present about eight families, numbering
some twenty-five persons, are banded
together In the Advent faith. About a
year ago these people seeded from the
Methodist church and began holding
Sunday services in s building used in
the season as a summer hotel, called the
Red Brook house, kept By Gardener
Hathaway, reputed sympathizer with
them. They also held frequent meetings
on week days In each others houses.
Occasionally some of them would attend
the Methodist church, and their actions
IN that place of worship were frequently
most scandalous. The clergyman at that
time was Rev. Daniel NJ. Rogers, who
has just been transferred to Coohesett,
his place being filed by Rsv. Edward
Williams, late of Mansfield. The ADJ
ventists would disturb the meeting by
attempting to argue with the pastor and
address the congregation, and one of
them once, it is alleged, called the pastor
liar while officiating in the pulpit.

seth Green's Advice to Anglers,

Ia letter to the Rochester Express,
Seth Green, who has wide fame as a Nv
fisher az we'll as 3 fshcul surist, gives the
following hints to anglers, which are
timely, as the trout season will soon
open:
g am asked a great many times what
is lhe secret OF fy-csstiDg, or how it is
that / take the prize when I throw i?
There are three principles: First, quick
out o. water; second, give the line time
to straighten behind you; third, throw.
l will explain these principles more def
initeIy.
Raise your rod to an angle of about
forty five degrees back of you then make
quick stroke forward make the stroke
without carrying your rod forward.
When you take tn line from the water
it should be done with Jerk; then give
your line time to straighten behind ;
then give 1t the same stroke forward that
you did to get it out of the water.
Why so many fail in fly casting is,
they throw the rcd backward too near
the ground behind them, and when they
make the forward stroke when the line
gets Strengthened out, it is some distance
above the water and links back, and
when 1t falls upon the water it lies
crooked and Is some distance short of
what it would have been if it had struck
the water as soon as it Wa Strengthened
out.
off fish should strike at your fies at
this time, you are pretty sure to miss
him. By never throwing your rod back
more than on an-aDgle Of forty>fi de-
grees, and making the stroke forward,
your line goes straight out and the flies
60 to the point you desire.
Great care should be taken when you
have thrown the line behind you that
the line is given time to straighten be-
fore making the stroke forward. l have
thrown seventy feet of line against q
strong wird, first by giving my rod a
quick, strong back stroke, carrying my
ROD not further back than an angle of
iorty~tive degrees, and giving the line
time TO strsighten behind me, and
making the same stroke forward that I
did to get it back of me.
nearly forgot to mention that it is
more important to have your line fit
your rod than it is to have your coat fit
your back, unless you are a fop, and if
you are, my advice is to not 90 q fishing.
e" You may think it strange that l
should tell you three or four times over
IN the came article, that in order to do
good Hy-cAsting you must not throw
your rod back only just SO far, and then
wait tor your line to straighten behind
You, and when your rod is up to make
quick stroke forward, without carrying
your rod forward even g little, before
you deliver your line"

The Inventor of Champagne.
London Academy.


The wine Of champagne was originally
red, but at the close of the sixteenth
century began to assume ayelloWish hue,
aud did not much differ from that pros
duced in the adjacent province of Bur
gundy. In the memorable year 1888 a
certain monk named Perignon was made
"celerer" of the Benedictine abbey of
Hautviliers, a little hamlet on the banks
o. the Marine; about FIVE miles distant
from Epernay. no man was better fit
ted for the post he held, and discovery
after discovery rewarded his jealous toll
He was the first to marry" the produce
Of one vineyard with that of another; to
find out that white wine could be made
from the blacklist grapes, which would
keep good instead of degeneTatiDg like
that obtained from white ones; and to
substitute cork as 3 stopper for = bottle
instead Of fax dipped in oil, which had
hitherto been used. Nor was this all
for just at the close of the seventeenth
century he achieved his final triumph of
making an effervescent wine. Why it
sparkled he did not know for the con-
nectiOn between sugar and carbOnic acid
was as yet undreamt of, but the secret
soon spread over the country, until in
1878 the official return of the manufac-
turers' stocks in the champagne district
as given by the chamber of commerce. at

How the taste of this country has
changed since ten years ago Almost
everywhere they ask for dry wine, but
at the same time require it so vinous

other than the wine of Sillery which
can satisfy them" This is maintained
to the present day, for the high~ciass

champagne; the Russian q wine sweet

is of course added in all sparkling

are much less pure, for as much 2s one
fifth of syrup is sometimes added to
fUur-ffths of wine; the MOselles, too,
are often scented with elder flowers for
the English market, and, even in them
selves, the sparkling wines OF Germany
possess greater body than the heaviest

drunk with equal freedom. Great

annually, against 100000 drunk at

The Way They Rob in Russia.

