The program for the Throe Hour services on Good Friday has been announced by the Decatur Minis--terial Association. The services will be held at the Zion Reformed 1 with the Protestant churches and the pastors participating It is I edifying to turn from worldly as-1 fair* on that sacred day and medl-1 tale on the suffering and death of ! Jesus Christ. For several year* ; there ha* been a city-wide observance of (l-vod Friday and again this year business will cease during the Three Hour* when the world commemorates the death of Christ on the cross. A young man. not wishing to do anything that was uot agreeable to the taws us etfquette. sent the following question to the editor of a Kansas paper: “Please tell me when and where it la the correct time for a gentleman to lift or rw move his hat?" And here is the reply he received: "Without consulting authorities of etiquette — ' tn fact, giving it to you offhand, so to speak--we would say that at the following time* and on the following occasions respectively, that the hat should be removed or lifted as circumstance* indicate: When moppiug the brow, when taking a bath, when eat fug. when going to bed. when taking up a collection, when having th* hair trimmed, when being shampooed. I when standing on the head."— Wall Street Journal.

People "out in the stick*" arc naturally pleased by the statement ot an editor of the New York Teraid Tribune th.i% thinking m the metropolis la not up to the national average. By implication, small town and country people must rate, as thinkers, above the average. It is probably true, a* the critic say* that “’.here are fewer and fewer crack-pots, the farther you get iuto the country." The chief fault and misfortune of a great city is that so many resident* seem to fancy themselves as intelligent aud well-informed just because there are intelligence and information available all around them Hut millions make v-ry little use of su<h opportunities, hardly ever going to a good play, concert or lecture. They may pick up a cheap and superfit lai patter, but do little to cultivate their Intelligence and learn things really valuable. In th* smaller city people are more likely to avail themselves of what tacilitir* they have tor self improvement . a- - — ■ Answers To Test j Questions I Below are the answer* to th* | Test Question* printed on Pag* Two 1 Weaving. 3.
