Mayor Cleared the Sidewalk Himself.
They tell a story OF Mayor Studley
in New Haven that is Characteristic
He was walking along Church street
one day when he found the way
blocked by hog of builder who
had filled the sidewalk With cement
and planks, forcing everybody out into
the street. The mayor picked up the
planks himself and threw them into
the street and rolled the cement after
them. He left word with a nearby po-
liceman that ii that sidewalk was
obstructed again the builder would be
arrested. Some men can do that sort
of thing without diminishing their dig
nifty and greatly to the increase OF
their popularity. studley is one Of

SWISS PASTORS KEEP INNS.

Scanty Incomes.

Are Forced Thus to Supplement Their
Scanty Incomes.
A note from Geneva states that a
fortnight or so ago Swiss pastor
bought an inn at Ufhusen, a little VII
lage near Basel. This is said not to
be an exceptional case. In the can
tons of Upper and Lower Unterwalden
and Uri many Of the clergy are propri-
etors Of inns. The reason for this is
that the priests are so badly paid that
they are obliged to supplement their
incomes by other means. Their aver
age income in Switzerland is $125 q
year. The establishments under their
control are said to be models OF their
kind. The priests have succeeded in
reducing drunkenness in their par
ishes, for they attend on their custom
ers in person, refusing to serve those
who they consider have had enough.

Production of Nitrate of Soda.

The annual report of the Nitrate
Association of Chile, which controls
the worlds supply of nitrate of soda,
shows the production in 1902 to have
been 2,eS2,522.s0 pounds from sew
enty-eight works. The nitrate beds
are near the surface and are worked
as stone quarries. 1t is anticipated
that the immense amount Of nitrate
the United States now gets from
Chile for use in fertilizers will ulti-
mately be supplied by factories max
ing it BY electrical process from the
air, as is being done at Niagara Falls.

Losses by Drought in Australia.

The wheat harvest of 1902 in New
South Wales is only one-tenth of the
harvest Of 1901, and this represents
loss to the wheat growers of over 4e2,-
600, 900. The losses in grain, hay and
vegetables are at least as great in the
aggregate, while the disasters of the
pastoral industry are on a yet more
tragical scale In the flocks and herds
of the state there is a decrease OF
47.4O1 horses, l9,461 cattle and 49,
$50 ,632 sheep! Taken at low rates,
this represents an immediate cash loss
of something like 9S,0O0,000.

Fortunately for the south Of Eng

this year have been more than usually
numerous, have kept fairly regularly
to their normal track, says the Lon
don Chronicle. This course has tax

and as result the rainfall account
in these two countries is now much
ahead of the average. Scotland north
has had an excess of nearly ten inches
the surplusage in the west and east
being nine and five inches respective

between five and six inches. The

eastern counties, =on-the other hand,

How Teddy's Ambition Received
Something OF Setback.

Something oil a Setback.
For some reason desire for higher
education had overcome Teddy. Tenn
porarily he felt keenly his own ignor-
ance, gloried in hearing about the lives
of illustrious, self-made men, and for
the first time realized his own short
comings. He decided to emulate ex-
amples. The Encyclopedia Britannica,
he thought was a fairly well-informe ed
thority, and if he'd read just page
or two of that every night, within a
few years he'd know about everything

he may seek shelter in thickets and

At this season. he is swift and SILENT
except for the characteristic hoarse
"scape-sca-ipl" as he rises. Opinions
differ regarding the best way to beat
for this artful dodger. Many experts
work up-wind whenever possible,
which, of course, gives the dog the bet
ter chance. Yet the plan has its I'M
desirable features, that is if giving the
bird all the best of it be considered I'M
desirable. A snipe going straight
away up-wind, as he will do If allowed,
presents the smallest possible mark to
the gun, while his erratic fight greatly
adds to that advantage. If on the con-
trary the shooter beats down, or across
the wind, the great majority of birds
as they bore into the breeze. will offer
s0uarely crossing, or at the worst,
slightly angling shots. which are easl-
err than the straightaway chances. The
lodging these avails but little, While
there is a much larger mark for the
shot. Roughly speaking, the difference
between the marks presented by
StFaightaWay ana crossing SllPe
would be about the same as between
a silver dollar and the palm of ones
hand. Even the crossing shots are not
SO easy as to warrant any dread OF
monotony in the killing, The snipe
well deserves his reputation as a diffi-
cult mark. and those who follow him
up-wind will find that an average OF
one-half of all chances is record to be
proud of. This. to an inexperienced
reader, may at first glance appear very
poor shooting. yet few of the cracks
can beat it the season through. The
| chances are that man who can aver
age half his birds working up Wlnd
would score fully tWo-tnirus
With or across the wind.
Perhaps three-fourths of the
| chances will be nearer the gun. the
! lodging is practically eliminated, and
hni1iner well ahead will do the rest.

rled on in Baltimore and Washington,

suits of his study in those two cities
In Washington especially the work has
assumed unusually large proportions. A
large, six-story building has been
erected as the home of the movement,
and this is furnished throughout as a
hotel, the prices for lodging being low
enough to accommodate the purse of
the poorest. There are sixty rooms in
the building, which are rented for 10
cents per night, and eighty which rent
for 10 cents. A restaurant is also run
in connection with the lodging quarters,
and this is patronized by many of the
residents of the city who are of a bet
ter class than those generally found at
the cheaper restaurants.

Rev. Mr.. Smith, in speaking of his OBJ

cord wood Whenever any one comes
to the home who is without money he
is sent down to the cellar and put to
work on the wood pile, and when he
has earned a certain amount he is paid
off and given his dinner. The manage

Presiding elder DR.. T. D. Ellis will

Rev Mr.. Smith will make complete
report to him of the results of his
study. Under the rules of the Metho-
dist Church, no pastor can fill one
charge for more than four consecutive
years, and this year marks the close
of the pastorate of Rev. Mr.. Smith at
FpwOrth Church. His brother minis
ters are very hopeful that he can be
persuaded to take up the work of the
church extension, and his many friends
in savannah are also anxious that he
undertake the work and thus remain
in the city.
