It Is In Ruins Now, Yot Washington Orice Worshiped There.- > . Within eight miles from the national oapitol at Washington is an old church whlclj was built in 1004. Its parish was founded even before that. Very few people have ever heard of this old church, for the simple reason that tor the past fifty years the place has been falling to rack and,ruin. It is a famous church, and in the early days it was a well known parish, Cor it was the first that was founded hear the city of Washington. Of late years the old families have all moved away, and their children have had in- terests elsewhere. They have all for- gotten the little old church where their ancestors worshiped. It was this church of St. John's that George Washington attended on his frequent visits to its side of the river. A few years back those old parishion- ers who could remember their father's stories of having seen Washington row- ed by his slaves over from Mount Ver- non to service there, put on Washing- ton's pew in the old church a silver plate as a memorial to him. The old graveyard is overgroWJi with honeysuckle, but beneath the-'masses of vine there are many fa!mous old Maryland people buried. The church itself is a curious old structure. It is nearly square and the bricks, which are of exceptional size, were imported from England. The hardware was also imported. There is no, chancel at all in the church. There is a place where the altar should be that is sot apart from the church by a small rail. At one time there was a great high pulpit, but this was taken out by some rector who thought that it was unnecessary.— Living Church. J They Convinced Him. • There was a Russian writer who dis- nppro^ed of so many things in connec- tion with the management of his.^ative country that he got himself into seri- ous trouble with .the authorities. He persisted in pointing out their defects, and at last they got so exasperated that they decided to hang him, and he was duly sentenced to death by one of the governors he h$d criticised. Three times they tried to hang hira, and three times the rope broke. The worried hangman postponed the execution while be went to talk things over with the governor. \What did he say when the rope broke the third time?\ asked the gov- ernor. \He said that It was just what might be expected in' Russia,\ replied the hangman—\that we couldn't even hang % man properly.\ The enraged governor turned in a fury to the hangman. \Convince him that he is wrong!\ be shouted. So the hangman went back to the condemned man and convinced him. EXPENSIVE DINING. ..alufpHali^hTi^ this is the reason that if we are to take a- bitter powder and it is carefully placed at the center of the tongue it can be washed down quickly by a gulp 'of water, leaving no taste in the mouth. The taste bulbs have been ca'rei'tilly measured, and i t is found that they are 1-300 of an inch long and 1-800 of an inch broad, oval in shape, some- thing lite a small Florence flask. The proof that tasting is a. chemical proc- ess lies in the fact that anything that is to be tasted must be soluble, for the unchewed food or hard coated, pill- is not tasted. Tastes have been classi- fied as sweet, bitter/ acid and saline, and experiment has shown' that we taste salty foods-.most rapidly—in. .17 of a second—and that sweet acid and bitter take longer, the last requiring j .258 of a second for perception. \• Another peculiarity of taste is that after a very strong taste of any kind we cannot so easily distinguish slight- er flavors.\ The nerve energy has been exhausted for a time.' and only after a little does it return. If you have eaten sweets for dessert you must drink some water to clear the mouth of the sweet taste or your coffee ,will taste very bitter, no matter ho.w much sugar you put into it. The profes- sional ten taster knows that the gusta- tory nerve becomes exhausted, tor aft- er a series of tastings he .stops to give his nerve of taste an opportunity to re- turn to its normal condition- In taste and smell alike all individ- uals differ. The same food' does not taste precisely the same to any two In- dividuals, any more than the same per- fume smells the same. 'There is a gen- eral resemblance, .but the expert who has trained his sense of smell or'taste perceives finer distinctions than tlie person who has given little\ attention to these special senses and their de- velopment, Arguments are of no avail, as was recognized in the popular and ancient proverb, \There is no disput- ing about tastes.\- There is no scien- tific explanation of- the fact that one peraon likes onions and another abhors them. Some persons are fond of olives only after they have cultivated the taste. The only suggestion'^ an explanation is that in so&e-person* the chemical changes brought, about by onions or olives are pleasing, while in others they are .offensive. It is the gusjtatory nerve that tells,the tale, but little is understood about it.—New Yor£ World. Prices Soar Sky High.at the Hotel des Roches Noires. Trouville is in the season one\ of the most expensive spots 'in Europe. It contains what is assuredly one of the most expensive hotels in Europe: The individual'who takes his wife and fam- ily to the'Hotel des Roches Noires for, say, a month in the high season and does them really well—that is. gives them the best which the house has to offer—when he comes away—if he has paid his biM— has left a small fortune behind him. The idea that an Englishman be- cause he is being charged a high price is being cheated is absurd. Nowadays —whatever it used -to' be once upon a time—an Englishman in a really smart hotel in Prance is looked at askance. French people on pleasure bent are much more extravagant than we are. They do not seem to care what they spend. I remember dining once at Tronvllle when a basket of nectarines was offer- ed by the head waiter. They were quite nice nectarines, but that head waiter wanted 25 francs apiece. Five dollars for two or three mouthfuls seemed to me too much, but tbose nec- tarines all went. There was' scarcely a Frenchman in the room who did-not treat himself to one. At the next table ;i>icitstE\\i'mni;~ntK : r r-ta,jnin9.Taais.j(i man with his wife and his daughter.

