A NERVOUS WAIT.
r-
Weird Sensation When It. Ckwet
Smsm Totally Dark.
"I went to a Fifth avenue cbhreb last
Sunday night," said a man who I* good
once a week, "and quite unexpectedly
got a new aonestlon. The church was
brilliantly lighted, but something went
wrong with the electrical apparatus,
and alt of a sadden most of the lights
went out Midway In the bonding two
or threo bundles of bulbs continued to
sbed a sepulchral twilight, but the pul
pit was shrouded ip durkneas, and nerv
ous members of the congregation began
to fldgot.
"This condition of affairs lasted for
some minutes until the choir bad fin-
iabed an anthem. Then the preacher
arose and requested the people to re
main quietly seated for half a minute
in lofal darkness, when the church
would he fully illuminated again. With
the worda the few remaining lights
went cut, and for a space darkness like
that of a coal bole prevailed.
'It was the weirdest, most uncanny
waif I ever hud. Every man and wo
man of the 800 or 1,000 In that church
was as still as death almost. 1 sup
pose the darkness did not lust a minute,
but It seemed to me to be an boiir.
When tbe lights again leaped out there
was a sigh of relief from every person
In tbe eburvb. I guess they all felt as

There Is 'a vast .amount of horsehair
annually used in the United States tor
making and repairing violin, violon
cello nnd bass viol boVs. All of the
hair comes from Germany and Bus-
ala, In which countries the taila of
horses nre generally ullvwed to grow
much longer than here. The foreign
hair is also coarser in'texture and
tougher than that which grows on the
American horse, nnd these qualities
mnko the Imported nrtlde more valua
ble than tho domestic product.
There nro only two kinds of horse
hair suitable for mnking bows, and
they nre of white nnd block varieties.
The former ta used for violin hows,
and tlie latter, which la heavier and
stronger, is the best material foy tnuk-
tutbbows for cello and lines viols, lie-
cause it bites the larger strings better.
Die Imported hair Is put tip In banks
of tbirty-six inches long, .which Is live
or six Inches longer than the standard
violin liow, A bank la sufficient for
one violin bow, wbilo two banks nre re
quired,to hair a cello or boss viol bow.
'There are about one nnd a Unit ounces
of balr in a bank, which la worth from
20 to SO cents, according to tho quality
of the balr.—Philadelphia Record.
THE ART OF BOXING.
Flstls Combats Were Hlaktr Estesm-
•d In Ancient Times.
Pugilism, the practlco of boxing or
lighting with tbe data, wpaa manly art
and exercise highly esteemed among
the ancients. In those daya the lianda
of the pugilist were nrmed with the
ccstns, leather thongs loaded with
lead or iron. This form of athletic
sport waa at first only permitted to
treemon among tho Greeks, but grad
ually it waa taken up at a profession
and lost much of lta prestige.
Aa an Illustration of lta early use we
find in Virgil's fifth Aineld'tbe record
of a match between Dares, “with nim
ble feet aud' confident In youth,” and
Rnteilua, tha veteran champion, "strong
and weighty limbed,” when tbe com
batants^
Their arms uplift in air, their heads with-
draw
Back from tho blows, and. mingling hand
with hand,
Provoko ths conflict.
Pugilism lias been a typical English
•port from the days of King Alfred,
but Its golden age as d profession dates
from the accession of the bouse of
Hanover.—London Standard.
To use a homely illustration: ;
When you find yourself in tho wrong and tho right it (Minted out
to you, to 60 honest with yoursolf, what should you do? SWITCH!

Nature's Gift from Ihe Sunny South
Now, lard, at you know, la made from hog fat It- may cr may
not bo pure, Cottoisno io always pure, because it contains nothing but
refined vegetable oil aud choice beef suet. It io always uniform, and

much for purity and haaithfulhasa
At to economy—Qottolene la richer than lard. K requires, therefore,
but two-thirds tha quantity to ft sour, better results. This meant economy.
Why not do justice to your stomach and give it a digestible product
rather than an indigestible one? Your grocer wiU start you right with
