The sexton carries regular month
ly account with his wholesaler and
gets commission of 20 per cent for
his share. For opening the church he
receives a fee. For digging the grave
the charge is generally SO, of which
the sexton gets one-half. Thus he Is
enabled to conduct an undertaking
business at liberal profit without the
risk of maintaining an establishment
and is at the same time sure of fur
nishing work of the first-class. The
profit from this source to the sextor
Of one large downtown church is esti
mated at $4,000 annually. The more
fashionable the church the larger the
profit.
In one respect the sexton is like thu
corner grocer. Both find cause fol
complaint in tardy payments and baf
credits. Said one sexton: THE un
dertaker of small church has to be 2
genius IL he makes any money. HI!
people are slow TO pay, and ii is FIRE
quently a hard matter to mention the
subject of credit. The sexton mus
pay his wholesaler promptly, and un
less he has "A comfortable bank accoun

There are other duties devolving OF

The collection of pew rents is some

SOLD ARMS TO SPAIN.
But They Dare Not Press Their Claim
For Debt.

There are lot of queer inside stor-
les connected with the war;" said
visitor in the lobby of hotel, "but
think can tell the very oldest of the
lot. l don't care TO call any names,
but the facts are these: Late last
summer a certain manufacturing con-
cern, one of the biggest in its line In
the world, received quite large order
from the Spanish government for sup
plies to be sent TO Cuba. There was
nothing remarkable in this, because
Spain was at that time a liberal Gus
toner in the American market, but IL
already owed a pretty good stiff bill TO
the house in question, and there was
some doubt about filling the last requi-
sition. However the stuff was finally
sent on promise of 90-day settlement
in full. This was In September, 1897"
relates the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
when the 90 days elapsed small
payment was made and the balance
promised directly after New Years.
Some time in January there was an
other small payment and another big
promise. On February 10. as you may
happen to recall, the Maine was blown
to smithereens in Havana harbor, and
in the swift succession OF events that
followed the bill was simply ignored
by the Spanish authorities. That. very
briefly, is the commercial history OF
the case. and the house now finds
itself in peculiar predicament.
at is possible that ii might get its
money by an appeal to the president
but as most OF the stuff furnished to
the dons was used as munitions of
war against our own troops 1t is re-
luctant to make the claim for fear Of
exciting popular prejudice. The
amount involved runs away up into
the thousands, but they figure that il
would be more than offset by loss of
home trade. So they have concluded
to keep their mouths shut and charge
it to profit and loss. Funny situation,
isn't it? The facts are exactly as
have stated them"

1T WAS so EASY.
He Was Sorry He Did Not Rite the
Entire Distance.

Though elevators are not new, they
are new To whole lot Of persons. An
old fellow from somewhere is the eli
ent of lawyer who recently removed
his office from the first floor OF an old
building on Grant street 20 the thir-
teenth floor of modern office build
ing. The old fellow came in to see
him, and after much trouble found the
building. His legs were stiff and his
wind was short, but he started up the
stairs. By the time he reached the
fourth floor be declared that he would
take his business out of the hands OF
the man who was so unreasonable as
TO live SO high. He took a long rest
at the fifth flool and would have turn
ed back If 1t was ut that he wanted to
pay off his lawy,- that very day and
retain one with an, flee on the ground
floor. At the seventh floor he gave 1t
up. He couldn't go Luy higher. He
sat on the steps and " ltched the ele-
vators going up and doy n and noticed
that they were well fill d. He rea-
soned that since scarcely any person
used the stairway, the fare on the ele-
vator could not be high, and he could
hardly be accused of extravaganza if
he rode the rest of the way, since there
would be no necessity for him TO come
to the building again. SO he hailed
one of them.
How much'll you charge to take me
TO the thirteenth floorY' he asked the
young man who seemed to be in
charge.
Get in here" ordered the young fel-
low. as he seized him by the coat,
pulled him into the car. and started
up. II can't stand there answerin'
fool questions all day. Thirteen. Out
you go! Move lively, nowr
"H'much?' asked the old chap, un-
tying the shoe string that held his wal
let.
But the door was slammed in his
face and the car disappeared.
"Thunderation!" exclaimed the old
fellow; 'If I'd a known that | might
stole ride all the way up"
His lawyer explained the matter to
him, and while the old man thought II
was mighty handy, he said 1t looked
good deal like imposing on people tc

Two POsers.

Lewis Carroll, the author Of "Alice
in Wonderland" was fond of puzzling
his friends with curious problems. One
of them was the question, when does
the day begin?" If man could travel
around the world so fast that the sun
would always be directly above his
head and If he were TO start travelling
at midday on Tuesday, then in "a
hours he would return TO his original
point of departure, and would find that
the day was now called Wednesday
at what point of his journey would the
day change its name? The difficulty
Of answering this apparently simple
question has east a gloom over many
a pleasant party.
Another problem was as follows: A
rope is hung over a wheel fixed to the
roof of building; at one end of the
rope a weight is fixed, which exactly
counterbalances a monkey which is
hanging on the other end. Suppose
that the monkey begins TO climb the
rope, what will be the result? 1t is
very curious the different views taken
by good mathematicians. One says
the weight goes up with increasing We
locity; others that ii goes up at the
same rate as the monkey; while an.
other says it goes down.

