Missionary Notes,

No merchant prince could bring treas.
ures from all the wealth of India" no
costly silks or dazzling gems that could
begin to equal in value, in interest the
banners which Rev. Mr.. Craver has
brought home from his spiritual campaign |
in the NJ, f. mission field in India. These
banners, like the stained and battered flags
borne in procession by the divisions of the
Grand Army of the Republic on Decora
ton day, show tokens Of age and service.
They are historic trophies indeed, and
date, some of them from the origin, of our
Sunday school work in India, and repre-
sent the first effort made in the history
of mission work in India to gather The
Hi1alu and lIohanlncllaN children into The
Sunday Schools The banners have vari-
GUS suitable devices and have beenhig hly
scrvceable in their India work. They
will be first displayed in this country at
Chautauqua during the session OF the
Foreign Missionary Institute. DR.. Otis
Gibson reports concert recently held by
the Chinese and Japanese members of his
mission at San Francisco. Forty-three of
these pupils took part and reflected credit
on themselves and their teachers. The
japanese sang with great spirit bringing

The Village Library

My fathers house had not dozen books
no neighbor had "a library" The
Bible, school books, and the Sunday
School Library, (small and poor), were
all we had to read, except the weekly pa
per and contraband novels. My educa
ton is thousands of dollars poorer, and all
the young people of my day likewise sui :
fer, because the village had no library.
Every village or town can have libra
ry. If not large, yet good and growing
library. No town is too poor to appropri-
ate 800 year for library. 1t would
make the mental fortunes of hundreds of
the present children and of thousands
now unborn if the town would inaugurate
and build up library though with only
500 a year. Start it and it will grow.
The public library is to be an import.
ant factor in determining the intelligence
and moral character of the future. The
men of means will more aud more ap-
propriate portions of their fortunes 10
founding libraries. In very few other
ways can man 80 eflectually and largely
contribute to the culture and character OF
coming generations, A we'll ordered pu b.
lie library is nobly monumental.
There is probably some person in every
town sufficiently able to lay the foundation
of library. A few hundred dollars, sup.
plemented by town appropriation, would
make the enterprise success.
The world is growing rich. SO genera
comfort and competence were never
known. There is surplus wealth in every
community, and what shall be done with
ite We are just entering great and
grand era of giving Already some gre al
givors have appeared, and there are moro
to follow. Intelligent, God-iearing mel
of wealth are looking about for invest
mcnts that will honor God and bless the
the world. Colleges and asylums and al
the old and new charities are finding
friends, and may they find a thousand fol,
more. But here is an opportunity We
open ut almost every mans door. Tn
public libraries are yet very few and fal
apart. Il.

The democrats in Pennsylvania did
bright thing in nominating Pattison of
Philadelphia for governor. Ho is young
man, only 81, who was prominent in the
citizens movement there that overthrow
the ring rule by which some republican
politicians had governed the city. His
nomination secures a good governor in
case the democrats win, and it may have the
effect of uniting the republican party and
forcing it to deserve success, something
which it has not always done in Pennsyl-
vania since Don Cameron held the reins
The Pennsylvania boss is not resigning
very much, but there is a prospect that he
will reach Mr.. Conkling's vicinity by
another road.

The Pennsylvania republicans see that
they are beaten out and out if the two
tickets now in the field are kept there, and
conference is talked of for the 18th OF
this month. One thing is pretty certain
that Don Cameron 5 dictatorship must 20

state will meet as well as deserve defeat
Don Cameron may have the disposal Of
all the federal offices in the keystone state
but his control of the votes is gone for,
ever. He is boss not much above John
Kelly in intellect, and his brains are not

A religious newspaper may suler
word upon this subject since the Bible
declares that we should "ClSt up the

fore the FREEMAN also may allow a little

Large holes in "bridges less than eight

Last year the towns voted the smallest
tax allowed by statute. A little more
than one,half of this was collected and the
remainder instead of being collected and
put in the treasury, as the law provides,
was transferred to the list of 1899 In
some towns thousands of dollars were thus
brought forward with the understanding
that they are not to be collected. but be
abatcd by tue legislature, And this short
sighted policy will prevail until the towns
are again made liable. There is no
foundation 10 any objection to such law.
1t is liable TO abuses; so is every law. But
the ruth is that after the statute requiring
written notice, the towns have had more
than an even chance in all suits for dam
ages. The Vermont reports show that in
several serious cases the towns have
escaped by some merely technical defect

WHAT 4 PINT OF MANTRE DID. :.

A Wisconsin farmer sends this ex.7
perienre to the american AgricwL-
turist: "Last year, in hauling yard
manure across a field afterwards
planted to corn, some of It scattered
off in driblets, from a handful to q,
pint or so in pfaee. When planting:
the corn, I found portions of shess
droppings, and where noticed, drew
them into the hills, and with the hoe
mixed them little with the soil as;
the seed was dropped. In three
stances, where a largo handful or
about pint Of the manure was thus
put in, stick was driven down to-
mark the hills. When hoeing, We
noticed that in these hills the corn
plants had started of more vigorous
ly, were greener, and at the third
hoeing they were to IL inches higa--
er than the other hills adjoining
Onr curiosity being awakened We
followed up the observations, and
when gathering the crop, each'ot' tho
three stalks in all the three hills. ,haef

the surB Bohnding corn did not aver
