One Missionary to Eskimos Made uss
Of Seals<ins and Another En-
4 pioyed Only Snow.

One of the queerest churches ever
known was built by a missionary on
Blackhead island. I'm 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 Eski-
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 a 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 it.

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-
tral In any war that England might
undertake. This singular privilege. was
granted to them by Edward w. and
was not revoked TIL the reign of VIII
liam and Mary. 1t was granted as
q reward for the loyalty Of the island
ers, 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 a bull dated 1883 Sextus Nv
threatened to excommunicate any one
who violated the order. On the whole,
Il was fairly rigidly observed. and when
Guernsey vessel was taken in the
channel by privateer of Morlaix, the
islanders with their boat were re-
leased, but few Englishmen on
board, with their merchandise, were
captured. The privilege does not
seem to have been of any great COM
mercial value, for when 1t was with
drawn the islanders made more
money than before by fitting their yes

T thy time has come said
a loud and clear voice
the lions await thee
"T am ready said the Athenian. He
had bent his limbs so as to give him
self the firmest posture at the expect
ed rush of the lion. with his small and
shining weapons raised on high, In the
faint hope that one well-directed
thrust might penetrate through the eye
to the brain of his grim foe.
"But to the unurterable astonish-
ment of all, the beast seemed not even
aware of the presence Of the Grim
inal. At the first moment Of its re-
lease 1t halted abruptly In the arena,
raised Itself half on end. snuffing the
upward air with impatient sighs: then
suddenly 1t sprang forward, but not
on the Athenian. At half-speed 1t
circled round and round the space,
turning It's vast head from side to side
with an anxious and perturbed gaze,
as IL seeking only some avenue of es-
cape; once or twice 1t endeavored to
from the audience. and, on failing, ut
tered rather a baffied howl than its
deep-toned and kingly roar. II evinced
no sign either OF wrath or hunger; its
tail dropped along the sand, instead of
lashing its gaunt sides; and its eye,
though it wandered at times to Glau-
Gus, rolled again listlessly from him.
At length, as If tired of attempting to
escape, 1t crept with moan into its
cage and once more laid itself down
to rest.
"The first surprise of the assembly
at the apathy of the lion soon grew
into resentment at its cowardice; and
the populace already merged their
pity for the fate of Glaucus into angry
compassion for their own disappoint-
ment. The manager called to the
keeper:
allow Is this7 Take a goad, and
prick him forth, and then close the
door of the den.'
"As the keeper, with some fear,
but more astOnishment, was preparing
to obey, a loud cry was heard at one
of the entrances of the arena; there
was a confusion. a hustle, voices of
remonstrance suddenly breaking forth,
and sudden silence at the reply. All
eyes turned In wonder toward the
quarter of the disturbance: the crowd
gave way. and suddenly Sallust ap-

undergoes internal rupture when
given unduly harsh treatment, such
as being bumped against a curb. The
breakdown Is not due 20 faulty con-

Trucks equipped with pneumatics
should be especially careful to avoid
this sort of damage 10 their tires. a
truck in backing up TO a curb to
discharge a load will often crash
into a curbstone. The weight Of the
