WAVE OF RELIGIOUS FERV0R
"ReViVa" AIonG the East Coast Of England Is Most Remarkable
 of Recent Years.

A religious ''revival" has commenced among the fisher people on the east coast, from Grimsby to John O Greats, says the Manchester Guardian. It is difficult to say where the revival orig mated, but its effects are most notice able in the villages on the south of the Moray Firth and the Aberdeen shire coast north of Aberdeen. Ob- servers say the revival is much more extensive than that led in Wales in 1904-5 by Evan Roberts. Prayer meet ings, lasting many hours, are held nightly, the mission halls generally being full. The kinemas and public houses are in consequence nearly empty, and some of the former have had to close down. Strangers and fellow villagers are systematically stopped in the streets and asked if they have been saved. Even motor ists in some villages are held up by the more fervent. One serious aspect of the revival is it's effect on the minds of the people. Already six per sons, mostly young men and women, have been removed to hospitals and institutions for the insane, and in the event of the revival continuing much longer this number may, it is feared, swell.

Safety .peposIt Free.

The story comes from Scottsburg and it shows all the Shrewd persons are not in the large centers Of pOpu- latlOn. A stranger of ordinary ap- pearance and apparently of moderate means walked ~ into the bank and asked to borrow $5. He was told the bank did not loan such small sums, but when he insisted that the business of a bank was to loan money, that he needed the sum mentioned, and that he had good collateral. the note was made out, the banker regarding it as a good joke. Then the stranger pulled out $1O,OOO worth of Liberty bonds as collateral and left them, re- marking that at. another bank they had wished to charge him S5 for q safety deposit box to keep them in, but now the bank would keep them for him free, and he would have the banks $5 to amuse himself with.-Tndianap- oils News.

 '"Why the one that said 'Ha! Ha !! April foolp" whimpered Benny.
 John Miles never punished in haste: He pushed Benny out of his room and shut the door, "Of all the imps of Satan commend me to a bOy!' Poor, dear Chatty-I wonder if | can beat the postman out there?" Seizing his hat he hurried out, stumbling over the penitent, frightened Benny. Hesitat- ing an instant he took his hand. '.Come, son, we've got to undo the mischief you young rascals did"
 On the way out Benny was left to his anxious thoughts. Arrived at their destination, he was told to sit on a bench in the yard till called, and his father insistently rang the bell Te adsssss.4rRGing that Miss Marchand could Soa no oHaa. he said, Please tell Miss Marchand it ia.John Miles and shah remain till sec heF..as@paa-u.s...
 After a cruel wait a little rustic an nounced her coming. He sprang up, advancing to meet her She had been crying "Ah," he said, pityingly, "you poor darling; then you did get that horrible letter." and despite her ef- forts to prevent it he took her in his arms and she sobbed on his shoulder.
 II was So-sO ashamed-JOhn, to think I was in such a hurry to ac- cept," and she hid her face, crying piteOusly. He petted her, kissing the tumbled hair. The blundering years fell away; they were young. He As- sured her that he was only waiting these five years to get enough courage to ask her and the imps of boys pre- cipitated the matter. The culprit is out of doors, sweetheart, what shall we do with him?'
 ."The Angel! Bring him l" de clared Chatty happily.
 So Benny was called in and pre- scented to Miss Marchand, his friend, the lady with whom he might live some day If they grew to like each other. Then he was taken into the yard and introduced to more pets than he had ever seen together. A wonderful cocker spaniel kittens, chickens and 8 real talking parrot.
 Say, pop" Benny whispered. long after he had been told to go to sleep and not utter another sound tilI morning, "dOn't you suppose we could move out there tomorrow. Sattidy- there's no school"
 What. and be hoSSed by a step mOther?" chuckled his father.
 LAW, shucks, pop, she ain't a step mother, she's nice enough to be a felIer's real mother if she had a chance. An ain't she pretty" Sigh ing contentedly, he dropped off to sleep. to dream of the happy days they were all to have in the Marchand cottage.

Term "cabaret" Is Old.

Cabaret" has come to be regarded as a recent addition to the English Ianguage-a word which, from its form and pronunciation. is evidently French.
 . AS a matter of fact, the term was originally of Gallic origin, but 1t is by no means modern, having been widely used in England during the Sixteenth century as a synonym for tavern. There was nothing musical about the cabaFets of this period, and the only amusement they afforded was that which the travellers fur nished.
 While used by. Bramhan in one ot his works published in 1855, it passed out of the language soon after that time and did not return until about the middle of the Eighteenth century At this time, however, its stay was brief and its popularity limited and not until the dancing craze struck thC world a few years ago, was it resur rected in its present sense.

