CHURCHES OF SALONIKi.
Rssplendsnt In the Lost Byzantine Art
 of Mosaics.

of Mosaios.
 The finest remains of the ancient city of Saloniki are its churches. How they ever survived the tenn pests of the middle ages is mir acle. Nevertheless they did, twen- ty-two of them. And they stand today, turned back into churches after their 500 years of use as mosques, illustrating the story of Byzantine ecclesiastical architecture even more beautifully in certain ways than those of Constantinople. Moreover, they make up among them a museum of the lost Byzan- tine art of mosaic, unrivalled save in Constantinople and Ravenna.
 The oldest of these churches, and, after the arch of Galerius, the most ancient monument in the city is St. George. During the long Turkish period it was the mosque of Hortaji Sulciman Etfendi. St. George is unlike any other church in Saloniki or Constantinople in that it is of circular form. The dome of the church contains the finest mosaic in the city and one of the finest in the world.
 Few cities that can boast so much in the way of interesting an- tiquities have survived themselves. They live only in the memory of what they have been. But not so Saloniki. She is too much inter- ested in what she is and what she is going to be to think very much about the past. So little, indeed, has she yet taken in, as the re- mainder of Europe has so proGtably done, the possibilities of past that was unable to find there a map of the city.
 And as I went from shop to shop in search of photographs of the fa- nous churches l was followed by a man looking vainly for a guide book. Imagine-in a town where one may live quite as comfortably as in Siena or Verona and where there is quite as much to see!- Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Lookino Glasses.

The value of 2 looking glass is usually estimated by the thickness of the glass, because the thicker it is the stronger it must be; but, speaking scientifically, thick glasses are defective, because the outlines of the image reflected are less clear ly defined. There are really three reflections and consequently three images in every glass mirror-one from the upper surface of the glass, the second from the lower surface and the third from the metallic lay CT at the back. An ideal mirror is one with a perfectly fiat surface. But it is only possible to obtain this result in comparatively small glass es. The larger glasses do not re- fleet true image, as they can't be made quite fiat.

Worth Her Weight In Butter.

Curious customs still prevail with regard to marriage. In some parts of Uganda the custom is to offer six needles and a pack of india rub Der for wife. Some of the Katfirs sacrifice oxen. The Tartars of Turkestan give the weight of the prospective wife in butter. In Kamchatka the price varies from one to ten reindeer. Some sayages require a certain amount of labor. Among the aborigines it is said the current rate for a wife is a box of matches, which prompted Paris contemporary to speculate whether one of the French government boxes would be accepted.

1rees Used For Cisterns.

Among the most curious of trees is the gigantic baobab, which four ishes in Central Africa, the trunk of which sometimes attains diam eter of forty feet. This trunk serves as a natural cistern, retaining rain water in large quantities in cav ity formed at the top. The Arabs artificially hollow out the trunks of large baobabs and fill them with water during the prevalence of rain as a provision against the dry sea- son. These cisterns are in many cases twenty feet in height and eight or ten feet in diameter.-Los Angeles Times.

Oldest lioht.,ouse.

La Coruna, the Spanish harbor, boasts, it is said, of the oldest light house in the world, it having been built by the Romans in the time of Trajan, between 9S and IF A. D. About Ill years ago the structure was overhauled and partly rebuilt, though the lower part of the pile was found to be in perfect condi- tion, a tribute to the building abil- itv of the Roman masons. When the weather is favorable the light can be seen a distance of twenty tSo miles at sea.

CLUB NOTES
ss..s....s....s.f..s..s.s..:..s..s.;.:..s..s.....

The Civic Improvement Club will meet with Miss Woods to-mor- row (Friday) afternoon at three o'clock. The members are re- minded that beginning with this meeting dues are required at the rate ot ten cents month.
 So many different lines ot work are taken up by the various clubs that one is quite astounded at the sum total of the results achieved. It is an inspiration to note what a small organization of women can accomplish when the members are jealous.
 A civil league was organized in Mellen, Wisconsin, in May, 1915, with twenty charter members. At the present time forty women are enrolled. Their slogan is "A bet ter Mellen."
 Since their Organization their work has included: proper obser- Vance of Memorial day; much need, ed improvement in their cemetery, aided by their city council, and promise of side walks to same; a yard contest to arouse civic interest among the children; several civic social affairs for adults and chil. dren; collection of garbage once a month through the summer, which the citizens appreciated greatly; observation of Baby week, ard practical interest in school affairs.
 This showed itself in purchasing two volley balls and nets, black window shades in the high school assembly room so that slides might be shown in the day time, and six teeter-totters, one giant stride, two sets low bars and four chain swings for the school yard.
 The club obtained permission tc plant vines on the west side of the  school house last spring, and they prevailed upon the school board to throw open the gymnasium to the children. Poor ventilation in the first grade room and insufficient blackboard space were remedied by the board, at the suggestion of the club, promptly and courteously
 AS part of the follow uE work after Baby week the local dentist promised to examine all children S teeth before school closed.
 The club began its second year. s work with SI5o in the treasury. They reported having received a number of donations during the year and the hearty cooperation of the city council and school board. It is needless to say that Mellen, Wisconsin, is "A Better Mo1lo,, !,

PRIEST ADVISES YOUNG
MEN TO Join COLORS

Taking for his SUBJECT Service to
God and Your Country" the Rev
Father Carey. G. S. Sp. who for the
past two weeks has been conducting
a mission for men OF st. Anne's r. c.
Church. delivered his final address
yesterday and made a stirring ap-
peal to the men to stand by their
country.
Father Carey appealed TO every
young man. either native born or
adopted. to offer his services to- the
country for the sake Of Almighty God
as well as his country.
Father Carey was formerly a chap
lain in the British army and is about
to return to that country and again
engage In the active service. His
conclusion was sad and impressive.
He referred to the possibility of his
never again returning to this country
promising always to remember the
members Of ST. Anne's and gave the
Papal blessing followed by benedic-
ton.
