Climate OF MSnchuria and Korea Com.
parable to That Of New England.
When you compare the climates ut
Old and New England the wonder is,
not that box hedge fails, but that any
evergreen from England succeeds
here. The only place in the United
States that has a climate like that Of
England is the coast of Oregon, while
the climate OF New England is COM
parable to that of Manchuria and Ko-
rea, to which countries we should look
for a broad-leaved evergreen to dis
place box. The difference between the
mean temperatures in January and
July is only fifteen degrees in Eng
land, whereas it is AZ degrees in New
York, and New England sometimes
jumps from so degrees above to TWEEN
ty degrees below in side of three days.
The winter winds of England being
the warm, moist air of the Gulf
Stream, while ours are from the cold,
dry interior of the continent, these
winds dry out the foliage of broad
leaved evergreens, and, the roots BE-
ing frozen, they cannot send sap TO
the leaves. Consequently, the tollage
gets dingy or yellow. 1t is doubtful
whether we shall ever have any really
first class broad-Ieaved evergreens for
such conditions. Practically all our
northern evergreens have needle
leaves, except the bayberry.-Country

A young minister was called few

sermons had attracted large congrega.
tons, but whose expressed belief was
that the clergyman's single duty was
the spiritual welfare of his people.
The church had failed to meet current
expenses for several years, and it's con.
siderable debt was increasing with me-
chanical regularity. The newcomer
was not wonderful orator, but he had
a firm mouth and jaw. Within two
years he was at the head of a smooth

whose departments were handled by
men who understood their work AMI
did it, which discounted it's bills and
reduced it's old indebtedr ess. The
church had become a working church.

Private, why don't you stand in. the

An Ecclesiastical Umbrella

An umbrella big enough to cover a
dozen persons belongs to the church
of st. Peter Muncroft,, Norwich, Eng
land. 1t is used on wet days for we'd
ding parties, so that the bride and
bridegroom, the bridesmaids and
guests may not get their smart dresses
spoiled when walking from the church
door to the carriages. 1t is also used
by the clergy at funerals when the
service has to be held by the grave
side in pouring rain. That it is useful
is obvious, and it is rather remarkable
that many other churches do not pos
sess such an article as part Of the
ordinary church furniture.

Coffee Not at FIRST Appreciated.

knowledge of the taste and value
of coffee spread but slowly, SO that
it was not until the middle of the six
teenth century that it reached Con-

houses notwithstanding which they
1ourished and extended. After the

was introduced by one Edwards, a
British merchant long resident in

London was openedeby his Greek sery'

Dogs Haul the Fire Engine.

Dogs have been used for many curl
Gus purposes in various countries, but
it is safe to say there is only one place
ON the face of the earth where their
services have been called in to draw
the local fire engine. This has been
done with success at Dawson City.
the famous Klondike gold mining
town. The principal difficulty in en-
ploying mans canine friend in this
way has been found to lie in his nat
ural excitability. His energies and en-
thusiasm are undoubted, but if by
wheeling round sharply he can upset
the whole turnout he and his mates
are apt to exhibit a schoolboy delight
which is rather annoying when a sari-
Gus fire is in progress. The sight Of a
cat, too, might upset the equilibrium
of the team to dangerous extent
