A man out of work, without money
and without food for his family, ap.
piled not long since to the Rev. DIR.
George s. Anderson, pastor of the
Highland Avenue Congregational
Church, Of Somerville, Mass. His
case touched the clergyman's heart.
Investigation proved the mans tale of
woe to be true. Then he conceived
the idea of establishing n wood yard
on n small scale. Several cords of
wood were purchased and piled up in
the big basement of the church. Men
out of work and seeking employment
We're invited to come to the chopping
block.
The plan proved a success. For
every foot of scantlng sawed the man
with the saw received twenty cents.
Two feet, or a quarter of a cord,
sawed and split. making five sugar
barrels full, netted the worker ninety
cents. This was considered n fair
days work.
-Four of these barrels of kindling arc
sold for 81. Members of the church
buy them. This pays the first cost of
the scantlings and the labor besides.
No profit is made. The benefit of the
deal goes to the man who works.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

According to the Japan Times new
island has been discovered in the Sea
Of Japan. From a statement appearing
in the Nichi Nichi it appears that the
island is situated at point between
Ul-long-do Island, off Korea, and the
Oki Archipelago. off the coasts Of the
San-in-do, the distance from either
s, e being 80 miles. No maps ever pub
lished contain any refernce to the ISL
and, which is reported to be about two
miles in length and about the same
in breadth. 1t was about year or two
ago that the island was first discovered
by fisherman Of Kyushu, who found
the waters in its neighborhood full of
sea horses.

which 1000 acres are in New England.
The annual yield of all kinds in the

which New England raises 19,0O0,000
The average yield per acre throughout
the country is 700 pounds, but in New

According to a government publica-

olate is manufactured is produced in
its finest form in the republic of Ven
ezuela, though various other parts of
Central and South America grow and
export large quantities. Two crops OF
the bean are gathered each year, and
the manufacture consists simply in
grinding up the beans into a meal and
then adding sugar and arrowroot, with
the necessary fiavor--generally vanil-
la or cinnamon. The mass is then
moistened until 1t is in a semi-fuid

Modern China Mono o-ramA.

Much of the handsome china used
nowadays is marked with the mono
gram or crest of the owner. 1t is a
distinctive mark that differentlates
the china from all other ware, and the
lettering Is an ornament in itself. 1t
is usually the more simple china that
it ornamented in this way, and an at
tempt is being made always to put the
lettering upon the side or wing Of a
plate, as the professional will say, to
prevent wear. Old-time china was
frequently marked in the centre Of the
plate, and the marking was worn away
by the knife and fork.
In some instances entire sets of china
for different courses are marked, and
always each piece of dish-the cover,
the dish itself, and, If a soup tureen,
the piece upon which 1t rests. The let
ters for the marking are always the in
itials of the mistress of the house and
are put on in script in preference to
the block letters. The lettering is usu-
ally in gold, but occasionally one let.
ter will be put in in color and the oth-
ers in gold.-New York Times.

There was once q fisherman. And
Of course he went a-hshing, for no one
expects fisherman to go out shoot
ing rabbits. And he caught two little
fish, and they were so small that he
threw them back again. And he went
home without any, and did not stop
at the fishmongers to buy large ones.
And his wife said to him: where are
the large fish," and he said: "There
are none" And she said: "And where
is the lie about the twelve-pound
troutT' And he said: IL have not
one" Then his wife said: IL do not
believe you have been fishing at all,
but have been to the races and .lost a
lot of money and are afraid to tell me.
| think 1t is cruel, and l shall go home
to mother" And she wept for long
time, and was only persuaded by a
diamond ring that he was telling the
truth.
Moral.-A fish lie is cheaper than
the necessary truth.-The King.
