Religious and Educational.

According to the recent statistics of
the Methodist Episcopal Church there
were 312 parsonages built last year, a
larger advance than in any previous year,
against 1913 in 1878. This is one parson-
age for every secular day of the year.
Some of these parsonages built last year
range from 5000 to $50, each.

The identification was positive, and Hart
protested against arrest in vain. Doubt

Foreign Gossip.

MIR. Sala says the spectacle OF q
drunken man in Spain is about as rare as
an industrious one.
"A singular error was committed by
the English transit expedition stationed
in Egypt. Through the unfortunate mis-
take of an operator the Jansen rotatory
photOgraphing apparatus was set to work
too early, so that the sixty photographs
which were obtained were taken before
the planet Venus was quite in the right
place.
An Englishman has recently died
leaving ESQ for the benefit of the Abbey
bell-ringers of Bath. The conditions i'm
posed upon and running with the bequest
are: That on the anniversary OF de-
ceased's wedding-day the ringers shall
toll the bell, with muffled clappers, from
eight in the morning until eight at night;
but on the anniversary of his death triple
bob-majors are to be rung for the same
length of time. Whence it appears that
his married life was not over happy.
The Lynn (Englsnd) Advertiser says:
"While Sir George Kinloch and family
were at luncheon few days ago in
Perthshire, they we're startled by the
breaking of q window pane, a splinter
from which cut Miss Kinloch on the
hand. On examination q large pheasant
was found lying dead on a sofa. A mir
ror stands opposite the window and the
bird had, it is supposed, been misled by
the reflection therein Of trees and grounds.
The glass was four feet square and 5-16
inch thick, and the pheasant flew against
it with almost the velocity of bullet"
The Paris Euenement of Feb. says:
"Mme. K, young American, whose
grace and remarkable beauty had often
been remarked in society, last Tuesday
sent letters to many members of the
American colony here informing them
that between six and seven o'clock that
evening they would find her dead in the
Bots de Boulogne, near the pigeon-shoot-
ing grounds. Her friends Immediately
hurried to the spot indicated, where they
found her lying in pool of blood. She
had shot herself in the bosom with a pts.
tol. 1t Is stated that an unfortunate love-
affair impelled her to commit suicide.
Some time ago she had tried to poison
herself. The ball has been extracted but
her life is still in danger"
