Calling Sinners to Repentance.

New Ork letter to Chicago Times
no less than 5000 pastors and lay
delegates from all parts of the country
attended the Moody and Shankey con.
vention at the Hippodrome to-day, and
Moody underwent crOss.examination as
to his method of conducting revivals
from scores of listeners. The scenes
were of the most interesting character
unlike any previous meetings of the
revivalists. After a brief address
Moody submitted to the questioning,
and in his answers displayed extraor.
binary acuteness and readiness. Many
OF his remarks were curious and witty,
and kept the delegates in almost con-
tlnued laughter. Among other things,
he said: II remember in Chicago the last
winter, was there. We had preach
ing every afternoon. We went out
with invitations into saloons, billiard
halls, etc., and we got 4 large audience
there every afternoon, and we had a
new minister every day. We wanted
to bring all denominations to keep har.
mony, and believe there was one sol.
itary conversion after preaching thirty
i days. If we had only stuck to one min
lister, believe we would have done a
great work then and there.'' When
asked what should be done if scandal
distracted a church, he answered he
would instantly turn out the offending
persons.
Q.-Suppose there are excitements
i'll church that seem to draw the atten-
tion of the church away from higher
things,-politics for instance! A.-The
political question might interest the
world, and you could go right on with
out being interrupted; but the thing
dread more than do politics is these
miserable church fairs. Laughter. !
That is the thing that bOthers me most.
More meetings have been baoken up
and interest dissipated by these
b;.zaars and church festivals than by
your political meetings.
Q.-Would you encourage women
preaching i'll the pulpit! Al should
say it is complicated point. and we
will leave it. don't care about my
wife going around and preaching.
When asked about the causes of
drowsiness in audiences. he said bad
ventilation. not preaching. was the
chief trouble.
Off you tell man to be short in
his prayers and he don't obey. what
then! Al would have Il bell.
Q.-Would you stop Il mans prayer
by Il bell! Aft Il mans prayer don t
seem to go higher than his head, l
should not hesitate to ring him down.

COOKING FOR HEALTH.

There is no more important branch
of ''preventive medicine than cook
ing. Bad cooking may cause a dwind-
ling of the race, ruination of the tenn
per, and deterioration of the morals.
Good cooking, on the other hand, is
accompanied by national prosperity
and domestic bliss. So say the promot-
ers of the national training school of
cookery, who are undoubtedly right in
the main, and are deserving of all im-
aginable success. Now cooking is both
an art and a science. For it's progress
as an art we are not generally concern.

CANT dishes are generally Whited
sepulchers, and the fore-rumners of
blue pills and other correctives. The
bulk of people live in big cities, and if
we were asked to name the most pre-.
dominating characteristic of our urban
population, we should say ''dyspep.
sia.''. Those who spend their days in
dark Offices, chambers, or consulting
rooms, and keeping their noses ever.
lastingly upon their respective grind
stones, seldom know that digestion
should wait on appetite. Hitherto

Cellars.-The season has arrived
when disease engendered by foul air in
cellars which have been closed through
the winter, with their stores of vege-
tables more or less decayed. As in
most houses the only cellar ventila-
tion during the cold weather is through
the floors of the rooms occupied by the
family above, it follows that as decom-
position progresses, a noxious atmos.
phere must prevade the house, and
crop of typhus fevers or like diseases,
indicative of blood poisoning must en-
sue. 1t is not too early to begin to act
upon these suggestions in order to save
doctors bills. as prevention is better
than cure.

Another Kansas Horror.

Wichita (Kan.> Eagle.
On Monday morning word was
brought into town of Il most heart
rending disaster which occurred about
II miles east of Wichita, on Sunday
night, wherein the home of VIM. Nc
Garry was destroyed by fire, and two
of his children burned up. We are able
to gather but few of the sickening de-
tails. The night was the widest of
any during the past winter, as our
home readers we'll know. The piercing
winds and binding drifts of snow swept
down from the north as in fierce anger,
shrieking across the broad prairies,
shaking onr houses to the very founda-
ton. 1t appears that Mr.. McGarry's
family consisted of wife and six
children, and that at the usual bed
time four of the children went up stairs
to bed, taking with them some matches
to light lamp. Nothing further is
certainly known by the parents until
one son fell through the floor, and
girl, a lame child, ran down the stair
way. The parents and the two children
down stairs and the two that escaped
from above could hardly get out of the
house before it was one sheet of flame.
1t seems that about the middle of the
night two children were awakened by
fire and smoke. The boy who fell
through, finding the house on fire, en-
deavored to pull young child out of
bed when he fell. 1t is further sup
posed that after lighting the lamp a
burning match must have fallen among
some clothes, which were set afire but
did not break into flame for three
hours afterward. We could not learn
the sex, name, or age of the children
burned. Hardly had the terror-stricken
family made the escape when the home
that had but few short hours before
sheltered from the pitiless storm the
father and mother, and protected from
the midnight blasts all that to them
was most dear, was not only a black
ened, smoldering heap, but with it's ex-
piring embers it held the crisped re-
mains of two little forms whose spirits
had winged their flight. for that cline
where pitiless storms and death.dark
desOlatiOn never come.
