IT is quite..right that church in search

IT is quite.rightth that church in search
OF pastor should desire as good a man
as can be found but it appears, from re-
marks that occasionally find their way
into print, that such church committees
imagine that the apostles are still in the
flesh, though perhaps travelling incognito,
and that the spirits Of just men made
perfect have a way OF coming back to
earth and entering the ministry. 1t was
to such committee, probably, that the
New London Telegraph says prominent
divine in Connecticut recently remarked /:
go back and tell your people to send an
immediate invitation 10 the Angel Ga
briel:" Whether they accepted the adj
vice is not known, but probably they did
not, for Gabriel is currently believed to
carry trumpet, the sound OF which will
awaken the dead The deadest churches
are always the most exacting when in
search OF ministers, but they object
strongly to having pastors who win
awaken them.

A Safe Light for Miners.

An electric saiety-lamp was exhibited
by Mr.! j. w. Swan at Il late meeting OF
mining and mechanical engineers at
Newcastle, England. The lamp is
portable, being fed by n secondary bat
terry, and the whole weighing
about six pounds. and is said Ia
be capable OF giving two or three
times as much light as the ordinary
safety-lamp during ten Or twelve
hours. The supply OF electric energy is
readily renewed, and the batteries OF seq
eral hundred lamps may be rechargcd in
a few hours by connection with a suitable
electric main. Mr., Swan hopes to give
miners still further security by the adj
dition OF foul-air detector to the lamp.

Mrs. f. w. Ruff has on exhibition at
her kensington Art School one of the
richest and most magnificent curtains
ever seen in this locality. The work is
exquisite lustra painting on rich cardinal
plush, and the design-a series of clusters
OF grapes--is executed with extraordinary
taste and naturalness. The fnishings,
consisting of cords and balls, are both
elegant and novel, and constitute a most
pleasing completeness to the handsome
drapery. The article is to be ratified at
an early day, and the chances, which cost
dollar each, are going off like hot cakes

ExpLArNrSG the lack of men of brain

EXPLAINING the lack of men of brains,
who unite the distinctively manly
characteristics with earnestness "in So
clety," the Philadelphia Times remarks
that "the simple fact is that life is too short
to be successes in many things" and
adds: The influences OF society life
proper are both distracting and wearing.
There is no pessimism in saying that. ii
society wants successful men instead of
nonentities who are much too numerous
wherever one looks it will probably have
to go half way to get them, ii it doesn't
have to go the entire distance"

purpose OF seeing all the stockholders and
laying before them the sanguine pros

The purpose of ventilating cellars is to
make them cool and dry. They are often ven-
tilated 50 as to be warm and damp. This is
done when the air admitted to them from with
out is considerably warmer than the air within
them. Coming into the cooler cellar, this air,
while it raises the temperature of the cellar air.
itself is cooled and deposits its moisture which
soon becomes evident as visible or palpable
dampnes5. Therefore all the ventilation of
cellars in warm weather should be done at
night and the cellar should be kept closed be-
tween sunrise and sunset.-P3pular Science
Monthly.
-Cutworms are usually about six or eight
inches below the surface. Freezing does not
harm them if they are undisturbed. If they
are thrown to the surface, however, and ex-
posed to the direct action of air and cold they
perish. Therefore, plow the ground as early
in Spring as possible, which is the easiest,
quickest, and surest method of destroying
them. Applications of salt, lime, ETC., which
have been tried for their determination usu-
ally result in failure.
