On last Friday night, Novem
ber 4th, about 9 o’clock, the
death angel entered the Univer
sity hospital and bore away thj
spirit of Mr. John C. Huff back
lo the God who gave it. John
was sick only two weeks
the Lord saw lit to remove him
from us. On Friday,
28th, he was carried to Augusta
for surgical treatment, where he
gradually grew worse until ll)e
end. Doctors, loved ones and
friends did all they could to re
store him to health, but all in
vain. The Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away, blessed be
His name
Weep not, dear brothers and
sisters, he has paid the debt we
will all have to pay. Prepare to
meet him in that place where the
Saviour has gone to prepare for
all those that lose and obey His
commands, for this parting is not

: Marriage Business
Taught in Australia
Adelaide, Australia.—A school for
scientific training of prospective
wives has opened here under gov
If,,-.-ament Stipe rvlslon.
■ Pupils ale taught t cooking, house
keeping and the business side of a
wife’s Job. Not only that, but they
are taught how to woo, how to be
come betrothed, how to get married
and "how to be happy, though mar
ried."
It Is claimed at the school that
marriage Is the greatest business
in a woman’s life and that It must
be faced as a business transaction;
that brides must be trained on a
syllabus as unsentimental as the
rules of accountancy.

to a storm which began January 8,

furred In Ireland within the memory

SEEK MANGER WHERE
CHRIST WAS BORN
Jerusalem Relic Now Re*
vered May Be Wrong.
London. , Excavations , started after
an accidental discovery are expected to
reveal the manger tn which Christ
was born.
A rock-hewn grotto at the Church
of the Nativity at Bethlehem has been
shown for centuries as the manger,
hut the new excavations seem to show
hat tradition has been mistaken the
Bethlehem correspondent of the Sun
day Express says.
1 hough It is agreed that the Church
of the Nativity, the oldest Christian
building lu the world stands on the
site of the nn where Mary and Joseph
sought shelter, not all authorities be
“eve the manger now venerated to be
' >»f C ° f la
The rh Church , of the Nativity actually
ts a series of monasteries and churches
of three sects -Greeks, Latins and Ar
mentans under one room. Below the
transept, reached by a circular stair
case, Is the Grotto, or Chapel of Na
tivity.
The pavement in the underground
Chapel of Nativity was broken. After
discussion between the three sects It
was arranged that the public works
department of the government should
replace the flagstones.
When the workmen removed the old
stones and started digging, they were
surprised to find the remains of some
former building.
The antiquities department tn Jeru
salem was called in, and walls, pillars,
doors and stairs were revealed. Gov
ernment archeologists are now sinking
shafts at three places.
It is thought by some experts that
the remains found are part of the orig
inal church erected by Constantine the
Great, the first Christian emperor, in
the year 880. These parts, apparent
ly, were covered by Justinian, who
made alterations tvvo centuries later.
A new pavement has been found
and a subterranean vaulted roof.
Through this massive roof Is being
sunk a shaft Into what may be the
actual manger, the stable portion of
the Inn where Mary nnd Joseph sought
shelter after they had been refused
admission to the inn "because there
was no room for them.”
i Underground Fortress
Holds England’s Gold
London.—A fortress In which Eng
land’s gold reserves will be housed.
containing safes Impregnable to as
sault, bombardment, dynamite and
flood for 500 years, Is being built un
dor the streets of London.
The safes are being built by the
Bank of England and are costing $2,-
500 , 000 . The language of ttie conserv
ative official reports describes them as
“artillery proof."
The safes will probably be finished
ln three years. They consist of three
sections, one of which is already fin
ished and another under way. The
strong room rests ou a three-foot bed
of concrete, reinforced with hardened
steel rods. Over this a layer of weld
ed steel Is spread. From this the sides
and ends are carried up to form a gl
gantlc box into which the safes and
vaults are built.
The only approach is from above,
for no amount of tunneling and blast
Ing would grant an entrance below,
The entrance to the vaults themselves
Is guarded by a great safe door
weighlng 25 tons and having a combi
nation code. The combination Is dl
viiled, and no one person knows the
whole of it.
The vaults are so constructed as to
be safe from flood waters and raging
tires. Adequate precautions have been
taken against hold-ups through an
elaborate system of electric alarms.
Village Smithy Now
Operates Welding Shop
Mason City, Mich.—Jack Fowler,
who has not shod a horse ln 11 years,
is still Mason's village blacksmith.
With the passing of horses, Fowler
declares, he was forced to adapt his
shop for modern day needs. He now
operates a welding establishment, but
lp one corner he has an anvil, forge,
and steel vise stored, which, he says,
“are to remind him of olden days.”
Fowler came to Michigan 00 years
ago and began the blacksmith trade
when eighteen years old ln a shack
which was situated on what ls now
the cite of the Ingham county Jail
here. At that time, he said, there
were seven other blacksmiths In

Captain Dingle, who writes all those
stories of the sea, lives ln England.
He went ashore tn some boat he
owned, and lost not only the craft it
self, but a large snake skin, wblcb
he had wrapped around the lower part
of his mast. As be and John Oliver
La Goree had a common Interest. In
that both knew a lot concerning An
dros Island, Captain Dingle wrote Doc
tor La Gorce frequently. One letter
told of his loss and aski-d If anybody
had any loose boa constrictor skins.
Tt happened that on ont of tils many
trips to distant placet; Doctor La
Gorce had picked up that very article.
He never had used !t much as there
didn’t appear to be any real place for
It around the house, and he didn’t
have a boat. But tt was a swell snake
skin and be shipped tt to Captain
Dingle.
*
Haying performed this kindly act,
John La Gorce got to worrying a little.
After alt, he had been the possessor of
that snake skin for several years and
perhaps tt was a bit rusty. He didn’t
want to become known as a maa, wiip.
would send a- frUnd
epidermis of a serpent. Perhaps he
should first have gent It to the clean
er and presser, or had It straonlzed. ft
got so on bis mind that he wrote to
several boa constrictor dealers tn va
rious parts of the world, told them
his story and gave them Captain
Dingle’s address. Then be felt free to
turn his attention to other matters,
Within a reasonable time. Doctor La
Gorce received another message from
Captain Dingle, It didn’t even con
tatn ten words, reading merely:
“Have quit drinking. House Is full
of snakes.”
