The company proposes to build s trolley road from Orangeburg to Aiken and want to interest the people of Aiken in the pro ject, The Board of Trade will take up the matter and arrange for a meeting on Monday. A trolley line is now bring built from Charleston to Summerville, and we have one from Aiken tc Augusta, therefore only the gap of about 90 miles between Aiken, and Summerville needs to be built to give a continuous line from Augusta to Charleston. That this will be built before long, we have no doubt.

"I wan once showing a young Japa nese around Boston."says a correspond- *ut of The Living Church, "and casual ly dropped into Trinity church with him. He was at the time a recent con vert to Unitarianism in his own conn try and was wide awake to everything connected with American civilization and American Christianity. '‘A few minutes after enteringTriuity as we approached the center aisle, i noticed him making a distinct sniffling coise and. looking toward him, saw that he was in the act of smelling, his nostrils moving convulsively after the maimer of an animal scenting some thing. Looking surprised and mysti fled, I at once asked him what was th« matter, and in broken English he re plied.

If so, you must have seen them grow more and more uneasy as the clouds gathered. You also saw them run up and down the field, as If seeking to escape some impending danger. Finally, when the storm breaks, they draw close together and with lowered heads present a pi<> ture of despair. Domestic animals when it rains will always keep indoors, or, falling that they will seek shelter bj' the barn oi under trees or beneath the hedges an<f thickets—in shirt. In any convenient place where they may not be entirely exposed to the downpour. It is the same with fowls. They -Its like the rain, which soaks their feath ers. They seeksfc^teivd places and p under or behind boxer auaS>an]a^^^^^^Es do not mind get Dug me ground soon after a"saower In search of worms and beetles. Wild birds do their best to keep out of the rain. Some of them build a root over their nests; others choose a home ander the eaves or under a projeetiuv, cliff, where they may be safe from the discomfort that the rain brings. But most of them are without rheltei provided in advance by their own fore thought. These take refuge in an; place that they happen to find at hand If you watch them before the storm you will see them looking for such a place. If the storm comes suddenly the small and helpless ones seem be wlldeied, flying from tree to tree and from limb to limb, quite unable to makr op their minds exactly where to hiih themselves.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
