IS CURIOUS TRADE MONOPOLY
Making Of Missionary Boxes In England
Has Been In Hands Of Same FAM
lily for Many Generations.

It is curious how certain trades and
occupations remain peculiar to certain
families. There Is one occupation
employing a large number Of men to-
day which is in the hands Of the same
family that has been associated with
It for many generations. 1t is the max
ing Of missionary boxes, says London
Tit-Bits.
It might be supposed that any car
penter could knock together suitable
receptacle for contributions to mis-
Aonary and other charitable funds;
but the fact remains that every mis-
sionary society, every church organ
lzatiOn, that requires a collecting-box
goes, as matter of course, to this old
established firm whose speciality 1t is
to make such boxes.
It is a thriving business, and one
which has profited rather than suffered
through the war, for the institution OF
dag days and other means Of collect
Ing funds has led to an enormous In
crease in the demand for boxes.

CHURCH SERVICES

The Sunday school picnic of the
Russell Sunday school was held in
Elk Horn gulch last Friday. Ideal
weather prevailed. The crowd was
taken to the grounds by the business
men Of Russell, several teams being
requisitioned fer the day. Everybody
enjoyed it.
The Children's day exercises were
observed both in the church at Black
Hawk and at Russell last Sunday ev'
ening. Excellent crowds were in at
tendance.
Church services will be as usual
next Sunday.
Preparedness has been the national
slogan for some time. We are learn
Ing today what dynamic factor II
really is to a nations life. Spiritual
preparedness is likewise vital and
eminently necessary. 1t is briefly
summed up in the words of Sacred
Writ, Make your calling and elec

TOOK PARROT By MISTAKE
Country Gentleman Who Had pIned
and Wined Too Well Couldn't Find
His Lantern In Morning.

A certain gentleman living in the
country, who was something Of bon
viveur, was invited to dinner by n
neighbor. The night was very dark.
and In order to guide him on his way
he took with him the stable lantern, n
clumsy old thing bound round with
wires. The gentleman reached his
friends house in safety and enjoyed
himsef extremely. The dinner was
good and the wine excellent.
Presently the hour for the return
journey arrived. He forgot to relight
his lantern, but though the moon re-
fused to shine he arrived home all
right. On the following morning he
could not find his precious lantern. so
he sent his gardener with note to his
friend couched in the following terms :
"Dear Jones: VIII you kindly return
to the bearer the stable lantern which
I left at your house last nightf
"Yours sincerely,
~. r. ROBINSON"
He received the following reply:
"Dear Robinson: am returning the
lantern, but will you kindly send back
the parrot and its cage you took away
with you last night instead OF your
lantern3 Yours sincerely"

EVOLUTION OF THE ALPHABET
II Grew From Pictures BY Which Men
First Wrote and Required Ages
For its Completion.

No one really knows all about where
the alphabet came from, because it
grew very slowly, like children and
every other good thing in the world.
But we know quite well that no in
genious man sat down and made the
alphabet, and we know quite well, too.
that the alphabet began as pictures.
Just as child reads or takes things
in by pictures long before 1t can read
letters, so men used to read and write
by pictures; and then these pictures
were gradually made simpler and SIM
pier until at last they could be used
in every and any way, as our letters
can. We know that the letter o was
at first the picture Of an eye, and that
gradually men made the picture plain
er, until at last they drew an o. The
letter was once picture Of a house !;
and very likely capital A may have
been at first the picture Of pyramid.
Ages and ages ago in Egypt men
used both kinds Of writing, says the
Kansas City Star. The priests used
the Oldest kind, which was the pic
lures. This was called the sacred
writing, in which the pictures were
turned into letters. Not very many
years ago men tried in vain to read
the old sacred picture writing Of the
Egyptians, but they could not. Then
they found the wonderful Rosetta
stone, and this had written upon II
the same thing three times-once in
the pictures and once in the letters,
and also once in other letters, and SO
men got the key to picture writing
and now 1t can be read easily.

PoRPoIsE FISHERY is OLD
One Of Least-known Industries In
America Operated for 200 Years
From Cape hatteras.

One of the oldest and least-known
Industries in America is the porpoise
fishery, which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras, in North Carolina, for
about 200 years. 1t should attain an
unusual prosperity in the next few
years, for the bureau of fisheries Is
urging more general use of porpoise
hides in place of cowhide. 1t is an
excellent leather and could undoubt-
edly be used more widely, says the
Baltimore American.
Heretofore the most valuable prod
uct of the fishery, has been the oi.
which is extracted from the jaws OF
the porpoise and is worth about 500 a
gallon. It is universally used for
lubricating watches and other very
delicate mechanisms. The body blub-
ber Is also valuable. Attempts to
manufacture fertilizer out of the car
casses have failed because Of the dis
tance from fuel supply.
The porpoises are taken at Hat
teras in seines operated from the
shore, and 1t is probably the only
place in America where this has ever
been successfully done. During the
fall, winter and spring many por.
poises are seen Off the South Atlantic
coast and at Hatteras they come with
in a few hundred yards Of the surf.
They are taken by spreading selnes
about 200 yards outside the surf line.
As soon as the porpoises have come
inside the seine 1t Is dragged ashore.
Often a whole school of these sea crea-
tures is taken In a single haul
