The LANGUAGE OF UMBRELLAS. is a
language of umbrellas as of flowers For in
stance, place your umbrella in rack, and it
will indicate that it is about to change owners
To open it quickly in the street means that
somebody's eye is going to be put out; to shut
it, that hat or two is going to be knocked of.
An umbrella carried over a woman, the man
getting nothing but the drippings of the rain,
signifies courtship; when the man has the
umbrella, and the woman the drippings, it
indicates marriage. To push your umbrella
into person. and then open it, means, II
dislike you" To swing your umbrella over
your head signifies, 81 am making nuisance
of myself" To trail your umbrella along
the foot-path means that the man behind
you is thirsting for your blood. To carry it
at right angles under your arm signifies that
an eye is to be lost by the man who follows
you. To open an umbrella quickly, it is said,
will brighten a mad bull. To put a cotton
umbrella by the side of nice silk one signi-
fes, Exchange is no robbery" To purchase
an umbrella means. II am not smart, but
honest" To lend an umbrella indicates, ~
am fool" To return an umbrella means
never mind what il means nobody ever
does that. To turn an umbrella in gust OF
wind presages profanity. To carry your UNI
brella in case signifies that it is a shabby
one. To carry an open umbrella just high
enough to tear out mems eyes and knock of
mems hats signifies, 81 am a woman" TC
press an umbrella on your friend, saying
''Oh, do, do take it would much rather
you would than not, signifies lying. To give
a friend half your umbrella means that bott
| of you will get wet. To carry it from home
| in the morning means, 1T will clear of. -

FoR TIE VERMONT PHGNIx.
MethOdiam I'm Vermont

MeSsrs. Editors: In the supplement ac-
companying your last issue is an article with
the above caption, written by a correspon-
dent of the Boston journal, giving an ac-
count of the origin, progress and statistical
and financial status of the Methodist Episoo-
pal church in Vermont. The historical state
ments contained in the article are in the main
correct; but, probably from a lack of reliable
data, in regard to one point at least the writer
evidently errs He says, at was not until
1896 that Methodist preacher came by Off
oial authority to the state, and, so far as any
authentic records can be found, no Methodist
preacher was heard in the state before that
time"
The following facts derived from the most
authentic sources, will correct the journal cor
respondents error Rev. Jesse Lee, from
Virginia, having been appointed at the con-
ference held in New York city in May, 1889,
to the Stamford circuit, arrived in Connect.
cut June II, 1789 He labored in Connecticut
several months, but during the year extended
his labors to other states. Leaving Connect
cut and journeying north, on Saturday, April
II, 1890, Mr. Lee entered Windham county
in the southeastern part of Vermont, where
he spent two days; and then, passing through
a portion of New Hampshire, entered Massa-
chusetts. We have no definite account of his
preaching during his hasty incursion and short
stay in Vermont but, as he spent the Sab
bath april 1S, 1900, it would be inferred
that man of his quenchless ardor and tire
less toll would not be idle ON that day if any
opportunity for preaching was presented. The
| supposition that he preached on that day is
confirmed by the following statement, derived
from the best authority: AFTER travelling
through and preaching in portions of Con-
necticut Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New
| Hampshire and Vermont, he left for the con-
ference at New York. The fact is thus es-
tablshed that Mr.. Lee preached in Vermont
| in 1870, and the conclusion is inevitable that
1.-THE first sermon in the Green Mountain state,
spoken from the standpoint of belief in the
doctrine of Arminius with the Wesleyan
method of application" was by Rev. Jesse
Lee, April IS, 1890, probably in the town Of
Guilford instead of by Rev. Mr. Lee oil
Rev. Mr.. Snethen, at the house of John Lang
don in Vershire in 1896" as stated by tbs
journal correspondent And this discourse
of Mr.. Lee, the apostle and founder of Meth
odism in New England was preached nearly
three months prior to his memorable sermon
of July 10th, 1880, preached TO 5000 peopl
while standing under the spreading branches
of the famous old historic elm on Boston
common.
1t was deemed proper that the error int
which the journal correspondent had inadver
tently fallen should be corrected and the cir
stances stated, if accuracy in the statemen
of historical facts is of vital importance. E.

quarts to the row.
The next row, nothing, yielded l6
