock owner ought
to be posted upon this subject Book

the drug store at Friday Harbor.

Education and Spelling.

1t is jolly to read among all the
contests of spelling reformers that
we bad spoilers spell badly because
we know too much. / am speaking
sadly of myself. When once you
know three or four languages say
French, Latin, Greek and English
you can never be certain what is
the accepted way of spelling such q
word as apartment" or address"
or even s1iterature." And German
and Spanish make for despair. The
more languages you learn the worse
you spell your own. Which en-
courages me to spell as / please

is CHRIST IN THE RENTED PEW?

An appealing story is printed in The
Living Church (Milwaukee), from
woman who sought church utilization
in a new and strange city, and found
it impossible because she couldn't al
ford to rent pew. She was ever
looked and neglected., first in one
church, then in a second, and even
her appeals for some others more un-
fortunate in their poverty than she
and her family were carelessly heed
ed 1--WE must face the fact" adds
Mrs. Virginia Lee at the conclusion
of her recital, that the church is not
keeping the commandments of Christ,
who gave her definite work to do, the
feeding of the hungry, the clothing
OF the destitute, the lifting OF the an
cient weight of wo under which the
world is staggering" The writer still
feels that she should go to church,
''but day by day it is growing harder

as we sit in the presence of this new
atombment of our blessed Lord and
Master"
The paper in which the article ap-
pears recognizes the justice OF the
criticism, which applies almost wholly
to city churches, and scathingly ar
raigns the policy of snobbish churches
that make the edifices "other private
leasehold of the pew renters" and
club houses of the well-tO-dO," and
practically bar. out the poor. Hap
ply" it says, lover 80 per cent of our
churches are now emancipated from
rental of pews."

BURNS PRODUCE POISON.
4 Deadly Toxic Infection 70 Set Up py
the Affected Tissues.

For MANY years the deaths which
.os,,lted from severe burns were at
tr;huted to shock. Such burns are
among the commonest accidents
that befall workmen, and their
treatment has been grave problem
with the medical profession. Wo-
men and children, too, because OF
the fimsy and infammable charac-
ter of their clothing, very often are
victims of such burns.
DR. Pels-Leusden made some re-
searches upon the theory that these
burns produced other injurious ef-
fects in addition to the shock to
the nervous system. His theory
was that the sudden destruction Of
the skin generated violent poison
which was absorbed by the blood
and this played leading part III
causing death. He made expert
ments in which he inserted portions
of freshly burned skin into the flesh
of animals where they could be rap
idlv absorbed. These animals at
once presented the symptoms that
they would have shown if their own
skin had been burned.
This discovery seems likely to
revolutionize the surgical treatment
of burns. Instead of merely apply
ing germicides and excluding the
air by soothing oils and powders, sur
geons now place the patient at once
under an anaesthetic and scrape
away all the burned tissue. The ex-
posed surface is then dressed with
absorbent cotton to take up the dis
charges, and the heart and kidneys
are stimulated to throw off what
ever poison has been absorbed be-
fore the operation could be per-
formed.-World's Work.

BRAINY AND CRAZY.
Eecsntrieity Of cruden, Compiler Of The
Bible Concordance.

Alexander Cruden, the persever-
ing and painstaking compiler Of the
famous concordance to the Bible,
was appointed bookseller to the
queen of George II. by Sir Robert
Walpole. The concordance which
has conferred celebrity on his name
was published and dedicated to
Queen Caroline in 1887. He was
permitted to present copy Of it in
person to her majesty, who, he said,
smiled upon him and assured him
she was much obliged to him. She
died sixteen days afterward, and
Cruden did not reap the benefit Of
the queens appreciation which he
had anticipated. He prepared Sec
ond edition twenty-four years after
ward and dedicated it to her grand
son, George III. For this and
third edition, issued in 1859, he
reaped a reward of $500.
Cruden was a very eccentric char
acter and was thrice placed in prl-
vate lunatic asylums. He designat-
ed himself "Alexander the Correc-
tor" and also the "Corrector OF Nor
ais" his claim to the latter title con-
sisting in his stopping all persons
whom he met in public places on
Sundays and admonishing them to
go home and keep the Sabbath Gay
holy. He was a great believer ID
the distribution of tracts and spent
a great part of his means in this
way.
It seems difficult to believe tha nat
an eccentric man of this sort shoula
have his name associated with such
a remarkably painstaking BOOK as
his concordance undoubtedly is, as
it must have cost an enormous
amount of labor in its compilation:
but it was probably the severity o. ..
his occupation that unhinged lib
mind. He died at Camden s1re'''
Tslington,. on Nov. l, 177O.

Raw EGGS.

Sometimes when one is very i'll
raw eggs are prescribed when even
milk cannot be given. The follow
ing is an excellent method of prepa-
ration: Beat the white very light,
then add the yolk and beat again.
Then take two tablespoonfuls of
boiling water and pour it on the egg
very slowly, beating all the while.
Add grains of salt, a very little
sugar, dash of favoring and two
tablespoonful of sweet cream. Let
the whole stand until cold, then
pour into glass and serve. By
using the boiling water the raw
taste which is so disagreeable to
some people is entirely destroyed.

Relic Of Noah.

The desert of Carlitte in the
Pyrenees, close on 10000 feet above
the sea, contains no fewer than
sixty lakes of varying sizes. These,
according to local tradition, were
left at the time of the flood. When
the waters subsidized, it is said, Noah
and his family landed on the Puy
de Prigue, one of the highest peaks
in the district. Proof of the truth
of this tradition is found in an iron
ring to which, the peasants declare,
the ark was moored when the land
ing was effected.

Diplomatic Advice.

At the death of the Duke of Wei
lington the whole diplomatic corps
was invited to the funeral. The
French ambassador, on receiving
his invitation, was very much upset.
He hurried off to his colleague OF
Russia, Baron Brunnow.
'The queen," he said, expects
us to go to the funeral of the Duke
of Wellington. How can | go, con-
sidering the injuries which the duke
inflicted Oh my country? What
shall | do?"
Baron Brunnow listened gravely
to his colleagues exposition and
then replied:
GAS the duke is Dead" he said,
II think you can safely 60 to the
funeral. If you were asked to at
tend his resurrection, ! should say
refuse the invitation"

Australia.

The first civilized settlement in
Australia was made at Botany bay
in 1888 by some 1000 persons,
mostly convicts. In 1925 Moreton
Bay, New South Wales, was settled.
The settlement Of Western Austria
liza dates from 1929. Explorations
of Australia began in 1878 and have
been kept up at intervals ever since.
The greater part Of the interior Of
the continent is little better than
desert, being either sand or dense
shrub or porcupine bush.

Before the isthmus of Suez was
pierced by the canal there were very
few sharks in the Mediterranean,
the passage through the straits Of
Gibraltar not being to their liking.
Now, however, they come in by way

that in more than one watering

the vision of that extra $50 in my
mind and so managed to exist

been an intolerable Incarceration.

asked if there was no mail for me.
