A CHURCH LIGHTHOUSE.
Charleston, s. c., Has the Only One
In the World.

Charleston, s. c., Has the Only One
In the World.
The only church in the world so far
as is known that is also lighthouse is
st. Philips church, Charleston, S. @.
st. Philips, which is one Of the oldest
churches in America, is known as the
westminster abbey of South Carroll
ma" because within and about its walls
so many distinguished men lie buried,
including John C. Calhoun. The history
of the old church is closely interviewer
with that of South Carolina, and many
of the most celebrated events in the
history of the province are connected
with it.
1t is one of the s6ghts of Charleston,
and strangers are always taken 10 see
it and shown it's graves and monu-
ments.
The most remarkable feature Of the
old church, however, is the fact that
its lofty steeple serves the purpose of
a lighthouse and is used to guide the
seafarer and mariner safely into the
port of Charleston. The use of the stee-
pie as lighthouse dates back to 1894,
when the United States lighthouse de.
partment succeeded by dint of repeated
efforts l. inducing the vestry of the
old church to allow a lantern to be
placed in the upper story Of the steeple
to be used as a range light for vessels
entering the harbor through the Jetties
at its mouth
The light used is very powerful and
is placed at an altitude Of about 125
feet above the ground, so that it is
easily visible thirty miles at sea. Ships
making for Charleston harbor at night
always keep a sharp lookout for st.
Philips light and as soon as they sight
it get it into line with the beacon on
Fort Sumter and then make a straight
away run for the mouth of the jetties
and up through them into the harbor
of Charleston.
ST. Philips church steeple is consider
ed one of the handsomest architec-
turally IN the world and always at
tracts the eye Of strangers entering
Charleston from the sea by its COM
manding height and artistic proper
tions.-St. Louis Republic.

NATURAL HISTORY.

There are forty-eight different kinds
of house fly known and classified.
The pig is the only dome.lc animal
in which no case of cancer has been
noted.
The Spanish mackerel is one Of the
fastest of food fishes and cuts the wa
ter like yacht.
Fish swallow their food whole be-
cause they are obliged to keep contin-
ually opening and closing the mouth
for the purpose of respiration.
Siamese cats, both in appearance and
character. closely resemble pug dogs.
Even their tails have the curious curl
so familiar in these stdlid dogs.
Animals are found TO be subject to
hypnotic influence. HOLSTERS, it is said,
can be hypnotized by standing them
on their heads five or ten minutes.
There is no wild breed Of fowl to
which the Brahma or Cochin can be
traced. The gamecock seems to be de-
scended from the Cingalese jungle
fowl.
The flesh fly produces about 10000
young in a season. The Larvae are
Matched almost instantly from the egg
and at once begin their work of de-
struction.

COSTLY MISTAKE.

The following clipping from the APP
pleton Post is in reference to Frank
Winninger, Sr., Of this city
When the young minister in AT
Cozy Corners breaks his wife's cher
ished violin he very nearly breaks her
heart as well. Last night at Neenab
when Francis X Hope broke the violin
over the pulpit of the little church AT
Cozy Corners" he came near breaking
two hearts, that of Frank Winninger,
leader of he Appleton theatre orches-
ira, as well as that of dainty little Adel-
aide Thurston.
BY a regretable mistake Mr.. Hope in
stead of breaking prop violin, smashed
into pieces very fine instrument be-
longing to the leader of the orchestra of
the theatre The breaking of the violin
says the Oshkosh Times, comes at the
dramatic climax of the third act of the
play. Throughout the first part of the
act violin belonging to the orchestra
leader is always borrowed for Miss
Thurston to carry. Just before the
time comes for Mr.. Hope who, as the
young minister, in a temporary tit of
jealousy and rage destroys the violin, a
prop instrument is adroitly subSti
tuted at each performance These vio-
Inns are very clever imitation and cost
only about s. go each.
Last night the property man of Miss
Thurston's company, James H. John
son, got the violins mixed and Miss
Thurston handed Mr. Hope the valuable
Villaume instrument loaned by Mr.
Winninger, which cost him 5000. A few
minutes later the French violin was a
wreck broken into a hundred parts.
When the mistake was discovered
there was, wild and stormy scene, far
more vehement than the mimic incident
which preceded Mr. Winninger who
speaks English imperfectly, tore his
hair and uttered ordinations in two
languages A hurried call brought
Claxton Wilstach, Miss Thurstons man
ager, from the front of the theatre back
to the stage. Mr. Winninger was de-
handing 5000 and brandishing the bro
ken fragments of his treasured instru-
ment. Mr. Wilstach deposited the
amount of damages claimed by the or
chestra leader with manager Hoeffier
and the matter is to be settled today at
Appleton.

Improving Corn.


To improve the quality as well as
the quantity of. corn raised, use for
seed only straight. long ears of good
size, which contain a large per cent.
Of deep grained kernels on the cob.
Shell off one-fourth of the grains from
each end Of the cob, and save the mid
die half only for seed to plant. When
this practice is properly carried out,
for a number Of years, you will have
all your corn Of nearly a uniform size.
And what Is still more important, you
will obtain a considerably larger yield
Of corn per acre as a result Of this
method Of selecting seed. If any one
is in doubt es to the correctness OF
this statement, let him try to plant on
two separate fields, far enoug. apart
to prevent the pollen blowing from one
to the other, and thus hybridize the
corn. On one field plant selected seed
corn, according to the above direc.
lions, and or the other field plant good
seed, but pay no particular attention
to the size Of the cob, depth of grain,
or from which part of the cob the grain
is taken, and observe the difference
