A Chinese Choir.

A church choir, complete N ell it's
parts and composed exclusively Of Chi
nese vocalists, accompanied on the or
gan by young Chinese na*ron, is one
of the unique practical sights and re-
suits of Christian effort in San Fran
cisco. OF course it has required years
to accomplish this result, but IN thoaS
years the zeal and hope Of Rev. I. u.

known neither Pickering nor wagering.
As g result, Dr.. Ceadit presidss Sun

1ne crow is the evil genus OF the

Ene crow is the evil genius OF the
turtle just as of the diamond-back and
other terrapins. When the warm days
of spring come and the female terra
pins and turtles leave their beds in the
marsh, the crow goes on guard, know
ing that season of feasting is at hand.
Both terrapins and turtles seek the
warm, sandy uplands near the shore
to deposit their eggs. A hole is dug
several inches deep and from 20 to 80
inches oblong, while eggs are deposit
ed and then the nest is filed or covered
with sand. Having neatly piled the
sand over the eggs, the turtle raises
herself just as high as is possible, then
comes down with heavy thud on the
sand. This is continued until the sand
is quite hard, when the eggs are left
for the sun to hatch. In the meantime
the crow has been on guard, and by
means of his sharp bill and strong
claws the work of breaking into the
treasure house of the unsuspecting
turtle is quickly accomplished and
the feast is soon over. The crow is con-
sidered by many to be the greatest en-
emy the diamond-back has. 1t is an
easily established fact that the crow
destroys thousands Of the eggs Of all
kinds Of terrapins, not making an ex-
ception of the ond-backs.-Balti.

Little Jabauese Cook.

o, he was perfect jewel-her little
japanese cook! So watchful and at
tentive! He wrote in his little mem
orandum book all her instructions, so
there could be no mistake. His cui-
sine? Incompatible. His manners?
Divine. But, like all good things and
perfect jewels. he had to go. BE
begged the privilege of calling and
say good-by before sailing for his ma
tive land, and in due time his card was
presented by the footman with "Ph.
D."after his name. Madame found him
in full evening dress and some foreign
decorations. He informed her that his
degree bad been conferred by q cele-,
brated German university, and that he
had been in America to obtain at short
range material for a book on the man
ners and social customs and the dailyl
domestic life of the upper-class Amer
lean people. AT first inclined to the
horrors and Mysteries, madame finally
yielded to the humor of the situationj
and forgave the former cook his amaz-l
ing dupliclty. If am not in error she
invited him to dinner to inveigle her
husband into the joke.-N. Y. Press.

An Unexpected Result.

An amusing episode occurred at q
political meeting at Lavendon dur
ing the general election. After hear
ing the speeches of the candidate and
mis- supporters an aged conservative
from Wolverton mounted the plat
form and caused some mystery by dra-
matically holding aloft a walnut,
when he proceeded to say:
"This is a political walnut. The
rough shell represents the radicals;
the next, the thin, bitter skin, is the
liberals, and the kernel represents
the good conservative"
a man in the audience cried out:
"Now crack it,"
The Wolverton tory did so, when,
10 and behold! the kernel was rot
ten! The admixture Of laughter and
chagrin that followed may be imag-
ined.-London Spare Moments.

Cooperation in Farming

The Dane thoroughly understands
the value of cooperation. Butter was
at first made on every farm, but part
" owing to the difhculty-of procuring
trained butter makers, partly to the
smallness of the farms, Danish butter
was at first of uncertain quality and
fetched low price in England. So
the goahead Danish farmer combined
with his fellows, and at the present
day almost every parish has its coop
erative dairy. On an average $50
small farmers combine together to es-
tablish a dairy subscribing between
them $1,000, that is eight pounds
sterling each, this being enough cap
ital for a dairy of $50 cows. A coop
erati7e society has also been formed
for organized egg collecting for e1-
port. Local societies are established
all over the country, whose members
engage to deliver fresh eggs. They,
are fined five pounds six shillings for
every bad egg delivered after 3air
warning.-London Express.

Heavy Eaiu2al1S.

Exceptionally heavy rainfalls often
occur, sometimes with disastrous ef-
fects. For periods of 6ve minutes rain
falls have occurred at Bismarck. n. D.,
at the rate of nine inches per hour, at
Jacksonville, Fla, at the rate OF seven
inches, and at Galveston, Tex, at the
rate of 6h inches. In periods Of 60
minutes rain has fallen at these three
stations at the rate of over two inches
Der hour; at Galveston at the rate Of
pA inches. One inch Of rainfallis equiv
alent to 27,154 gallons Of 226,ooo pounds
on each and every acre of the wetted
area. Rainfall at the rate of nine
inches per hour represents a fall OF 3d.
500 pounds, or 4,O73 gallons, per min
ute per acre. In five minutes, such a
rainfall would cover each area of four
square miles with 100000 gallons-a
quantity much in excess of the daily