Ha! Ha! April
 Fool
By LILY MOORE

 e. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
 "Say, pop, we've thought of more'n a dozen ways to April fool 'em Can you tell us some more?"
 "Eh, what's that? No, I'm busy, but you boys go slow now; don't do anything to hurt or annoy folks; re- member, Benny" warned Mir. Miles, without looking up to. see Wsiai ''ieS were up to. 1-~y-~ss
 He's busy; you sign his nantS won't care," declared hIs eight-yeSs,a old son, so Harold Brown, the co-con- spirator, wrote the letter and signed Mir. John Miles, as Benny directed.
 Mr. Miles was finally aroused to at tention by snatches of conversation :: Say, Ben, what'd you do if your pop brought you a step-mOther some day?"
 "Aw. I'd not stand it: I'd run away. No woman could boss me around like Skinny Smiths stepmother does him. I'd tell pop so, too" declared Benny largely.
 You an your pop must have an awful time here; everything you . want"
 "Y-e-s," hesitated Benny. He had been warned that day if he brought a dog into the house again his father would have to pay damages. Yes, mostly, but feiler cant do much but girl-baby play in this sort of place i; dasSent play the VIctrola only when the cross old hens"
 "Benjamin !" exclaimed his father ''are you speaking of the ladies across the hall? Have you forgotten how good they were when you were sick? ?"
 Mr. Miles sympathized with Benny as much as he dared and do a fathers judicial duty. So when the boys asked permission to go outdoors he granted It without asking where, merely say ing that Benny must be back prompt ly in an hour. So they posted their April fool letters.
 Two that were to cause cOnsterna- tiOn in two households were to Miss Charity Marchand, who lived at the edge of town in a beautiful cottage

surrounded on all sides by a stone wall covered with vines and tianked with rows of evergreens. The iron gates in front were screened so very few children ever saw inside her in- closure.
 She was destined to receive at least two letters on the first day of April. One signed by John Miles, asking her to marry him, the other simply said :: "Ha! ha! April fool" Each was de livered according to schedule.
 When the first arrived Miss Mar chand read 1t over and over, then opened a secret drawer in her desk and drew forth another letter signed John Miles, dated almost ten years earlier. Only two people knew that John Miles had proposed to Charity Marchand for the letter had been many years on its way. When first delivered at the Marchand home it was thrown on an old walnut secrc- tary and dropping behind the sliding top remained there till second hand furniture dealer found it and sent it to it's owner.
 All those years Charity thought her self tilted, and John, sure that he was tiOuted married another. The letter only reached her within the week and she made up her mind that no one should ever know.
 Now, however, she WAS Supremely happy. John was vindicated, she would write him at once, though she inl hn inh bo, proposal more like his first, which, was to his Darling Chatty," reciting his love. He asked her to meet him that evening at church as he would be too late to call for her. She did not go to church but waited for him to call. What. tangled web life was to he sure!
 She drew her writing materials to her, and in her sweet and modest way told him how the old letter had arrived, also his second proposal. She supposed he had forgotten her. but if he would come that evening they would talk things over and see if theN still cared for each other. as they once had. She would not risk it lo the mail, but called a messenger and sO0n her reply was in John Miles hand.
 "Any answerY' he asked mechani- calIy.
 No. sir, guess not; Miss Marchand didn't say sO," replied the boy.
 Miss Marchand!' Mir. Miles waved him away and opened the letter He read it over, spread the two dainty sheets on his desk, bending over them as if solving puzzle. Benny and Harold's conversation came to mind "Benny!" he called. His momentary rage was chased away by a happy smile-should Benny be chastised or canonized?
 What did you boys do with your April foolishness? Write any letters?"
 "A few" admitted Benny, search ing his fathers non-cOmmittal face. "Why, pop?"
 ITO Miss Marchand?' asked his father, with an effort smothering his desire to laugh like a boy, land who eIse?'
 That's all we signed your, name to 'cept the washwoman, tellin' her she'd lost our shirts, but I called her on the phone and told her April fool. Miss ATarchand knows by now that 1t was only ADEtl fool for she's got

The girls that live in the country have to wear high shoes to get through the snow and slush on the way to the train, but they can't afford to be seen in any thing but low, French heeled pumps in town. It isn't being done. They bring in the pumps in handbag with out their mothers knowing it-I bet and as soon as they take off their hats and coats off go the high shoes and on go the slippers.

MOUNTAINS FLOAT ON EARTH
Scientific Research Has Proved Fact Which Will Be Surprise to
 Many Readers.

Mountains float Cubic yard for cubic yard, mountains weigh less, not more, than the valleys. The mountains are held up by the lighter material of the earth'S crust flowing under them. This has been proved by researches conducted by the division of geOdesy of the coast and geOdetic survey
 It has been found that the earth's crust is about sixty miles in thickness and near that depth, probably below, the material of the earth is yielding to forces which act for long times
 The earth's crust floats on this yielding material. If the earth's crust were cut into blocks by vertical planes. with the base of each block at a depth of 60 miles below sea level, and the area of the bases of the blocks were the same and as large as 100 miles square, these blocks would weigh the same.
 There is no tendency for the mOun- tain masses to break down through the earth's crust, as they are not extra loads. They are like the portions of icebergs projecting out of water, which are held up by the ice which is below or in the water. The iceberg floats and so does the mountain.
