Durham Parish and its Rector.

The following communication, taken
from one of the religious papers of Balti-
more city, was sent to US by a lady with a
request to publish it, which we do most
cheerfully:
z A recent visit was made by the Dean of the
Washington Convocation, to Durham parish
in Charles county, one of the Oldest parishes
in the Diocese. The Rev Robert Prout, the
rector, has been serving as its faithful pastor
for ifty-three years, still beloved aud trusted
by his flock, who look up to him as their shep-
herd and spiritual guide. Amid the quiet
forest trees the plain brick church stands silent
ly and alone and has stood there all these years
Drawing the storms of time, monument to the
name of the Redeemer of souls. No one can
pass over the public road without seeing its
SCARED, and moss grown walls, and without a
thought at least of Him who dwells there by
His Holy Spirit, and thought of the many
who have passed that way on their journey
heavenward. 1t is sweet to sing praises in such
a place hallowed by so many sacred memories.
A two days mission was held there by Dean
Levin assisted by the Rev. Chas. D. Andrews
of Christ Church. Washington. A very plea
SAINT coincidence in this connection might be
mentioned. The aged rector of Durham parish
was batized in old Christ Church, Washington,
of which Mr.. Andrews is rector which served
to make the occasion of special interest. There
is much life in the old parish which was abun-
dainty manifested by the young and vigorous
communicates who rendered the service with
more than ordinary spirit. The aged Rector
is trying to secure an assistant who might
build up a most hourishing congregation. Is
there not some earnest young and single clergy
man who would like work Of this kind? The
field is a most inviting one to some Jealous
worker. God is blessing the efforts of the hard
working and self-denying dean, and the Church
in the lower counties is feeling the good effects
of his untiring labors. OBSERVER.

st. Nicholas for November.

81. Nicholas begins its third volume with
telling number-fresh, bright, varied, healthy.
1t contains some twenty-five interesting con-
tributions; it gives us articles from more than
a dozen of the best writers in the country. In
the excellence and variety of its contents, as a
single number it could hardly be surpassed
1t crowds a strong story by one fine writer
with an instructive sketch or dainty poem
by another. From Mr.. Brooks's serial, 1.-THE
Boy Emigrants' is just begun and
promises an amazing store Of adventure-to
the rhyme of ''Little Dutchman Gretchen"
with its quaint little picture, it would be hard
to find single dull or commonplace article
There are poems by Mrs. Dodge, Lucy Lar
com and Celia Thaxter; stories by J. T. Trow-
bridge, Harriet Prescott Spoford, Susan Cool
idge, Abby s. Alger; and sketches by Rebecca
Harding Davis and Donald G. Mitchell. Then,
too, the talk about "Alligators," the bit of
Botany in 'How Plants Grow from Seeds"
the funny poems of ''Teu Little Country
Boys" and "The Reformer,' with their illus
trations, and lastly, the paper on the collection
of Postage Stamps-all these will surely inter-

Eclectic Magazine.

The Eclectic for November contains as a
frontispiece a fine portrait of Holman Hunt, the
famous English painter and this is accompani-
ed in the letter-press with brief sketch Of his
life and art theories.
The number leads off with notable aud high
ly interesting article on Napoleon Bonaparte, u
biased on the recently published Memoirs of the
Count de Segur. The Count was in close per-
sonal association with Napoleon during almost
the entire period from 1900 to his fall, and he
reveals much that is both valuable and inter-
esting concerning his inner life and personal
characteristics. Other attractive articles are !:

A HEN CRocoD1LE.-A female crocodile, re-
Gently shot in Florida, measured ten feet eight
inches in length, and presented many points of
contrast with the other. Her teeth were regu-
lar and white and sharp. The notified black
and yellow of her back and sides were distri-
buted evenly, the yellow rather predominating
than otherwise; while in the case of the male,
no part was yellow except the belly-the sides
shading off into the lusterless black which
covered almost all of the back and tall The
ovary of the female contained four hundred and
twenty eggs, varying in size from No. 8 shot
to a hens egg, and all perfectly spherical. 1t
may be added, in passing. that the female
crocodile lays twenty or thirty eggs at a time,
which she puts in layers in n hole in the mud
or sand on the shore, covering each layer with
a coat of earth and reeds and grass. She then
leaves the process of Matching to the fermenta-
ton of this mass, which reaches the right degree
of heat in about months time.

Best Food for Swine.

The food in winter should naturally be
of a stronger and more heating nature, to
enable the animals to lay on fat and re-
sist the cold successfully, not forgetting
the comforts of good pig house and yard
in connection, as suitable shelter enhances
the value of the food. Corn, in different
forms, whether fed whole, ground, cooked
or otherwise, is the cheapest and best food
if feed judiciously. In connection with
this some laxative food must be supplied,
as well as fresh water daily. to counteract
the heating nature of the corn, otherwise
heavy feelings of corn will cause skin
eruptions and make the animals very I'M
easy, the irritation being very great, and
scratching against the sides of the pen be-
ing great relief to them. If the swill or
slop barrels or hogsheads be where water
will not readily freeze in cold weather,
take mixture of bran and com meal,
boil lot of potatoes, turnips, beets, etc.,
with plenty of water, and as soon as they
are thoroughly done mash them we'll and
and put at once into the swill tub, the hot
water and all, and then put on a good
quantity of the mixed meal and bran. If
there be not enough hot water with the
boiled vegetables, get some more-enough
to meisten the mass-stir it up well and
cover up for several hours to steam and
become mellow. You now have slop
which will not only keep the pigs healthy,
but will make them improve rapidly. Of
course. before feeding, more water should
be added to make it of the proper consis-
tency.
To every barrel of slop of this kind we
add two double handfuls of salt when put
to steam; also a couple of quarts Of fine
bits of charcoal. This consider absolute
ly necessary to the continued health and
well being of the animals.

Extract from letter from Mrs. J. G. Aldrich,

Gentlemen,-Pleases send me one dozen bottles
of your Sicilian Hair Remover. Our bald and
gray do not want to be out. My mother is a
living recommendation of the results from the
use of the Remover. Being almost seventy
years old, and having worn wig over thirty
years, it seems miracle to those who have
known her so long as bald, and what little
hair she had being perfectly white; now her
wig thrown aside her hair grown out, and a
smooth, glossy brown, as in girlhood. Hop

PotatoesLa Valuable Business.

A trade is conducted in Europe to the
extent of some millions sterling year, in
converting potatoes into what is termed
farina, or potato flour. Mr.. Alex. S. Ma
crea, of As Duke stteet, Toronto, gave
some information on the subject in the
New York Sun and Chicago Times of the
21st and 22d of September. The result
has been considerable excitement amongst
agriculturists and others, to know some
thing of the actual process, and Mr.. Ma
crea puts it to our discretion to publish
the following details:
1. The potatoes are peeled in the raw
state.
2. They are then crushed or ground in
to an impalpable pulp, which is well wash
ed.
8. The water is then evaporated, leav-
ing a pure white residum, which is the
-four, or farina.
Three tons of patatoes, at cost of say
$40, should make one ton of farina, of a
value of 800, leaving 500 for wear, tear
and profit va. Sentinel.
