RENTS ARE HIGH ENOUGH.
 There is tendency on the part of a few of the landlords to raise the rents of the business places on Bank street.

CONGREGATIONAL CHCKCH AFFAIRS. The attendance at the annual meet 1 ing and roll call on Friday was not quite as large as usual, but the reports of the various parts of church work were I on the whole encouraging, that of the Junior Endeavor society having been l especially so. On the temporal side a 1 good deal has been accomplished in the 1 building of new and handsome par sonage, which the pastors family have recently taken possession of and which they hope in few days to throw open to the inspection of the whole congre- I gation. The church building has been I beautified by a Tiffany window put l there Tn memory of Dr Hine and also by a bronze tablet in memory of l Rev David Murdock, D. b. On the I spiritual side the church has been greatly encouraged by the reception since January1 of this year of Is new members and all of them quite young, and others are seriously considering their duty in Ithis respect. The num-
 
 has been II, being above the average though one less than last year. By a partial revision of the roll there has been loss of '13 names, making the membership at this date All. Mention should be made of the fact that the church has undertaken the support of missionary in China, Rev MT Walker, who is stationed at Shaown in the Foochow mission. Letters were read from Deacons Green and Ives resigfi- l ing the office of deacon, to take effect as soon as their successors are appoint ed. Deacon Green has served 43 years and is approaching his 8oth birthday and although vigorous for his years, he feels that the church should have the services of younger man. Deacon Ives has served this church 23 years, but was first chosen by a Massachu- setts church 38 years ago. He retires 1 now on account of ill health. A com I mittee of three was appointed to take l these letters into consideration and re- I port at some future time. A little less than a year ago Rev F. A. John- son preached on the old parsonage which had just been torn down. Next Sunday morning his topic will be the new parsonage.

 When M. w. Hfn is working he doesn't like to be interrupted, even by his beloved friends.

Damned if know" said Hill, working away and not looking up. "What is the matter of calling it Hill avenue, in honor of energetic Merritt, the first man to put up building" said Hoyt. Agreed" said Hine, ''and I will fur nish the sign" And before the aston ished Merritt could withdraw his adjective, which had slipped out acci- dentally, Hine had repaired to his studio, painted the sign and placed it oh the building.

A Giant Industry.

According to Professor r. H. Thurs

of America in the Century, Sir Hen
ry Bessemcr's invention has added
more to the worlds wealth than any
other save the steam-enCine. The fol-
lowing figures give an idea Of the eX-
tent of the production of steel through
out the world:

ing over three miles. $50 on each hand,
or single row over six miles long.
Every working day in that year there
was produced the equivalent of be-
tween five and six such columns, and n
days work resulted in the output of
nearly as much as was the total an
nual product Of the great city of Shelf

ton. The annual production OF Besse-
mer steel was. in another comparison.

times as high as the cross on the dome

of about 800 square miles, three and a

to inclose London and it's suburbs in

A Cheap Road.

There was a lull in the storm that
ragged for years between England and
the New Zealand Maoris. One of the
most tactful of Great Britain's repre-
sentativeS wanted road from one OF
the chief coast towns into the interior.
Dense forests and mountain ridges can
not be hastily compassed by troops,
and this is why the road was wanted.
The native king did not want the road,
and did not make it. Then the Eng
liSh representative promised to that
native king, who lived in the interior.
beautiful vehicle on springs, with the
necessary ponies to draw the same
The king was transported with delight.
Then he remembered that there We're
no roads to drive along. If he tried to
get that snowy vehicle through the
bride paths it would be jolted to
pieces. What was the use of having a
splendid equipage unless he could
show 1t in the coast town to natives
and white men alike? So the king de-
cided to make the road at once, and
he put native laborers by the thousand
on the work. In two months mag
niticent strategical and military road
was made for England at the cost Of a

AS nation we are becoming more
and more dependent upon unsettled
and undeveloped countries like Asia,
Africa and South America for raw ma
teriaIs. and are rapidly invading the
worlds markets with the products of
our industries, observes 4 writer in
Che Chicago Record. During the last
ten years there has been a remarkab bic
change in our foreign trade; first, be-
cause we have commenced to supply
our own wants and are importing less
and less from the manufa curing ma
tions OF Europe, and, second, because
we are sending to foreign countries
our surplus manufactures, which We're
formerly supplied by Europe.
