Three geese of the Toulouse breed which belong to Jeff Sarvey are mak ing a record for themselves which makes Jeff smile every time he thinks of it. The geese were hatch ed in July 1921, and they began lay ing about February 1st this year, since which time they have laid 40 eggs, 27 of which are now set for hatching. But the big thing about the geese is the size of their eggs; all of them are large but a couple weeks ago one of the geese laid an egg that measured eleven inches long circumference, by eight inches short circumference.

The same bird repeated that performance, and the egg weighed one half pound. The union evangelistic meetings in the Presbyterian Church of Clarion have been attended by a rising tide of interest during the past week and profound impression has been made upon many hearts and lives. The preaching of Dr Orr is strikingly plain and eminently practical and does not fail to reach the minds of the people, while its splendid gospel message touches the heart and in spires to higher motives and loftier purposes. The wonderfully forceful preaching been marvelously aug mented in power by the singing of the gospel under the direction of Prof. Houtz.

He is enthusiastic and inspiring, and his everlasting smile, which doesn't come off, keeps everybody else smiling. His direction of the music is wonderfully effective -and adds much to the interest of the meetings. The meetings are being at tended by from five to eight hundred every evening--the largest attendance being last Sunday evening when every possible seat was filled and many were standing in parts of the church. Let every person rally to the support of the meetings now. Ne one overlook the that the benefit picture for the M.

The members of Mingo Lodge, No, 505, showed their fraternal spirit by providing the ice cream for the social hour. A striking instance was reported in last week's Parker Phoenix: When a little girl Katherine McGregor, now Mrs. W. A. Shidemantle, of Parker Landing, accidentally ran a knit ting needle into the socket of her right eye.

The needle was extracted at the time and it was thought that everything was all right. As time went by she began to suffer great pain in her eye and the best eye specialists known were consulted and some of them treated the eye, but without any permanent help. Recent ly her case came under the observa tion of Dr. C. S.

Imbrie, of Butler, who, after treatment X-ray examination, removed a piece of the knitting needle about one inch from the socket of the eye where had remained 39. years and had been the cause of untold suffering and the expenditure of thousands of dollars. It was a happy deliverance for Mrs. Shidemantle. District Forester Zerby, of Clarion has named two additional forest fire wardens in the Shippenville district.

They are Clifford C. Linn and G. IA Williams. The latter will organize a crew to respond promptly to all forest fire calls. Both new wardens will serve in the community in which they live.

According to District For ester Zerby, that region has suffered from many forest fires, most of them caused by railroads passing through forested land near the town. A. N. Wilson, of Kittanning, has been ap pointed an inspector in charge of the fire wardens in Armstrong and Butler counties. Herry Truman, of Sigel has been named an inspector in Jefferson, and the southern parts of Elk and Forest counties.

He will have charge of the fire tower, the fire wardens and the fire bosses In that neighborkood. Sherman Seanor, of has been employed as watchman on the Hays Lot fire tower A STARTLING PROPOSITION Every member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the world will have a chance to show what quality of stuff they are made of in the next week--April 9th to April 16. The Bishops and leaders of the Church ask every member to tithe their income for one week and present the tithe at the church on Easter morning, April 16th. It is argued that if every member of that denomination will pay one-tenth of their income for that week into the church treasury on April 16th, one of the great est things that ever happened in the history of the church will go down into history. We wonder it every member of the Clarion church will accept this proposition and will carefully lay away one-tenth of their income for the week April 9 to 16? Wouldn't it be fine if every member would do that, and be present with the on Easter Sunday morning moneys a real offering? Let everybody join in this laud able enterprise- not simply for the church, but to help heal the many and great hurts of the world.

OPENED WORLD OF ANCIENTS Frenchman in Year 1822 Succeeded In Deciphering Hieroglyphics on Egyptian Monuments. As there is always a centennial in prospect, we are now about to reach that of Champollion's deciphering of Egyptian writing. The announcement of this discovery was, in fact, made in 1822. Champollion had spent more than twenty years trying to plumb the secrets of hieroglyphics. He finally found it with the discovery of an inscription in Greek carved in hieroglyphic characters.

