The church possessed a valuable bible, which was only used on Sundays, says a writer in the Cornhill Magazine, speak­ ing of an English country parish. Dur­ ing the week it was kept in a box which rather curiously formed the stand upon which the reader of the lessons stood. On one occasion, when this was being shown to a visitor, the remark was made that it did not seem very reverent for even a clergyman to tread upon the bible. "Pardon me, " the old verger replied; "In this church, sir, we take our stand upon the scriptures."

A well-known citizen of Waukegan ac­ cording to The Gazette, has discovered a sure means of ridding maple trees of the insects which threaten to destroy the handsome shade trees that line our walks and drives. He says that a stream of water from an ordinary gar­ den hose held as near the limb on which are the bugs as is possiple, and the stream properly directed, will sweep the pests to the ground, killing many by the fall and drowning the remainder. He is positive that this simple rem­ edy is an effective one, as he has dem­ onstrated it at his home. Many of his trees were infested by the pest and he discovered the means of saving them, treating a dozen trees thoroughly in a few hours.
