from the weekly wash. The effect OF
soapsuds on other plants is remarkable.

Cooling Churches in India.

TDr. Thoburn in Western Christian Advocated
A few weeks since met friend from
Calcutta at the house of a gentleman in
New York. The evening was hot and
sultry, the windows were thrown wide
open, the gas was turned down 80 as to
produce the least possible amount Of heat,
while every one in the room was propell-
ing fan with unremitting zeal and vigOr.
Ny Calcutta friend acted his part as we'll
as could have been expected, but at last
grew weary, and, turning to me, expressed
his feelings and thoughts substantially as
follows:
ooh, for one of our Indian punkhas
Every day it becomes more of wonder
to me that your American people fail so
completely to master the art of keeping
themselves cool. They have the most in
ventive genius in the world. Why, / saw
y machine for threading needles at the
Centennial And yet they have not
made single attempt to introduce any
kind of machinery for cooling rooms by
artificial means, and this nOtwithstand-
ing your climate is one of the most Op.
pressive in summertime to be found in
the whole world. l went to church last
Sunday evening, and found splendid
marble church with only fifty or sixty
people in it; and no wonder, for the heat
was intolerable. Why don't they try our

ings OF my friend to a very considerable
extent, and the more so because could

tiODal failure of my cOuntrymen. ] have

ing weather, having an enormous fan
swinging back and forth above his head,
which keeps him cool without imposing
on him even the labor of plying tiny
hand-fan. The most successful revival
meetings ever held in Calcutta took place
in June and July, and the Methodist
church in that city is crowded through
out the whole summer.
The punkha is simply big fan sus-
pended by ropes from the ceiling, and
swung back and forth by man pulling a
rope which passes over a small pully.
One man can swing four or five, each one
being twenty or thirty feet long, and in
this way four men or boys could fan a
large congregation. The cost could not
be great. The punkhas cost but little,
and the wages of the boys who pull them
would be more than made up by the in
creased collections which the larger con-
gregations would put in the baskets.
Surely, plan which succeeds so won
deffully in India is worth a trial in
America, especially in view of the fact
that our congregations seem absolutely
to be melting away before the summer
furnace-b blasts. Who will give the punk

"That's nv umbrella, and can prove

So it had, and after some parleyiDg it
was handed over. The new owner was
smiling very blandly as the crowd APP
plauded, when man turned in of the
avenue to escape a wetting. As soon as
he saw the umbrella he called OUT
"Well, well, where did you get this p
"It's mine-bought it at the store"
was the reply.
Not much, sir. 1t was stolen from
my Office month ago, and you'd better

1t was passed to him, and he started
for home. Only the angels know whether
or not the real owner stopped him some
where up Woodward avenue.

Useful Information.

A FARMER states that he planted five
rows of corn with seed taken from three
inches below the top of the ear, rejecting
the imperfect grains at the extreme
point; then five rows taken from the
middle and base Of the ear, rejecting the
imperfect grains at the butt. The result
was that the five rows planted from the
middle and butt of the ear ripened about
two weeks and half before the other
rows, the corn of the former being better
cared and filed to the end of the cob.
