THE "WIN ONE- CLASS.
The young people's organized class

an enjoyable evening Thursday at
the home of their teacher, A. J.
Boehmer, the occasion being one of
the regular monthly business meet
ings. The young People are en
thusiastic over the organized move
ment in Sunday school work and
are making this enthusiasm felt
throughout the Sunday school. This
One by One" (Won by One) meth
od has resulted la a large Increase
in the young people's department,
seven new members being admitted
to full membership at the last meet
ing. After the adjournment of the bus
iness session the young people; spent
an hour of frolic in games, music and
the best event of all, the delicious
refreshments, served, by the hostess,
Airs. Boehmer, and her daughter.
The guests present were: Misses
Eula Forsyth, Joyce Craig, Kather-
ine Kay, Venus Thomas, Alta Davis,
Florence Shinn, Etta Miller, Ange

The Ham Fair at Paris.
A feature of Parisian life is the ham
fair which Is held on the Boulevard
Richard Le Nolr. The name of this
fair is wholly misleading, for as fur
as 1 have ever seen hams are the very
last thing any one ever buys there.
Old brass and copper curios, quaint
Jewelry, rare china, ' lace, tapestries
and books are what most people go
out to spek, and a sight not to be euslly
forgotten is the long, wide boulevard
lined with ramshackle stalls laden
with every possible kind of lumber and
presided over by the most rapacious
of brocanteurs. Out of piles of value
less lumber Americans and English
diligently seek for their pet kind of
curios, and there- Is not an artist in
Paris who cannot point to some bit
of furniture In his or her studio and
sny with pride. "I got that for 5 francs
at the ham fair." No one ever pays
more than C francs, I notice, but, alas,
every year these five franc bargains
are becoming more' rare, und even as
housekeeping In Paris grows more and
more costly so does the furnishing of
one's house to keep. London Queen.
Comul King David.
This amusing anecdote of Lamarttne
Is related' by the Baroness Bonde in
her volume of letters. Shortly after
the revolution of February be wrote
on the blunk leaves of bis porketbook
the names of bis proteges and sent the
list to be provided witb places Imme
diately. Previously, however. It seems,
he bad scribbled "David" on the page,
and tbe "head of tbe cubiDot appointed
the said David consul at Bremen. The
postulant, however, never came for
ward, and. though tbe poet did not like
being disturbed. M. Heizel was oblig
ed to ask who wus tbe David on bis
list.
"Be wbo danced before the ark,"
was tbe auswer.
"Ob. dear! i have gazetted blm to
Bremen !"
"How very singular! I meant him
for a subject for medltatioo. not for
nomination. But you can cancel It."
Tbe moniteur registered tbe change,
but few knew that tbe last consul ap
pointed to Bremeu was King David!
Language of Switzerland.
It is a curious fact that the people
most celebrated for love of country
should In. a manner be without a lan
guage that Is, a mother tongue.- The
Swiss have three official languages
German. French and Italian. About
three-fourths of tbe population of the
mountain confederation speak Ger
man, while tbe remainder divide four
other languages among them, chiefly
French and Italian, these languages
being found, as a rule, in districts In
close proximity to the countries where
in those languages are tbe principal
tongue. In Switzerland documents and
notices are printed in both the French
and German languages. In tbe nation
al assembly members deliver their
speeches in either French or German,
for nearly all members understand
both tongues. Tbe decrees and procla
mations of tbe president are translated
by an official interpreter and furnished
to tbe press In botb languages. New
York Press.
Her Fault