The sailing wheelbarrows of China- are a sight to delight the eyes,1tf an old salt stranded inland, particularly^ 1 the Shensi district, where mile long processions of these queer vehicles jtnay be met with. Wheelbarrow transporta- tion would be almost impossible in this district, due to the blown sand, were it not for the ingeniously devised sails. Night and day for months at a stretch without ceasing the wind blows stead- ily from west to east at an average ve- locity of more than fifteen miles an hour. Luckily this chances to toe the direction of the Country's produce transportation, so that the heaviest laden of the barrow craft are able to \make port\ with a fair wind. A. wind \dead astern,\ however, is by no means absolutely necessary, for by in- geniously contrived supports on the sides of the barrows the sails may. be. set to take advantage of almost, every slant of breeze,—Popular Mechanics. Daudet!s Romance. The novelist, Alphonse Daudet, had' determined to remain a bachelor, be- cause he was afraid that if he made a wrong step in', marriage toe might dull- his imagination, He has. given expression to his fear in the \Femmes d'Artistes'' -and' more particularly, in the tale \'Madame Heurtbise.\ with which the volume opens. But, on-be- ing introduced to Mile. Julie Allard, who loved literature and was herself a charming writer and critic, his fear was removed. The union proved a very happy one, and the picture of the two at work is an attractive bit of biog- raphy. • Once, it is related, he had a senti- mental and dramatic scene with his wife, concerning which he remarked: \This seems, my dear, like a chapter that has slipped out of a novel.\ \It is more likely, Alphonse,\ was the reply, \to form a chapter that will slip into one!\ Ever Faithful. ' ' \Henry I believe you are like all the men. When I give you letters to mail you think it's a good joke to carry them for days and days in your pock- et.\ \Abigail 1 give you my word I mail every one of them—eventually.\—Chi- cago Tribune. When Clouds Were Dark. Bill—Oh, yes, I know., old Jackson, He was a good sort. • He did a very kind action once for me when the clouds were dark and threatening and the world looked so black. Sid—What difl he do? Bill—He lent me an um- brella.—London Mail. ' Changing Lead to Gold. Professor Soddy makes the assertion boldly that it is only a question of ap- plication to change lead into gold. He says that while now we can only work with electricity at 100,000 volts it is only a matter of perfecting the method to be able to work; at ten times that voltage when the baser metals can be •changed into the more precious. In other words, electricity, when brought, to its highest efficiency and application, is the real philosopher's stone for which the alchemists of the middle ages searched so long.—New York World. New One on Him. •Politics was at the boiling point in the negro ward, and the lemon colored henchman undertook to air his supe- rior knowledge in the argument with the ebon hued brother. \Yes. sub,\ he declared, speaking of a candidate, \he just a neophyte in politics, just a neo- phyte.\ \Why dat man done tple ouah club las' night he wuz strong 'Publican!'' excitedly declared'the other. \When dat new pah.ty start up?\ Teeth of the Muskellunge. Along. toward the middle of July a curious thing happens to the muskel- lunge. His teeth fall out. A sort of piscatorial Rigg's disease seems to at- tack him. Naturally, he loses flesh in the toothless season, and his inability to enjoy any of the good things that swim about him increases the savagery of his temper. With the coming of September he has cut an entire new set of teeth, and they are like knife blades set up on edge in his jaws. Then he takes on new vigor, voraciousness and aggres- siveness, with the memory of weeks of pentup fury and nnappeased ap- petite to avenge. And then comes the angler's best opportunity with him.— Detroit Free Press. Devil Worshipers, That curious people, the Yezidis oi[ Turkey, live sometimes in huts, but more commonly in black tents like those of the Arabs of the plains. 