Be. RsIIsves In Efficiency.

Farm and Fireside, the well-known
farm paper, says: ''The ant takes rank
over the honey bee in scriptural com
mendation Gs a hustler, but the mod
ern specialized bee directs his activi-
ties into commercial channels in way
that leaves the ant away behind. Prof.
M. B. Waite, Uncle Sans bee chief,

netting before they unfolded, and Sc
cured only three apples from the ex-
pertinent. Other apple blossoms, on

Vision and Headache.

A recent study of this subject has
brought out evidence that people OF
One-eyed, mOnocular vision are not
troubled with eye headache. Whether
one eye be disabled or whether its use
has simply been abandoned, either
constantly or alternately, the fact that
seeing is done wholly by one eye elm
mates the struggle to make two I'M
equal eyes work In perfect unison.
Freed from the strain of that struggle,
the subject finds that the reflex infiu-
ence upon the cranial nerves is no
longer a matter Of pain.

IndlaIa Tailor Bird.

The tailor bird of India, a tiny vel.
low creature, makes a most curious
nest. To escape snakes and monkeys,
this bird takes a dead leaf, flies up
into a tree, and, with a fiber for a
thread and its bill for a needle, sews
the Leaf to a green one hanging from
the tree, an opening to the nest thus
formed being left at the top. The
leaf, apparently hanging from a twig,
would never be taken for a nest.

Two new members were added to
the list of active membership, Mrs.
John Saunders and Miss Keith

Among the matters of greatest
interest which were considered was
that of joining the State Federation
of Women's Clubs of New Jersey.
The matter was held under consider
alton until a month later on account
of the small attendance due to the
storm.
A statement was read from the

THE WORK OF LASTING EFFECT

Thursday night was PatrioticNight
at the Asher-Rockwell revival meet
ing in the First Baptist church. and
the principal speaker of the evening
was Rev. DIR. George Boddis. pastor
of the church.
Delegations from the local P. o.
S. of A., Jr. o. U. A. M, G. A. R.,
and Boy Scouts were present, as
we'll as quite number of outside
visitors.
With twenty-five trail hitters Civic
Night at the Asher-R Rockwell revival
was complete success. Rev. Their
on Lee, pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church, preached the main
sermon, and the evangelist. Rev.
William Asher, talked for a little
while, his throat being much i'm
proved.
The high school pupils, the city
firemen, city councilmen, Chamber
of Commerce, Merchants Association,
were among the delegations present,
and the First Baptist church was
packed to the doors.
Rev. William Asher preached the
sermon Tuesday, the first meeting
that he has conducted in its entirety
since he came to Lambertville more
than two weeks ago. His throat,
which was so afflicted as to prevent
his speaking at any length before,
has practically cleared, and Tuesday
night he went at it hammer and
longs" He criticized those who
have not done personal work in the
campaign, and among the many
things he said was that A woman
will fret and stew for a whole day
over cake she is baking, but not
give five minutes to the work of
bringing her neighbor to Christ"
Up to Monday night the churches
had added 245 to their membership:
Presbyterian, 104; Methodist, 78;
Baptist, 55.
A strong drive will be made for
converts from now on until Sunday
night, the close of the campaign,
and it is thought that Pennington s
record will be reached or exceeded.
Rev. William Asher preached last
night, and Row. j. Hastings Patter-
son, of the New Hope Presbyterian
church, took an active part in sing
ing. Several hit the trail"
Rev. DR.. George Boddis was in at
tendance again last night for the
