twenty-seven reyiyers have died since the work
of revision was begun.
The religious papers are now discussing the
question of hymn reading in church. The old
custom is for the minister, on announcing n
hymn, to read it aloud. Many people are tired
OF this. They consider it a relic of the old times
when hymn books were scarce and congrega-
tons were ignorant. Very few ministers know
how to read hymns an edifying manner.
Most of them give the rhymes q schoolboy twang,
or else read in such a monotonous way as to bore
the people. The prevailing opinion is that it is
sufficient for the minister simply to state the
number of the hymn or to give the first line. In
some churches figures denoting the humn num-
Der are placed in sight of all the people.
THE American Sunday school has adopted
pleasant way of stimulating its missionaries to
promptness in making their reports. A report
of each days work is required from every mis-
sionary. This report must be mailed to the
secretary at Philadelphia the 10th of each
month If it comes on time and is satisfactory,
check for the missionaries pay is sent him at
once. If the report is late the check for the
months pay is not sent until one month later.
Most of the missionaries exceedingly prompt.
THE Christian AdDocate gravely declares its
belief that lit is not probable that Shakespeare
will be read enough by anybody to do any serious
harm" John Wesley Giligent student of
Shakespeare. At his death a copy of Shake
speare's writings was found among his effects,
with notes in Wesley's own hand. This was
destroyed by the Rev. John Pawson, on the
ground that it would not administer to edifca
ton" A Methodist minister of some repute in
modern days gave up reading shakespeare be-
cause he found himself quoting from that au-
thority in his sermons three times as much as
he quoted from the Bible.

BOSTON HOTELS.


In a community where brain culture is
carried to a high state of perfection by means
OF what is put into the stomach, it is natural
that the hotels should be pretty conspicuous.
And still one of the first snsgs / ran against
was an effort to find my bearings by inqulr-
ing for the Parker House. The Parker House
became famous many years ago through the
story that Senator Hoar was one OF is orig
iual projectors, on condition that he should
have the privilege of naming the
caravansary, but was promptly excused from
his contribution when it was found that be
proposed to name it after himself. / sup
posed, with this early history, every native
Bostonese would know the Parker House, and
I innocen.ly inquired OF street corner mer-
chant for the hotel. He looked at me with
such en- air Of establishment, mingled with
pity, that it made me almost wish had never
been born, but he never uttered word. I
concluded that lsd struck FORMULATING
deaf and dumb asylum and reeiprocated his
look Of pity to as great an extent as a repre-
sentative of the ''rowdy west" could be ex-
peeted to bring to bear on BostOnese, and

Demand for Cattle.

cheyenne Live Stock Journal
The indications now are that stock
cattle will rule high in the spring. a
large area in the western part Of the
Indian territory has been leased by
the various tribes to ranchmen, cover
ing lands not heretofore used as
range. These are generally being in
closed with wire, aud at least hun
bred thousand head of cattle will have
to be purchased to stock them. In the
eastern part Of the nation the legis-
latures Of several tribes have granted
citizenship papers to IL consid-
cradle number of persons with Indian
blood who have never lived in the
territory, and many of these are pre-
paring tc sock large ranges. These
cattle must come from Texas. We
hear Of number of large ranges in
New Mexico having been recently
bought with Il view of stocking from
the South, requiring fifty thousand or
more, and there are few large ranges
in the extreme western part of Texas
not. yet fu ly stocked. Wyoming,
Montana and Dakota want more cat
tie, so it looks now rs if the demand
would more than cover the supply.
Hence we may look for little, if any,
falling off from last years prices for
range cattle"

In Bavaria it is illegal to criticise
even in friendly spirit, the actions
of the king. Soon after the termina-
ton Of the Franco-German war a
story was told OF meeting in the
streets of Munich between the king
OF Bavaria and IL wounded soldier,
during which the king, finding that
he was not recognized, expressed his
surprise. "IIow should | know your
Majesty" said the soldier in eXplana-
ton. You never go to the army,
and | never go to the play" TO the
publication of this anecdote may
probably be attributed the determlna-
ton taken by the king not to tolerate
remarks of any kind on his private
movements.

| Resolved, First-That it is the sense OF this
| convention that lawleSSneSS OF whatever CHAR
acter should be discountenanced, and we re-
spectfully request the legislature to pass such
| laws as may be adequate to the protection OF
the property OF all citizens of the state.
| Second-ihat we regal d the grass as much
| the property of the owner OF the land us the
| timber that grows thereon. and request protec-
| ton from fires, depredaIions and other Illegal
| ties.
| Third-That all open lands, or lands not
| fenced, should receive that protection due
| from the state to an interest which Is so large
a taN-paying element of the state.
Fourth-That we regard the protection OF
| the schOo, lands. and the obtaining of the
| greatest revenue therefrOm, of vital importance
| to the state and to our posterity, and we re-
| specially request such legislation in that re-
| gard as the legislature may deem best. to the
| end that the largest revenue may be secured
4 to the school fund.
L
| triue of "free range" we deem it injudicious
| to pass herd law at this time.
| Sixth-That having full confidence in the
| wisdom Of the legislat re now assembled at
| Austin, and believing that our rights will be
| fully and amply protected by legislation at
their hands, we are satisfied to leave with it all
matters and grievances that affect our inter
| eStS.
The report was adopted without a
dissenting vote, and the result was
announced amidst applause.
Mr.. George B. Zimpleman moved
that five hundred copies of the pro-
ceedings of the association be printed

prevailed.

ton.
Mr.. Seligson thought the resolution
not a proper theme for discussion by
the association. 1t would give color
and tone to the assertions of the Gal
weston News, that this meeting was
called at the present time to bulidoze
the legislature. Several bills had al
ready been introduced in the legisla-
ture for herd. What we want is a
suppression of fence-cutting and the
punishment of fence-cutters.
Mr.. Grain said the resolution was
improper, for the reason that the gov
ernor had not embraced in his procla-
nation convening the legislature the
subject of herd law, hence the legis
lature could not enact any such meas
ure. lie hoped to see the resolution
withdrawn.
Capt Paddock met this proposition
by saying that what was omitted IN
. the proclamation could be embraced
in a message, and he thought thu
governor in plain English
: had recommended legislation upoI
a herd law in his message. The reso
luton was certainly in order.
Mr.. North wanted to have Senator
Terrells bill read tor information.
Ex-senator Lane said that Senate
