THE PROSPERITY OF CHURCHES.
Valuable Property Owned by Demon
nations IN Cities.

Valuable Property Owned by Denomi
nations IN Cities.
The marvellous business develop.
ment of our large cities has brought
new element into the problem of
the down town church. Such churches
find that there are what Emerson
called "compensations." While they
are often worried over the loss Of In.
come-producing members. they find
themselves in the possession Of q
valuable property; and the question
Is what to do with II.
these churches have had to deter
mine their policy In the light of their
opportunities as owners Of valuable
real estate. The example OF the
Broadway Tabernacle is still fresh In
mind. That church sold its corner
for 81 100000. A more recent sale.
not quite so large in amount, but In.
volving an even more historic site,
was that of the Park street church. in
Boston, which obtained 81 100000 In
round numbers for its property. The
Madison Square Presbyterian church
obtains a site for its new church
across the street from its present
location and bonus of $325,000.
The first Presbyterian church Of
Pittsburg has a valuable site down
town in the heart of the business dis
trict. 1t was offered large sum Of
money for this site outright, but pre-.
TERED to accept, in lieu Of such Q
sale, ground rent of 10000 a year
on lease for 999 years, plus cash
bonus Of $4,000.
The Second Presbyterian church Of
Pittsburg has been offered $435, 900 for
Its present site. and expects to get a
full million dollars for It. The propo-
sition now Is to add something like
100000 to this, and with this sum
erect on an adjacent site a structure
which will include a secular and com.
mercial feature. as we'll as provide &C.
commodations for a well.organized
church.-Church Economist.

Sweet Pets.
We saw a damsel on the train-a
damsel fair to see; her bonnie eyes
we're glad and bright, her smile was
one Of glee.
Her bonnet was the proper shape

the buttons, pins and things her natty
costume showed!
Six army buttons on her cuff lent 1,

Adown the bodice was q row that
glowed with polish great-ten but
tons from the soldier blouse that's fur
nished by the state.
Four yachting pins, a jeweled badge
some hero's deed had won; a golden
trophy given to some expert with a
gun.
A Harvard pin. q Princeton pin
Northwestern pins as well; u. c., u

Three golden links, Mason's
charm, an Alpha Beta stud-we won
dered then how many youths had
found their names were mud!
Her finger bore a craven seattle
size that's made for men, and on her
collar we discerned college pin
again.
About her hat there stretched a
band from some grim man of war. We
wondered at the ribbon there, and
what she wore 1t for.
And as we gazed, youth who sa,
beside this damsel fair gave her q
badge from of his vest; she tucked
1t In her hair!

Pope Leo's Gentle Joke.

II is said that when Pope Leo read
how Cardinal Gibbons was showered
with congratulations at the time of
the Baltimore prelate's jubilee his
holiness remarked loosely: Il
should have liked TO see him, but the
poor man is getting old and must now
have a rest" The humor OF the re.
mark will be apparent when it is re.
membered that James Gibbons is but
year older than Joachim Pecci was
when he was elected pope.

This story concerning young
Senator hailing from the Southwest
serves to illustrate the knowingness
OF the small son of the house.
The Senator's wife had as her
guest young woman known to the
boy as Miss Anna. When the time
came for the departure of her guest
the Senator's wife. being unable to &C.
company her to the station, asked her
husband and the small boy to go In
her stead. Upon their return to the
hotel the Senator remained in the
lobby talking politics. while the small
boy went at once to his mother. In
due course the Senator entered her
room to find his wife in tears. After
repeated Questionings as to what the
trouble was he was informed that his
small son had told her that his father
had kissed Miss Anna goodby.

thing as that?" demanded the stern
parent.

MAKING WAR ON INSECTS.
"set Bug to Catch a Bug" Now the
Accepted Motto.

