Book. with Leaves Uncut.

A book the leaves of which are un.
cut possesses no value of an intrinsic
character beyond one that is cut, but
really less. For that matter, II 1t is to
remain uncut. it Is as valueless as
it is useless. There are book col
lectors, however, who place premium
upon books with uncut leaves and so
commend them in their advertisements
and circulars. There are persons who
load certain shelves In their libraries
with uncut books. or course they are
not for use and are mot used and are
valueless except for keeping.

DOUBLED THE COLLECTION
a scotcismsn's scheme For Ipcrens-
ing the Church Contribution.

In n small town in England there is n
rich congregation which Is not charac-
terlzed by lavish llberallty. Time after
time the minister had valnly appealed
10 his people TO contribute more gener.
ousy TO the funds OF the church. The
members would indeed give something.
but 1t was nearly always the smallest
silver coin OF the realm that was plac.
cd on the plate. a shrewd Scotchman
who had recently come to the place and
Joined the church was not long in no.
ticing this state OF affairs, and rene.
dy soon suggested itself to his practical
mind.
"I'll tell you what" he said to one of
the officials, "if you max me treasurer
I'll engage to double the collection in
three months"
His offer was promptly accepted, and,
sure enough, the collections began to
increase until by the time he had stat.
cd they were nearly twice as much as
formerly.
How have you managed It. Mr..
Sandymanp said the pastor to him one
day.
"It's great secret" returned the
canny Scot, "but I'll tell you in conf
dence. I .e folk, l saw. mostly gave

An odd Habit Among Rocks.

Among the odd habits Of rocks is the
way that members of the same rookery
have of iNermarrying generation after
generation. The males always choose
their wives from among their near
neighbors, and il one should be so bold
as to bring home to his rookery bride
from a distance the other rocks will in
variably refuse to receive her and will
force the pair TO build some way off.
In the neighborhood of big rookeries
outlying nests Of this kind may always
be found,

A had Way to Feed Birds.

1t squitea common practice for per-
sons owning pet birds to teach them to
take bits of sugar or other food liked
by the bird from the lips. 1t has been
discovered that the trainers of young
birds in Europe frequently contract in
this way peculiar parasitic growth on
the throat and lungs that is frequently
fatal. and warning has been issued
by French physicians which may we'll
be needed by any one feeding birds
from mouth to beak.

Fresh Paint Stains.

stain is on the sleeve of a coat take
that garment off and rub the paint

than applying turpentine and exactly

taken into account in those days when
travel was slow, and Shannondale was

# Shannondalef from Nathaniel Craighill,
who then lived on the Shenandoah river
not far from the Springs. Craighill and
Monroe were born on adjacent places 90
