GREENvILLE, June 10.-Sunday of last
week was observed as ''Children's Day" at
Bethel church, and it consisted mainly in
questions by the Rev. DR.. Murray: re-
sponses by the Sunday School scholars, and
an address on the Chinese ways and GUS

ated with evergreens and roses and present
ed a pleasing appearance The children ren-
dered quite number of suitable pieces for
the day and hour, and they sang many
pieces exceptionally well to accompaniment
rendered by that superb organist, Miss
Clara B. Palmer. Rev. J. W. Wolf, the
pastor, made some remarks and the congre-
cation went away delighted with the ser.
vices.
Harvest is fast approaching and promises
to be an abundant one in this section.

THIRTYTHREE CHINESE SPOOKS.

A resident near Wrights Station who

men were blown to the happy hunting
grounds by an explosion while the tunnel
was being built. For some years such of
the remains as were picked up were buried
in plot of ground near the railroad track
Some time ago. however, the bones were
shipped to China by the companies which
brought the unfortunate cCl2Stlals to the

The Truth of the Matter.

Once pleasure loving Teuton put his Sunday go
to- suit on, and he started for a frolic in
the much neglected zoo.
Gazed with speeches. satisfaction upon every
rare attraction and he wondered when twas
over what he next had better do.
But his moments indecision was arrested by a
vision, and at once the other creatures
seemed comparatively crude.
Twas that gratis exhibition OF conceit and mani
ton, that from poverty Of language we are
forced to call Dude
But the Teuton, unacquainted with the genius
nearly tainted, could that be human being
so unusually shaped?

THE POSTAL CARS ARE II TIE MIDDLE
Of the train here in India, apd the postal
clerks are natives. It takes about twice as
many clerks to manage the mail as
with US, but the service is much cheaper.
/ The head clerk gets about seventy rupees
month, or less than thirty dollars, and
the others receive from ten to twenty a
month. Letters are sorted on the train
and extra postage is charged for the pos
ting of letters at the trains just before the
car starts.
One of the worst things about these In
dian trains is the impossibility of passing
from one car to another and the difficulty
which one has to get at the guard or to stop
the train. You may be locked up in the
same compartment with mad man or
robber and it is impossible for you to help
youself In the cars of one of the western
Indian roads there's a little electric button,

which is pane of thick glass. Just around
