" Blood and Flre!"
WILLIAM BOOTH,
"GENERAL" OF THE SALVATION ARMY,
VISITING THE UNITED STATES.

General Booth, our latest distin-
guished visitor, is the autocratic head
of great organization, and as such is
q man of importance. At the recent
International Congress of the Salvation
Army, held in London, the following
figures were reported: The Army had
had held 1900 weekly, and l. 466. 400
daily services during the year, and
printed its newspaper in 10 languages.
General Booth originated it, con
tinues to be its leader, and it will rest
upon him to appoint his successor.
The Salvation Army was founded
twenty -one years ago, by William Booth,
who was then living in the east OF
London. He was assisted in it's organi-
zntion by his wife, who is his associate
in command" The movement grew
out of the conviction that the work of
the Protestant denominations as ordi-
narily conducted does not reach the
very poor and depraved, among whom
Mr.. Goth and his wife had been work
ing for years. 1t was strange depart.
ure for man who had begun life as
member of the Church of England
In his youth he joined the Wesleyan
Methodists, after experiencing CONVEX
sion. He was soon on the list of local
preachers belonging to that church. Mr..
Booth read theology with diligence and
was received into the ministry of the
Methodist New Connoxion, body OF
Christians which originally split off from
parent Wesleyanism. In 1861 he re.
signed his ministerial position to engage
in missionary work among the degraded
poor Of London. He is an able and
energetic man.
His mode of aggressive Christian
activity is by maintaining military dis
functions of rank, accompanied by the
insignia and uniform of soldiers life,

Robert Fulton's Boyhood.

The boyhood of the famous Robert
Fulton, of steamboat renown, was
passed at Lancaster, Pa. Here are
some anecdotes of him while he was at
school there: On one occasion his
teacher reproved him for neglecting
his books, and the reproof was admin
istcred after the manner of 1.-THE old
masters with ferulc on the knuck-
les
Robert Strengthened himself, folded
his arms, and then said to Mr.. john
son:
"Sir, | came here to have something
beat into my head, and not into my
hand"
On another occasion he came late,
and when the teacher asked the reason,
Robert answered that he had been at
Mr.. Miller's shop pounding out lead to
make pencil. In proof of this state
ment he exhibited the pencil, and said
it was the best he ever had in his life.
Mr. johnson approved it, and gave
the youth some words of encourage
ment, and in q few days nearly all the
other pupils were supplied with pencils
of the same kind.
1t is said that when Mr.. johnson
once urged him to give more attention
to his studies, the boy answered that
his head was $50 full of original notions
that there was no room to store away
the contents of dusty books. ."--Golden

One Dollar Per Year.
Nobody Was Punished.

Once when DR.. Nathaniel Prentice
was head master of public school at
Roxburgh, he threatened to punish
with six blows of heavy ruler the first
boy who should be found whispering.
In order that he might not omit pun
ishing those who deserved it, he ap-
pointed certain number of boys as
detectives.
Soon afterwards, one of them called
out:
John Zigler is whispering.
John was called up and answered.:
"Yes, was whispering, but / really
was not aware what / was about. [
was working out new sum. and asked
the boy who was next TO me to hand
me an arithmetic that contained the
rule | wanted to see.
Now John was great favorite both
with master and pupils, and DIR. Prem
tice regretted at once She hasty threat
he had made; still, he told John he
could not allow him. to whisper, or
even to escape the promised punish.
ment.
"a wish l could avoid il, but l can
not without breaking my word. Now
| will leave it to any three boys you
like to choose, to say whether or not |
shall omit the punishment.
John agreed TO this, and called up
three boys, who after talking for somo
little time, said:
THE masters word must be kept.
John must receive the threatened six
blows, but they must be given to volun-
tary substitutes. We three will share
the punishment by receiving two blows
each.
John now stepped forward with out
stretched hand
mo, no, sir" he exclaimed, "they
shall not be struck a blow. | will re-
ceive the punishment.
Under pretense of wiping his face,
the doctor shielded his eyes, which
filled with tears, and, telling the boys
to return 10 their seats, he said he
would remember that scene to his dying
day. Needless to say, the punishment
was never inflicted. Little Folks.

Fishing Made Easy.

An italian savant has discovered a
new and simple method of catching
fish. The bait is musical one. As we
all know, the sense of hearing is extra
ordinarily developed in fish. 1t appears
that, while the slightest noise scatters
them in all directions. a musical note,
espec ally that produced by the human
voice, attracts them; on hearing it they
stop suddenly in theii course. Signor
Saretti, discovering this fact. embarked
one morning on the e1ake of Geneva with
a party of friends. He possesses very
fine deep bass voice, and striking up a
National song he proved to his asiound-
ed companions the truth of his asser-
tons. They were able by means of an
aquascope to perceive the eagerness
with which the piscine population gath
cred around the little boat. Casting
over the nets they had brought. they in
stantly made such a catch as has rarely.
if ever, been known on the lake. and
they may be said. indeed, to have made
another miraculous draught on fishes. 4"
