Odd Items in Old Churches,

There are odd items in many of our old
churches of which we are quite unaware;
and there are many others which, though
seen, we pass by with scarcely a glance at
them for want of understanding their
meaning or use.
The p%enitential cell in the Temple church
is one such. High up in the thickness of
the north wall, looking down, through two
narrow openings, upon the magnificent ro-
tunda, with its mystic circle of porphyry
olumns II effigies of crosslegged knights
lying full length on the glistening pave
ment and into the long chancel, is a small
stone cell, too short for a man to lie down
ir at full length, and too low for him to
stand upright in, in which recusants were
confined for penance.
A narrow stone stair winds up till it ar
rives at the small, strong, low door of &C.
cess to it, and passes On to the triforium
around the rotunda, now lined with monu-
ments to the memory of legal worthless
formerly Oh the walls of the church below.
Word has been handed down to us that a
knight, Walter le Bachelor by name, was
led up this stair, thrust into this cell and
with irons on his limbs left to die of star
walton, when his body was dragged down
the winding stair and buried in the grounds
outside.
Perhaps it is this tradition that gives the
stony cell an enchanting and pathetic in
terest that brings it back again to the
minds of those who have looked into it,
long after the busy traffic of the Strand,
close by, has effaced the memory of the
snowy Elizabethan splendor of the Tenn
plars' hall and parliament room, with their
carved oak and painted glass. Gentle

The late A. T. Stewart was harassed ,by
a certain treasury decision which vastly
increased his payment of duties. His law
yer called one day about another matter.
Stewart spoke in an eXasperated way about
the treasury decision. LET me see the de-
%cision," said the lawyer. After reading it
through he said: "This law speaks Of ALI
silk garments. Why don't you have a.
thread of worsted run into these goods
when they are made abroad?" "Will that
come within the new law?" asked the great
merchant. Certainly"
How much do you want for that opin-
ion?" asked Stewart a few months later.
Fifty thousand dollars" said the lawyer.
And he got it. He was modest, too, but a.
dollar went further in those days than, it
does now. Stewart, years after, told his
legal adviser that the casual suggestions
made that day had been worth over $1,5o6,-
600 to the merchant. So the $50, 900 fee
was not high.-San Francisco Argonaut.

The Value of American Forests,

Probably you will be surprised when l
tell you that the annual increase of the
forests by natural growth, representing the
interest which we are at liberty to draw
without impairing the principal, exceeds
in the United States alone ten times the
value of the gold and silver output of
this country, and is worth more than
three times the product of all our min
eral and coal mines put together. If
to the value of our total mining product
be added the value of all the stone
quarries and petroleum resources, and this
sum be increased by the estimated value of
all the steamboats,, sailing vessels and
canalboats plying in American waters, it
will still be less than the value Of the an
nual forest product of the nation by a sum
sufficient to purchase at cost of construc-
ton all the canals, buy up at par all stocks
of the telegraph companies, pay their
bonded debts and equip all the telephone
lines. -Interview in Washington Star.

What Had Become of the Others.

There is a story of one of the old judgeA
who in his youthful days had run a course
of dissipation with a wild set of acquaintr
ances, most of whom afterward took to q
criminal course Of life. One day his lord
ship had before him at the Old Bailey .
mar convicted of highway robbery, and
recognized him as one of the old associates
of his youth. Moved by curiosity and feel
ing sure that his identity would never b
guessed, he asked before passing sentences
what had become of his evil companions Of
boyhood. "Oh, they are every one hanged
but your lordship," replied the prisoner,
with a profound bow.-London Tit-BitN$&

In sandy soil the greatest success is met
with in utilizing a stream of water from q
hose to bore the way for the sinking Of
piles. The nozzle is secured to the heel OF
the pile and the stream turned On. The
pile sinks rapidly, and the sane packing
about it renders it perfectly solid.
