DIR. Schaff says of the revised New
Testament soon to be published: 1.-The
revision will so nearly resemble the
present version that the mass of read
ers and hearers will scarcely perceive
the difference, while a careful compari-
son will show slight Improvements in
every chapter and almost every verse"
The Reformed Congregation of
Friedrichstadt, in Schleswig- -Holstein,

the members do not need to pay any,

ceived last year the sum Of S15 out of
the annual surplus.
There are in Minnesota seventy
five Baptist Churches which have no
houses of worship. Instead of being
troubled with mortgages and floating
debts, these churches simply hire halls
or rooms in which to meet, and conduct
their affairs on plan which combines
economy with independence.
-" Incidence is the worst enemy"
says Bishop Huntington, "that the
Church has to encounter. Men sleep
around her altar. Life has no signifi-
canoe, eternity no awfulness, enjoy
ment no obligations, bereavement no
solemnity, holiness no enrapturing
beauty, but they stretch on beds Of
ease, and sleep amid the most stirring
revelations of Providence"

Seminary by a New York merchant in

nearer it drew, when, on an instant,
the grove became illumined with q
lurid glare, and the sage Chang was to
be seen surrounded by a number of
demons. Addressing the white serpent.
who had paused on its path, he said;
"Vile woman, have long awaited a
chance to put an end to your nefarious
doings, and now is my opportunity
Waving his hand he cried: "Assume
your natural form" The serpent
gradually melted away, and in its place
stood the Princess. Shu stood SPELL
bound and could scarcely believe his
senses. The Princess essayed to speak,
but the old priest, in a voice of thunder,
commanded her to restore the serpents
to their human form. This she did,
and number of young men who had
been suitors for her hand appeared.
Now" said he, II, with the desire to
prevent any further wrong doing on
your part, order you to obey my cont
mands. Waving his hand and casting
some incense into a censer. the hill
began to rock and move, and q yawning
earth and let these hills cover you and
your sins"
DEATH OF THE LOVERS.
Turning to the young man Shu the
Princess embraced him. and besought
him to supplicate the priest to pardon
her, but his entreaties were in vain.
Kissing Shu and clinging to his neck,
poor Leen prepared herself for the IA
tai leap. Shu, utterly prostrated by
grief and the love he had for the dam
sci, resolved to share her fate. With
out moments hesitation he entwined
his arms around her, and, before any,
one could prevent him, jumped into the
abyss, which Immediately closed upon
the lovers. The priest was dismayed,
and tried all the means in his power to
invoke heaven to restore the lost ones,
but in vain. Descending to Hangchow
he told the story to the mother of Shu,
who mourned for her son. A liberal
sum was devoted to the erection of a
temple to the honor of deceased Shu
and the Lady Leen, and the priest
Chang built himself hut at the base
of the hill, where he daily offered
prayers to the names of the dead until
his demise. Since that time the hill
bears the name of the "White Serpent
HILL" and the most fearless of the in
habitants dread to wend their way
round the base of the hill after night
fall, asserting that the spirits of the
lovers nightly meet and renew their
vows upon its summit. Such are the
legends that the minds of the Chinese
are imbued with, and their number is
legion. This was the story told US by
the old man at the lake, and when it
was finished we sought our boat to be
ready for sightseeing next day.-San
francisco Chronicle.

