We hope to listen to the sales manager as he
tells the men what he wants, what he expects,

GIVEN PRIVILEGE IN WAR
Channel Islanders for Centuries Were
Not Forced to Take Part in
Britain's Conflicts.

For over two centuries the Channel
islands were allowed to remain neu-
trail in any war that England might
undertake. This singular privilege was
granted TO them by Edward ~, and
was not revoked till the reign Of VIII
liam and Mary. 1t was granted as
II reward for the loyalty of the island
crs, whose commerce with the neigh
boring coasts Of Brittany and Nor
mandy was constantly being inter-
rupted by the numerous wars. Even
the pope joined in enforcing the right,
and by n bull dated 1883 Sextus Nv
threatened 10 excommunicate any one
who violated the order On the whole,
1t was fairly rigidly observed, and when
Guernsey vessel was taken in the
channel by a privateer of Morlaix, the
islanders with their boat were re-
leased, but n few Engllshmen on
board, with their merchandise, were
captured. The privilege docs not
seem to have been Of any great COM

The next little scout looked at the

NOVEL HOUSES OF WORSHIP
One Missionary to Eskmos Made Use
of Sealskins and Another En-
ployed Only Snow.

One of the queerest churches ever
known was built by n missionary on
Blackhead island in Cumberland
sound. Finding that the Eskimos had
no place in which they could meet
for religious services the missionary
started to build a church of the skins
of seals, no wood being available. The
skins were sewn together and
stretched over "girders" of whalebone,
empty provision tins serving as seats.
The cold at one time became so
severe that for many days the Eslli-
mos of Blacklead island were unable
to procure food for themselves or for
their animals. One night dogs made
their way to the strange church edi-
fee and began consuming 1t, with the
result that when morning came there
was not skin left, the whalebone
ribs alone remaining TO show that
there had ever been church.
Another missionary in charge of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe,
built his church entirely of snow.
Seat, pulpit, altar and interior equip
ment were made of snow, and in the
matter of warmth no stone-built
church could beat 1t.

Hey, buddy, what's that thing on

Monarchs rire Of Switzerland.

Former Emperor Charles of Austria
and Empress Zita are tired Of remain
Ing In Switzerland, according to TEL
egram from Prague, and have applied
to the Czecho-Slovak government for
permission to reside in Prague. TIE
request was refused for political res
sons.
One reason given for the request Is
that owing to the low rate Of exchange
in Switzerland the former royal con-
pie are receiving only one-tenth Of
their income from Vienna. Empress
zita is reported to have been forced
to sell more of her Jewels.
An American newspaper is under

peror S50O.o00 for his "reminiscences.
