"A German revivalist has come to

secretary of the Young Mems Christ
ain Association of the United States, and
is holding meetings in Boston. He is
called the German Moody on account
of slight resemblance to Moody, but

The Tungwen College, of Pekin,
China, has issued its first calendar,
which is an interesting and peculiar
document. The institution appears to
be in tlourishing condition, its faculty
numbering twenty professors andtutors,
twelve being Chinese. The total num-
Der of students is 102, being divided in
to four departments-the English,
French, Russian and German-and into
classes of mathematics, astronomy,
mathematical physics, international
law, chemistry and physiology, the en-
tire course of study requiring eight
years to complete. The students ara
in receipt of Government stipend.
Although German children at birth
possess excellent eyesight, the strain
caused by constant studying of the con-
fused and almost indistinguishable Ger
man alphabetical characters soon inn
pairs it, so that it has been found that
in the schools of Breslau there are two
per cent. of short-sighted pupils in the
primary classes, four per cent in the
second classes, nine per cent in the
third and fourth classes, and in the
most advanced classes of the higher
schools the startling proportion of sixty
four per cent. is reached. This can, it
is thought, be best remedied by the
general adoption of Roman characters,
and the Cologne Gazette strongly advo-
Gates the change.

In the death of Jacob Stauffer this
community loses valuable citizen and a
good man. He was singularly blameless
in his walk and conversation and most
likely had not an enemy on the face of
the earth. He has for many years, in
union with his eminent co-worker, DR..
S. s. Rathvon, devoted himself unset
fishly to the cause of science, and their
labors have been of vast practical use to
our local material interests. Widely recog-
nized for his great knowledge of natural
history and mechanics, his services were
sought from all quarters, and he was &C
knowledged as valued correspondent by
many of the leading societies of the coun-
try. By birth, by education and by the
steady contribution of his services to her
best interests, he was Lancaster coun-
tian, and by his life and character, his
learning and his uprightness, he won the
respect and admiration of the thousands
who knew him personally, and now
mourn his loss.

val of the steamship Switzerland, which
LETT Antwerp for Philadelphia twenty
three days ago. The Belgenland, which
left Antwerp six days after the Switzer-
land, arrived at New York yesterday. The
company's officers express no alarm at the
Switzerland being overdue, as she is a
slow but staunch vessel. They say her
arrival off the capes is hourly expected.
She has 316 steerage passengers.
The lockout in the piano trade, which
appeared to be partly broken on Saturday,

ployees accept the stringent agreement
heretofore published. 1t was decided by
all the manufacturers that unless the
agreement had been accepted, the lockout
should be enforced again this morning.

ances. Manager Mishler is also said to
have engaged them for seven weeks.
Many pleasant anecdotes of Miss Neil
son are told by those who know her
behind the scenes, and she is said to be
thoroughly pleasant and unaffected and
fond of jolly time. One morning
recently when she went to a rehearsal
at the theatre she found that she
had left $50, 900 under her pillow at
the hotel. She was not at all troubled or
nervous about it, but quietly asked the
property man to go and get it, which he
did, restoring it to her at rehearsal. The
tribute to her acting which perhaps she is
most proud of is the fact that when she
is son." the scene shifters, gas men,
mechanics and supers generally, instead of
skylarking or chatting behind the scenes,
as usual, crowd into the wings and crane
over each others shoulder, watching her
every motion with absorbed interest.
These men are the most case-hardened
critics to be found, and it is said that
Fechter was the only actor who shared
with Miss Nelson the honor of num-
berlng them among his audience.

Plant Club Last Night.

