"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.

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! If you are using lard for frying and shortening, and wo prove to you that Cottoisno is purer, more healthful, more economical, what, should you do? SWITCH I 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 wa guarantee tha quality. Borides, it io never sold in bulk lika lard, but cornea .la sealed tin pails, and is not open to contamination. So 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.
