UsIoy BIBLE MEETINGS.

Union bible meetings wera held last even
ing at the Congregational and Presbyterian
Churches, which were largely attended. In
| fact the pews were all occupied, and the
aisles in the churches filed with chairs
Both meetings were addressed by Rev. John
Thompson, District Superintendent of the
American Bible Society on this coast. and
also by the ministers of the city. The Dis.
trict Superintendent briefly outlined the his.
tory of the Society, which has been in exist
erce sixty-seven years, and during that time
has issued ~. OS3, SIC Bibles. Last year they
issued 1,709, 472. The receipts for the year
for general purposes were 1898. Gal 81. OF
this amount 1888 999 30 was received for
books and on purchase account $1S4, 179 20

$50, 294 AZ from rentals, and tie balance from
interest and other eources. Besides
which $4,000 has been added to the
trust fund, the interest of which alone
is applicable for general purposes.
The disbursements for manufacturing and for
all other general purposes were $500, FOG SO.
For the foreign work of the society, to be
expended during the coming year, the amount
Of Sl6i $50 So has been appropriated. La
trsnslations and revisions, the books OF
Judges and Ruth in Ponspe, and the Epistles

10 the course of his remarks Rev. Z. S.
Dunn said the Bible was the book OF books.
He said it had God foe is author, Truth for
its matter, and Salvation fer its end. Some,
he said, found fault with the Bible claiming
that 1t was not scientific enough. Tney may
not ind much of geology in il, but they will

TIE CONCERTED KITE.

Twas Q young and silly kite,
VINO took his frat gay tight
On the windy morn of Tommys holiday;
And his silver-spanglei side
Sweied and Quivered with his pride,
as the breezes caught and warted him away.
A tail both long and slim
He took aloir with him.
And hung in graceful curv ed against the sky,
I'll above the tailest trees
He was carried by the breeze.
While Tommy laughed to sec him sail 80 high.
"Oh, could I now get free.
might hy indeed" said he,
Higher rise than yonder great pufed-up bal
loon:
Could break this cruel string,
Like bird of teetest wing
1 would soar beyond the stars and shining
moon.''
With quick. impatient start,
10! he snaps the cord apart
For moment, floats triumphant yet more
high;
Bur the next with wild surprise,
81 am g;ddy. quite he cries.
And Keeling, plungcs headlong from the sky.
Twas a sadder, wiser kite
That Tommy saw alight,
With battered form. and tangled tail. 30 slim;
His spangled sides were rent,
His ribs TOO, crushed and bent,
~ n co0ceit quite taken out of him.

The old negro stopped, looked at the

No one replied. 'Well," said the

The men began to smile. The old

it and took out two twenty dollar gold
pieces while the gentlemen. instead Of
laughing. stared in astonishment.

A Prem0nitiOn.

One afternoon, q few years ago, I
was sitting in my chambers in the tent.
pie, working at some papers. My desk
is between the fireplace and one of the
windows, the window being two or
three yards on the left side of my chair,
and looking out into the temple. Sud-
denly became aware that was look
ing at the bottom window pane, which
was about on level with my eyes, and
there / saw the figure of the head and
face of my wife, in reclining position,
with the eyes closed and the face quite
white and bloodless, rs if she were
DEAD. 1 pulled myself together, AMI
got up and looked out of the window,
where saw nothing but the houses op-
rosite, and l came to the conclusion
that had been drowsy and had fallen
asleep, and after taking few turns
down again to my work and thought
no more of the matter. 1 went home
st my usual time that evening. and
while my wife and were at dinner she
told me that she had lunched with
a friend who lived in Gloucester Gar
dens. and that she had taken with her
q little child, one of her neices. who
was staying with us; but during
lunch, or Just after it, the child had
fall and slightly cut hefface so that the
blood came. After telling the story,
my wife added that she was so alarmed
when she saw the blood on the child's
face that she tainted. What had seen
in the window then occurre to my
mind, and asked her what time it was
when this happened. She said. AS far
as she remembered. it must have been
a few minutes after two o'clock. This
was the time, as nearly as l could cal
culate. not having looked at my watch,
when | saw the figure in the window
pane. have only to add that this is
the only occasion on which | have
known my wife to have had a fainting
fit. She was in bad health at the time,
and 1 did not mention to her what
had seen until u few days afterward,
when she had become stronger. l men-
toned the occurrence to several of my
friends at the time. -Nineteeth Ceatury.

Methods Of Applying Manure.

After careful study and experiment ]
have adopted the rule of using most OF
my manure at the surface. The only
exception to this rule which l make is
when l wish to manure very heavily to
permanently enrich garden plot, and
then plough under a liberal coat OF
manure and top dress in addition.
When manure is TO be used for wheat,
so convinced am of the superiority Of
top dressing that would not allow a
man to draw out the manure before
ploughing the land if he would do it for
nothing. We want the manure ap-
piled to the wheat crop so as to act as
quickly as possible, for the wheat has a
short time to grow in the fall, and it is
important that it get well rooted and
make growth enough to protect the
roots before winter sets in, and the finer
the manure is. and the nearer the sur
face, the quicker its effects will be on
the young crop. lam positive that by
timing our manure and using it at the
surface we can double its value for the
wheat crop.
Another and still more important
reason for using manure as tOpdress-
ing is that with the manure so applied
we have arich seed-bed for clover,
which makes a stand and vigorous
growth much more certain than if the
manure was ploughed under. believe
clover to be the cheapest and best fer
tilizer within reach of the farmer, and
that the clover will furnish better
condition of soil for succeeding crop
of corn or wheat than the manure does.
Using manure rs tOpdressing or
wheat when clover is sOwn-as / be-
lieve it always should be-enables the
manure to do double duty. First. il
largely increases the wheat crop, and
second, it grows fertilizing crop
which requires no heavy hauling or
spreading, but is just where the farmer
wants it without extra labor. The only
objection l have ever heard urged
against the practice is the extra labor
of lining the manure. In reply to this
1 would say, first, that the plant can
not use the manure till it is thoroughly
decomposed; second, we save enough
labor in drawing to the field in the re-
duced bulk and increased ease of hand
ling to largely compensate for this la
Dor; and lastly, this fine manure viii
cover a much larger area than that
which is coarse and lumpy. Waldo r.
