HISTORICAL SKETCH.
The brief historical sketch of tho
chuich which is piesented hetewith Is
compiled fiom the excellent paper read
by Miss Lauia Hawkey.
It Is known that the Methodists of
Piovidonce held sei vices In a meeting
house as caily as 1811. This meeting
house was destiojcd by a tornado
shoitly after the above-mentioned date
and wns not lobullt. Worship was
continued in what Is now known as the
551ba Knapp home on Bast Maiket
stieet until IS 15, when a school house
near Weston place wao occupied The
Prov lelence Methodists assisted the
Piosbyteiians in election of a chuich
at the coiner of North Main avenue
and Oak stieet In 181!) and continued
to w oi ship theto until four yeais later
when they built a church of their own.
The lot on Providence rquaie on
which the piesent chuich now stands
was given to the Methodist society on
July :0, 1850, by Bdwaid Grlflln. In
November, 1SC1, the judges of Luzcine
county weie petitioned for a charter
tucoipoiatlng the "Flist Methodist
Episcopal chinch of Piovidonce" and
upon this being granted tho election of
the pitsent (lunch was begun and was
finally completed on Apill 1, 18.13, when
It was dedicated.
The chuich, as oilglnally dedicated,
was 36DJ feet In size but In 1S07 an ad
dition was built enlaiglng the base
ment t.o as to accomodate) the tapldly
gtovving Sunday school. In 1S71-7-,
twenty feet was added to tlio fiont of
the building at a cost of $8 000. Tho
chuich was lo-dedleated when this 1m
piovoment was completed, Bishop
Ames, of Boston, pi nulling the dedica
tory sermon.

From tho London liUgnnh
Loid Avebuty opened the wintei
session of the London Institution with
a pleasant address on tho "Senses and
Intelligence of Animals," Descartes
and rabte convinced themselves that
tho lower animals were mere auto
mata; Loid Aiebiuy, after numbeiless
obseivntlnns and e.porlmentii with
dogs, wasps, bees and ants, Is equally
assuied that they possess bensu and
gllinmeilngs of leason, the dlfi'oientcs
between them and ouisehes being In
degieo lathei than In quality of sen
tient. By continuous association of
food, tea, water and tho llks with
woids pilnted on caids, ho taught a
poodle to select the appiopriato caul
when the woid was iionouneyil, cnio
being tnKen that sceat should not bo

tho attempt to test the faculty of
counting In consequence of nn oNpeil
enco of Sir William Hugglns wltli his
dog Kepler. If such a statement as
D plus I, minus J, wero made In this
dog's pi es enco and his inuattr went
niuml n tow of ilguiesnu cauls placed
on tho lloor, Kepler nould select tho
collect one, '0," an evident taso of
thought leading. Something In tho n
tiouomei's mauueis shoved tho Intelli
gent cuMtuio which was the light card

Loid Avolnuy quoted otheis of seeming
stupidity.

With regaid to the senses of the low
er nnlmals, experiments wero recount
ed w tilth seem to show that In the mat
ter ot color and sound some insects,
while not possessing our peiceptlons,
are endowed with othera often moro
acute a capacity to distinguish shrill

that aie beyond our range of vision.
It wns, the lecturer confessed, to him
a fascinating Inquliy to And ln what
kind of a woild tho lower animalo

SOUTH CAROLINA WINES.
Thlity, oven twenty years ago, tho
wine Industiy was quite well del eloped
in South Cniollna, but during tho pust
ten j ears this Industry has steadily
decreased. The lesult In laigely due
to unjust luv.M and resti lotions that
have suiiounded the honorable busi
ness of wlne-maklng.
When tho state dispensary was es
tablished the whole wlno Industiy In
South cniollna was piactltally ruined,
Major J. J. Lucas of Society Hill le
cently called on (loiemor McSweeney
to beo If something could not be done
to pioildo lor the wile of native wines.
It seemit that the oillceis of tho fctato
dlspeiibtny icpoit that they cannot bot
tle or handlu natlvo wines in bulk, aH
that lequlics cxpeilencti und moio
knowledge than tho oillceis possebs, in
almost all cases the wines havo bo
coino tour, Tho icsult Is that the dls
penaniy will not buy the natlvo wines
of tho state, and under tho law suth
wine cannot bo sold In South Carolina
except tluough the dispensaries, Major
Lucas has laid tho facts befpro the gov
ernor, and theio Is no good leason why
wines which aro conduclio to tempei

TIIE COST Or TRADEMARKS.
The business of reglsteilug tiade
marks bus become u most Important
Industry. There ias a time, a compara
tively few yeais ago, when tho question
of protecting tiadermaiks dif. not enter
Into the commercial value ot the ar
ticles Invol.vd, as It docs now, This (s
due to the enormous Increase In adver
tising health foods, cereals, patent
medicines and novelties. The tariff of
charges for registering trade-marks In
the various countiies seems In some In
stances to bo based upon the idea that
authorized labels and tho like are a lux
ury. In Zululand, Peru, Urugury, Hong
Kong and Granada the tariff fixed by
law for each trade-mark Is $115 in gold,
the highest on the entire list.
In this country trade-marks aro filed
with the patent office, and tho price for
registeilng one Is $55, which Is tho low
est rate charged anywhere. Canada
charges only JtfO for a general or a spe
clal trado-tnaik. There are some coun
tries of Europe that demand $100 for
registeilng a trade-mark, but In Great
Britain, Germany, Austria, Franco and
Spain the fee In each case Is $75. This
Is the rate In the majority of tho Eng
lish colonies, including New South
Wales and New Zealand, but in Cape
Colony It Is $115, nnd In South Africa
$135; $135 Is also demanded in Costo
