SAFE BEHIND IRON DOORS.
Row a Brooklyn Harratnent Service la
Protected From Th‘ *es.
It in generally accepted as a fact that
the moot expensive and elaborate taber
nacle for tbe Horvicos in thi* country in
tbat belonging to St. Augustine’*
churob, Brooklyn. Formed entirely of
gold and silver and Htudded with pre
clou* HtnuoH, it would prove a rich haul
for tbe daring but «aorilegion* marauder.
Thi* fact wa* fully appreciated by the
church authorities, who have deviated a
plan of protection which i* a* near per
fect a* oau be. It i* an eleotrio system,
unique and effective, aud uow wbeu tbe
congregation arrive* tbe tabernacle ia
in full view, but a* aoou a* the congre
gation is dismisged tbe tabcruaole dis
appear* completely, apparently witbont
human aid.
Two great, heavy harveyizud iron
door*, which have been covered with
gold leaf, roll forward at the pres* of
an electric button and completely con
ceal and protect tbe costly chancel.
These folding doors meet in a dome at
tbe top to afford protection in that direc
tion. Tbe motion of tbe doors i* alow
and easy, special apparatus being de
vised for tho purpoHO, tbe door* moving
on heavy roller bearing*. The motion
is imparted to them by means of a sys
tem of gears, actuated by au electric
motor installed directly beneath in the
cellar. In order that no one should have
access to the actuating push buttons
these are placed in a regulation lire and
burglar proof vault of massive construc
tion, the combination to whioh is
known only to the rector and his asso
ciates. All the wires leading to the mo
tor from the source of supply are con
nected at vaiious points to the local po
lice and burglar alarm service, so thut
should any one tamper with the wires
notification would be given immediate
ly. The safe doors are so constructed
that should any one attempt to drill
through them other electric circuits
would be closed and the alarm given.
When the doors before the tabernacle
are closed, it is completely inclosed in
heavy iron on all sides, so that it is
much safer than if au armed guard
stood watch before it.—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Homes of the Anthracite Miners.
A group of papers dealing with the
Pennsylvania coal regions appears in
The Century. Jay Hambidgugives ‘‘An
Artist’s Impression of the Colliery Ke
gion.” Mr. Hambidgesaysof oueof the
“patches" where the miners live: Each
little house, with the boxes, cubby
holes and fences about it, has been built
by the man who lives in it. And he is
a laborer, a strugglor for mere existence,
not deft in the use of tools, nor with au
eye for the symmetrical, nor with an
appreciation for anything beyond the
most primal facts of living. The roofs
of the buildings slant at all angles,
with no two sides of the same length or
deflection. One portion will have eaves,
while its companion will scorn the lux
ury. The same incongruity prevails ev
erywhere. Home of the small openings
used for windows are high, while others
are low. One door will open in and an
other out. The hinges huve evidently
come from the oompauy scrap pile, and
the staples and latches and looks from
tho same source. Some of therools have
shingles, others weatherboards, while
others are formed of great pieoes of
rusty sheet iron.

Tho distant murmur of tbe waterfall,
tbe bmn of tbe bees among tbe flowers,
made me feel lazy, and, laying aside
my fishing rod, I stretched myself on
tbe soft spring grass under a weeping
willow and watched tbe blue, cloud
specked sky. I bad almost fallen asleep
when I was aroused by a voice inquir
ing, ''Notched enny fish, mister?”
Looking np, I saw a typical moun
taineer and nssured him I bad not.
"1 say, mister, this here is a power
ful bad keutry far snakes. One bit Jim
Hloan's bay mare last night, an week
afore last auotin r bit Hally Milligan.
Home on ’em air powerful pizen, spe

