CHURCHES AND W0RKINGMEY

1t is grave charge made against the
churches, not only in the large cities,
but the smaller towns, that they are
losing their hold on the working m On.
If this be true, the churches should
make haste to check the tide of aliena-
ton, for there is no more important ele-
ment Of society in every community
than the working men. The reason
assigned for the diminishing influence
of the churches, is that they have large
ly become social organizations, of more
or less clanish and aristocratic tenden-
cies. They are charged with moving
in exclusive circles, and exercising
favoritism towards those Of their own
particular organization. These charges
in many cases may be true, but in the
main they are probably more imagin.
airy than real. Statements in respect
to church delinquencies are apt to be
IONOlOldWu lie
The Christian Union, one of the
most able religious papers, has bold
words for the churches of the present
day. That paper says:
eve need a broader christianity.
The churches in our great cities, and
even in our larger towns, are becoming
social clubs. The cultured disciple
drives by the tenement of the ignorant
and hungry to worship in a luxurious
cathedral the Christ who went out of
the synagogue, that he might teach the
ignorant in the streets and feed the
hungry. Call you this following
Christ? We want fewer services, that
we may have more serving; we want
less preaching, that we may have more
practicing. The age of miracles has
passed and the poor no longer have the
gospel preached to them. It is true
Christianity is still Christianity, though
it is enervated by luxury and palsied
by refinement"

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN FRANCE

The people of the United States are
inclined to be considered first in most
things. But in the matter of public
free schools, France has superior
claims, especially in the establishment
of schools of purely manual instruction.
The friends of education in this coun.
try, after long S leep of contentment
have allowed the schools to run in the
old way. simply educating the head
without the hand, and it is only until
quite recently that a few educational
men have begun to rub their eyes to
discover that much less is being done
in this country for an EDUCATION of
practical value than in portions of
Europe. From reports France has
been expanding little over twen-
ty-fiye millions annually on the schools,
and the municipalities not long since
were authorized to expend about S1o0..
100000 for school houses and appara-
tus. But, best OF all, the general gov
ernment has introduced the principle
of free schools for purely instruction
in tredeS, and has also provided
for compulsory attendance in the

ANOTHER ENGLISH MINE HOR-
ROR.

MANCHESTER, June 18.-A terrible ex.
plosion of fire damp occurred this morn
ing in the Clifton Hall colliery, neal
this city. There were $50 men in the
mine at the time, 120 of whom have
been rescued, while 230 are entombed, al
of whom it is feared will be either suffo
Gated or burned to death. Great excite
ment prevails, and the scenes in the
vicinity of the mine are heartrendering
Wives, mothers and relatives are con
gregated near the entrances crying,
shrieking and imploring God to save the
loved ones imprisoned below.
The cages used by the exploring par
ties got stuck in descending the shaft
which delayed them fully two hours
They have not yet succeeded in reach
ing the imprisoned miners. The res
cued men say at the time of the explo-
sion they rushed to the bottom of the
main shaft and barely got there with
their lives. They are ignorant of the
fate of those left behind.

Statisticians report the number OF
mechanics and artisans now out OF
employment in the United States over
100000. A considerable proportion OF
these have been thrown out of work
by employers; others have quit work
on account of reduction of wages. LIN
the meantime money is abundant
strikes are not diminishing, but have
rather been on the increase the past
six months. If this condition OF
things is not only to continue, but to
go on augmenting in force, untold
dangers to the public peace will ensue
unless history fails to repeat elf.

A society has been organized in Mil
waukee, called the Wisconsin Anti
Prohibition Association. The name
of this society indicates its purpose. 1t
contends that prohibition seeks to
abridge personal liberty, and is subver.
sive of free government; that the PEG
pie are entitled to a large liberty,
therefore all prohibitory laws are en-
croachments on human rights. With
this subterfuge as a basis, the anti
prohibitionists propose to organize a
state society.

Last Sunday was largely observed
by the churches throughout the coun-
try as "Children's Day." In this city
both morning and afternoon were de-
voted to the children in the Methodist
church. Some of the Methodist
churches in the country towns of this
county observed Sunday in this way.
All, or nearly all the Protestant
churches in Milwaukee gave a service
to the children.

French, Rector of st. Matthew'S church
in this city. The recent new revision
Of the Old Testament, although reveal
ing no new discovery, has excited
much comment by both the religious
and secular press. The true meaning
of the word "hell" has not been chang.
ed, but the prevailing idea of its being
place of condign punishment is found
not to be warranted by the text. But
let no goddess man fatter himself be-
cause hell is not place of extreme
suffering he will therefore have any
immunity from pain in the after exist
ence; for, as Rev. French says, the
doctrine of future punishment rests or
another class Of scriptures.

The sorghum sugar interests, so
prevalent in this county and portion

have subsidized. Whether this is owing
to the cheapness of sugar in the mar

How 10 Cut Glass.

Many persons may not be aware THAI
glass can be cut under water with great
est ease, to almost any shape, by simply
using pair of shears or strong scissors.
In order to insure success two points
must be attended to-first and most i'm
portant, the glass must be kept quite
level i'm the water while the scissors are
applied; and secondly, to avoid risk, 1t
is better to begin the cutting by taking
off small pieces at the corners and along
the edges, and to reduce the shape grad
ually to that required, for if any attempt
is made to cut the glass to the shape as
we would cut piece of cardboard, it
will be most likely to break just where
it is not wanted. Some kinds of glass
cut much better than others; the softer
glass is the best for this purpose. The
scissors need not depend on the state Of
the edge presented to the glass. When
the operation goes on well the glass
breaks away from the scissors in small
pieces in straight line with the blades.
This method of cutting glass has often
been Of service when diamond has not
been at hand, for cutting ovals and seq
ments, and though the edges are not as
smooth as might be desired for some
purposes, it will answer in many cases.
The two hints given above, if strictly
followed, will always insure success

Old Egyptian Skill.

The ancient Egyptians excelled In
nice mechanical work, aud 1t might
puzzle some of our masons and stone
workers to equal them at the present
day. Mr.. Kendrick, in speaking of the
casing of the great pyramids, says: "The
joints are scarcely perceptible, and not
wider than the thickness of silver pa
per; and the cement is so tenacious that
fragments of the casing stones still re-
main in their original position, not
outstanding the lapse of so manly CEN
turtles and The violence by which they
were detached. All the fine work OF
the interior passages where granite is
not expressly mentioned Is of the same
stone, and finished with the same beau
tiful exactness. But the skill in quar-
rying was displayed more in the ex-
tracing of the huge blocks out of which
obelisks and colossal statues were hewn.
Obelisks ninety and statues forty feet
high, each fashioned out Of one stone,
were not uncommon things; and the
blocks selected for these monuments
were not chance splnters from barbar-
Gus efforts of splitting and smashing,
but clean slices separated seeundem ar
TEN from the native rock, after being
selected and accurately defined. And
how WAS this done-by driving in huge
iron wedgesr No, indeed-that would
probably have split the stone. By inf
mite labor, then, in chiseling and saw
ing? The old Egyptians knew trick
somewhat cleverer than that; they cut
small groove along the whole length
of, say, one hundred feet, and in this
inserted number of dry wooden
wedges; then they poured water into
the groove, and the wedges expanding
and with great force,
broke away the large fragments as neat
ly as strip of glass is taken off by a
diamoad."
