It is the custom during the summer months to leave the ventilating panes open in the old church at HamstaH Riwane, Staffordshire. A robin took advantage of this lately and built it's nest in the wooden case of the organ behind the false pipes, where 1t did no harm to the instrument It was sitting when discovered and was al lowed for this once to hatch and rear its brood, one solitary chick. A few leaves from an old prayer-book formed part of it's nest. The hen sat quite steadily during the service and took no notice of the organ. But the cock would not face the congregation and only ventured to appear at the win dows with food in his bill, but did not dare to come in. A thrush also built in a low laurel bush at the church door, where everyone looked into it. but the boys all agreed it must not be touched and the eggs matched quite safely.-From Field.

What FoIk-sonas Are.

One of the finest pleasures in the world is derived from singing. Even savages make an effort to sing by ut tering weird notes as they beat on queer drums and dance around their war fires. In ancient times before there were any pianos, says writer in St. Nicholas, people sang some times to the clapping of their hands. and often to the accompaniment of crude instruments which looked like old-fashioned guitars, violins or harps. Their songs told of battles, love, har- vest time, hunting and other events in their lives. Before men knew how to write and print music songs were preserved by being treasured in the memory of the people. Every country had its own peculiar songs which were passed down from father to son, sometimes through hundreds of years. In more modern times interested peo- ple have from time to time printed col lections of these songs of the differ ent nations, and nowadays there are many enthusiastic collectors who are printing these songs so that we may all know them. This kind of music is called foIk-songs. These include the songs which the folk" or people sing and treasure in their hearts and memory.

contrives to exist there. thanks to CO., pious springs which burst forth from the bottom of the sea. The fresh wa ter is got by diving. The diver, sitting in his boat, winds a great goatskin bag around his left arm, the hand grasp ing its mouth. Then he takes in his right hand heavy stone, to which is attached a strong line, and thus equipped, he plunges in and quickly reaches the bottom. Instantly open ing the bag over the strong jet of fresh water, he springs up in the ascending current, at the same time closing the bag, and Is helped aboard. The stone is then hauled up, and the diver, after taking breath, plunges again The source of these copious submarine springs is thought to be in the green hills of Oman. some 500 or 600 miles distant.

Mln.r.. r.rrIbIs ExperIenee.

For nine hours a Sunderland Scot land) miner named Morrison was ex- posed to the icy blasts and drenching spray of the North Sea during a re- cent storm. Although warned of the danger, he ventured along pier and began fishing with line. Gradually the tide rose. and, driven by a strong wind. the waves began rolling over the pier between him and the shore. Fishermen went out in a boat, and urged him to throw his fishing line to them so that they could give him a rope and drag him aboard, but he would not risk 1t. He was in danger of being washed of, and to prevent 1t, attached his suspenders to the iron work At midnight the tide had gone down sufficiently to allow the dock men to venture along the pier. They found the man benumbed with cold and nearly dead from exposure

Between 1880 and 1885 many DOT tions of Mexico were visited by disas- trous epidemics of smallpox and cholera, which caused the authorities throughout the country to enforce the orders in regard to the discontinuance of all burials in churches and to pro vide municipal burial grounds in which to inter all bodies. These mu- nicipal cemeteries were divided into four parts, in three of which the graves were rented and in the fourth part burials could be made without charge. The three parts carried indi- vidual scales of prices, but the short est term of rental was for space of seven years. Graves could be rented at a certain rate per each seven years, or a perpetual right would be sold at any time. Consequently the wealthier people were all buried in one division, where practically all the rights were taken for perpetuity, while in the cheaper divisions many of the rights would expire at the end of the first seven years. When the time expired and no payment was made to cover the subsequent rental, the bones were exhumed and placed on the bone pile, which was periodically burned. This plan is still continued in few of the interior places, but since 1860 most of the larger municipalities have dis continued the practice of burning the bones.
 The arrangement of the cemetery of today in Mexico follows the same plan of division, always providing one section in which no charge Is made for burial AS the greater part of the population is very poor this free di- vision forms the largest part of the burial grounds These different divi- sions are separated by high walls. as is the entire cemetery separated from the surrounding grounds. The en- trance is arranged in the first or high est-priced division from which gate ways lead to the poorer divisions. The first division is generally made into a place of great beauty, for in addition to the decorations on the in- diivdual graves, the municipal author ities expend much time and money on the upkeep of the entire division.
 The prices charged for lots vary
 
