not afford to go to the theater or the

Sundays We went to the most beau

CHURCH SMOKING.
Instances in Which the Practice Has
Been Authorized.

Although not exactly popular GUS
tom, smoking in churches has been
and is more largely INDUCED in than
is generally supposed. The custom Is
Dutch, that people icing most inveter-
ate smokers and rarely seen without
their pipe. They even indulge it, it
in their churches, and spittoons are fire.
quently provided for the better accom-
mediation Of those members of the con-
gregation who cannot deny themselves
the enjoyment of a smoke. A similar
practice exists in several churches in
South America. Smoking in churches
in this country is said to have been
prevalent in the last years Of the six
tenth and the beginning of the seven-
teenth century. At one time smoking
was carried to such an excess in Seville
Cathedral that the Chapter applied to
the Pope for power to repress the
abuse. Urban VIII, yielding to their
wish, issued bull. which was pro-
mulgated on January 30, 1912. In
Wales smoking in church was INDUCED
in as late as 1850. In one church the
communion table stood in the aisle,
and the farmers were in the habit OF
putting their hats upon it, and when
the sermon began they lit their pipes
and smoked, but without any idea Of
irreverence. 1t is also stated that
when the Archbishop Of York was on
a visitation in st. Mary's, Nottingham,
he ordered some of his attendants to
bring him pipe, tobacco and some
liquor into the vestry for his refresh
ment after the fatigue Of confirmation.
but the rector would not allow it to
be done. 1t was reported recently that
at a Presbytery meeting in Scotland an
adjournment was made to the church
yard, where all the members lighted up
their pipes and had smoke before
returning to their deliberations.

LITTLE BLACK IMPS.

Back In Berlin the name of Max
Hertzer had been Of some account. He
was, to begin with, a Hertxer, which
meant much. AS a matter Of course,
he was an officer In the army-his SIS
ters had starved themselves for his
commission and maintenance-and he
was handsome, even for German ON
Ger. Unfortunately for him, he sang
the love songs of his country, and they
are quite the most moving songs In
the world. They move the singers as
well as the listeners. They moved
Hertzer, and on one night In particu-
lar when he was hidden to the house
of certain titled lady he was so lifted
out of himself by the charm of his
music that he proposed to an American
girl who was present, and to his start
led dismay, he was accepted.
It was a misfortune, for he was not
in sympathy with the American point
of view, he did not like the insistence
and intellectual arrogance of Ameri-
can women, and he had quite made up
his mind to marryfa senseless and we'll
born fraulein who did neat work and
went to kaffee klatsches. He almost
loved her, she was so nondescript, and
would be we'll content to make harm
less background of herself for his bene-
fit. Moreover, in spite of all his vanity,
he was rather soft-hearted, and 1t hurt
him to think how many tears would
bedew those soft blue eyes when she
heard of his engagement to the Ameri-
can girl.
The American girl had, moreover,
been known to do things which were
shocking. She had gone shopping
about the streets of Berlin unaccom-
panied, she had once used slang before
a Weimar professor Of philosophy, and
she had been heard to say that she did
not like the shape of the emperor
nose. She was not known to be rich
even, which is the only excuse that an
American girl has for living, and 1t
was said she made some serious mis-
takes in her Interpretation of the Fifth
Symphony.
Yet he married her. And they went
to America.
''It is just as WE'LL" said his friends,
sadly. Really, you know, it is all over
with poor Max"
They felt that he was as good as
dead.
1t was dull in America. Well, New
York wasn't so bad, perhaps, but the
other towns-bah! There wasn't a
true city among them. 1t didn't count
for man to be anybody. No one paid
any attention to Max because he was
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-03-16

the delight of knowing that dull. a;h-
ing heads became clear, that heavy
eyes grew bright, that dropping spirits
regained their tone. and lost appetltes
returned.
Then, in spite Of my husbands prot
estations, I went in search Of man
with money to invest, and found one
"a young Irlshman with patrimony
and no vocation. He was one of those
singularly alert young men who de-
velop from his race after two genera
tions in America, and he believed in
advertising with fanatical intensity.
He caused packages OF "McMahan's
Tea" to be thrown at nearly every
door in the city.
I'm short time," said he, I'VE shall
see that at least package is left
semi-annually at every door in the
United States"
1t may seem curious, but returns be-
gan TO come in almost Immediately. 1t
seemed like a sort OF commercial mir
acle. In short time Jay deserted his
electrical experiments. We needed
him for an overseer, having more peo-
pie to manage than we could see to
without his assistance.
You know what has followed. You
know that of all the great villas that
pay tribute to the lovelness of the
California climate there is none larger
nor more beautiful than ours.
You know that in memory Of dear
Nancy McMahan 100 orphan children
live here in home on our ranch at
our expense, and have the best in
Struction we can procure for them. We
are, indeed, rich beyond our dreams OF
wealth, as Nancy prophesied. And
we do not find our wealth burden.
What we cannot we'll invest or use we
give away. If We sometimes lose we
are not distressed. For does not our

AND INVENTION.
To Prevent Fraud In Liquids-Fire-

Asbestos and It's Usea.

Asbestos is remarkable as an exam
pl3 Of substance, long regarded as
economically valueless, suddenly TAX
int' its place among minerals Of COM
mercial Importance, and rapidly COM
ing Into use, until Its production ranks
as a staple branch of the industries Of
this country. Asbestos Is fibrous
variety of the mineral actinollte, and
consists essentially of oxide Of iron,
alumina, magnesia, silica and water,
and in appearance has silky, vitreous
luster, while its indestructibility by
fire forms the leading characteristic
on which. is based the commercial and
unitarian value of the substance UNI
der consideration The mineral Is wide
ly distributed. the two principal sources
of commercial Importance being Italy
and Canada; that derived from the
former country being the most valu-
able and being distinguished from
other varieties by its brownish tint.
The process in vogue for the manu-
facture of raw asbestos into the varl-
Gus articles for which it Is now en-
ployed may be briefly summarized. Ar
rived in bags weighing from one to
two hundredweight, the Jumps Of crude
asbestos are put through an ingenious
crushing machine, whose rollers have
a parallel motion in addition to their
rolling action over each other. This
action effectually opens out the fibers,
which are then boiled in large tanks.
The shorter fbers, having been ground
down and reduced to pulp, are con-
verted into asbestos millboard by ma
nipulation on gauze netting, a process
familiar to all persons who have visit
ed paper mills and witnessed the man
ufacture of ordinary paper. Asbestos
millboard forms a valuable packing
for engines, while its non-conducting
properties render it serviceable on
electrical work. A bare enumeration
of the many purposes to which asoes-
tos Is now devoted would form FOR
midable list: Packing" for all classes
of machinery, ropes, fire escapes and
firemens clothing, furnacemen's gloves,
fre-proof putty, sheeting, boiler and
steam pipe covering, millboard Tor
every purpose, cloth for filtering ACIDS
and other similar uses; for covering
rollers in print works where aniline
dyes are employed, and it is necessary
to resist heat and the action OF The
acids; for flooring and wallfelt, more
especially in imber-built houses; as a
lubricant for every class of engine
portable fire-proof safes, lamp shades
and variety of other articles,in which
the fire and heat resisting properties
of the substance under consideration
render it of especial value.
