Scythe as Church Ornament.

At the first sight the scythe Is q
strange ornament for a church, but
there is nothing incongruous in these
curious agricultural implements as
seen in the parish church of st. Mary's
at Horncastle. in Lincolnshire.
Thirteen of these blades are nailed
above the door In the north chapel.
At one time the blades numbered 40
or so, but owing to rust and decay
many OF them have been lost. Each
of the scythes is about yard In
length.
The general belief Is that these
blades were placed in the church in
commemoration Of the zeal Of peas.

their faith in the rebellion known as
"The Pilgrimage Of Grace" which had
Its rise at Louth in 1886.

Goal May Rise Fifty Gents.

A Hazleton paper says the Coal
Trust will not accede to President
John Mitchell's demand for an eight
hour day at the mines unless the
public is willing to pay an additional
so cents ton on coal.
Underline circumstances will il
concede recognition of the miners
union, if such recognition involves
the collection by the companies of
miners dues to the union from the
wages of the employees.
This statement is made semi-offi
cially, and it is understood reflects
the attitude of the presidents OF all
the anthracite roads, notwithstand.
ing President Baer's recent declara-
tion that there will be no strike.
An official of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company said this: "The
demand of President Mitchell for
an eight hour day may seem to the
public not too onerous for the COM
panies to accede, in view of the fact
that miners on contract work never
work more than eight hours.
"As matter of fact, however, it
would involve the addition of three
quarters of days pay every week
to all the employees at the mines,
with the exception of contract min
ers, who are relatively unimport-
ant factor.
1t would involve between S.
900, 900 and Sc, 900, I, 900 in additional
wages every year, and would make
absolutely necessary an increase in
the price Of coal, if mining Is to be
continued at profit.
Recognition of the union would
absolutely crush out the non-union-
lists and compel large body of men
who have heretofore been loyal to
the operators to either join Mr..
Mitchelps organization or quit the
region. The operators could not
afford to treat these men this way"

The most important is the Russian
timber and mining company, of the
far east, with headquarters at Port
Arthur. This company is organized
by some of the most prominent men
connected with the Russian govern
ment, and is reputed to have capi-
tai OF 2O000,000 rubles (st0,300, ,000).
Its principal operations will be on the
Yalu river where 1t runs down timber
from the forests of Korea as well as
the large forests Of Manchuria These
forests are said to be very extensive
and contain immense quantities of ex-
ceedingly fine timber. There is much
of the like in this market from that
locality and 1t has been the source
OF supply for both this and the Tien.
tsin market for ages.

located exactly on one OF the points
now in controversy. In addition to this
competition, which is already supply
ing large quantities OF timber and
lumber to Port Arthur, Dalny, Much
wang, and the Chinese Eastern rail-
way the Russians are shipping guam
titles of lumber to all OF these places
by steamer from Vliadlvostok and vi
cinity and from the island OF Sakhalin.
Another point OF Russian competi-
tion In the lumber business is devel-
optng on the Sungari river, where the
Chinese Eastern railway crosses it,
about eighty miles south OF Harbin.
Timber in considerable quantities Is
run down this river to the point and
Is being made into lumber by the
Chinese method, several hundred men
being engaged in the work. Lumber
from this source will never reach the
sea In competition for the trade OF
China, but II will be a splendid source
OF supply for railway use and for the
city Of Harbin.
II Is clear that Russia intends to
provide for all the requirements Of
lumber in Manchuria and Siberia, with
a possibility OF entering the Chinese
market. The Russians are familiar
with the lumber, wheat, and -four bus-
ness, and as they have the natural
advantages and the earnest support Of
their banks. railways and government
throughout Manchuria, their develop
ment OF these industries Is likely to
close this market to our country in
these products, and II they show in.

become severe competitors in the

COOL WEATHER AND FR05TS
IN STORE.
Rev. Ira Hicks for September-Firs OF the
Month May Be Stormy

Rev. Ira X. Hicks has issued the
following weather predictions for
the month of September: No reader
need be surprised to see or hear
crisis in the elements-rain, wind an
thunder. The disturbances at this
time:will, in all probability, be pro-
longed in cloudy and threatening
and possibly stormy weather up to
and through the 3td, 4th tnd 5th.
The regular Vulcan storm period
is central on the 9th and will be
felt as early as the 9TH and 8th.
There is always much tendency to
prolonged disturbances during the
immediate presence Of earth's att
tumnal equinoctial especially when
full or new moon fall near the ending
of the storm periods. These phases
of the moon in Sept, the equinoc-
tial month always find the moon
on or near the celestial equator
Hence we find full moon on the 18th
and Oh the equator on the I4th.
The 18th to the 18th are also reac-
tionary storm days. We may
therefore look for decided storm
conditions to continue over these
dates.
Frosts in many localities, especial
ly northward, between the 5th and
10Th may reasonably be expected.
The next regular storm period is
central on the 2Tst, this being also
of earth's autumnal equinox. We
predict that within the period EN-
braced between Wednesday 27th
Saturday 3oth many widespread
and violent storms will visit various
parts of sea and land. We predict
cool weather at the close OF the
month. Indications are favorable
for low temperatures and frosts
over all central and northern sections
along with the changes that will
follow this last September storm
period.

Mlkados Ancient Ancestry.

Ancient though many European
royal houses may consider themselves
none can beat the record of the mi
kado. Mutsuhito is the one hundred
and twenty-second wearer of the
crown, which his ancestors have
borne without interruption since the
year 666 b. c. That is to say, the
founder Of the dynasty was contem-
porary of Nebuchadnezzar. Though
one may not be guilty Of the impolite-
ness of calling this pedigree in ques-
tion, it is difficult to believe that the
mikado of $3.50 years ago was the son
of the sun goddess. Possibly even the
present occupant Of the throne has
doubts about 1t in private.

QUEENS AUTO ADVENTURE.
Mishap to Car compels Mother Of

Queen Margherita, the queen mother
of Italy, has done more to make herself

5000 people, near Pisa, and, a mishap
occurring to the motor she stopped the
