SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
It Utd to Be Rudely Interrupted In
Olden Timea In England.

employed to go about church In sum
mer to keep people awake
At another English church, that of
Acton. In Cheshire, It was the practice
during the middle of the last century
for one of the churchwardens to pro
ceed through the church during service
with a huge wand in bis band where
with if any one of tbe congregation
were observed to be asleep he was In
stantly awakened by a tap on the head.
In Warwickshire a similar custom
prevailed. A warden bearing a. stout
wand shaped like a bay fork at tbe end
stepped stealthily op and down the
nave and the aisles, and whenever he
saw an Individual asleep he touched
him so effectively that the nap was
broken, thia being sometimes accom
plished by the application of the fork
to the nape of tbe neck.
A more playfnl method obtained In
another church. The beadle went about
during service carrying a long staff, to
one end of which was attached a fox1
brush and to the other a knob. With
the former he gently tickled tbe faces
of tbe women sleepers, while with tbe
knob he bestowed a sharp rap on the
head of male offender. Exchange.
Stone Miorebea.
The decay of building stones, accord

decay of vegetable substance.
A cure has been found for the stone
disease, or at leapt a form of treatment
that diminishes Its ravage. The stones
are treated wltb germicides, the best
of which appear to be a mixture of
sulphate of copper solution with bl
"Bloriri ai mercury and creosote.

Hew to Boil Water.
To boll water would seem to be a
very simple thing, and yet tbe late
Charles Delmonlco used to say that
very few people knew how to do it
"The secret is," he said, "inputting
good fresh water Into a clean kettle al
ready quite warm and setting tbe wa
ter to boiling quickly and then taking
It right off for use In tea. coffee or
other drinks before it Is spoiled To let
it steam snd simmer snd evaporate un
til the good water Is In the atmosphere
and the lime and iron and dregs only
Meft in the kettle is what makes a great
many people sick, and It Is worse than
no water at all." For water boiled like
this snd flavored with a few drops of
lemon Juice Mr. Delmonlco use to
charge as much ss for his best liquors,
snd be often recommended it to his
customers and friends who complained
of loss of appetite.