0( all the peculiar peoples of Turkey they are the most peculiar or the least un- derstood. It is said that they worship the devil instead of God. They re- spect Satan as a deity whose power for good or evil is very great, and therefore they will never mention bis name.—Christian Herald. Gladstone's Taste In Sermons. Gladstone, who never omitted at- tending service twice every Sunday, had his own idea of what a sermon should be like and the effect it should have upon its hearers. Sir Algernon West records that one morning, com- ing from it.be Chapel Royal, the G. O. 'M., \exclaimed against a very beautiful sermop of Mr. White's, of the Savoy, 'because,' he said, 'he has excited my brain by bis quotations and given me afiything but the rest which is what I want and expect to find in church.' \ Food For a Poet. \1 have a vague but persistent yearn- iDg for something,\ murmured the poet —a constant yearning for something, 1 know not what.\ \Maybe it's tripe,\ suggested the sympathetic landlady. \We haven't had any in a long time.\—Washington Her- ald. Military Gymnasts. Japanese soldiers are nearly all gymnasts and every barrack has a gymnasium. So well trained are they that in less than half a minute they can scale a wall fourteen feet high by simply leaping on each other's shoul- flers, one man sustaining two or three others. Ferry Tolls on the Tigris. At one ferry on the Tigris river the toll is as follows: For a poor Arab. 2 cents; for a prosperous Arab, 4 cents; for a soldier. 10 cents: for a pilgrim. 20 cents; for a European. SO cents. The scale of prices for nearly everything along the way is similar. But many of the Arabs are so poor that they prefer to swim across in the ancient manner. They bind several old gourds together and then, sitting upon them, paddle their way along. — Christian Herald. Population of Earth. The population of the entire earth is around 1,000,000,000. Of this number, Asia has over half, 850:000,000; Africa, 127,000,000; North America, 120.000.- 000: South America, 45.000.000; Austra- lasia. 5,000,000; Europe, 3SO,000,000: polar regions, 300.000. There are no means of estimating the increase in the earth's population, owing to the paucity of statistics and the compara- tively recent date at which any sort of statistics were possible. But it is safe to say that from now on. owing to the spread of science the human in- crease will be greater than ever before. New York American. HE RILED .GLADSTONE, And It Was the- Only Time Disraeli Laughed In the Commons. Disraeli, it is said, laughed only once iB the house of commons. Mr. Glad- stone had made an impassioned speech In favor of the union of Wallaehia and Moldavia. Mr. Disraeli, speaking in opposition, pointed out that the result would be the extinction of the inde- pendence of these people, and the only thing left would be tlie remorse \which would be painted with admirable elo- rruence by the rhetorician of the day.\ In reply Mr, Gladstone said that he would not be guilty of the affected modesty of pretending to be ignorant that that designation \the rhetorician of the day\ was intended for himself. Mr. Disraeli interrupted with the re- mark: \I beg your, pardon. I really did not mean that.\ Disraeli sat down with a satisfied smile that told of his enjoyment. Mr. Gladstone's face expressed amazement and indignation. Ills op- ponent had placed him in the mortify- ing position of applying a remark to himself which had no such personal reference, therefore Gladstone's wrath and Disraeli's smile. The Liberal lead- er proceeded with his speech and con- demned the \sesquipedalian words and Inflated language\ of the leader of the Conservatives. SWALLOWING A PILL Dodges the Germs. \I understand that your neighbor Jinks has a deadly fear of microbes end takes every possible precaution to avoid infection.\ \That's true. He won't even read a book or article if he thinks it contains any germs of thought.\—Baltimore American. Her Odd Way. Giles—My wife is a queer woman. Miles — Indeed! Giles—Yes. Why. when she has occasion to drive a tack she uses a hammer instead of a hair- brush.—Chicago News. Switching It Off. Miss Elderleigh—So yon remark^J to Katherine that I looked as old as the hills?

