Johnny,s Collection Text.

"Some years ago. said preach
er, 1--WE inaugurated in our Sunday
school the practice of our children
quoting some Scriptural text as they
dropped their pennies into the con-
tribution box. On the first Sunday
in question a little shaver walked up
and said: The Lord loveth a cheer
full giver,' and in dropped his penny.
Charity shall cover multitude of
SINS, and in dropped the next. 1T
is more blessed to give than receive,
quoted the third, and so on Just
then up walked little fellow with the
unmistakable remnants of molasses
candy on his chubby face, and, as
he dropped his cent, he bawled out:
"A fool and his money are soon
parted"

AN ELEVATOR GIRL.
The Only One in New York City Runs
the Car in a Training school
for Nurses.

Margaret Donnelly. who has the
unique distinction of being the only
girl who runs an elevator in New
York, if not in the world, the other day
told reporter how she did it. "You
just pull the rope, that's ALL" she ex-
planned, with a smile, then up you
go. Of course, it's simple matter
to come down.
Margaret is assisted in her duties
at the Margaret Fahnestock training
school for nurses by Katie O'Connor,
who is also becoming quite an expert
IN running the car. Margaret's story
is as follows:
Perhaps l am a real new woman,
but L never realized it before to-day.
| thought there were lots of girls who
ran elevators, but it seems that l am
almost alone in my profession.
Il have been running the elevator
here for five months. OF course, 1 had
to learn how to do it. At first l was
t1mid, but I soon got used to it all
sometimes | brighten the people who
come here to visit. They stand in the
elevator and look for the boy. Of
course, they think I am one of the
nurses, but when I slam the door and
pull the rope they get pale and look
half frightened out of their wits. But
L would not hurt anybody for the
world.
1T seems to come natural to me to
run an elevator, and l wonder that

have so much to fear then, for women

PenftentiaI Pillar.

A superstitious man, Umataro
Nagai, living at Akasaka-Ku, in ia
pan, lately built stone pillar about
~ feet high and six feet wide, cost
ing 1000 yen, in the premises of the
Shounji temple, at Toxic, in memory
of the rats which were recently
hunted and destroyed wholesale
throughout the city In order to pre-
vent the spreading of the pest. He
was said to have been disturbed at
night by horrible nightmares, in
which he was chased and tortured
by thousands of these rodents. He
attributed these nightmares to the
spirit of the rats. Hence the peni-
tential pillar.-N. Y. Sun.

1t has been widespread impress
sion that snuff taking had been al
most abandoned in this country, or
that the number of men and women
who still adhered to this old-time
habit was absurdly small. Yet the
chief snuff company of America, in
its annual report, showed net earn
ings of more than $1,0o0,000. The
great persons of the earth do not
now exchange gifts of gold snuff
boxes studded with diamonds, as
they did when the first Napoleon was
the autocCat of Europe, but the use
of tobacco in every imaginable form
OF indulgence still knows no bounds.

LAUGH AT COEDS' DISDAIN.
University Are Amused by a
Feminine Editorial.

Men students of Northwestern uni
versity at Evanston, ILL.,, are disposed
to smile at the protest of the goods
as voiced in an article in the woman's
edition of the Northwestern, which
declaims men as being well enough
"for teachers, friends, dressmakers or
husbands" but as not being "satisfac-
tory companions for walk"
"You will always notice, however"
said one man, who expressed the sem
timents of the male division of the uni
versity, after reading the article in
question: "that when a man calls at
the girls halls with the intention of
taking a walk with a coed he is sell
dom disappointed. This is something
new to me. l had rather deep-rooted
notion that the girls sat up nights
plotting ways to entrap the men into
asking them to go strolling. l call it
very poor bluff"
The woman's edition of the college
paper furnished the chief subject for
discussion about the university camp
us. Surprise and general commenda-
tion of the editors was expressed at
the absence of flippancy and nonsense
found in the edition, in marked con-
trast to those of former years.
A prominent feature of the paper
was the coeds' defense of coeducation.
The cudgel was taken up in another
editorial against the use of cigarettes.

should be closed and should rest on
his left knee.
After standing thus for two or
three minutes he is to move slowly
around the stick, still retaining the
same attitude. This circular motion
he will not be able to continue very
long, for a strange giddiness will
gradually overcome him, and his
only hope of sa1ety lies in stagger-
ing to some piece of furniture,
which he can grasp.

TEA IMPORTATION.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning
Its Consumption in This Country.
After the Placing of a Duty on This
Article in 1898, There Was a
Falling OFF in the Inn
pOrtatiOns.

Considerable interest is felt as to
the effect which the removal of the
tea import duties will have upon the
consumption of that article in the
United States. The import figures
covering the period since the imposi-
ton of an import duty upon tea
(June 10, 1889 do not Justify the as
sertion frequently made some years
since that small tax would increase
the consumption of tea by insuring
better qualities. The average annual
importation of tea since the enact
ment of the law which placed duty
upon tea has been but about S3,000,-
600 pounds, while the average during
the preceding three years was about
98,000,000 pounds per annum. The to-
tai importation of tea in the three
fiscal years following June 80, 1898,
was 248,741, 459 pounds, and in the
three fiscal years Immediately preced-
ing that date was PTS, 303,262 pounds.
Deducting the amount reeXported, the
net imports stand: For the three
years following June 80, 1898, 244,640,-
SAT pounds; for the three years i'm
mediately preceding June 80, 1898,
273,945,o91 pounds. This gives an
average importation for consumption
during those two periods of over ~
pounds per capita per annum in the
three-year period to June 80, 1898,
and but a little over one pound per
capita in the three-year period fol-
lowing that date.
This reduction in the importation
of tea since the imposition of the Gus
toms duty upon that article has been
accompanied by a corresponding in
crease in the importation of coffee.
In the three years following June 80,
1898, the total importation of coffee
was 2,474,69o,2s4 pounds, against
2,1SS,75S,040 pounds in the three years
Immediately preceding that date; and
the per capita imports for consump-
ton for the latter three years aver
aged 10.4 pounds per annum, COM
pared with go pounds for the three
years prior to June 80, 1885, 1t is
proper to add, however, that during
the three years since 1898 prices of
coffee have been much lower than
those of the Immediately preceding
period, the average import price per
pound, as shown by the figures of the
treasury bureau of statistics since
the fiscal year 1898 having averaged
81 cents per pound, against an aver
age of II cents for the three years
Immediately preceding 1898; while in
the case of tea the imDOrt price Der
pound, exclusive of course of duties,
shows but slight fluctuations.
The following table shows the to-
tai importation of tea and coffee in
each fiscal year from 1890 to 1901,
and for the eight months ended Feb
ruarv 1909.

The Problem of Goals.

A hindrance to industrial growth,
second in Importance to that of the
demand of the war chests, is the lack
of coal. All the coal used on the rail
roads and in the factories is shipped
from other countries, and Italy's bal
ance is reduced each year by the full
amount of her fuel bill. This not
only has a most unfavorable effect
upon her balance of trade, but is very
much higher than is the cost in any
of the other countries with which she
must compete industrially. At Ital,
ian seaports the price of coal ranges
from seven dollars to ten dollars a
ton. In Milan manufacturers pay $12
ton for coal for which German
manufacturers pay six dollars, which
the English manufacturers can get for
four dollars and which is laid down at
many factories in the United States
at $3.50 a ton.-Scribner's.
