The cat was una'. ie to crawl, nobody in tlio house had supplied it with food and the windows of the ce l lar were tightly clcsed. Mr, Jones was puzzled, but he deter mined to investigate. Placing some scraps of t read and meat on a plate, ho laid it in the center of the cellar, pud, taking a position at the near window, he awaited developments. He had not long to wait. In a miunte or two lie saw a mouse creep cautiously toward the plate, aiid then Brother.

A- T. yarns for the market. They have therefore begun the erection of a 75 by 00 feet addition, two stories, to be filled with twister spindles. Work is now rapidly progressing on this build ing, and it will be quickly finished and the new twister frames installed. The Monroe, N. C., Cotton Mills are daily expecting the arrival of one Providence speeder and two Lowell cards, which they ordered recently. These mills are now changing from single to double roving. Whitin gravity spindles have been purchased for four spinning frames to replace part of the spindles now in use. The mill is running nicely, and the 8,320 spindles are kept humming day and night. The Victoria Cotton Mills, Rock Hill, 8. C., will not start up their 320 harness looms. They will operate their 8,000 spindles on yarns for the market. If they decide to go on to D. A T. yarns they will probably change a few spinning frames into twisters. Though the probability is that they will | tp. in a cone winder and make hosiery yarns.

It was not till a later time, and when that area had been subdivided into smaller areas, each of which was com mitted to the oversight of a priest re sponsible for such functions as only a priest could discharge, that the smaller area got to be called the parish, while the larger area, comprehending an ag gregate of parishes, was called the bish op’s diocese. As time went on, by a Japanese Indoor Canics. The indoor sports and nmn'eTnents for evenings at homo .are mainly card games and stery telling. The father tells his sons the tales of the mighty ■ heroes of past ages, relates Japanese history and teaches reverence and obe dience to the mikado, the “heaven ap pointed ruler;” or the grandmother, gathering the little ones in a circle around the brazier tilled with hot coals, tells them wonderful fox stories, stories of demons and gnomes and clever fables about animals. Their game of gomr.n is like our checkers, but it requires 360 pieces in stead of 24. It is played on a raised stand. In the game of chess they have 40 pieces.

Private theatricals are a very confusion in language, of which abnn- common form of amusement; among dant examples might bo given, the name, which was strictly a designation of the geographical area, got to he ap plied to the coinmuuity inhabiting that area, and thus the word parish is, even iu our own days, used sometimes to in dicate the area inhabited by the com munity and sometimes the community itself. In the latter sense the parish was a purely religious organization, distinct iu its origin, its working and its aims from the manor, the township or the tithing, though composed of the same personnel, man for man. “The parish was the community of the township or ganized for chnrch purposes and subject to church discipline, with a constitu tion which recognized the rights of the whole body as an aggregate ami the right of every adult member, whether man or woman, to a voice in self gov ernment.—Rev.
