haps the nearest approach to the
conventional drawing-room ballad

reproach that Messenger should have
made this concession to a widely
prevalent taste. especially as when
he does put his pen to II he can give
most of the regular providers a very
long start.
From the above brief survey 1t
will be seen that. while adhering to
the style Of light opera, Messenger
has also kept in view the characteri-
ration which belongs to grand
opera There is a fine discrimination
in the way in which he distributes
his tunes among the characters so
that each has something appropri-
ate. Even in the best days Of
French light opera this was by no
means the rule. So long as the
tunes were good. composers were
always ready to bring them in
whether they were dramatically
suitable or not. Perhaps the one
outstanding example of the con-
trary was Sullivan, who hit on Il
character with few notes and a
rhythm as convincingly as Phil
May with a pencil. Messenger has
not gone quite so far. For one
thing, the subject does not make
such exacting demands in this d.

SOAP FOR USE IN HAREMs.


The costliest soap in the world is
that manufactured specially in the
Levant for use in the harems Of
wealthy Mohammedans in the near
East and in the zenanas of India.
These seraglio or harem soaps, as
they are variously termed, according
to an exchange, are made by only
two or three firms, and are guaran-
teed free from all animal fats what
soever. The purest olive oil alone
enters into their composition, and
the cakes, which are invariably quite
small, are scented with the finest
quality altar of roses and other rare
oriental perfumes. They are made
in certain well-defned shapes-stars,
crescents, twists, ovals and so on
and each tiny cake has imprinted
upon it some simple motto for the
faithful in beautiful Arabic char
acters.

MEAT AFFECTED BY TIDES
California Farmer Makes Peculiar A.
sertion Concerning the Proper
Time for Killing Hogs.

In addition to being used for
floating ships, carrying sewage,
drainage, irrigation, flood control
and for drinking purposes, the Sac
ramento (Cal.) river is now used
to determine the proper time for
killing hogs.
Local United States Weather OBJ
server n. R. Taylor was visited by
a farmer who inquired concerning
the rise and fall of the tides on the
river, and enlightened the weather
sage by telling him that he wanted
to get in on the next cold spell, and
to be sure he was on the safe side
he wanted to get the correct read
ing,
The theory of the farmer in
coupling hog killing with the river
tides was thus explained by the Wis
itor; If the swine is slaughtered on
falling or ebb tide the bacon all
runs to grease in the frying pan;
but if the porker is butchered at
flood tide the meat will be firm and
retain the delicious breakfast odor
coming from the streaked sides and
from the aroma of the sweet ham
and rich gravy.

st. Andrews Annual Election.

The postponed Annual Elect.
ion of Church officers was held
at st. Andrews Church on Mon
day, 9th of January, and re-
suited as follows: The delegates
to the Diocesan Convention for
1919 are c. H. Rex, H. Davis
and R. Justice, their alternates
being S. w. Thompson, w. R.
O'Neil and S. Kroesen. Mr.. T. j.
Walker was elected Warden of
the Vestry for two years instead
of Mr.. O'Neil, who declined the
nomination for election. There
being two vacancies on the Yes
try, Mr.. C. H. Rex was reelected
and MIR. H. Davis was elected to
serve for a term of three years.
At the meeting for the organiza-
ton of the Vestry, which was
held on Tuesday February 18th,
Mr.. G. H. Rex was reelected Sec
rotary, and Mr.. H. Davis was
elected Treasurer. The necessity
OF placing a new roof upon the
Parish House, the present roof
having become dllapidated and
leaking in many places, was dis
cussed. 1t is estimated that to
replace the present unsatisfact-
DRY roof with a slate roof will
cost nigh upon $1,000, but the
Vestrymen feel that it is imper-
alive such should be undertaken.
