Hdnorer Sunday SchOoi.-Mr. Hsrsey's San
day School, contains the following Interesting
item about The Hanover Church Sunday
SCHOOL,
The Sunday school was organized In October
1914, but who participated in that early orgaDi-
cation we have been unable to ascertain. The
50th anniversary OF The school was held In Octo-
Der 1854, while Rev. MI. Altman was pastor OF
the Church. lie at that time took considera.
BILE trouble in gathering all the available in
formation possible in regard TO the school, bu,
unfortunately his address was never published
The school has been carried on with grea.
vigor, and has always been IN a prosperous con-
diliOn
Hanover Church, the oldest Presbyterian
Church in the city, has become a relic of the
past aud Is much yenerated by our Presby
terrain friends, OH account OF the many and dear
associations of bygone days, What Asbury is
to the Methodists, Hanover is totthe Presby'
| terians. Many of the leading men OF our city
| in the past were members of Hanover Church.
and many OF the leading and influential busi-
ne - men Of our city are members of thai
| Church at the present day. This fact would
have no special significance were 1t not that
/ these prominent leading citizens were active
| workers IN the Sunday Sch6 oil, and gave 1t g
vitality and power for good, which Is incalcula
bic. The long terms for which the Superinten
dents and other officers are retained IN position
| shows that our Hanover people are not muci
given to sudden changes, and when they find I
good brother qualified for position, they keel
him in that special department of labor. II
this connection we think we will be fully JUST
fed in saying that Hanover Sunday-School ha
had smaller number Of Superintendent, &C
cording TO Us age, than any other Sunday
School in the city, and we may further say ths
| none have been more effective, and more beloy
ed by the school. Mr.. E. T. Taylor WAS SUI
! erintendent several years previous to 1856
He was preceded in Office by Mr.. McKear
whose predecessor was VIM. A. Mendenhal
g Each Of these persons held the office for quite
: number OF years. Samuel Floyd, Esq, the pr
!, sent efficient Superintendent,ha held the Off
!. nearly 20 years. The late John b. Porter WI
Librarian for rs years.
IS The Hon. Willard Hall, revered by all wi

The MISSES SMITH Cows The Misses
Smith, Of Glastonbury, Conn, are ladies' of
II certain age, educated, strong minded,
owners and managers OF large dairy. Re-
Gently they took up the idea that they were
not permitted by the law to vote, they ought
not to be compelled to pay taxes-and ac-
eordingly, when the CT, TOR called they
peremptorily refused. AlteI some delay, the
collector seized and sold two of their cows;
whereupon tho elder sister Abby, wrote an
account Of the grievance to which they had
been subjected, and had it published in the
newspapers. This attracted public attention,
and was the cause of some sympathy and
much discussion. On the 23d, which is the
latest intelligence We have on the subject,
Abby wrote as follows to the Springfield
Republican; Last night brought us a
check of 800, and among the rest an anony.
nous card postmarked Newport, R. l., in a
mans hand, which will copy to show you
the spirit Of all these communications
Take good care of the cows, Abby. Fight
on; we will break down the obstacles aud
prepare the way for those that come after us
through God. Amen Among the numer
GUS letters we have received Is one from
Amos Lawrence, telling US to fight it ou
and we shall not lack support and another

SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE IN
GERMANY.

Scattered about Germany are 70 expert
ment stations fitted up with chemical labora.
tories in connection with stables, gardens
aud green houses, at which questions OF ag-
riculture and stock-raising are studied aud
the results demonstrated for the public bene-
fit. These stations are chiefly occupied with
experiments on animal and vegetable nutri-
tiOn, and the analysis Of fertllzers. Some
however, ara devoted to other special inves-
tigations. Que in Wiesbsden, for instance,
is devoted TO researches in wine culture.
Another has. been lately established in the
celebrated district Of Lodi in northern Italy,
tor investigation ia cheese making and kim
dred subjects Au important function OF
these stations has been the testing Of the
value Of commercial fertilizers by chemical
analysis. The usefulness Of this central sys-
tenn in preventing frauds 10 these articles
has suggested the application Of a similar Que
10 the examination OF seeds. Investigations
initiated by Noble, director Of the station at
ThRransdt in Ssxony, have led to the dis
covery Of enormous frauds practiced in En-
gland and Germany by the AdulteratiOn OI
clover, turnip and other seeds. To protect
the farmer Against these impOsitiOns severa
stations for the examination of seeds have
been established in different parts Of Ger
| many.

WHAT SHALL THE CHILDREN DO
NEXT =?

A favorite amusement with my children
is, TO cry, "GueSs what see in this room,"
beginning with giving the initial letter OF
something in the room each child is allow
ed to guess in rotation till one is successful,
when that child has the privilege of giving
cut the next thing u be guessed.
This game will commend itself to moth
els who are very busy, as it does not in the
least interfere with their work, even if they
participate, Us l often do, in tile game.
My children have been Interested in It for
hours together; often puZzling their elders
and contributing greatly to the amusement
Of us all
remember an instance in which our lit
tie seven years old daughter gave cut G. S.
Her comrades all tried it many times in
despair and came to mammal even she
could ind nothing IA the room answering 10
the initials; grandma and great grandma
tried in VAIN.
Our little Pnzzler was in ecstacies and all
the others much chagrined, and obliged to
confess themselves unable to solve the ques-
tiOn.
Grease spot it proved to be-; our little girl
ntu ulScONeIeu u Slnall one Ou llc carpet.
When thoy tire of this, say, My ship is
coming in loaded with" naming some ar
ticle begnning with A,
They 20 on, each naming IN turn some
thing beginning with that letter, till they can
think Of no more; then they take b. and 50
on through the alphabet.
Mammals dignity will not be at all COM
promised by taking part in these simple
aniusements, and the little ones will enjoy
them much better than if playing by them
selves.
They have also several sets of the alpha
bet, cut singy. One child selects the letters
nUcessary TO spell any word which sho
chooses, without naming It, and after mix
ing them together, requires another 10 place
them in proper order to spell the word
These games are, vi course, adapted only
" those who know something OF spelling,
but will tend 10 improve them in that art,
and they possess the desirable qualifications
of amusing without noise VI trouble and
make no litter.-Litie Corporal.
