IMPROVE THE IDLE HOURS

Columbus, Ga, July S0.-(Speeial)-The new North Highlands Baptist church building is nearing completion under rather remarkable circumstances. The membership is small there being only sixty or seventy. and nearly all of them are working people, and in moderate cir oumstances. Generous people In the com munity contributed money to aid in the building of the church, but only few of the members could give money and so offered their labor.
 As they work all day in factories and shops. arrangement was made with the foreman of the building work for them to work at night. Squads of members of the church have been working couple of hours at night on the church this month the women holding the lights so they could see how to work, and the edi- flee will be completed by next Sum day.
 The members, in this novel manner, working solely by lampllght, laid prac- tically all the flooring, put up the ceiling etc. They have done the work cheer fully. notwithstanding the fact that at the beginning of their nights labors they would already be tired from their day work

New York, July 8o-The Flnancier this week says:
 The feature of the official statement of the New York associated banks last week was further important increase of $6,260,600 in cash, which was expected from the traceable movements of money during the week. Though this increase was less | by $l,24S,200 than that which was esti- mated, the discrepancy may be accounted for in part by the payment to the treas ury on Friday of S2S0O.

Jlones is Witty.

Edgar Apthorp Jjones was in the lobby of the New Willard a few nights ago, and, as usual, when in good humor. after pour ing in some good things was pouring out some. l wish l had kept a notebook of this mans amusing obiter dicta in the years l have known him. 'Misfortunes never come single, quoted a companion. True" he replied, they generally come married" Presently the treating habit was under discussion; Never drink with a stranger in strange place." quoth he, 'and never look a gift-cigar in the mouthl" The boon-companion was the next topic. Many a man will offer to blow you off to drink he remarked, "who would refuse to lend you a dollar, if he thought you were down and out and on the brink of starvation. Believe me, there's nothing so fragile as the friend ship of the glass" "A story is going the rounds that lock of Bryan's hair has just been sold for s65. Do you think there is any truth in it?" No" answered Jjones, ''but his scalp, if anyone could take 1t. would undoubtedly fetch several thousand at auction" What is the ori- gin of the term Quaker guns? see late despatch says the Japanese tricked the Russians by mounting a mock bat tery and drawing the Russian fire to the wrong quarter thereby and the paper re- fers to this trick as a battery of Quaker guns?" "The term" responded Jjones, "originated. I believe, during the Revo- Iutionary war. Colonel Washington, a very fat cavalry commander in South Carolina, but by no means fat-witted, had several logs hewn into rough resem- blance of cannon and mounted them on a little hill covering a ravine into which he lured detachment of Tarleton's l. trctxf Erff fet, summoned them to surrender Overawed in the waning light by these wooden can non. the Britishers to man threw down their arms and Washington took more prisoners than he had soldiers. Tarleton never got over his rage at the ruse and some wag in the British army taunted him with having been conquered by Quaker guns. The phrase passed into a proverb."

THE GOSSIP ABOUT CLARK
BY W. T. MANNING.

Washington, July S0.-Week before last I referred to the interesting innovation introduced by Hon. Eugene Ware, for merly the poet-laureate of Kansas, now commissioner of pensions. Ware is said to have said that he is proud of his past. We'll he may be. The man who could indite that immortal lyric which begins:
 "One day a Kansas zephyr strayed
 To where a brindled bullpup played and, by so doing attract the literary eye of President and get pitchforked into a fat office has an inalienable right to be proud. Says the witty correspondent of the Denver Post, he can glance bacK over his past with the fires of pride sleam- ing in his glad eyes like arclights. But how about his future? If he permits the cares of this world and the deceitfulnoss of riches-to get-coupled with his oner- ous duties as a pension commissioner to choke his mind so that no more poems emanate from his tuneful cranium, his official elevation will result in distinct loss to American literature.

TRAVELLING COMFORTABLY
BY MARY ANNA BILE FANToN.

The Worlds fair Is meaning a lot of travelling this year to many people who haven't always had the summer trav- cling bee in their bonnet, and who don't, as rule, mind resting and enjoying the comforts of home in the warm weather.
 And to these wise home-staying folks it's bit puzzling sometimes to plan to take an unexpected journey without hav- ing the pleasure spoiled by the trouble of getting ready to go and the actual worry of the trip.
 With women, very much of the com fort of travelling depends upon clothes. Selecting the right clothes, making them comfortably and appropriately, having the little conveniences in dress that are not always absolutely necessary at home.
 There must not be easily wrinlxled wash goods, things that are hard to do up Yet some wash things are necessary for hot days and for long train trips.
 Besides clothes, toilet convenlences must be taken You will find only such comfort Tn soaps and creams and lotions as you take with you. And you cannot keep fresh and free from travel stain without some watchfulness and good grooming.
 For your much to- worn, all-around useful dress get mohair, fine quality plain or figured. Make 1t with a short skirt, gored or tucked, not plaited, and with a loose, half-length Norfolk, or cir cular sacque belted at the back Line the coat with exactly the same shade of silk and leave the skirt unlined.
 Have two petticoats of pongee or grass linen. the latter Is four times cheaper; and wear tan shoes and stockings and dogslxn gloves.
 With this suit, have one pongee waist two of butchers linen. one of white wash silk and one of dark cotton cheviot. Do not get a stock of pereale or null or lawn waists. that are never. under most favorable circumstances fresn more than one day. Have one dark crush leather belt and two of linen that will wash Linen collars, plain and starched, are the neatest neckwear. and can be made fresh in few hours at any port, but If they

Pants and the Iaorrotes.

Pleasant it Is to note that my plea in be- half of the Igorrotes at the St. Louis fair has borne quiet fruit and that the war de-. partment order that they should wear pants during this weather has been re- scinded. When an Igorrote pants for pants it is time enough to pant an Igorrote. This prompt rescission of an act of sartorial tyranny proves the value of little whole some ridicule now and then in preventing a government or an official from trans muting a steel pen into goose-quill.

Cigar Box for a Boat.

A practical vessel, capable of forg-
ing through the water a distance of
five or six yards after each winding
can be made of cigar box, the rib of
an old umbrella, rubber band. a
candle and little cord. After these
articles have been used in the con-
struction of the boat itself, many addi-
lions, such as deck-houses and dom
key engines, can be affixed by lad
who is handy with his penknife.
The first thing to be done is to Sc
cure good, strong cigar box and to
rip away it's lid. Cut two pieces of
pasteboard, each the width of the box
by one-third of its length, and tack
these across the front and back of the
opening. This makes fore and after
deck. With Ratchet chop from an
umbrella rib two masts a foot long,
pushing one through the fore and
one through the after deck, and pound
ing both firmly into the bottom of the
cigar box. Take what remains of the
umbrella rib, say three inches; lay
half of it along the middle of the fore
deck, allowing the other half to pro-
Ject; secure it to the pasteboard with
sealing wax, and the bowsprit is in
position.
Now the cigar box commences to
