Fire.

Max Beerbohm's book Yet Again" opens with the essay on Fire"
 Fire in my grate," he writes, "is as terrible thing as when it was lit by my ancestors night after night at the mouths of their caves to scare away the ancestors of my dog. And my dog regards 1t with the old wonder and misgiving. Even in his sleep he opens ever and again one eye to see that we are in no danger. And the fire glow CTS and roars through its bars at him with the scorn that a wild beast must needs have for q tame one. You are free it rages. and yet you do not spring at that mans throat and tear him limb from limb and make a meal of him. And, gazing at me, it licks its red lips, and 1. laughing good humoredly, rise and give the monster a shovelful of its proper food, which 1t leaps at and noisily devours."

The First Pantomime.

The first pantomime introduced to the English stage was Tavern Bill kers" and was by John Weaver This was in the year 17O2. It was produced at Drury Lane. The great institutor of pantomime in England was, however, John Rice, who devised this form of entertainment in 1717. His first en- phatic success was in 1724, when he produced "The Necromancer; or. His tory of Dr. Faustus." So successful was Rich with his pantomimes that Garrick, Quin and others became ex- asperated. Rich lived to see panto- mines firmly established at Drury Lane and Covent Garden. He died in 1761.-London Stage.

Happenings of Interest in Sharon's

Religious Circles
 Methodist Church.
 There will be no prayer meeting in the Methodist church this week and no service excepting Sunday school at the usual hour, next Sunday, the pastor be- ing in attendance at the Conference III Poughkeepsie. It is confidently expected that he will be returned to this charge for fourth year.
 The pastor of the Methodist church in this village is now closing the third year of that which he does not hesitate to characterize as the most delightful pastorata of his long. ministry and in the service of the most loyal and devoted church he has ever had. But, of all the many pleasant incidents that have entered into these three years. the cul- imitation was reached on Monday night of this week. While sitting alone, in his study, racking his brain over some problems of conference reports, he was startled by a lusty ringing of his door bell. But before he could respond in person about twenty of his young people burdened with all manner of ominous packages and parcels, were filing in at the door, apparently as much at home Gas i'll fact they were) as was MT. Mackey himself. The surprise was as absolute as it would have been if Halley's comet had come sailing in as unceremoniously. For a few minutes MT. Mackey was completely confounded and scarcely knew whether he was.
 "At home or abroad, on the land or the
 sea-"
 But the young folks understood them selves and the situation and in a few moments everything was as "reg Tar" as the famous "tea-party." The even- ing was spent chiefly in singing familiar songs and hymns interspersed with simple games and after some delicious refreshments had been disposed of, in- cluding a "lost, strayed or stolen" cake (alas, the guilty boy), the little company broke up with cordial good nights, leav- ing their pastor in an exceedingly happy frame of mind. There seems no reason to apprehend that the existing relations of pastor and people will be disturbed by the approaching conference.

VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS
Census Bureaus Statement Concerning
 Method of Ascertaining It.

census Bureau Statement Concerning
 Method of Ascertaining
 Inquiries have been made of the census bureau whether farm products should be valued by farmers, in reply ing to census enumerators, at the general wholesale prices obtained by the producer. It was pointed out by the inquirers that many farmers sell a proportion of their eggs for breeding at much higher than the regular price Others sell part or all of their milk, butter and cream at retail prices. Quite number sell pure-bred live stock of various kinds at more or less fancy prices. The bureaus correspondents are of the opinion that if sales are quoted ill this way in the census reports the results might be somewh uncertain as basis for the average market prices.
 Responding to these inquiries, Census Director Durand states that ill forming it's inquiries and instructions with refer ence to the value of domestic animals and fowls the census bureau must necessarily follow the lines laid down in the law governing it's action. That law requires the bureau to ascertain the number and values of animals and fowls. The value sought is not the value of some particular class of an imals or fowls, but of all animals and fowls. It is the amount at which the 1 lon lS onl fnyulc hn cold Good pu-e-blood animals will sell for more and thus have a greater Halne, than the poor animals. Where there are many pure blooded, the average will be higher than where the opposite con- dition of affairs prevails, but as a matter of fact, the pure blooded an- imals are so thoroughly distributed that they left no appreciabIe influence upon the average published 5y the 18th census, except in the case of the young colts of the state of New Jersey.
 No appreciable influence on the av- craze price or value of eggs, milk or butter IS observed in consequence of the practice mentioned by the inquirers. The gh-prioed eggs, milk, butter, etc., are found about as much in one part of the country as in another. The ay- craze which the census will publish is not that of a particular class of eggs but of all eggs produced. It is the same for all animals, fowls and an- imal products. The relative number and value of the animals and products to which specific attention has been called does not exert, for the country as whole or for many of the states, an influence sufficient to make the aver age published by the census materially different from the average market prices.

Growth of Cloves.

The principal source of the worlds clove supply is Zanzibar and the neigh boring island of Pemba, East Africa. A ten-year-old plantation should pro- duce twenty pounds of cloves to the tree. Trees of twenty years frequent ly produce upward of 100 pounds each. Besides the buds, the stems are gath cred and form an article of commerce, commanding one-ffth the price of cloves and having about the same per, centage of strength. To this is due the fact that ground cloves can be bought at lower price than the whole cloves.--Dundee Advertiser.
