eligible to lend a hand in cleaning the

The church has had curious hist DRY,
and has be- ns.blcssed with curious
collection Of wears. Some Eight or
ten. years ago the parish, which is the
most poverty stricken in vail Birming-
ham, was controlled by Rev: J. f. M:
Whish, and he, finding the Services
4languishing from lack of worshipers,
hit upon all sorts Of queer expedients
for compelling them to come in. t.'s
He announced the most flaming
series of discourses ever given public
ity to by handful and poster. "Pigeon
flying: "a Good Day on the Course
and kindred topics We're de alt with in
stead of orthodox scriptural topics.
Thousands of printed cards. were cir
culated each week, bearing such affec-
tionate inscriptions as: -,.
''Come and hear your old pal, the Rev
j. F. NJ. Whish." -
'Now, then, buck up! Give your old
pal Whish another trial."
Other cards would contain IN ex-
hortation signed: -.
II remain, your true pal, J. T.. NJ.
Whish." e 49,, .... ..
This original vicar would go into
public houses during the dinner hour,
and, addressing the company, would
say:
"Well, gentlemen, you have given my
friend the landlord a good turn; now
finish up at my little place Oh the other
side of the road"
. Special services were held-one week
for pigeon flyers, another week for
sweeps and third for sandwich men.
Mr.. Whish's successor was as devoted
and faithful vicar as his predecessor,
but lacked Mr.. Whish's humor and dis
erection. He gave so narrowing a de-
scription of the denizens of the courts
and alleys in the parish to a local jour
nalist that those whom he. freely de-
scribcd as hawkers, rogues and loose
women resented his descriptions of
them by breaking his windows.

THE CAROLINES UP.To.DATE.
What the United States Consul at TomiI
Says of the Group.

What the United States Consul at Tom1I
Says of the Group.
In the advance sheets of the consul
lar reports lately issued by the state
department the Caroline islands was
made the subject of an interesting de-
scription by the United States agent
at zap, one of the principal islands of
the groop. The consul describes in
brief and entertaining manner the Isle
of zap, which, will be seized by the
United States and utilized as O coaling
station or a naval base. Interesting
in the extreme is the history of the
people of this little island, occupying
as it does such a commanding position
on the high road of original traffic.
The island proper, the consul writes,
is surrounded by coral reef thirty
five miles long by five broad. There
are hardly any riyulets in its area, but
inland are extensive swamps with
dense growth of tropical foliage. The
island is richer in scenery, the groves
of bamboo, croton, cocoanut and
spreading palms being most impress
sive. zap is full ofrelics Of vanished
ciyilization-old embankments and
terraces, sites of ancient cultivation,
stone-paved roads, enormous council
lodges of quaint design, with bold,
high projecting gables, and lofty
cavern pillars. Walls of ancient fish
ponds and stone weirs fill the lagoon
between the coral reef and the shore,
thus making navigation a difficult
matter ON many parts of the coast.
Huge species of alligators are found
in the underbrush, and reptiles abound
in great numbers. Bird life, however,
is scarce, and there are but few cattle
and horses on the island.
There are about 5000 natives on zap
kindly, industrious and peaceable
folk. They are very dark in color
and speak quaint dialect.
The consul, in conclusion, makes q
statement which bears no little signi
ficance and treats of subject which
may cause no small friction with the
Germans, who even now are none toe
friendly toward our country and the
policy of our government in the His
pano-American war. German traders
have spent vast amount of labor ane
money in the last few years in build
ing up trade in and about the Caro-
lines. The Isle of zap is rich in pro
duction of cocanuts the kernal OF in
side of which, when dried, is calle'
l copra and is the chief article of ex
port. Any interference with the trade
which has been greatly stimulated b,
the labor of the Germans, would I'm
mediately be met with protest fror
s the German government, and consider
able discussion, if not serious trouble
s might follow.
}, The principal town of the island i
s Tomil, which, the consul writes
r would make an excellent coaling stt
t tion.' 1t is at present garrisoned b
