CELEBRATING AN ANNIVERSARY.

THE REV. DIR. LLOYDS FOURTEEN YEARS WITH

Yesterday was the fourteenth anniversary Of the
founding OF the Central Congregational Church. The
pulpit was appropriately decorated for the occasion.

church. But there others who felt THAT there
was work To be done with broader and freer plat

A st. Louls Industry.

There is in st. Louis a firm of rope
makers and dealers, doing business
on North Main street, that has a side
line that it does not advertise. 1t is
the manufacture and preparation of
hangman's ropes. The firm sells as
many as 100 of the ropes annually.
The price of the rope, with the moose
ready for use, is So. The ropes are
handmade and of hemp, and one of
the employees of the firms North St.
Louis rope-walk ties the knot. A
few weeks since the Sheriff of Madi-
son County, Illinois, had a man to
hang at Edwardsville. He bought a
rope that he thought would answer
the purpose. The tying of the knot
he found, however, to be a more diff
cult matter than he imagined, and
he went to st. Louis to have the moose
made. The ropemakcr charged hitl
$3.50 for tying the knot.

Prefers to Run the other Risk

II used to carry a revolver" said
the man who gets home late at night
to a New York Tribune reporter.
"One evening a man tried to hold me
up, and, when 1 drew my pistol and
asked him what 1 could do for him
and he turned and ran like a deer, i
congratulated myself on being so wise
as to carry a weapon for self-defense.
But l found that my experience with
the highwayman was the very worst
thing which could have happened to
me. Whenever a ma appeared sud-
denly in a dark street late at night 1
fancied he was a footpad, and could
hardly restrain myself from reaching
for my revolver. Then two things
came into my life which made me de-
termine that l would rather run the
danger of being robbed than ofkilling
a man l was telling a friend one
evening how whenI was this
way my impulse was to shoot. He
had a story for me then. 1t was
about a marshal out in Utah when
United States officers were considered
the mortal enemy of the Mormon
Church. This man had been forced
to do a great deal of dangerous and
disagreeable work, and he felt that
;he carried his life in his hands. He
was walking down ar unfrequented.
street one night, as usual on his
guard. He had just passed a tree
when his quick a caught a sound
behind him. Wheeling like a flash,
he saw a man stepping out from be-
hind a tree. Something was in the
mans hand, the marshal could not
e what. With one movement of
his arm he drew his revolver and
fired, killing the man in the shadows
INSTANTLY. The man proved to be a
harmless old cripple. Now the posi-
bility of my committing q terrible
mistake like this worried me into a
condition Of extreme nervousness.
And yet because I was SO nervous I
could not bring myself to give up my
revolver. One night when I was
going home-I live in the outskirts
Of Brooklyn-I had just reached the
corner Of my grounds when a man

Being an American gentlemen ne did
not cay, Il told you So" but he could
not resist asking, as he took my hand:
where did you get your gloves"
l never had q hatchet except q choco-
late one, but I looked in his face and
told him the truth.
"In New York. The English gloves
are not adapted to the American hands,
and they are not half as we'll made, and
French mes. in New York you can
get them to at all kinds of hands, long
fingers and short ones, broad and mar.
row ones. You can buy gloves in Lon
don for % cents y pair, but they are not
worth wearing; they are old-fashioned
in color, badly cut, and altogether un.
desirable. In Paris they make Q great
fuss about making gloves to order for
you, but they IAN do that in New York,
do it just as we'll, and the colors are as
novel as those shown in Paris. Since 1

you mean by patriotism. lhave learned
how the women of q country a make

believe he a do anything he wants
to; and if there is anything that they
know how to do on the other side that we
haven't grasped yet, We are rich enough
to buy that knowledge and to have it
Taught in our manufactures. We can
import knowledge and pay q proper
duty on it. Look AT my watch! Made
in Philadelphia at a factory where
George w. Childs employs 700 women
to polish and etch cnses. It keeps bet

you can get n just as good, you en-
courage industry, and you tend to make
rich and good and prosperous your own
country-people, and that's what we all
ought to try to do.
Naturally my friend and teacher felt
a great pride in me, for who does not
like a p%roselyte? And in ME he had a
most enthusiastic one. l am prepared
to say that while it is delightful to go
abroad "strange countries for to see,"I
shall always have sense enough, and
patriotism enough, to buy my clothes at,
home, getting in that way the best for
the least, and encourage the workers
among my own people. This is the
story, and the true one, of where l
spent my money after all, i. e., at home,

superl, Fur Rugs.

The most superb fur rugs arc made
from the skin of the lion. When the
lion is five years old his name has at
tanned its full growth, and he is then
ready to be sacrificed at the altar of
civilization. Next in beauty comes
the tiger. The graceful, catiikc neck
and sleek, glossy skin make a truly
effective rug-indeed, many prefer it
to the lion skin. The bears, and es-
pecially the grizzlies, are very popu-
lar. The white polar bear is arranged
in a very realistic manner. with his
great mouth open and formidable
claws projecting grimly from the soft
fur. All these animals are. displayed
with one-quarter, onc-half and full
heads-that is, raised and stuffed in
these shapes.

Come when You Wish, and Stay - Lo IL
~ You Please.
Australian station hospitality keeps
the latch string always out and say 8:
"Come when you wish, do what you
like, and stay as long as you can." a
writer in the Manchester Times says
that the Australian host places himself,
his family, and all that is his at the SER
vice Of the guest-fshing-tackle, breech-
leaders, horses and servants. Such
hospitality is rarely abused, though the
writer mentions n exceptional case,
whore the guest prolonged his visit un-
til it wore out his welcome.
To one station came a visitor, whose
original intention of staying a month
reconsidered, and he remained
two. Six months passed, and he was
still there. He enjoyed himself hugely
with horses, dogs, and guns, developed
an encouraging appetite, and his host
did not complain. After about niue
months, the hosts manner became less
warm, and at the end Of the year he
spoke no more to his guest. The latter
was not sensitive, but fingered on for
the space of second year, when he de-
parted and went to visit somebody else.
During these two years he was never
told that he had stayed long enough
and would do we'll to go away.

Rr.ghtost Spot in tho World.

Persons intending to take a journey
in search of sunshine without going
beyond the British Islands must dig;
rect their steps to Jersey. 1t appears
from the observations of the sunshine
recorder for ten years that that little
isle is the brightest spot within the
limits of the four seas. Falmouth is
the next and there are several sta
tions on the south coast almost equal
ly we'll of. 1t is hardly necessary to
name the place which carries off the
palm for sunlessness. In the city of
London there was no registered sun
shine at all in December, 1884: in
January, 1885, or December, 1890.
Seven years ago, therefore, London
was without sunshine for two con-
Secutive months.
