Many persons will be surprised to learn that the potato is used in France in the manufacture of imitation meerschaum pipes and "marble” billiard balls. After the potatoes are peeled they are kept for 36 hours in an eight per cent, solution of sulphuric acid. They are then dried and pressed hard enough for use in making pipes. Under strong pressure they become solid enough to be turned into billiard bails. Limit to German Citizenship. The London Mail mentions a fact that even a good many Germans do not know, viz., that the German emigrant keeps liis German nationality for only teh years; after that, unless he has registered himself at a German consulate or embassy in the country to which he has emigrated he automatically ceases to belong to the Fatherland.

Beans and Codfish. Pragmatism in its all-aroundness must consider pluralism: Monism must establish unity, otherwise it is a fail, ure. Pluralism may easily be satisfied with a small number. Pragmatism abjures absolute monism, and also absolute pluralism. Since monism is devoted to one, then pragmatism must be classed with pluralism. —Report of Lecture in Boston Transcript. Pleased with Mission Work. A prominent leader in the British parliament, R. W.

That he knows how to encourage and how to advise. How to show them the way out of many of the difficultiees that confront the student in college life. Parent and youth soon come to believe that president Winchester is a man into whose hands and under whose care it is safe to commit the young people. The profits of this book have been donated to Taylor University, through the kindness of the author, and have already reached a large sale, and have brought several hundred dollars to the institution. “The Victories of Wesley Castle” is a neatly cloth-bound sixteen mo., splendid print, and sells for one dollar, postpaid.

Mrs. Ella 'Mereness Thanks Her Many Kind Friends. Will you ailow me this method of expressing my gratitude to the people of Decatur and surrounding country, for their kindness and friendliness, shown Mr. Mereness and myself during our short sojourn with you? We returned here after losing our home and practically without means to settle and buy stock, etc., to stock our place. What did the business men of Decatur do? Refuse credit? No, indeed; and one and all extended the helping hand, gave me time and more than that, never even asked me to settle until convenient so to do, not knowing if I would succeed or not. But thanks to them, I will be able to settle in full in money. But my gratitude for their trust and faith in my honesty will never oease. I wish specially to speak of our departed brother W. H. Niblick, also C. A. Dugan, Keubler & Moltz, A. Vancamp, Holthouse Drug Co.,Shaffer j Bros., Noah Lock, Baker & Anderson,, Anna’ Winnes, Gay & Swick and the telephone girls. Many others I might mention, but these in particular as my dealings were daily almost; with them, and many times when the j clouds were darkest and but little hope of meeting obligations, their words of cheer and encouragement have kept me up, and I also wish to mention Oscar Fritzinger and wife, parties who bought my home. They , have been staunch friends and I ] thank them and hope the dear old home, “The Cross Farm,” may blossom and bloom and bring forth abundance to repay their efforts. Now, in leaving Decatur and my many friends I have only this to say: The majority of you have seen me grow up in your midst, have known my joys and sor-, rows and know that I love my home here, and my only reason for ever, leaving is to be near my children in my declining years. But my best wishes will remain with you one and all, and may prosperity and happiness ever be the lot of one and all in Decatur. Not being able to see you all I take the plan to say goodby and God bless you is my prayer. ELLA MERENESS. CARD OF THANKS. We desire in this manner to thank our many kind friends who so kindly assisted us during the hour of our affliction. Especially do we wish to thank the Rebecca lodge. Ed Brush wilier and family.

The Shortest Sermon. One of the shortest sermons on record is the one which Dean Swift preached before a charitable society. After announcing his text, “He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord,” the preacher simply said: “Now, my brethren, if you are satisfied with the security, down with the dust.” He then sat down, while the ushers took the collection. It was unusually large.—The Sunday Magazine. Temperamental Differences.