As He Pops the Question. He^—Will you marry me? She—You would make a poor excuse for a hus- band. He-Well, a poor excuse is bet ter than none.-Exchange. The fool who is silent passes far Vise.—French Proverb. By Being Too-Conscious of the Act We Make It Difficult. Reduced to plain words, the scientific reasbn why so many people find it ex- ceedingly difficult to swallow a pill Is because they try to. While this sounds paradoxical, it is, nevertheless, true, according to the best of authorities. The explanation is that in eating our food we swallow it almost automatically -and give no thought to the act of. swallowing, but with a pill we put it in the mouth and say to ourselves. \This is a very small object and will be difficult to swallow; I must make an effort to do this.\ And right there is where the diffi- culty comes with most people. The muscular effort -made to swallow the pill, accompanied by the thinking about the act,, really hinders the proper work- ing of the throat muscles that would otherwise act properly in, carrying the pill down the throat, • . ; A similar condition is that of a mu- sician playing well' when alone and faltering in the presence of listeners. It has been' advanced that fear incon- veniences the nervous -system, causing the musician to fumble and the pill swallower to procrastinate.—New York World. Majority and Plurality. In politics the plurality is the great- est of more than two numbers and is also the excess of the highest number of votes cast for any one candidate over the next highest number. When a candidate receives out of 10.000 votes cast 4,000 and two other candidates re- ceive respectively 3.500 and 2.500. the first is elected by a plurality, though he has received less than a majority of the whole vote, and he is said to have a plurality or QUO votes. 11 the num- bers are 0,000, 3,000 and 1.000, the ma» jority is 2,000 and the plurality is 8,000. A majority, therefore, must be more than half the entire vote cast. and a candidate's majority is, then, the difference between! the number of votes he received and the combined number of votes cast for all other candidates; his plurality is the difference between his own number and the number re- ceived by the candidate nearest to him. WOOD FROM THE MOON. Queer Decision of the Most Primitive Race on Earth. The \north pole* patives\ alluded to by Captain Amundsen in a recent lec- ture were discovered by him while he was navigating his little craft, the Gjoa, through the Northwest passage In 1903-7. He christened them \Nechilli\ and considered them to be the most primi- tive race on earth. No white man had ever before invaded their icy fast- nesses. Consequently they wore igno- rant of the use of iron. Their fishing Implements were long spears, fashion- ed out of reindeer horn. They knew no other method of procuring fire than that of rubbing two pieces of wood to- gether. They were, in short, still in the stage of civilization reached by our ancestors of the stone age. So cut off were they from others of their kind, that they imagined their tribe was the only one In the world and displayed the utmost astonishment when told of populous countries far to the south, where neither Ice nor snow was. The Gjoa and her crew tbey thought to have dropped from the moon, and the first Nechilli to come aboard felt the deck, masts, boats, oars, all the while whispering to one another in amnspment, \How much wood there is in the moon—how very much!\—London Standard. Too Eager. '' There is a lady in Richmond who has in'her employ a darky servant of a most curious disposition. \Did the postman.leave any letters. Lily?\ the mistress asked on one occa- sion on returning from a call in the neighborhood. \There ain't nuthin' but a postal- card, ma'am.\ said Lily. \Who is it from?\ asked the mistress .craftily. \ 'Deed, I don't know, ma'am,\ said Lily, with an air of entire innocence.' \Well any one that sends me a mos-, sage on a postal card is either very stupid or impertinent.\ suggested the lady of the house. \Excuse me, ma'am,\ said Lily, with dignity, \but that ain't no way to talk 'bout yo' own mother!\—Philadelphia Ledger. The Agriculturist's View. Two farmers on a visit to Liverpool stood upon the platform of a railway station, when a lady passed dressed in the height of fashion. ' \Theer Jim,\ said one. \what do you think of that, lad?