whoever had been the favorite at the start,
Mcdonald was the favorite at the close of
the heat, and NO small amount of hedging
took place. The epd of the last heat
showed that the friends of Mcdonald
were altogether right, and those of
Sue Dougherty not far wrong. The
horse without q name pushed the latter
very hard. however, but it was no 60; Sue
was second best at any rate, though she
was obliged to be contented with that
honor. as Mcdonald kept the lead she had
gained. The horses reached the winning
post in the following order: Mcdonald.
Dougherty, Village Blacksmith and Hinton,
Mcdonald winning, and Sue Dohgherty
being second ir both heats. Time: first

sAlwdter IN the Maryf1hd Church
Record pleads for greofng decree of
earnestism in the respona ~ the Epis-
cOpal service; and suggeG(1 q = meozss
of enhancing the effective of this
department Of public wofsklp, t1,ot the
young men Of q congregation should
meet together for practices. Atasuper-
fetal view, this would seem ct vari-
ance with the true idea of devotion,
which implies something Of spontane-
ity, not to say inspiration, IN the wor-
shipper. But the forms Of devotion are
independent of the spirit that animates
them-and all We can say Is that they
should be SO ordered rs 10 be most IA
vorable to the reception Of the divine
influence into the heart, and to the ex.
preston of its devotional results In
praise and prayer. Hence-nOt to elab-
crate the thought-it Is perfectly legit-
innate to speak, both subjectively and
Objectively, to the effectiveness of "di-
vine service" and to cultivate In 1t that
beauty and order, without which we
get all the formality of form, while we
sacrifice the freedom of spontaneous
ness. Hence We heartily accord with
this writer when he says: "Whatever
adds to the effective power of public
worship, whether the reading of the
the service and lessons, the offering of
the litany and prayers, the instruction
and exhOrtation of the sermon, the
leading of the music in the choir, the
cooperation of the people in that mu-
sic, their hearty responses i'm so much
of the service as falls to their perform
ance, all this, We say, is real Chris
tan work and means of usefulness"
We love the beautiful liturgy of the
Episcopal Church; but, like the female
character, which, by reason of its very
perfection of delicay, becomes all the
more repulsive if perverted, this litur-
gy, when performed i'm confused or
lifeless manner, becomes burden i'm
suggesting its own sublime ideal. We
have often wondered that our Episcc-
pal friends, who have entrusted SO
much to the ritual of fworship--of which
other churches have been, perhaps too
much, afraid, do not take greater pains
to perfect that ritual, by, for instance,
teaching their clergymen to read well,
training their congregations to respond
heartily and In concert, and making
more provision for the grand and inspi-
ring effect of singing by the masses

Net GuIIty.

In the Golden City q gentleman of
the name of Jones recounts his expert
ence of juries. He lived in the small
town Of Bloodandthundervi where
he saw man brought In mot guilty"
of murder because he had shot the
seducer of his wife. This gave him
an idea. He remembered that in by
gone days one Mr.. McNfichael had
horsewhipped him with impunity.
Thirsting.for revenge Jones went off
and incontinently shot McMichael; he
was brought to trial, and told the jury
that he once had q wife who loved
him till the spoiler came, and that
spoilers name was McMiehael. In
stantly the jury rOared mot guilty."
Then he shot man who had pulled
his hose in days of yore. When the
twelve heard him sob, II had sister
once who - they madly yelled mot
guilty." Then he killed a man who
had caned him: "Ah, gentlemen
said he to the duodecemvirf, "have you
mothers-in-law ? I lad one once, but
this viper, this asp, this cobra di cape
lila, this anaconda, this boa-constrictOr,
the deceased" "Not guilty,n they
yelled in chorus. Mr.. Jones had an
other enemy who had cowhided him.
He murdered him also, but by this
time all his dissolute relative, had been
used up, and when he sObbed. "Ah,
gentlemen, had . cat, - the jury alb
surdly refused to render a verdict of
"not guilty." and so his lawyer had to
get new trial for him, which he did,
an thus cleared him. He is now
afraid to do bloody deeds.

the CENSUS COMPLETE.
Populasi0n Of the Unlted states Ac.
eOrding % Census Burenu Figures.

