lex Temple, ID. D., and the bishop of
London, Right Rev. A. Il. w. Ingram,
ID. d., sent friendlJ messages, the
archbishop of Canterbury praying
that uod's blessing may rest on the
deliberations. The bishop of London
sent a similar message, but adding
the hope that some day the Meth
odists will be reunited with the Epis-
copalians.
American delegates from southern
states left the hall when Bishop Wal
tiers made plea for the colored race.
The representation, which is on q
basis of one delegate to 10000 nem-

Canada 800 out of the 500 delegates
composing the council. The chair

Perpetual Motion.

As is generally known. a perpet
ual motion machine is one to be
moved by power furnished by the
machine itself and not from any
source outside of it. A mill or a
clock run by the incessant rise and
fall of the tide is not perpetual mo-
ton; neither is a machine that
runs by the power of terrestrial or
other magnetism OF of the wind or
of variations in the weight of the
atmosphere or by electricity coming
from outside of the machine OF by
the force of heat coming from the
sun. A wheel that could always of
itself keep more weight at one side
than the other and thus turn so
long as its materials lasted would
be perpetual motion, and such has
been the form of most of the ma
chimes invented for the purpose.

His Apoioov.

Once two gentlemen attended a
temperance meeting and, on return
ing home by a dark and narrow
lane, were thrown out of their con-
veyance. The incident was report
ed in the local paper and the ac-
count closed with the words, 'For-
tunately, both men were sober"
The editor received an angry let
ter from one of the gentlemen con-
cerned, with request for an apol-
ogy. He was equal to the occasion.
"1n our account of the unfortunate
accident to Messrs. -" wrote the
editor, "we stated that fortunate
ly both men were sober. II appears
this statement has given great of
Tense. We therefore beg to with
draw it."

RIdlnQ a Camel.

DR.. Nachtigal, the celebrated
African explorer, was once the guest
of rich Hamburg merchant. The
merchants son, young man of a
somewhat sentimental tempera-
ment, said, among other things,
that his dearest wish was to ride
across the desert on the back of a
camel. He thought such a ride
must be very poetic indeed
'My dear young friend" replied
the explorer, 81 can tell YOU how
you can get a partial idea of what
riding a camel on the deserts of
Africa is like. Take an Office chair,
screw it up as high as possible and
put it in a wagon without springs
then seat yourself on the stool and
have it driven over rocky and un-
even ground during the hottest
weather of July or August after you
have not had anything to eat or
drink for twenty-four hours, and
then you will get a.faint idea of
how delightfully."- poetic it is to ride
on camel in the wilds of Africa"

The easso and the Klnq.

1t is related of Sigpor Bagagiolo,
whose big bass voice used to sound
generously at Covent Garden many
years ago, that once when he was
supposed to be representing the
king in Hamlet" he was urged by
an intelligent stage manager to eX-
hibit some signs of terror. He de-
clined on the ground that it would
be undignified in a king to be afraid
of anything and continued to COM
port himself with a wooden stolid-
ity which, as his explanation SEEM
ed to show, was intended for a regal
bearing.
On the operate stage there are
not few vocalists with no more
idea of Interpreting character than
was possessed by the good humored
bass, and there is reason to believe
that for this cause a good many
regular visitors of the opera houses
have but a very faint idea of the
plots of many well known works.

vIRGINIA'S GOOD CREDIT.

Last week, for the first time prob
ably since the of reconstruction, u
Virginia security sold on the open
market Ut 100 cents on the dollar.
Virginia Century bonds brought 100
In Richmond, IS against so cents on
the dollar less than ten years ago.
Speaking of this spendid rise aud
OF the consequent renewed faith in
the States credit, Mr.. John l.. Will
hams, Il Sons, Richmond, says:
Citizens of Virginia rote with q
great deal of pride and satisfaction
the prices ut which State of Virginia
bonds are now selling. The Virginia
Century or per cent. bonds, W hich
i've years ago sold around so, are to-
day quoted IT 100. United States
Government 3's are only quoted at
9 points above State of Virginia
per cent. bonds. This, of
course, indicates the highest cred
1t for the State. 1t is = we'll known
fact that debt held at home is the
safest debt and one surest to be paid
tnat can be held at all.
"Virginisns have been steadily in
vesting In their own State bonds from
the date of their issue, until now
probably rs to 80 per cent. of the en-
tire issue of Virginia Century bonds
have been returned to this State from
England, Holland, and New York,
where formerly they were so largely
held.
"Of course rise from so to 100 in
five years means that the conserva
tive investors of 1896 have not only
gotten 2 and 3 per cent interest on
their money over all taxes, but they
have made profit of 100 on their
Virgins bonds which they have held
from 1896 to 1901. The increase
In the value of State bonds is q proof
OF the fact that the citizeus of the
State at large have been enjoying
their full! share of the era of prosper
ity which has blessed the country in
the past four years and there Is no
portion of the United States which
has shown more healthy development
than the State of Virginia"
Mr.. Williams might also have sd :
ded that the improved credit of the
State 10 evidence of wise and honest
administration of public affairs these
past fifteen or twenty years; and that
investors have full confidence in q
continuance of good government in
Virginia.