The Spirit of Liberty.
It was lu the town that modern de
mocracy had its rise. Despite all the
efforts of the kings and barons to pre
vent it. the spirit of liberty began to
assert Itself in tbe larger towns in tbe
shape of tbe charters which guarantee
to the people certain commercial and
political" rights rights whicE. once ob
tained, were never to be surrendered.
Before tbe middle of the eleveuth cen
tury there were many of these "char
tered" towns which possessed the
right of electing their own magis
trates, sheriffs and judges and regulat
ing their own taxes. Tbe wretched serfs
from tbe country were welcomed by
the townspeople and aided to larger
freedom. These free towns were first
known In Spain, from which country
they slowly spread over Europe. The
burgesses naturally offered protection
and freedom to all who would flee to
them from tbe feudal estates, and thus
slowly, but surely, tbe good work went
on until the ancient despotisms were
destroyed. Arena.
Reptiles That Walk Erect.
Lizards of several sorts can walk
and run easily on their hind legs. Tbe
Australian water lizard, which is three
or four feet In length, keeps quite
erect when traversing long distances
on land. It is found in tbe neighbor
hood of river banks and passes much
of Its time In shallow water.
The frilled lizard of Queensland alBo
travels on its hind legs on level ground,
keeping tbe frill folded when runulng.
When attacked it expands this fold of
skin, which stands out like a ruff at
right angles round the neck, giving it
a most formidable aspect, so that dogs
that attack and kill larger lizards will
often retreat before a frilled lizard at
bay.
There is also a tree lizard in Austra
lia that moves in a similar way. All
these species walk on all fours when
merely moving about or going short
distances.
The Bride's Troubles.
It was tbe servant's day out and
the young bride was doing ber best to
buriy along the dluper she was trying
to cook. The husband, tired of walv
ing, bustled into tbe kitchen and said
Impatiently:
"You know, we'll be late for the the

"Well." sighed tbe bride. "I can't
tell what's tbe matter, but these cof
fee grains simply won't boll soft, and
as for tbe eggs, they've been boiling
at least two hours, and they're still as
bard as ever." (

Clyde Fitch's Joke.
"Clyde Fitch was an Indefatigable
worker," said an actor wbo bus played
in many of the Fitch comedies "When
he had a play on tbe stocks be would
labor over It day and uigbt. often
scarcely pausing for his meals and
getting very little sleep; consequent
ly his health suffered. He would work
until on the verge of a nervous break
down, and then his physician would
step in and force him to knock off.
"During one of these periods of en
forced Idleness he was louuglng in tbe
Players club one day when Harry B.
Smith, the prolific comic opera libret

"'What are you doing nowT asked

His Athletio Neighbor.
A young man Inmate of a boarding
house had been disturbed night after
night by the boarder in the next room
doing things witb a punching bag he'd
rigged up In the room some way. At
breakfast each morning tbe young man
would look over the crowd and won
der who the bag puncher might be.
but there was no one In sight but a
bunch of women and eight or ten men
with narrow chests and retreating
chins. One night be made up bis mind
to knock on tbe bag punching room
er's door and aBk him to put over bis
exercise until daylight when all the
world's awake. The man might be
small enough to bulldoze even with all
his athletics. The door opened and
there, clad In a.tlght fitting red Jersey,
was a robust, buxom woman of per
haps thirty summers.
"And what did you say to berr the
young man was asked.
"I was so startled," replied be, "that
I asked what afterward seemed to mo
the most natural request I could have
made. I asked ber if she'd lend me

- The Persistency of Colds.
Why is It that we are so heavily
subject to colds? Otber epidemic dis
easesmeasles, typhoid, scarlet fever,
diphtheria may get hold on us once
and' there is an end; it is not usual to
bave any of them twice. We brew In
our blood Immunity. Tbe poison of tbe
dlBease evokes in us Its proper anti
dote. Our blood cells make a sort of
natural antitoxin and keep It in stock,
so that we are henceforth protected
against the disease. A well vaccinated
nurse, for example, works with safety
In a smallpox hospital, where the very
air Is Infective, but ber blood Is so
changed by vaccination that tbe small
pox cannot affect 'ber. - By acarlet fe
ver, again, we are, as it were, vacci
nated against scarlet fever. Tbe reac
tion of our blood against the disease
Immunizes us. No such result follows
Influenza or a common cold. We brew
nettling that U permaaent We are
Just as susceptible to a later invaslen
as we were to the invasion that is J list
