Sealed Tight Kept Right .WRIGLEYS, CHEWING GUMT GIVEN 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 IV, and was not revoked till the reign of Wil liam and Mary. It was granted as a 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, nnd by a bull dated 1483 Sextus IV threatened to excommunicate any one who violated the order. On the whole, It was fairly rigidly observed, and when a Guernsey vessel was taken In the j channel by a privateer of Morlaix,. the I islanders with their boat were re-! leased, but a few Englishmen on j board, with their merchandise, were captured. The privilege does not seem to have been of any great com mercial value, for when it was with drawn the islanders made more money than before by fitting their ves sels out as privateers. The Reason. “I will never marry Kate now. There is an insuperable bar to our union.” "Good gracious, Jack! What is it?” “She won’t have me.” The occasional use of Roman Eye Bal sam at night upon retiring will prevent and relieve tired, watery eyes, and eye strain.—Adv. NOVEL HOUSES OF WORSHIP Her Method. “IIow did your wife ever get the carpet man to come on time?" “She- simply floored him with her talk and then nailed litm down to a date.” High Finance. Mr. Sapp—They told me at the bank I’d never find any one to take that Golden Goose mine stock off my hands. Mr. Simp—They told me the same about my Dry Hole oil stock. Roth—Let’s swap. It’s useless to waste sympathy on a man who has the toothache. If a gown becomes a woman .she be comes anxious to show it off. One Missionary;to Eskimos Made Use of Sealskins and Another Em ployed Only Snow. One of the queerest churches ever known was built by a 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 Eski mos of Blacklead island were unable to procure food fob themselves or for their animals. One night dogs made their way to the strange church edi fice and began consuming it, with the result that when morning came there was not a 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 heat it. Grotesque Nourishment. “There’s ft time for everything," said the ready-made philosopher. “Fortunately,” rejoined Miss Cay enne. “I’d seldom enjoy my breakfast if they insisted on coloring eggs the year round as they do at Easter." k A Food That Builds!

Ayer, an Atlanta practitioner, read a paper explaining how he and his associates have removed from the oesophagus and bronichal tubes fovnign substances which for one reason and another were lodged in these vital parts. By way of illustrating his paper, Dr. Ayer exhibited to the assembled medicos a German coin which he had extract ed from the lung of a returned soldier. The veteran swallowed the coin in a fit of excitement and it lodged in his lung, and there defied the most expert medical talent in Europe until his re turn to America. Atlanta.—Following the petition for injunction by the Atlanta Mirror and Beveling company against certain of ficers of the Atlanta Local, 1027, Glass workers’ Union, which was filed in the Fulton county superior court, a meet ing of the members of the Glass Work ers’ Local, members of the Atlanta Building Trades Council and members of the Ajflanta Federation of Trades, was held, when it was decided to place the matter of resisting the permanency of the restraining order in the hands of the executive committee of the cen- tral labor body, with power to act. This action means that the glass work ers, backed by organized labor in At lanta, will resist the legal effort to deny the union the right of picketing the plant of the petitioning cmpany, Atlanta. — Thirty-one conventions, with an aggregate attendance of 5,60 people, were entertained in Atlanta with an aggregate attendance of 5,600 during the month of April, an aver age of more than one convention a day. Fred Houser, secretary of the Atlanta Convention Bureau, keeps a calendar on all conventions, with a record of attendance, the names of those in charge and other interesting data. The calendar shows that April was one of the most active convention months in the history of the “Pinna cle City.” It was not a month of large conventions, but a month filled with a constant round of small con ventions, representing many and di vers lines of business. The largest in attendance was the American Nurses’ Association, meeting here April 12-17, with a total attendance of 3,000. Atlanta.—Inability to secure cement and other necessary road-building ma terial at any price is seriously ham pering the projects which the state now has under construction. Dr. C. N. Strahan, chairman of the highway commission, has reported this. Doctor Strahan says that the board is ar ranging to get cement in small quan tiittes by taking a few barrels eacl from several manufacturers, but tha the makers are so jammed with orders, that they are able to command their own prices and it seems likely that this material will soon be off the mar ket at any price. The highway com mission has bids out for a million gal lons of asphalt to be used in road surfacing, but this material also is get ting so scarce that there is a grave possibility of its early withdrawal from the market entirely. Besides the scarcity of material the commission is also greatly hampered by the scarcity of cars to haul it, and the uncertainty of transportation, after the material has been contracted for, adds greatly to the dificulties encountered in the continuation of road work. Waycross.—The county commission ers of Echols county have decided to hold a bond election to decide wheth er the county will issue bonds amount ing to $70,000, to be used for road con struction and repair. This is the first bond election in the history of the county, which was laid out in 1859, a debt never having been incurred tha could not be paid from the curren taxes.
