Rain Good for Neu Suits

Cloth from which suits for men and
women are made, is invariably kept in
a moist condition when being made up
at the mills in order to give strength
to the wool and to prevent breakage
when 1t Is being woven. A Cry at
mosphere would mean many faults
in the piece. For this reason cloth
makers are warning the public that
rain occasionally will not hurt a new
outfit, but on the other hand will do
some suits lot Of good. One tailor
suggests ten minutes in a misting rain
as the best drink" for a suit, espe-
cially in the early days of its life.

lack the lightness Of touch that goes

And there Is the blighted soul who

The very fact that sober persons

Human Traits in Pigeons

Nighthawks and whippoorwilis work
chiefly at night, when most other birds
are Off duty, and at daybreak their
work is taken up by the swifts and
swallows, says the New York World.
These birds are provided with big
scoopnet mouths, and as they swing
through the air over wide areas Of
country they scoop up almost unbe-
lievable numbers of insects.
Homing pigeons probably are closer
to the human family than any other
form Of winged life. The birds have
remarkable intelligence.
They mate In pairs, and the female
Of each union has exercised her right
Of suffrage to the extent that the male
helps her in Matching out the eggs and
In caring for and feeding the young.

Peculiar Cup Unearfhed

Shells from George Hammond's field,
Damariscotta, part of the famous shell
heaps on Round Top, are being hauled
to make a surface for a roadway on
the Walker place at Gamage's Point,
says the Lewiston Journal. While
loading a truck with the shells, Caleb
Barstow found q curious implement
In perfect condition. 1t Is apparently
q cup. 1t Is pottery two and a quar-
ter inches across the top and three
inches long, perfectly conical in shape.
1t has no base; the bottom ending In
point as If the user stuck It in
the ground when he put 1t down. 1t
has exactly the shape Of the top Of a
wine glass with the stem broken Off.
The wall Is thick, but the cup is per-
fectly symmetrical. Marks on the
outside show the smoothing efforts of
the maker and the baked clay has frag-
ments Of Iron pyrites mixed with It.
Along with 1t were unearthed bits of
human bones and deers antlers.

 It was here that he employed the remnants of this gang, feared throughout the entire state of Louisi- ana. to portray the parts of convicts at the logging camp.
 They were the greatest types a director could have hoped for," de- clares McGowan, and they didn't have to act a bit'-they simply look ed their parts to perfection.

WHICH DAY IS THE
 CHRISTIAN SABBATH?

Evangelist F.. l.. Cardey having
 been called away for two weeks hal
 closed his lectures in the Lyceum
 theater on Sunday afternoons. and
 will publish his last two lectures
 through the New Britain newspapers
 The question raised at the beginning
 of this article is the lecture for yes. l terday.
 God has left a monument and sign
 of his work among men. When the earth came from the hand of the l Creator at the close of six days of creation, he established the seventh day of the week as the birthday of the earth and also as a memorial of his creative power. We read.--
 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made" Gen, 2:1.
 When Was the Sabbath Made?
 The Sabbath therefore antedates all institutions in the world, since it was established at the close of creations week. It was established by the Creator Himself, and was fixed in- stitution by His act and command, even before sin entered the world. It is fair, then, to believe that the sew enth Day Sabbath would have existed and would have been kept by loyal subjects had sin never entered our world,
 No other institution has been better known among all nations than the week of seven days. Every nation of antiquity recognized this cycle of time. Even the people living in Mexi- co, Central and South America, when the white man came here. were well acquainted with this institution. The movement of the moon about the earth. and the earth about the sun is governed by the week of seven days, of which the seventh is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God" Its antiquity alone does not bind its claims upon us, but with that is the express com- mand of God that the Sabbath is to br inS elEu ol io9diby bNLNptH ibiiif~ self and His people through all time.
 The Sabbath as Gods sign Of loyal ty for his people was made out of Q particular day--the Seventh Day. The institution and the day are insepar- able. Many teach and believe that 4 Sabbath institution is surely of God, but would make the institution and the day separate. Those who are 80 loudly asking for Sunday laws, point to the Sabbath institution in creation as the basis of their arguments. yet they entirely ignore the fact that the Sabbath institution was made out of the Seventh day of the week. or Sat urday, and not out of the first day of the week or Sunday. The institution and the day must stand together or fall together. There can be no middle ground. As an institution made out of the Seventh Day 1t is Gods mem- orial of His creative work.
 From the fiery summits of Mount Sinai He proclaimed this fact when giving the Sabbath commando
