In sixty-tour of these families both pa rents are church members; in sixty-nine, one parent is a member of some church; In thirty-two both parents are not of the church and unsaved. ■ Some of the latter are not wholly indifferent to their spiritual well being, having expressed a willing ness to have cottage prayer meetings in their homes. When tlie night school for the boys and Kills who worked In the factories was es tablished twelve pupils were enrolled. Now there are twenty-nine attendants upon the tmhool. A number of the young ladies in the church have expressed the desire to take places as teachers in the school, and soon as the attendance will warrant it st he number of teachers will be increased.

Fresno, Cal., Feb. 25.—'Fresno can of fer to sister cities a recipe for the sparrow pest. A picture representing the head of a bird, seared and almost denuded of flesh, •four legs—two of them with talons tightly gripping a wire—a piece of vitrified quartz. These vestigese are all that remain of two eagles that ventiured to alight on high potential transmission lin of the San Joa quin Electric Company, of Fresno, Cal., which makes a 10,000-volt circuit. It seems that one day when the trans mission plant was running with its. usual serenity, one of the transmissions devel oped a dead short circuit, .and there was trouble along the line and a cessation of service in Fresno. When the lineman who went out to ascertain the cause of the in terruption and repair the broken circuit had gone over nearly thirty milese of line they came to the break and the explana-' tion of which lay before them. This consisted of the scant relics of two gray eaglees—merely one skull and four feet and parts of two legs. Two of the talons clutched the line wire and were burned to a crisp, .but the other two fee't and pairs of legs were free from the marks of roasting. Not a vestige of the bodies or feathers of either bird, nor the head of one of them could be found. An other interesting proof of the terrific heat of the electric arc which they had evi dently been instrumental in causing was picked up. • It is supposed.that the two eagles alight ed on differed legs of the transmission current within such close proximity to each other that they actually came into contact, and in so doing formed a short circuit, which not only dissipated them for the most part, in blue smoke, but threw the wires into short circuits and burned them off.

The disaster which .befell the Maine in ■Havana harbor recalls, by its awfulness, the huricane of Apia harbor, Samoa, in which a Cincinnati man, Lieutenant Com mander R. M. G. Brown, brother to Post master Brown, with herioc presence of mind, saved the lives of hundreds of American sailors, says uhe Cincinnati Post. Liuetenant Commander Brown was the navigating officer of the Trenton, the larg est vessel in the Apia horbor at uhe time of the hurricane. There were more than four hundred sailors* aboard her. Waves were fifty feet high, with 'spray twenty feet higher. The Trenton, in the terrific gale which permitted no sail to be spread, was drifing oa to certain doom on the coral reef.- The men aboard (her were either cursing or kneeling on the decks praying. In these terrible moments, Brown, whose was the only voice that could be heard in the uproar, issued the order: “All hands into the rigging and make a human sail!” He was obeyed and the vessel was saved Not only did he save his own ship, but he was the rescuer of theseeminly doomed crew of the Vandalia, and American ves sel which had sunk and whose crew were clinging to the masts, which still protru ded above the water. Brown had the Trenton steered so that she grazed the Vandalia, and as the Tren ton swung around the stranded sailors cf the sunken vessel dropped on the decks of the Trenton. About forty of the Vanda lia’s crew had fallen into the sea and had been drowned before the others were thus rescued, The Trejjtpn passed on and was beached on the shore of the harb&r.

Mr. Phil Stephans, who is chief jailer for Bibbb county, has eonipiltd some very interesting figures from the books of the jail and makes a showing which, possibly, no other jail in the country can compare to. In the past eighteen years 16,000 pris oners have been placed in the Bibb county jail; and out of that number there is but one escape that has never been captured, and that is the man Johnson who escaped at the same time with Tom Allen and others. The increase of prisoners every year at the jail has been on an average of ten per cent, and the percentage is growing larger every year. The prisoner Johnson, who is still at large, did not belong to Bibb county, but was onlyy here for safe keeping from Dodge county. HQ.W DO YOU WALK? Character of a Person Truly Shown by the Gaft. ptetir.acy is indicated by the slow, heavy ■and flat-footed style of walking, while miserliness may be suspected from short, nervous and anxious footsteps. Turned-in toes generally ehara : t .'rize the absent-minded, and a stoop the stu dious and eeply reflective, whose thoughts are anywhere rather than with themselves. * Sly, cunning people walk with a noise less, even and stealthly tread, resembling that o fa cat. A proud person generally takes even steps, holds the figure upright and the head a little back and turns the toes well out. A gay and volatile person trips lightly land easily, n sympathy with his or her nature. Character is shown by all sorts of odities in gait. Quick steps denote agitation; slow steps cither long or short, suggest a gentle and contemplative turn of mind. A Straight Line. •'A straight line is the shortest distance between two points. /Geometrical Defini tion.)
