REV. SMITH IN TENNKSSEEE.
Writes About the Country and Ui
Wtrk He is Iking.
Winchester, Twin., Oct. 14, 191A
To ( >ur Friends in Sherman : :
Sims* we cannot write a personal
letter, to all of our friends, we ask our
old friend, the Sherman Jleoioerat, to
publish a card for us.
We reached Tennessee alwait six
weeks ago and have enjoyed Jus*,
uhout every minute of the time. 1 am
now in my eighth meeting since I
commenced tin* first of July. The last
four have'been In Tennessee, and I
have steadily improved in health all
the time. The fact Is I believe 1 feel
stronger than 1 have for several years.
Our whole family has been in the
middle part of the state, near to
Nashville, for about a month, and
we liave been most of the time In the
home of my brother. <1. Dallas Smith,
at Murfreesboro. Here we had the
privilege of visiting the field where
was fought one of the principal battles
of the civil The remains of the
breastworks are high upon the east
hank of Stones river. commanding
the bridge. The National Cemetery Is
probably a mile beyond the. river. We
visited this nest. It Is a beautiful
.place, hut as one looks upon the six
thousand headstones, where llq six
thousand federal soldiers and thinks
•of the great number that must have
fallen upon the other side also, it
makes ope want to join “The Peace
Party" with William Jennings Bryan
and throw his hat into the air and
shout and work for the re-election of
Woodrow Wilson.
I am now in a meeting at Winches-
ter. Tennessee. Have been here only
a few days, but will probably remain
for about ten days yet. The meeting
Is beginning well and 1 hope to have
a good one. We trust to l<e cement
berecl by our friends in their prayers.
We have all enjoyed one visit to
Tennessee, hut as the time draws near
for us to return, though we feel reluc-
tant to leave these Interesting scenes,
hills, rocks and dear rushing streams,
we feel a thrill of joy ns we think of
reaching the good old town of Sher-
man and of the good frlpnds we will
meet on comine home. We have found
no place we like better than Sherman
and are of the opinion we will not.
We are not far from Sewanee, Mont-
enele. Chattanooga, -all traces of In-
terest and If we arc so fortunate jjs^bi
have the wherewith, we may visit
these places liefore our return.
All are well and Join Irt sending
very beat wishes to all of our friends.

Providing adequate education for
young women of India is oue of the
prtnci|ial tasks before the (Christian
church in that country today, accord-
ing to an opinion recently expressed
liefore the Northern Minnesota con-
ference of the Methodist Eplswipal
church by Miss Flora Robinson, head
of the Thoburn College for Women
at Lucknow, India. Miss Robinson is
daughter of Bishop J. W. Robinson
of luiiia and has been a resident of
that country for six years. She said
that even among women of the highest
caste, culture was at a premium.
The barriers, however, are failing,
and during the last ten years notable
advance has bw*n made, the custom of
sending their daughters to the Chris-
tian colleges spreading more and more
among Mohammwlau and Buddhist
aristocrats.

useful aspects, New York University
Is this year establishing a course for
the laymen showing the practical value
of beauty aud a knowledge of the
principles in the field of fashion ami
home decoration. The course will he
held lu the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. and the application of artistic
principles to the matters of everyday
life will be based on a study of mu-
seum originals in furniture, textiles,
dress, rugs, mosaics, tiles, pottery aud
jewelry. Planning ensemble designs

selection of harmonious color schemes,
will be a feature of tbe course.
With the o|ieniiig Of the schools

Province, which up to this day have
been partly bilingual. There were
120 bilingual French schools, til Ger-
man ones, and 111 Polish ones, with
an aggregate number of l(S,72t) pupils,
to whom instruction was given partly
hi English and (lartly iu the ances-
tral tongue of their families. This
Mnnltulta school law, now coming in
(ffect, Is much more drastic than the
Ontario law, which allows a limited
use of French—or any other ances-
tral tongue—for Instruction pueposes
In the first two forms. In IxKIt

French and tbe English elements,

as to threaten the loyalty of French
Canadians to the Empire, uml to
great extent, preventing the enlist

