The committee on hospitality had
provided for a free excursion to the
delegates and visitors. Saturday after
noon was devoted to that interesting
feature of the conventions stay in
Charleston, and about 3 o'clock large
party left Accommodation wharf on
the steamboat Planter. The weather
was line, a bounteous lunch had been
provided and the trip embraced visit
to historic old Fort Sumter, the jetties
and jaunt up Ashley river. To many
of the delegates from the upper coun-
ties the whole excursion was a com.
plete novelty, the scenery along the
river something unique and altogether
the trip to Charleston's big mill-pond
was charming episode. And, then,
too, on the way back a number of them
stepped in to see the big presses of the
News and Courier at work on the Sun.
day edition of that paper, and some of
them went thence to visit the historic
First Baptist church, the oldest church
in the State.
During the session of the convention
many of the delegates visited the
museum connected with the Charles.
ton College, and the fine specimens OF
the many curious, interesting animals
and the other things to be found there
were full of charm and instruction.
But there is such a thing as weariness
of the flesh, and then, too, Baptists
somehow get mighty homesick at these
gatherings of the denomination.
This was perhaps the reason why at
saturday nights session there was
comparatively so small an attendance.
State Missions occupied the time, and
was discussed by Rev. o. L. Martin

THE ARMS OF EUROPE.

THE army and navy of England cost s160, ,o0o year.
 THE lowest sick rate in the English navy service in 1893 was on the south east coast of America station, and the highest on the China station. A RUSSIAN economist estimates the annual cost of armed peace in Europe at s2,O0O, ,OOO, 900. How vastly less ex- pensive it would be to,maintain an un- armed peace!
 A NEW outer sole is being tried on the boots of the German soldiers by direct order of the emperor. It con- sists of paste of inseed oil varnish and iron filings, which is said to render the sole flexible and make it more dura- ble than the new aluminium boot nails.
 Two new British torpedo-boat de- stroyers, the Banshee and Contest, built by Laird, show high speed with fewer revolutions than others of their class. The Banshee made three-hour trial with an average speed of 27.6 knots with 345 revolutions. These two boats are 21O feet long.
 THE Russian war office has decided to use henceforth exclusively gray horses for artillery purposes, the reason given for the innovation being that animals of this color have been found by ex- perience to be stronger and more endur- ing than the brown ones now used.
 EXPERIMENTS were recently made near Aurillac of the penetration of the Lebel rifle against bank of snow. Walls from three to six meters thick were built, and from distance of fifty five yards the bullet stopped in every case at penetration of five feet six inches. The striking velocity was 2,035 per second.

ABOUT THE WRITERS.

JOHN JACOB AsToR, who has made a beginning as an author, is ambitious to become a playwright.
 RUDYARD KIPLING is spending sev- eral weeks at the capital. He has been making close study of George Wash ington relics.
 THE funeral services of Robert Louis Stevenson in Samoa were conducted by missionaries of the London Missionary society.
 WHILE Herbert Spencer bankrupted himself by the publication of charts to go with his phllosophic books, a French high-kicking concert hall sing CT pockets 1000 a week at New York place of amusement.
 RUDYARD KIPLING's father, John Lockwood Kipling, proposed to his mother, Alice Macdonald, on the shore of Rudyard lake, England, and was ac- cepted. The author was named Rud- yard in honor of that romantic episode. PROF. BICKMoRE, who is featuring on American forestry at the Museum of Natural History in New York, illus trates the durability of wood by exhib- iting an Egyptian image made of wood which he states is at least 4,OO0 years | old.
 AMONG the eccentricities that Harriet Beecher Stowe is said to have devel- oped in her old age is detestation o1 all reference to her famous book, Uncle Toms Cabin" She can stand nc allusion, however yelled, to her noted novel, and her friends and relatives are very careful to prevent the men tiOn of the book ill her praSence.

 q found them very good. They differ somewhat from the old-fashioned cocoanut cake in taste and texture, as well as in build and color; the old cocoanut cake, while not brittle, ex- actly, was what you might call crumbly and sugary; it dissolved quick ly in the mouth; while the contem- poraneous cocoanut cake, after you get below the light frostwork of its exte- rior, has decidedly more conscience; it is what the modern child calls chevy; but the cocoanut taste is there all right, and as eat them they carry me back to the days of my youth"

He Buys Two Cents Worth of Cecoanut
 Cakes and Rerews His Youth.
 'sWhen I was boy," said middle aged New Yorker the other day, ac- cording to the Sun, ''I used to be very fond of eocoanut cakes, as they were called, small disks of candied cocoanut, which cost one cent each. They were colored white and red, and Gnally they got some chocolate colored, and it seems to me they had some other colors. If had only one cent I bought usually a white one, though some times I took a red one; if I had two cents 1 bought a red and white, to have variety. 1 have seen the time when I had three cents, and bought all three colors at once
 "I had not bought any cocoanut cakes for I don't know how many years, though I had seen them along year after year, particularly in sum- mer, when the dust blows and the white ones get all covered with dirt; but the other day I bought two of the new-fashioned kind, that seems just now to be having a run; you see them on all the push carts. The new cocoa nut cakes are all one color, a sort of molasses color; and they are not round and fiat like the old ones, but thick

The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property.
