Hyde Parks Water System

Las Thursday test of the water sys
tenn was made by j. F. Driscoll of the
New England Insurance Exchange. Thi.
test was made for the purpose of deter.
mining in what class the village of Hyde
Park would be placed as regards fire
risk. Three lines of hose were connected
on two hvdrants on Main street. and a
total amount of 1853 gallons per minute
was obtained. Tue static pressure of
the three was 80 pounds. On Depot
street two lines of hose were used on the
lowest hydrant and $50 gallons per min
ute were obtained. The pressure at this
point was 100 pounds.
There is no question but that our viii
lage has the water and the necess ary
force to put 1t where it is needed, as has
bsen shown not only by these tests but by
the several fires which have been prompt
ly extinguished when discovered.

MAKING MONEY WITH NEEDLE
Is Proficient Can Earn at Least
Part Of Her Living.

The woman who is handy with a
needle need not lack employment, and
II she is clever in catching artistic
IDEAS she can make so much more
money in pleasant occupation. There
Is much work to be done aside from
| regular dressmaking, millinery and
knitting.
For instance, the vocation of dress
making is as old as the beach sands.
but many odd time occupations which
are distinctly new have evolved them
selves from the seamstress tasks.
Ihere Is a woman in one town who
works buttonholes. For many reasons
she could not do regular dressmaking,
but she takes in many penny In the
course of year. People who do their
own sewing but dislike the buttonhol-
ing bring the garments to her for this
finishing, and even the village dress
maker often sends in bundle OF va
rious garments to be "buttonholed" in
a time of rush.
From the easy buttonholes in lin
gerie blouses at one cent each her
prices range to two cents each in
wooden dresses and motor coats and to
five and sometimes ten cents hole
In corduroy, fur and heavy cloth coats.
She charges according to material and
the time and skill required. She does
no other kind Of sewing. She has
found it profitable to buy by the dozen
buttonhole twist and thread of the
right size in a variety of standard
colors, the price of which is included
In her charges. Buying by the dozen
She gets the material cheaper.
Another woman makes skating and
motor caps and bonnets.

Curious Tobacco Pipe Rorer.

Travellers among the Sioux Indians
are very much impressed with the
perfect smoothness of the bore in their
pipestems, Popular Science says.
Without the use of tool of any kind
they make perfect bore in the twigs
of ash trees which they use for must
cal instruments and for pipes. To
accomplish this end they employ the
larva of butterfly which inhabits the
ash tree. The Indians remove the
pitch for about three inches from the
stick they wish to be bored. Into this
cavity they place one of the larva of
a brown butterfly, which gradually
eats its way down through the pith
until the bore is completed. A little
heat applied to the wood expedites
the work of the larva. The Indians
consider both the tube made in this
way and the larva as sacred as their
idols.

LIGHT OF MODERN SCIENCE

DR.. T. Alexander MacNichol, in one
of his addresses, says briefly: Fifty
years ago men commonly believed
that alcohol was food, tonic, and stim-
ulant; but they were excusable for ig-
norance, as little was known of the
psychology and chemistry of the blood
and tissues; the action of bacteria
upon the functions and life of tissue
cells was sealed book. The inven.
ton of instruments of precision and
the application of more exact meth
DDS of examination has revolutionized
our attitude toward alcohol. In the
light of modern science alcohol is not
a food, tonic, or a stimulant. In a
word, science has rated and classified
alcohol as a universal protoplasmic
poison to all forms of organic life."

GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
By ERNEST o. SELLERS
Director of Sunday School Cours0
Moody Bible Institute
BUSINESS MEN AND BIBLE
STUDY.

4 MISSISSIPPI newspaper man
"A testifies that while he never
goes to church and makes no pre-
tense of being a Christian of the
accepted type, yet the book most
fascinating to him and chiefly read
is the Bible. OF course he places
his own Interpretation upon it's
teachings and has his own estimate
of the various values found in diff
ferent parts of the book. That
there are thousands of mel in this
country who thus read the Bible,
who admire Its teachings and are
charmed with It's style yet who
will not accept the expositions of
the pulpit and refuse to be gov
erned by the creeds of the church,
is undoubtedly true. The modern
Sunday school, with its tremendous
recent development of the adult d.
vision, especially of mems classes,
is seriously setting itself to the
task Of reaching men of this class.
1t is furnishing them with an open
forum, a place where there is a
free exchange of thought and where
no obligation rests upon anyone to
accept any particular interpreta-
ton or subscribe to any dogma in
order to attend. Such men are
Pnnaino fvatn I'll L.,
large numbers. They feel no re-
strictions laid upon them such as
must naturally exist in the usual
preaching and worship service of
the church and finding themselves
in a congenial atmosphere and at
liberty freely to express their opin-
ions they speedily adapt them
selves to the spirit and work of
the adult division of the Sunday
school.
Usually such men are not pug
naciously welded to their own
ideas and pet hobbies, and they
discover in these classes a new
viewpoint. They are led to a
deeper personal study and a wider
charity for the views and opinions
of others, which frequently leads to
a most profound change in their
lives. Man by searching cannot find
out God, by thinking he cannot Sc
cure life. Three millenniums of
philosophy finds man wor-
Shipping the meanest and vilest of
beasts and easily conquered by an
alien people. The Hope of Israel
alone brings Faith, Hope and Char
ity, satisfies the need of our intel
Iectual faculties and leads into all
truth.
