kentuckian Thought the Episcopal Pre-.
 late PfaIn Man

AAto mAa
 Not long ago Bishop Dudley of Ken lucky went to preach in little town in the western part of the state. where there are no Episcopal churches, and only one, in fact of any other denomi- nation. The people are unfamiliar with any but the plainest and most simple church service and entirely un- accustomed to the v0stments which the Episcopal clergy wear. The pastor of the "only church, "a good, conscientious narrow minded man, hearing that the bishop was coming on a certain Sun day to preach at the courthouse, told some of the pillars" Of his eongrega- ton that he hoped they would not de- sert their own church to hear the Episcopal service. On the appointed Sunday what was the pastors surprise to notice half of his flock absent, aud upon inquiry he learned that the court house was thronged with the villag- CTS. The next day he met one of his chief supporters, whose accustomed seat had been vacant at the weekly service, and the pastor questioned him as to his whereabouts on Sunday. The man replied that he had gone to hear Bishop Dudley. What" replied the clergyman. Desert me to hear that pompous prelate!" You're mistaken In the man." answered the culprit. Bishop Dudley is no pompous pre- late. He preached in his shirtsleeves. Louisville COurier-Journal

Irrigation in Siberia.

If the winters are long in Siberia, and very cold, on the other hand, the summers are extremely warm and dry. The small streams of water dry up dur ing this season, and agriculture suffers much from this state of things. To remedy the evil, the inhabitants of certain districts in winter collect the snow and accumulate it at the bottom of some narrow valley. They press it and make it compact so that it will be more resistant to thawing At the end of the winter they cover the enormous piles which they have thus formed with branches, straw or earth in order to protect the snow against the rays of the sun and the exterior heat. Then, when after long days without rain the water of the streams begin to dry up, the snow in spite of it's covering, commences to melt. and by means of ditch made for this purpose, the water which runs down supplies the river un- til the return of winter.

Interestlng InformatIon of St. Helena

Interesting Information of St. Helena
 There is some interesting information on St Helena in an article which the governor of that colony, MT, Stern dale. has contributed to the current number of the "Aslatic Quarterly Re- view The tenacity of official tradi- ton is illustrated by the fact that even now, nearly eight years after the death of the great Napoleon, he must never be referred to as Emperor. This is a survival of the strict rule of Napoleons gaoler, Sir Hudson Lowe. Once, in dispatch to the Colonial Office, Mr. sterndale did style Napoleon Emperor, and his attention was drawn to the in- adyertenee by an official The house in which MT sterndale wrote his ar tiele contained number of relics of the captive Emperor, including Na- neleon's bookcase and cabinet

Island of Panay, are that the American
troops have been moving nOrthward and
westward for several days, and that de-
tachments of the Sixth Eighteenth and
Twenty-SiXth regiments have been active,
near their stations. The insurgent losses
during the last ten days there have been
killed and 10 taken prisoners. The
Americans have lost 2 killed and 3
wounded. Large numbers of the natives,
however, are swearing ALLEGIANCE to the
United States.
In. several, recent attacks and expetfi-
lions in Southern Luzon the insurgents
have lost s killed and wounded and
about 20 captured.
The Americans have lost killed and
wounded.
Gen. Wheaton reports that 43 natives
have entered Calanao for registration.
Most of the time of the Philippine com
mission is now devoted to the tariff bill.
Judge Taft said today that generally
speaking the new rates would be about
40 per cent of the existing rates.
ct will be essentially a tariff for
revenue he remarked, but some of the
industries already established will be
given protection The commission is not
considering the question of the constitu-
tionality of taxing United States pro-
ducts. The precedents have been estab
lished in the cas6' of Porto Rico and by
the military government of the Philip
pines The bill requires the washing
of cotton goods so as to eliminate the
clay used by European manufacturers,
which increases the weight. This will
incidentally favor American goods. The
rate on kerosene will be reduced from
lie gallon to DC. Some of the American
products will be admitted free, and al
most all will come in at reduced figures"
