CHURCH BELLS.

In 60 years the number of Episcopal churches in Scotland has grown from 75 to 321.

The new organ of the Church of St. Ig- natius, San Francisco, weighs more than 100,000 pounds and has more than 5,000 pipes.

A correspondent of The Northwestern Christian Advocate (Methodist) suggests that Methodist bishops wear robes on pub- lie occasions.

There are four livings in the English church worth a little less than $40 a year each. To call such parishes ‘‘livings’’ seems a trifle inaccurate.

It is said that in ‘he last 25 years the members of the Church of England have voluntarily contribu .d more than $400,- 000,060 to foreign anel home missions, to church building and repair, to elementary education and to cherity.

Man-of-war Pets,

Bocks about pets seem to have been set going in great numbers by the Lon- fon $pectator’s collection of “dog stories.’’ The classifications are rapidly extending. We have already had sol- diers’ pets, and a correspondent writes te the London Daily News to ask why there should not be a volume on man- of-war pets. To this the answer was given:

‘‘Tho parrot has been Jack’s prime favorite in all ages, and at least one story told of Jack’s pet beats all the stories ever told of Tommy’s pets. This particular parrot was an inmate of Cocbrane’s ship on the occasion of a cruise on the Norwegian coast. The hospitable Norwegians were invited to visit the British frigate. Lacies were heict:d on board by means of a chair fasten: to a rope running over the vard. Whenever the chair reached the deck the crder was given, ‘Let go!’ While one of the lady visitors was still in midair the ship's parrot yelled out, ‘Let go!’ And down she went into the sea, chair and all, The seamen thought it was the boatswain’s order. And if it be sug zested that the excuse was insin- cere the fact is vouched for that the parrot’s habitual imitation of the boat- swain’s pipe was so perfect that it sume- times brought up the ship’s company at the run. In battle or in a storm the parrot’s orders might easily play havoc. But the glorious old tar was much too superstitious to wring the bird’s neck, And the only remedy left was to blow up the parrot in language as lurid and limited as its own. Perhaps there may be some subtle sympathy between the parrot and human beings strongly emo- tional but linguistically weak.’’

Approves Purloining of Umbrellas.

At a banquet given in London by the Guild of Metropolitan Cabmen, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Record, the Prince of Wales, who was in the chair, bore a glowing tribute to the honesty of the fraternity, mentioning that daring the last year several thou- sand pounds in money, jewels and se- curities that had been forgotten in Lon- don cabs had been either restored by the drivers to the losers or else turned over to the police. Ths prince added that there was only one form of lost property which no hack driver ever had been known to return—an umbrells. This, however, he declared could not be con- sidered as in any way affecting their honesty. In the first place, the appro- priation of an umbrella was under no circumstances contrary to the ethics of honor, and, secondly, the cabman would be a very @istinct sufferer from a pro- fessional point of view if he were to dream cf restoriupg an umbrella to its owner, for a man who is overtaken by the showers that fall each day in the British metropolis and who happens to have no umbrellainvariably hails a cab if he happens to have in his pocket enough to pay his fare, whereas, if he is proviced with an umbrella he usually dispenses with a cab,

‘Lhis, I believe, is the first occasion on which the purloining of umbrellas ever has been commended publicly from the steps of a throne and may be re- garded in more senses than one as a sign cf the times.

Seeondhand Silver In the White Houses,

“It seems that when the executive mansion was again occupied by Mr. Monroe after its destruction tke United States purchased at an appraisement his private furniture, and with it a ‘small service of plate,’’’ writes ex-President Harrison in The Ladies’ Home Journal. **In 1833 the most important purchase of silver plate was made for the ex- ecutive mansion, and at secondhand. The pieces constituted the outfit of a Russian nobleman, M. Je General Baron de Tuyll, who had been the minister resident of Russia at thecourt of Portu- gal. The total cost was $4,308.82. The silver service consisted of 338 pieces, and there was a gold plated dessert set of spoons, knives, forks, ete., consisting of 140 pieces. These ‘gold spoons’ were perniciously active in the campaign of 1840. Much of this old silver is still in use—and a piece or two has been added now and then, but the White House plate is now meager compared with that to be found in the home of many a pri- vate citizen who at the time it was bought was playing in his bare feet about the cabin door of a pioneer. The silver service recently presented by the citizens of Indiana to the battleship of that name cost $7,785.10—much more than the seriyee used in the White House. ’’

The Manufacture of Pins. -

The largest pin factory in the world is that of Birmingham, England, where 37,000,000 ping are manufactured every working day. All the other pin facto- ries in England together turn out about 19,000,000 pins every day. The daily output of pins in France exceeds 20,000,000, and Germany and other countries in Europe manufacture about 10,000,000 more daily, so that the total production of pins amounts to about 86,000,000 every day in Europe alone. The question naturally arises, “What becomes of all these pins?”’ According to a statistician, only a minimal part is broken, worn out or spoiled by bending, but almost 99 per cent are lost. Taking the population of Europe at 250,000,000, every third person must lose a pin ev- ery day to use up the production of pins per day. The value of this loss would be £4 000