The word that appeared most often in Greek was the name of Ptolemy, to whom the stone had been raised. Champollion, therefore, searched for the hieroglyphics which corresponded with this word. What signs had the value of and In addition to superhuman patience, a genius for divination was called for. First light came from the letter by comparison with certain signs appearing on a monument to Cleopatra. But this was only one step forward, as Egyptian writing was composed of alphabetical characters, syllabic signs and ideographic as well as determinative symbols.

Thus it is easy to imagine the time required before Champollion opened the world of the ancients to the researches of science--a world which is still more or less of an enigma to the -From Le Petit Parisien, Paris. WAVE OF RELIGIOUS FERVOR "Revival" Along the East Coast of England Is Most Remarkable of Recent Years. A religious "revival" has commenced among the fisher people on the east coast, from Grimsby to John o' Groats, says the Manchester Guardian. It is difficult to say where the revival originated, but its effects are most noticeable in the villages on the south of the Moray Firth and the Aberdeenshire coast north of Aberdeen. Observers say the revival is much more extensive than that led in Wales in 1904-5 by Evan Roberts.

Prayer meetings, lasting many hours, are held nightly, the mission halls generally being full. The kinemas and public houses are in consequence nearly empty, and some of the former have had to close down. Strangers and fellow villagers are systematically stopped in the streets and asked if they have been saved. Even motorists in some villages are held up by the more fervent. One serious aspect of the revival is its effect on the minds of the people.

Already six persons, mostly young men and women, have been removed to hospitals and institutions for the insane, and in the event of the revival continuing much longer this number may, it is feared, swell. Term "Cabaret" Is Old. "Cabaret" has come to be regarded as a recent addition to the English language--a word which, from its form and pronunciation, is evidently French. As a matter of fact, the term was originally of Gallic origin, but it is by no means modern, having been widely used in England during the Sixteenth century as a synonym for tavern. There was nothing musical about the cabarets of this period, and the only amusement they afforded was that which the travelers furnished.

While used by Bramhall in one of his works published in 1085, it passed out of the language soon after that time and did not return until about the middle of the Eighteenth century. At this time, however, Its stay was brief and its popularity limited and, not until the dancing craze struck the world a few years ago, was it resurrected in its present sense. Not as Bad as It Seemed. The fierce-looking visitor from Belgium entered the toy shop, and gazed frigidly at the assistant, who hurried to her side. "I wants," she said with a strong accent, "ze naked Edward." The poor man blushed and thought wildly of his wife.

"Er--um, would you mind saying that again?" "Ze naked Edward," persisted the customer. "You have them in ze window." "Great Bath buns," gasped the assistant. "We'll have the police here in a minute! Come outside and show me." Once outside she pointed excitedly. "Zere you have him--what you call dy bare." Tit-Bits. Chinese Bezique.

Chinese bezique is booming in the London clubs just now. Chinese bezique is a development of the old game of bezique. It is played with six packs of 32 cards each. The scoring runs into high figures. Bezique and double bezique score as at the old game, 400 and 500, respectively.

But it is possible to get treble bezique, which is worth 1,500 points, and quadruple beziqne, which counts 4,500. Four aces of trumps score 1,000 points, and the winner of the last trick of the game gets 250 points. Americans Consume Much Milk. The average American today is 2 great milk drinker and consumes twice as much as former generations, according to the Department of Agriculture. The consumption of milk last year was estimated at 44 gallons for each person, not including that used in ice cream, cheese and butter.