Russian baggage cars do uoB carry

thing has to be taken out or put in. At

very ingenious stealing which went on

Kursk, Charkov and AzOv railroad, m
til last December. when it was detected.
There were several accomplices, who
used q greet trunk or chest One OF
them was put In this and shipped in the
baggage car. AS sOon as the car was
sealed he crept out, broke open tbs best
looking trunks of the other passengers,
selected the most valuable articles and

was only room enough left for himself,
when he shut himself in. At the next

The Springfield Republican call atten-
ton to trait of farmers In which, it
thinks. they differ, as regards each other,
from the members of any other guild.
" Each man is eager TO show his neigh
Dor any new di5covery or acquisition
which he has possessed himself or that is
likely to help on the business Of farming.
Ii he thinks he has a good thing he
wants others to know about it, whether
1t be the result of some successful ex-
psIlment In raising crop, an improved
breed OF cattle, or variety of vegetable or
g package OF superior seed which has
come from q distance. Apparently he
does not for a moment entertain the idea
That IT would be to his profit to keep
such knowledge or specimens to himself.
And II another farmer comes to see him,
he Is pleased to show all his possessions,
and there are no corners OF the place by
which the visitor is hurried because
some experiment is going on there which
the owner does not care to have seen, as
is often the case when a visitor makes
the grand rounds of factory. Contrast
this habit OF the farmers with the way
that neighboriDg merchants and manu-.
tacturers do their business. Why, when

mills in HOlyoke with their Office in
this city by telephone, objection was at
once raised that the paper makers might
possibly learn each others secrets aa q

Canada ThIstsss.

The Illinois Agricultural Report fur
nishes statements from three counties,
, giving an account of the gradual intro,
ouctloD OF the Canada thistle into that
state, and the mode by which small
patches were destroyed One county
commission found FIVE patches, and sub
iected them TO the following treatment:
After cutting the thistles down, twenty
two wagon loads of spent lime from the
gas house were scattered over the ground
where they had grown, which appears to
have destroyed them. in another county
the remedy has been the application of
salt, which in some cases proved success
tui, and in Others not entirely SO. We
mention these remedies TO point out a
cheap and more efficient one, we'll known
to enterprisin" farmers in the east. 1t
Is much easier to pillow an acre of land
thoroughly eight inches deep, four times,
than to cover the whole surface with gas
lime thick enough to kill the plants and
to render the plants afteTward fit for
cultlvstion-or to apply salt, either
slngiy or TO each plant, or thick enough
to cover and kill the heritage. We have
never found any difficulty in utterly
destroying Canada thistles in dense
patches OF many acres by turning them
completely under in June, and three
times atterward in three successive
months - provided the work was so
thoroughly done that none of the plants
came above the surface. This remedy
succeeds best on heavy soils; on such as are
light or gravelly more frequent plowing
may be necessary to fulfill the above
mentioned requisition. It will be seen
that this thorough blowing is not lost,
and puts the ground in excellent condi-
ton for winter wheat or rye, or other
succeeding crops. And half way work,
or allowing the plants to see the light
will fail, and bunglers win not destroy
these intruders in a hundred years.

we claim the savins Of fence-which

The Eureka Sentinel says: 1.-The
Relief Committee since it's forma-
ton has performed a vast amount of
good work Where there are SO many,
however, whose necessities are of such
a character as to demand immediate re-
lief it is impossible for them to investi-
gate individual cases, and as conse-
quence they have been grossly imposed
upon in many instances. One man,
who was assisted to the extent of SIS
in cash, deposited it in faro bank,
and expressed no anxiety concerning
the interest. A woman, who was given
like amount, celebrated her good
fortune by getting uproariously drunk
and raising the devil generally. An.
other person, who was given ticket
for large amount of goods, expressed
himself as being just that amount ahead
of the damned sons-of-tinkers. It is not
in the power of the committee to guard
against deception of such candidates
for the penitentiary, unless another
committee should be appointed, whose
duty would be to examine and report
upon each case, which would neces-
sarily involve vast amount of labor
Should some of these miscreants be de-
tected and marched out OF town to the
tune OF the ''Rogue's March" it would
have a wholesome effect.

have to content ourselves with the
theory that the Winnemucca bivalves
were left behind by the retreating
waters of an ancient inland lake.
In an economical point of view, the
rotten shell beds at Winnemucca may
be turned to profitable use by farmers
and horticulturalists in that vicinity.
The debris of ancient molusks in all
countries is esteemed most excellent
fertilizer. Indeed, the mari beds
formed by the decayed remains of such
aquatic animals is but little inferior in
fertilizing qualities to guano beds, and
as the Winnemucca shell deposits are
reported to be quite extensive, shall
expect the denizens of Humboldt valley
to turn this new bonanza of fossil ma
nure to profitable horticultural pur-
