SECOND HAND CHURCH PEws.
Demand Greater Than the Supply
No Second Hand Bells,

1--WE have more demand for church
pews than we can supply" said &
dealer In second hand building mate
rials. People buy second hand pews
to put into new churches, where
economy is an object, and they are
used also In lecture rooms and in
Sunday school rooms, and we always
have more or less cali for them.
But the supply is small. There
are not many churches torn down or
turned to other uses. as compared
with the number of other buildings
SO handled, and then we don't al
ways get tho pews. 1t depends on
the wrecking specifications.
"Pews are furniture, not a part OF
the church building; and, unless 1t Is
other w!so specified In the contract,
tho church organization may keep
the pews and sell them Itself or
maybe give them away to some other
church, or perhaps to the Salvation
Army. And so what with the limited
number of churches pulled down,
and the fact that we don't always get
pews. the supply of second hand
church pews Is limited and not equal
to the demand.
And while first and last we get
into our yards pretty much every
thing on earth that Is ever used in
any sort of building, don't remem-
Der that we ever had church bell.
When a church is wrecked the old,
familiar bell is likely to be kept to
be hung In the belfry of the new
church
Second hand building materials
exported? Well not much. We have
sent little stuff to Cuba, but that's
about the limit of our expectations,
and that was house trim. for which
there is always a demand Fine old
mantels, for instances. that are real
ly old. and in good condition. Such
fittings we take down with great
care. and they always bring good
prices.

Freedom That Is Bondage.

The anarchist proclaims that he is
free; that he acknowledges no ruler.
feels no obligation to obey any law
But he is, as soon as recognized.
driven from one country to another.
imprisoned, hanged. thought Of
everywhere as a menace to society.
The man who respects the chosen
rulers and obeys the laws of his
country goes about freely and un-
afraid. protected by the power that
Furnishes the peace-disturber and
law breaker. and is treated as val
ued part Of his home nation.
We are all tragically familiar with
men OF all ages who decline to give
up their freedom to drink when and
what they please. Our prisons and
insane asylums swarm with them.
Their boasted liberty is the direst
bondage which holds them from
success.
How often is friendship strangled
by the freedom that allows one to
dictate and domineer and demand
the freedom that chooses to be
bound to arrogance and selfihness
rather than by gentleness and gen.
erosity

Executions in India,

The decisions as to whether the
murderer should be executed or i'm
prisoned for life was, says the Civil
and Military Gazette In describing
an execution at Hyderabad of a Pa
than who had shot his brother-in-
law. MS Is usual, left to the MUIR
dered mans relatives. and his wife,
tho sister Of the murderer. voted for
death.
On the day for the execution there
appeared In the streets a band of
sweepers armed with leafy twigs,
followed by squad of the city Arab
police with fixed bayonets. Then
came the criminal, dressed In new
white garments, with new halter
around his neck and new ropes at
tached to his arms. The ends of these
ropes were held by policemen. The
ordinary thing Is for the condemned
man to walk, but in this case he was
so overcome that he had to be con-
veyed in jutka.
On arriving at the fatal spot the
murderer was made to al!ght and
kneel down, while the policeman
handed over charge of the cords to
the eXecutioner's attendants, one OF
whom. seizing the end of the halter,
stood In front of the fclon, while
others held the cords pinioning his
arms behind. The eXecutiouer, bran
dishing broad. heavy sword, keen
as razor, in suggestive fashion,
and prancing up towards his victim
asked three times in loud voice.
Who authorizes the execution?"
The chief OF the city police on duty
thrice replied: The Amin
Then the attendant armed with
long needle pricked the condemned
man in the back. causing him to
start forward. At the same instant
those holding the cords laid them
selves back in the opposite directions
as in a tug-of-war contest, with the
result that the wretch's neck was
stretched; and, following the reply
of the chief OF police, the execution
er's blade descended fair and true
on the neck, severing the head com

Equal to the Occasion.

There lived some years ago In
western Pennsylvania an old circuit
preacher whose genial humor and
kindliness of heart endeared him to
all the people OF his district His
opportunities to "tie the knot" were
numerous. On one occasion he
found upon his arrival at certain
town several couples waiting. The
old man was tired and wished to
make short work of the Job.
Stand up" he began, "and join
hands"
He then hurried through the
marriage service.
There" he said, "ye can go; ye're
man and wife, ev'ry one OF ye."
Two of the couples hesitated and
made 1t apparent that in the hurried
'jining" they had become confused
and had taken the hands OF the
wrong persons. The old preacher
took in the situation, but with a
wave of his hand dispersed them,
saying in deep voice:
II married ye all; sort your
selves.

