A HISTORIC CHURCH.
Unkad Fo' a Century With Official

Episcopal church. Just across I>afa
yette square from the White House,
mora presidents and men prominent In
Washlni,-t'.'n official life have worship
ed than In any qthtr church in the na
tional capital. St. John's, now a cen
tury old, was the flrst liul'.dlng to b«

White House, which was completed In
1800. The presidents of the United
States who worshiped here were John
Qulncy Adams. Madison. Mouroe, Van
Buren. William Henry Harrison, Tyler.
Taylor, Fillmore mid Arthur and In
more receut times the White House
was represented by Mrs. Roosevelt and
Mrs. Taft, who made St. John's church
their church home.
Other prominent people were regu
larly seen la the congregation, includ
In* Stephen Decatur. Henry Clay. John
C Calhoun, Chief Justus Fuller. Sal- ,
tnoa P. Chase. Benjamin F. Butler, '
Lewis Cass. George Bancroft, Wlnfleld
Scott and George Dewey. Its rectors
officiated at nearly all of the early
White House weddings, many notable
ones having taken place within Its sa
cred walls.
The denominations have been pretty
well represented in the presidency.
Grant attended the Metropolitan Meth
odist church, McKiuiev the Foundry
Methodist church: Benjamin Harrison
and Cleveland attended the Presbyte
rian church: Wilson is a Presbyterian
and, like Cleveland, the son t a Pres
byterian misiiiter; Gartleld \ as a mem
ber of ttw Disciples cturch, and
Roosevelt attended the t>utch Re
formed church.—Christian Herald.
Our Climate an Asset.
On no other continent, under no other
■un, In no other zone. In all the world
can be found the same extent of fer
tile, available agricultural land as in
these United States. And in no other
equally large tract as that stretching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
between the great lakes and the gulf
can be depllcated the same amount of
normally good weather as nature has
bestowed on this favored land. Our
rain and sunshine are so proportioned
the one to the other as to produce the
best yearly conditions on tarth.—De
troit Free Press.
Our Platinum Product.
The United States produces platinum
as a byproduct of copper refineries and
also from most of the placer gold
mines of the western slopes. Its occur
rence there is very widespread, being
found along the entire west coast, from '
Alaska to California. Except in a very j
few localities, however, it is found in j
«nch small quantities that its recovery |
save as a byproduct is not profitable.— |

Holy Land Earthquakes.
Earthquakes more or less violent 1
have been of frequent occurrence in
Palestine. One of the most violent oe- \
cnrred in the reign of Uzziah. This |
was connected by Josephus with the I
■aerllege and punishment of that mon i
^rch.