Ho ain't zactly perty to look at, an ef
ye wuz to rile 'im with yer boot be

Ixmg before that speech bad ended I
bad turned a somesanlt backward, wkioh
canned tbe mountaineer a great deal of
genuine pleasure to behold. I was about
to exterminate tbe big, sluggish reptile
with a stick tbat I bad seized when my
companion asked me to wait a few mo
ments, as a king might oome along.
Not exactly understanding whether
he expected a person of tbat Dame and
falling to see what tbat event bad to do
with my landable desire to smash tbe
big. ugly thing tbat bad presumed to
take my leg for a pillow, I asked him
for an explanation.

boss snake uv the woods. He don’t do
no harm to nothin, ’oeptin snakes, an
be don’t pester them as hain’t pizen.
But he do love a copper an a rattler,
which is tbo wurst snakes uv these dig
gin’s, an he’s death on 'em.
“T'other day I wuz gwlne long a old
road, an all uv a sudden I heerd a singin
as though a camp meetin had just tuok
in. lknowed it wuza rattler, an lookiu
round I saw him on a knoll, an a pow
erful big un be wuz. He wuz quilled up
like a oorksoruw, an bis rattles wuz
a-makin the air jingle. But at first I
couldn’t ’soovur the oause, an I knowed
a rattler never got ready fur business
fur nothin. Presently I seed the grass
a-swuyiu an a-bendin, un then the rat
tler, be gets nervius an skeered, an un
quillin hiaself be made a break to run.
“But it wuz too late, fur on oame the
king like a hurricane, an puttin hiaself
just ahead the rattler showed him his
jig wuz up. Beein he oouldn’t ’scape,
tbo rattler quilled ag'in an showed
fight. The king, he oommenoed to run
round his inimy in a wide oirole, the
rattler watchin, liokin out his tongue
an inakin his rattle sing like a baujer.
Closer an closer the king drawed his
circle as be dashed round until he
wuzn’t more’n three feet from the ini
my.
“Then tho rattler, thinkin he saw
the last show to save bis baoon, made a
powerful spiti i'ul lunge at the king,
an tbar is wbar he slipped up, fur the
king he dodged, an quioker’n gunpow
der wuz on to the rattler. Tbar wuzn’t
nothin but a ball uv snakes in sight fur
a few minutes as they fought an tus
sled over the grass, but arter a little I
could see the red an black striped king
wound round the big rattler just like
a grapevine on a tree.
"Then I seed the king hold ’im by
the back uv the neck, an I oould hear
him crushin the rattler as he tightened
on him. It wuz all over in half an hour,
an the king, unwindln hisself from his
viotim, got behind an waited fur ten
minutes. Then he crept up an put his
nose on the rattler’s to see if ne wuz
breathin. Ye see, other snakes know
•no nu duiucuuioo |iuhuuj uu uiui
by prctendin to be dead.
''But tbe rattler wuz shore 'nullgone,
an when tbe king wuz satisfied uv this
he orawled in a old stump hola an
presently came ont with a mouse’s tail
atickin out hie mouf. But he soon
■wallowed the mouse, an, wipin his nose
on tbe grass, went otf aarohin for more
trouble. A king allers eats a rat or a
toad after a fight to make him strong
fur the next un.
“An now, mister, I oould tell ye a
powerful lot more’n that, fur I knows
snakes, I do, but I'll help ye kill tbe
copper, wbiob mout not meet a king
until he bites some nn ef we didn’t, an
then I must burry on after my oxen,

Cleanliness.
One of the most important faotore in
maintaining health in good order la
cleanliness. It is comprised in measures
that tend to keep the organs olean and
In proper order to perform ail their
functions- Tbe cleanliness of tbe skin
and tbe air (purity of tbe air) that wa
breathe in are essential for tbe proper
keepiug of one'* health. Any impurities
that are taken lu breathing find their
way to the blood, and thus serve so
many centers of disease and are the
cause of many lufeeiioua diseases
Again, if the skin is not kept clean the
impurities that are In be secreted are
unduly accumulated in the blood and
lend to give rise in severe and often
dangerous disorders, such as skin die
ts see and blood poison lug. —Mew York
