Han Ihreatened with Starvation by Hi IUeuting Parishioner. k remarkable boycott has been begun be-gun on the island of St Kilda, off the coast of Scotland, against the Rev. Mr. Fiddes. It is a forcible expression of the opposition of his parishioners to the religious views of the minister, v ho now is threatened with starvation by reason of the refusal of the islanders island-ers to help him transport his winter supply of provisions. i Mr. Fiddes, who was a minister of .the Free Church of Scotland, joined the majority of the General Assembly in forming the United Free Church along with the United Presbyterians. -The Highland congregations of 'the Free Church refused to join the new body. The people of St. Kilda have taken Bimllar stand, and bitterly resent tlte attitude adopted by Mr. Fiddes. The steamer Hebrides called at St. Kilda on Thursday with stores. The Islanders took away their own goods, but stubbornly refused to, take their minister's stcc of coal and provisions ashore in the ferry. Consequently they tad to oe kept on the vessel. Mr. Fiddes sent a message to the cap-iain cap-iain stating that he would have men find boats waiting to take the goods a on the vessel's arrival at Obbe, but hen the steamer reached there no one upper, red, and the goods could not be landed. As this was the last trip of the vessel ves-sel this season, Mr. Fiddes is in danger .of being left without his usual supplies for nine months. It is Btated in Glasgow that the tJnited Free Church will not allow their representative to remain in this awkward predicament, and that a re-Hpf re-Hpf pvtiedltion will be oreanized New "York Press.

A new procesa of preparing wood for building is In use in Austria. Green wood is placed in a large wooden trough whose bottom is covered with a lead plate. This is connected with the positive pole of a battery. Covering Cover-ing the wood is a second lead plate which forms the negative pole. The wood Is then subjected to a bath In a solution composed of 10 per cent, resin and 75 per cent. Boda. Under the influence in-fluence of the electric current the pap Is drawn out of the wood and rises to the surface, the solution being absorbed ab-sorbed by the wood. The operation re-quires re-quires from five to eight hours. The treated wood is allowed to dry for about two weeks, when it is ready for use. The drying can be hastened artificially arti-ficially if desired. Demand (or Apartment House.

Moreover, prices of apartments have increased very materially. An average apartment, apart-ment, as the average was fivo years ago, might have rented for from $S0O to $1,000. Apartments that are now merely "average apartments" rent for nearly twice as much. Of course, th"y are much more attractive and convenient. conven-ient.