of the Democratic party. In this view
of the case we freely admit that the Re-
publican party is on trial, and that the
election will be in the nature of a pop
ular vote of confidence or want of con-
fidence in that party, according as it
may result.
What good reason is there, then. why
the Republican party should not be con-
tinued in powerP We put to any fair
minded, intelligent citizen to say if
there is anything in its history. record,
achievements, acts or policy which
would justify vote of want of conf
dence in the party. On the contrary,
we aver that the country never made as
great progress in all respects during
any like period of its history as it has
under Republican rule, and that it
never was as prosperous at any pre-
vious time as it is to-day. We aver
that the American flag was never SO
honored in all parts of the world; the
Government credit never was so high;
the Government revenues never were
more faithfully collected or more hon
estly disbursed; the civil service
never was more efficient; the Govern
ment in all its branches never was more
efficiently and honestly administered;
tuc udIlOudl luGcTcStS VI tuc
never were more prosperous; agricul-
ture, manufactures, commerce, mining
and all the great productive industries
never were in better condition, the
country never had a better currency,
and the people themselves never were
more prosperous and happy. All these
results have been brought about by and
under Republican rule. They are due,
in as large measure as results of this
character can be due to governmental
action, to the beneficent policy and
wise administration of the Republican
party. They have been accomplished
in spite of the steady and persistant
opposition of the Democratic party.
They are part of the history of the
country and of the record of the Re-
publican party. They are not theories
nor suggestions, but hard facts, ac-
complished results. They are not bold
promises nor platform professions. but
historical achievements and living con-
summations. Pointing to these, the
Republican party need not fear to stand
trial before the people, nor can we
doubt for a moment chat their vote win
be a vote of confidence

A Long Will and a Short One.

Probably the most noted will in ex-
istence was that of Peter Thellusson,
who left E600, 900 to accumulate until
all his sons and grandsons were dead.
When this time arrived the entire prop
erty-which, it was reckoned, would
have grown to at least fl9, 900, 600
was to be transferred to the eldest
great-grandson. The will was pro-
nounced valid by Lord Loughborough
in 1899, but an act of Parliament was
passed in the following year rendering
null all such bequests in future. 1t was
thrown into chancery, and when the
grandson Of Thellusson's eldest son
claimed the bequest he only received
in 1859 about the original sum. The
shortest will in existence is said to have
been proved at Lewes in 1873, and it
consisted of eight words only: Mrs.

D@H severe and minute honesty in
all the departments of Government can
commend the party in power, the Re-
publican party has fairly earned the
confidence of the taxpayers of the
country. OF 1864, $40. 500 collected
from all sources in the last three years,
all but SIS, 900 have been paid into the
Treasury, and there is prospect that
even that NAV be recovered. Counting
this as permanent deficiency, how
ever, it makes loss to the Government
of but one-third of one per cent. on
each $1,000 handled-a remarkable
contrast with previous Democratic ad-
ministrations. PHILADELPHIA Times.

In raising poultry or stock, II should be
the aim OF every one to keep 10 healthy
and improve IL. You can do IL very easily
by adopting some systematic rules. These
may be summed up In brief as follows:
/. Construct your house good and warm
30 as to avoid damp floors and afford q
flood of sunlight. Sunshine is better than
medicine.
=. Provide busting and scratching
place where YOU can bury wheat and corn
and thus induce the fowls to take needful
exercise.
3. Provide yourself with some good
healthy chickens, none TO be over three oil
four years old, giving one cock to every
twelve hens.
4. Give plenty of fresh air at all times Of
the year, especially In summer.
:. GIVE plenty fresh water daily, and
never allow the fowls TO go thirsty.
.. Feed them systematically. two or
three times u day, and scatter the food 20
they can't eat too fast or without proper
exercise. Do not feed them more than
they will eat up clean. or they will get
tired that kind Of feed.
:. Give them a variety both Of dry and
cooked food; mixture of cooked meal
and vegetables Is an excellent thing for
their morning meal.
s. Give soft feed in the morning, and
the whole grain at night, except a little
wheat or cracked corn placed In the
scratching place during the day.
9. Above all things, keep the hen house
| clean and well ventilated.
10. Do mot crowd too many in one house
| If YOU do, lookout for disease.
IL. Use carbolic powder in busting bins
! occasionally 10 destroy lice.
IL. Wash your roosts and bottom OF
LAYING nests with whitewash once a week
in summer. and once a month in winter
II I of fha old and Vounp have aS larpa
a range as pOssible-the larger the better
13. Don't breed too many kinds OF fowls
at the same time, unless you are going into
the business
