A Brief History of Methodism.-At the
Children's Day services at Belair NJ. E. church.
Rev. j. w. Smith, the pastor of the church, gave
he following interesting facts:
''The brothers John and Charles Wesley came
to America missionaries in 1875, after they had
been termed "Methodists" at Oxford, England, as
members of the "Holy Club" as it was called.
Their conversion, however, did not occur until
four years later, through the Moravians. Wesley
was not the founder of Methodism in America.
The honor belonged to an humble Irish local
preacher, Robert Strawbridge, who settled on
Sans Greek, in Frederick county, Nd, in 1850,
and began to preach, and soon formed society
and from that time began to itinerate through
that and adjacent colonies. In less than two
years ne built the clog Meeting House. now
know as "Stone Chapel near his residence in
Frederick county, which was without doubt the
first Methodist Church in America. 1t was in
the State of Maryland, in the bounds of the pres
ent Baltimore Conference, that Methodism had
its origin. In 1873 the first conference was held
with but 10 preachers and membership of !, 160.
The fifth Conference was held at Waters Chapel,
Deer Creek, May 20, 1777. The 18th at Lovely
Lane Chapel, Baltimore. This Conference closed
the of Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church
with SO preachers and IA ,9S6 members.
Gin 1874 at the Christmas Conference, the
Societies of America were declared Independent
ct Nc Keslez and erganized into sths M
elected Presbyter- Bishops. Mr.. Wesley was the
father, Robert Strawbridge the founder and Bishop
Asbury the organizer. Although the church of
Wesley in spirit, it is the church of Asbury in
organization. For though Asbury and Coke were
sent over to America after their ordination, the
Conference was unwilling to receive them as their
General Superintendent until the Conference had
duly elected them, and now the American Soce-
ties were declared Independent of Mr.. Wesley,
and if Mr.. Wesley did not formally leave the
Church of England, the American Church did.
In 1884 there were SO itinerant preachers and
membership of 14,9SS members. In 1884 about
$4,000 preachers'and 1,742,O members, besides
local preachers"

Sawdust.-A correspondent gives bis expert
enee with. sawdust, viz: 81 have number of
gooseberry bushes that never would bear; have
had them for twelve years. Two years ago L
hauled sawdust and mulched them about six
inches deep. I have received no pay yet from
them. They did not fruit until this year, and
never saw bushes as full of fruit as they are at
this writing. The sawdust was green when put
around them. Two years ago, when cleaned
out my ice house to fill with ice, threw out the
rotten sawdust at the bottom around some plum
trees and Seeding peach trees. The trees so
treated have a wonderful growth they are nearly
as large again as those not treated with sawdust.
have found out that sawdust put on our clay
land changes it wonderfully after it rots. But it
will not produce anything the first year; it dries
out too much. If had rotten sawdust to mulch
my young apple trees with, I think that 1 would
have growth that would surprise the oldest nur-
seryman in the business. 1 have mulched with
straw, but my trees have not made the same
growth as those that were mulched with sawdust.

Keeping Hams Through the summer.

Keeping Hams Through the Summer.-
1t is somewhat difficult to guard hams from flies
through the summer, however well cured and
smoked. The smoke-house, if well made preserves
them, and this is the more common place of deposit
with those who smoke their own hams. But
multitudes have on hand a seasons supply of
hams and shoulders. They keep much better in
dry atmosphere. If sugar-cured hams are
purchased, the cloth that covers them is a sufi-
cient protection against insects. If the hams are
home-cured, they can be covered with cloth at
small expense, or even with bag of thick paper
tied tight at the top, around the string by which
they are suspended. If hung in dry, cool place,
they will not mould, and will always be on hand
for the staple of hearty meal, in any emergency
of the family. Farmers generally make their own
meat, and cure it, and, with good recipe for
curing, secure better hams than they can pur-
chase, and at less cost. pays to keep the larder
well stocked with the best.

Good Advice. The York Age says: "a young
woman who thought she was losing her husbands
affection went to seventh daughter of a seventh
daughter for a love powder. The mystery woman
told her: Get raw piece of beef, cut fat, about
half an inch thick. Slice an onion in two and
rub the meat on both sides with it. Put on pep
per and salt and toast it on each side over red
coal fire. Drop on it three Jumps of butter and
two sprigs of parsley, and get him to eat it.
The young wife did SO, and her husband loved
her ever after"

The Healthfuluess Of Milk.-A medical
authority says if any one wishes to grow feshy,
a pint of milk on retiring at night will soon cover
the scrawniest bones Although we see good
many feshy persons nowadays, there are great
many lean and lank ones too, who sigh for the
fashionable measure ofplumpness, and who would
be vastly improved in health and appearance
could their flesh be rounded with good solid flesh.
Nothing is more coveted by thin woman than a
full figure, and nothing will arouse the ire and
provoke the scandal of the "clipper build" as the
consciousness of plumpness in a rival. In the
cases of fever and summer complaint milk is now
given with excellent results. The idea that milk
is feverish has exploded, and it is now the
physicians and in bringing through typhoid fever
patients or those in too low a state to be nourished
by solid food. 1t is mistake to scimp the milk
pitcher. Take more milk and buy less meat.
