RARE FEAT WITH A SAW.
Japanese Carpenter Cut Through
Beam With a Spike In It..

Japanese Carpenter Cut Through
Beam With a Spike In IT..
A Japanese carpenter at the exposi-
ton grounds in Buffalo the other day
astonished the orkmen Of other ma
tiona11ties by his skill with a saw. At
q few minutes after the noon bell had
rung a group Of brawnY American,
Scotch and Irish carpenters gathered
lear the japanese pavilion for lunch.
One of the little Jap workmen was so
busily engaged in finishing up a job
Of saving through a heavy beam that
be paid no attention to the bell. The
group at luncheon watched him with
much interest and suddenly set up a
howl Of laughter as they heard the IN
mistakable screech Of steel on steel,
showing that the little mans saw had
run against a spike.
The Jap paid no attention to the
laughter and also no attention to the
spike. He simply kept on saving, and
a few minutes later the beam fell to
the ground in two pieces. The men
Immediately rushed to the spot to ex-
anime the cut and found that the spike
had been cut through as Clearly as
with a cold chisel.
They examined the foreigners saw,
found that not a tooth was broken
nor a bit of edge dulled and then took
off their hats and gave three rousing
cheers for the nation that could bring
forth a bit of metal like that saw and
the mar with the skill to use it.

Tea Raising In South Carolina.

A company has been organized under
the laws of South Carolina for the pur-
pose of making the experiment Of tea
raising in that state, and a tract of
5000 acres has been purchased near
Charleston on which to begin the in
dustry this season.
Only about 1000 acres will be put i'm
mediately under cultivation, but the re-
mainder will be enriched, ready for
planting by next spring. Tea requires
an exceedingly rich soil, but there
seems to be no reason to doubt that the
conditions necessary to produce an ex-
cellent quality Of the leaf can be sup
piled by proper attention.
If the experiment proves successful,
the company will raise as much as
100000 pounds of tea per annum, and
so confident are they Of satisfactory
results that they are already negotiat-
ing fer the purchase Of additional
iands.-Atlanta Constitution.

MONKEY A. SOClAL FAD. IA
Little eimians VIII Take the Place
OF Pet

Little Gimians VIII Take the Place
of Pet Pood1es.
Society has become infatuated with
the monkey. Charming girls and staid
mesdames who would tremble at the
a.moo'' Of a cow do not hesitate to idol
lie the simian, because it is the newest
fad, says the Philadelphia Press. The
demand for monkeys has grown SO
great in Philadelphia that dealers are
unable to fill the orders, and prices
Jumped twice in two weeks. A promi-
nent dealer who declared the other day
that the demand for the animals was
unprecedented said: "I have sold all I
could get. If 1 had 500 more, I could
sell them within three hours"
This means that the Angora cat who
purred herself into popularity a few
years ago will now "meaw" herself
out, and the pet poodle is doomed to
whine unnoticed in the corner, while
mademoiselle monkey is hanging from
the chandelier by her tail and having
pink ribbons tied about her neck.
The craze, dealers say, will reach
amazing proportions at the seaside re.
sorts by the middle of June. Then the
summer girl who cannot boast of a
beribboned simian will get little con-
sideration from the swagger girls of
her set. Indeed the up to date young
man who watches the idiosyncrasies of
the upper set will wisely provide him.
self with a monkey too.
The marmoset, the smallest animal
Of the simian tribe, ranks first in
the esteem of the elite. This monkey is
small enough to be put into a mans
coat pocket, and after 1t has been
taught to smoke a cigarette and per-
form other tricks he is deemed sufh-
GENTLY cultured to be carried around
for the amusement Of friends. Other
monkeys thai are in demand are the
rdngtail and Java monkey.
Another dealer said that the monkey
fad would beat the craze for the
chameleon which swept the United
States some years ago.
1.-THE only difference" said he, els
that monkeys being costly the fad will
be confined pretty much to the well to
do classes" The craze has already
reached extensive proportions in Chi
cago. Meanwhile a fortune and the
eternal gratitude Of Miss Society
await the man who a get a ship
load Of monkeys up the Delaware in
double quick time.

Hunting wildcats in an automobile

Best Of San Leandro inaugurated this
form Of sport the other day. He took
a party of ten in his machine through
Gull canyon, with a pack of hounds
following. The huntsmen had great
sport, rounding up a dozen of the wild
cats during their days outing. The
party left early in the morning and
made a speedy run into the Businesses
OF the Contra Costa hills. The dogs
kept pace through bush and timber,
driving out the game, while the auto
mobile huntsmen brought down cat
after cat with their rifles as The
hounds freed the game. The sport
was pronounced a big success. There
was not a break in the trip, and it will

MISCELLANY
nm the Head of a Pin.

There is a man in Philadelphia who
wears a commonplace looking little pin
as a watch charm To the naked eye
It is not different from the millions
of other pins. Yet its head is a mas
terpiece of the engraver's art, for on
it is engraved the English alphabet in
old English lettering, and in the center
is cut the year when it was done,
1900.
The naked eye cannot distinguish a
scratch on the pins head, but a pow
erful magnifying glass, such as Is used
by q matchmaker, reveals the letters
Of the alphabet in proper order around
the edge of the head, every character
separate and perfectly formed.
There was on exhibition at the Paris
exposition last year a marvel of Hllt-
putian work, the writing of the LORDS
prayer on paper one-eighth Of an inch
square. This was done by Fred SWarts
Brink, a penman in Philadelphia. He
regarded it as the finest work of the
kind ever done, but when he saw the
engraving on the pins head he con-
fessed that he had been outdone. He
bought the work Of the engraver, Au-
gust Starcke, for q trife and recently
carried the pin to a jeweler and re-
quested a salesman to have It, gold
plated and q little ring soldered on the
body Of the pin, 30 that he could attach
It as a charm to his watch chain.
"Some sentiment connected with the
pin, chi" asked the salesman.
"None at ALL" replied the customer.
"Just look at the head through a
glass;"
The Jeweler did SO and then dtscov-
cred the alphabet. The engraver who
did the work spent n year at it, and
so tedious was it that he could only
work at it a few minutes at a time. y

Restricting Sale of Poisons.

No intelligent reader Of the newspa-
pers needs to be- told that poisons are
much too easily obtained by people
who make a harmful use Of them. In
connection with nearly every suicide
by poison the fact is developed that the
drug was obtained without difficulty,
and in q majority Of cases no questions
were asked. The laws should be sufh-
GENTLY stringent to make the purchase
of poison impossible without a physi-
clans prescription, and even Yin this
case no careful druggist will rely who'll
~ upon the prescription should there
be suspicious circumstances connected
with the purchase. Suicide will not be
stopped by making the purchase Of
poisons impossible by laymen, but a
fruitful source Of scandal and shame to
the drug trade will be remoyed-Pitts-

The Methodist Episcopal Church is

Methodist Episcopal Church South
and the Methodist Protestant Church.
The many branches OF Methodism in
the United States and Great Britain
had their origin in difference of

The Methodist Episcopal Church has
enc hundred and twenty-four confer
cnces. fifteen of which are in Europe,
Asia and Africa. There are also
twenty-five mission conferences. some
al home and some in foreign fields.
There are seventeen bishops and sew
cral missionary bishops, the episco-
pal functions Of the latter extending to
their own special foreign fields while
the bishops at large exercise authority
anywhere in the church.
The work of an annual conference
is varied important and interesting
Some Of it pertains to hearing reports
cf the work in every station and cir
cut, the examination of the young
ministers in the annual course of
study: reports from educational In