"HELLO" BARRED IN BOSTON According to Superintendent of Schools Burke the Word Is Both Undignified and Slovenly. Do not say "Hello" when you pick up the telephone. Avoid "Nope" and "Yep" In your conversation when you mean "No" or "Yes." If Boston is going to sustain its reputation as the Athens of America, it must quit the use of these barbarisms, according to Jeremiah E. superintendent of Boston schools. It is more in accordance with Boston culture to say something like "This is Mr.

Smith talking; with whom am I conversing?" "There are many words," Superintendent Burke says, "which may be used in place of that moth-eaten, dignified and impolite word Its use is condemned in Boston schools, particularly in classes in salesmanship where knowledge of dignified and grammatical English is essential. "There is no excuse for the use of 'Nope' and 'Yep' in conversation. I believe that if Boston school children will check themselves in their use, parents at home will gradually dispense with their use. "My advice to the children in Boston schools is: "Don't be slovenly in the use of English. Slovenliness is the result of habit, and once tolerated, it is likely to cling to all of us until mature American.

ETIQUETTE THAT SEEMS ODD Table Manners at the Time of Chaucer Were of a Decidedly Primitive Character. Table manners at the time of Chaucer were described in a lecture by Kenneth Hare, author and poet, on "A Holiday in London in the Days of Chaucer." Etiquette in those days (the latter half of the Fourteenth century) demanded that meat should be held between two fingers and a thumb of the left hand, and no more, if one was to be received in polite society. After soup, pike roasted in claret and flavored with strange and varied spices was eaten. Then followed partridge roasted with saffron, cloves and ginger, and jam tarts and jelly. It was the custom to change the cloth with the courses, and one read of one feast in which each new cloth was scented with a perfume appropriate to the dish.

In Chaucer's day the bath in construction was not unlike a miniature pulpit, and a bouquet of sweet scented herbs was hung over it for the stream to draw out their refreshing qualities. The Man in the Moon. Observations made from August, 1920, to February, 1921, by Prof. William Henry Pickering of Harvard, who is one of the world's leading astronomers and an authority on lunar and Martian phenomena, tend, he asserts, to prove beyond doubt that life exists on the surface of the moon. The professor bases his assertions on a series of telescopic photographs of a crater with a circumference of 37 miles.

Hundreds of photographic reproductions have, it it stated, proved irrefutably the springing up at dawn, with an unbelievable rapidity, of vast fields of foliage, which come into full blossom just as rapidly, and which disappear in a maximum period of 11 days. The plates also show that great blizzards, snowstorms and volcanic eruptions are frequent. "We find," says the professor, "a living world at our very doors where life in some respects resembles that of Mars-8 world which the astronomical profession has in past years utterly neglected and ignored." Ship Has 18,000 Spoons. We may be cutting down our warships. There is no reduction in our liners.

This applies to size as well as to number. Take the White Star liner, Majestic. The largest steamer in the world is aptly named! Its tonnage is 56,000 and It is to carry 14,000 knives, 10,000 forks 18,000 spoons, 45,000 pieces of plate in all, 178,000 pieces of linen and 270,000 pieces of crystal and glassware. When one adds it cargo, crew and passengers, one's brain almost staggers at the responsibility which will rest on the shoulders of the captain. -London Answers.

Shoved Off. The Chasseurs Alpins, those classy French fighting men who helped train the marines who first went to France, could never quite get accustomed to some of the marine corps lingo. One of the Blue Devils had learned the meaning of the sea-going phrase "shove-off," but when he had his first chance to use It he was -as the sayis -not there. "Hey, French," said a Leatherneck, "have you seen our lieutenant around "Out, monsleur, oul," said the poilu, struggling to remember the elusive phrase, "he have -what you callpushed Leatherneck. Roman Relics In London.

An old Roman building dating back to the Third or Fourth century was uncovered by workmen in Grace Church street, London, while laying postal cables. One wall four and a half feet thick and extending downward 13 feet appears to form part of an inner chamber of a Roman building. The outline of the chamber Is apparent and there are painted ornamentations on the walls. Museum officials believe that the walls belong to the original forum of Roman London.
