A Collection of Teanots.

There are fads and fads, but among
the queerest, perhaps, is that of an
English woman who is collecting Japa-
nese teapots. She has spent several
years in the land of the Mikado and
while there has accumulated more
than 1000, of which no two are of the
same pattern The collection is val
ued at $1,000. One is like an old man
whose head formed the lid, and could
be set at any angle. Others are in
the shape of birds, beasts and fowls,
not to mention fish, frogs. a beetle or
two. and fat squirmy eel. Buddha
even was pressed into service as a
model. There are lotus bud pots, and
other pots in semblance of teahouse.
One huge caldron-like affair holds
three gallons. and at least a dozen
specimens would not contain a Thin
bleful. Among these are several swans.

It is a matter Of surprise that the uni
versatility of the bicycle has not pro-
duced an extensive vernacular. AS a
matter of fact, the slang expressions
in general use as gathered by an East
ern contemporary, are but few. Cyclist
is legitimate and comprehensive
word that is shorter than wheelman
or wheelWoman. In PARKWAY New Zea-
land, the awful word ''cyclodonna" has
been coined as a substitute for wheel
woman. In many Western towns the
fair rider is called a "blOomer," with
out regard to her costume. The word
"scorcher," as indicating a speedy cy-
clist, is fairly engrafted upon the Ian
guage. In Chicago, however, the
"scorcher" is called a "scoot." The tech
nicalities of the machine have led to at
tempts upon the part of young men to
coin expressions. "Your tire is pune
tured" indicates that the story you are
telling lacks the probable element of
truth. Reckless statements are called
'coasting." A very ancient yarn is not.

His Belief Rudely Shocked

A Japanese gentleman, now residing
in Philadelphia, has had his religious
convictions sadly shattered since his
sojourn in this country. He was con-
verified to Christianity in Japan through
the efforts Of an enthusiastic Presby-
terrain missionary there, and because
the missionary wore silk hat the
faithful Japanese supposed that q silk
hat was always an adjunct to Chris
tianity. When the steamer which
brought him to America reached San
Frencisco it was boarded by a man in
a silk hat who swore continuously in a
most shocking style. Such language
from a man who was certainly Chris
tan because he wore silk hat upset
the OrientaFs belief, and he shortly
lapSed into agnosticism.

the complainant both parties were over
sixty years of age and had been mar

poor and an invalid, the wife property
owner and well-to-do, so the attorney
for the defendant applied for alimony.
This being q case in which no pre-
cedent could be cited, the judge re-
viewed the history of the evolution Of
woman from antiquity to the present

"new woman" stands upon an "abso-

concerned" the wife must pay the fam

PREACHING STILL AT 81.
Pastor for Half Century Without
Salary.

Pastor for Half Century Without
Salary.
1t is an unusual thing, indeed, for a
minister to be in active service at the
ripe old age of 81, and it is more
unusual thing for minister to continue
without salary as pastor of one charge
for fifty-fve years with still no definite
time for retirement therefrom to look
forward to. There is such a minister
in Montgomery County, however, in the
person of Elder iona than Van Cleave,
pastor of the Indian Creek Baptist
Church.
The venerable iona than Van Cleave
is the recognized patriarch of his de-
nomina ton, and throughout the central
States his name is a household word in
all Primitive Baptist families. He has
been great travelling preacher, always
at his own expense, and while every
third Sunday" finds him in his own pull
pit, every other Sunday finds him in
some other pulpit, perhaps hundreds of
miles from his home.
Although 81 years old, his form is
erect, his eye clear and sparkling, his
voice resonant and ringing and his
mind and memory unimpaired. He re-
members with distinctness every Incl
Gent Of his youth, and, what is unusual
with old men, he perfectly remembers
all incidents and circumstances of his
later years. He reasons as he always
reasoned, and in the revolution of
church and creed he clings to the relig-
ious tenets of his early ministry. He

The very incest material for a bath

newest suits are made Of faille silk.
They are very handsome and very
expensive. A material that is much
lighter and more graceful than faille
silk is India silk. Black India silk
trimmed with white braid makes very
attractive costume. Gloria silk is also
very nice material, and the ingenious
girl who can make her own costume
need not spend more money for it than
for an ordinary flannel suit. A strik-

with white. These are conspicuous
enough to please the most ardent lover
