The little son of au Episcopal clergy.

his mother Canadian city, where the

church. 1t Is the custom In that
church for the clergyman and congre-
cation to bow in silent prayer for o
minute or two just before the sermon
begins. 1t was a new proceeding to
the child. for he was not accustomed
to seeing this done in his fathers
church, but the little chap bravely and
reverently did his part. After the
service was over the Clergyman. one
OF the old evangelical school, who had
noticed the apparent devotion of the
child, spoke to him and commended
his reverence with an affectionate pal
on the head 1T was very pleasing

civil service rules are strictly applied.
The teachers, who are mostly women,

so old they can't teach any more they
are pensioned literally. The result is
that the country has an excellent corps

Whatever may be the merits OF de-
merits Of the present tariff laws. serious
ly doubt if the people of the country are
at this time in favor of legislation upon
the present sche dulles. They are appre-
hensive of the results. Still it is univer-
sally admitted that with our present won
derful volume of business, some provision
must soon be made for the increased sales
of our surplus manufactured goods abroad
I" This, in my opinion, can be accom-
plished through the medium OF the reel
procity treaties now pending before the
Senate. 1t is true that it would be an
experiment, which. If proved benefit.
well and good il not the harm could be
speedily corrected. The Republicans of
my State are not in favor of meddling
with the tariff laws at this time. but they
are favorable to the passage of the recip-
rocity treaties They We're prepared
under the guidance of the late President
Mckinley. whom we all think knew what
was best for the country,
= Our coal, iron and timber enter into
the manufactured article, and the greater
the sales at home and abroad, the greater
will be the demand for our raw materials.
We believe that reciprocity wiz accom-

sition in his speeches during the late cam
paign. / have heard it frequently stated
that his speeches on the economic ques-
tons which now confront the Republican
party were the best expositions made dn-

Gold il 1902 Cents?

a letter was received at the sub.
treasury yesterday from Sunday
schoo! superintendent, resident OF
a Brooklyn suburb, asking if it was
true that lot of molten gold had
been spilled into the copper which
went into the 1902 cents. The write.
said that he had heard that such was
the fact and that the coppers were
now worth rs cents each.
The sub treasury officers have an.
swered the letter to the effect that
they know of no such admixture a!
the mint, but that an unconfrmed re.
port once had it that some gold had
been spilled into the copper. They
are wondering if the writer has been
getting up corner on cents through
the Sunday school collections-New

Diptheria from Pencils.

Passaic, N. J, Dec. 12-The board
of health of this city has discovered
that lead pencils used in the local
public scho ols are the main cause OF
the large number of cases of dipShe-
ria in this city. More than eighty
cases have been reported. The stu
dents in the public schools receive a
pencil each day. Before school closes
these are collected and put into a
box together. The contagion comes,
the officers say, from the children
putting the pencils into their mouths,
after other children have done. the
same thing.
City Superintendent Paulding this
afternoon issued an order that each
pupil should keep "a pencil contin-
uously. His nam -l be marked
on it and any other pupil found using
it will be punished.

a Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year
when the prudeut and careful house
wife replenishes her supply of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. It is GER
tain to be needed before the winter
Is over, and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when it is
kept at hand and given as soon as
the cold is contracted and before it
has become settled in the system.
In almost every instance severe
cold may be warded off by taking
this remedy freely as soon as the first
indication of the cold appears.
There is no danger in giving it to
children for it contains no harmful
substance. It is pleasant to take