There were from 125 to $50 persons pres
ent at the regular meeting of the Plant
club last evening. Every seat was occu-
pied and a goodly number were compelled
to stand. The lesson assigned the club for
study was the calyx and corolla, the sta
men and pistil. A dozen questions COW
ering the leading points to be developed
had been placed upon the blackboard by
Mr.. Burrowes, who called upon
members present for explanations
and answers This occupied prof
table half hour, after which an in
teresting paper was read upon the Calyx
and COrolla, the points being illustrated
with well-executed drawings of the differ
ent forms in which these floral envelopes
present themselves. Questions that had
been referred to certain members of the
club at last meeting were then answered.
The final work of the evening was the
analysis by the tables of the round lobed
Hepatica, Hepatica trizo6a of the Ran
nuculus family. Each member who
desired it was supplied with specimen of
the flower and leaf, and the analysis was
conducted both from the blackboard and
the textbook. This club gives promise of
admirable results.
The subject for the next meeting will be
the Stamen, upon which a paper will be
presented by MIR. Jno. E. Snyder.

THE PRECEDENTs.


What the Pittsburgh Convention Of 1873
Report of the proceedings OF the convention
which nominated Dill.
Chairman McClelland ordered call Of
the roll when Delegates Ker and Hay de-
manded that the convention observe the
tinae-honorsd custom Of calling the roll By
districts and letting them report their dele
gates and not allow any made-up roll to be
forced upon the convention.
Wallace, Yerkes and Bill Singerly tried
to choke off this proposition and immense
confusion and uproar ensaed. McClelland
was compelled to let Hay be heard and
the latter made a fine speech in favor of a
practice that has the sanction of time
honored precedent and against what he
designated as usurpation.
Chairman McClelland insisted on the
call of his made-up roll. Cofroth, of
Somerset, strenuously protested, but Nc
Clelland persisted, and then the conven-
tion resolved itself into another scene OF
tumult and uproar. Respectable Dill
men entered their protest against the
chairman's decision, while Senator Wal.
lace sat silent, taking no part in the wal
of words excited by the unusual proceed.
ing. The motion to call the dis.
tricts was repeated, and finally McClelland
agreed to put it. Senator Allen wanted the
call of the roll as suggested by the chair
man, though he declared the rights of the
contestants must be respected. Yerkes
of Bucks, said no motion could he enter
tained until the roll was called Ellis, O
Schuylkill, insisted on the district cal
and begged the chairman to retrdce his tata
mistake.
McClelland put the motion to those sit
ting in the delegates seats and the conven
ton rose en- naasse and the roll was ordered
to be called by districts.

ARTIFICIAL HATCHING.

What Has Become of the Incubators3
The Germantown Telegraph asks what
has become of the incubators?" and then
intimates that for all practical purposes
these machines are worthless, and after
having been once tried are condemned, and
are only seen at poultry exhibitions. A
poultry fancier in this city, who has had a
good deal of experience in Matching. both
in the natural and artificial way, tells US
that he has no doubt, under certain cOndi-
tions, that artificial Matching causes less
trouble, less expense, and is more
certain in its results than natural
Matching. The conditions necessary are
good machine (Samuel's Eclipse Incu-
batOr" is recOmmended) q careful atten-
dant and warm quarters for the chicks if
they are Matched in cold weather. The
attendant in charge of the machine, which
automatically regulates the heat, will have
little to do except to turn the eggs once
day and sprinkle them lightly with water.
The advantages are that chicks can be
Matched all the year round and consequent
ly spring chickens can be had every month
of the year. There is no danger Of the
artificial hen breaking the eggs
or trampins the chicks to death
after they are Matched, as is so
often the case with the natural
mother. It is asserted that more eggs per
dozen can be Matched by artificial than by
natural means, and that any one who un-
derstands the chicken-breeder's art can
raise "by hand |" as large a per cent. of
the chicks Matched as the hen will raise
In evidence of this it is stated that some of
the chicks Matched in the incubator at our
late poultry show on the 1st of January
are as large and healthy as any other
chickens of equal age. The incubator then
used is now in possession of Colin Cam
eron, Brickerville, who has it stocked with
$50 eggs and who expects to have chicks
in few days. We will endeavor to as
certain what "luck" Mr.. Cameron will
have with his machine and report the re-
suit

in Mr.. Hers secondary school, North

policemen to be in the vicinity of the
school when it opens and closes and to
summarily arrest all disorderly pupils.