NATURAL DETECTIVE FORCE.
Why Man Who Commits Crime In
Alaska Cannot Escapc.

I'VE have better detective force
in the cold country than there is In
the States," says Gov. II. p. Hoggart
of Alaska, In the Washington Post.
THAT detective force is nature.
When a man commits crime In the
States he has many places to hide.
and he often manages to evade the
authorities forever If one OF our
people who does something wrong
believes the climate of some other
country will better suit his health
and he makes for that country he
undertakes the impossible. All we
have to do is to sit and wait. There
Is only ono way out of Alaska, and
that is by coming to the coast, and
when the criminal comes to the coast
he is sure to be caught.
80 we'll has the United States
Signal Corps done its work in Alaska
that we have telegraph line to
every mining camp of Importance,
and when a man takes leg bail all
there is TO do is to telegraph to the
coast towns, and the authorities wait
for the man. II would be impossible
for the poor fellow to try to get away
by any other route than the coast,
because he would never live to re-
late his experience.
"On the other side OF the coast
range of mountains are vast plains,
stretching for many hundreds OF
miles, wholly uninhabited. On ac-
count of the haste with which crimi-
nails generally leave there is no time
In which to provide an adequate out
fit. If such thing were possible.
But 1t is seldom that 1t is neces-
sary to make use of this natural de-
tective force to track wrongdoers. |
Will venture to say that there is no
country in the world where the peo-
pie are as orderly as they are in
Alaska. All the tales of lawlessness
of the mining camps of the forty
miners are not repeated in Alaska.
From the very first the people have
been orderly, and they make 1t SO
uncomfortable for the criminal who
comes among them that he is glad to
leave.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
ini1amed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inhamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever !;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
iniiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

THE AMERICAN REGULAR.
They Both Walked But He Forgot
He Was Tired.

A little incident related by the late
Gen. Shafter illustrates the spirit
of the American soldiers who en-
tered Cuba. and at the same time
contains a bit of humor that was
none the less enjoyable because 1t
was unconscious.
The men had been in battle all
day. and. weary as they were, had
then walked eleven rough, muddy
miles In the dark, remarkable and
2roou5 military performance which
served to show their sterling military
qualities.
A correspondent noticed cor
poral of the Twenty-fifth ColorCd
regiment carrying a pet dog In his
arms. Surprised that an over
worked soldier should voluntarily
burden himself, he said.
Corporal, dldnt you march all
night before last?"
Yes. sah."
Didn't you fight all day yester-
day."
Deed / did, sab"
Didn't you march all last night?"
"Yos, sab"
Then why do you carry that
dog?"
why, boss, cause tho dogs
tired"

Origin Of the Toothbrush.

Colonial diaries and letters make 1t
plain that our unfortunate ancestors
suffered much from jumping tooth
aches, swelled faces and the early loss
by forcible extraction of teeth which
at a later period might have been saw
ed to render the owners many years
Of further service. No wonder, since
the care of the teeth was little un-
derstood and that little often but
uegligently practised.
Toothpicks were known, tooth
brushes were not, although rough sub
stitutes were employed, made of fat
tened sticks split and pounded at one
end to a stiff fibrous fringe. Tooth
brushes when first introduced were
regarded as by no means important ac-
cessories to the toilet, but rather as
minor luxuries and suitable for wom-
en- only.

When Bachelors Were Taxed.


Another one of the surprisingly
old projects that has recently
cropped out again is the proposed
tax on bachelors. The idea Is gray
with age, and, as far as effectiveness
In the correction of evils is con-
cerned is about as inefficient as It is
old, says the Cleveland News. Bach
elors, as candidates or probationers
for marriage, have formed the sub
1ect for legislation from the earliest
times. Penalties have often been i'm
posed on male celibates in various
countries. In proportion as the in
terests Of the State We're regarded
as above those of the individual the
enforcement of marriage was more
severe. In ancient Sparta it was
considered punishable crime not to
marry or to marry too late in life.
At Rome marriage was fostered by
positive penalties imposed on unmar-
ried men and sometimes even on
women, as well as b. discrimination
In favor of heads of families. In the
allotment of the Campanian lands by
Julius Caesar portions were given
only to the fathers OF three or more
children. Under Augustus a law was
enacted prohibiting unmarried per-
sons below the age of sixty in men
and fifty in women from taking pos
session of a legacy, and this was ap-
piled even to widows, who, in order
to secure their part Of their deceased
husbands estates, were forced to
marry again within period of two
years.
