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.”

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

“Fortunately,” rejoined Miss Cay

if they insisted on coloring eggs the
year round as they do at Easter."

Macon.—Old and battered coins en
gaged the attention of the Georgia
Medical society when Dr. Guy D. 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

exhibited to the assembled medicos

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. In the past four years fortj
miles of highway have been laid ou
