The outlook for Kansas never was
better at the beginning of any year than
it is now. The growing wheat is in
most excellent condition. The business

There is demand from China fol

AT the autumn meeting of the Uni.

sian.
The state of feeling which charac.
acterizes revival is simply an interest
in religious things, Christians then
feel strongly, and because they do thus
feel, they pray and work for the saliva
ton of sinners. Deep and earnest
feeling is at the bottom of all effective
Christian effort.
The late Bishop Fraser, of Chester,
England, exclaimed one evening twen-
ty minutes before services: II have not
single idea what l am to preach
about" He flung off his coat, and in
his shirt sleeves sat down at table,
and in twenty minutes emerged from
the room with the heads of sermon
which thrilled and electrified a vast
congregation for nearly an hour.
The annual report of the Presby-
terian Association of Baltimore shows
that $6,875.28 have been expended the
past year in church improvement in
and near to the city. During its twelve
years life the society," board of local

| 955.45. Formerly there were twelve,

thirty.
The New York churches are en-.
gagged in the agitation of continuation
| OF the half holiday that was generally
adopted by the business men of that
city during the summer months. Rev.
DR.. r. S. Macarthur said that he favored
it because it aims at the religious inn
provement of men. One object con-
templated by the Saturday half holiday
is to induce larger numbers to attend
the house of God on the Lords day,
Those who have carefully looked into
the matter affirm that since this move
ment began this result has been secured.

| Since the date of disestablishmenl
and disendowment there has beer
some dispute as to the right of the
Episcopal church in Ireland to cal
itself, as it was wont to do, ''Tht
Church of Ireland" and not long since
a prominent government official was
taken to task by the church authorities
for so doing. The question was sub
mitted to the law officers of the Crown
and Lord Plunkett, the present Arch
bishop of Dublin, has been officially in
formed that the proper legal title of tn
Protestant Episcopal Church in tina
island is 1.-The Church of Ireland, "

TAGGING AT RUGBY.
A System of Abuse Practiced Upon Yonng
Scholars.

A very important custom in which
newcomers have to be instructed is
that of tagging. They are purposely
allowed fortnight's grace that they
may carefully study the duties exacted
of them. 1t is with tagging as with
football and hare-and-hounds. It's
greatest days are past. Think of boy
having to warm three or four beds on a
cold night by lying in them until the
heat of his body has destroyed their
chill, and then having to rise at four
o'clock in the morning to run two miles
to the Avon to attend to the fishing
lines of the sixth-form boys. and then
to be back in time for first lesson!
Fancy his being obliged to form one of
of team of four or twelve in harness,
to be raced around the school-yard, Or
''close," by the pr@postors of the Four
in-hand Club, and compelled to make
fower-beds for the same mighty beings,
having half pewter spoon and a
whole fork for his only garden tools, and
the flowers to be supplied by fair
means or foul! Yet these were a few
of the services expected of fags in the
days when '.there were giants in the
land,' as a Rugby song says. Now
they are treated with much more leni-
ency. Only the sixth-form boys are
allowed to have fags. The younger
boys must wait on them at breakfast,
tea and supper, run their errands to the
nearest pastry-cook shop, clean out
their studies, attend to their wants in
the dormitories, and sometimes field"
for them at cricket. Asin several other
public schools, when the sixth-form
boy or pr@postor wants anything, he
calls out .F-a-a-gr' in answer to which
call all the tagging boys must run, the
last to arrive having to do the work.
1t is but for a short time, fortunately,
that tagging is really serious and per-
haps tiresome duty. For the rule is
that during boys first term, he must
run at the first call; during his second,
he need only answer the second, and SO
on; so at the end of his second school
year he has comparatively little to do

SELECTION OF LAND.
Geology an Unreliable Guide to the Nature
of Soil.


of Soil.
In choosing land for agricultural pur-
poses it is very unsafe for the farmer to
be guided by any loose notions of the
geological features of the locality. Ge-
ology in this respect and for this use is
one of those things of which a little
knowledge is dangerous. There are
few places where the everything soil has
been derived from the breaking down
of the underlying and outcropping
rocks, and these can only be detected
by an expert geologist and mineralogist.
Generally the soil is made up of drifted
materials, which have been brought
from distant places by the force OF
great floods of water or vast bodies OF
Ice, and have been spread over the sur
face and moved back and forth in much
the same manner, but to much smaller
extent, as we see them now. 1t is only
where the rocks lie near the surface
and in the most ancient geological
formations, as in Northern Michigan,
Eastern Canada, and all along the Ale
ghany ranges, as far south as Alabama,
that this primitive condition of the soil
exists. Elsewhere the character Of the
rocks of the neighborhood can not be
safely taken as guide to the nature OF
the soil.--N Y Times.

