SHOUTING AMONG METHODTsTs.-lt
ia known that some years ago shouting
in Methodist meetings was universal
thing. It is equally well known that OF
late wears the practice has totally ceas-
ed. The cause of this change has be-
come a matter Of controversy, some
attributing it to the coldness OF the
preachers, others to the want OF piety
in the people. But venerable Wrlter
in the Pittsburg Christian Advocate
a Methodist pager of course-ciaims to
have the reason why shouting mas
ceased-in fact Chit the nail ON the
head,n as follows. Il -. i
Sir. in the olden times, l used ire
ouently to shout. and know had no
better preaching to shout nnder then
than sometimes have now, but like
the rest of my aged brethren, my days
Of shouting are passed, l fear never
more to return. And this is not be

as ever, and trust that | have a goo

has killed off shouting more than any
thing else, has been this constan
clamoring for money. Whenever "

as is sometimes the case, we are fes
trained by the expectation that. =

Keeping Grapes Under Ground

A correspondent Of the Grape Cul-
turist says MANY years ago, whlie
in the nursery business, customer
wanted some vines of me, and While
they were being dug up he asked me
if I kept any grapes over winter
This was in March. OF course he
got a negative reply. Well, said ne,
When I come next week for trees l
will bring you some along. The
thing seemed but a joke to me at the
time. but of course l thanked HIM
for the kind offer. True to his prom
Use. when he came a week or ten days
thereafter, he broughtme some. Not
a few berries as might have been ex-
pected, but at least five pounds
They were Isabellas and Catawoas'
perfectly plump, sweet and fresh, al
though most of the berrieshad drop
ned from their stems. With the ex-
ception of very slight earthly taste,
thew were certainly excellent.
) "The question, of course, was ask
ed, how do you keep them thus
The reply was, that in the fall, as latf
as the cold will admit, they were
gathered in clear day when per
fectly dry box about eight lnche
. deep was taken, layer OF greer
t leaves was taken from the vines ant

tight, and bury deep enough to es

The st. Louis Democrat, the old-es-

party in that State. 1t SAYS,
"The Radical party died about half