We hope the society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty TO Animals will keen
an eye upon that electric table which
figured in the Westminster county
court yesterday. says the Westminster
Gazette. The table was made for a
dancing bear at the Royal AQUARIUM,
but dispute arose because the bear
master said the electric shocks were
not sufficiently strong to produce the
necessary movements on the part OF
the unfortunate beast. or course the
law, being "hass," will try to make
out that a dancing bear is not n do.
mestic animal. and is, therefore. not
entitled to protection; but if the animal

THE HOMES OF OUR POETS.
FAR FROM MADDlNG CROWDS

Most of Them Have Delightful Coun-
try Homes, In Which Beauty
and Comfort Are
Mingled.

Most poets, as is natural, have de
lightful country houses. "far from the
madding crowds ignoble strife"
where they can WOO the muses. under
the influence of all that is beautiful
in nature.
The most delightful one of these re-
treats is Swinford Old Manor, in the
heart of Kent, 'the garden of Eng
land" where the poet laureate spends
happy days. with its long gables,
deep-mullloned windows, and its rich
profusion Of vari-colored creepers, 1t
is an ideal poets home, which might
"stir clown TO verse"
1t was beautiful when first 1t burst
on Mr.. Austin's eyes. ''In its grey
stone frontage, almost smothered In
creepers TO the very top of It's rounded
gables" he writes, II recognized the
haven of my hopes and the fulfllment
of my most fastidious dreams" Since
then the poet has added further beau
" to the house, and has made it a
''poet's palace" inside and out. "The
garden that | love-" always beautiful,
he has fashioned into dream of vel
vet lawns, exquisite flower beds, and
''lovers' walks" which makes of it "A
small paradise.
Mr. Swinburne's Putney home can
boast little of the natural beauty or Sc
clusion of Swinford Old Manor, and is
such n house as any well-to-do city
man might choose for his home. Mr..
Swlnburne, however, can create his
own environment as he takes his lone
ly, distracted walks around Putney,
or shuts himself up with the books he
loves. 1t is little strange that poet
who might make his home in the sun

TOOK HIS ADVICE.
a VETERINARY SURGEON OF BATTLE CREEl
TELLS ABOUT 1T.


How many times in life few words of
good advice, coming from friend one
can depend upon, will save us hours,
perhaps months of misery. The follow
ing, coming from Battle Creek, will in
terest our readers. DIR. Oliver Guiteaux,
veterinary surgeon of that city, we'll
known man there, as well as in Kalama-
zoo and Marshall speaks of his exper-
fence with the little. conqueror and the
result of few timely words of advice.
He says:
81 was standing in Amberg d Muir
phys drug store in Battle Creek one day,
when friend of mine came in and ask
ed for box of kidney pills. After he
had made his purchase, / said quietly to
him. you have made mistake in buying
those. His reply was, "How is that?"
| said, Doan's Kidney Pills, are worth all
the others put together. AS he wanted
my reasons for thinking so, told him
that my kidneys had bothered me for
years; that had nearly every symptom
to be found where the kidneys are af-
fected; that / had used remedy after
remedy, including box after box of the
one he just purchased and that until /
used Doan's Kidney Pills / might have
taken as many spoonfulls of water; in
fact, think some of them hurt me. A
couple of weeks after this / met him on
the street. when he said Doc, Doan's
Kidney Pills are just as you represented
After using the box about which we had
the conversation in Amberg & Murphy's
drug store, was as bad as ever, then
procured Doan's and stuck to their
treatment until they cured me-"

Americas wealth in Coal

mot many people," says coal
miner quoted by the Washington
Star, "are probably aware that the
coal mined in the United States annu-
ally Is worth more than three times as
much as the gold mined here. The
product Of the anthracite fields alone
exceeds in value the output of the gold
mines of this country. Canada and
Alaska, which last year amounted to
over $50,000,0O0 East of the Rocky
Mountains there are $4,000 square
miles of coal lands, and the yearly
output is nearly 200,000,00O tons.
Biologists estimate the great coal
fields of the world as follows: China.
100000; United States, east of the
Rockies, 10000; Canada, 65.OOO: In
dia, $4,000; New South Wales 24.OOO:
RUSSIA, 10000. and the United King
dom, 11,50O square miles. There are
many deposits in other countries. but
their extent is inconslderable. Eng
lands coal area is small: still she for
years produced more than any other
country. Now the United States is
ahead. English coal veins are thin;
one only II inches wide has been
worked l,2OO feet down. On the 9th
er hand, there are veins in the Penn
sylvania anthracite regions sixty feet
thick, and in the bituminous regions
eighteen feet thick. Our Appalachian
coal fields are the largest known. and
alone could supply the whole world for
centuries to come"