\ Jim looked at her for a minute and then said. \Ay. Tom, it's bad ground that takes so much top dressing!\— Liverpool Mercury. GOOD ADVERTISING F»AYS. Before Ypu Can Reafk a Harvest You Must First Sow the Seed. The ordinary newspaper or periodical- reader doesn't dream of the potency of good advertising. One of the largest, general advertisers ii) the 'United States, if not quite the largest, is a manufacturer in the Philadelphia met- ropolitan district. There is a never ending race at that plant between the advertising depart- ment and the builders. The adyertisers bring in so much business that the builders are kept busy enlarging the factory. Sotnethiug like $1,000,000 a year is spent in advertising this company's output! which. is a luxury- in every sense. At the present moment orders for new business are so far ahead of the capacity of the plant that it would seem a hopeless job ever to catch up.. But the adyertisers never relax. The hpad of that great concern now knows almost better than anybody else that before you can reap a harvest you must first sow the seed. The advertis- ers are the chaps that are doing that— Philadelphia Ledger. ' PREPARING FOR OLD AGE. If You Reach Sixty-five- Years What Will Be'Your Condition? Actuaries say that of each' thousand men living at ihe>age of twenty 500. will still be- aijive at sixty-five. Econ- omists declare that of the 500'living at sixty-five 200 will ' be in want; that eight-ninths of the pauperism in Amer- ica is among people who have 'passed this same age of sixty-five. A man is, of course, sometimes brought to want in old age through, accident, through continued illness of- himself or his family, through a dozen and one -mischances against which even the wisest, is helpless adequately to provide. .In spite of this, however,. there are certain tried' and .proved rec-. ipes by which a young man may guar- antee at least the probability that he will not be found among the unfortu- nate 200 after the age of sixty-five\. - Avoidance of -wasteful, 'destructive fiabits; thrift, economy, the practice of spending, habitually less than one earns, the habit of study, which in- .creases one's -usefulness' and earning power-rsuch are a few of the stable qualities which distinguish the young- man approaching an independent old age from the one approaching a con- dition of want. Stand the actuary's thousand men in a row, divide them into two groups, the one possessing the habits a ad qualities noted above and the other lacking them, and there would bo little difficulty in telling from which group will come the 200 and from which the 300.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Ruby Mines of Mogok. The civilized world knows little of, the famous ruby mines of Mogok, in a valley of Burma, whence come near- ly all the Jarge rubies, for the .road lies through a forest which is seldom trod by whites. A.iew.Engiis'hfnen.who live there' have Uijd out it polo ground, and between this and the town are the mines. The diggings are slowly eat- ing up the village; and the main streett is already hiilf, destroyed. The work goes on all day and all night, the ruby bearing earth being brought up In iron trolleys. A few strangers who have called' at the mines have b*en told by' • the officials that they can keep any e ' ruby tbey may find, but no one has' ever been able to find one yet. -The gems are embedded in the gold colored clay, which stretches along the whole of the valley,.and it is only after the earth has been washed that the rubies .are seen on the tables.—Argonaut. Made the Journey Quite Cheerful. Mf. Justice Maule once went on cir- cuit with Judge Coleridge in a part of. • England where the .high sheriff was a . shy and modest man- and very much alarmed at having to entertain his cyn- ical lordship. Coming home in 'his coach with the two judges he thought it his duty to make conversation for them. He .observed that he hoped there would be better weather, as the moon had Changed, \And are you such a fool, Mr. Jones, as to imagine that the moon has any effect on the weather?\ said Maule. . \Really Brother Maule,\ said Cole- ridge, who was politeness itself, \you are very hard upon our friend. For my part. I think the moon has consid- erable effect upon it.\ .\Then said Maule, \you are as great a fool as Jones is.\ After which, conversation in the sheriff's carriage languished.