SIGNS ON WAGON ROOFS.
One Modern Wrinkle That Came with
the Building OF Flats.


the Building Of Flats.
"When fats began to multiply"
said a man who lives in one and so
naturally takes notice of things as
ISOLATED with them, "the owners of
delivery wagons and so on began
having signs painted on the roofs of
their wagons to catch the eye of
those who dwelt in homes above the
street level. They painted these
signs first with the name one letter
under the other, like a spine,
straight down the middle of the
wagon top from end to end. Some
times they painted the name in the
same location, but with the letters
arranged in the ordinary way, this
making sign that could be easily
read from one side of the street
only. Then they took to painting
the name on the wagon roof in two
places along either side of the top,
near the edge. Thus painted, one
or the other, of course, could easily
be read from either side of the
street.
''In wagon roof lettering the lat
est thing have seen was on the top
of moving van, whose entire roof
was covered with lettering, in lines
placed crosswise to the top and be-
ginning at the forward end and run
ming, line under line, clean back to
the rear end, so that the vans ex-
tensive roof as you looked down up
on it was lettered like great poster,
and, of course, this was not done
idly, for the van is a vehicle that
may stand backed up for an hour or
two in front of a house, and the
poster on it's roof is then brought
where it can be easily read by every
body in the air, along that side Of
the street any way."-New York
Sun.

Assemblymsn II. y. Jordan of Fred
erIck county, IN q letter published
recently, gives some interesting facts
aud figures, as follows
The Valley is highly honored and
favored with both officers aud insti-
tutlons of the State, having a suffic-
lent number to be nearly equal in
this perquisite aud emOlument to
those Of all the rest of the State.
"Slnce 1878 Virginia has had Eve
Democratic governors. Holiday and
O'Ferrsll were born in Frederick
county, and the present incumbent
is from the Valley.
he Valley now has the governor,
lieutenant governor, Mr.. Echols; the
treasurer, Mr.. Hartman; the commits
sIOner of agriculture, Mr.. Koiner,
aud registrar of the land Office, Mr.
Richardson. These are FIVE of the
highest State officials, and carrying
an annual appropriation in salaries
equal To all the rest of the State Off
Gers combined.
"We look on another page of our
auditors book and we see to the credit
Of this Valley the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind Institution, with an annual APP
preparation of $4,000; we see the
Western State Hospital, with an an
ual appropriation of $95,0OO; we see
the Southwestern State Hospital,
with $33,OOO; we see the Virginia
Military Institute, with $4,000; and
Blacksourg Institute, with $4,000;
total appropriation for two years,
1886, 900, or In round numbers equal
to about half of the appropriation of
the entire State for such institutions
and charitable purposes. In other
words. twenty Valley counties receive

eighties counties of the State com
blned.

will find q United States Senator,

roads, commissioner of agriculture
and lieutenant-governor.
1--WE also find in q small circum-
ference the Western State Hospital,
the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute,
the Virginia Military Institute, and
the University of Virgins. These
institutions carry an appropriation
of $4,000 from the State, besides
the enormous amount of funds
brought into this small region of our
State by pay patrons of the insane

