on the condition of London. The most
remarkable fact brought under notice
Is the steady decline in the birth rate
In 1867 it reached little over 1914 per
1000, while in 1902 it fell to a little
over % per 1000 The death rate in
1902 was the lowest ever recorded ey-
cept that of 1901, which was slightly
less.

 stronger and grander than ever. The church shall never be destroyed. It has the attribute of immortality. The church's enemies have attempted to un- dermine the church by hostile criticism, but they have only succeeded in dis closing the fact that 1t Is more solid than it appears. The church cannot be undermined. The empires which have Joined hands with Anti Christ have fallen and sunk almost into oblivion, while the church has gone on growing stronger and grander Nothing can pre- vail against it. The church stands as certain on this earth as the throne of God"
 The last element mentioned in Dr. Hartman's address was the church's peculiarly splendid mission, the mission of its head and founder. Christ handed down to his church the mission which he had on earth. To save the lost, to disseminate truth and lift mankind to higher plane are clements of it's mis- sion. No other organization on earth has such mission. It is peculiar to the church itself
 And the motives of the church's mis- sion is love. God sent his son into the world because he so loved the world. Whatever we undertake in life must have back of it an adequate motive power. The peculiar and glorious mo- tive power of the church of Christ is love,
 He concluded by telling the congre- gation that while it might be many years before they could equal some of the other New Haven churches in wealth and social standing they might even surpass them in this motive pow CT.

WHERE RIa BILLS cIRcuLATE
Used in Real Estate Transactions and
 in Payment of Duties.

Used in Real Estate Transactions and
 in Payment of Duties,
 The ordinary citizen, even though he be a man of more than ordinary means, seldom sees a one hundred dollar bill while one thousand dollar bills are all most an unknown article. Yet, accord ing to the paying teller of one of the largest banks in the city, these same one hundred dollar and even one thou sand dollar bills are rather common This teller estimates that he handles from ten to fifteen thousand dollars a day in large bills on an average. By large bills, he explained, he meant those lof a denomination of fifty dollars and up.
 But if these bills abound in quantity the use to which they are put has a very narrow field and is confined to only a few definite purposes in Omaha. Chief among these special purposes Is the large real estate deal.
 It Is trick of the real estate man to make man an offer for piece of pro- perty and then follow it up by flourish ing the price in one hundred or one thousand dollar bills. It Is said that several of Omaha's best-known real es- tate men use this very plan.
 An agnt will come to the bank and draw his check for the amount lie wants. Give 1t to me In hundreds.a he will say, or, if the dealt is large one, he calls for thousands. When he has made his trade, the seller Is, of course no better off than if he had been given a certified check, but there is something about the sight of real money that of tentimes eonsummates a trade. Per- haps the charm fails to work, and the agent brings the money back to the bank and deposit it until he wants to draw a flash roll, on some other un- Isuspecting victim.
 Another use of these large bills is for revenue duties. The duties at the Omaha customs house sometimes run as high as five thousand dollars a day. said the teller. "The government doesn't take any chance, you can put that down. When one does business with Uncle Sam he finds that the old gentleman is from Wisconsin and wants | it in his hand. The real hard cash. ac- tual legal tenders, must be deposited Not only that, but in big bills. It's big denominations the government wants The reason for this large-bill demand by the government is that the money has to be transferred, and it is just as well to make it in large bills at once, so it can be shipped readily.
 "The very large bills, such as the five and ten thousand dollars, are extremely scarce. I doubt if there are any ir Omaha. Certainly I don't know of any They are used only in the east, where money is handled in much larger bulk than 1t is out this way. There they come in handy and are useful in transfers from bank to sub-treasury and the like. "--Omaha News.

A CHINESE DOG STORY.

A Chinaman had three dogs. When he came home one evening he found them asleep on his couch of lockwood and marble. He whipped the dogs and drove them forth.
 The next night when the man came home the dogs were lying on the floor. But he placed his hand on the couch and found it warn srom their bodies. Therefore lie whipped the dog again. The third night, returning home lit- tie earlier than usual, he found the dogs sitting before the couch blowing Dn it to cool it!-London World.

DOG NO MATCH FOR WOOD
 CHUCK,

It is unusual to see woodchuck drive a dog: it is usually reversed and the chuck takes to his hole, to be dug out by the dog.
 A Phillips canine followed his mis- tress, who was on a drive through the back towns of Phillips the other day, and after driving off all the hens from the farms along the road he came upon woodchuck near the road. He parked with joy at the sight of that strange animal and with one leap he landed in front of the woodchuck.
 Then hestopped-there was some thing in the woodchuck's eye that in- dicated that there might be serious trouble. The dog discovered it and backed away to safety, and, strange to state, the woodchuck followed him, un- til the opetry was all out of the experi- ence and the fun was all gone. Finally tme dog acknowledged his defeat by dropping his tail and starting for Philips at a very fast pace.-Bangor News.
