A cough f| during a sermon may be due to a 1. | cold, but it may also imply boredom, q| disagreement with the speaker, or {| even a bad conscience. Most preach. ersers can readily distinguish be. 1| tween a throatal and a temperamen. q| tal affection. As for changing one‘s n | position in church, this can be done i| quite naturally, without stopping the , | sermon. It can be done in such a way t as to indicate impatience, but it may 1| also indicate a growing interest in . | the discourse. In the old days, when ; | preachers _ would illustrate â€" their y secondlys and thirdlys with pointed | . stories, the entire congregation would | | change over their legs and show signs | . of relaxation and sudden interest. ‘ A tew coughs during a sermon should not _ disturb the average j preacher, but an explosive sneeze | 4 might.

R L Coughing In Church But all smiths do not sit in their forges and await the farmer and his horses. Some of them have be. come itinerants, and carrying their equipment on a trailer they motor around the farms and shoe horses, repair plows and other implements in the farmyard. If they are lucky they may be able to find a spread. ing chestnut tree under which to do the job. _ Devonshire is still the home of many â€" picturesque smithys with thatched roofs, and their presence in a village of thatched houses is often only announced to the visitor by the musical rhythm of hammer upon anvil. _ Recently a rural Dev. onshire blacksmith was invited to fashion a highly ornate grille for the Prince of Wales. The trained blacksmith, however is something more than a mere shoer of horses. He can fashion ornamen. tal iron gates, fireplaces, door fittings, grilles and other things. Fancy iron. work has always been a feature of the Eng ish blacksmith‘s education under a seven years‘ apprenticeship system, and a great deal has been done in recent years to put this branch of art before the public. Re. cently the Rural Community Counâ€" cil of Essex prevented the shutting down of several forges by sending expert workers to instruct the local smiths in the finer aspect of blackâ€" smithing. Nearly every English gentleman‘s home is approached by gates, and there has been a great revival of decorative gatework of much delicacy and beauty. The smith is not the mighty man ’he was in Longfellow‘s day, but in the mass he is but a shadow of his former self. The automobile has almost driven the horse off the streets in the big cities at any rate, and the profession of blacksmith used to be synonymous with horses. Probably no trades in the world have lost so much to marchâ€"of time as that of the blacksmith and the harness maker.

Moreover this vapor must be mixed with oxygen and the liquid must give off vapor steadily. Once started, the fire heats up the oil, but the vaporiatzion â€" thus brought about soon reaches a maxâ€" imum, Cutting off the oxygen to smother flames is one way of exâ€" tinguishing an oil fire. _ Cooling the oil below the point at which vapors are given off and ignite is another. The System Employed In the English system the â€"spray is strong enough to reach the surâ€" fate of the Ail KWiunh.. _ 490 The new method of coping with fires of liquids comes from England. There it was developed. with such great success by a Manchester firm that American sprinkler â€" manufacâ€" turers and fire underwriters â€" could no longer ignore it. When it is more widely introduced carbon dioxide, carbon tetrachloride, foam _ and \chemicals may be relegated to posiâ€" tions of minor importance. Putting out an oil fire with water becomes a safe and sane proceeding when the nature of the blaze is conâ€" sidered. Oil and other inflammable and combustible liquids do not burn as such.

Yet at the recent annual meeting of the Naâ€" tional Fire Protection Association A. K. Brown advocated just that procedure. This does not mean thas an oil fire can be put out just by throwing pailfuls of water on it, but it does mean‘ that automatic sprinklâ€" ers with properly designed â€" nozzles can spray water on burning oil and extinguish flames.

This person genâ€" erally has a high note, and hangs on to it, and has no hesitation in sacrificing the sense and rhythm of a song to "tone."