The following table, prepared by the
Census Bureau at Washington, gives
the total population of all the States
and Territories of the Union by the
enumeration of 1870, as compared with
that Of 1850. Several statements pur-
porting to give the result of the last
census have been floating through the
newspapers, bat this is the first that has
appeared with the official sanction. 1t
will be seen that the total population
of the United States in 1870 was 3S,-
53S, $50, an increase in ten years of
1901, $50. This increase is not SO much
as was generally expected; but when it
is considered that the great civil war of
the last decade swept away several hun
dred thousand citizens, and that. per-
haps, as many emigrants from abroad
were discouraged from coming to our
shores from the same cause, the coun-
try has really been doing very well.
The greatest percentage Of increase is
in Nevada, and after it Nebraska. Two
States only exhibit a decrease-Maine
and New Hampshire. All the Western
States show heavy percentages of in
crease, the Southern and Middle States
a small increase, while New England
is almost at stand-still. The table il

EXPLOSIVE OIIs.-At a meeting of
the Board of Health of New York city,
DIR. Bunch, the Sanitary Superintend-
ent, made an interesting report on ex-
plosive oils. He had subjected several
specimens of it to the fire test, and the
fact was developed that oil which had
permanently ignited at 10 degrees, and
therefore stood the legal test, had ex-
ploded in petroleum lamp. We now
quote and invite the attention of our
readers to these observations. DR..
Bunch, referring to tire oil which stood
the test and which had yet exploded in
a petroleum lamp, says: An investi-
CATION was Immediately made by the
Board of Police and Fire, and it was
found that the lamp was only half
full, and the greater portion of its con-
tents was composed of water, which
had been added for the purpose of econ
omy. am not prepared to say posi-
lively how the explosion occurred; but
it is demonstrated that Aamps should
be filled daily, and that the oil shsuld
not be burned low. I3naas been said
that an infiammsT gas gathers over
its surface, and as the oil decreases, the
gas increases, and that q slight jar will
often inflame the gas, and an explosion
is sure to follow.

When Mr.. Dodge, electric physician,

you think / would be unable to con-
vince you of the deleterious effect of
tea and coffee. al don't know,n said
Erin, "but I'd like to be there when

"if / convince you that they are rjuri-
Gus to your health, will you abstain
from their use?" "Sure and l will,
Sir.n SHOW often do you take coffee
and tea ?" asked the doctor. "Morn-
ing and night, SIR" "Well, do you
ever experience slight dizziness of the
brain on going TO bed :' ''Indeed l
do" "And a sharp pain through the
temples, in and about the eyes, in the
morning ?" 'Truth, | do Sir" Well,
said the doctor, with an air of assu-
rance and confidence in his manner,
THAT is the tea and cofIee.n ''Is it, in-

Discharge OF Living Fish from Vol
canoes.

IL is n curious fact that a feature of
volcanic discharge i'm South America
often consists in the election of I'M
memsc numbers of fish, usually of one
specie, thrown out sometimes in such
quantities as TO poison the air and
spread disease by the cNhalation. The
fish in question belongs TO the same
natural order rs the frcsh-watcr cat
fish, with which every one in the
United States is well acquainted. Ii
has been taken alive in some of the
lakes i'm the sides of the Andes, at an
elevation of eight or ten thousand feet
above the sea and it is supposed that
these lakes communicate with reser-
yoirs in the interior, from which the
fish are elected by the volcano. Spec
linens were obtained by Professor
Orton, Oh his late expedition TO Eeua-
dor. and have been identified as the
Cgclopium Hum6Oldtti of natura!ists.
1t is very remarkable, however, that
these fish, although sometimes thrown
out in half boiled state, are generally
uncooked, and some of them indeed
are alive when they reach the surface
of the earth.-Hdrper's Magazine.
