tion of the constitution. We are, then
prepared to see if any change was made
in that respect in the new order Of affaire.
The first Congress under the constitu-
tion began on the 4th Of March, 1889
but there was not quorum for business
till the lst Of April. On the 9th of the
month Oliver Ellsworth was appointed,
on tile part Of the Benate, 10 confer with
committee of the House bn rules, and
on the appointment Of charlains. Tho
Houso chose FIVE mcn-Boudinot, Bland,
Tucker, Sherman, and Madison. The
result Of their consultation was recon-.
mcndation to appoint two chaplains Of
different denominations - one by the
Senate and one by the House-to inter.
change weekly. The Senate appointed
DR.. Provost, on the 25.h Of April.
On the lst day of May Washington's
first speech was read to tho House, and
the fr1 business after that speech was
the appointment of DR.. Linn as chaplain.
BY whom was this plan made2 Three
out of six of that joint committee were
members Of the convention that framed
the constitution. Madison, Ellsworth.
and Sherman passed directly from tho
hall of the convention to the hall of Con-
grcss. Did they not know what was con-
stitutional +? The law Of 1899 was pass
cd in compliance with their plan, giving
chaplains salary of $500. Itwas rc-eu-
acted In l5l6, and continues to the pres
cnt time. Chaplains have been appoint
cd from all the leading denominations
- Methodist, Baptist, Episcopalian,
Presbyterian. Congregationalist, Catho-
lie, Unitarian and others.
| ain aware that one of our petition

not in the body of the constitution, but

the argument III favor of chaplains. In
the convention of Virginia which propos-

that the appointment of cbaplains was
unconstitutional. The convention of
Virginia elected en- its first day a chap

NEW FARMS LATELY DlsCovERED..- j.
Lawyers have known for long time that
landholder owned down far below the
surface. But farmers never suspected
that their deeds gave them a right to
more than six inches of the surface. No
person scarcely has thought of looking
deeper, except the diggers for gold and
water. The subsoil plough is revealing
to agrlculturists treasures before un.
known Discoveries in the earth are
keeping pace With those in the sky, and
n new earth is open to the cultivator, as
new heaven is to the astronomer. In
the soil is great source of phosphate of
lime, which few farmers have hit upon
! mean in the part of the farm which lies
six inches deeper under the farm. There,
since the dolugo lies undlsturbed the fer
tlllzer, usually hard. Roots of the
grams and grasses cannot penetrate it,.
There 1t is, and has been accumulating
for thousands Of years, insolublc, except

Not one farmer in twenty ever plows
deeper than six inches. The roots can.

As beneficial as the subsoil plow has
proved to be where used, not one farmer

"There is said to lie some 1900 Of

6 600 Jews are to be found in The city of

never in our poor houses. At Wards

poor drifting across from the shores of
the old World are continually gathering

York during the present winter. This
carly and unfailing attention, of those
