How Rivers FIJI IN with Mud.

Very few people have any idea of the i'm
mense labor involved and the means adopt
ed in dredging operations whereby the
mud and other deposits are removed from
Che bottoms Of harbors, rivers and docks.
At any of our harbors or ports dredging
machines may be seen at work periodically,
and it is remarkable what beneficial results
follow their operations. The process and
its utility can readily be conceived when it
is considered that every rill Of water car
ries with it a quantity, however minute,
Of earthly particles.
Large streams, owing to the strength Of
their currents, are generally able to make
passage, but narrow and winding rivers
with slowly flowing waters are often mate
rally injured by the deposits To such
degree has this been experienced that Sand
witch, that ancient seaport, is left almost in
the state Of an inland town, and the port
of Iittlehampton, on the coast Of Sussex,
which was harbor for the largest vessels
many years ago, at present admits only
small vessels, and even those with diff

Funny Scenes In Church.

"Some of the funniest things do happen
in our church" a devoted Episcopalian
churchman said recently in a group OF
women who were discussing various affairs.
Our serious forms and ceremonies seem to
attract the ludicrous by mere force Of de-
praved contrast Then, too, things that
would not seem so absurd in other churches
become outrageously laughable in ours.
For instance, one hot summer day a fussy
woman in the congregation hustled out Of
her pew and up into the chaneel to give the
perspiring rector an immense palm leaf fan.
The poor man had to take it, and that stu
pendous fan in conjunction with his ethe-
real priestly robes and solemn Office made
the congregation litter audibly.
