The Wisconsin red oak has for several years taken high rank in furniture and fin- ishing factories on account of its softness, adaptability to shop work, its lively color and figure. When plain sawed it com- mands higher prices than any oak, al- though quarter sawed white oak is more expensive. According to the Northwestern Lumberman, this red oak belt in Wiscon- sin Is not wide, and at the rate the timber is being cut off it probably will not last more than six or seven years. In the northwestern part of the state, which is not yet opened up by railroads, there is a heavily timbered area, which may con- tain much red oak, but it will soon be traversed by a railway trom Duluth. How Floridians Live in Summer. From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Citizen, ‘The question is often asked, “How ‘do people manage to live in Florida during the summer?’ That they do live, and live comfortably, is evident. Few Floridians work very hard during the hot summer months, for food costs very little. The lakes and rivers are alive with fish, the ground is full of sweet potatoes, corn that will yield forty bushels to the acre is ripening in the 4ields, watermelons can be bought for five cents each, tomatoes are given away in mary places, fruits are plentiful, Florida beef is cheap and nour- ishing, and many other things can be had for almost nothing.

Luther B. Wilson, presiding elder of this district of the M. E. Church, spent last week at Ocean Grove. A conveution took place there of all the deaconess in the United States, and among the repre- sentatives from the clergy of this city were Dr. Wilson and Rev. Dr. A. H. Ames, superintendent of the local deaconess home. During the absence of the regular pastor of Foundry Church at Atlantic Highlands, Rev. J. M. Slarrow of this city is holding the Sunday services at Foundry. Rev, A. Thomas G. Apple, pastor of Grace Reformed Church, is spending the summer at Eureka Springs, Saegertown, Pa. Later he wili visit the springs at Reading and will then leave for home in time to be here the first Sunday in September. A few months ago the officers of Grace Church had the ventilation of the edifice thor- oughly overhauled and now they are en- Joying the benefit of the improvements. Mr. H. L. Walton, superintendent of the Union Mission at Norfolk, has sent a letter asking that Rev. E. D. Bailey, one of the directors of the local mission, come to Nor- folk and address the people of the city on the work and manner of work accomplish- ed by Gospel wagons. Two lady missionar- ies of Washington will also be sent to help the Norfolk mission in its work. The idea in modeling the latter orgunization on the plan of the one here is to bring it into full membership with the Union Mission Alli- ance, A year or so ago about fifteen thousand dollars was expended in alterations and improvements of the First Presbyterian Church. The board of trustees of the church have devised a plan by which the debt may be paid. The plan is to secure subscriptions to 475 shar2s of $30 each, payable in installments of fifty cents per month for five years. An effort is being made to have the whole amount pledged be- fore the centennial celebration of the on ev. Father J. R. Matthews, pastor of St. Cyprian’s Church, is taking ‘hus first va- cation since he was appointed to take charge of the parish. He is at Johnstown, Pa., and is to be away from the city about pe weeks. ‘wo conferences have been held by t board of directors of the Central Union Mission in regard to the proposed training sckool. Since the original offer was made of a location, several other desirable sites have been put at the disposal of the mis- sion. It is, however, nearly certain that the school will be opened for work, prona- bly at the Central Union Mission building on Louisiana avenue, in the fall. Nothing elaborate in the shape of courses of study will be attempted at first, but several ex- perfenced teachers will instruct pupils in maine study and in practical evangelistic york. Rev. M. Ross Fishburn, pastor of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, left Monday for a visit to his parents at Harrisburg, Pa. Mr. Fishburn will be ab- sent from his pulpit four Sundays, and during this period the Sunday morning services at the church will be conducted by the Rev. Mr. Jenkins of Herndon, the Rev. M. H. Fishburn of Long Island, a brother of the pastor, and the Rev. Mr. Johnson of this city. + The people of St. Cyprian’s Church have decided to add a Mbrary to the equipment of their new parochial school. Last Wed- nesday two of the organizations of the par- ish gave a picnic at East Washington Park, the proceeds of which will go toward pur- chasing the library. Enough money was raised by this means to at least establish the nucleus of a good sized library. The fifty-cents-a-week-plan, by which it is proposed to liquidate the indebtedness of the Central Union Mission building, has now reached a Mst of seven hundred names. Orly about a dozen names a week are se- cured during the warm weather, but dur- ing the fall it Is expected to obtain the oth- er two hundred, and when this is accom- plished the shadow of debt will have been lifted from the mission. Emory Grove camp meeting, provably the largest camp meeting in this confer- ence of the Methodist Church, will open in about. two weeks. Representatives from nearly every church in this city will be present. The last services will be held in Fifteenth Street M. E. Church, corner R, on Sunday, the 18th instant. The erection of the new chureh building is to be begun. At last Sunday's Y. P. 8. C. E. meeting of the Ninth Street Christian Church Miss Sadie Emmons, the delegate to Boston, gave her report—an echo of Boston. A pleasant feature of the evening was the reception of seven members of the church as active members of the society. Mr. A. W. Bowen, who has been the successful and popular president of the society for the past two years, has been selecied as a member of the good citizenship commit- tee of the District union. ——_—_ KITTEN IN THE ORGAN. . Minister's Discourse Cut Short Glowing Passuge. From the San Francisco Chronicle. The Rev. Edwards Davis, the poet-preach- er of Oakland, dellvered sermons yesterday morning and evening at Hamilton Hall, and on both occasions suffered interruption