The orthodox way to dispose of a
noxious insect is to import from for
eign parts a beneficent insect which
will attack and kill 1t. This is the
plan which the guardians of certain
Massachusetts parks are considering
for the determination of the gypsy and
brown-tail moths. There is an insect,
1t appears, which regards the gypsy
moth as its natural quarry, and a
good-sized importation of these crea-
lures would undoubtedly do the work
OF great many Industrious men with
spraying machines. II is just the same
method OF procedure which has been
adopted to fight the San Jose scale
which Is itself supposed to be an i'm
portation from Hawaii or Australia
The department Of agriculture has i'm
ported from China an insect which
preys upon the San Jose scale, and
these are raised in cages Of netting
and distributed to the fruit growers
OF the far West Set bug to catch
a bug may well be the agriculturist's
motto. According to a recent esti
mate, the havoc wrought by dozen
species OF insects causes this country
an expense Of more than 5000, OOO, OOC
year. These are the chinch bug, the
grasshopper. the Hessian fly, the pota
to bug. the San Jose scale, the grain
weevil. the apple worm. the army
worm. the cabbage worm. the boil
weevil, the boil worm and the cotton
worm. The chief difficulty Is that the
imported bugs may be just as objec
uonable as the domestic. though In
different ways.-New York Evening
Post.

An Electric Tree.

There is a peculiar tree in the for.
ests Of central India which has most
curious characteristics. The leaves of
the tree are of highly sensitive ma
ture. and so full of electricity that
whoever touches one of them receives
an electric shock. II has a very sin
gular effect upon a magnetic needle,
and will influence 1t at a distance OF
even seventy feet. The electrical
strength of the tree varies according
to the time of day, 1t being strongest
at midday and weakest at midnight.
In wet weather its power disappears
altogether. Birds never approach the
tree, nor have insects ever been seen
upon It.

THE GAME OF GOLF.
How Exercise May be Dangerous for
Aged Beginners.

Aged Beginners.
The sneer that golf is a game
only for those not agile and venture
some enough for games of greater
danger has long ago faded from gon
criticism, and now 1t has actually
come to pass that golf is arraigned as
a game dangerous for men who may
be described as aged" 1t is said
that If man all through his life has
followed sedentary habits, allowing
his muscles to become weak and
flabby, particularly those muscles in
the region of the heart, golf may very
easily prove too severe a strain fer
his system. But in the pages of a
golf journal this view is partially criti.
cised by one who did not begin the
game till he was very near the neigh.
Is matter Of beginning gently, and
he tells us that in his own case he
does not find two rounds day par
ticularly exhausting. At the same
time he confesses that he has always
been an enthusiast for outdoor exer.
else, and Is inclined to think that for
a man who has never taken physical
exercise-rather rare experience
1t may be a little exhausting to begin
with. 1t is all a matter of not over.
doing 1t at first. but, unfortunately, SO
attractive is the game that the Oldest
beginners are tempted to 60 In for 1t
rather more vigorously than is wise.
The result Of all this latest pother
seems to be that like everything else
in life II Is wisdom at the outset to
go SLOW" and this is verdict that
aged beginners" should lay to heart.

The New Scent.

You have discovered il you have a

holy ring Of fashiondom tells how the
scent is applied: Never on the
handkerchief, mind you, but on the
bare skin, under the ears and on the
palms and wrists. The skin absorbs
the drug quality Of all perfumes, and

err States Of the Union.

er States Of the Union.
There are more than 1,250,000 ma.
tives Of New York now resident in
other states of the country, and very
few of these, relatively, adopted the
advice given to New Workers many
years ago to go West and grow up
with the country.
Only one state of the West has a
considerable population Of native-born
New Workers.. and that state Is.
strange to say, Michigan. There are
100000 natives Of New York resident
in Michigan-more than 10 per cent
Of the whole number OF native New
Workers. resident In other states.
After Michigan, but with a much
smaller number of New York resi-
dents, comes Illinois. The two West
ern states which have the largest
number Of Nativeborn New Workers
next to Michigan are Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Emigration from this state has not
been on the usual lines OF travel
through the middle West. but has
been decidedly toward the north west,
and especially into states along the
Canada border
There are some curious facts shown
In the distribution of native-born
New Workers through the country.
There are nearly twice as many In
California. on the distant Pacific, as
there are in Missouri. in the Mississi-
ippi valley. There are more natives
OF New York resident in the single
state Of Massachusetts than in all the
states of the South collectively.
There is very small number of
New Workers in Indiana, and actually
fewer by several thousand In Ohio,
one Of the most populous states Of the
country, than in Connecticut. one of
the smallest.

New York resident In another state
are found, of course, in New Jersey.
