A CONGREGATIONAL church in a rural
Ohio neighborhood gets along very well
without pastor. A young man, pos
sessed of fine Evolutionary skill, reads a
report of some eminent clergyman's SER
mons every Sunday, and the rest of the
pastoral work is done by deacons. The
same plan has been adopted in several
other western places, but not with SO
much success, for the Ohio reader has
the ability to deliver the borrowed SER
mons with all the fervor of an original
effort.

ETY. have been received here, and have been
sold for shipment at prices ranging from 80
to 40 cents. The later sorts are being sold
at % to SO cents. The first arrivals of new
hops in market usually causes de-
cline in the price of yearlings and
olds, but this season has proved an
exception to the rule, and instead
of a decline, they are held firm at present
quotations. The shipments to London this
week were heavy, amounting to 1896 bales.
Receipts for the week, were 1905 bales !;

HE Petit Journal of Paris gives an
interesting account of the progress of
French savings. The deposits for the
seventeen years before the war showed q
very marked increase in the material
prosperity of the country, their annual
progression being about 10000. 900
francs. After the war The deposits fell
suddenly from 72O,OOO,OOO francs to
515,OOO,OO0 francs in 1872; then thew
began to rise gradually to 5S5, 900, 900
francs in 1878, and to $4,000, 600 in
1874. At this date successful efforts
were made to propagate the system of
savings banks, and the deposits rose to
66O,OOO,OOO francs in 1875, to 769, OOO, 900
francs in 1876, to sos, 100000 francs in
1877, and to 100000, 900 francs in 1878.
thus, IN the space of four years, the
deposits have augmented 437 600. 900
francs. No deposit is allowed to exceed
more than 1000 francs; when this sum
Is exceeded, the savings bank pur-
chases rente, which it delivers to the
depositor. The reason for this is that
the government pays a higher interest
than the ordinary rate on the money in
the savings banks.

1T is humiliating confession to make
but geography is pitiless and our
national vain-glory must bow to degrees
that for four hours in twenty-four the
entire territory of the United States is
deprived of sunshine. The Scientific
American says that as the sun goes down
on our farthest Aleutian island its morn
ing rays are just lighting up the hill
tops OF the western coast of Ireland, and
the whole breadth of the Atlantic lies
between us and daylight. In the depth
OF our humiliation, however, we may
possibly console ourselves with the
reflection that the sun really shines on
the United States when it is up. We
have to submit to four hours of sunless
ness day; England is lucky to get four
hours of sunshine.

The national board of health favors
an international sanitary convention.
1t is now in correspondence with other
nations on the subject. The interests of
all countries demand this convention.
and particularly since the formation of
the national board of health. It's rules
and regulations require United States
consuls to furnish bills of health to all
vessels bound for ports in the United
States regardless of the flag under which
the vessels sail, and this rule is breach
OF international courtesy. The question
is now embarrassing the United States
consuls at several ports, and the sooner
an arrangement is made with other coun-
tries the better for this one if the
national board of health is to sustain the
position it has taken in this matter.

The Nineteenth Annual Fair at Egg
Harbor City, N. j., viii be held in the new
building aud grounds on September l4th,
5th and 10th. There will be a fine display
of native Wines grapes, etc Egg Harbor
City is situated on the line Of the Camden
and Atlantic Railroad, forty-one miles from
Philadelphia and eighteen from Atlantic
City. 1t is settled almost exclusively by
Germans Grape culture and wine making
are among its most important industries. 1t
is the centre of the wine growing region of
New Jersey. The average annual produc-
ton of wine is about 1904 gallons. A visit
to this settlement is highly interesting. The
whole country is dotted with vineyards, and
every farmer has his wine vault. The Cam
den and Atlantic Railroad will run frequent
trains to and from the Fair, and will sell eX-
curson tickets, including tickets of admis
sion to the Fair, at a very low rate, thereby
enabling every one to run down for day or
two, at very small cost. The Fair grounds
are but fifty yards from the platform Of the
Camden and Atlantic Railroad. The Egg
Harbor City Fairs have been growing in
popularity every year, and draw to them
large numbers of visitors. The grape crop
this year is very abundant, and the German
wine growers are happy.