 cities there are often many divisions made of the first-class lots according to the desirability of their location. In this way the very wealthy may gain an exclusiveness which is often not possible in the smaller places. In some instances in Mexico City lots have sold for as high as $20,000, yet the average first-class lot can be rent ed for period of seven years for $16, or a perpetual right can be obtained for $15O. In the second and third d. vision, this price Is greatly reduced.
 Practically all of the graves taken in the first division are for perpetuity. while in the second and third. the re- verse is the case. When the seven years have expired on the rented graves and no renewal has been

LIAR SHOULD BE REGULATED
Prevalence of Unofficial Ananiss Clubs Tends to Degrade the High Art
 of Prevarication.

The growing custom of establishing Ananias clubs should be discouraged for the reason that it is becoming ri diculous. 1.
 If the country had one properly or ganized Ananias club it would be a good institution and would have a large and distinguished membership. But such club should not be hap hazard affair, and initiation to it should be solemn and interesting function.
 There is no distinction, no satis- faction, in belonging to a fraternal SO ciety that is open to every conner and in which a nomination is equivalent to an election. The way these small, pri- vate Ananias clubs are run is dis grace to all concerned.
 One man calls another a liar, and the latter immediately becomes a charter member of an Ananias club and Is permitted to wear regalia and participate in the mystic rites.
 One result of the prevalence of these unofficial clubs is the degrada- ton of the grand old name of liar. It Is being shorn of its dignity. Time was when to be a successful liar amounted to something. Distinction in that line meant that a man pos sessed many admirable qualities, in- cluding originality and initiative.
 No man of. sluggish mental equip ment ever became a irst-class liar. To tell a fish story and make it sound like the truth required pronounced talent
 The word has been so misused and overworked that many citizens be- come incensed when referred to pub Hcly as liars and some resort to vio- lence in their resentment. The word is losing it's proud significance and soon will be in the same class with ladies" and gentlemen"
 The country needs law prohibit ing citizens from establishing Ananias clubs without due authority from the department of justice or some other bureau. All clubs should be chartered and registered, and no man should be permitted to nominate another for membership without the consent of the nominee.-Emporia Gazette.

MELTS STEEL AWAY
Marvellous Power of New 0xy.
 aceteIine BIOw-Pipe.
Cuts as cieanIy as Saw and Goes More Quickly Through Inch Steel Than Saw Would Through
 Wood.

Chicago-Every day a practical demonstration is being given on the streets of a new device before the marvellous power of which steel be- comes like paper.
 The oxyaceteline blow-pipe is the device. It is being used to cut out the big steel pillars of the elevated loop which are being removed to make room for through route surface cars to turn street corners. The proc ess also is being used in cutting out old steel piles which interfere with the work on the new La Sale street tunnel
 Thousands of Chicagoans have watched with amazement the action of the tiny blue flame of the blow-pipe upon the massive steel of the elevated pillars. Before 1t the steel melts away, vanishes in gas. It cuts as clean ly as a saw, and goes more quickly through inch-thick steel than saw would through soft wood. Inquiry proved that the marvels of the oxy- aceteline blow-pipe have been known to scientists for a very few years; and commercially they are just becom- ing known.
 So far as is known, the device has never been used for criminal pur- poses. But experiments have proved that the flame will cut through the strongest safe as easily as through the elevated pillars. Before it the most cunningly devised vault walls become like paper. Manganese steel, upon which the hardest drills have no eff feet, is pierced with ease by the oxy- aceteline flame.
 Just why steel melts before the flame scientists do not know. The flame is produced by combining pure oxygen with aceteline gas. The acct
