the invitation was intended for her,
Jess jumped off the bench on which
she was sitting, trotted down the aisle
and, reaching the minister, stopped in
front of him, raised herself on her

man of God took no notice of the dog
but nearly every other person in the
house did, and the solmen and sublime

Asbestos Mining.

In Canada are a number of mines
where asbestos is produced, and one
of the largest of these is near Sher-
brooke, in Ontario. The serpentine
rock is mined in open quarries, and
after it has been carried to the surface
that bearing the asbestos is separated
from the barren material by hand
picking. At cobbing house the long
tibered asbestos is knocked off from
the serpentine by hand if the veins
are more than three-quarters of an
inch thick, but in the smaller pieces
this separation is made by machinery

AS is well known, P. d. Armour was

The week of prayer has had one fun

the Philadelphia Times. Jess, a pug
dog pet of T. R. Smoot, is responsible
for it. Jess frequently goes to church
with her mistress and among other
accomplishments she has been taught
the trick of sitting up and shaking
hands. Jess and her mistress were in
church, and the dog promptly curled
up and went to sleep. She was awak-

closing his sermon with beautiful
peroration, and besought those who

Huldah had the mixing all done and

noon Mrs. Best went to see how the

sponge that resembled half-worked