from an odd source. In the morning he was in the midst of one of his most beautiful word poems and thoroughly in touch with his subject, when he was interrupted by the faintest possible cat-call. The young preacher paused a moment, amazed. He continued, when again the “meaow” interrupted him. This time it was a little louder. The audience heard it and a smile passed over the faces of those nearest the platform. The preacher turned red in the face, paused a moment and looked about, then continued In an altered tone. He is an ex- temporaneous speaker and had lost the thread of his story. He struggled on, how- ever, and finished up his sermon, but not before a third wailing ‘““meaow’’ was heard from somewhere about the pulpit. A thor- ough search was made, but no feline was unearthed, and no small boy was any- where near. In the evening Mr. Davis had for his subject ‘Denominational Differences,” his pet theme. The Hamilton-hall minister has not been looked upon with favor by his straight-laced and orthodox brethren, and he sought to explain some things which he does not see through their glasses. The big organ boomed out its vesper music and the minister rose to his task. He had about finished his talk, was breath- ing easy and talking naturally with inward congratulations that the cat had vanished. He said: “Sectarianism is confessedly a necessity of the past, because it has been— Then that plaintive little cry came again. The minister trembled slightly, but gather- ed himself together and continued, ‘‘and of the present, because it is. But I maintain that it will not be a necessity of the future, but in some time to come men shall realize the utter uselessness of the——” “Meaow The minister faltered. The congregation did not titter, but the smiles were broad. The subject was lost and Mr. Davis adroitly turned to every-day affairs in this pleasant way: “The ridiculous is only an antithesis of the sublime, discord is a law of har- mony, darkness brightens light, and hate intensifies affection. The plteous mewing of a cat inspires sympathy. My sermon is nothing; the lesson of love is all. The ieast is great. Atoms formulate the universe. A babe on the breast of rest is a poem of peace and the lives of men unknown to fame are but the pauses in the narmony of the divine oratorio.” The audience was quickly dismissed ard the janitor was called, and the young preacher, a8 angry as a young preacher can possibly get, set up a thorough search for the cat. The two looked in every nook ard corner, and, while looking, another wail came from the direction of the big organ. The searchers turned their attention in that direction, and a close search revealed a month-old kitten ensconced behind the pipes. Preacher Davis took the starveling to his home and now counts it among his pets. —_—_—_+e+_____ How He Worked a Balky Horse. From the Punxsutawney Spirit. The subject under discussion was balky horses. John Miller, cashier of the Citi- zens’ Bank of Big Run, had the flucr. He sald: = “When I was a chunk of a boy my fa- ther had a balky horse which it occasion- ally fell to my lot to drive. It was a heart- rending experience and I often exhausted my patience and ingenuity in attempts to make him go. He would jog along all right on the level or down hill, but he would not go uphill. He would just stand. If you would lick him he would proceed to back. Finally I hit on a scheme. When I came to a hill I'd just turn the brute around and whip him and he would back up the hill. When he reached the top I just turned him around and he would go down all right.” The Woman’s Answer. From the Town and Country Journal. Jones asked his wife “Why is a husband ike dough?” He expected she would give it up, and was going to tell her it was “because a weman needs him,” but she said it was be- cause he was “hard to get off her hands. WHEELS AND PEDESTRIANS. An Interesting Comparison Between Them as to Effort and Speed. The Scientific American prints a very in- teresting comparison between a pedestrian and a bicycle, showing the great advantage of the latter in covering distance with the same amount of effort. It says: The great distance covered by bicyclists with ease shows conclusively that the hu- man walking apparatus, although it may be the best possible contrivance for all the uses for which it was designed, is not to be com- pared with wheels for the one purpose of getting over the ground. A single observa- tion of a wheelian going at a moderate speed shows that, with an effort which in walking would result in two steps of say two feet cach, or a total advance movement of four feet, with the wheel the advance movement would be two bicycle steps, or downward pressures of the feet, each re- sulting in a forward movement of seven and one-half feet, or fifteen feet for one entire revolution of the pedal shaft, and this with less exertion than is required to take two steps. In fact, it would be easier for the bicyclist to make the fifteen feet on a level with one pressure of one foot than to take two steps. Now, in view of these magnified steps made by the bicyclist, it would be interest- ing to know what the stature of a man must be to make in walking the same dis- tance made by the bicyclist, with the same number of movements of the feet. Clearly the steps in this case must be seven and one-half feet each, which at the lowest esti- mate represents three steps of an ordinary man. It would, perhaps, be nearer the mark to say four steps, but to be on the safe side we call it three, and have made an illustra- tion showing the comparative size of a wheelman and a pedestrian built to keep step with him. The pedestrian must be at least eighteen feet high. ‘The man with this great stature would, after all, fall far short of making the speed of the bicycle. There is nothing like rotary motion; the wheel would be the winner in any race. While the bicycle has the advan- tage over the extremely tall pedestrian, it is obvious that the tall wheelman has no ad- vantage over the short one. Aluminum Not Available. Naval officers who have recently exam- ined specimens of aluminum, which have been submitted to tests in salt water, say that the metal will not be available for use in the construction of naval vessels, be:ause after being in salt water for a time it crumbles to pieces.
