Wanted His Orders Direct.

A rather quaint yarn concerns a
certain general officer who was so
misguided as to take his son with
him as aid. The well-meaning young
man, delivering an order to an artiI-
lery brigadier, who was feeling bit
liverish that morning, unwisely said:
IF you please, my father wants you
to move your guns to so and So"
Very well, my boy,'h replied the bri-
gadier. Now run along and see what
your mother wants done!"

TeIIfnu Fresh Eoos.

To ascertain the freshness of an
egg without breaking, hold it before
strong light and look directly
through the she'll. II the yolk ap-
pears round, and the white surround
ing it clear, the chances are that the
egg is fresh. Or drop it into water;
if the egg sinks quickly and remains
at the bottom it is in all probability
fresh, but if it stands on end it it
doubtful, and quite bad if it floats.
The shell of fresh egg looks dull,
while that of stale one is glossy.

That the United States Marine is
serious in his reading and does not
care for the froth of modern fiction,
is the report of barracks librarians
for the year of 1915. soundings taken
of his literary tastes show "deep stuff"
and no bottom, for Guizot's History
of Civilization" found greater favor
with Marines than any other book in
the various libraries of the Marine
Corps.
Although thousands of volumes of
featherweight "best sellers" teetered
on the library shelves, the sea SOL
diers showed preference for works
of purely historical or educational
value and Shakespeare outdrew Mar
ryat, while Fennimore Cooper ran a
bad second to Oliver Goldsmith, the
librarians say.

Tells OF GROWTH.
Rev. Edwards in his sunday even
ing sermon dwelt at length on the
growth Of the Sunday school during
the four years the new church has
been occupied He said that when
the church was built the school had
an enrolment Of 400 and that it was
thought enough facilities had been
installed in the church 10 care for a
Sunday school of 700. How the
classes and departments have been
constantly shifted 10 meet the de-
mand for more room and better
equipment was dwelt upon by him,
and he expressed the thought that
new equipment and better facilities
would soon be required.
When the church was dedicated,
the sunday school enrolment had
reached 500 and has gradually
grown until now it is over 500. The
sum Of $1,000 has been spent in
an effort to provide room and facili-
ties for this enrolment. Along with
the numerical growth has also been
the financial growth. In 1912 the
missionary offering from the Sun
day school was 1852. while in 1916
il has been 1858. an increase of 1876
percent in four years.
As the local Sunday school has
grown, so has the membership of
the church schools at large increas-
ed. In the last eight years the
growth has been wonderful, previous
to 1908, 35, 200 students was the gain
per year for 10 years; since 1908 the
gain has been 1885, per year. The
enrolment in the Sunday schools in
1915 was 4.59S,621. Since 1908 the
average annual income from the
Sunday school has been $104, 1856.
Mrs. G. b. Williams gave d short
organ recital preceding the sermon.
The superintendents of the Sunday
school departments were seated on
the platform.
