Financial considerations, ne said,

BIRDS SING AS GUNS ROAR.
Thrushes, Finches and Nightingales
Spurred by Cannon.

A nightingale doing it's ambitious
best to lift it's song above the roar Of
battery of heavy guns has so as
tonished a British soldier at the
front in Northern France that he
writes home about it. 81 will roar
you, an twere any nightingale may
not be so far-fetched after all. 1t
will be disappointment to the poets
who from time immemorial have con-
signed the ''sweet bird, that shun'st
the noise of folly to quiet forest
sanctuaries. Moreover, all the birds
seem to like the noise, our letter
writer adds. Not only the nightin-
gale, but thrushes, green-finches,
wood pigeons, and the usually shy
golden roriole fill the bushes within a
hundred yards of the batteries and
sing nightly.
Have we here the same sort of i'm
pulse which urges the dog to yelp
when our friend tries it over on
our piano? Those who can endure
them declare that pet canaries like
an accompaniment; whistling will
do, but the louder the better, and
there must be many country dwell
ers who have noticed the sudden
burst of song induced by railway
train tearing through quiet meadows.
One would suppose, however, that
the ear which responds to the wrig-
gle of worm under bark or under
ground would be shattered rather
than pleasantly tickled by the re-
port of cannon. 1t is truly hard to
believe, especially in the case of
Philomel, that this can be matter
of esthetic enjoyment. Perhaps it's
just nerves, or it may be the same
motive that makes people shout in
the subway-they want to be heard.

Where Money is Useless.

The Island of Ascension, in the At
lantic, belonging to Great Britain, is
of volcanic formation, eight miles by
six in size, and has a population of
about $50. 1t was uninhabited un-
til the confinement of Napoleon at
St. Helena, when it was occupied by
a small British force. 1t is 250 miles
northward of St. Helena. Vast num-
bers of turtles are found on the
shores and it serves as depot and
watering place for ships.
Ascension is governed by a cap
tain appointed by the British ad-
miralty. There is no private prop
erty in land, no rents, no taxes and
no use for money. The focks and
herds are public property, and the
meat is issued as rations. So are
the vegetables grown on the farms.
When an island fisherman makes a
catch he brings it to the guard room,
where it is issued by the sergeant
major. Practically the entire popu-
lation are sailors, and they work at
most of the common trades. The
nluleteer is a Jack tar, so is the
gardener, so are the shepherds, the
stockmen, the grooms, masons, car
penters and plumbers. Even the is
land trapper who gets rewards for
the tails of rats is a sailor.
The climate is almost perfect and
anything can be grown.-London

negro waiter; also about two we'll

to tell the yarn.
Smith and Jones look much alike
and are frequently taken for each
other. One day Smith was in a GER

from Kansas City and went into the
dining room for dinner. The negro
waiter said: why, how is you Mr..
Jones, how is you? Use glad to see
you. I hasn't seen you since l wait

The Thornwell Orphanage.

In view of the approaching
Orphan-Work day, (Sept. 25th) on
which day everybody in the State will
be busy for his or her own Orphan
age, 1 think it may be well, for the
information of all concerned, to men
tion. few facts, about this Presby-
terian home for orphans; for the
Thornwell orphanage is owned and
controlled by the three synods of
South Carolina, Georgia and Flori-
da.
The institution is not an asylum,
nor a reformatory, but it is home
and school for orphans, only. 1t is
now full to overfowlng, with some
two hundred applicants waiting for
admission. Three hundred children
are now in the cottages and schools
of the home. Children with living
fathers, even thought deserted, can
not be received. The children need
and deserve help, but the State
should see that fathers do their duty
by their children. y.
Our boys and girls are not only
given good literary education, but
are taught some trade and are en-
abled to take care of themselves
when they leave us.
The support of all these fatherless
and motherless children depends up
on the Christian public. Of course
the appeal for them is made princi-
pally to Presbyterians, but as chill
dren are received from all denomina-
tions or without respect to the par
ents, aid from any and everybody is
appreciated.
The plan of Orphan-Work day is
to interest young and old to help us
by their labors. Contributions are
made by these on the Sunday follow
ing (Sept 26th) and the gifts
promptly forwarded. The address
of the Thornwell orphanage is Clin-
ton, S. C. Individual gifts are al
ways acceptable.

State has no sanitorium OF its own,
and they have been empowered to es-

by building outright. There are two
private sanitoria-one in Fairfield, the
other in Bangor-and naturally the
trustees first considered the advisable
ity of purchasing one of them. They
inspected the one in Fairfield several
days ago, and on Friday it was Ban
gor's turn.

altogether a good fellow and a wise one.
saturday morning, according to the sto-
ry of his intended victim, B. Soba sinski
sought out E. Zoub for the next to the
last time and made him a startling prop
osition. He told Mr.. Zoub that he knew
all the languages which he knows. could
talk huently in his tongues, and had sue
ceeded in ousting him from the good
graces of his employers and was about
to take his position. But-and the but Is
the peg whereon hangs the tale-he was
sorry for Mr.. Zoub did not enjoy displac
ing such good fellow, and for a consid-
Grafton he would withdraw and leave the
field to Mr.. Zoub again. He named the
sum and Mr.. Zoub at once agreed with
b. Sobasinski from Salem, naming a
convenient spot-for Mr.. Zoub-whereon
he should meet him at an early hour in
the afternoon to tender the blackmail
money.
Mr. Zoub was there as the appointed
hour and with witness, who, he ex-
planned, would take note of the proceed

might not return for a second considera-

moment afterwards a warrant charging
blackmail was also rendered by Deputy

but had also arranged for witness and

explain his conduct after pleading mot

habit of travelling around looking for
work and apparently travels much often

spy. since he travelled so much and asked
so many questions, he declared that he
was nothing of the sbrt. The case was
