of members Of the church. The SUCCESS
ton is to make the church the benefic-
larry of all the policies taken out.
Just yet no definite plan has been
adopted, but Mrs. Charles Wheeler, to
whom the rector, Rev. DR.. Alfred G..
Mortimer, submitted the idea, said last
night that something definite would be
done by next year
The idea was first advanced" added
Mrs. Wheeler, "by a woman life insur-
ance agent, one of the communicates
OF st. Marks. They were sent to me by
DIR. Mortimer, and 1 was asked to use
my efforts to induce the women in the
church to insure their lives for it's bene-
fit. The plans? Why, really I don't re-
member the details. There was some
thing to the effect that if all the fem
mime p~eWhOlders and the wives of pew
holders paid SIS a year the church would
soon have a wonderful sum, 1 don't k71ow
how much" H.4 I'D
Were the policies to be payable at
the death of the in%sured?" Mrs. Wheeler
was asked. %
well, I don't remember, but that
isn't likely. OF course, that might give
the church"too great a desire to get, rid
of it's insured women. No; it was to be
some sort of endowment. policy. rTrWe
probably will call a meeting of the 'wo-
men in the church and do something in
that direction" a.

HERRING SAVED QUEENS LIFE.

On the first trip of Queen Victoria to
Ireland she became very i'll with a bilious
attack. AS the royal party neared Dub
lin an old woman standing in a crowd
heard this. She quietly returned to her
cabin. Deity she placed an Irish her.
ring on the %smoldering COATS. Then she
raked a baked potato from among the
ashes. She scooped the mealy part upon
a secured wooden plate n added a lump
of butter and a seasoning of salt. Then
she boned the now cooked herring and
added it to the potato.
Running out she met the royal party.
So great was her insistance that h be
allowed to present the dish to the queen
she was permitted to approach the royal
carriage. With her fingers she ave the
queen a taste. Her majesty ate it, then
tok another bite, and finally ate it all
1t was the first food she had been able
to retain for several days. 1t saved her
life. ~
After Victoria's return to England she
sent a G5 note to the old Irish oma as
a mark of her gratitude.

BRIGHTER THAN HE APPEARED.

She was a pretty young typewriter n
he was from the country. Last night,
after he had brought her from church,
they were in the front room of the board
ing house talking.
"Do you write everything ~shorthand?"
he asked. after one of the frequent n
painful periods of silence.
"Oh, yes, everything" she answered.
LET me see you write something" he
said, drawing a notebook from his pocket.
Anything was better han those dreadful
moments of quiet, so she acquiesced.
"What shall I writer" she asked.
"Oh, I don't know. Write my name"
She did so.
"How long would It take you to write
lover"
"Oh,, not very long," said she. as with
a few movements of the pencil she put
down the characters.
Didn't AXE you long, did it?"
mo, not very long," she answered.
"Do you write you with one letter." he
asked her, after a pause.
IT do it like this" she answered, put
ting it down on the paper.
isn't it funny? Can you read what
you've written, n0w?"
'sWhy, of course I can"
Read 1t then, he said, as he drew closer
to her.
There is a lawyer in the city who will be
hunting for a new typewriter shortly.

MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.

Washington Correspondence New York
Sun: The doorkeepers Of the United
States senate come in contact with all
sorts and conditions Of men. When the
senate is in session there is an incessant
demand by constituents to have their
cards sent in. A strange l0king individual
who had been watching and listening in
the east corridor said to a doorkeeper
one day this week:
'I'd like to have you send in my card. -
(which senator do you wish to see"
ct don't care"
But you must send it to a particular
senator. you know. Which is your state?"
"Got none"
(Which territory?"

I'm No Mans Land, before the strip
was coded to the g~overnmentby Texas. It
is now a county in Oklahoma. And I
thought as I had no country I'd come and
hand 1t to the first senator you ketch. I
think most any Of 'em would like to meet
a man like me-"

Consul Liefeld. writing to the state de-
partment from Freiburg, Germany, tells
Of d new fireproof material coming into
use there. He says: 1-a.
LAS is we'll known, the substance usual
~ employed for the manufacture of fire
proof clothing. paper, theater curtains.
etc, is asbestos, a mineral s~ilicate, a
variety or hornblend which can be
woven or otherwise prepared. and is in
fusible at ordinary temperatures: hence
soiled articles made of asbestos need
only to be thrown into a fire to be clean
ed. Asbestos has, however,, several great
disadvantages, viz, it's high price and it's
great weight, the specific gravity being
about three.
"A new method has been introduced
here by which goods are rendered fire..
; proof when treated chemically by q very
quick process, which does not act on the
fiber, so the goods lose nothing in
strength. nor does the treatment in any
way affect the color or p%erceptibly in
crease the weight, and the advance in
the price Of the article is very little.
Il procured some samples and tried q
few experiments will cloth which had
been made fireproof by this new process,
and found that no flame or fire is p~o-
duced. as was the case with similar goods
which had not been so treated. Only
where the candle flame came in contact
L lAC " "oS NilC llpCI liz lCu, "
there was no spread of fire, and as soon
as the flames was move the charming
ceased. / poured some kerosene Oil on
a piece Of the cloth andignited it, the
Oil burned vigorously, but the G 10th WAS
simply charred where it had been soaked
with Oil, and there was no spread of fire.
A piece of wood wrapped in thick fire.
proof canvas was placed for a few mo
lnents on the redhot anthracite Goals of a
furnace, and when was found
to be uninjured, except where it had
been in direct contact with the coal.
There is n disadvantage connected
with this discovery which prevents the
use of these fire-proof articles for out
door purposes wiz, that water can dis
solve the chemicals and then the sub
stance is no lOnger tireproOf, but as s4ael
material can be washed and then rain,-
~pregnated very easily and cheaply, and
so again rendered incombustible, it would
seeem that this does not greatly depreei-
ate it's value. Steam and moisture do not
affect the freproof qualities, nor does the
! application of heat. 1t is also claimed
hat the manufactured articles is not in
the least poisonous.
IT have learned that the increase in
1 price to the consumer of the fireprOOf ar
ticle need not be more than about 3 cents
per square yard over that of the unin.-
pregnated, and in large quantities the diff
f%erenceS would be ever less, and the diff
ference in weight is such that a piece of
flag material weighing before treatment
$50 grams per square meter would weigh
after i~mpregnation from 14O to $50 grams,
which means only from 10 to 20 grams per
square meter more. If we consider 500
grams to the pound and one and one-fifth
square yards to the square meter, this
would mean an increase in weight of only
one pound for about every so square
yards of material. For other goods the
average increase might be ever less.
