NOpeCldl Letter.
One Of the most interesting religious
buildings in the United States is the
Bruton Parish Church, at Williams
burg, Va, the first pastor of which was
Rev. Rowland Jones, an ancestor OF
Martha Washington. Erected in 1910.
1t is now in good state of preserva-
ton, and the antique bell still rings
out its message, calling all who hear
1t to attend divine services beneath its
time-honored roof. Bruton Old Church
is well worth visit.
The church has a triple-story
tower of which our English colonies
were so fond. 1t can still boast OF ma
hogany pews. The aisles were paved
with flag stones. On the walls are
some quaint mural tablets reciting the
virtues and piety of worthless of the
old dominion. Williamsburg was the
ancient capital of Virginia and in the
quiet churchyard of Bruton Old Church
the tombs of the Parke Gusts family
ginia names of Page, Burwell, Lyttle-
ton, Savage and Nelson are found.
Bruton Parish Church houses three
antique communion services. one pre-
sented by good Queen Anne" who
did her duty as defender of the faith
by equipping infant colonial branches
of the Church of England with eccle-
siastical silver. A second communion
service was bestowed upon the parish
by George III, but the most interest
ing of the three is the venerable set
known as the old jamestown service.

Material Objects Trans united to tho

The Chinese believe that the souls
of the departed continue in conscious
existence after death and that their
happiness or misery is caused by the
location of the grave and the offerings
made by their surviving relatives. The
common faith is that in the other
world the spirits needs are essentially
those experienced in this life. The
dead are supposed to be wholly de-
pendent upon the living for food.

thought to be rendered invisible and

for this pious holocaust. The i'm
portant feature of the funeral is a
procession, in which the articles are
exhibited, followed by bonfire in
which all are burned, that thus they
may be changed into similar articles

ANTIPATHY TO SOAP.

Suds.

Geysers Rebel When Required to Make
Suds.
Some few years ago an unfortunate
discovery for time menaced the
tranquility and almost the existence
of some of the geysers in Yellowstone
park. The story goes that an adven.
turous Chinaman once essayed to use
the bowl of one of the geysers for the
purpose of washing clothes, the tenn
perature of the water appealing to his
oriental mind. Everything went well
until he began to use soap, when sud-
denly violent eruption seized the
apparently innocent geyser, hurting
clothes and all into the air. The ex-
pertinent was tried on other geysers
with similar results. and for time
ii was considered a good blessing, as,
when large tourist parties arrived, IL
was great convenience to bring on
a special display by "soaping the gey-
SER" as it was called; while before
the advent OF the Chinaman and his
soap, some of the most beautiful gey-
sers often remained stubbornly mac
tive for days and often weeks and
months. After a time, however. it
was discovered that this soaping was
slowly but surely harming the geyser
action, firing them out" in fact, and
thereupon the government put a stop
to the use of soap in the park in con-
nection with the geysers,-From

SUPPLY OF IRON.
World Consumes About 10000, 900 Tons
Year.

Year.
A good deal of anxiety has been felt
during the last two years as to the
available supplies of iron ore and fuel.
The total worlds consumption of iron
ores in 1899 was probably more than
10000 900 tons. OF this quantity the
United States contributed more than
22,O00,O00 But in all countries alike
exceptional efforts were made to in
crease the output so as to overtake the
greatly stimulated demand. These eff
forts are still being continued, says the
Engineering Magazine. Spain has
been ransacked from one end to the
other. in order to increase the avail
able supplies. France is opening up
new sources of supply in Greece, North
Africa and elsewhere. The Germans
have sought to acquire almost a mon
opoly of the supply of Swedish Lap
land-within the Arctic circle-for a
number OF years to come, and have
concluded arrangements which point
to their belief that iron ores are likely
to become increasingly scarce. This Is
a general apprehension, and IL it is
justified by the facts, then it seems to
be probable that this condition may
mainly determine future supremacy.
Nine. de Stael once observed that
Providence fights on the side of the
biggest battalions. In the war OF COM
merce and industry 1t is conceivable
that Providence may in future seem to
interpose on behalf OF the nation that
has the largest available supplies Of
cheap iron ores.-Chicago Record.

CHAPTER VIII.

Adrienne Breynton sat alone in her
dainty boudoir. 1t was July now, and
the dead season in Cairo. Shepherds
was deserted. No longer gay English
and American tourists made the ball
rooms and the verandas ring with
their chatter and laughter.
Adrienne's beautiful face was paler
than usual. She looked like one who
had received heavy blow. So, in
deed, she had. Adrienne did not con-
.ceal the truth from herself.
Only week ago the Anglo Egypt
ian troops, flushed and triumphant
with their victory at Atbara, had
marched into Cairo to the sound OF
victorious music, blaring trumpets and
screaming pipes. The colonel, Adrl-
enne's brother. had come to her for
congratulation. and had found her like
a ghost, pale and wan.
you are Ill, Adrienne," he said,
anxiously. when the first greetings
were over. This climate is begin

quivering.

"Ay, that Is true" said the colonel,

desire q better. A thousand times
better tnan to be taken prisoner;
that's the fate man breads. And that
reminds me there's one poor fellow
whose fate may have been that for all
