The unknown singer or A man visiting a. country town went to the local barber for a shave. The barber made several slips with his razor, and each time he would paste a small piece of paper over the cut to stop the bleeding. When the operation was over the victim handed the man half a crown. "Keep the change, barber," he said. . "It‘s worth half a crown to be shaved by so versatile an artist. Why, you‘re a barber, butcher, and paperhanager all in one." tions. _ They tried it several times, but never seemed able to make & success of those last few bars. Finâ€" ally, when they were almost willing to give up, the opera singer decided ho would try it just once more. He sang it marvelously. The â€" studio manager was in ecstacies. Then, before the recording operator had time to lift the point from the wax, he heard, forever engraved on the last grooves, "Thank God, that‘s over, I couldn‘t make a better one il I tried for years." So many records have been spoilâ€" ed by artists not waiting for the "All Clear" signal at the finish, that the recording operator is constantly on his guard against it One famous operatic star had great difficulty with the last bars on one of his selecâ€" Today any music, speech or sound acoustic (or "horn") recording of six or seven years ago. may be successfully recorded, even in the open air. But in spite of the expert knowledge gained in the last few years, it is still impossible to predict recording success in the case of a singer. The quality, or timâ€" bre, of the voice may sound quite different on the wax. The science of recording, to whatâ€" ever height of perfection it may be brought, will never be without its occasional humorous moments. In the final analysis the whole thing rests on the personal element involâ€" ved, and the very human nature of the work brings about many very amusing incidents. Records are made of successful shows at the theatres. Many of the London theatres have proved to be excellent studios. _ But in spite of the fact that theatre recording has become an accepted thing, it always seems strange to see famous theaâ€" trical stars singing away on the stage in an empty theatreâ€"not to crowded stails, but to a little black box on a pedestal. Electricity â€" has brought _ almost limitless possibilities into the field of recording outside the Studio. Animals at the Zoo, New Year‘s Evo at St. Paul‘s, Beatrice Harrison and her famous nightingales, the King‘s speech at some opening, the Trooping of the Colorsâ€"all these would have been unattainable by the of the orchestra, one at the piano, and one before the chorus. The studio manager vyery carefully adâ€" justs each one so as to get the propâ€" er volume of sound required to mix the principal mustcat components on the record. The record may be slightly too long or a few bars too short. _ That means another recording. Then, the visitor may go over to the.

Friction Magnetizes Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Furâ€" nished With Every Pattern BY ANNEBELLE WORTHINGTON What New Y Is Wearing Fish Demand Good Jesus shattered this complacency with one sentence, "Except a man be Lora .gain he cannot see the kingdom | of God," v. 3. As mere physical birth does not make one a real Canadian, Verse 5 refers to the Pharisces‘ reâ€" fusal to submit to John‘s baptism of repentance. Unrepentant, they are not fit for the Christian brotherhood. Just as the wind is known only by its efâ€" fects, said Jesus (v. 8). so the presâ€" ence of the Spirit is recognized by the changed character of a man. The perâ€" sistent incredulity of Nicodemus (v. 12) convinced Jesus that nothing was to be gained by continuing the conâ€" versation. John has now finished with Nicodemus, and dismisses him. He goes on with his discourse on God‘s Gift. J li ing up to the high ideals of Canaâ€" dian citizenship, neither did his Jewâ€" ish birth make Nicodemus a member of the new kingdom. A spiritual as well as a physical qualification was necessary,. To be a member of the kingdom of love and brotherhood, one had to be loving and brotherly. The Pharisees‘ religion was not love, but law. Jesus, in speaking of a new birth, borrowed his figure from the religious and political language of his day, A pagan, upon embracing the Jewish religion, was said to be "reâ€" torn" in the new faith. The same term was used in the mystery religions which flourished in Ephesus where Juhn was writing his Gospel. To be "Lorr again" is not to experience some magical change; it is to commit ourâ€" selves so unreservedly to the Jesus way of living that the spirit that was in him will be in us also, changing our characters and our attitudes. We shall become so different from our old selfâ€"considering selvesâ€"actually livâ€" ing a new lifeâ€"that we can be spoken of as having been "reâ€"born," "born from above." | II. aAn UNHEARDâ€"or conptrion, 3: 3â€"12. & Jesus never wasted his time on sham. With Nicodemus he went at once to the heart of things. Nicodemus and his associates were concerned aleut this new preacher‘s possible connection with the Messianic kingâ€" dom. Their own fitness for that ingâ€" dom was taken for granted. Were they not orthodox children of Abraâ€" ham? They connected Jesus with the kingdom because they saw external "signs." But the trith of his utterâ€" ances had not gripped them. He came to Jesus by night (v. 2) perhaps because he did not wish to compromise either himse‘f or his broâ€" ther Pharisees until he was sure of this new movement. He began with a aiplomatic, if somewhat patronizing, speech. He has been accused of cowâ€" ardice, but surely, unfairly. If it was by night that he came, at least he cameâ€"to learn for himself. It is tru» that he defended Josus without exâ€" pro=sing any personal interest in him, but he defended him. He was sat‘«â€" fied with his own religion, but he was openâ€"minded enough to seek further knowledge. Nicodemus, a member of the Sanâ€" hedrin, is taken as an example of that imperfect faith, He knew about Jesus. The tremendous influence and the perâ€" sonality of the young preacher had apâ€" pealed to him. He may have had hopes of persuading him to give up his revolutionary theories and assoâ€" ciate himself with the regularly organized channels of religion. He would be les: dangerous there. So the Roman Catholics thought about Franâ€" cis of Assisi. Nicodemus was not the "anxious enquirer." He came to disâ€" cover whether he could come to some understanding with this popular young preache which would keep the Pharisees still in their loved position of religious leadership,. ____ _ The slaughter of the animals was necessary because there is only sufâ€" ficient pasturage within the park to feed about 6,000 head of buffalo and also in order to maintain the quality of the stock, says the bulletin.