DEEP SEA TRAWLERS.
Twelve Thousand People Who Are With.
out Churches, Chapels or Libraries.

Crossing the North Sea in fine steam.
ers plying to Rotterdam, Hamburg, or
the Baltic ports, some readers may have
had their interest awakened and their
curiosity aroused while passing through
fleets of little vessels, whose white and
brown sails sparkling in the sun seemed
in the distance like the wings of sea-
fowl, but on nearer views were resolved
into light. handy smacks, apparently
innumerable, dancing ON pillows for
miles around and dotting the horizon
far as eye could reach. What are these
vessels? A trawling fleet.
Perhaps some one may have asked,
where do all the fish come from? A
few years ago the answer might have
been from the coasts; and description
of fisherman, generally accepted,
would have been one who goes forth at
sunset, or sunrise, as the case may be,
and returns the next day, to be well
coined by his anxious wife and smiling
BARNS. Very pretty, and very true of
the coasters, but by no means appli-
cable to deep sea smacksmen. Their
lot is cast in different places-their fish
ing grounds lie far off in the North
Sea, where they toll, summer and
winter, all the year round, with only a
| few days break occasionally, when they
| run home to refit. Out on the
North Sea there are of course neither
churches nor chapels, reading rooms
| nor libraries-neither clergyman nor
minister ever comes round tlat way;
the Scripture reader and the mission
ary find it too far off. So far as ordi-
nary means are concerned, the deep
sea fisherman, our own flesh and blood,
hailing from our own shores, working
| within hundred miles or so of our
coasts, toiling ON our behalf, trawling
the fish that come to our markets and
tables, might as well be cruising in the
Caribbean seas. Year in. year out, il
is drudgery and toll unceasing, with.
out any of those privileges and joys
which raise our hopes and ennoble oul
souls. The Gospel is to them an unfa-
miliar sound. True, in boyhood they
may have heard of such things; but
far off in the North Sea, beyond the
reach of pulpit or press, cast in the
company of those who know not ano
care not for such things, they soor
catch the prevalent tone and go will
the rest. Bygone lessons are forgotten
in present isolation, and they are ap
to sink to the general level. AS rule
singularly sharp and intelligent in thei
own line, and in many ways attractive
in their fine, frank, fearless style, bu
neglected or forgotten, it is little won
der they have let slip teachings an,
truths. These deep sea fishermen ar
not small and numerically insignifi
cant body. There are over twelv
thousand of them cruising in the Nortl
Sea- QaiU&'.

THE SiSTER-IN-LAW.
A Disagreeable and Expensive Addition to

A Disagreeable and Expensive Addition to
aHappy Family.
The mother-in-law has had her day.
She has had many days. She will have
many more. All joking and senseless
puns aside, the mother-in-law is very
handy creature to have around when
the baby is taken suddenly sick, when
your wife has chill or when you want
to borrow funds to settle for last
winters coal before filling the bill this
season. I used to make wretched jokes
about the mother-in-law. l thought a
funny scribe could not get along with
out having his occasional fling at her.
I don't say hard things about the
mother-in-law now / have got one
now. Ihave got something else. The
mother-in-law is an angel compared to
what I've got. When married ! didn't
agree to marry my wife's sister. That's
the case in nutshell I've got a sister,
in-law. Did you ever have one? Be
very careful. Don'tl My mother-in-
law never cost me single cent. My
sister-in-law, if she continues, will
bankrupt me. One year ago ! bought
parlor set. My sister-in-law and her
friends have created disaster among
my parlor furniture. She sparks by
my coal fire. She reads gush to her
beau under my gas. She wears out my
gate hinges. she has the best room in
the house. She must have a sealskin
like my wife's. She says Chawly don't
like to hear the baby cry. She goes to
the seaside with my wife. She bosses
nv servant. She-she-well; if any
mother-in-law could be more expensive
and disagreeable than my sister-in-law
| I'd like to meet her. I'd trade my
sister-in-law off for a yellow dog; then
I'd shoot the dog.-H. s. Keller, IN ST