French population of Manitoba will

BROOK MADE SWEET MUSIC
Traveler Telle of Seductive Sound*
Produced by What Are Known
as Water Belle.
When you are traveling In unsettled
regions and camping on the trull,
writes a Companion reader, one at
least of the saddle and pack animals
that you turn loose to grase wears a
bell, so thut you can find them more
easily when you want them.
At the camp in northern Minnesota
I thought I heard the bell of a “shag-
anuppe” (Indian pony), and followed
the sound more thuu half a mile with-
out finding any track.
When halfway back to camp I heard
the bell again, and, taking the bearing
accurately, I followed a compass line
In the direction of the sound. 1 went
through brush and gladeTor about a
quarter of a mile until I came to a
tiny waterfall. I could still hear the
sound of the bell, but rather faintly,
through the splash of the falling wa-
ter.
There were gong-shaped bubbles,
some of them four Inches In diameter,
floating on the water below the fall,
and the water came over the fall In a
divided stream; some of it dripped
from the ends of twigs.
The charm of the brook’s muale beld
me there for some time enjoying that
delicious drip! dripl drip I and the
clear, soft ting 1 ting I ting 1 That still
night in the tent I heard the silver
bell-like tone again. What was the
source of the ringing? 1 have found
an explanation thut seems to me to flt.
Have you ever been hammering at
something and when you struck a cer-
tain blow tyuve yon heard a ringing
from a pan or barrel near by that you
had not touched? Or, In blowing a
horn, or even In shouting, have you
not heard the answering ring of soma
sonorous vessel set In vibrutlon by the
horn or the voice?
Well, there you are. The dripping
water sets those bell-shaped bubbles In
vibration. The original sound of the
drop Is re-enforced, and away it goes
through the air, as If on a witch broom,
to pluy its mysterious pranks on some
unsuspecting traveler.
Since that time I have often listened
for water bells when camped near a
brook, and usually with success when
the air was still and the water in con-
dition to form large bubbles.—Youth's
Companion.

NO POSSIBILITY OF ERROR
Truck Counter Does Its Work Auto-
matically and It la 8ald Cannot
Make a Mistake.
An ingenious machine designed to
automatically count truck loads of
merchandise Is invented. It Is claimed
that where any considerable amount
of shipping Is belug done, the truck
couuter will frequently save Its cost
In a single day through the elimina-
tion of errors that Invariably creep
la where tbe usual method Is em-
ployed. ,
The counter Is so made that when
the truck rolls on to the apron, the
weight of the truck load presses the
apron down, the truck wheels move
the lever forward, aud the load Is
tallied. As the trip lever moves for-
ward, It also goes down, aud with
It the narrow apron; therefore the
platform becomes so nearly level that
no resistance is offered to the
trucker. )
As the truck passes off of the ma-
chine the latter is instantly set for
the next load. The machine cannot be
tripped by the weight of the men push-
ing the truck or by returning with
either an empty or a loaded truck.—

Persian Easy to Learn.
A new Interest In Persia which the
war has awakened may tempt some of
us to become acquainted with the lan-
guage of the country. We need not be
afrubl of making the attempt, for Per-
sian shares with English the reputa-
tion of being a singularly easy lan-
guage to learn, the chief trouble being
that it is written In the Arabic char-
acters." t
It had, however, at one time three
numbers and eight cases, and the
Avesta, the chief book of the Zcroas-
trluns, is only to be understood by the
ripe scholar. But modern Persian has
no cases, no declensions and no gen-
ders, and may therefore, be mastered
without tears and w’lthout the appli-
cation of wret towels to the head.

Summer's 8ure Sign.
•‘There are various ways by which
we can tell with more or less certain-
ty when summer has come,’’ said
Mr. MacFlickerton. “You can tell
in some degree by the weather and
the temperature. You can tell in
some measure by the clothes you see
people wearing and by the advertise-
ments of summer resorts In the news-
papers. In seasons such as the pres-
ent you can even tell something about
when It ought to be here by consult?
lag tbe almanac. But, after all, in any
season, the ono sure sign that summer
has actually come is found in that one,
single, solitary fly that comes in to
wuke you up ahead of time in the
morning.”