If our deeds are »vil, we shun the light because it shows up our true character. The man who has nothing to hide welcomes the investigation. He who avoids the light thereby proclaims that his deeds are evil. The Jews thought Messiah was comâ€" ing to punish the unbelievers. But i judgment is not the motive of the Christ‘s coming, it is the inevitable consequence, His coming compels men to take s‘des. The stand they take shows them up in their true colors. Buffalo Meat Feature of Many New Menus Verses 14â€"17 are probably reflccâ€" tions of the author rather than the wo:ds of Jesus. They discuss the very truths which Jesus suggested Nicoâ€" demus could not understand. Not for the select fewâ€"the Jewsâ€"but for all who accept it, is God‘s gift of salvaâ€" tion provided. The Son of Man, reâ€" jected by the Jews, will bring salvaâ€" tion through his sacrifice, vs. 4, 15. Forâ€"this express purpose did God send his "only begotten"â€"literally one who is like no other son, v. 6. Eternal life is for "whosoever believeth." "Beâ€" lieveth" here is not an intellectual assent to a creed. It is a personal loyalty and devotion to a person. To be "saved," to "have eternal life," and "to be like Jesus" means the same thing. | IV. now curist supces mEn, 3: 18-2l.‘ III. con‘s cirt ror aut, 3: 13â€"17.

The names of CorticeMIL, Belding, McCallum, Cheney _ and Skinner became known to all users of silk. at $5 each,. Speculators and farmers in _ Ponnsylvania bought _ $300,000 worth of mulberry trees in a single day, There was hardly a farmers home that did not have a grove of mulberry trees, Children were used in feeding the silkworms. The Long Island nurseryman who had made a killing sent an agent to France who paid $80,000 for a million trees. They reached the United States after the market had broken. In some localities a twig that would take root when planted sold for $1 and trees a year old were grabbed After selling supplies of mulberry trees to nurserymen in other localiâ€" ties, the Long Island man, having accumulated a stock Of many thousâ€" ands, spread the news that there was a shortage in mulberry trees and offered to buy all that wore offered at a half dollar each,. He bought few at that price, however, as the quotations began soaring, and wher the price reached a dollar ho began unloading. l Dr. Pascalls in 1830 wrote an article for the American Journal of 'Sclenve following closely on the ‘publicat!on of the manual prepared by Secretary Rush, which attracted wide attention and started a boom in the cultivation of mulbergy trees, | which were necessary to enable silkâ€" worms to grow and construct the cocoons that were needed if silk were to _ be _ manufactured. The whote country went wild on the silk quesâ€" tion, Speculation became rife and conditions were much like the Caliâ€" fornia gold rush and the Colorade gilver excitement., Churches took up the study of seriâ€"culture and many of them began growing silkworms in order to build new edifices or pay for old ones. One good deacon in New England, at a weekly prayer meeting, expressed gratification that the Lord, "sceing our great need for a church building, has kindly prepared a way for us to get it." After a fow years it was found that the labor cost of producing cocoons in the United States was too great to make the industry commercially profitable. ‘This information was not obtained, however, until a sharp nurseryman _ on Long Island had cleaned up a fortune, much of which he lost when the collapse came. W. B. Holland in the Miami Herâ€" ald gives an interesting survey of this everâ€"growing industry, He writes: Something more than a century ago the United States of America was considerably excited over the tre mendous profits believed to be posâ€" gible in raising silkworms and putâ€" ting them at their tasks of producâ€" ing cocoons from which silk could be spun. Congress discussed the subâ€" joct for some years, and then Richâ€" ard Rush, Secretary of the Treasury, was authorized to prepare a book telling how to grow and handle silk worms and make them valuable cltiâ€" zens.
