found that in some sections of the city the
churches are empty because of the want of pop

cOmmodation IS shamefuv inadequate TO the

by Sir Henry Peek showing that four churches
IN the eity-St Dunstan'si the East, ST
Georges. Botolph lane; ST. Margaret Pattens
and st. Mary at Hill-were visited in March,
April, May and June, and that the average at

these churches capital sum of at least two

No More Fortunes in Pills.
New York Mail and Express.

"Within the past three or four years the price
of patent medicines has steadily, declined, and
fortunes are not made rapidly as formerly
out of pills and bitters," said a druggist
yesterday. This cutting in rates began in
Philadelphia and has gradually extended
all over the country. On some medicines the
cut was as high as 90 per cent, and
the reduction al patent medicines
will average over % per cent Formerly a
good patent medicine that was properly handled
and literally advertised would make a fortune
for its proprietor In few years Remedies

for 90 cents, and the bottom price has not yet
been reached
There Is no longer any money in patent med
icines either for the manufacturers.
Prices have been cut so that the margin of profit
hardly pays us for handling them, and the pro
prierors complain that the reduction has affected
their business also. They claim that their med-
cines cost to manufacture and put on the market
nearly what they are obliged to sell for to the
iobbers There has been great revolution in
the patent medicine business and no one can tell
where it will end"

FOR BOYS AND GIRLS,
Grumberella, a Fairy Tale, Quite Good
Enough TO BE True.

Grumberella, Fairy Tale, Quite Good
Enough TO BE True.
Brooklyn Union
She was the crossest old thing! The man. who
believed he made her, must have lost patience
over her, she was that contrary. I say believed
he made her." because if she ever made up her
mind that she wouldn't be made at ALL he never
could have done it. When she sewed up
the needles all ran into the sewing girls fingers
and there was no end of trouble about fitting
her with stick. She showed her spltefuness
after she was finished in many ways.
You never could raise her unless she had
mind to be raised and then the wire caIch would
be certain to stand up on end and run itself In
your hand. She just hated 10 be obgng and to
behave herself like any ordinary umbrella. That
sha had what are called supernatural powers
was quite certain, for whenever you started out
without her it was absolutely certain to rain
AS she stood the hat stand she always got
into some quarrel with the walking sticks. She
would either crowd them into q corner. make
it a point, If she was moist, of making every
thing around her damp and uncomfortable.
There was nothing extraordinary about her to
look at. for she was only gingham umbrella,
and had no right to put on airs, as if she had
been made of silk. Her stick was one of com
mon wood, but she had head on the end of it
Now if you look at that head you never would
have seen anything extraordinary about that
either but that would arise from the fact that it
pleased that old umbrella to keep up fixed and
irnmOvable stare.
1t was AFTER uarK, "hen the !auliiy nan gone
to bed, that she seemed to wake up and
capers. Then that head would make mouths
and ugly faces.
One thing very queer about her was that she
often disappeared. Say it wonld suddenly come
on to rain. You would be quite certain you had
seen her ir the hatstand half hour ago. Then,
when you came to look for her. she was gone
You might make fuss and inquire who had
taken her, and everybody would say they
never touched her.
This strange old umbrella had some kind of
an attachment for the house-only shown in one
way, however, and that was you couldn't lose
her. She might hate to be borrowed. and she
showed this spite by invariably turning inside
out when she was loaned to any stranger. How
old she was nobody could ever tell, but she
wore well. She had lost her original dark shade,
and was now of dirty slate color, but her stick
and ribs of whalebone were just as solid as they
had been in her younger days.
1t was one Of those very hot days when q little