Hurkamp's Horses at N. Y. Show

MIR. Charles Ii. Hurksmp, of Am-
aret and Boscobel Stock Farms,
Fredericksburg, Va, exhibited three
horses Ut the New York Horse Show
and won $6UO III prizes. His stable
consisted OF KiElOch, chestnut geld
ing, by OrdwAy, dam by KING Bolt;
the noted hlgn jumper Amaret sou
of Young Brennan aud u mare by SnI
lob, aud the big roam geldIug Horn
pipe, by Young Sanford, the son OF
Lexington. KInloch WAS first In the
mlddle-weight hunter class, second
In the ladies hunter class aud again
tirst in the middle-weight champion
ship. HOrnpibe Was awarded the re
serve to the championship in the
heavy weight hunter class, but it
WAS thought that the reserve itself
should have been rendered the sturdy
roam that figured first ut this show
in 1900 In the class for ladies' hunt
ers. Amaret, who made such q fav
Orable impression and became 50
popular 1T the Richmond Horse Show,
easily winning the high jump at six
feet, one aud u half inches, owner up,
WAS not on his good behavior ut New
York and sulked ut both the high
jump and those at Eve to six feet.
He was exhibited In four classes ana
stood third and fourth In two of them.
At the New York Show, as here. Mr..
Hurkamp refused some tempting of
fers for the slashing big bay gelding
and still regards him as the greatesL
jumping horse in America or Europe.
During the Horse in New York
Mir. Hurksmp sold Kinloch for n
stiff price to Mr. Alexander Brown,
and in this highly-formed. handsome
chestnut gelding that gentleman Sc
cured a real gem-one of the best
horses ever sent out from Virginia.
whose home bred hunters and imp
ers are regarded with great favor
wherever that clase of horses are
known.

The Bell.

1t is not alone the composition
which determines the quality of a
bell; very much depends upon its
shape. Moreover, the proportions
between its height, width and thick
ness are all to be taken into consid-
Grafton. The dimensions, roughly
stated, which are deemed to be the
best for large bells are one-ffteenth
of the diameter in thickness and
twelve times the thickness in height.

mills as to the amount of stock owned by northern investors. It was found that less than per cent, was owned outside the State, and that more than half the mills were actually managed by their owners. The proportion of outside capital has since that time ma terally increased by reason of the fact that the Goulds own large proportion of the stock of the new million dollar mill at Gastonia, and a few other in- vestments have been made by New England capitalists; but the proportion owned outside the State is still very small. In the field of furniture mak- ing practically all the factories were built by local capital, and are operated under the supervision of their owners.
 This is expansion, and expansion of the right kind. Great changes are talk ing place in the South.

EOOTRALL IN CHIC1G0.

Things are rather quiet in football there is a lively time in Chicago over the celebration of Thanksgiving by the football representatives of four Chris tian universities. The University of Chicago and the University of Wiscon- sin are to play in Chicago on Thanks giving day So are the University of Michigan and the University of Iowa, disregarding an energetic protest from the athletic authorities of the Univer- sity of Chicago The Michigan Iowa committee have replied to this protest in card to the public. They say they tried to arrange things so that it would be possible for anyone wishing to see both the Thanksgiving Day games to do so. but Stagg got in the way They find the explanation of Stagg's attitude in the fact that the tickets for their game are in brisker public demand than the tickets for his game They remind him that the University of Michigan was playing football in his city before the University of Chicago was born He has no more right" they say, ''to object to the Michigan game than Columbia has to game between Princeton and Yale or Harvard and Princeton in New York city, and it is well known such games were played there for a long series of years.
 We hope this controversy will not persist until Thanksgiving Day. If should be played in Christian spirit.

When Aaby Trays.

When baby by her crib at night Enfolds her little hands to pray Dear little hands so soft and white ] listen while the sweet lips say:
 Now l ay me down to s'eep,
 l pay the Lord my soul to teep;" And, listening, years are backward rolled, The past is as a tale untold. And, standing by my mother mild Dear mother with her hair so white Again l am little child, And say again, as yester night:
 If l s'ould die before l wate,
 l pay the Lord my soul to tate;" And half 1t seems in baby's plea The olden faith comes back to me. Ah me. know my faith is but phantom of the long ago; Yet when my babe, with eyelids shut, Repeats the words l used to know.
 Now l 'ay me down to s'eep,
 l pay the Lord my soul to Keep" Someway, someway. the world doubts flee, The old, sweet faith comes back to me. It comes again, the old, sweet faith; It is my own, it Is my own. And doubt has fled, the gloomy wraith Before q baby's words alone:
 If l s'ould die before l wate,
 pay the Lord my soul to tate:" So for baby's lisping plea, My thanks dear Lord, my thanks to Thee.
